1083: Chapter 1083: The New Boss 1083: Chapter 1083: The New Boss At Li Shi’s introduction, Gu Fan and his company t several business-savvy bosses and saw a return on their investnts, allowing the company to overco its crisis.
Boss Ding and Du Jun were delighted, and according to their agreent, they gave Li Shi so minor shares and also hoped she could provide more connections.
Gu Fan watched as Boss Ding warmly greeted Li Shi, feeling as if a hungry wolf had set its eyes on delicious prey, which was truly disconcerting.
Eventually, overwheld by Boss Ding’s enthusiasm, Li Shi found an excuse to head back and said her goodbyes, but the enthusiastic Boss Ding insisted on escorting her to the elevator.
Gu Fan couldn’t help but lant that Li Shi, who hadn’t been a financial journalist for long, had already built a significant network; he guessed she must have diligently studied the market regularly.
Du Jun approached Gu Fan and gave him a peculiar look, making Gu Fan quite uncomfortable, so he asked, “Buddy, why are you staring at like that?”
With a slight smile, Du Jun said, “I really didn’t expect that, in a crucial mont, Gu Fan, you really could find a way out for us.
Not only is this female classmate capable, but she’s as beautiful as Lin Xi and in no way inferior to her.
Importantly, you knew her before you t Lin Xi.”
“Alright, alright, big brother, please don’t say anything more; she’s nowhere close to Lin Xi,” Gu Fan hurriedly stopped Du Jun, knowing that letting him continue would bring trouble.
Du Jun feigned confusion, “Does Lin Xi know about this female classmate who ca to help you?”
Gu Fan gave a bitter smile, “Big brother, whether Lin Xi knows or not isn’t important, what matters is that she ca to help us, we should cherish this partnership, we really should.”
Seeing how Gu Fan emphasized his point, it seed like he was reminding Du Jun to appreciate the good intentions.
Du Jun imdiately responded, “Rest assured, I can tell that it’s purely a professional relationship, nothing ssy.”
“Good to know,” Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and then advised Du Jun to keep quiet about Li Shi, even to Qin Jia.
Speaking of Qin Jia, Du Jun recalled sothing, “Gu Fan, about the heirloom you took from Qin Jia’s place, when do you plan on returning it?”
Gu Fan said, “Return it?
Who handed it down and what was it used for, you’re better than anyone at knowing its negative consequences.
Keeping it with Qin Jia would only bring her trouble.”
Hearing this, Du Jun sneered, “All said and done, you just don’t plan on returning it, do you?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to take it back,” Gu Fan scratched his head, looking sowhat troubled.
Just then, a news broadcast ca on TV announcing that the world’s largest X Fund had entered the city and would officially start its financial operations from tomorrow.
Gu Fan was captured by this news; he knew about X Fund, Boss Lei had collaborated with X Fund to qualify as an international speculator.
Considering Boss Lei’s influence, he still needed to curry favor with others, which indicated the vast influence of X Fund, and Gu Fan felt that X Fund’s arrival in the city spelled trouble.
Between X Fund, the X Family, and Organization X, Gu Fan sensed a connection, so he sent a ssage to Helen, but waited a long ti without any reply.
“I hope I’m just overthinking this,” Gu Fan felt uneasy, thinking that everything should have ended and that Organization X had no reason to cause trouble in the city.
He hoped that peaceful days could continue.

An hour later, Li Shi returned to her company and noticed that many people looked disturbed and the atmosphere was sowhat tense.
As Li Shi was wondering what was happening, a foreign face walked out of the conference room, grabbing her attention.
She then asked another colleague what was going on.
The colleague told Li Shi that those foreigners were associated with X Fund and had co here to acquire her company, valuing the company’s many years of market research and analysis, with an offer that highly tempted the boss.
“No way, our company is being acquired?” Li Shi was shocked, aware that her company was top-notch in the financial dia sector, not rely reporting news but also making accurate market predictions.
Many large companies had attempted to acquire them before, but all were rejected.
Li Shi couldn’t imagine the price these foreigners had offered.
At that mont, a leader approached Li Shi, requesting her to imdiately write an article on the impact of X Fund’s entry into the city on the financial sector over the next ten years.
“You’ve got to be kidding , put to use so quickly.” Although Li Shi was emotionally affected, she complied.
In the financial market, it’s all about managing money and influencing market sentints.
A diocre company that releases good news gets positive views, and its stock might double in a few days.
The massive funds of X Fund coupled with the influence of this financial dia company ant they had two sharp swords in their hands, directly targeting this city.
As Li Shi wrote the article, she worried about the city.
The essence of finance should be to inject capital into potentially developing companies to advance the economy and grow societal wealth.
The nature of finance has degraded into a sche where people capitalize various justifications and strategies to drive up asset prices, then sell off and loot local wealth before departing, leaving nothing but ss behind after a false prosperity.
Li Shi believed that X Fund’s purpose for coming to this city was the sa, so in her article, she wrote that X Fund’s arrival was due to recognizing the city’s developnt, which would undoubtedly bring better financial investnt opportunities.
The stocks of the city’s cornerstone public companies would surely soar.
While writing, Li Shi thought of sothing and imdiately started researching the presence of X Fund globally, hoping to find a pattern, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find anything suspicious.
In only a short ti, Li Shi completed the draft and took it to her boss, who was very satisfied.
He even showed it to a person nad Haywes and, judging by the behavior, this Haywes seed likely to beco Li Shi’s new boss.
“Very good, just polish it a bit more, then publish it,” Haywes appreciated Li Shi’s work efficiency and the content she produced, his look at Li Shi conveying not only approval but another, deeper aning.
