Chapter 506: Chapter 497: The Modern God of Wealth
Sure, hereâs the translation:

Not just one person can predict the stock market trend; online, on TV, there are often some so-called economic experts, big influencers making guesses there.
After all, whether it goes up or down is fifty-fifty. If theyâre right, people wonât be too surprised. If theyâre wrong, at most, thereâs just a sigh, thinking that the personâs name is all show.
But Su Qing is different. That day, he precisely predicted the future trend of Tianchen Technologyâs stock for the next week.
When it would rise, when it would fall, he even reminded everyone to do short-term trades, not to be blinded by money, giving the impression he was using cheats with a godly perspective.
Before yesterday, because the stock price soared, many who believed Su Qing and bought stocks thought prices wouldnât suddenly crash and planned to be greedy for more, thinking that he also mentioned about a week, not realizing it might happen soon.
But who wouldâve thought the crash would come so suddenly, leaving no time to react.
Many people were terrified when they saw the situation in the morning, immediately selling off their stocks. Those who entered early didnât earn much but didnât lose either, but those who entered later suffered.
They were pounding their chests and stomping their feet, thinking their luck was bad.
Before buying, stocks were rising quickly, and everyone told them: "Come on, people are foolish, and thereâs lots of money here; come quickly, make money while lying down."
But once they truly entered the market, they found stock prices had plummeted, assets shrank significantly, and instantly felt theyâd walked into a big trap.
Because of his accurate prediction, he appeared on the front pages of major websites, solidifying his title as âStock God,â creating a trend of maybe getting recognized globally.
Especially his comment section, it was lively.
"Stock God, I regret not listening to you. Can you recommend another stock for us? I promise not to be greedy this time!"
"Me too, most of my familyâs money is gone, my wife doesnât even know yet, how should I explain it!"
"Hahaha, old fans are lying down comfortably now, while new fans are crying regretfully!"
"Student here, bought one share, earned over 600 in a week, feeling great, got enough money to buy cigarettes online! Canât spend it all, canât spend it at all!"
"Followers who listened to advice sold early; though it canât buy a car or a house, it added tens of thousands to savings, feeling great, treating myself at Platinum Harbor, tech 3 for a reward tonight!"
"Profiteers donât envy at all, put it this way, a car worth over a hundred thousand is now mine, awesome!"
"Got the five gold pieces for the fiancĂ©e, thanks to Stock Godâs generosity!"
"Damn, I lost 4000!"
"You only lost four thousand, I lost twenty thousand, damn!"
"Money God, Iâve burned incense for you, please recommend another stock for me [Image of Money God]"
"Burn together, burn together!"
"+1"
"Really a living Money God at that time, kneeling before Money God Temple wonât get up, donât care about Matrimony Temple at all!"
In the comment section, some were happy, some were sad, but fortunately, most of his fans still listened to advice; many made some profit.
After this event, the account [Qing and Huang] became completely viral, with followers surging by millions overnight, now reaching over six million, becoming a bona fide internet celebrity.
Even the growth in follower count hasnât slowed; once this buzz dies down, it might even approach tens of millions.
However, after these two incidents, his fan base isnât the same pure fans who liked Big Yellow, the variety has become somewhat mixed. There are pet fans who like Big Yellow, fans who like his looks, but mostly itâs the money worshippers, the money fans.
For a while, Su Qingâs title of âContemporary Money Godâ quickly went viral.
After all, no matter how many times you look at all the cats, dogs, handsome men, and beautiful women, theyâre not yoursâcats and dogs are in someone elseâs arms, the handsome guy might be fancied by some wealthy woman, the beautiful woman might be dining with some top-ranked guy tonightâbut following this host can really make you money, who could resist this.
It can be said that choosing to follow him was not because of any supposed attraction but driven by money. After all, nothing is more attractive than money.
There are still more ordinary people in this world; not everyone is uninterested in money.
While the Stock God controversy grows online, naturally, some arenât pleased, especially the financial institutions that had difficulty profiting and almost got trapped.
The most angry is Hu Liangcai, far away in the capital; he also noticed the message online, knowing Tianchen Technologyâs stock crashed, which strengthened Su Qingâs cohesion as âStock God.â
It can be foreseen if he speaks again, even if he recommends a completely green stock, the situation will surely reverse instantly.
But such a person canât be used by him, and they even had unpleasant interactions, which was indeed the toughest, making his heart bleed.
When the general manager learned about it yesterday, he was criticized jointly by Dong Huidongâs people, almost cursing him severely.
But what does this have to do with him? Heâs just an executor; would they invest ten billion?
Now there are still people asking him to apologize and try to win over Su Qing again to continue the plan. Just thinking about it infuriates him.
Anyone with eyes can see this isnât feasible; itâs not about him being unable to lose face to apologize, itâs about Su Qing knowing the risks inside, obviously not falling for it, plus they donât want to divide such a big piece of cake, purely oppressing and disgusting him. Naturally, he wonât accept it but can only rage furiously in the office.
On the other side, Su Qing was sighing at home, for the first time not wanting himself to become popular. Although no related departments called him yet, the overwhelming public opinion did create pressure he couldnât explain.
