Chapter 170 The Rich and Vicious Female Supporting Character 4
At 08:30 AM, on the 36th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center, morning light filtered through a holographic projection of the Nasdaq index. Lin Ruan stood before a smart sandbox, a three-dimensional screen pulsing with real-time data streams from seven major global exchanges. System-generated streams of pale blue information swirled around her mind, each one highlighting key financial events for the next 24 hours.
"Activate the Alpha Hedge Agreement." Lin Ruan tapped his fingertips, and the red dots on the sandbox representing overseas funds began to split and reorganize. "Transfer holdings in the new energy sector to dark pool trading."
"Okay, Mr. Lin." The assistant responded quickly.
"Guotai Junan - CITIC Construction Investment Arbitrage Channel, Hedge Ratio 1:3.78."
"Got it, Mr. Lin." Another assistant quickly recorded and executed the instructions.
“Notify DEShaw that their market maker agreement needs to include a default circuit breaker clause.”
"clear."
Lin Ruan frowned, and her personal assistant Gu Huai immediately brought her a cup of coffee.
Lin Ruan took the coffee and took a sip.
"Is there still no news from the person I contacted before?"
"Boss Lin, three people have agreed to start work at the beginning of the month, and two others said they need to consider it further."
"Well, have someone follow closely."
"Okay Mr. Lin."
Since Tongda Future Investment Company started operating, the person who has been most exhausted is her, the founder. There's no other way. A newly established small company, without a good reputation, won't attract top talent.
Fortunately, she was just a little tired, and she had no shortage of investment clients.
There is no need to say anything about Mr. and Mrs. Shen. Since Tongda Future opened, Lin Ruan has attended countless cocktail parties under their leadership. There is no need to say anything more. Just saying that the founder is the daughter-in-law of Shen Group is enough.
After finishing the project at hand, Lin Ruan went to the conference room for a meeting. Halfway through the meeting, the secretary suddenly walked in and said softly, "Mr. Lin, there's a Mr. Li outside who wants to see you. He said he wants to discuss an important investment cooperation with you."
Lin Ruan frowned slightly and looked at the time. "Do you have an appointment?"
The secretary shook his head. "No, he said it was urgent and he wanted to talk to you in person."
Team member Xiao Zhang chimed in, "Boss Lin, the company's been so busy lately. Why don't you just turn it down? Someone who shows up without an appointment might not be reliable."
Lin Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet. Maybe it's an opportunity. You guys continue the discussion first. If you have any new ideas, feel free to communicate with me." After that, he stood up and walked towards the reception room.
In the reception room, Mr. Li stood up and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Lin, I've heard a lot about you! I'm so sorry to bother you without an appointment."
Lin Ruan smiled and responded, "It's okay, Mr. Li, please take a seat. You mentioned an important investment cooperation, what exactly does it mean?"
Mr. Li quickly said, "Look, I have a project on artificial intelligence medical applications with great potential. We've already made some progress and are in urgent need of funding. I understand your company has a keen eye for investment, so I'd like to explore the possibility of collaboration."
Lin Ruan's heart moved.
"Go Seventeen, check his house."
"It later went bankrupt because it didn't raise enough funding." The system rolled its eyes and said, "I've sent you the materials for all the companies that could succeed. The ones I didn't send you must have had problems in their original worldline."
"I know, I'm just asking. After all, the medical industry is incredibly profitable. Who wouldn't be jealous?"
Although his mind was busy communicating with the system, Lin Ruan said politely, "Mr. Li, this project sounds great. However, I need to know more about the project's business model, market positioning, profit forecast, and other aspects. Do you have any relevant information?"
Mr. Li quickly pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Lin Ruan. "It's all here, Mr. Lin, please take a look. Our project team is composed of top experts in the industry, with absolutely excellent technology, and the market demand is huge..."
Linruan flipped through the materials while listening to Mr. Li's presentation, occasionally raising a few key questions. After a while, Linruan formed a general assessment. "Mr. Li, your project does have some bright spots, but it also presents some risks. For example, the market is highly competitive. How can you ensure your product stands out? Also, the relatively long profit cycle presents a challenge for investors."
Mr. Li hurriedly explained, "Mr. Lin, we have considered all the issues you raised. We have unique technological advantages and have developed a detailed marketing strategy..."
At that moment, Lin Ruan's phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw a message from a team member, inquiring about a key decision in the project discussion. After a few replies, Lin Ruan said to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, I'll take your information and study it carefully. Our team will evaluate it later. If you have further interest, I'll arrange for someone to contact you."
Mr. Li stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll wait for your good news. I hope we can reach a cooperation."
After seeing Mr. Li off, Linruan returned to the conference room to continue discussing the project that had been interrupted. Everyone expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere was lively.
