Xu Qianghua and the ladies stayed in the study room for a few hours. During that time, Su Meiyu went out and brought in lunch. Eventually, the maids left the room to get back to work.
"Grandma Su, I'll buy you the remaining 90 terminals so everyone can be ready" Xu Qianghua said.
"Qiangqiang, I need 85 because there are 5 children who are going to leave" Grandma Su replied.
"Okay, 85 it is. I'll buy them and send them to the orphanage tomorrow" he agreed, understanding the reasons for the reduction.
They chatted about other things for about half an hour before she left to take care of other matters.
Xu Qianghua then went back to Liu Meiying's office to check for any new changes.
This time, Liu Meiying saw him coming in and asked, "Did you have a good chat with Grandma Su?"
"Yes, I did. I told her and the maids about my rebirth" Xu Qianghua said.
"Oh? And how did they react?" Liu Meiying asked.
"That's what surprised me. They didn't question or doubt what I said and accepted it calmly" he said as he lifted Liu Meiying and sat down where she had been sitting, wrapping his arms around her.
Liu Meiying closed her eyes, feeling comfortable in the embrace.
"So why did you call Grandma Su?" she asked.
"Did you know she has a group of people who are loyal to me?" he asked instead of answering her question.
"Yes, when you were born, she started searching for people who are smart, beautiful, and loyal," she nodded.
"Yeah, so I want to make sure they are ready when the change happens," he said, thinking to himself.
'Should I tell them about how the game merges after the game is released?'
'What should I do, system?' he asked internally.
[I think you can tell them after the game is launched as it would mean that there is no change in the timeline for the past life and at the same time the world's will has not noticed us yet] the system concluded.
'Has the world's will still not found us?' Xu Qianghua was surprised.
[Yes, I have not detected anything from the will of the world, which I have been monitoring. It is likely too busy perfecting the game or does not see us as a threat] the system said.
'That's good because I do not want to deal with that rule stickler' he thought with a sigh.
"What are you thinking about, Qiangqiang?" Liu Meiying asked, looking at him when he didn't say anything after finishing his sentence.
"Nothing. The stock market should close soon" he said, glancing at the time and seeing it was almost 3 pm.
"Yes, the stock price crash for the Group is still ongoing, but it will soon stop as the stock market will cut the company off so that we can no longer short-sell it. And with the way things are going, the possibility of the company being delisted is high" Liu Meiying added.
"So are you going to keep at this tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yes, after the stock market closes today, I will tell some of my trusted people to keep an eye on this and see if there are any changes. Other than that, I just have to short-sell the company until it is delisted, and because we shorted, we get all the money from this" she said with a big smile.
"Yeah" Xu Qianghua nodded, trusting the professionals since he did not know much about this part.
In his past life, Xu Qianghua studied Computer Science as a major because he had Liu Meiying to handle the company, so he just wanted to help expand the fields that the company could enter, and that's why he did not have a lot of knowledge about these matters.
As they were talking, they saw that the stock market had issued the cut-off of the Xu Group stocks. This also meant that the first incident that Xu Qianghua deemed important for him to make money had ended.
Now all he had to focus on was the second incident related to the Jiang Group and the WayFlower Group.
After that, Liu Meiying got up and stretched.
"I am going to make dinner today. What would you like?" she asked.
"Anything is fine because everything you make is delicious" he said.
"Okay, sweetie" she said as she lightly kissed his lips and left the room.
'Now what should I do?' Xu Qianghua thought as he sat there looking at the stock market page.
'Oh right, first let's order personal terminals for the orphanage.' He quickly opened up the online store, looked at the terminals, and bought the best ones available.
Each one cost around 1500 luminas, which is pretty cheap. He then bought 90 personal terminals in case extras were needed, which cost him 135,000 luminas.
Xu Qianghua then made a call to Grandma Su and told her that the terminals would be arriving soon.
"Okay, Qiangqiang. By the way, do you want me to call them and tell them to come back?" she asked but did not specify who "they" were, wanting to keep it a secret on the call and test Xu Qianghua.
"Aren't they busy right now with the missions you sent them? Anyway, I do not need them until the end of this month, but tell them that I will ask them to do something on the 21 st" Xu Qianghua said.
"Okay, then we will talk after I receive the terminals" she said, giving him a quick goodbye and disconnecting the call.
Grandma Su was talking about a group of people who, like Liu Meiying, are geniuses with their powers in this world. They are temporarily under Grandma Su, but she created this group for Xu Qianghua as a helping hand led by Liu Meiying.
They usually do not meet each other, but in his last life, after the game merged, they went into their fields and became one of the giants in them, similar to Liu Meiying.
Xu Qianghua found out about this after he learned about Shadow. That's when Grandma Su started to reveal everything that could be used at his disposal.
