72: Worth 1.22 million! Chen Tao got ripped off!
Chen Kai felt a tightness in his chest and stammered slightly, "My home is missing a chair, and I thought this boss chair looked quite nice."
The muscular man in the white tank top suddenly relaxed his furrowed brow and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I thought you had hidden something good inside this chair."
Chen Kai felt a tightness in his chest again and quickly changed the subject.
"What could possibly be hidden in this piece of junk chair? There is a safe though, I tried to pry it open just now, but I couldn't."
The two muscular men's eyes lit up instantly, "Damn? There's such a good thing? We'll take it!"
"Fine, then you guys pry it open. I'll take this chair down first."
Seeing that they had focused all their attention on the safe, Chen Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took long strides, carrying the chair toward the door, and brushed past the two men.
"Wait!"
The muscular man suddenly spoke up again, calling out to Chen Kai.
"What's up, Brother?"
Chen Kai didn't move his body and asked without turning around.
"Don't just move the chair. There are so many fitness pieces outside that are actually valuable. You can buy this piece of junk chair in the second-hand market for a little over a hundred."
"Exactly! The Gym has already run away; you can't leave things for them. Take some Barbells or something, that's what's worth money! I don't think you know anything about financial management! Just moving a broken stool!"
Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Thanks for the reminder, big Brothers. I'll go take some equipment."
"Hey, right, that's it. Fitness equipment is valuable, this piece of junk is worthless."
Chen Kai nodded with a smile and walked out carrying the boss chair.
On the way, he thought for a moment, then casually picked up a pair of Dumbbells, placed them on the boss chair, and carried them out of the Gym together.
After thinking about it, he bypassed the elevator and walked toward the stairwell with the chair in his arms.
The floor above was a Financial Company, and the floor below was vacant and unrented.
He decided to carry the chair one floor down and set it down in an empty, abandoned office.
He placed it with the caster base facing up. Since he had already intercepted it from these people, there was no need to break it by prying it open violently.
If he lost even one bead, it would mean losing thousands of dollars.
He carefully spun the casters with his hand, listening for the sound of the old amber bracelet, and managed to retrieve it as the casters turned.
After a dozen minutes of rescue work, the old amber bracelet was retrieved intact, with only a little dust on it.
Chen Kai was overjoyed. He tucked the bracelet into his pocket, carried the two Dumbbells, walked out of the empty office, and left the boss chair casually inside.
He strode to the stairwell, sent a message to Tang Yunshu, and then headed upstairs.
When he climbed two more floors and reached the floor of the Financial Company, a fine layer of sweat already covered his forehead.
Walking out of the stairwell, he saw Tang Yunshu waiting by the elevator early on. Seeing Chen Kai come up from the stairwell, she was stunned for a moment, and then joy burst into her eyes.
She trotted to Chen Kai's side, "Brother, you are too amazing!!!"
Chen Kai was stunned. Just as he was about to wipe away the sweat, his arm was grabbed.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you check TikTok today? The streamer who endorsed Stock Code has collapsed! Since 12:00 last night, Stock Code's stock has plummeted from 160 per share to 70 per share! It's a good thing you reminded me, Brother, otherwise I would have lost over fifty thousand last night!"
As Tang Yunshu was speaking, she wanted to take out her phone to show Chen Kai the recording of the streamer's collapse, but she suddenly noticed the fine beads of sweat covering his forehead.
She took a pack of tissues from her jeans pocket, pulled one out, raised her fair hand, and wiped his forehead with the tissue.
"Brother, why are you sweating so much?"
Chen Kai was stunned; the tissue smelled a bit fragrant, but it didn't smell like the tissue's original scent.
Hmm... it was just a special kind of fragrance.
"It's a bit hot from climbing the stairs. Did you sell your Stocks yesterday too?"
"Yes! It's a good thing Brother reminded me, otherwise I would have really lost a lot. Who could have imagined that the streamer would suddenly crash? But... but aren't you too amazing? You could even predict the streamer's sudden crash?"
Tang Yunshu stood on her tiptoes, her body leaning forward involuntarily.
She wasn't short to begin with, and because she was focused on wiping his sweat with the tissue, she didn't notice that the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.
They nearly had a passionate collision of nose tips.
The employees working in the company saw this scene, and their jaws almost dropped to the floor.
"Damn?! What the... the boss is wiping his sweat?"
"And this distance... they're almost kissing! How much charm does this man have?"
"Don't say it... I'm truly envious. When she does a handover with me, I'd be satisfied even with one ten-thousandth of that attitude."
"Then you have too little ambition. I'd only be satisfied with one percent of the boss's attitude toward me."
"Then you have high ambitions, Brother."
Tang Yunshu also noticed that the distance between them was a bit too close. She quickly stepped back two steps, her face slightly flushed as she lowered her eyes.
"Ahem... Brother, let me show you the recording of the streamer who endorsed Stock Code crashing yesterday. The whole internet is cursing him now!"
Tang Yunshu quickly changed the subject to ease the awkwardness, took out her phone from her pocket, and played a video while leaning in close to Chen Kai.
Chen Kai looked carefully. In the video, a sissy-looking man was saying, "OMG! Sisters, buy it! What? 79 for one is expensive? Where is it expensive? Think about whether you've worked hard at your job..."
Chen Kai twitched the corner of his mouth. This guy is a talent; it's no wonder he crashed.
"So, Brother, you even predicted this step?"
Tang Yunshu blinked her big eyes, staring at his face with admiration.
Chen Kai nodded silently, "I didn't predict the crash, but I felt that its stock price of 160 was already the peak. The business competition in cosmetics is still very high."
"But my judgment was still correct."
Little stars appeared in Tang Yunshu's eyes, "Brother, you are really amazing! I... I can't even find words to praise you. Your insight is just too awesome."
"Those experts didn't predict it. I guess a large number of people were harvested in the stock market last night. I don't know how many people went all-in."
Tang Yunshu was now extremely glad that she had listened to Chen Kai's advice yesterday.
The rise and fall that those experts couldn't predict, with Chen Kai, seemed as if he already knew the outcome in advance; every time he sold at the highest point.
It was as if he would never be wrong. This insight is in a class of its own in the entire Financial Street.
"It's okay, just good luck."
Chen Kai smiled faintly and followed Tang Yunshu back to their workstations under the strange gazes of their colleagues.
"Brother, I'll transfer the money to you. The principal is 1.14 million, I take one percent, which is 14,000. 0.5 percent of the net profit is 800. So the principal plus net profit is 1.22 million. I'll transfer it to you."
"Okay."
"Sigh, I wonder how many Retail Investors were harvested last night. It's too tragic. Who could have thought Stock Code would suddenly crash?"
As the two were chatting, Chen Tao behind them heard their conversation, his face suddenly darkened, and he frantically opened the stock market app.
