Chapter 146

Chen Yang sold 500,000 shares of Yuncheng Bio at the highest price (23.39 yuan), recovering funds of 11,694,000+ yuan. After deducting the 9,000,000 yuan cost, he still earned 2,664,000 yuan. This was considerably higher than his expected profit.

He still holds 3,000,000 shares of Xinfei Technology, 1,000,000 shares of Yuncheng Bio, and 2,000,000 shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry.

After the market closed, Xinfei Technology's share price rose to 15.16 yuan, Yuncheng Bio's share price rose to 23.69 yuan. Xingcheng Heavy Industry, because the purchase funds were lower than the sale funds, ended with a closing price of only 18.5 yuan.

With this result, Chen Yang was very satisfied. He originally wanted to call Zhuo Wenyuan to thank him for pulling the stock price back up. When he picked up his phone, he hesitated for a moment. Thinking the other party might misunderstand that he was showing off, he finally gave up.

After turning off the computer, Chen Yang called Liu Shijie and directly asked whether Deputy Mayor Xu Li had invited him to a meal.

Liu Shijie's voice was excited and enthusiastic: "Chen Yang, I was just about to call you! What do you think I should prepare as a gift for Mayor Xu Li? Why not ask your wife what the leader likes?"

Chen Yang politely refused: "I also find it inconvenient to ask. Last time I asked my wife to send her a set of cosmetics, and she was lectured for a while."

Liu Shijie didn't expect Xu Li to dislike receiving gifts, and he also had a headache: "If we don't prepare anything, wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to the leader?"

Chen Yang couldn't give an opinion, so he could only say: "Then just prepare something casually!"

"Well…" Liu Shijie suddenly felt embarrassed, and he asked Chen Yang: "What are you preparing?"

"None." Chen Yang said somewhat proudly: "I just invested 18 million yuan in her project, and she insisted on treating me."

"… You little brat, you're really rich!" Liu Shijie's voice sounded a bit sour, and he reminded Chen Yang: "When are you going to pay the first installment for the Qinghe Building?"

Chen Yang hurriedly said: "Brother, can we delay this a bit? I just bought 3,000,000 shares of Xinfei Technology today, and I'm a bit short on cash!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shijie immediately cursed: "Damn, you little brat, you're secretly getting rich again without me!"

Chen Yang helplessly said: "Brother, this isn't my fault; it's you who wanted to avoid conflict of interest!"

Liu Shijie said: "Now there's no need to avoid it; my uncle introduced them to a main board merchant from Treasure Island."

Chen Yang felt delighted inside: "Such good news, and you actually hid it?"

Liu Shijie immediately explained: "I haven't been idle; I was just about to tell you while we were going to eat!"

Chen Yang said: "Su Mingyue should be back in Xingcheng this weekend; let her handle it for you."

Liu Shijie had no objection: "Alright, I'll get busy first, and we'll talk again when we have dinner tonight!"

After Liu Shijie hung up, Chen Yang called the Qingshui Grand Hotel to book a private room. Then he sent a message to Lin Wei asking about Xu Li's dietary preferences.

Although it was Xu Li who was treating, Chen Yang definitely could not let her pay for the meal.

Lin Wei was probably busy and didn't reply promptly. So Chen Yang first drove to the Qingshui Grand Hotel. After Lin Wei replied, he immediately had the staff prepare the dishes in advance.

While waiting, Shen Anna called him: "Boss, today I talked with the president of Xingcheng Agricultural Bank, and they are willing to lend 50 million yuan. According to Manager Qian's budget, this amount is only enough to build the headquarters building."

Chen Yang said: "The headquarters can't be built in a day, so this money can be used according to the original budget. Moreover, the government will subsidize 25% of the vegetable greenhouse pilot project in Qingshui County."

"Really? That's great." Shen Anna happily said: "I can buy villas again. Just now Yexin told me that Boss Zhao is willing to sell two villas for 2.6 million yuan to us. This person is not bad, better than Mr. Huang."

"What nonsense!" Chen Yang laughed and scolded: "Zhao Feiyang, that cheat, actually overcharged me by 400,000 yuan."

Shen Anna laughed: "I heard you made over a million yuan again in the stock market, and Yexin was planning to extort you. It was because I argued firmly that the price was reduced."

Chen Yang deliberately sighed and said: "Actually, she miscalculated. I earned over 4 million yuan."

"…" Shen Anna finally understood why Yexin wanted to beat Chen Yang. This guy's money‑making ability is truly heaven‑defying. If he keeps going like this, there's no need to take the company public—because a listed company is just his ATM!

"Boss, I've been staying up late and working overtime a lot lately, and my skin has gotten much worse. Shouldn't you give me a subsidy for skin care and nutritional products?"

"Sure, pick the good ones, and I'll reimburse you personally."

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

After hanging up, Shen Anna burst out laughing at the furious, teeth‑gritting Yexin on the side. After laughing, she couldn't resist mocking her a bit.

"You few people teamed up to screw him over, yet you still didn't earn as much as he did. How hilarious is that!"

Yexin snorted disdainfully: "I didn't screw him over at all!"

Shen Anna looked puzzled at Yexin and said: "Since Chen Yang's stock‑trading ability is stronger than that of the Zhuo family, why don't you let Chen Yang help you make money?"

Yexin sighed and said: "You also know that my grandfather and Lin Wei's maternal grandfather are not from the same faction. Our private relations may be good, but openly we can't get too close."

"Now I get it!" Shen Anna suddenly realized: "No wonder you don't let Chen Yang go to Wuyou Residence…"

Yexin remarked: "This kid Chen Yang is really strange; he seems able to foresee the future. We've watched him trade stocks for so long, and we've never seen him lose."

Shen Anna said: "Maybe this is just talent! He was born for the stock market."

Yexin gave a cold snort: "So what? Even if the family has a few honest officials, having money doesn't mean we can spend it recklessly—what's the use? Instead…… we should lighten his burden!"

Shen Anna immediately became alert and looked at her, saying: "What are you up to?"

Yexin gave a mischievous smile and said: "Those skincare and nutritional supplements you wanted—buy a few more; he probably wouldn't mind, right?"

"Stop!" Shen Anna firmly refused: "You're not short of money!"

Yexin said: "Dear, you just don't get it. Spending a man's money and spending your own money feel completely different."

Shen Anna snorted and reminded her: "He's not your man!"

Yexin said dismissively: "He's not your man either! If you can spend his money, why can't I?"

Shen Anna retorted: "I'm his employee, working hard for his business; a little subsidy is reasonable, right?"

Yexin said: "Then I've helped your company quite a bit; taking some benefits is also reasonable."

"Seems... quite reasonable." Shen Anna felt Yexin also had a point, so she stopped arguing. While tidying the documents on her desk, she said: "Then let's get going!"
