Chapter 145: Zhuo Wenyuan's Misstep

Chen Yang wanted to get out of Deputy Mayor Xu Li's dinner gathering, but Lin Wei didn't give him a chance.

"It's rare for the boss to treat someone to a meal; you have to give her this face. Otherwise, she won't care about your company's future affairs."

"Besides, this time they didn't just invite you; they also invited Manager Liu."

Chen Yang heard that Liu Shijie would also be going, so he could only agree. Because even if he refused Xu Li, Liu Shijie would surely drag him along as a companion. Meeting Xu Li then would be even more awkward.

After Lin Wei went to work, Chen Yang continued to watch the market. The buy orders he had placed at the limit-down price for Yun Cheng Bio and Xingcheng Heavy Industry had all been executed. The capital outflow for both stocks exceeded 100 million.

However, after Chen Yang's round of bottom-fishing, Yun Cheng Bio's stock price rebounded to twenty yuan. Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock price also rebounded to eighteen point three yuan.

At this point, Chen Yang still had no intention to sell. He decided to wait and see the market's reaction. If someone pushed the price up, he would sell a little; if no one did, he would continue to lurk.

As for Xinfei Technology, after Chen Yang took over Wang Yichen's three million shares, it began to gradually rise. Not long after the afternoon opening, capital placed large buy orders. The price rose from twelve point four yuan to thirteen point zero two yuan, gaining a full five points.

Chen Yang checked the Dragon Tiger List; the largest inflow of funds was from Xingcheng Securities. This indicates that Qi Yunxiang is also following his operation. If more big capital follows later, Xinfei Technology is very likely to hit both the lower and upper limits in a single day.

That was quite comfortable.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang had no idea that Zhuo Wenyuan and his team at Dongjiang Securities were also keeping an eye on this Xinfei Technology stock.

"Damn it, when someone places a limit-down order, I said we could take it. You didn't listen and insisted on staring at Yun Cheng Bio." Huang Bai Ming was extremely annoyed; he had been watching Xinfei Technology for a week. Every time he wanted to bottom-fish, Zhuo Wenyuan told him to wait a bit longer. In the end, someone else got there first.

"I thought Chen Yang would run first, wanting to beat him and dump his shares." Zhuo Wenyuan was also embarrassed; he dumped half of his Yun Cheng shares, but Chen Yang's side showed no movement. This frantic selling drove the price down sharply, and nobody was willing to take it at a high price.

"You're so petty. How big is Chen Yang's position? Even if he ran ahead, how much could it affect? Now we're all making less money, both sides lose—what's the point?" Yexin also didn't understand Zhuo Wenyuan's behavior.

Zhuo Wenyuan explained: "It's because Manager Huang and the others keep saying Chen Yang is untrustworthy, running off without a greeting. I'm not doing this to help you vent; I just wanted to give him a lesson..."

Yexin asked: "Did you manage to teach him a lesson?"

Zhuo Wenyuan immediately fell silent.

Yexin continued: "Manager Zhuo, you've always been rational; lately you've been acting strange. Also, do you have a grudge against Chen Yang? If so, tell me and I'll help you resolve it."

Zhuo Wenyuan immediately shook his head and denied: "We don't have any grudge."

Yexin's face instantly darkened. "If you have no grudge, why are you picking a fight with him? Are you sick in the head?"

"Manager Yexin, you don't like him either, do you? Here you're the one who scolds him the most." Zhuo Wenyuan muttered a reply. Among these people, the one he finds hardest to read and dares not offend is Yexin.

"He's my brother‑in‑law; what's wrong with me saying a few harsh words? Do you think it's your place to tell me what to do?" Yexin gave Zhuo Wenyuan a cold stare. "If you don't want to help us make money properly, we can replace you."

"Manager Yexin, sorry." Upon hearing that Yexin wanted to replace him, Zhuo Wenyuan turned pale and immediately swore: "Next time I will definitely focus on studying stocks and have no ulterior motives whatsoever."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Yexin's expression softened a bit, and she immediately reminded him: "Remember this. Regarding Chen Yang, this is the one and only time; it must not happen again."

Zhuo Wenyuan immediately said: "Manager Yexin, rest assured, there will definitely not be a second time."

Yexin gave a slight nod, then turned her head to look at the stocks. Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Feiyang were also startled by Yexin's sudden change of attitude and dared not speak.

The entire large-client room at Dongjiang Securities fell silent at once. After a while, Zhuo Wenyuan broke the silence and asked Manager Yexin: "Should we push Yun Cheng Bio back up so Chen Yang can unload his shares?"

"No!" Yexin shook her head. "Since he didn't run, he must have his reasons."

Huang Bai Ming seized the moment to say: "Why not study Xinfei Technology instead? This stock has already started rebounding; I think we can chase it."

Zhuo Wenyuan looked at Xinfei Technology's Dragon Tiger List trading record, hesitated a bit, and said: "Today's most active funds in Xinfei Technology are all on Xingcheng Securities' side—could someone be helping Wang Yichen push the price up to unload?"

Huang Bai Ming said: "Even if it's price‑supporting to unload, it doesn't matter. At this price, if we take it over we'll definitely make a profit."

Zhuo Wenyuan then turned to Manager Yexin and carefully asked: "Manager Yexin, what's your opinion?"

Yexin replied: "I don't care; you buy, I'll buy."

Zhuo Wenyuan was still undecided. After thinking a while, he said to Manager Yexin: "Manager Yexin, why don't you call Chen Yang to see if there's any inside information?"

Yexin gave him a sideways glance and snorted coldly: "After what you've done today, do I still have the face to call him?"

Zhuo Wenyuan gave an embarrassed laugh again. He actually envied Chen Yang quite a bit—that guy never studies technology, just buys whatever he wants, and whatever he buys makes money. He's practically a child of fortune.

He tried to use capital power to suppress Chen Yang, but it not only had no effect, it also offended Yexin.

Moreover, he never expected Yexin to care so much about this suddenly appearing Chen Yang. This is completely different from the information he had understood.

"Let's just keep bottom‑fishing Yun Cheng Bio!" Xinfei Technology, I always feel it's unreliable. They have so much negative news; after the quarterly report comes out, it'll probably drop again.

Zhuo Wenyuan waved his hand and finally made a decision. He firmly believed that Xinfei Technology was just Wang Yichen's people pushing the price up to unload.

Huang Bai Ming angrily pounded his desk, but in the end he followed Zhuo Wenyuan and bought back into Yun Cheng Bio.

"Holy shit, Chen Yang ran!" Zhuo Wenyuan had been watching Chen Yang's account. He thought Chen Yang wasn't there, never expecting the other side to have been lurking all along. As soon as the stock hit the limit‑up, he immediately fled.

"Is it strange that he ran?" Yexin laughed at his reaction. "The point is we made less money."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Wenyuan lowered his head in shame. He had to admit this was a blemish on his career.

While Zhuo Wenyuan was still blaming himself, Huang Bai Ming suddenly exclaimed: "Holy crap, Xinfei Technology hit the limit‑up! I'm furious—I told you it could rise, but you wouldn't listen."
