Chapter 343 Newlyweds and Disasters
After a night of pleasure, Xie Jingxing and Zhou Fenglan kissed each other goodbye the next day and returned to the Magic City to welcome the wedding.
The family is already busy as hell, and even if he is worth hundreds of billions, he cannot avoid personally deciding what background music to use for the wedding ceremony when it comes to traditional life events.
"Yes, there are two chartered planes, one in Shanghai and one in Beijing. It's up to you to decide where to depart from. That's right, the wedding will be carried out in full accordance with the wedding appendix of the invitation. Just be on time. Honey, I can't talk to you anymore. I have to take a call."
"What, it might rain on the wedding day? No, the wedding must be held on the 23rd as scheduled and it cannot be postponed. Solving the rain problem is your problem to consider. Maybe you can knock down the rain clouds."
"Hey, who wants to play a VCR blessing video at our wedding? I don't care if they are the editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine or the legendary artistic director of Hermès. I just want to know how they knew about my wedding? Find out which wedding service provider leaked my privacy, and then what should I do?"
Yu Tong hung up the phone angrily, took a sip of water and complained in a slightly hoarse voice: "Those artists are too much. They really think that our respectful attitude is because we need something from them."
The ones who leaked the wedding news to the European and American fashion circles must be the tailors who made custom dresses and jewelry. The editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine actually thought it was okay to make the wedding public and invited the youngest newlyweds from the top 100 of Asia's richest list to shoot the cover of the magazine's monthly issue for China.
She was just looking forward to a romantic wedding like any other woman. She wasn't stupid for three years after pregnancy. How could she expose herself to the public and add to Xie Jingxing's political and business criticisms?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He looked at the dead man sitting on the sofa with a blank expression. Yu Tong crossed his arms over his chest and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you tired from working overtime last night?"
"...I blame myself. You were the only one busy with the wedding from beginning to end. I wasn't fully involved."
Xie Jingxing was so guilty that he started to talk nonsense. He raised his hand to move the camera that was in the way in front of him. The wedding photographer quietly stepped back and changed his position to continue shooting.
Yu Tong couldn't help but pout and raise his chin: "You don't belong to yourself now. There are too many people who need you to work hard. I can only try my best to do the logistics at home with my daughter so that you don't have to worry too much."
"I love you my wife."
Xie Jing Xing sniffed and was a little moved. He would have been even more moved if there was no camera.
Yu Tong couldn't tell how much of his words were from his deep feelings, and how much of his words were from not wanting to quarrel in front of outsiders and not wanting to leave any regrets in his wedding memories.
She looked like a person who had indulged in excessive sexual activities. She knew that she would leave for Maldai to take wedding photos today, but she still had no self-control last night.
But it is very likely that she was seduced by Zhou Fenglan, and that bitch Yuan Jin deliberately made her wedding disgusting.
It’s okay, I’m going to take wedding photos with my husband, what about you?
When Yu Tong thought of this, the cloudy sky suddenly turned sunny and he felt happy. He even wanted to send a WeChat message to Zhou Fenglan, wishing her a safe journey to the UK.
"Honey, let's prepare some more gifts for the lucky draw."
The wife walked up to her husband, sat on his lap and put her arms around his shoulders. The photographer diligently found the angle to record the warm and loving scene of the young couple who were about to enter the marriage hall.
Xie Jingxing's calves suddenly started to cramp and tremble.
The general process of the wedding is very complicated. First, the formal wedding will be held on the 23rd at my mother’s Maldives hotel island.
Since Xie Jingxing and Yu Tong had always socialized downward since childhood, most of their classmates and friends were not suitable to mingle with guests of similar status as close relatives of their parents, and only a few people such as Yan Wenhua attended.
The atmosphere of the whole wedding was rather serious and solemn, and the guests were very busy attending the wedding and had to leave after the banquet on the day.
So there was a second party without a wedding ceremony and just for fun. Yu Tong chartered a European cruise ship and invited their classmates and friends to celebrate and have a party.
Charter a round-trip flight for three days and two nights, invite celebrities to sing, prepare some luxurious souvenirs, and hold small activities such as raffles.
