After a while, Tang Xiaofeng and Li Yuru processed this shocking revelation.
After all, so many company employees had come to celebrate Qin Qin's birthday before, which indicates that Ye Cheng really owns a company.
Tang Xiaofeng ceased discussing the live broadcast company and instead inquired, "Brother Cheng, is it true that we can't re-enter the stock market until the end of the year?"
In March, he completely cleared out the warehouse.
Considering he had a job and was relatively busy, short-term trading wasn't feasible.
He realized it was a very prudent decision to heed Ye Cheng's advice; otherwise, he would certainly have incurred significant losses by now.
"When the market drops to about 2,400 points, you can initiate a position," Ye Cheng stated in his assessment.
Tang Xiaofeng nodded. Although he didn't grasp the basis of Ye Cheng's judgment, he was increasingly inclined to trust him.
He speculated that Ye Cheng might have amassed his wealth, purchased a house and a car, and launched a company primarily through the stock market.
At noon, Ye Cheng treated everyone to a meal at a nearby upscale restaurant.
Given that his wife was currently pregnant, it wasn't convenient to host the celebration at home.
Regarding cooking, Ye Cheng admitted to lacking skills; hence, the outcome wouldn't be appetizing.
Once they had eaten and imbibed their fill and had just returned home, Ye Cheng's father sent a video message.
"Grandma and grandpa almost forgot Qinqin's birthday," his father chuckled. "Qinqin, happy birthday."
"Thank you, grandpa. Thank you, grandma." Qinqin held the phone.
On the screen, Ye He, her elder brother, and sister-in-law Xu 053 Yi appeared, extending their birthday wishes to Qin Qin.
Qinqin also expressed her gratitude sweetly, exhibiting a mature demeanor beyond her years. Her conversational style sometimes elicited laughter.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuanyuan's phone also rang, with her mother-in-law initiating a video call.
Qinqin promptly announced, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and auntie, Qinqin will pick up grandma's video message. Bye..."
With that, she waved her hand, handed the phone to Ye Cheng, and dashed to Lin Yuanyuan, warmly greeting the grandparents in the video.
Ye Cheng engaged in a brief conversation with his parents before ending the video call.
Meanwhile, Qin Qin was chatting with her uncle Lin Xuanyu on the other end.
"Uncle, when are you coming to Pengcheng?" Qinqin asked while holding the phone.
"I'll come after a while, Qin Qin. What kind of toys do you like? My uncle will buy them for you," Lin Xuanyu laughed.
"Uncle, I want a big plane," Qinqin said quickly.
"Okay, okay, uncle will buy you a big plane," Lin Xuanyu said.
"Uncle, the big plane I said can carry people, so I can take it and go to my grandparents' house every day," Qinqin said.
Lin Xuanyu was immediately stunned. A real big plane. I can't afford to buy him. But my brother-in-law should have this ability.
"Khan, Qinqin, this big plane is very expensive. If you want your parents to buy it, your uncle can't afford it," Lin Xuanyu said with shame.
"Oh, well, I'll let Mom and Dad buy a big plane." Qinqin tilted her head and nodded forcefully, then ran to Ye Cheng's side and said coquettishly, "Dad, is it okay for our family to buy a big plane?"
"Okay, Dad will definitely buy a big plane for Qinqin in the future," Ye Cheng said, touching Qinqin's little head dotingly.
With his financial resources, there is no problem buying a private jet. After all, he had plenty of cash on hand. But now is not the time. Because airplanes are consumables, their value will decrease over time. What Ye Cheng needs now is to increase his wealth. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to increase wealth by hoarding houses. After all, many cities have restricted purchases. Where there are no restrictions on purchases, the increase is also very limited, so Ye Cheng doesn't bother to bother.
In a blink of an eye, it was August 17th.
Friday.
This day is also known as the Qixi Festival, also called People's Day.
Ye Cheng had ordered 999 roses at a flower shop early in the morning and also ordered a large diamond ring from a high-end jewelry store in advance.
All this was hidden from Lin Yuanyuan.
In the past, when the Qixi Festival was celebrated, a single rose and shopping for street clothes were not sufficient ceremonies.
This time, Ye Cheng brought Lin Yuanyuan to a very stylish Western restaurant ahead of time, in a separate room.
As romantic music played, Lin Yuanyuan seemed to realize something.
She felt a strong sense of surprise because it was something she had never thought of before.
When the waiter in a tuxedo brought a large bouquet of roses over, Lin Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes sparkled, full of love for Ye Cheng.
"Husband, thank you," she said emotionally as she smelled the mesmerizing fragrance of the rose bouquet. A blush appeared on her pretty face.
"Wife, over the years, you have followed me and endured a lot," Ye Cheng said, "and I've never had the opportunity to give you a beautiful and romantic celebration on People's Day. I hope this time I can make up for it."
Ye Cheng gently held his wife's soft and slender hand. "I, Ye Cheng, swear here that I will only love you and have only you in my life."
Lin Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes were almost brimming with tears. It was the best love declaration she had ever heard from Ye Cheng.
"Husband, me too," Lin Yuanyuan whispered softly, her pretty face radiating happiness.
In fact, in her heart, she sometimes couldn't help but worry that once her husband became rich again, he might do something to hurt her. In the world of wealth, there are too many temptations outside. With such an excellent husband, beautiful women outside will inevitably be attracted. There are too many examples of infidelity. Although she knew that Ye Cheng loved her very much, as Ye Cheng made more and more money, she still harbored some worries.
But now she knew her husband's true intentions.
Ye Cheng took out a box, opened it gently, and revealed a sparkling diamond ring. The large diamond atop it showcased the preciousness of the ring. Ye Cheng had spent more than three million custom-making it months in advance. The purpose was to put it on his wife's finger on this Qixi People's Day.
Ye Cheng gently supported his wife's delicate hand and then carefully placed the diamond ring on her finger.
The exquisite and luxurious diamond ring fit perfectly on Lin Yuanyuan's slender finger.
"Wife, do you like it?" Ye Cheng asked.
"As long as it's from you, I love it," Lin Yuanyuan replied, her beautiful eyes glowing with sweetness.
The stylish western meal took more than an hour to finish, and finally, the two walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.
A waiter emerged from the restaurant carrying a large bunch of roses and placed them in the trunk of the car.
Ye Cheng tipped the waiter 1,000 yuan before driving his wife away from the restaurant.
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, at Burna Films' luxurious and spacious office, Yu Chun was on the phone.
"What? Li Chushang, you must help me with this task. Burna Films has invested a lot of time in this project," Yu Chun said.
"I understand that there is tough competition, but Burna Films is strong enough to execute this theme exceptionally well," he continued.
"His Friendship Films has applied for numerous big projects this year. Even if they want to compete, this isn't the right way to do it," Yu Chun urged.
"Director Li, please assist me with this issue, and I will explore other options on my end," he added.
"Alright, thank you," Yu Chun said before ending the call, his frustration evident.
Originally, the project application process was smooth, and with Burna Films' strength, winning seemed highly probable. However, Friendship Films' intervention complicated matters. As a company with a stronger foundation, they posed a significant challenge.
Yu Chun pondered the situation for a while, his mind racing for solutions. Despite his efforts, securing Friendship Pictures seemed daunting.
"I wonder if Brother Ye has any insights," Yu Chun thought. Recalling Ye Cheng's remarkable influence, he contemplated reaching out for assistance.
So he dialed Ye Cheng's number.
