54: Character information?
Chen Kai was stunned, then jerked his head to look.
The downward trend of the Stocks was faster than he had imagined! And much more violent!
In less than half an hour, it had dropped from 453 per share to 418!
And it was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, dropping every single second!
417... 416... 412... 401...
Upon seeing this, Tang Yunshu covered her mouth in shock. She turned her head in disbelief, looking at Chen Kai as if he were a monster.
How? How could he cash out at the absolute peak?
And that peak had lasted less than half an hour—was this really just luck?
This was likely the kind of vision that countless stock traders dreamt of cultivating!
Was Chen Kai actually a hidden tycoon? Tang Yunshu had already concocted a dramatic American TV show plot in her mind, ranging from him hanging up his hat to being forced to return to the game.
The look she gave Chen Kai couldn't help but sparkle with admiration.
"Brother... was this also within your predictions?"
Chen Kai nodded, then shook his head. "I've studied it a little bit. I just simply felt it wouldn't rise anymore, though the speed of this drop surprised even me."
"Amazing... Brother, can you come to me to invest in Stocks next time?"
Tang Yunshu looked at him eagerly. Usually, she carried herself like a cold, aloof queen, but now her voice had taken on a slightly affected, cutesy tone.
She wanted to improve too much.
By helping Chen Kai buy Pop Mart Stocks this time, she felt she had realized something.
If she learned more from Chen Kai, she would surely be able to grasp some insight!
Could Chen Kai be some kind of hermit master? Was asking her to buy Stocks his way of guiding her?
Tang Yunshu's little brain had already started spinning an incredibly fantasy-like story.
"Yeah, sure. Next time there's something to invest in, I'll come to you again."
Chen Kai nodded. The system panel before his eyes was already notifying him that it was ready for an upgrade, and he couldn't wait to go back and upgrade the system panel.
"Okay~ Thank you, Brother. Let's keep in touch on WeChat!"
Breaking from her usual demeanor, Tang Yunshu took the initiative to escort Chen Kai out of the company doors and helped him press the button for the elevator. Even after Chen Kai entered the elevator, she kept waving, her smile incredibly sweet.
Several colleagues behind her were stunned.
"When the Boss smiles... she's just too beautiful..."
"Beautiful, right? Unfortunately, she's destined to be out of reach for us ordinary people. If someone were to have a chance, it would be a financial tycoon like Brother Chen Kai, who could overwhelm her with professional knowledge and turn her into a little fangirl."
"Sigh... I feel like the Boss is almost infatuated; she seems so interested in Chen Kai."
"You're not wrong. Little do you know... liking someone starts with being interested."
"Stop talking nonsense, philosopher. Keep watching the Stocks~"
...
Chen Kai went downstairs, hopped on his little electric donkey, and headed straight for his Rental House.
Less than an hour and a half later, Chen Kai couldn't wait to park his little electric donkey downstairs to charge and jogged all the way upstairs.
He hurriedly transferred the 545,000 that had arrived in his Bank card into his Green Bubbles balance.
After a moment's thought, he withdrew 150,000, first paying off the 30,000 he had scammed from online loans.
He also transferred 20,000 to Zheng Liu Chang, leaving 100,000 in the Bank card, ready to give to Liu Yunshang in person.
Now, there was still 470,000 left in his Green Bubbles balance!
For a split second, Chen Kai felt like he was dreaming. He was clearly just a poor guy who had failed at starting a business and was saddled with debt, and now... in the blink of an eye, his net worth was nearly 500,000.
Even after paying off all his debts, he would still have 170,000 in savings!
However, Chen Kai didn't plan to pay off the debts immediately. He knew full well that being in debt didn't feel good, but starting from now, four days a week would be Intermediate Intelligence.
If, like that previous Intermediate Intelligence, he needed to invest, 170,000 wouldn't provide much leverage.
On the contrary, having 470,000 on hand meant the potential profit from investments would be huge.
A smart person would definitely not choose to pay back the money at this time!
As soon as the transfer to Zheng Liu Chang went through, the other party sent a question mark on WeChat.
[?]
[The other party has returned your transfer]
[What the hell are you doing? I'm not in a rush for money; what I earn from streaming is enough for now.]
[A father knows his son best; don't I know you're short on cash? No rush to pay me back, just use it.]
[Wait until you've truly turned things around, then I'll ask you for it. You'll have to pay interest then! But for the love of god, don't actually go buy a Land Rover.]
Chen Kai chuckled. Since he wouldn't accept it, he would just have to give it to him in person next time he went to the shop.
He'd buy him two cartons of cigarettes while he was at it. Zheng Liu Chang had helped him quite a bit, even advancing his salary and lending him money; he kept all of that in mind.
[Ding!]
[Please select the dates to upgrade to Intermediate Intelligence!]
The system popped up again. He calculated that Wednesday already had an intelligence upgrade, and there were three more days available to upgrade, so he chose Thursday, Saturday, and Monday.
Only Tuesday, Friday, and the weekend were left without intelligence upgrades, but at this rate of making money, he would soon be able to upgrade everything to Intermediate Intelligence.
"Just upgrade Sunday, Saturday, and Monday."
[Upgrading intelligence for the host... please wait...]
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Kai sent a message to Liu Yunshang to arrange a meeting next week.
He would return the money to Liu Yunshang in person when they met.
"Sis, are you off next Friday?"
The message was sent, but the other side didn't reply for a long time.
He simply started thinking about the Jade Rough Stone exhibition that Liu Yunshang had mentioned, which Zheng Liu Chang had also spoken of.
He felt the chances of winning big with a small bet were high there, but unfortunately, he didn't have the eye for it and could only wait for the intelligence.
...
On the other side, Liu Yunshang was at the Jade Rough Stone exhibition examining the stones.
Looking at the 12 million price tag marked next to a Jade Rough Stone, she secretly made up her mind: this was the one.
If she lost, she would have to leave it to fate; she might even lose her house.
She would truly be penniless.
But since it was a top lot, there must be a reason for it. If she won the gamble and cut out some Imperial Green, that would mean hundreds of times the profit.
The next moment, Liu Yunshang's phone rang. Seeing it was a message from Chen Kai, her ice-queen face became uncharacteristically gentle as she picked up her phone to reply.
...
On the other side, Chen Kai watched the system that was about to finish upgrading, feeling a faint sense of anticipation.
"Ding-dong."
The next moment, Liu Yunshang's message arrived: [I'm free. Even if I weren't, I'd make time. How could I refuse a little brother? I'm afraid I'd break his heart~]
Chen Kai chuckled and replied with an emoji.
Afterward, he quietly waited for the system upgrade. It wasn't until midnight that the system finally indicated the upgrade was successful.
[Ding!]
[System upgrade successful! Successfully changed Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday to Intermediate Intelligence!]
[Today's Intermediate Intelligence refreshed!]
[Today's Intermediate Intelligence: Character Intelligence + Score a Bargain Intelligence merged.]
[Character Intelligence: This afternoon, a female president in the Antique Trade bought the 12 million top lot at the Qingzhou Jade Rough Stone exhibition. She cut the stone on the spot, only to find she had been set up; upon opening, it was full of Imperial Cracks. It was worth only a few tens of thousands, causing her to go bankrupt immediately and even contemplate suicide.]
