Shanghai's most upscale villa district, where the housing prices are comparable to the price of gold, starting at hundred thousand per square meter and often having no market price, symbolizes status. Only the top echelon with a net worth of over ten billion could afford a property here, and the Du Family owns not just one but a whole cluster of villas, enclosed by high walls that made it impossible for ordinary people to enter.
Inside the main residence, Du Yu stood to one side, watching his father Du Qingsong and his uncle Du Qingshui report the recent financial status to the family head, Du Qingshan.
"Since the scandal broke out, our main business, cosmetics and beauty, has suffered continuous setbacks. As of today, our market value has evaporated by more than half. The most infuriating thing is, someone has been secretly buying our stock while the price plummeted!" Du Qingsong said with a worried expression.
