Test each other

“I want to borrow some,” Chen Xiao said.

“Are you short on cash? I’ll transfer you five hundred,” Sun Ying said.

Chen Xiao shook his head. “I need a sum of money for short-term use.”

A sum of money, clearly not three or five hundred.

“How much do you… need?”

Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly. “How much do you have?”

Sun Ying slapped his thigh. “Who borrows money like that? Would you borrow it even if I had a hundred million?”

Chen Xiao thought for a moment. “Then I’ll borrow… 50,000.”

Sun Ying stared at Chen Xiao with wide eyes for a long time, as if trying to glean some information from his gaze.

However, Chen Xiao maintained his smile, making her unable to figure him out.

After a long while, Sun Ying gave in and whispered, “Send me your card number. I must have owed you in my past life, you scoundrel.”

Chen Xiao was startled. “You’re really lending it?”

Sun Ying was a little annoyed. “You ungrateful brat, are you testing me?”

“Uh… no, no, I just didn’t expect you to have so much money.”

Sun Ying pinched the soft flesh around his waist and twisted it. “Don’t change the subject. Whether you borrow this money today or not, you have to keep it for me for two days!”

She was no pushover either. If Chen Xiao was testing her, why wasn’t she testing Chen Xiao?

If she could understand a person for 50,000 yuan, it would be much more cost-effective than using 500,000 or even 5 million in the future.

Sun Ying’s vision for her future was far beyond that.

Chen Xiao: “…”

Holy cow, this works too?

He can borrow money like this?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

“Alright, alright, I’ll borrow it, okay?”

He checked the time; it was just two-thirty. Liaodong Technology was still stuck on the limit-down. Chen Xiao directly sent his card number.

Sun Ying pulled Chen Xiao out from the back, attracting the attention of many people besides the teacher.

This included Tan Cheng, even though she didn't like Chen Xiao at all.

But when a lapdog that always tries to please you suddenly turns to please others, even if you don't like the dog, you'll feel like someone has taken it away from you.

Tan Cheng probably felt something like that.

Ji Yuzheng, on the other hand, was different. The images of Chen Xiao and Sun Ying in his mind had already overlapped with those from adult films.

“Damn it! In broad daylight, how shameless!” Ji Yuzheng cursed under his breath and casually picked up his phone.

Downstairs in the teaching building, Sun Ying went to the business outlet and directly transferred the money to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao also didn't stand on ceremony, transferring it directly to his stock account and then buying Liaodong Technology with his entire position.

“You ungrateful brat, you took my money, how are you going to thank me?” Sun Ying said in a very seductive voice.

“Cough cough… you’ll see my actions the day after tomorrow.”

Sun Ying nodded in satisfaction. She thought Chen Xiao meant he would work harder in bed, but she had misunderstood.

Chen Xiao planned to take out tomorrow’s earnings and buy her a gift, as he was currently using Sun Ying to gain pleasure from taking revenge on Xing Yanqing.

…

Five minutes before the market closed that day, Liaodong Technology indeed released good news. In a few minutes, the stock price rose from the limit-down to the opening price, and then trading stopped when the afternoon session ended.

The next morning,

After the market opened, Liaodong Technology continued to rise, and soon hit the limit-up.

Chen Xiao cleared his position without hesitation.

The principal for this transaction was 14,100, with a 20% increase. After selling, the total was 16,920, with a profit of over 2,800 yuan.

And the 50,000 yuan Sun Ying lent him had now turned into 60,000.

So, Chen Xiao’s total funds were 76,920, almost 80,000 yuan.

Deducting Sun Ying’s 50,000 and Liu Xin’s 5,000, his own share was 21,900 yuan.

For Chen Xiao in his previous life, over 20,000 yuan might not be much, but if it was earned in a few days, that was completely different.

Moreover, he had one more opportunity to operate with these funds tomorrow, and they wouldn't be returned until next Monday.

Chen Xiao quickly looked at his phone screen, and sure enough, new messages had refreshed.

