Her heart missed a beat

The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light.

This feeling was especially intense.

She knew that she didn't need to think too much about it. After all, even the existence of this photo didn't mean anything. However, it could at least mean one thing —

That morning, Li Muyan sealed off the media's news, but was unable to stop this person from secretly taking photos.

Gu Qingyao was quiet for a while, when she realized what she had done, she had already dialed Li Muyan's number.

She was about to quickly hang up when the voice from the other side called out, "Qing Yao?"

Gu Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?" Li Muyan's voice was calm and collected.

Gu Qingyao coughed lightly, concealing her loss of manners just now, and said: "Sorry to disturb you at this time."

"It's not too late. It's only eleven-thirty." Li Muyan looked at the time, his tone carrying a bit of a smile.

Gu Qingyao could only blush as she continued, "I … Before I could react, the phone call connected. "

This time, the smile on his face was even more genuine. "Go ahead."

"I got an e-mail. A photo taken the other day when I was out of the bar with you." Gu Qingyao said.

Li Muyan did not say anything, but immediately added: "That photo does not have your face, it's only mine."

"Send it over for me to take a look." Li Muyan said in a heavy voice.

Gu Qingyao nodded: "Your email address is …."

"I sent you my email, directly reply." Li Muyan's voice was calm, and for no apparent reason, it made the unease in the bottom of Gu Qingyao's heart subside.

She quickly replied Li Muyan's message and also sent a screenshot of the received page along with the message.

Li Muyan tapped on the keyboard for a while, then said: "I will go and check, you can go and sleep now, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"I'm sorry, this matter should be targeted at me." Gu Qingyao could hear the hidden rage in Li Muyan's voice and he subconsciously spoke.

Li Muyan was startled, then smiled: "Do you think I'm angry with you?"

"Then you …"

"It's not your fault. It was my fault. At that time, I excluded all of the media and thought that it was enough. In the end, I didn't guard against the person who secretly took the photos." Li Muyan's voice softened a little. He suddenly wanted to touch Gu Qingyao's head, but he was too far away.

Gu Qingyao's emotions calmed down just like that and she obediently answered: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. This is something that I should do anyway." Li Muyan said with a smile: "I said that I will protect you, leave you to me."

Only when he hung up the phone did Gu Qingyao realize that his face was flushed red.

When Li Muyan spoke, she seemed to subconsciously listen to him.

She flipped the photo over and over for a while, then typed in the sender's address, and sure enough, there was nothing.

The sender must have been very careful and didn't want to leave any trace. Thinking about it this way, it must have been sent over using a software that changed the IP address.

Gu Qingyao absent-mindedly refreshed herself for a moment, simply ignoring the unfathomable email, and went to look for funds.

She had to rely on her cell phone to keep track of the real world, but at night she could look at the foreign exchange market with perfect accuracy.

~ As expected, it is as I remembered, the value of the United States dollar has begun to decline a lot in these few years. Thinking about it here, Gu Qingyao quickly began to practice, establishing a virtual account outside of the country to control it, but she had to do it. Luckily, Li Muyan had already helped out quite a bit, so she fumbled around for a while before calling Xiao Ze in.

"Miss, are you going to list it abroad?"

"No, you don't have to do it that big, or there are people abroad who can be trusted to open an account with me. I want to operate foreign exchange." Gu Qingyao said with certainty.

"Yes, yes, but the foreign exchange market is not stable, miss …"

"Don't worry." Gu Qingyao said with a smile: "If we follow the map now, I can't think of any big actions in a month. Before this, I will do my best to buy all of the funds in the United States dollars."

"Buying short?" Xiao Ze was shocked.

This was not the basic direction of the current market. No one would want to be short on money at this time!

"Miss thinks the dollar will fall?" Xiao Ze asked carefully.

He was a little afraid that his young miss was acting on a whim. After all, Li Muyan had said that he would pay back the debt he owed him within five years … If he acted recklessly this time, he might really lose everything!

Gu Qingyao said as she nodded her head confidently, "That's right, I want to buy this wave empty-handed. Don't leak the news, help me manipulate it in the next few days."

"... "Alright." Xiao Ze's emotions were complicated.

It's over, it's over. Generally, people who have just entered the financial world would have this kind of problem, it's the blind confidence.

Xiao Ze thought about it and wanted to report to Li Muyan, but Gu Qingyao seemed to be able to read his thoughts, "Oh right, you said that you're mine, right?"

"Ah... Miss is right. " Xiao Ze immediately reacted, he said sternly: "This is a trade secret, I will follow the secret rules."

"Mm, that's good." Gu Qingyao thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Oh right, has Mr. Li's company considered going public overseas?"

"Before, I considered going public in the United States, but it hasn't been completely finalized yet. I don't think I'll consider it too much these few months. After all, I have to go through the SEC review, so I can't make it in time." Xiao Ze did not treat this matter as a secret, and naturally spoke of it.

Gu Qingyao thoughtfully nodded her head and entered the house.

She clearly remembered that during that time, the first financial crisis had broken out, and at the same time, the dollar had fallen sharply below expectations, and after that, the dollar had never gone up again.

The speculators had fallen very miserably here, and the Gu family had also suffered greatly in the past.

Gu Qingyao didn't know whether or not she should warn Gu Yanzhi.

This was the Gu family's property. In other words, it would be hers in the future.

An asset shrinking was something that … He still felt too much heartache.

Gu Qingyao frowned, she heard that Nian Wanru had finally returned.

In his memories, it was rare for Nian Wanru to return so late. Gu Qingyao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still walked out.

Nian Wanru's face carried a smile, but her eyes were a little dazed. "Qing Yao?"

She seemed to be surprised to see Gu Qingyao in the living room. Gu Qingyao laughed: "Why are you home so late?"

There was a faint smell of alcohol on Nian Wanru's body, but when she saw Gu Qingyao approaching, she subconsciously took half a step back, "Xiao Yao … "Why haven't you rested yet?"

Her eyes were slightly vigilant. Even though Gu Qingyao knew that people do not have too strong of a subjective awareness when they are drunk, she was still stung by that look. Gu Qingyao could only keep a distance and asked: "Did mother get drunk? Shall I help my mother get some rest? "

"This earring isn't mine, it shouldn't be mine." Nian Wanru's tears suddenly fell as she stretched out her hand to try and pull the earring.

Gu Qingyao was shocked, she was about to go up to block the door, but then she saw Gu Yanzhi opening the door from the second floor: "Qing Yao, you go back to your room."
