Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Can’t hold on anymore, I’m here_1

Facing the “five-day agreement” proposed by Xu Fan, Xu Yixue thought for a moment but decided to let their connection continue a little longer.

Because tomorrow is Monday, and Xinghai Media will soon be targeted in the stock market by that mysterious adversary, she simply won’t have the time or energy to take care of Tongtong.

There is an even more serious problem, because this opponent is so sly, and has not exposed his true colors even now, so Xu Yixue still doesn’t know who he actually is; she can only focus on resolving the issues the company is facing in the stock market first.

However, judging by this mysterious adversary’s modus operandi, he definitely won’t just target Xinghai Media in the stock market. If he doesn’t succeed in striking the company, he might adopt more insidious and despicable tactics, for example, threatening people close to Xu Yixue.

Since there has already been a mass departure in one of the company’s departments, Xu Yixue is well aware that the adversary’s tactics must be sneaky and despicable. Without even knowing who he really is, she has no choice but to be on guard.

Tongtong is clearly a weak point close to Xu Yixue, and at this critical juncture, if someone were to harm Tongtong, it would be more than Xu Yixue could bear.

Even compared to Xinghai Media, Tongtong holds a far more important place in Xu Yixue’s heart.

If it were before, Xu Yixue could have asked Ye Xiaoning to take care of Tongtong, since Ye Xiaoning, as a former Phoenix special forces operative, could definitely handle it if someone tried to harm Tongtong.

But now it’s impossible, as Ye Xiaoning has been tasked with a critical mission and has become the chief trader for Xinghai Media in the stock market. Moreover, she has even recruited several of her highly skilled former classmates to come help out at Xinghai Media.

If Ye Xiaoning isn’t there, it would be very difficult for Xu Yixue to cope with this assault on the stock market alone.

Therefore, someone else will have to be found to ensure Tongtong’s safety.

Aside from Ye Xiaoning, Xu Yixue trusts no one else but Xu Fan.

“The five-day agreement is still on, only now, you’ve behaved well over these days, so I’ve decided to let you spend a few more days with Tongtong. Just don’t get cocky. Tongtong has always been my treasure from beginning to end, and you can’t even think of taking her away,” Xu Yixue said to Xu Fan, emphasizing each word.

“Haha, so that means I can spend the next few days with my darling girl, right?” Xu Fan let out a smile.

“Yes, but the company has been targeted recently and there might be some accidents, you must protect Tongtong!” Xu Yixue said with a serious face.

“No problem, if my girl loses even a single hair, I’ll cut off my own head for you,” Xu Fan said confidently.

Although his tone was a bit arrogant, Xu Fan’s words were not empty talk, but confidence built on real strength.

Xu Yixue might not be a martial artist, but having seen many of Xu Fan’s amazing and peculiar abilities, she was extremely reassured by his skills and nodded, saying, “Then I’ll leave our daughter in your care for these few days, as I need to devote all my efforts to dealing with the company’s affairs.”

“Hey, it seems like your company is having quite some trouble, do you really not need my help?” Xu Fan said with a bit of concern to Xu Yixue.

“I can solve my own problems, and besides, you’ve not been the Xu Family’s eldest young master for a while now. Although your martial prowess is impressive now, it’s only good for fighting, and doesn’t really help on the corporate operations level,” Xu Yixue gently rejected Xu Fan’s offer.

In her mind, even though Xu Fan now possessed mysterious martial capabilities, corporate operations were fought with capital and social connections, not the strength of one’s fists.

What Xu Yixue had no idea about was that, even though Xu Fan had only been in this time for a few days, he already had many top-tier social connections and power behind him.

Zhonghai’s richest man Lu Chennong, Zhonghai’s righteous gang leader Lu Chenbing, the medical community’s authority Lin Yaoshi, the collecting world’s big name Wang Fangtong, and Sun Jin’an, the elderly patriarch of the Sun Family who had retired from worldly affairs but still wielded immense influence.

Moreover, Xu Fan was the behind-the-scenes controller of the South City Hu Family and Night Castle, and he had an underling named Mo Luo Dan who was soon to be promoted to Martial Arts Grandmaster.

When it came to power and connections, Xu Fan could probably scare Xu Yixue if he revealed his status. Although Xu Yixue was the heir to the Xu Family, she had to manage Xinghai Media diligently. Only by turning Xinghai Media into Zhonghai City’s leading media company could Xu Yixue be deemed successful in her trial and could truly take over her family’s assets.

But right now, aside from Ye Xiaoning, Xu Yixue hardly had any noteworthy connections or funds. Compared to Xu Fan, who could easily secure a three-hundred-million auction sponsorship fee with a word, or pick up two cases full of cash during an outing with Song Qiang, her gap was still remarkably wide.

Xu Fan himself had a Blood Bodhi worth five hundred million in cash on hand, which was stolen loot and could only be used in secret without bringing it to light; otherwise, it could sell for several billion if passed around.

Even without the Blood Bodhi, Xu Fan still had at least three hundred and ten million in cash, money that was prepared for auction bidding. Unexpectedly, Qin Haowen, the young master of the Qin Family, drove up the price and directly bid the Blood Bodhi up to five hundred million. Xu Fan couldn’t afford it, so he had no choice but to resort to stealing.

However, this incident conveniently saved Xu Fan the money meant for purchasing the Blood Bodhi, and he still retained that three hundred and ten million in cash.

Even though the big boss of the Hu Family and Brother Long from the Night Castle claimed it was sponsorship money for Xu Fan to use in the auction, they wouldn’t dare to actually ask Xu Fan for the money back even if he didn’t use it for the auction.

The problems Xu Yixue’s company was currently facing were mostly related to capital and connections. In fact, considering the support Xu Fan had at his disposal, he was already fully capable of helping her resolve her troubles.

“If you really can’t hold on, just come to me, whether it’s funds or people, I have both,” Xu Fan said seriously to Xu Yixue.

Although Xu Yixue insisted on handling it alone, from Xu Fan’s perspective, she might not be able to withstand the assault aimed at Xinghai Media.

The mastermind behind the scenes daring to target Xinghai Media so openly obviously had an extremely thorough understanding of Xu Yixue’s company. Xu Yixue’s trump cards had likely been nearly completely scoped out, and it would be very difficult for her to survive solely on her own strength.

But no matter how formidable the behind-the-scenes mastermind was, they would never know that Xu Fan, by Xu Yixue’s side for just a few days, had already amassed an incredibly terrifying strength and network of connections.

And all of this was more than enough to crush anyone coveting a glance at Xu Yixue.