"Mr. Lin, I think that although this project has high risks, the potential returns are also high. If handled properly, it can greatly enhance the company's reputation." said team member Xiao Wang.
Another member, Xiao Li, expressed a different view: "But the company's current funding allocation is already quite tight. Will investing in this project affect the development of other businesses?"
Lin Ruan listened carefully to everyone's opinions and after a moment's reflection, he said, "Everyone's right. So, let's first form a special team to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth research and analysis of this project, including market prospects, technical feasibility, financial status, and so on. At the same time, we must also consider the company's current financial situation and strategic planning. Don't rush into a decision before we have a detailed report."
"Okay, Mr. Lin." Everyone nodded.
"I'll give you this information for evaluation as well." Lin Ruan signaled the secretary to hand over the things he had just received to everyone in the meeting room.
"Okay, it's almost lunchtime, let's adjourn everyone."
"Hahaha, President Lin is wise."
The afternoon is Lin Ruan's time to handle his own work.
As sandalwood incense emanated from the gilded and silver-inlaid Boshan censer, Gu Huai was adjusting the waistline of Lin Ruan's cheongsam, his white-gloved fingertips tracing the buttons at the back.
"Assistant Gu," Lin Ruan chuckled at the computer screen, "bring the tea from the third shelf of my cabinet. A guest is coming." The computer screen reflected Gu Huai's movements of unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. There was still a scab on his Adam's apple from her bite last night.
When Lin's mother pushed open the tearoom door, Gu Huai was on one knee trying on Lin Ruan's new high heels. The Green Watcher's buff wove a cognitive filter through the air, but to others, this was just an ordinary scene.
"Mr. Lin, please lift your foot." Gu Huai held Lin Ruan's heel. Even though he knew someone was coming in, without Lin Ruan's words, he still remained kneeling and leaning forward.
Lin's mother's tears fell on the tea table.
"Serve the guests tea," she said.
Gu Huai stood up, slowly took off his gloves, and washed his hands carefully. Then he began to make tea.
"This is Shifeng Longjing tea from Mingqian." Gu Huai pushed the teacup to the Lin couple.
"Then tell me, you two have disturbed me so many times that you even came here. What's going on?"
Lin Ruan asked politely.
"Miss Lin, we, we don't have any other intentions. We just... we just want to see how you are doing." Father Lin said hesitantly.
The Lin family is not a poor family, and Lin's father is also a small leader in a company. However, when facing Lin Ruan, he stammered when speaking this sentence.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Lin, I understand how you feel," Lin Ruan said softly, "But even if I can't bear it, since you've disturbed me so many times, I have to tell you that I'm not your biological daughter."
"This is impossible!"
Lin Ruan took out her cell phone and found the electronic version of the paternity test results to show her father and mother. The time was not long after she got married.
This is of course not true, but Lin Ruan asked the system to forge it.
"This is impossible, impossible!" Lin's father and mother seemed stupid and could only repeat this sentence.
"If you don't believe me, you can retest it." After saying that, Lin Ruan pulled a few hairs with follicles from her head, put them in a paper bag and handed it to Lin's parents. "I only provide it, I will not participate in it."
Having said that, Lin Ruan told the system in his mind to change the result.
Of course the original owner was the biological daughter of Lin's father and mother, but the original owner did not recognize her, and she did not recognize her either.
As the couple stumbled away, Gu Huai suddenly leaned over, brushed the tip of his tongue across Lin Ruan's wrist, and then kissed her gently before saying, "Do we need to keep an eye on them and arrange for the identification results?"
Lin Ruan twisted her wrist around Gu Huai's hair, forcing him to raise his head. She smiled softly and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"
"Of course I believe in Mr. Lin."
"Snapped!"
Lin Ruan slapped Gu Huai in the face. She didn't hold back her strength, and his cheeks turned slightly red in a short while.
"rhetoric."
Lin Ruan smiled.
Gu Huai also smiled.
The dusk shone through the blinds, twisting the two people's shadows into a knot. Lin Ruan pressed the man down on the tea table. Gu Huai's tie was tied over his eyes in another way, and his hands were clearly not bound at all, but they were still folded together obediently - even though the supine position made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The vines of Green Watcher spread across the entire floor, and employees passing by would only see the female president working diligently and the assistant organizing documents.
"Why don't you want them?" the system suddenly asked.
"Dog Seventeen, you were born at this time. Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"
Lin Ruan tore open Gu Huai's shirt and bit the skin under his collarbone.
"Parents who have raised someone else's daughter..." The jade bracelet Shen's mother gave her clattered against the tea table. "It's like a used tea whisk, you can no longer make the same original cup of tea."
"I do not want."
