Chapter 293: Turns out it's actually a junior schoolmate

After the stock market closed, Pioneer Technology's official immediately released a statement, claiming that their technical department had already resolved the in-game bug issue.

However, Pioneer Technology revealed another piece of information at the end of this official statement: to increase the game's playability, the company will develop an built-in game assistance tool in subsequent development. The functions of this assistance tool will be announced before the next game update.

Chen Yang never expected that, because of his connection with Lantian Baiyun, the landlord card-counting device would actually be legalized in advance.

It seems this stock market plunge also gave Pioneer Technology's upper management a lesson. Rather than spending time and energy fighting hackers, it would be better to directly legalize the assistance tool.

In that case, hackers would have no profit to gain, so naturally they wouldn't bother with the game anymore.

"Silly old man, Pioneer Technology's stock hit the limit up, did you sell it?"

"I sold them all. How about you?"

"Hehe, when I noticed the data abnormality, I preemptively placed a limit-up order."

"Wow, how did you know they would push it to the limit up?"

"Hehe, I analyzed the trading data of those hot money funds from Xingcheng Securities over the past few months. Usually, more than seventy percent of the late-day rallies hit the limit up. So I took a gamble. I didn't expect to win."

"I didn't expect you to be decent at landlord, and stock trading is not bad either!"

"Hehe, you got it backwards. Actually, stock trading is my main business, and landlord is just a hobby."

Chen Yang never expected there to be someone else who also treats stock trading as their main profession, and he couldn't help but become curious.

"How old are you, and you already have money to trade stocks?"

"Age is a woman's secret, I won't tell you. Stock trading doesn't need much money either. My starting capital was five thousand, and now it's grown to twenty thousand. My goal is to reach one hundred thousand within a year."

"Awesome! Awesome! It seems our country will soon give birth to a female stock goddess!"

"Hehe, although I still have many areas to improve, I still love hearing your words. How about it, do you want to become my disciple?"

"Become a disciple? Forget it! I, a proud pig farming king, would lose face if I took a little girl as my master."

"Hmph, if you don't want to become a disciple, then don't come begging me next time your stocks get stuck."

"Hehe, we'll talk about it next time you get stuck."

Chen Yang has already earned enough in the stock market, and he himself isn't very greedy, so there's no need for him to study technology further. On the other hand, Yexin loves money, loves stock trading, but her skills are poor; perhaps she could be introduced to Lantian Baiyun.

"O Great Lantian Baiyun, I have a female friend who also likes stock trading. However, her stock trading skills are also poor. I don't know if you'd be willing to take her as your disciple."

"Unwilling!"

"The tuition is very high!"

"How high?"

"How high do you hope it to be?"

"You say it first!"

"Eleven thousand per month, until she learns?"

"What level counts as having learned?"

"That's up to you as the teacher to decide. When you think she's ready to graduate, she can graduate."

"Aren't you worried that I'll extort wages by never letting her graduate?"

"No worries. My friend is the type who isn't short of money."

"Hmph, someone who can get angry over ten bucks for days wouldn't be friends with someone who isn't short of money. Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Believe it or not, I'll give you a phone number; just contact her directly and say Chen Yang introduced you."

"Ah, so you're also named Chen Yang!"

"Oh, you also know another Chen Yang who shares my name?"

"Yeah, our school has an upperclassman also named Chen Yang. He's impressive—he's the boss of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company, well-known throughout Dongjiangsheng. However, I've only spoken to him once. I guess he's probably forgotten me by now."

Chen Yang carefully searched through his memories, but he couldn't think of any female student who not only has a strong memory but also excellent stock trading skills.

Since that's the case, let's first lure Yexin to her partner's Xinghui Financial Investment Company. Once the person arrives, the mystery will naturally surface.

So, Chen Yang quickly gave Yexin a call.

"Sister Xin, I'd like to introduce you to a female Zhuge with excellent stock trading skills. Interested?"

"Su Mingyue?"

"No, this person is very mysterious; I don't even know her exact identity right now. But I know her memory is excellent and her stock trading skills are not bad. At least she's qualified to teach you."

"You don't even know her, so how can you prove she's impressive?"

"Whether she's impressive or not, just have her come to the company for a trial and you'll find out."

"You little brat, I'm swamped right now. If I catch you trying to fool me, watch your butt."

"No good deed goes unpunished, don't give up. I'll call Qi Yunxiang later; I guarantee he'll owe me a drink afterward."

"Hmph, you dare! Give me that woman's phone number."

"I don't have her number, but I can leave yours with her. Whether she wants to come find you depends on your fate."

"Good! Then I'll wait for your good news."

Seeing that Yexin had agreed, Chen Yang sent her phone number to Lantian Baiyun via email.

Half an hour later, Yexin called back again.

"You little brat, come clean—do you have some shady affair with Lan Qiyun?"

"Sister Xin, what nonsense are you spouting? I don't even know who Lan Qiyun is."

"The person you introduced is also from the finance department of Xingcheng University—how could you not know them?"

"I really don't know them. There are so many female students in the finance department; how could I possibly know them all? Besides, I spent most of my college years working part-time. I can barely remember the names of the female students on campus."

"That's not right! I looked at her file—her grades are excellent and she's very pretty. A girl like that should be the center of attention. How could you have no impression of her?"

"I really have no impression! I met her recently while playing a game online. It's the same game that caused your stock to hit the limit down today. The bug that broke the game's balance was created by her and her friend. I only learned her name is Lan Qiyun from what you just said."

"No way! Isn't she studying finance? How does she even know how to create a game bug?"

"Xingcheng University is full of talent; isn't it normal for her to have a friend majoring in computer science?"

All right! Then I'll talk to her first. If she really has a talent for stock trading, I'll keep her at the company. Then I won't keep bothering you.

Um, I told her, the tuition for her apprenticeship is ten thousand a month. If you think it's worth it, remember to pay up!

..., My Anna and my sister-in-law are both CEOs, and they don't even make ten thousand a month. You're all right, promising a stranger you've never even met a salary of ten thousand a month. Do you think my money blows in from the wind?

Big sis, a stock‑trading expert deserves special treatment. If she can help you earn a million in a month, that salary is just a drizzle.

Hmph, you'd better pray she really can make me a million in a month!
