Blackening starts from the golden years

Saturday morning, in the top floor apartment of Grand Hyatt.

"Yingying, what should we do?"

Guan Juer looked at Qiu Yingying beside her and said with a frown:

"Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I stayed up late last night to work on the project. I can't face anyone with such big dark circles under my eyes."

"Well, it's true."

Looking at the two dark circles under Guan Juer's eyes, Qiu Yingying said:

"How about this, you use that foundation to cover it up, and then wear a pair of sunglasses."

"Is this okay?"

"Just give it a try. I think it'll work. What else can I do?"

Looking at Guan Juer's sad face, Qiu Yingying urged her:

"Hurry up, we're about to leave."

"Okay, right away."

Having said that, Guan Juer turned around and ran back to her room.

Taking her eyes off her, Qiu Yingying walked behind the sofa. She lay on the sofa and looked at Fan Shengmei who was putting on makeup and said with a smile:
"Sister Fan, you are dressed so beautifully, what do you want to do?"

"Don't make trouble, I'm busy."

Fan Shengmei smiled as she sat on the sofa and put on her makeup in front of the makeup mirror. At this moment, she saw Qiu Yingying's outfit in the mirror, and she looked back at her and said with a smile:
"Hey little earthworm, are you planning to wear this on vacation?"

"Yeah, is there anything wrong with me wearing this?"

Qiu Yingying looked at the clothes she was wearing and said:

"I think it's pretty good."

"Haha, it's good, as long as you feel happy."

Fan Shengmei laughed.

Looking at her, Qiu Yingying was a little confused. She looked down at what she was wearing: a light green long-sleeved round-neck shirt, a long floral skirt, and white sneakers. Was there anything wrong with the way she dressed?

At this time, Guan Juer walked out of the room. She was wearing a dark blue sleeveless dress with a light blue short-sleeved suit on the outside. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. What was particularly eye-catching was that she was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Seeing her dressed like this, Qiu Yingying couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said happily:
"Guan Guan, you're really weird like this, no, let me laugh for a while, haha."

Seeing Qiu Yingying actually making fun of herself, Guan Juer rushed to her, put her hand over her mouth and said angrily:

"Don't laugh, I'm angry, I'm really angry."

"Woooo..."

Looking back at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying playing and fighting, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but shake her head slightly with envy. She turned her head back, sighed softly, and whispered:
"It's great to be young."

As she spoke, she continued to put on makeup in front of the mirror, trying her best to make herself look beautiful.

Behind her, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were still playing and fighting.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter, Guan Guan, you look like the big sister in the movie when you wear these sunglasses, haha——"

"Qiu Yingying, you're still laughing. It was you who gave me the idea."

"Really, haha——"

"You are not allowed to laugh. I am angry. I am really angry."

"You made me laugh for a while, haha, I couldn't help it, haha——"

"You're still laughing. I'll make you laugh to death."

"I can't hold on any longer, haha——"

At this time, Yuan Xudong walked down the stairs from upstairs and saw Qiu Yingying laughing. He couldn't help but smile and asked:

"Yingying, what are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong coming down from upstairs, Qiu Yingying immediately greeted him and said with a smile:

"I'm laughing at Guan Guan. She stayed up late last night to write a proposal. As a result, the dark circles under her eyes are darker than Kung Fu Panda's. Haha——"

Seeing Qiu Yingying smiling so happily, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile as well. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming a very beautiful arc.

Looking at him, Qiu Yingying continued:

"I gave her an idea, and she..."

At this time, Yuan Xudong came down from upstairs. Guan Juer looked at him in a trance. Her eyes were obsessed and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. It was obvious that she was infatuated with him.

In Guan Juer's eyes, Yuan Xudong was extremely handsome at this moment, just like the nobleman on TV, handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world. In short, at this moment, just looking at Yuan Xudong in a casual suit, Guan Juer was obsessed. She felt that no matter what Yuan Xudong asked her to do, she would agree to him.

At this time, Yuan Xudong walked up to Guan Juer, took off the sunglasses she was wearing, looked into her eyes and smiled:

"It's okay. The dark circles under my eyes are not serious. I'm still as beautiful as ever."

Hearing this, Guan Juer woke up from her infatuation. She threw herself into Yuan Xudong's arms and said to him in a coquettish and sweet voice:

"It's so ugly, don't look at it, I don't allow you to look at it."

Seeing Guan Juer suddenly throw herself into Yuan Xudong's arms and act coquettishly with him, Qiu Yingying was stunned. Fan Shengmei next to her couldn't help rolling her eyes, secretly thinking that Guan Juer was really amazing. No wonder Yuan Xudong liked her the most. Which man wouldn't like a beautiful girl who knows how to act coquettishly?

