275: Chengtou Holdings' stock price plummeted from its peak to its lowest point!

Xiao Hou, in a daze, could only think about the collapse of Chengtou Holdings.

When he closed the software, it had already fallen by 3 points.

Would it stop at this price point later?

Would it quickly pull up and hit the limit again?

Or would it continue to crash down?

Until... Xiao Hou didn't dare to think anymore. He knocked on the leader's door and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Leader, did you need me for something?"

The leader, sitting at his desk, looked at Xiao Hou, angrily knocked on the table, and immediately started scolding him harshly: "Xiao Hou, you used to be a sharp young man. Why have you been so listless lately? You've made several work mistakes. Look at the state you're in now, completely out of it! Even a pig has more spirit than you!!"

After finishing his tirade, he finally got straight to the point.

"Why hasn't the report I gave you last week been submitted yet? Didn't you know we needed it today?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Hou instantly froze.

The report?!

He vaguely remembered such a thing, but he had been busy all weekend searching major financial forums and the Stock Bar for the answers he wanted.

Where would he find the time to think about work?

"Leader, I put the documents on the table! I'll bring them over to you right away!!" Xiao Hou lied instantly.

He hadn't written any report.

At this moment, all he wanted was to see what the stock market was like, and how his Chengtou Holdings stock was doing.

Hearing this, the leader's expression softened slightly. He knocked on the desk: "Bring it to me quickly! I have other things waiting to be dealt with soon!!"

Xiao Hou nodded repeatedly, then quickly ran to his workstation.

To hell with the damn report! All he could think about now was the stock market.

He quickly opened the software and Xiao Hou fixed his gaze for a quick look.

That single glance left him completely stunned, his eyes filled with shock.

He muttered, "Impossible, this is impossible. Chengtou Holdings has a private placement plan and M&A restructuring theme. It's the hottest theme this month. If capital doesn't choose it, who else can it choose?"

"This must be a wash-out, definitely a wash-out!!"

But how can a wash-out push the stock to the limit down?

Given the current market sentiment, hitting the limit down means abandoning this stock.

In the Stock Bar, the Stock Investors who bought this stock were also in an uproar.

"Damn, M&A restructuring stocks crashed today too?"

"That's disgusting. I actually ran into a limit down from limit up."

"Fortunately, I ran fast. I liquidated my position around +5% when I saw things going south, avoiding a 15-point crash."

"Even the M&A theme collapsed. The broader market is truly doomed!!"

"Today, Steel and Tourism were the ones being pulled up. I'm truly speechless."

"I earned over 100,000 when it hit the limit up, but now I'm losing over 100,000. That's a swing of over 200,000 in profit. I'm getting a terrible headache."

"How does that Big Shot who went all-in with full leverage at +6% feel now?"

How great.

It was rare that someone still remembered the message Xiao Hou had just posted.

But at this moment, that sentence was equivalent to whipping a corpse.

Xiao Hou tremblingly opened his holdings.

The account, which had peaked around 630,000, now only had 507,000 left!

Nearly 130,000 had evaporated instantly.

This wasn't the crucial point.

The crucial point was that his remaining principal was originally only 315,000.

This meant his principal was now suddenly less than 190,000.

This blow was fatal to him.

"How could it hit the limit down? Why did it hit the limit down?!"

"limit down from limit up? Why am I so unlucky?"

Xiao Hou murmured.

He began carefully flipping through the messages in the Stock Bar, hoping to find one that suggested the stock could still rebound today.

But not a single person said anything of the sort.

Everyone was currently like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring!

All they had was the word "escape"!!

Without him noticing, the leader had quietly come up behind Xiao Hou.

Xiao Hou was completely immersed in the stock market at the moment; he hadn't thought about switching screens or that the leader might approach.

"Xiao Hou, what are you doing? Where is the report?"

A voice full of authority and anger made Xiao Hou instantly jump.

He turned his head and saw the leader standing there furiously.

Xiao Hou quickly stood up, trembling, unsure of what to say.

Instead, the leader glanced at Xiao Hou's computer desktop and sneered, "Oh, so you're playing the stock market? No wonder your work efficiency has dropped so quickly lately—it turns out you've been trading stocks!"

"Let me see which stock you're playing?"

"Chengtou Holdings, limit down, limit down from limit up?"

It was obvious the leader also traded stocks, otherwise he wouldn't use such professional terminology.

The leader took another careful look: "The sell point on the chart was around 6 points, meaning you basically lost a limit down from limit up today?"

In the office, everyone's eyes turned toward Xiao Hou.

Their eyes held all sorts of expressions.

There was disdain, shock, surprise, contempt, indifference, and confusion.

The full spectrum of human emotions burst forth at this moment.

Xiao Hou was being stared at by so many colleagues and the leader, and had to endure the leader's mockery.

Furthermore, he had to endure the pain brought by losing money.

He no longer knew what he was thinking; he just stood there, unable to utter a single word.

The leader snorted coldly: "Looking at you, I guess you didn't write the report either? Submit the report to me before the end of the workday this afternoon. I'll let the other matters slide for now!"

After speaking, the leader slowly returned to his office.

But the subsequent questioning from his colleagues was the most fatal blow.

A group of people surrounded him after seeing the leader leave.

"Hou Ge, didn't you tell me before that you made money trading stocks?"

"Xiao Hou trades stocks? I didn't know that."

"Hou Ge is really good at trading stocks! When he showed me before, his account had over 600,000!!"

"But the stock market was really incredible a while ago. I almost wanted to start trading myself."

"But I heard the stock market has been crashing severely these past two days."

"What did the leader just say about limit down and limit down from limit up? Did Hou Ge lose money?"

Xiao Hou looked around angrily and roared, "Get out, all of you! Stop your annoying chatter!"

After this commotion, the office became eerily quiet.

But everyone kept glancing over at Xiao Hou occasionally.

This made him feel completely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his seat was in the corner, which made him feel slightly better.

But sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens.

When the roof leaks, it happens to be a continuous night rain!

After the market closed.

The appearance of one piece of news plunged Xiao Hou completely into the abyss.

[Chengtou Holdings: Following a resolution, the company's private placement plan has been temporarily postponed.]
