They are all hungry and thin
In the morning, the buying frenzy from both sides kept the violently fluctuating stock price from dropping too much.
In the afternoon, the market gradually regained confidence, and the stock price even showed an upward trend.
After more than an hour of intense fighting, Wang Peng and Xiao Xu had basically completed their positions, and seeing that they could no longer be suppressed, they went all-in with their remaining money.
This acted like a fuse, and both stocks surged simultaneously, rising wildly.
Another institution was still buying, and under their leadership, countless retail investors followed.
Soon, the decline turned into a rise, and it continued to advance rapidly.
Wang Peng and Xiao Xu, exhausted to the point of collapse, looked at the trend with a bewildered expression.
"Boss, that's amazing!"
...
Completing the position before the market turned upward was a perfect victory.
Chen Xiao personally came to the trading room and said, "Well done, you've worked hard today, you can go home now."
Wang Peng and Xiao Xu were stunned, looking at the high sun outside.
"Bo-Boss, it's only a little past two..."
"I know. Su Tang got you two gym memberships downstairs. You can go swimming or work out if you have nothing to do."
The two were startled. The gym downstairs was a top-tier one, offering not only fitness and swimming but also many leisure and entertainment options, such as billiards, badminton, and bowling, all included in the membership card.
And it was said that they only sold annual cards, costing over ten thousand yuan each.
"Bo-Boss, it's fine for us to just jog in the neighborhood. There's no, no need for a gym membership."
Just then, Su Tang returned, and Chen Xiao said, "See? It's already done, and it can't be refunded. Hurry up and go."
Only then did the two accept it.
However, not long after, the two secretly ran back, checked the trend, and seeing that it had hit the daily limit and the market had closed, they finally felt relieved enough to go play at the gym downstairs.
With a driver, Su Tang no longer needed to drive.
She sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Xiao sat in the back.
The brand new Mercedes-Benz E300L drove on the Changteng River Bridge.
The setting sun shone on the river, creating shimmering waves.
Their destination for this trip was Jinning Normal University, a place where a karmic entanglement from his previous life began.
Chen Xiao looked for a while, then withdrew his gaze and pulled out his phone to call Tang Shaofei.
"Hello? Tang Ge? Are you busy?"
"My little brother, I'm never busy when you call, I'm just in bed... cough cough, don't pinch me... uh... so, what's up?"
Chen Xiao smiled, knowing Xiao Mei must be beside him.
"It's like this, I want to buy a car that needs to be imported through parallel channels. Do you have any friends who do this?"
"Oh, parallel import, huh? I really do. I don't have many other friends, but I have a lot of car enthusiasts. What kind of car do you want? As long as it exists in the world, I can get it for you."
Chen Xiao: "That's great, I want a Volkswagen phaeton."
"Pfft..."
The person on the other end of the phone directly spat out his drink.
"I say, little brother, you're not old, but why do you keep getting these old man cars? Wouldn't a Porsche 911 be better if I got you one?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Tang Ge, listen to me, I'm still in school, right? It's too flashy and inconvenient to go in and out, so you understand."
"Oh, I see."
"Damn it, it's over!"
Chen Xiao was startled, "What's wrong?"
Tang Shaofei said, "Wait a moment."
Then he whispered, "Xiao Mei, go pour me a cup of tea."
After more than ten seconds, Tang Shaofei whispered, "I was planning for us brothers to cruise your school, but you, kid, are playing it low-key. It's ruined."
"Hahaha, is that so? It's fine, Tang Ge, before I graduate, I'll arrange something for you, there will definitely be an opportunity."
"Really? That's great. I love showing off at schools."
Chen Xiao was speechless. What kind of hobbies are these?
"Uh... so, little brother, what configuration do you want? I'll help you communicate it first. This car is rarely bought, so it needs to be custom-ordered."
"Hmm... I'll be driving it myself, so the top trim level will do."
"Alright, wait for my news."
The driver, Old Liu, who understood cars, looked at the Mercedes-Benz E300 that had only traveled over 300 kilometers and hadn't been driven much, yet it was already disliked by his boss.
He actually wanted to get a low-key luxury car worth two or three million yuan...
Su Tang didn't know much about cars. Seeing that Chen Xiao wanted to be low-key, she turned and said, "Boss, why don't you just drive my Lavida? It's low-key enough."
Driver Old Liu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but smile, "Su Tang, the low-key your boss wants... it's a bit different."
"Ah? How is it different?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Liu Ge, tell Su Tang what's different."
"Alright," Old Liu said, "The low-key your boss wants is worth nearly three million yuan."
Su Tang gasped sharply.
"Volkswagen has cars that expensive?"
"In my impression, the most expensive one seemed to be the Passat, right?"
Both of them: "..."
"It's okay, you'll know when we get there."
Just then, Chen Xiao's phone rang again.
His smile froze, and his breathing began to grow heavy.
Seeing her boss's unusual reaction, Su Tang immediately asked worriedly.
"Boss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "Liu Ge, pull over."
"Okay, Boss."
Old Liu confirmed that it was safe left and right, then drove into the service road and slowly pulled the car to a stop.
Chen Xiao opened the car door and got out, motioning for Su Tang, who was about to get out, to stay in the car.
He walked to the side of the road and, with trembling hands, pressed the answer button.
"Hello? You ungrateful brat, it took you so long to answer your old mother's call? What are you doing? You haven't called me in a month, are you trying to starve yourself?"
The voice on the other end was still scolding him relentlessly. Chen Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, cleared his dry throat, and slowly said, "Mom..."
The voice in the receiver abruptly stopped.
Then she asked worriedly, "Son, what's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Xiao composed himself, trying to speak calmly, "Ah, I'm fine, I just choked on a cigarette earlier."
"You little rascal, you scared your old mother to death. Hmm? Still smoking? Didn't I tell you to quit? With a mouth full of smoke, what girl would want to get close to you?"
Chen Xiao smiled as he listened to his mother's nagging through the phone.
In his previous life, the people he felt most sorry for were his family.
In the end, his parents sold their only house, borrowed from everyone they could, and fully supported the development of his company.
He never expected that in the end, that cheap woman would quietly take all of it to gamble on stocks and lose everything.
Wang Li was still nagging on the other end of the phone, and Chen Jianguo, Chen Xiao's father, grumbled discontentedly.
"You finally call once, why don't you ask your son if he needs money!"
Wang Li was startled, "Oh, oh, oh, right, you ungrateful brat, why didn't you ask me for living expenses this month? Do you still have money?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I was just about to call, and then you called, didn't you?"
"Yes, you don't call me, and I don't call you. When I call, you say that. Your whole body, only your mouth is good."
"Cough cough, hurry up and send the money, Mom, I'm almost starving."
As soon as Wang Li heard Chen Xiao say this, she quickly pushed Chen Jianguo.
"Still sitting there? Hurry up and go send money to your son! If he starves, I'm not done with you!"
Chen Jianguo was speechless. His son was deliberately feigning poverty; how could he possibly be starving?
Wang Li added, "Oh, and send two hundred more, let him eat something good, he's probably gotten thin from hunger."
Chen Xiao held the phone in front of him and looked. This wasn't a video call, was it? She could even tell he'd gotten thin from hunger?
