​​Although Xingzhou’s stock price fell on the opening day, it rose a bit at the closing. The overall decline did not exceed 3%, which was completely within Qu Moyu’s expectations.

But the real crisis is just beginning.

Within a few days, someone anonymously broke the news in the largest financial forum in China. Chuanghai put the most valuable prospecting and mining qualifications in the group into a wholly-owned subsidiary and announced to shareholders that it would take one of the mines. Going out to operate independently is actually to separate debts and facilitate the merger with Xingzhou as soon as possible. This may cause a huge risk, that is, through a series of legal and financial means, Xingzhou will hollow out the high-quality assets of Chuanghai, leaving behind a mess of liabilities. All shareholders will bear the consequences.

The analysis of this post is very detailed. At first glance, it was written by someone who knew the inside story and there should be someone important behind it. It spread all over the Internet in a very short time and the stock price of Xingzhou plummeted by 7% the next day.

Qu Moyu’s lawyer had contacted Shen Dai the day before, and made an appointment to go to the notary office and the tax department on Friday to go through some procedures. After this happened, he contacted him for another day. Shen Dai realised that this matter should be serious. He sent a message to Qu Moyu to ask but Qu Moyu did not reply.

That night, Qu Moyu returned home reek of alcohol. Although he was not drunk, he did not drink less depending on his state.

Shen Dai helped him take off his clothes and prepared the hangover medicine while he was taking a bath.

Qu Moyu came out wrapped in a bath towel in a daze. He wiped it sloppily, his strong chest was covered with water stains and his hair was dripping wet.

Shen Dai knew he was tired.

Shen Dai walked over with a towel and gently wiped the water on his body: “Why didn’t you wipe yourself dry? The weather’s not so warm anymore.”

Qu Moyu stretched his arms and hugged Shen Dai’s thin waist. He put his face on his chest, closed his eyes and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

“You must be tired.” Shen Dai wiped his wet hair again and said softly, “Today seems to be a very bad day. Fortunately, it will be over soon.”

Qu Moyu muttered: “Tomorrow may be worse.”

“What happened today is out of your expectation and you are caught off guard. But if you handle it well, tomorrow will be better than today.”

Qu Moyu raised his head and looked at Shen Dai without blinking. His hard chin was against his ribs. It actually hurt a little, but that pain couldn’t take Shen Dai’s attention away. The blank eyes attracted him. Alcohol made this usually firm and stern man become a little dull. His dilated pupils were like a vast galaxy, losing focus but showing a broken beauty. Most importantly, he was looking up. Qu Moyu, an S-class alpha who is always looking down on others, is showing some kind of a special trust and dependence on himself at this moment. It is almost like… like a child.

Shen Dai’s heart was surging, but he maintained absolute composure. This is because he knew that people who are in chaos and confusion needed a firm consolation from those close to them.

Qu Moyu said slowly, “It turns out that you are quite good at comforting people.”

Shen Dai smiled: “What I said is true. I believe in you.”

Qu Moyu also smiled: “The longer I stay with you, the more I think you have surprises worth exploring.”

“Then do you want to know more about me?” Shen Dai bent down, held Qu Moyu’s face and kissed his forehead.

“I want to.”

“I’m right here.” Shen Dai’s hand went around the back of Qu Moyu’s neck, tentatively using his index and middle fingers to gently and inadvertently stick to his glands, and at the same time his heart beats like a drum. The gland is an extremely important and sensitive part for alphas and omegas. Although it is not as private as the sex organs, only close family members, lovers and friends can touch it. The difference is that omega’s exposed glands represent trust and obedience, while for S-class alphas, glands symbolise power and strength, and they cannot be molested. If Qu Moyu can accept that he touches his glands, that would already mean a lot.

Sure enough, Qu Moyu’s body froze. Even though his brain was paralyzed by alcohol, he still instinctively sensed the strange touch from the back of his neck, which was different from a hug around his neck. Below the hairline, in between the skull and the torso, under that flat skin hides one of his most vital parts.

After getting feedback from Qu Moyu’s body, Shen Dai also raised his hand as if he was burned, pretending to be unintentional, and he said, “Have you taken the hangover medicine? I’ll go get a hair dryer and blow your hair.”

“Okay.”

Shen Dai took the hair dryer and stood in front of Qu Moyu to blow his hair. Qu Moyu was mischievous when he received the service. He used two strong thighs to clamp Shen Dai’s legs, and then he got his hands into Shen Dai’s clothes. He groped around in his clothes and deliberately threw the water from his hair onto Shen Dai’s face.

Shen Dai finally finished blowing, and as soon as he put down the hairdryer, he was picked up by Qu Moyu and thrown onto the bed.