"Okay, I won't watch it. I won't watch it."

Yuan Xudong said with a smile, and he put the sunglasses back on Guan Juer.

Half an hour later, Yuan Xudong took Guan Juer and the other two girls away from home and drove to go on vacation. He arranged a two-day vacation.

……

Drive to the pier and board a yacht to the resort island.

On the yacht, Qiu Yingying handed her phone to Guan Juer beside her and said with a smile:

"Guan Guan, you stay here, you stay here and take a picture of the sea for me."

"okay."

Guan Juer smiled and took photos of Qiu Yingying with her mobile phone.

Looking at them, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"This is not the sea, this is a reservoir."

"It's all the same. It's so beautiful here."

"Well, the rippling blue waves make people feel relaxed and happy just looking at them."

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer laughed happily. The two of them were taking photos there. Fan Shengmei had posted them on her Moments and her social media accounts. She also posted some photos with beauty filters. The background of the photos was a yacht, a rippling reservoir, a holiday villa in the distance, and Yuan Xudong, an excellent man. This greatly satisfied her vanity.

Putting away her phone, Fan Shengmei walked over to Yuan Xudong and stood beside him, looking at the reservoir in front of her and the holiday villa in the distance, and said with a smile:
"I've been in Shanghai for so many years, but this is the first time I know there are such great places in Shanghai."

Hearing this, Yuan Xudong smiled. He looked at Fan Shengmei and said with a smile:
"In fact, there are many fun places in Shanghai. I will take you to visit them one by one in the future."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Fan Shengmei smiled, she looked at Yuan Xudong beside her and whispered:

"Xudong."

"Hmm?" Yuan Xudong looked at Fan Shengmei and asked with a smile:

"what happened?"

"Thank you."

Fan Shengmei expressed her gratitude very sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Yuan Xudong asked with a smile. Looking at him, Fan Shengmei smiled and said:

"Thank you for giving me such a good life, you know? The life I have always dreamed of is like this, carefree, happy, and having someone to rely on. That person is you. Do you think I should thank you?"

"Yes, but I don't need to thank you for a great favor. Besides, as the saying goes, a little kindness is worth a lot of hatred. You won't hate me in the future, right?"

Yuan Xudong smiled.

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei leaned towards him, looked into his eyes and said:

"I, Fan Shengmei, am not that kind of person. You are my man, so it is natural for you to support me, and I am your woman, so it is only natural for me to listen to you. Therefore, I will only love you more and more, so how can I hate you?"

As she spoke, Fan Shengmei took the initiative to reach out and hug Yuan Xudong, looking up at him and smiling:

"I like you and love you."

Looking at Fan Shengmei, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He put his arm around her and said with a smile:
"Me too, remember what you say now, I love to hear it."

"okay."

Fan Shengmei smiled coquettishly.

Ten minutes later, the yacht docked and they arrived at the holiday villa. Yuan Xudong led Guan Juer and the other two girls off the yacht and began to board the island.

"Wow, the scenery here is beautiful."

Qiu Yingying smiled happily, she opened her arms, and skipped happily as she walked in front.

Looking at the quaint buildings on the island, Guan Juer smiled and exclaimed:
“The buildings here are very quaint and beautiful.”

Qiu Yingying likes the natural scenery on the island, Guan Juer likes the quaint buildings on the island, and as for Fan Shengmei, she looked at the various yachts of all sizes docked at the pier and couldn't help but sigh:
“There are so many yachts here.”

At this time, the owner of the holiday villa came towards him. Yuan Xudong greeted him and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fang, how's your business lately? Did you make a big profit again?"

"Haha, thanks to you, business has been bad recently, but I made a lot of money in the stock market."

Lao Fang said with a smile that he followed Yuan Xudong's advice and bought a few stocks, which skyrocketed by more than 50% in just one week. He was very happy.

Yuan Xudong was also very happy. He had not expected that the bull market would come so suddenly. The entire stock market soared, and he made a lot of money. Fortunately, he was not greedy. He had shorted the domestic stock market before, but he stopped in time and then went long. The news spread in the circle that a big short position was directly liquidated. During this period, there was an abnormal situation that trading could not be carried out. Many people speculated that the network cable was unplugged.

Yuan Xudong didn't know whether it was true or not, but regardless of whether it was true or not, he made money, and a lot of money at that. The overall asset increased by 30%. If only the net assets of stocks were counted, the increase was a little more than 50%. He had already sold more than half of his stock holdings and chose to lock in the profits.

