The goal is not even two million.
Chen Xiao walked to the main gate, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Xuelin Yayuan.
Following Yu Mengqi's directions, he knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Yu Mengqi, dressed in a white light-gauze dress, looked gracefully slender.
"You're here! Come in quickly and see our new home."
When Chen Xiao heard "our," he couldn't help but frown.
"Our... new home?"
He looked around, then said, "Hmm, your... place here is nice, very good, I'm very satisfied."
"Hehe, thank you."
"You're welcome. The stockings I gave you... do you like them?"
"Yes, I like them. Valentino, it's my favorite brand," Yu Mengqi said.
Chen Xiao smiled, "Good, as long as you like them. So... how about you try on a pair for me to see?"
Yu Mengqi paused, "Now, right now?"
"Yes, that's right."
Chen Xiao sat on the sofa, watching with interest.
Yu Mengqi's face reddened slightly.
"Okay, I'll go get my high heels."
She was the campus belle of Jinning University of Science and Technology.
She had a tall figure and long, slender legs.
Dressed in an outfit that already maximized her attack speed, she became even more dazzling.
...
In the evening, Chen Xiao strolled alone in the night, walking towards Jinning University.
The streetlights stretched his shadow long.
But with a gust of wind, it swayed slightly...
Back at the dormitory,
Liu Xin was studying the stock market. Seeing Chen Xiao return, he mocked, "Stop acting all high and mighty with me. Didn't you go on a date with a girl? Why are you back already?"
Chen Xiao smiled, "Finished having fun, came back to play games with you."
"Get lost, I need to make money, no time to play with you."
Chen Xiao pouted and kicked open the boys' dormitory door again.
Ten minutes later, Liu Xin, red-faced and red-necked, cursed loudly outside the dorm room.
"Damn it! Sons, come back and defend! Our home was f*cking stolen by Chen Xiao, that dog!"
...
The next day—
Chen Xiao, having tasted the sweetness of exercise, woke up half an hour early to work out.
By the time Xia Yudie arrived at the track, Chen Xiao was already drenched in sweat.
As Chen Xiao passed by, Xia Yudie shouted loudly, "Chen Xiao, so early today!"
Chen Xiao waved to her and continued running.
Her pleasant loli voice immediately attracted the attention of a large group of 'beasts'.
Chen Xiao ran five kilometers in one go today before slowly stopping. After doing a few sets of stretches, he took Xia Yudie to have breakfast.
"Yu Die, you don't have to come with me every day."
"I do! If I don't come, who will bring you water? Who will wipe your sweat? During this time, you belong to me!"
Chen Xiao: "..."
"Then can you go to bed earlier? How can you keep staying up every day like this?"
"Uh... okay. Here, eat this egg." Saying this, Xia Yudie placed a peeled egg in Chen Xiao's bowl.
"Hmm, you eat too."
...
After Chen Xiao returned to the dormitory and washed up, Liu Xin was still asleep, and Xiao Ji hadn't returned, so he went downstairs in a vest and shorts.
Downstairs in Building 6, Li Wenli had been waiting for a long time with clothes in hand. Seeing Chen Xiao come down, she gently wrapped his upper body with her jacket, then, when no one was looking, she kissed him on the side of his face before letting him go.
Chen Xiao arrived at the company at nine o'clock. Yu Mengqi woke up after a full 12 hours of sleep.
Upon waking, she found that aside from the room being a bit messy from the previous night's madness, Chen Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
The slightest movement made her whole body ache...
Perhaps it was over-exercising that caused muscle strain; all the after-effects came knocking today.
However, looking around the spacious house, Yu Mengqi felt happy.
It was fully furnished with appliances, infinitely better than eight people squeezed into bunk beds in the dormitory.
She lay on her back on the bed, exhaled a long breath, her face full of enjoyment.
When she picked up her phone, she found a stack of money underneath, and instantly perked up.
After counting, it was exactly two thousand, and there was also a note underneath with a single sentence written on it.
"[Buy something delicious]"
Yu Mengqi excitedly held up the banknotes, shouting happily.
"Yay~~"
...
In this era, Chen Xiao didn't quite grasp how much happiness two thousand yuan could bring someone.
His goal today was not two thousand, nor even two million.
Upon arriving at the office, Wang Peng and Xiao Xu were discussing the day's market conditions.
Chen Xiao walked in with a relaxed expression.
"Don't be nervous, just do as I say."
"Yes, boss."
Wang Peng and Xiao Xu immediately picked up their notebooks to record.
Chen Xiao said, "Start liquidating Canglan Wine when it rises to 7.5%. Start liquidating Hualiang Industry when it rises to 8.6%."
After Wang Peng and Xiao Xu noted it down, the morning market opened.
The two instantly entered work mode and began to arrange the liquidation.
Chen Xiao, meanwhile, walked into his office, had Dong Xuewen brew a pot of tea, and happily began drinking it.
Both stocks had hit their daily limit yesterday, and today's morning market also opened higher.
Although there were market makers suppressing the stock price, under the multi-party siege, the price was still pushed up.
An hour later, the stock Xiao Xu was responsible for reached its liquidation point, and he immediately got busy.
Wang Peng watched anxiously from the side; the market maker on his side was much stronger and was still struggling relentlessly.
Perhaps those who were indirectly shorting through institutions were about to get margin called, so they were desperately selling off.
But among the vast number of retail investors, there were also experts. Seeing significant positive news and potential profits for a period of time, they wouldn't tolerate the market makers.
However much they dumped, the retail investors bought.
Under Wang Peng's anxious gaze, the stock price finally slowly crept up to the liquidation point.
Without a word, he instantly became an accomplice in the sell-off.
This move also enraged the bulls, who frantically snapped up shares. Wang Peng, coming from behind, actually completed the liquidation a step ahead of Xiao Xu.
Just before 11 o'clock, Xiao Xu also finished his work.
The two compiled their results and sent them to Su Tang for the boss's review.
Chen Xiao saw the general transaction process through the screen in his office.
He only received the specific data after the compiled message was submitted.