The energy of an S-class alpha is really too high. It seems that sex is not a matter of physical strength, but a relaxing entertainment. At least in the daily sex when the omega is not in heat, Shen Dai didn’t have the say in how many times to do it, how long to do it, and how to deal with Qu Mo Yu’s physical strength. Shen Dai’s physical strength always couldn’t match his.

This time, however, it was restrained. Qu Moyu hugged Shen Dai, who was breathing lightly, and enjoyed the peace and tenderness after sex. The two chatted about what happened today.

The revelation this time is really the person behind the incident was Qu Chengchen. It was done in order to achieve two purposes. One is to hinder the progress of the merger, and the other is to pull down the stock price.

Shen Dai doesn’t understand finance: “He also owns a lot of Xingzhou stocks. Isn’t this harming others and not benefiting himself?”

“He wants to disrupt the merger and push the group’s strategic direction to the chemical industry. Once successful, he will have more right to speak. The mining industry has been in a downturn in the past two years, and it may be difficult to improve in the next few years. Fortunately, we chose rare earth. This track can go to overseas markets, at least it is still profitable now, and it will not be half-dead like Chuanghai.”

“Other minerals are really not easy to deal with, but the demand for rare earths has never stopped. What we need most now is time.” Shen Dai talked about his work, and he was full of spirit, “Once the research and development is successful, it will get better. The cost advantage of Xingzhou will usher in a huge income.”

Qu Moyu stared at the ceiling in the dark night, and said solemnly, “Yes. My father and I both firmly believe in this. But in the past few years, the investment in research and development has been huge, coupled with the downturn in the industry, some shareholders have been shaken, and today’s stock price has plummeted. It proves that investors are also losing confidence.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Although Qu Moyu’s tone sounded calm, Shen Dai could fully imagine how much pressure he was under.

“The public opinion is handed over to the public relations. Although the impact cannot be completely eliminated, this kind of industry insider that most people can’t understand will not have any lasting popularity. And it is not as much discussion as arranging the posting of my gossip online. The person who was involved has also been found out, and the next step will be to sue him for spreading rumours.”

“So you know that someone is gossiping about you online?” Shen Dai wanted to laugh.

“Those people are really boring.” Qu Moyu frowned, “The most important thing now is to push the merger case to be completed as soon as possible. Has lawyer Chen contacted you?”

“I had an appointment with him, but today I was told it was delayed.”

“Well, I will communicate with him tomorrow. The more if this is the case, the more decisive we must be. This is to avoid any relapse over You Xinghai. It is impossible for Qu Chengchen not to be involved in You Xinghai’s business. Maybe soon he will meet Xiao Yue and they will really get married.”

Listening to these people taking marriage as a bargaining chip so easily, Shen Dai felt uncomfortable, he said, “I will cooperate fully.”

“Why am I hungry again…?” Qu Moyu muttered, “Ah Dai, go get me something to eat. I’m so hungry that I can’t sleep.”

“Okay, I’ll cook a bowl of noodles for you.”

Shen Dai went downstairs, preparing to cook a simple noodle soup for Qu Moyu for one night. While he was busy, Aunt Lan came to the kitchen wrapped in a nightgown.

Shen Dai said apologetically, “Aunt Lan, I’m sorry. Did I wake you?” Aunt Lan’s room was the closest to the kitchen. Perhaps the sound was loud when he closed the freezer’s door just now.

“It’s alright. I’m a light sleeper. Why are you…- is the young master hungry?”

“Yeah, he said he was too hungry to fall asleep.”

“Let me help you.”

“No, you can go to sleep. I’m just cooking noodles. It’ll be fast.”

Aunt Lan leaned against the counter and looked at Shen Dai with a smile: “Look at the two of you. Now you look more like a young couple.”

Shen Dai couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hey, the young master is lying down and complaining he is hungry.” Aunt Lan suddenly became puzzled, “The young master usually seldom eats late-night snacks, and he won’t get up to eat after falling asleep, unless he is very hungry.”

“Maybe he didn’t eat much at the meeting at night.”

Aunt Lan thought for a moment: “Either he didn’t eat a few bites at there, or I’m afraid his susceptible period is coming soon.”

Shen Dai’s hand stirring the noodles paused. He didn’t think in this direction at all, but what Aunt Lan said really surprised him.

Although the susceptible period of alpha normally occurs in spring and summer, the brain is also dominated by the instinct of copulation and reproduction. It is very different from the omega’s estrus period. For example, on the eve of the susceptible period, alpha’s food intake will increase. The more food they eat, the more they need to reserve a lot of physical energy and calories to cope with the predicament that they may not be able to go out to hunt during the susceptible period. Of course, in modern society, there is no risk of starvation if you don’t go out to hunt. But this instinct is engraved in the genes and passed down from generation to generation.