Now, his account backend is full of 99+, even if he clears it, a second later, it becomes the same again. Private messages are nonstop, already affecting his normal use.
At this moment, Tang Nan called him on a video call, and he answered without thinking.
Soon, Tang Nanâs face appeared on the screen, and she cautiously asked, "Is Xiao Yi... not home?"
Su Qing: ...
"Sister, if youâve got something to say, just say it. We donât have that kind of relationship, so why do you care if sheâs home or not?"
"Uh... just a habit, just a habit!"
"A habit? You..." Su Qingâs voice immediately rose, feeling like heâd stumbled upon a juicy scandal in the entertainment industry.
Hearing this, Tang Nan realized her misstep: "Ahem, donât overthink it. Youâre young but have such vivid imagination. Itâs just because that woman at your house, Taihu, dares to say anything? Iâm still the demure Jade Girl of the entertainment world, okay!"
"Demure... but seductive? Are you demure or not?"
"Get out of here, jade as in white jade! Iâm not like your girlfriend, pure on the outside but filthy on the inside. Youâd better be careful, some women are as pure as can be, but once they get a boyfriend, they become seriously twisted."
Su Qing: ...
He kind of understood why Tang Nan asked if Shen Yi was home; these two, whenever they meet, itâs like a catfight, at the very least theyâre sharp-tongued. He doesnât even know how they became close friends.
"Whatâs up, tell me. Iâm annoyed!" Su Qing said weakly.
"Youâre annoyed? Youâve become a god now, what do you have to be annoyed about? Youâre like the Wealth God of our times. My friends who listened to me blew up my phone today, saying thank goodness they listened to you, otherwise they wouldâve lost a lot, unlike now where theyâve made profit. There are even many beautiful girls who want to meet you. Are you interested in coming to the capital and hanging out with your older sister here? Way more fun than hanging yourself on Xiao Yiâs crooked tree!" Tang Nan said with a laugh.
Earlier this morning, the stock price of Tianchen Technology plummeted, and Tang Nanâs friends who cashed out in time were elated, calling to express their gratitude.
When she found out, she was shocked. Is there really someone omniscient and all-powerful in this world? How can someone predict so accurately?
"Hang out with you and starve nine times in three days? No wonder you asked if Xiao Yi was home, if she heard that, sheâd probably book a ticket to the capital right now and challenge you to a real PK." Su Qing gave her a side-eye and spat.
"You think Iâm scared of her? The two of us one-on-one, you donât interfere, and who beats whom isnât certain!" Tang Nan replied defiantly.
At this, Su Qing couldnât be bothered to bicker with her and bluntly asked, "Did you call today just to talk about this? Anything else?"
"What? Canât I chat with you for no reason? Youâve forgotten your sister since you got a girlfriend, havenât you, you little ingrate? And to think, back then I let you ride the wave!"
"Hey, hey, hey, make it clear, I was riding the wave of your popularity!"
"Thatâs what I meant too, what did you think I was saying? Ah... you arenât thinking of riding..."
As she spoke, Tang Nan slowly lowered her head.
Su Qing: ...
The women around him were all trouble, either seasoned drivers or dirty queens.
Seeing him roll his eyes continuously, Tang Nan laughed until she trembled, her chest shaking uncontrollably. He really wanted to record it and upload it online, letting her fans see exactly what kind of person they were supporting.
"Alright, alright, Iâm done teasing you, letâs talk business. Some beauties around me really do want to make friends with you, so what do you say, find some time and do us the honor?" Tang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Qing was genuinely stunned, they were serious? He thought she was joking.
"Your friends... female celebrities in the entertainment industry?"
Tang Nan nodded: "Not just women, but there are quite a few girls, relax, their figures are each hotter than the last."
Hearing this, Su Qing gave her a side-eye: "Just tell me directly, what do they want to see me for?"
"Of course to make friends!"
"We donât even know each other, whatâs the point of being friends?"
"Oh come on, one meal and youâre strangers no more. Youâre a big man; afraid theyâll eat you?"
At this, Su Qing remained silent, just staring at her.
After a while, Tang Nan sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, actually they want to talk to you about stocks. You know, people like us have a bit of money but single income streams and donât know how to invest. They want you to manage their finances, are you interested?"
"Finance management? Donât people like you have specific financial agents?" Su Qing asked, somewhat perplexed.
After all, such things are no secret; some people are wealthy, but keeping money in a bank has low interest, naturally leading to the role of fund managers.
"Youâre talking about super-rich people, not those of us with just a bit of money. Those people have billions, we donât have the need or capability for that, and our money isnât that abundant yet. We donât know how to invest either, but now, theyâve made some money thanks to you, so they thought of this. It all depends on you now; if youâre interested, come to the capital, Iâll set it up, and we can meet."
With Tang Nan saying this, he naturally understood, but what he was thinking at that moment was keeping a low profile. After all, heâd already completed his initial capital accumulation, and it was best not to stir up trouble now, as it wouldnât be worth it, especially since the stock market wasnât great at the moment.
But just as he was about to refuse, a voiceover echoed in his mind.
[More friends mean more paths, those who take shortcuts will eventually become shortcuts]
Su Qing: ???