In fact, the reason is very simple. It is not worth that price. Cabbage should be priced at cabbage. After a comprehensive surge in a short period of time, there will definitely be a mess in the future. Except for the stocks of a few excellent companies, all the others are garbage. Moreover, the downward pressure on the economy is very large. Yuan Xudong feels that the risks outweigh the benefits, so he reduced his stock position to half of the original.

Of course, he did not reduce his holdings in the stocks of the companies he was optimistic about, but on the contrary, he increased his holdings. In short, the stock market is risky. For ordinary people, whoever can control the risks can make money in the stock market. Overcoming human nature and controlling risks will make it possible to make stable profits.

Of course, knowing is easy but doing is difficult. Yuan Xudong was once very optimistic about the development prospects of a company, but the stock price was cut in half again and again. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this should not be the case. How could gold be so cheap?

On the contrary, the share prices of some junk stocks soared, which was against Tiangang. Finally, Yuan Xudong realized that he was not wrong, but the world was wrong. There were bad people stirring up trouble.

To get back to the point, in short, Yuan Xudong made money through the stock market. He doesn't like the word "stock speculation", he likes the word "investment". Stock speculation requires technology, without technology it is gambling. Investing is much simpler, sow seeds in spring and harvest fruits in autumn, but this requires patience and restraint of greed and fear.

After introducing Lao Fang, Guan Juer and the other two girls to each other, Lao Fang left and Yuan Xudong took Guan Juer and the others to a restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, he took them around the island. When they saw the outdoor swimming pool, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying put on their swimsuits and went swimming, while Yuan Xudong and Guan Juer sat on chairs by the pool and watched them swimming in the pool.

By the swimming pool.

Yuan Xudong held Guan Juer in his arms and sat on a chair. He looked at Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying in the swimming pool and smiled:
"Guan Guan, what do you think of your sister Fan and Yingying?"

"what?"

Nestled in Yuan Xudong's arms, Guan Juer looked up at him and asked:

"what does it mean?"

"What kind of people do you think your sister Fan and Yingying are?"

Yuan Xudong asked with a smile. He put his left hand around Guan Juer's slender and soft waist, and gently stroked her face and hair with his right hand. He smiled and said:

"Tell me about it, and I'll see if what you said is correct."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, and then at Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying who were swimming in the pool, Guan Juer thought for a moment and said:
"Yingying is actually very simple. She is usually carefree, heartless, innocent and cute. As for Sister Fan, I don't know if I should say that Sister Fan seems to like to go to places where rich people gather. I think she may be very yearning for the upper-class and extravagant life. But I don't understand, what will happen if she goes to such an event?

Although people are equal, this society is divided into classes. If you ignore the classes, you will only run into obstacles everywhere. I think that working hard and overcoming limitations is the real thing. What do you think?"

Looking at Guan Juer, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Many times, the so-called class is actually a demon in one's own heart."

"That's true, but a person must have a lot of courage to ignore these objectively existing classes. I can't do it anyway. How about you? Can you do it?"

Guan Juer looked at Yuan Xudong and asked. Yuan Xudong also looked at her and smiled and said:

"I can't do that either. Just like you said, a person must have a lot of courage to ignore these objectively existing classes. Either he is a saint or a fool. I am neither a saint nor a fool, so I can't ignore the class either."

"Then you're still saying that the so-called class is actually a demonic barrier in your own heart, is that a lie?"

Guan Juer pouted and said coquettishly.

Looking at her, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:
"You're not stupid. In fact, all the great truths are lies. Only objective things are real. So, don't easily believe what others say to you. You should carefully observe how they act. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I got it."

Guan Juer nodded, she looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:

"It's better to watch what they do than to listen to their words. For example, you say you love me, but you also love Qiu Yingying and Sister Fan. By analogy, do you also love other girls?"

"Ok?"

Looking at the smiling Guan Juer, Yuan Xudong said seriously:

"Don't accuse me, don't you know whether I love you or not?"

Guan Juer rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and hummed softly with her lips pouted:

"Humph, you're lying. I don't believe you."

Yuan Xudong smiled, hugged Guan Juer and asked:

"What about you? What kind of girl are you? Do you think you are a good girl or a bad girl?"

"Well, of course I'm a good girl."

Guan Juer smiled innocently.

"Really? You're a good girl?"

Looking at Guan Juer in his arms, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Then tell me, what's so good about you?"

"Well, I'm very well behaved, have a good personality, look OK, I can do housework, and I don't waste my boyfriend's money..."

Guan Juer smiled and counted on her fingers one by one. Seeing how cute she was, Yuan Xudong stood up with her in his arms and said with a smile:
"Let's go swimming."

"Ah."
