Chapter 501: Chapter 492: What Are You Barking About?
The next day, Tianchen Technologyâs stock had already risen by four dollars. With his recommendation and the online buzz, this stock was truly standing out in a field of poor performers.
While other stocks were falling, this one not only didnât drop but continued to climb. Many retail investors who trusted his advice to buy the stock were grinning from ear to ear.
But what they didnât know was that the reason they could still smile was mainly due to the stock withdrawal operations conducted by Wen Nanqing and others.
If those large funds hadnât started to withdraw, the stock price would have been pushed even higher. But those institutions would have dumped their shares anytime, leaving these retail investors to be harvested like leeks again.
The reason they hadnât sold off was that, as Shen Yi and other major players began to pull out, those institutions hadnât made profits yet. They could only grit their teeth to maintain the stock price, increase investment, and buy up the sold shares.
Su Qing was using such operations to indirectly control the balance of this stock.
They couldnât all pull out at once because a large funding gap would alert those financial institutions that these major players had received some wind of danger, causing them to close the net early.
He was now using this method to restore Tianchen Technologyâs stock to the state it was in before Tang Nan and other major players entered, which would stabilize the stock price.
As for what happens next and how things develop, thatâs not his concern. Although these matters have nothing to do with him, itâs always better to be cautious and not give anyone a handle to grasp.
The next day, at the company.
"Wow, Brother Wang, youâre really something now. You actually have so many people working under you!" Su Qing entered the publicity department to find that the once-empty office was completely transformed with all the necessary desks and even five young people working diligently at their computers.
"What do you mean âBrotherâ? President Su, just call me Little Wang, hehe!"
Seeing him come in, Old Wang couldnât help but laugh, as if heâd seen a god of wealth, and quickly greeted him.
Not to mention, under his girlfriend Feng Yanâs training, he was now quite attentive to social niceties, but of course, only towards him and Da Huang.
After all, ever since some time ago when he came out of Shen Yiâs office and spat, Feng Yan had guessed that their relationship was unusual. By now, she was almost certain they were dating.
In that case, how could Feng Yan not give her boyfriend some private advice? She couldnât just let him cluelessly offend people, right?
She also instructed him to watch his mouth and not babble everything out.
Hearing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes. He used to call him Brother Wang, and the other party would insist on being called Old Wang. Now, Old Wang didnât even use his name and asked to be called Little Wang. It was the most obvious brown-nosing heâd ever seen.
Seeing him not respond, Old Wang continued, "Youâre not the same as before. Who wouldâve thought youâd sneak your way to the top of life? I thought I was impressive for getting Little Yan, but youâve outdone us all!"
As he spoke, Old Wang winked at him, showing a cheeky, wannabe-punchable face.
Knowing he couldnât hide it from this old lamp, he didnât try to cover it up. In fact, it wasnât so much hiding from him as it was Feng Yan, the shrewd one, who had him pegged. Luckily, they knew to keep it to themselves, so there was no need to worry.
"Looks like Sister Fengâs been giving you plenty of advice!"
"Of course, as for Da Huang, rest assured. Even if I just get the leftovers, itâs fine, but no kiddingâDa Huangâs been so busy lately that itâs getting moody."
"In that case, take on less work. We canât rely on it to make money, right?"
"You think everyoneâs as talented as you, the Great Stock God? Iâm counting on Da Huang for a commission. But thanks to you, me and Sister Feng earned a little extra!"
Hearing this, Su Qing had a bad feeling creeping up, "Wait, you donât mean..."
"Ta-da! Look, Tianchen Technology. Both Sister Feng and I invested fifty thousand each, and weâve already made almost twenty thousand in just a few days. Itâs amazing! Thereâs more money than we can spend. If I wasnât worried about losing her savings, I wouldâve bet everything!"
Admittedly, they did have some funds. After all, theyâd been working in the capital for several years, so it was expected theyâd have savings.
Seeing this, he hurriedly pulled Old Wang to a corner outside and whispered for a while until he finally got him to withdraw the money.
"My God, if you hadnât said anything, I wouldnât have known there was so much intrigue in all this!" Old Wang said, visibly relieved.
"In the future, donât randomly buy those things. Just earn your money honestly. Your income isnât low, and Iâm waiting to attend your wedding with Sister Feng. Any news yet?"
Hearing this, Old Wang nodded, "This yearâs Spring Festival, Iâm taking her to my hometown. Iâm not young anymore, so if everything goes as planned, probably next year."
"Then thatâs settled."
As the two talked, a young man with glasses came over, "Brother Wang, the video is ready. Do you want to come over and check it out?"
"Just send it to my phone."
"Got it!"
Soon, Old Wang received a video of Da Huang doing some stylish points, alongside a model dressed in black stockings.
"So, how is it? Not bad, right?" Old Wang asked.
He glanced over and found it indeed impressive. The video editing, music, and rhythm timing were almost perfect.
"Not bad. Is this your handiwork?"
"Of course, all of Da Huangâs videos are handled by me now. I just have my team tweak the colors and lighting. Sent it to you, so make sure to update. No worries, Iâve got it covered!"