Anyway, as long as it's lively and exciting, the wedding was still too hasty and for a moment I could only think of such a tacky way to share joy.
——Yu Tong said this countless times. The souvenirs alone had been revised several times. After many twists and turns, natural amber was finally chosen as the main gift.
Xie Jingxing now had some physiological stress disorder when he heard her say that she wanted to be particular about the details, but his wife was sitting in his arms, and the camera next to him was filming non-stop...
Hmm, why doesn’t it seem like the cup has been upgraded?
Xie Jingxing rubbed his chin and suddenly thought strangely that it seemed that he had not been devoted enough recently and had wronged his first wife.
Damn it, you’re still filming without any sense!
The photographer suddenly felt the deep malice in the tiger's eyes, his hand trembled and the picture went out of focus. He quickly steady himself and silently said in his heart that the most important thing for a couple is love!
…………
On June 6th, local time, Xie Jingxing arrived in the Maldives with his wife and daughter.
It was the rainy season in that area. The southern island where the wedding ceremony took place had sunny skies, while the northern island where the wedding photos were taken was cloudy and rainy.
The weather was bad, and his wife urged him to concentrate on taking pictures, so Xie Jingxing turned off his phone and threw it in the hotel room.
The news from the other side of the ocean was isolated from the outside world. The MSCI global stock index announced that it would not include the Chinese stock market in the index for the time being. Prior to this, relevant domestic departments had been striving to join this important global stock index for a long time.
Rather than the world, it is the European and American financial capital, led by Wall Street, and the entire market that have high expectations for this.
As long as it joins MSCI, US dollar funds will flood into the domestic secondary financial market to take over, and a bull market to 5000 points is just around the corner. After all, investment banks in the primary financial market are enjoying such benefits.
Well, now European and American capital will not be the scapegoat. Who will take over the bubble bull market of up to 5000 points?
Secondly, Juntai Securities, which successfully went public the year before last, announced a plan by its major shareholder to reduce its holdings. It is just one of the thousands of major shareholders that have reduced their holdings in individual stocks this year. It is particularly eye-catching because it is the largest IPO issued stock in the past five years.
Major shareholders have been selling off their holdings and cashing out, so are they leaving retail investors to take over?
Since the official announcement of the negative news of deleveraging on Friday, two stones of varying weight have hit the market one after another. In a market where rationality is not the key and only emotions matter, 1+1=3.
On Monday, June 6, the stock market opened with the Shanghai main board falling 15% for the day, and the disaster began.
On this day, strong winds swept across the northern islands of the Maldives, and the waves roared and hit the rocks, creating foam. Xie Jingxing raised his arms high to his wife, who was smiling happily, and kissed her under the dark clouds.
On Tuesday, June 6, the stock market opened with the Shanghai main board falling 16% on the day.
The rain and wind were even worse that day. Xie Jingxing and his wife lay in the hotel room, teasing their daughter and enjoying the rain. The heavy rain was pouring down, and water was pouring down the French windows, but the room was dry and clear. On Wednesday, June 6, the weather was fine, and the newlyweds were pulled by the anxious photographers to shoot from morning to night to catch up with the progress.
On this day, the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board turned positive and stabilized, and the phone that Xie Jingxing left in the hotel was still turned off.
[Dr. Yu, I'm sorry to bother you, but the situation is extremely urgent. If you can contact Mr. Xie, please tell him for me: the stock market is in danger. I look forward to your reply!]
Back at the hotel that night, Yu Tong read out the message he received on his phone: "Vice Dean Liu from the Institute of Economics at Jiaotong University, I remember you two have a collaboration?"
"I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him."
Xie Jingxing walked out of the bathroom and wiped his hair. He walked to the French window and looked at the horizon. Dark clouds were rising again.
Yu Tong looked at his back and pursed her red lips: "Work is important."
Xie Jing Xing couldn't help but chuckle, turned back and waved, "Wife, come here."
Yu Tong silently took a few steps forward and stood side by side with him. The two of them held each other's fingers tightly and just looked at the dark clouds in the sky quietly for a long time.
"Wife, you have to stand by my side forever from now on, otherwise I will really be alone." Xie Jingxing said softly.
