"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"So you’ve already made twenty-five million? Let’s split it when we meet!"

Li Yang asked Chou Shuhui and finally understood where the twenty-five million came from.

Thinking back, he himself wasn’t confident at the time; even if given the chance, he most likely wouldn’t have gambled on it.

Initially, Li Yang was just joking, but the next day, Song Yu transferred the money.

The reason was that after going home yesterday, Xiang Baitao told his family about the situation, and they immediately brought the money over.

It wasn’t worth becoming enemies with Li Yang over twenty-five million.

Even when Xiang Baitao mentioned the little friction he once had with Li Yang, his parents almost beat him to death.

At least that’s what they said, who knows if it actually happened?

Li Yang returned the money because he couldn’t find a legitimate reason to take it.

Through this incident with Xiang Baitao, he also realized his current situation.

No one dared to easily provoke him, yet at the same time, no one dared to get close to him.

Although everyone feared he wasn’t good, everyone also thought he was easy to bully, which was worse.

Roommates and Song Yu were exceptions.

Including Xiangnu, the group of rich women, they were actually not very clever and didn’t have many schemes.

If they did, they wouldn’t still be muddling through after coming to the Capital City.

But being with such people was quite comfortable.

...

On Friday, Wanliu Capital’s scale successfully surpassed fifty billion.

Jiang Banxia went home that day and waited for a long time, but Li Yang didn’t come over.

Wanliu Capital even had a banner about it on their official website! That guy!

In fact, when Li Yang initially told her that she could reach a fifty billion scale within a year, she didn’t believe it. Fifty billion is extremely difficult, not that many people would entrust their money to you.

Unless it was a long-established fund, gradually earning trust over time.

Or unless there was an overwhelming amount of promotions, with all major financial platforms pinning you at the top, which could attract a lot of new funds from the market.

But that method also had a high cost, essentially requiring the management fee for the first two years to be used as a promotional expense, equating to two years of unpaid work.

Wanliu Capital’s expenses were still very small; apart from continuously hiring employees, as the company staff gradually exceeded a hundred, overall expenses weren’t extravagantly large.

Unlike those old funds, which became increasingly bloated in structure.

New companies have the advantage of a streamlined structure.

That night, she sent Li Yang a message.

"Master Li, have you seen Wanliu Capital’s website?"

A few minutes later, Li Yang replied, "Yes, yes, congratulations to Master Jiang for becoming the first female fund manager in the country to have a single fund exceed fifty billion! Congrats..."

Jiang Banxia replied, "Did you just check it out?"

"Yes."

"Then is there anything you’d like to say to me?"

"Um... well... I’ll come to see you in a few days."

...

At this moment, Li Yang was in a house in Jiangbei.

After school, around four in the afternoon, he bought a ticket and flew over, stopping Bai Qing from heading to the Capital City.

Now Bai Qing was asleep, but he couldn’t sleep, so he went to the living room to reply to Jiang Banxia’s message.

Usually, if Jiang Banxia asked him to, even if he had already taken his pants off, he would definitely go over.

But today his thoughts were quite complicated.

Due to some items disposed of during the holidays, Bai Qing might be pregnant.

Originally, Bai Qing planned to visit the Capital City in April, but recently her body showed some unusual symptoms, making her uneasy, so she wanted to visit sooner.

She called Li Yang only after reaching Jiangbei.

Li Yang worried about Bai Qing traveling back and forth, so he suggested she stay in Jiangbei and he would return as soon as possible.

After confirming that Xue Ning wasn’t in Jiangbei, he brought Bai Qing to stay in that house, had dinner, bought some daily necessities, and after coaxing her for a while, finally got her to sleep.

Despite speaking tough earlier, when such a thing truly happens, it’s naturally a bit terrifying.

It’s like encountering a rare gourmet meal that you crave to eat, even when you know overindulgence will make you uncomfortable; the satisfaction of eating can be irresistible.

Some people who become obese from eating have this mindset daily.

Li Yang sent Xiangnu a message: "Is there a reliable hospital in Jiangbei?"

"It’s already midnight, and you’re asking me if there’s a reliable hospital? What’s going on with you?"

"Nothing, just curious if there’s a reliable one, I don’t really want others to know. Never mind, just pretend I didn’t ask."

Li Yang pondered for a moment, ultimately giving up the idea.

In such a tense situation, it’s better not to do anything that might make others sensitive.

Besides, there are no secrets under the sun, the more you guard against others, the likelier something goes wrong.

Bai Qing actually knew everything, her intention to visit the Capital City was probably to observe his attitude.

At the slightest hesitation from him, she would likely abort the child immediately.

Naturally, it would also shatter their feelings for each other.

While it might not be irreparable, the scars would remain forever, like a broken mirror never fully rejoining.

When he returned to the bedroom, he lay down stealthily, trying not to disturb the sleeping Bai Qing, but as soon as he lay down, she reached out and embraced him.

Li Yang whispered, "You’re still awake?"

She was clearly asleep just now.

"Mm... I missed my husband."

Li Yang patted her shoulder and said, "Aren’t I here right by your side, I just booked a hospital appointment, worried the phone screen light would affect your sleep, it’s done now."

"Mm, which hospital did you book?"
