Chapter 316: Liquidating Yexin's Stocks

Yexin finally agreed to Chen Yang's proposal, deciding to recruit some female employees with good image and temperament under the name of the 'Love at First Sight' website.

After she left, Chen Yang said to Shen Anna: "Anna sis, Yexin cares about you so much; aren't you afraid of hurting her heart by saying that?"

Shen Anna laughed: "I've known her since we wore open-crotch pants. If a couple of words could upset her, she'd have drowned in the Dongjiang River long ago. Moreover, when she usually picks on me, it's far worse than what I just said. Do you see me holding a grudge?"

Chen Yang was only worried about a rift between the sisters; since Shen Anna wasn't worried, he felt relieved.

Then Shen Anna said again: "Boss, you really don't need to worry about my lifelong matter. Feelings depend on fate; a forced melon isn't sweet. If I truly meet someone suitable, I'll take the initiative without your persuasion."

Chen Yang felt Shen Anna made sense. Everyone has the right to choose love; excessive interference by others only backfires. Yexin's overconcern caused her to fall into the 'leader's confusion' mistake.

After signing the necessary documents, Shen Anna gathered the company's senior executives for a meeting to report recent work status.

Chen Yang didn't participate much in the company's management, so he just listened in. Still, the results reported satisfied him.

For example, the company's physical chain stores in Xingcheng have expanded to fifty outlets, with monthly sales doubling. Meanwhile, online platform sales increased by fifty percent, and the number of resident merchants exceeded ten thousand.

Now we only need Xinghui Company to obtain the third-party payment license, then we can focus on promoting the online sales platform.

After the meeting, Chen Yang drove to Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School to pick up Lin Xiaomi after school, and asked about his studies along the way. Then he had dinner at Chen Chunmei's house before returning to his rented hotel to prepare for the US stock market.

Since Yexin was eager to dive into the US stock market, he had to first liquidate the other party's shares of that company.

However, not long after he returned to the hotel, Yexin arrived with Lan Qiyun. Both carried laptops, full of energy—gearing up to pull an all-nighter with him.

"Yexin sis, isn't it inappropriate for the two of you women to stay in a hotel with me?"

"No problem, I've opened a room next door. After you liquidate the stocks, we'll go there to continue the battle."

Chen Yang truly admired their stock‑trading spirit.

But he still gave a friendly reminder: "Even if I liquidate the stocks today, the transfer can only happen during daylight. You might as well go rest and continue tomorrow."

Yexin felt a bit disappointed upon hearing that, yet she insisted on staying: "Since we've come, we ought to see how you operate."

Chen Yang continued to advise: "To maximize profit, you need patience. This process will be boring; you don't have to suffer alongside me."

Yexin also knew how long Chen Yang had taken last time to liquidate Guo Jin's friend's stocks, and she hesitated. She looked at Lan Qiyun and asked: "Little one, what do you think?"

Lan Qiyun had never operated in the US stock market and was curious. She told Yexin: "Sis, let's watch for a while; resting after noon is not too late."

Seeing their insistence to stay, Chen Yang could only give in.

When the US stock market's intraday trading began, Chen Yang started placing orders slowly, descending from $9.20; he stopped to rest once the price fell below $9.10.

Yexin owned 20,833,300 shares of that company. Following his pace of selling Guo Jin's friend's stocks, he would have to pull another all‑night session at least.

So before midnight, Yexin and Lan Qiyun couldn't hold out and returned to their rooms to rest.

Before leaving, Yexin specially ordered a coffee takeout for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang sipped coffee while placing orders to sell his stocks, continuing until the intraday session ended. He finally sold Yexin's shares at an average price of $9.12, cashing out $189.81 million.

After the trade, he sent Yexin a do‑not‑disturb message, then turned off his phone and went to sleep.

Upon waking again, it was already 1 p. m. He freshened up, and as soon as he opened the hotel room door, he saw Yexin waiting outside for a while.

"Chen Yang, you're really handsome today." Yexin had reviewed the transaction log of that company, knowing exactly how much her account had increased. Excited, she threw herself into a passionate big hug with Chen Yang, even planting a kiss on his face.

Chen Yang felt a bit dazed by her sudden enthusiasm. "Yexin sis, I help you make money, yet you want to take advantage of me in public—this isn't proper, is it?"

"I treat you like a real younger brother; what's the harm in a hug?" Yexin replied dismissively, then pushed Chen Yang back into the room and urged him to hurry with the transfer.

Chen Yang sighed, then opened his computer and transferred ten million US dollars to Yexin's account. "Yexin sis, to keep you from overheating, take this money tonight to test the waters. Even if you lose it all, it won't hurt your foundation."

Yexin fiercely pinched Chen Yang's arm. "Pah, pah, pah—I haven't even started, and you're already talking defeat. Are you deliberately trying to make me unhappy?"

Chen Yang hurriedly pleaded: "Okay, okay, it's my fault as the younger brother. Then I wish you victory at the first try tonight!"

"That's about right." Yexin, now with money in her account and in high spirits, immediately called Lan Qiyun to arrange another showdown that night.

Chen Yang originally wanted to ask which stock they had taken a liking to; if it was one he remembered, he could offer some advice.

But he also thought that if Yexin and Lan Qiyun went too smoothly, it wouldn't be good either—what if they, like him, went all‑in on a single stock? The consequences would be unthinkable.

The capital in the US stock market is far stronger than domestic capital. Once targeted, they'd be left with nothing but scraps.

Not long after Yexin left, Su Mingyue's phone rang again.

"Chen Yang, did you dump another portion of stocks last night?"

"Yes, if you think it's appropriate, you can also sell some of your stocks tonight. I'll keep selling after you finish yours."

"Okay, should we control the stock price?"

"Before that company's earnings report comes out, you don't need to worry about the stock price dropping sharply."

"Okay, I know what to do."

After Su Mingyue hung up, Chen Yang immediately went to the restaurant downstairs the hotel to take care of his meals, then returned to the hotel to continue sleeping.

In Xingcheng, the company's affairs are overseen by Shen Anna, so he basically doesn't need to worry. The villa's renovation is monitored by Zhao Xiaoli's people, so he also doesn't need to fuss. Apart from stock trading, he really is a big idler.
