Chapter 29 Shock

She quickly regained her composure,

nodded, and said in a crisp tone:

"It counts, of course it counts!

"Starting from today, every trading day will be included in the bet's timeframe,"

"I want to see exactly how much it will become in the end."

Lin Chen smiled and did not refute her,

directly pulling his phone out of his pocket in front of the entire class.

He opened his securities trading software and turned the screen toward everyone,

his tone flat but filled with complete confidence:

"Teacher, classmates, I took leave this morning specifically to open an account at the stock exchange,"

"and I happened to buy a stock with a principal of five hundred thousand."

"What?"

"Five hundred thousand?!"

"My God!"

"Five hundred thousand?"

"He actually invested five hundred thousand?"

An exclamation instantly erupted in the classroom; everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Many of the students present came from wealthy families, and their parents would give them some pocket money to try out stock trading,

but most were in the tens of thousands, maybe over a hundred thousand, at most two hundred thousand.

Someone like Lin Chen, a novice who directly invested five hundred thousand, was simply unheard of!

Even if the family was rich, parents wouldn't let a novice who just opened an account and had no trading experience invest five hundred thousand all at once!

This was simply insane!

Wang Hao's expression also changed, and he felt a bit panicked inside,

but he still toughened his stance and said stubbornly:

"So what if it's five hundred thousand?"

"Maybe in a few days, you'll lose everything until you're broke,"

"and then you'll still have to run laps naked and write a self-criticism letter!"

Lin Chen completely ignored his clamoring, his gaze remaining calm.

His finger swiped across the phone screen, pointing at the stock information on the display,

as he spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of a smile that was hard to detect:

"I was lucky today and bought an IPO. You can all take a look at the stock code,"

"stock name, the transaction price was 31.75 yuan. The market has closed now, and the latest price is 34.63 yuan, which happens to be the daily limit,"

"an increase of 10%."

"Daily limit?!"

"My God!"

"A novice opening an account on the first day and buying a stock that hit the daily limit?"

"This luck is just too good!"

"Five hundred thousand, a 10% daily limit increase—that means he earned fifty thousand?"

"He earned fifty thousand in one day?"

"This is just too amazing!"

Exclamations rang out again as everyone crowded around,

leaning in front of Lin Chen's phone to carefully look at the transaction records and stock price on the screen,

their eyes full of envy and shock.

Earning fifty thousand in a day—that was a year's tuition for many, or even a year's income for an ordinary person!

And Lin Chen had actually earned it in a single day!

Liu Minting's expression also completely changed.

She no longer had her previous composure and mockery, and a wave of panic rose in her heart.

She never expected that Lin Chen would actually buy a stock that hit the daily limit, and an IPO at that!

She quickly pulled out her own phone and rapidly opened her securities trading software.

She searched for "stock name," and upon seeing it, her expression grew even more solemn.

The screen clearly showed that stock name opened at 31.75 yuan today and closed at 34.63 yuan, an increase of 10.02%, exactly at the daily limit,

identical to what was shown on Lin Chen's phone!

She could no longer sit still and walked quickly down from the podium to Lin Chen, her tone somewhat hurried:

"Give me your phone to look at. I want to check your bank-securities transfer records and transaction records,"

"in case you photoshopped the image to deliberately deceive everyone!"

Lin Chen smiled and very generously handed the phone to her,

without the slightest hesitation.

He wasn't afraid of an inspection at all because all of it was real.

Liu Minting took the phone and quickly flipped through the bank-securities transfer records and transaction records,

her fingers trembling slightly.

The transfer records clearly showed that this morning, Lin Chen had indeed transferred five hundred thousand into his securities account.

The transaction records also showed that he had indeed bought stock name at the price of 31.75 yuan,

amounting to over 15,700 shares, with a total transaction value of exactly around five hundred thousand.

There were no issues; it was all authentic!

After finishing her look, Liu Minting's face turned pale and then flushed with embarrassment.

She felt increasingly uncertain, but she still forced herself to remain calm as she returned the phone to Lin Chen,

saying stubbornly:

"Fine, consider it your good luck that you bought a stock that hit the daily limit."

"But don't get ahead of yourself. This one stock proves nothing. Even if it hits the daily limit today, and even if it hits a few more, it will only double at most."

"You're still far from your goal of ten times the return in half a year!"

She paused, her tone carrying a bit of embarrassment mixed with unwilling defiance:

"You can't have such good luck every day, and you can't buy a daily limit stock every day. We'll see!"

With that, she didn't dare to look at Lin Chen again, nor did she dare to face the curious gazes of the students.

Striding on those long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings,

she swayed her hips and hurriedly said,

"Class dismissed!"

Then she quickly left the classroom, almost forgetting to take her lesson plans.

She only wanted to quickly leave this place that made her feel embarrassed and flustered.

As soon as the teacher left, the students began to leave the classroom in small groups.

Before leaving, they didn't forget to take a few more looks at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with envy, admiration, and curiosity.

Many even took the initiative to greet Lin Chen, wanting to ask him about his stock trading techniques.

The people in the classroom became fewer and fewer, until finally, only Lin Chen, Xia Wanqing, and Xia Wanrou remained.

Xia Wanqing still kept her head down, her cheeks still bright red.

She sat firmly in her seat, refusing to look up, as if she were throwing a tantrum at herself.

Seeing her sister like this, Xia Wanrou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She reached out and patted her shoulder, teasing:

"Alright, alright, stop being angry. The classmates are all gone."

"No one will mock you now. Let's go, let's go. If we don't leave now, there won't be any food left in the cafeteria."

Xia Wanqing suddenly looked up, her face full of annoyance and anger, and said through gritted teeth:

"That damn Lin Chen!"

"He really makes me so angry!"

"I didn't expect him to actually invest five hundred thousand and even buy a stock that hit the daily limit."

"He actually turned the tables on me; now I'm really in a difficult position!"

Xia Wanrou laughed even harder seeing her sister's exasperated look:

"Who told you to be so impulsive and insist on making a bet with him back then?"

"Regretting it now, are you?"

"I think, if Lin Chen really wins, you should just obediently give him a kiss."

"And taking a ten percent cut of the profit isn't a bad deal either~"

"You're still laughing!"

Xia Wanqing glared at her younger sister, her cheeks turning even redder, but she could no longer find any words to retort.

She could only grumpily pack her schoolbag and follow Xia Wanrou out of the classroom without looking back.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but secretly glare at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was annoyance, unwillingness, and even a hint of curiosity that she hadn't even noticed herself.

Lin Chen watched the sisters' departing figures and couldn't help but smile, looking down at the stock information on his phone with a look of absolute certainty.

Ten times the return in half a year might be a fantasy to others,

but to him, it was just a piece of cake.

Because in this leveraged bull market, he remembered several stocks that had doubled in value.

He was sure to win this bet.