He didnât decline Old Wangâs offer. Life is all about reciprocity, after all. Da Huang provided Old Wang with a nice commission, and Old Wang helped edit the videos for updates. Itâs a win-win collaboration for them.
Soon, the video was uploaded, and the comments section was quickly flooded with people.
"Bro, bro, your dear sister is here!"
Unexpectedly, the first comment was actually from Su Heâs account.
"Gotcha!"
"Yo, isnât this the woman who canât tell front from back?"
"It really is! I thought being flat was the limit, but she managed to make me confused about the front and back of a woman, awesome!"
Ever since a few days ago, when Su Heâs livestream went viral, it was as if she had found the secret to gaining traffic. She became the ultimate "flat chest" sensation online and even created a few short videos around this theme, which were well-received.
But more people came to discuss stocks, especially since Tianchen Technologyâs stock has been soaring recently, gaining a lot of attention.
"Stock God is amazing, already made a small profit of 20k!"
"Not much capital, made 400, watching you all make money is making me grit my teeth."
"Must be a student, a little profit is good enough!"
"Even given the opportunity, you couldnât take it."
"Stock God, is it still a good time to enter the market now?"
"Come on, sure profit!"
Su Qing didnât even bother to read those comments. After chatting with Old Wang for a while, he got the video and returned to Shen Yiâs office, nodding to Wolong and Fengchu on the way.
"Sorry, President Hu, regarding what you mentioned yesterday, he considered it and asked me to apologize to you. Because this matter has become a big deal, he doesnât plan to recommend stocks anymore."
As soon as he came in, he heard Shen Yi on the phone with someone. As expected, she was declining the person from the previous day.
Seeing him come in, Shen Yi instinctively turned on the speakerphone on her phone.
It wasnât that she wanted him to listen; it was just an instinctive action when speaking to another man in front of her boyfriend.
Though this was a small detail, Su Qing had to admit he appreciated it. Love isnât so noble; itâs a simple, pure desire for possession.
Without even the desire for possession, whatâs the point of talking about love? Perhaps love exists, but that kind of love is too noble. They havenât reached that level; theyâre both cautious about this relationship.
"Miss Shen, is Mr. Su unhappy with our terms? Are there any terms we can negotiate on? We..."
Before he could finish, Shen Yi interrupted, "Thatâs not the case, President Hu. Itâs just that he doesnât want to recommend stocks for now. Please understand."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liangcai took a deep breath and spoke again, "If thatâs the case, I wonder if Miss Shen could give me Mr. Suâs contact details. Iâd like to reach out to him personally. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi instinctively glanced at him.
To this, Su Qing shook his head. He hated dealing with people who were all about deception and schemes, it was too exhausting. Of course, it also had to do with his personality. Simply put, heâs not someone who could do business.
"This... Iâm afraid itâs inconvenient. He rejected it quite bluntly yesterday. From my side..."
Actually, by this point, she had clearly expressed her refusal. Any normal person would know not to pursue further.
But maybe the stakes were too high, and Hu Liangcai became a bit anxious.
"Miss Shen, itâs just a contact detail, isnât it unnecessary to be so harsh? Besides, weâre all in the same circle. Isnât it a bit too disrespectful? Maybe thereâs still a chance for us to cooperate in the future, donât you think?"
Upon hearing these words, Shen Yiâs expression changed, and she said seriously, "From what President Hu is saying, if I donât give you the contact details, itâs my fault?"
"Miss Shen, doing business isnât like that, I..."
"Are you telling me how to do my job?"
Hu Liangcai: ???
"Thatâs not what I meant. I just wanted to say weâre all in the internet circle. I just want Mr. Suâs contact. I envy you for being able to do it; we want to do it too. I donât intend to cause any unpleasantness with you, Miss Shen," Hu Liangcaiâs temper flared too.
After all, he was a deputy general manager of a company, equivalent to the second-in-command. Being rebuked like this, itâs only natural to have some temper, right?
But he didnât expect Shen Yiâs attitude regarding matters about Su Qing to be so determined. She directly shot back with:
"Are you threatening me?"
With this comment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
On the other side, Hu Liangcai was stunned. Miss, itâs just a contact detail, do you have to explode like a powder keg at the slightest provocation?
In his view, someone who could grow a company to this size isnât necessarily highly capable but surely a well-rounded individual. Why does it feel like facing a post-2000 generation?
But since Shen Yi had already spoken to this extent, he couldnât possibly apologize. After all, everyone has their status. In his eyes, Shen Yi wasnât an impressive character; theyâre on equal footing, no need to fear offending each other. Besides, in terms of the companyâs scale, they have an edge.
"If thatâs how Miss Shen understands it, then so be it. Our Huayue does have that level of capability. At worst, we can compete and see whoâs more capable!"
Hearing this, Shen Yi, naturally hot-tempered, wouldnât tolerate this. Just as she was about to retort, Su Qing took the phone and said:
"What the hell are you barking about?"
