Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 80_1

Huang Lei had just hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. Ho Ming, who was reading documents in bed, thought she had encountered a problem. "What’s wrong?" he asked.

"The stock subscription certificates will soon be issued, and Zhang Xia asked me if I wanted to buy some for fun," she replied.

She remembered that a few years ago, she had still been interested in this matter. Over the years, as the investments in the traditional medicine base began yielding returns, Huang Lei’s need for capital had not been as pressing.

She had not thought about it much since then, and it had not been a major concern.

To her surprise, Zhang Xia still remembered and had called to ask if she wanted to join in the excitement, as she was quite optimistic about it.

Stock subscription certificates? Ho Ming had also heard people talk about them often these days, but he had no interest in them. He was concentrated on running the Medicinal Meal Workshop.

With money on hand, he would either buy shops or land, contemplating whether he could sell the medicinal meals as ready-made products. If he had more money, he would think about buying houses.

Now, he was considering whether he could buy houses in other places and was planning to expand the Medicinal Meal Workshop to other areas.

He was still evaluating these ideas and had not made a final decision. Once begun, the project would require a significant amount of capital.

"Zhang Xia thinks this is something we can do?" Ho Ming knew that in addition to representing some imported products, Zhang Xia also invested in finance.

Ho Ming had not asked how much money she had made, but he knew she had earned quite a bit.

"I think it’s worth a try," Huang Lei paused, "If most people are optimistic about it, I think it’s worth considering more carefully."

"But if quite a few people are pessimistic, I actually feel it might be a good opportunity to get in."

"We’ll check the price when the time comes; if it’s not expensive, we can invest a portion," she suggested.

Even though Huang Lei and Zhang Xia had not gone into finance after graduation, most of their classmates were still working hard in the financial industry.

Zhang Xia often made money in the financial market, and Ho Ming felt it was worth investing a bit.

"Alright, we’ll buy some when the time comes," he agreed.

"If we can make money, that’s great. If not, we’ll just buy stocks instead," he said.

Huang Lei remembered that many people bought subscription certificates just to buy stocks later, and the potential profits were substantial.

However, if possible, Huang Lei preferred to cash in directly rather than making a round in the stock market.

With stock trading, how much one earned would instantly become public knowledge. In contrast, buying and selling subscription certificates could be done without official registration, allowing for quiet wealth accumulation.

Huang Lei thought this was more appropriate, and Ho Ming agreed, so the couple made the same decision.

On the day the subscription certificates were issued, Huang Lei and Zhang Xia met up and bought a large number of them, clearing out several banks’ inventory.

After returning to their room, they divided up the subscription certificates. Huang Lei, seeing Zhang Xia’s haggard appearance, asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Xia forced a smile. "I’m fine," she said.

"Anyway, it’s just her father and son competing against each other." Zhang Xia was glad that after the so-called separation, she had completely moved on.

Even with her child’s father, there was favoritism, "Studying abroad cost quite a lot of money."

"The education abroad was a mess, and she barely managed to get her diploma."

"First, she went to Harbor City to start some financial company, talking about having insider information and all, but she didn’t do as well as my casual efforts."

"She practically wasted all the foundation that was divided to him and the investments by the old man on Huo Huo."

"Now she has given up, realizing she’s not cut out for finance and is planning to join her father’s company."

Zhang Xia bit her lip, "I thought, at least despite the favoritism, there would still be fatherly love."

"I’m really worried now that his company in his name is pandering to his precious son, Huo Huo. I hope it doesn’t mean losing all our family assets."

"Even if we lose the family assets, it doesn’t matter." Zhang Xia had already given up on the idea of relying on a man.

"I’ve decided to get a divorce. I want nothing to do with the properties in his name; the child’s custody will be mine."

Zhang Xia made up her mind after receiving a message from her nanny just now.

"I support you." Huang Lei knew how tough these years had been for Zhang Xia, always busy with various things outside, taking care of the child and all.

Her own business had developed rapidly and had seen swift growth over these years.

"Right, the subscription certificate, you help me keep it." Zhang Xia thought it over and decided to let Huang Lei keep it for her.

Huang Lei looked at the subscription certificate pushed towards her, "Are you worried?" That she would become so destitute that she would covet these things.

"Some things still require extra preparation."

"I just found out that guy received some so-called tip and, without his old man knowing, pulled out some funds to speculate in futures in Harbor City."

"Though I don’t know which project he’s invested in, and he may make some money, I don’t trust that kid."

"If he fails this time, he will have to be humble for a while, but if he succeeds, that kid will definitely become more arrogant."

"It will only drag his family into the pit of fire." It wasn’t her own son, so Zhang Xia absolutely wouldn’t invest her hard-earned efforts of these years into it.

"If you need me, just tell me." Huang Lei didn’t ask if Zhang Xia was sure she could successfully divorce.

"Okay, if I get divorced, I plan to take the child back to Capital City." Zhang Xia had been living in The South all these years.

She didn’t quite agree with the environment there, and in Capital City, she had her best friend.

"That would be great."

"Let’s be neighbors." Huang Lei was quite happy; even if they became neighbors and didn’t see each other that often, at least they could occasionally meetup for a drink and a song.

"Your family?" When Zhang Xia got married, the Zhang Family was strongly opposed. Now that they knew she wanted a divorce, it was anyone’s guess how thrilled they might be.

"I haven’t told them yet, I’ll sort things out first." For many women, their family is their backup, and they would turn to them when facing marital issues.

But for Zhang Xia, that was not the case, "Even if I tell them, they would just nag, saying I was crazy to begin with."

"Also, I no sooner get divorced when they’d probably, under the pretense of looking out for me, start introducing me to potential suitors."

"After this divorce, I have completely given up on the idea of marriage." Zhang Xia had thought that the man who pursued her for so long was quite ambitious.

He had also promised that he’d never let her suffer, but the reality after marriage showed that he simply couldn’t do it.

Whenever his darling son faced a problem, no matter how trivial, it was treated as a major crisis.

Even the affairs of the former Yue family were deemed more important than her young son’s health, "At least with this marriage, I have my son."

Zhang Xia thought of her son, who would sweetly smile at her, and felt that the marriage wasn’t all that bad; there were indeed some good aspects.

"Without my son, I don’t dare imagine how they would scheme for my money."

Zhang Xia, drinking, poured out all of the unhappy events she had encountered in her marriage.

"Really, Huang Lei, I’m so envious and jealous of you; you found such a great man in Ho Ming."

"No, it’s not just me. Many are envious and jealous of you."