…………
On June 6, the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board fell 18%.
On June 6, the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board fell 19% in a single day, with thousands of stocks hitting the daily limit.
The disaster that had been brewing for days finally revealed its ugly face. At their weekly emergency meetings, relevant regulatory authorities summarized this as a necessary and acceptable price for deleveraging pain.
"The technical adjustment of stock market deleveraging has ended. Is it time to buy at the bottom? Mr. Xie, you financial circles are going to get rich again!"
On June 6, after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the stock market opened with a positive trend and rose. As the regulatory authorities summarized, the market was experiencing only a slight pain.
The wedding of Xie Jingxing and Yu Tong was held as scheduled. Cheng Wei rarely wore a suit, laughed loudly and said pleasant and auspicious words to congratulate.
"I am just keeping these wealth for society. Sooner or later I will return it to society in other forms." He shrugged and said self-deprecatingly.
Liu Qing raised her hand and patted Cheng Wei: "Are you two annoying? Who wants to listen to your business bragging? I want to see the bride!"
"The bride will come out later, please go in and take a seat first." Xie Jingxing bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation in a proper manner.
Liu Qing pretended to be surprised and leaned back: "Don't tell me, I am quite handsome today!"
"Thank you, Lady first."
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows in a coquettish manner, Liu Qing smiled jokingly and shook his head slightly as they walked towards the wedding venue. Cheng Wei followed behind to help hold up the hem of his dress, looking clumsy in a suit, like a bag-carrying boy.
A wedding that tends to be dignified and solemn is destined to be unsuitable for a Chinese-style wedding. If it is too dignified and grand, there is no need to come to the Maldives. It is not impossible to drive the wedding procession directly into the Forbidden City with ten miles of red makeup and phoenix crowns.
It may seem a bit too much, so let's try a little fusion of Chinese and Western styles and hold a Chinese-style wedding in a Western-style outdoor venue, with guests wearing suits and small dresses.
Yu Tong and Xie Jingxing each prepared corresponding Chinese and Western style formal wear.
"Hurry up and bring the cufflinks and brooch, and the watch, why are you taking so long?"
After welcoming the guests, he returned to the dressing room to change into his suit. Aunt Jie Qing was busy and chattering, and Song Anli stood cautiously by the side and couldn't help.
Yan Wenhua was dressed as a best man, standing at the door and demonstrating his unique skill of smoking a cigarette in three seconds, with cigarette butts piled around his feet.
He was nervous because he would be walking the red carpet with his good brother soon. Among the guests who were already sitting on both sides of the red carpet, he could still chat and laugh with one of them alone, but he couldn't do that with the others.
The high blood pressure made my eyes blurry.
"Let's go, it's time to go out on stage."
Xie Jing Xing held his shoulder to comfort him, and strode forward with ease. He walked around the flower wall, stepped onto the red carpet, looked around, and nodded slightly in greeting.
Cheng Wei and Liu Qing were sitting in the corner, waving slightly to say hello. Old Xie and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were sitting in the first row, looking pleased. Grandpa Yu's secretary was squatting at the side of the front row taking pictures with a small camera in his hand. He was the only photographer today.
Xie Jingxing walked across the red carpet and stopped at the lawn at the end. A whistling sound was heard above his head, and a helicopter landed steadily on time.
Yu Tong, wearing a white wedding dress, was supported by bridesmaid Yu Nian as she walked down the helicopter. She walked forward step by step with flowers in her hands. This journey took her eight years.
"Xie Jingxing, are you willing to marry Yu Tong?"
"I am willing."
"Yu Tong, are you willing to marry him?"
"I am willing!"
"The ceremony is over, and the marriage is concluded. The affection is deep, and we hope to respect each other like guests; the auspicious leaves and locusts will surely prosper in the future. With the same heart and mind, they are suitable for the family. They will be together forever, and they will be like mandarin ducks and butterflies, and their vows will be fulfilled."
The witnesses recited the blessing solemnly. When Xie Jingxing turned around inadvertently, he saw Guan Ning standing alone under the flower wall in the distance.
The corners of his mouth curved into a silent smile.
