Chapter 272: Scammed Out of Ten Thousand Game Coins

After finishing errands at the Happy Residential Area, I returned already at 3 p. m.; at this time the stock market had already closed.

Chen Yang checked Xingcheng Heavy Industry's trading situation today and found that Yexin and Qi Yunxiang had again played a reverse T operation.

However, the effect of this operation was not very obvious. Although the stock price fluctuated greatly, the trading volume had shrunk more than double compared to yesterday. The closing price also dropped from twenty point seven five to twenty.

It was obvious that, after being cheated twice in a row, the remaining investors had also become smart. Whenever the stock price fell beyond expectations, they firmly refused to sell their shares. They all tacitly took up the role of 'stock market iron-head babies', dead-locking against Yexin and them to the end.

Chen Yang browsed Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock forum and found that the investors' discussion matched his guess exactly. While cursing Xingcheng Securities' hot money, they launched a joint action to resist selling their shares.

Under these circumstances, Chen Yang estimated that Yexin and Qi Yunxiang could not continue. On Friday, they would very likely have to withdraw.

Of course, Chen Yang also had no intention of going back to clean up this mess.

After this round of tossing back and forth, the wavering investors were basically washed out. As for the remaining iron-head babies, Chen Yang had no confidence to squeeze any profit from them.

After passing on Xingcheng Heavy Industry, Chen Yang shifted his gaze to China Software. Because the hype had died down, this stock of China Software traded sideways all day. The price fluctuated between five point eight and five point nine, finally closing at five point eight.

Chen Yang felt that the investors' will here was still firm, and trying to enter the market to absorb too many chips was unrealistic. So he decided to wait a bit longer.

He also looked at several other stocks he often traded, finding little room for operation.

Helpless, Chen Yang decided to temporarily stay out of the market for a period.

Although Chen Yang just wanted to lie flat and rest, Yexin did not agree. As soon as he dozed off on the sofa for a while, the other party's call came.

"You little brat, your method doesn't work anymore; retail investors refuse to sell their shares. What should we do tomorrow?"

"Stay out of the market and give yourself a few days off. Don't you find it boring to constantly look at the charts and numbers in the stock market?"

"You little brat, how could making money be boring! If you want to rest, the weekend offers plenty of time. Quickly give me some ideas now."

"Didn't I tell you to stay out of the market? Or why don't you inquire where there is insider information, so we can set up an ambush in advance?"

"Insider information? If I had insider information, would I still need to come to you for ideas?"

"Then we can only stay out of the market. I also have no inspiration right now!"

"No inspiration? Then I'll send Kong Jianhua to Qingshui City to find you some inspiration."

"Who is Kong Jianhua?"

"Your mayor's precious son! You help people find jobs, yet you don't even know his name???"

"Well, I've never met him before, so it's normal not to know his name!"

"Alright, I'll have him come back to get acquainted with you. I guarantee a big surprise."

"No thanks! I have to return to Xingcheng on the weekend."

"No problem, you'll just stay in Xingcheng for two days then have to return to Qingshui. I'll have him go back first to wait for you."

Chen Yang really didn't want to deal with the mayor's son. If it were just spending a little money, that would be fine, but he feared spending money and still having to waste time serving him. He immediately reminded Yexin:

"Yexin sister, our company just landed such a big real estate project in Qingshui City. If people find out the mayor's son works at our company, what will they think? What will the mayor's political rivals think?"

"Then tell me which stock to buy tomorrow, and I'll let him keep hanging around in Xingcheng."

"..., then buy China Software!"

Chen Yang originally wanted to wait for China Software's market sentiment to stabilize before sneaking in, but Yexin's disturbance forced him to temporarily give up.

And after Yexin got a satisfactory result, she also gave up the idea of letting Kong Jianhua return to Qingshui.

To avoid further complications, Chen Yang deliberately called Zhang Chunhua. He briefly explained the pros and cons of Kong Jianhua returning to Qingshui, asking him to help persuade the mayor's wife as much as possible to prevent her from returning to Qingshui.

Zhang Chunhua's side quickly replied, saying the mayor's wife is currently in Xingcheng and will not let her son return to Qingshui.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Friday stock market was relatively boring for him.

Xingcheng Heavy Industry opened again high then low, while China Software suddenly hit the limit up in the fluctuation; throughout the process he was merely a spectator.

Some rejoice, some grieve, but only staying out of the market is the loneliest.

Bored Chen Yang played a day of Fight the Landlord with netizens at the game center, losing ten thousand game coins and still being mocked by opponents as a newbie……

In the past, Chen Yang would surely have exchanged hours of trash talk with the opponent; now he just laughed it off.

At a rate of one game coin to one thousandth of a yuan, losing ten thousand game coins is only ten yuan, not even a fraction of a single stock trade commission.

Using ten yuan to kill a day's time is simply too cost-effective.

"Brother, next time you're bored, come play with me again. I'll give you ten thousand game coins as a service fee."

"Brother? Is your vision bad? I'm clearly a girl!"

"Sorry sorry, I've met many male netizens who also use a female rabbit avatar; I thought you were the same as them."

"..., you guys are really boring; why would a perfectly normal man use a female avatar? Yesterday there was even a pervert impersonating a girl who scammed me out of five thousand game coins."

Chen Yang didn't expect scammers at this stage to be so undiscriminating, even cheating with five-yuan game coins. He immediately comforted the other party: "Don't be angry. People and things online are inherently untrustworthy; if you encounter similar situations in the future, remember to dry your eyes and look carefully—you definitely won't be scammed again."

"Alright, let's stop here for today! If you accompany me to play Fight the Landlord again next time, I'll give you ten thousand game coins as a service fee."

"Tch, how can I believe what you say is true or false? You might be a scammer yourself!"

"Like this! To prove I'm not a scammer, I'll first give you five thousand game coins as a deposit, and give the remaining five thousand after your service ends."

"No way, what if I finish playing with you and you refuse to acknowledge the debt?"

"Then I'll just give you ten thousand right away!"

Chen Yang generously transferred ten thousand game coins to the other party.

"Haha, with such low intelligence, no wonder you play games poorly. Let me tell you, I'm actually scamming you."

After the other party threw out that sentence, they immediately went offline.

Chen Yang was speechless at the computer screen.

As a Reborn Person, he clearly knew that people online are unreliable and the chance of being scammed is high, yet he still actively walked into being scammed……

Between people, can't we have a bit more trust!

Although he was only scammed out of ten yuan, Chen Yang felt deeply hurt. One person lay on the sofa, feeling depressed until the sun set.
