Free Web NovelChapter 141: Celebrity / 2.7 : Bad investment
Yishang was tapping her feet on the ground until she lost patience and stood up. She walked to the receptionist and yelled:
"I was told the director of the bank would see me in a couple of minutes but I’ve been waiting for more than an hour. Do you even know who I am? I’m Lan Yishang! I’ve invested millions using this bank’s brokerage company. The only reason you have a job is because of me!"
The girl looked at her in fear and grabbed her cellphone calling the director again. She gets that the director doesn’t dare to face her but she shouldn’t either she’s just a receptionist here. When she heard the director tell her to guide her to his office she let out a relieved breath. She hung up and said
"Please follow me."
Yishang looked at her back in disdain as she followed. She entered the director’s office and took a seat. She looked at him angrily and asked:
"Do you know how long I’ve been waiting here? Have you forgotten that I’ve made your bank and brokerage firms millions?"
The director looked at her uneasy and said:
"I know that and you know how the stock market is. One day you can earn or lose it all."
Yishang said impatiently:
"I’m not here to talk about my investments I want to know why all my bank accounts are empty and you gave the order to destroy all my credit cards. Make sure you transfer money to the main bank account I share with Dawei and give us new credit cards."
Usually, when she would make an appointment he would see her right away but she had to wait a couple of days already she is officially out of patience. The director coughed and said:
"I can’t do that your last investment wasn’t fruitful."
Yishang said:
"I don’t care if you only transfer a few million for now I just need money."
"You don’t understand, all the money you asked us to invest is gone. I don’t know where you received that tip but you lost it all. I told you it was a bad idea but you insisted to go all in."
Yishang looked at him confused and asked:
"What are you talking about? I’ve never asked you to invest all my money. Do you think I’m an idiot?"
If she did that kind of reckless move she would have lost everything the second her husband died.
When he passed he left her a lot of money and she listened to a friend of hers to make sure she and Dawei would be okay until they die. He told her to never go all in no matter what any stockbroker firm tells her so she followed his advice and every year she makes millions. She would never do anything to jeopardize the luxurious life she lives.
The director turned the computer and showed her the mail she sent her yesterday at five pm. Yishang looked at the screen wide-eyed and looked at the director. She asked incredulously:
"You wouldn’t be stupid enough to do this right?"
Even if she knew it was already done she couldn’t believe someone would be stupid enough to follow her words. Not only was it a huge risk but the investment lasted only six hours.
The price of stocks doesn’t change that much in such a small amount of time even she knows that. The director said with cold eyes:
"You’re the one who ordered us to do it and it wouldn’t be the first time you gave us a tip from some friend. We tried to dissuade you but you refused, you’re responsible for this not us. Leave my office or I’ll have security escort you out." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Yishang froze in shock, all the money she amassed over the years was enough for ten lifetimes but now it’s all gone. She didn’t do this, she isn’t the one who sent the email. One of the maids or someone from the staff must’ve used her computer without her knowledge. Even if she finds the culprit she’ll never be able to get all her money back. Just the maintenance of her mansion, the huge garden, the pool, and the servant’s house cost millions.
Yishang started to hyperventilate and the director gave a sign to someone and she was escorted out. When she was outside she entered the car with difficulty crying. What is she going to say to Dawei? He wanted her to hire a water army to trash Atlas but now she can’t do that. And she knows how Dawei is he won’t want to move or live somewhere smaller until she founds a way.
She took a deep breath to calm down and looked at her cellphone when she received a notification. It was a reminder from Yinglun not to miss her Christmas dinner. She looked down thinking, she can ask her to lend her money and make sure the brokerage firm makes the right investment this time. She’s her best friend she’ll help her she’s sure of it.
She won’t say anything to Dawei for now and sell a few pieces of jewelry to keep things going the way they are a little longer. She’ll use her as the last option she thinks that Atlas will land her money if she asks. Having a plan Yishang finally calmed down.
Atlas knocked, when he heard enter he came in and closed the door behind him. He took a seat and smiled at Sicheng. Sicheng asked with a smile:
"Hey, how are you?"
"I’m okay."
"How’s your first week of shooting been?"
"It’s been great everyone is nice, I’m not used to it."
Sicheng felt uncomfortable hearing that, if Atlas was a diva and he wouldn’t bring any money into his previous agency he would get it but it’s the opposite.
"I’m glad it’s going well. Did you need my help with something?"
Atlas looked at Sicheng slightly uncomfortable and asked:
"I’ve written a song and I was wondering if you could listen to it Thursday when I’m done with the arrangements?"
SIcheng reminded:
"Thursday is Christmas the office will be closed."
When Atlas looked down upset he asked:
"What’s wrong?"
Atlas looked up with a forced smile and said:
"Nothing. Do you think you could give me the keys so I can use the studio anyway?"
Sicheng frowned.
"Wouldnt you prefer to spend Christmas with your fam..."
When Sicheng realized what he had said he looked at Atlas worried. He was still looking down his hands tightened into fists. SIcheng cursed inwardly, he is such an idiot. He stood up and took a seat next to him. Even when he put a hand on Atlas’ shoulder he didn’t look up.
He asked:
"Are you sure you want to spend the day in the studio? I wanted you to come to my house for dinner."
Atlas looked up and asked:
"You did?"
Sicheng nodded with a gentle smile.
"I did, I want you to meet my wife and friends. Will you?"
When Atlas nodded Sicheng smiled. He said:
"You could play your song for everyone then what do you think?"
Atlas nodded again. Atlas felt stunned when Sicheng pulled him in his arms. His heartbeat quickened and held him. When Sicheng pulled back he stood up and left avoiding his eyes.
He walked to his studio and locked himself there. He closed his eyes a few seconds hoping all those tumultuous emotions would leave him but even when he opened his eyes he still felt the same.
*Eden?*
*I’m here is everything okay?*
*Can you..?*
Atlas felt unable to finish the question. He’s not the type of person who needs emotional support, or otherwise. More like he’s used to not having it. He always deals with everything on his own, he’s the forgotten one. When Eden appeared he pushed a chair so he could. Eden asked worriedly:
"What happened?"
When Atlas just bit his bottom lip he asked:
"Can I look into your mind?"
Atlas nodded and Eden put two fingers on each temple and closed his eyes. When he received all the information he felt bad for Atlas. For him the hardest part was to form a connexion with someone else, someone he could spend the rest of his life with but for Atlas, it seems like it’s with parent figures.
He could feel how torn he was, he only started to use Sicheng to get revenge on his horrible birth mother but he didn’t think he could come to care for his father. He had nothing to do with her and what she did but it doesn’t change the fact that he is using him to save her. No matter how good of a person he is he’s been lying to him since they met to get his kidney.
But Sicheng truly cares for Atlas. Eden said:
"I think that you should go through with your plan and in the end, if your father wants to have a relationship with you good, if he doesn’t then it would just mean he wasn’t in your life for a reason."
Atlas looked at Eden and said:
"You’ve seen my mind even my parents never showed that much interest in me. I’m just worried I might do something drastic if he rejects me in the end."
Eden simply said:
"If you feel he deserves to die in the end then kill him."
Atlas looked into Eden’s eyes and nodded. He smiled when Eden asked:
"When are you going to stop messing with Shuyuan."
He smiled maliciously.
"Soon."
