Safety red line

Wu Ling was finally satisfied. "Liu Xin looks like a frosted eggplant. If you told me he was going to become a monk, I'd believe it."

Shen Jiancheng said from the side, "Ling Jie, don't believe Xiao Zi. He's really perked up this time. Even Tan Cheng actively sought him out."

Wu Ling's eyes widened. "Ah? Really?"

Everyone in the class basically knew about Chen Xiao and Tan Cheng's situation. In his previous life, he was incredibly fawning.

"Really? No way! Don't listen to Shen Jiancheng's nonsense. He was the one staring at her best friend for several glances."

Shen Jiancheng: "Damn it, don't change the subject! Ling Jie, I didn't..."

"Ah—!"

...

The meal was extraordinarily lively, except for Liu Xin, who seemed a bit down.

Chen Xiao thoroughly enjoyed his current life.

Rebirth, after all, isn't about grand, earth-shattering endeavors, but about living each day well and savoring the small details of life. That's the true meaning.

If he went around provoking rich second-generation heirs today and stepping on entrepreneurs tomorrow, making enemies everywhere...

Wouldn't that be even more exhausting than before his rebirth? He'd just be making trouble for himself.

Constantly jumping around, living a rough life every day, what would be the point of rebirth then?

Before the dorm locked, Chen Xiao helped Liu Xin, who was swaying as he walked from drinking, back to the dorm.

"Damn it, what's the big deal? How many days has it been for you?"

Liu Xin laughed drunkenly, "Hehehe, you don't understand. Besides, I'm not drunk!"

"Alright, you're awesome, okay?" Chen Xiao said.

After finally settling him down, Chen Xiao took a cool shower before getting into bed.

On a stuffy night, only a small fan provided relief.

Though not as comfortable as an air-conditioned room, this was the time he missed most.

Chen Xiao, conversely, slept more soundly and sweetly than he did in an air-conditioned room.

The next morning, everything was as usual.

Through a week of training, Chen Xiao's exercise intensity gradually increased.

Initially, he could only run one lap and walked the rest.

Later, he could run two, then three laps.

Today, Chen Xiao had already run 5 laps around the 400-meter track before stopping, drenched in sweat.

On the track, a group of fit men and women were still running.

This was the most vibrant and youthful place on the entire campus.

On the surrounding stands, there was never a shortage of spectators who neither ran nor exercised.

Their goal was to spot the beautiful women with fit physiques from long-term exercise.

Chen Xiao shook his head and didn't linger there.

If he wanted to find that type of beauty, going to a high-end gym and finding a personal trainer would yield women with even more striking figures than those here.

Those women had specifically trained certain alluring body parts.

...

After breakfast, Chen Xiao took a refreshing shower, then changed into clean clothes, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked out of campus.

He had no choice; for his grand plan to get rich, he could only skip classes for now.

He'd deal with that later, if the opportunity arose.

At nine in the morning, before the stock market opened, he arrived at the KFC he'd agreed to meet Su Tang at. They found a quiet corner and ordered a set meal.

Chen Xiao logged into his stock account using Su Tang's laptop.

The glaring 10.00% increase made Su Tang's pupils contract sharply.

She thought to herself, he's truly not an ordinary person!

What she didn't know was that Chen Xiao had taken the stock from its lower limit to its upper limit, a full 20% profit, and it was a short-term operation, only one trading day apart.

Such a divine feat, even with luck factored in, would be extremely rare in the entire Financial market.

Chen Xiao skillfully sold all his stocks, clearing his position.

With a principal of 90,000, he made a profit of 18,000 in one trading day.

This was something Chen Xiao had never dared to imagine, yet it was now really happening.

Su Tang watched Chen Xiao operate, wanting to dissuade him, but he was too fast. While she was still considering how to speak, he had already cleared his position without hesitation.

"Uh... this company released significant positive news over the weekend. You could actually hold onto it for a bit longer. In the next few trading days, even if it doesn't hit the upper limit, it will at least continue to rise."

Chen Xiao smiled. "That's not very interesting. Tomorrow, I'll transfer this 100,000 yuan to your account, and we'll operate on a different stock."

Su Tang was stunned. Not very interesting?

In the stock market, how many people pray to gods and buddhas hoping their stocks will rise, and for you, it's "not very interesting"?

Go pull any stock investor off the street, tell them which stock will steadily rise in the next few days, and after it's confirmed, they'd probably put you on a pedestal.

"Hm? What? Is there a problem?" Chen Xiao asked, seeing her in a daze.

"Ah?"

"Oh, oh, no, no problem."

Su Tang came back to her senses, a little embarrassed, and hastily pulled a bank card from her bag.

"This is my card."

The next morning, it was still the same spot.

Chen Xiao directly transferred the money to her using online banking.

Then he got up, letting Su Tang take over the operation.

"Mr. Chen, how should we buy? How much leverage should we add?"

Chen Xiao glanced at his phone.

"May 31st, Yamaiju's highest increase was 8.91%."

"Find Yamaiju and let me see."

Su Tang followed his instructions and found Yamaiju. Today's market trend was -7.99%, and its recent performance wasn't good.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to buy Yamaiju? I heard this company's operational status hasn't been very good recently, and a large batch of supplier payments are due for settlement this month. If a cash flow risk occurs, the stock price might plummet."

Su Tang kindly shared the information she had obtained from the investment company with Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao frowned in thought.

However, he wasn't thinking about whether the company had risks, but rather at what price it would be suitable to sell.

After all, applying leverage meant it couldn't be kept completely confidential.

Investment companies monitor accounts to prevent liquidation risk.

If he sold at the highest point every time, it would be too suspicious.

"That's the one. Ten times leverage, buy in with the full position."

Su Tang's eyes instantly widened. "Ten times leverage? And buy in with the full position?"

She had never seen such a brutal operation.

Typically, traders build positions by looking for opportunities to buy in gradually during the day's market fluctuations to average out costs.

Who just goes all-in right away? This isn't trading stocks; it's gambling!

It was even a high-stakes gamble with almost no chance of winning.

"Yes, that's right," Chen Xiao confirmed.

"Mr. Chen, although the money is yours, I must remind you that doing this carries too high a risk."

"With just a five percent drop, the company will initiate forced liquidation. If it drops ten percent, you'll be liquidated, and you won't get a single cent back from your 100,000 principal..."

Chen Xiao smiled. As he spoke, Yamaiju dropped further, now at -8.08%. Looking at the trading volume, there was a strong trend towards hitting the lower limit.

If it hit the lower limit, then even if it opened with another lower limit tomorrow and then was pulled up to the upper limit, there would still only be a maximum of 10% downside.

"Hmm... you have a point."

Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could listen to others' advice.

Chen Xiao considered for a moment and said, "Then let's do a 90% position, leaving a 10% safety margin."

"Pfft..."

Su Tang, who was drinking her beverage, promptly spat it out.

A 10% safety margin? How safe!