[May 27th, Zui Manxiang’s maximum increase is 8.5%]

This time it wasn’t a limit-up, but when Chen Xiao found this stock, he was equally excited.

Because Zui Manxiang also opened limit-down today.

Chen Xiao immediately went all-in, using all his funds to buy Zui Manxiang.

There was no need for any investigation or understanding.

Chen Xiao didn't even know what business Zui Manxiang was in.

He had no interest in it at all and didn't want to know.

After buying everything, the stock, as expected, also released major positive news. The limit-down was instantly broken, and it rose all the way up.

After the transaction, he exited the interface and casually browsed some interesting things.

Shen Jiancheng came in from outside with a cigarette in his mouth and offered one to Chen Xiao.

Ji Yuzheng watched for a long time and realized that Shen Jiancheng had no intention of giving him one.

So he could only dig out the cigarette he had hidden under the keyboard last night and light it for himself.

“Where’s Liu Xin?” Shen Jiancheng asked.

“I don’t know, he went out early this morning.”

Shen Jiancheng pondered for a moment. “What’s wrong with him these past few days? He’s not quite right, always distracted.”

Chen Xiao was startled, guessing that Liu Xin was probably struggling internally about whether or not to make a move in the stock market.

He wasn't very concerned about it; it didn't matter whether Liu Xin did it or not, his small amount of money wouldn't lose much anyway.

“It’s nothing. He’s probably just feeling amorous. Xiao Ji watches those films every day, probably got him all riled up.”

“Hahaha, holy cow, what should we do then? Introduce him to a girlfriend?”

“Damn it.” Xiao Ji, upon hearing “game” or “film,” turned his head as if a keyword had been detected and said, “Liu Xin just lacks self-control. Look at me, I stay calm and steady, that’s what’s awesome.”

Shen Jiancheng directly slapped the cigarette pack on his desk. “Bullshit. I’m putting this pack of cigarettes here. If you’re so capable, don’t smoke it.”

Xiao Ji paused. “Fine, you put it here. Just watch me not smoke it, that’s all. It’s just cigarettes, what’s the big deal?”

“You’re awesome. I’ll see when I get back tonight,” Shen Jiancheng said. “Let’s go eat.”

Chen Xiao watched them bicker with a smile. “Let’s go. Do you want me to bring you some food?”

Ji Yuzheng, seeing Shen Jiancheng there, suddenly felt emboldened.

“No need, I’ll go down and eat later.”

“Alright, then let’s go.”

Chen Xiao and Shen Jiancheng left the dormitory one after another.

Ji Yuzheng squinted at the cigarette pack. When the two walked away, he grabbed it.

“You motherf*cker! You damn Shen Jiancheng, it’s empty, play with your mom!”

…

On the way downstairs, Shen Jiancheng was still complaining, “What do you think will happen to Xiao Ji, this kind of guy, in the future?”

Chen Xiao smiled. “Some people are cured by their childhood for a lifetime, while others spend a lifetime curing their childhood.”

Shen Jiancheng was startled. “What gibberish is that? I think he’s hopeless.”

“He’s not your son, why care so much? Where are we eating?” Chen Xiao didn’t want to dwell on Xiao Ji’s problem; there were reasons for his current personality.

Shen Jiancheng thought for a moment. “Come on, I’ll take you to the first cafeteria.”

With that, he walked towards his second-hand motorcycle.

Shen Jiancheng came from a good family, with 2,000 yuan in living expenses per month, but he only bought a 1,000 yuan second-hand scooter for daily commuting.

Jinning University’s campus was too large; sometimes, he had to take the campus shuttle bus to class.

Unlike Xiao Ji, who spent an entire semester’s living expenses on a motorcycle just for so-called face.

This led to him living off communal meals for an entire semester.

Arriving at the first cafeteria, Shen Jiancheng ordered two stir-fries, got two bottles of beer, and the two sat down to chat.

“Hey? Xiao Zi, your goddess is over there.”
