110: Chapter 110 Trading Showdown! Ella Wins First Victory Over John

John's trader sent a provocative message to Ella.

Ella was focused intently on the market, snatching up shares, when an anonymous message suddenly popped up on the backend of her trading terminal. The black text on a white background hit the screen, looking exceptionally jarring.

In the makeshift office, the sound of keyboard typing was rapid and dense. Everyone was on edge, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and even their breathing was kept very light, with only the data on the screens jumping frantically.

The content of the message was blunt and arrogant: "Be smart and withdraw immediately! Microsoft is not a piece of meat you can touch. Step aside obediently, and you might lose a little less."

After scanning the message, anger instantly flared in Ella's eyes, and her fingers tightened around the mouse until her knuckles turned white. Yet, she only let out a cold laugh through her nose. Her trading rhythm remained completely undisturbed; her anger was compressed into cold, calculated lethality.

Having struggled and climbed in the investment banking world for so many years, her greatest strength was handling high pressure. This little provocation wasn't enough to throw her off balance.

Ella's fingertips tapped out a reply rapidly, her tone icy and firm: "If you have the ability, come and grab it! What kind of skill is just talking big?"

After sending the message, she closed the pop-up window directly and threw herself heart and soul into the trading, completely undisturbed by the opponent.

Lin Chen walked slowly behind her, his gaze falling on the market board. He saw through the opponent's trick at a glance and reminded her in a steady tone: "Steady. He is baiting you into making a mistake. He's provoking you on purpose to make you chase the high and disrupt your rhythm, exposing our position."

Ella felt a shiver in her heart and instantly sobered up.

She had almost been blinded by anger just now. Fortunately, Lin Chen's words woke her up. She immediately looked at the AI real-time projection data to the side and calmed down: "I understand. I won't clash with him head-on. I'll target his capital shortage."

The John Family's funds were not from clean sources; they didn't dare to sweep up goods openly and crazily, so they could only use small batches to bait the bulls. This was their biggest weakness.

"Chen Xi, keep a close watch on his trading seat and record all his entry points," Ella ordered in a low voice.

"Understood." Chen Xi's fingertips operated rapidly, meticulously locking onto every single transaction of the opponent, not daring to have the slightest oversight.

At this moment, Li Wei walked over quickly, his face full of certainty as he patted his chest to guarantee: "Brother Chen, the network is absolutely secure! The firewall is maxed out throughout. There is no possibility of them hacking into the system to interfere with the trading. The channel is very stable!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "Continue to guard it well. There can't be any slip-ups."

"Rest assured!" Li Wei immediately guarded the network equipment, his eyes staring fixedly at the monitoring, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The trading duel officially began.

John's trader continuously released small orders to bait the bulls, wanting to force Ella to chase the high and enter the market. But Ella didn't fall for it at all. She only followed the hidden points given by the AI, specifically targeting unpopular chips that the opponent didn't look at or didn't have time to grab, quietly and frantically accumulating chips.

The opponent was fast, but she was steadier; the opponent was fierce, but she was craftier.

Every transaction was stuck in the blind spot of John's trader—precise and tricky—making the opponent so angry that they made frequent mistakes.

"He's starting to lose his rhythm!" Chen Xi reminded her in time.

Ella's eyes sharpened: "Now is the time. Lock the position with full force!"

Her fingers slammed the trading hotkey, and a large volume of capital entered the market precisely, directly locking in most of the high-quality circulating original shares on the market. Her movements were crisp and neat, completed in one go.

By the time John's trader reacted and wanted to snatch the chips, the high-quality chips had already been pocketed by Ella. He only managed to grab some scattered leftovers, which couldn't shake Lin Chen's holding advantage at all.

"Done!" Ella let go of the mouse and let out a long sigh of relief, a rare look of victory appearing on her face. "We took the lead and locked in a large number of holdings. This round, we won!"

Chen Xi quickly finished checking the holding data, her tone unable to hide her joy: "Mr. Lin, the verification is correct. The core chips are all in our hands. John's side only got a fraction, and they are completely unable to contend with us."

Lin Chen looked at the market, his expression calm, speaking with the air of one who holds the winning cards: "Well done. The first battle is won, but don't let your guard down."

Meanwhile, in the private villa of the John Family.

John looked at the failure report sent by the trader and learned that a large pile of chips had been snatched away by Ella. He was so furious on the spot that he jumped in rage, raising his hand to sweep the crystal glass off the table, sending shards splattering everywhere.

"Trash! You can't even beat a woman who was fired by an investment bank? Are you all useless?"

His face turned livid, his chest heaving violently. He stared at Lin Chen's name, his eyes sinister to the extreme.

He had suffered a big fall this time, and he absolutely couldn't swallow this anger.

John personally gave the order to teach Lin Chen a lesson.
