Chapter 295: Tricked by Yexin Again

When Chen Yang received Yexin's phone call, he was still on the way back to Qingshui City.

Regarding Lan Qiyun's reaction, he had already anticipated it. From the fact that she reminded Chen Yang in the email to quickly pull out after the stock of Pioneer Technology rebounded, he knew she was a girl full of sense of justice.

For such a person, if there is no financial pressure, merely using money to move her would be very difficult.

So, Chen Yang did not follow Yexin's advice and call Lan Qiyun directly. Instead, after returning to Qingshui City, he first sent her an email asking about the interview situation.

"Blue sky and white clouds, how did the interview go today?"

"You liar, you clearly know they are the capital behind Xingcheng Securities, yet you let me go for the interview. I hate you!"

"What's wrong with capital? Without capital investment, how can those listed companies expand production? Without capital livening up the market, how does the stock market operate? You also study finance, don't you understand this basic principle?"

"You have so many grand principles, I never noticed before. Even if what you say is correct, I still don't want to work there."

"If you want to change this situation where capital harvests retail investors, I suggest you reconsider."

"Hmm, what do you mean by that?"

"Capital is merely a tool that guides the market. The key is still how the person using it operates. If you want to change the current state of the stock market, you must possess capital capable of changing this situation. Otherwise, you can only watch as retail investors are harvested by capital. Because even if Yexin and them are not doing this harvesting, other capital will do so."

"What you say does make some sense. The problem is, I'm a new employee; what basis do they have to listen to me?"

"This is simple: use your ability to prove that their capital can create greater value in your hands. Then they will naturally hand over the power to use capital to you."

"Helping them create more wealth—doesn't that just mean harvesting more retail investors? What's the difference between that and aiding a tyrant?"

"I don't agree with your viewpoint. The stock market is a human game; the ones who determine its fate are always people."

"Those retail investors harvested by capital—didn't they have a chance to exit before being harvested? Why didn't they leave?"

"Put bluntly, they simply cannot control their inner greed. When they profit, they want to earn more; when they lose, they just wait desperately for the stock to rebound."

"For such a person, if you advise him in real life, you might even get beaten up. He'll think you're blocking his source of wealth."

"Your words sound quite reasonable. So, you're actually not a stock market newbie?"

"I never said I was a newbie, did I?"

"I saw today a photo of the shareholders of Starlight Financial Investment Company, and there was my senior Chen Yang on it. Could it be you?"

"Handsome or not?"

"You liar! I actually got fooled by you for so long! I'm ignoring you!"

Chen Yang was speechless at the computer. He had never even met Lan Qiyun, so why would she be so angry after learning his true identity……

Looks like this lobbyist won't work out.

Chen Yang waited another ten minutes, confirmed there was no further reply, then shut down the computer.

When he lay down on the bed, Chen Yang asked Lin Wei, who was reading a book: "Wife, do you know a junior named Lan Qiyun? She's also from our finance department."

Lin Wei put down the book, thought hard, then shook her head. "I don't know her. What's wrong with this girl?"

Chen Yang said: "Earlier, while playing Fight the Landlord, I met an online friend who is not only great at the game but also a stock trading expert. So I introduced her to Xin Jie, never expecting she'd actually be a junior from our finance department."

Lin Wei suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but let out a soft hum. "I said earlier I've been listless as if my soul had left me, playing games all day. Turns out I was hooked by a fox spirit."

Chen Yang gave her a jealous look. "Can you speak properly? So far I still haven't even seen her face."

Lin Wei looked at Chen Yang with ill intent and said: "If you meet her and find she's young and pretty, wouldn't you have other thoughts?"

Chen Yang directly pulled Lin Wei into his embrace, using action to prove that she is his only one.

A night of spring passion.

The next day, at dawn, Yexin's phone call came again.

"You little brat, did you go persuade her? How come you didn't reply to my message all night?"

"Big sis, my wife is still sleeping beside me. You calling me early in the morning to discuss other women isn't appropriate, is it?"

"Hmph, I just wanted you to persuade her to come work at the company, and I didn't ask you to sleep with her. You're making such a loud fuss—could it be you have a guilty conscience?"

"Rest assured, I can absolutely withstand the examination of the Party and the people."

Lin Wei lightly pinched Chen Yang to stop him from spouting nonsense.

Chen Yang endured the pain and told Yexin: "I've said everything I needed to say. Whether she comes or not entirely depends on her own thoughts. If it really doesn't work out, you just play the affection card."

Hearing this, Yexin on the other end of the phone curiously asked: "We've only met once—how do we play the affection card?"

Chen Yang said: "Isn't she very compassionate? Just take a portion of the profits from the stock market and donate it to disaster relief or impoverished areas. Let her feel her work has social value. Isn't the problem solved then?"

Yexin on her side was silent for a moment, then still agreed with Chen Yang's suggestion. "This idea is not bad. You little brat, you know so well how to sweet‑talk women; I bet our Lin girl will be spun around by your deceit."

"Get lost! Chen Yang felt an urge to beat someone up. This damned Yexin, clearly knowing Lin Wei was eavesdropping on the side, deliberately set him up. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have introduced Lan Qiyun to her."

Having exhausted himself all night, he had finally managed to console the woman in his arms, but Yexin's meddling wasted it all again.

"'Honey, to prove your innocence, I think it's necessary to look at your email correspondence with Lan Qiyun.' Lin Wei tightly embraced Chen Yang's neck with both hands, this being both a suggestion and a threat."

Chen Yang had already deleted the previous email contents, leaving only last night's email not yet cleared. After carefully recalling and confirming there was nothing incriminating, he opened the computer for her to check.

However, Lin Wei still noticed something off.

"'Honey, what did you deceive her about? Why does the tone of her last email feel angry?'"

Chen Yang couldn't help but get a headache again. To avoid further misunderstanding, he hurriedly explained: "I used to tell her I was raising pigs. Now my identity is the boss of a common people's agricultural products trading company and a shareholder of Starlight Financial Investment Company. So she might think I wasn't telling the truth."

"'Really?' Lin Wei looked at Chen Yang with suspicious eyes, feeling it couldn't be that simple. She questioned again: 'You're sure you didn't have any contact with her while in school?'"

Chen Yang immediately raised his hand and swore.

"'Definitely, certainly, and absolutely!'"
