Chapter 89 Soaring Funds
The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.
When Gao Yuanyuan opened her eyes, her first reaction was that her whole body felt sore and weak.
She turned her head to look at her side. Fu Yibai was still asleep, breathing evenly, his brows relaxed, completely different from the cold and aloof man he usually was.
She stared at it for a long time.
Then she gently moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
Fu Yibai woke up.
He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her.
Gao Yuanyuan immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but her eyelashes trembled violently.
"Get up when you wake up."
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
Gao Yuanyuan opened her eyes, her face slightly flushed.
"I...I'll go make breakfast."
She lifted the covers to get out of bed, but Fu Yibai reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
"No rush."
Gao Yuanyuan buried her face in his chest, her heart racing again.
"Yi Bai..."
"Um?"
"I am sincere towards you."
Fu Yibai looked down at her without saying a word.
Gao Yuanyuan raised her head and met his gaze. Her eyes were clearer, but still bright.
I ask for nothing else, I only hope...
You think of me occasionally.
Fu Yibai looked at her.
"Yes."
Just two words.
Gao Yuanyuan felt that the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart had finally been lifted.
She smiled, pursed her lips, and gently kissed his lips.
"I'll go make breakfast."
This time, Fu Yibai didn't stop her.
Gao Yuanyuan put on her bathrobe and ran barefoot out of the bedroom.
Soon, slight noises came from the kitchen: the clinking of spatulas and her occasional soft humming.
Fu Yibai leaned against the headboard, staring at the ceiling, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Half an hour later, Gao Yuanyuan brought in breakfast.
Fried eggs, bacon, toast, and two cups of hot milk.
"There's not much food at home, so please... make do with this."
She placed the tray on the bedside table and sat down beside him.
Fu Yibai sat up, took the milk, and took a sip.
Gao Yuanyuan ate her fried egg in small bites, her gaze occasionally falling on him.
"Yi Bai..."
"Um?"
Will I ever be able to see you again?
Fu Yibai turned his head to look at her.
Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with both anticipation and unease.
"Call me when you want to see me."
Gao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on her face, like a flower in spring.
"it is good."
After breakfast, Fu Yibai got up and got dressed.
Gao Yuanyuan leaned against the headboard, watching his back as he buttoned his shirt, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.
"Yi Bai."
Fu Yibai turned around.
"Be careful on the road."
"Um."
He walked over and bent down to place a kiss on her forehead.
"have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The door closed very quietly.
Gao Yuanyuan sat on the bed, her hand covering her forehead, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
After a long while, she lay back down on the bed and buried her face in the pillow.
His scent lingered on the pillow.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
June 4, 2004, Beijing Capital International Airport.
The morning sunlight streamed into the waiting hall through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows on the polished floor.
After checking in, Fu Yibai waited in the VIP lounge.
He only brought simple luggage on this trip abroad, and had no assistant or entourage with him.
Zhao Qi originally wanted to arrange for someone to follow him, but he refused.
The fewer people who know about the European Cup, the better.
The boarding announcement sounded.
Fu Yibai put away his phone, picked up his luggage, and headed towards the boarding gate.
Thirteen hours of flight was enough for him to sort out his next plan.
Arrived at London Heathrow Airport at 3 p.m. local time.
The London sky in June was overcast, with a fine drizzle falling.
Fu Yibai got into the taxi and gave them the hotel address.
After checking in, he rested briefly in the suite, then turned on his laptop and began to handle the following matters.
The following week, the $1800 million raised from the sale of the rights to "No Country for Old Men" was distributed through more than a dozen offshore accounts and bet on various legal betting companies in Europe.
June 12th, the opening day of the European Championship.
Fu Yibai has left London and arrived in Portugal.
Although he already knew the outcome, he still wanted to witness this miracle with his own eyes.
Time flies, and the finals are on July 4th.
The score was 0-0 at halftime.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Greece was awarded a corner kick.
The ball is kicked out, flicked on at the near post, and at the far post—Charisteas leaps high and heads it into the goal!
1: 0!
The Estádio da Luz in Lisbon fell silent instantly.
Immediately afterwards, cheers from the Greek fans swept across the entire stands like a tsunami.
Fu Yibai sat in the VIP section, watching the Greek players celebrating wildly on the field. Even though he had been reborn, he could not hide his excitement.
This one goal earned him hundreds of millions of dollars out of thin air.
When he arrived in North America, Star Overseas already had 1.1 billion US dollars quietly lying in its accounts.
Xinghui has officially transformed from a shell company into Fu Yibai's overseas investment company.
The purpose of this trip to North America is twofold: first, to find a professional investment manager on Wall Street.
Secondly, they went to acquire the soon-to-be-bankrupt Franchise Films.
(P.S.: I know Hollywood wouldn't agree to Chinese people acquiring companies here, but it's a novel, so let's not worry about that~~)
