Chapter 575: Sure enough, it's financial poison

"Chen Yang, I told you, you can't escape my Five Finger Mountain." Chu Ning saw Chen Yang and Luosen return again, a smug smile curling her lips.

It must be said, this woman still looks quite pretty when she smiles. Too bad most of the time she has a deadpan face, as if someone owes her money.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll just leave." Before entering, Chen Yang had already seen the situation outside Fragrance-Retaining Pavilion; the police car that had escorted him here was gone. Adding to Chu Zhengfeng's earlier promise, he now isn't all that afraid of Chu Ning.

"Little sis, I finally managed to bring Director Chen back; if you keep throwing a tantrum like a spoiled young lady, I won't bother anymore!" Luosen worried the two would fall out again, and earnestly advised.

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning could only retract the flame Chen Yang had provoked and walked back to the private room where she had previously confined Chen Yang.

Chen Yang had a bad impression of this private room and instinctively complained: "Miss Chu, trading stocks every day in such a depressing environment—no wonder you don't lose money."

Chu Ning gave Chen Yang a sideways glance and said: "So high-maintenance, want me to get you a presidential suite office in a five-star hotel?"

Chen Yang nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea; then I'll trouble Miss Chu to foot the bill."

"You wish!" Chu Ning merely teased, not expecting Chen Yang to take the bait. She suppressed the urge to hit him and said: "Here I am with this environment; if you dawdle any longer, the stock market will close soon."

Chen Yang also couldn't stand her young-lady temperament; he just wanted to settle things quickly, so he said directly: "You handle it yourself; I'll watch from behind."

"Are you sure?" Chu Ning glanced at Chen Yang, a bit hesitant. Although she had spent years trying to prove she wasn't a financial poison, faced with overwhelming evidence, she couldn't help but lower her head.

"Get on with it, stop dawdling!" Chen Yang urged impatiently. He also really wanted to see just how toxic this financial poison was.

Chu Ning quickly opened her computer and logged into her stock account.

Chen Yang took a look from behind; her account still had twenty million in available funds, and there was also a stock that had lost eighty points, already ST-listed—a digital camera stock. The account showed her loss on this stock had reached thirty million.

Chen Yang had some impression of this stock; judging by the loss ratio, it was likely bought at the peak.

No wonder it's financial poison—it directly suppressed them to the point of facing delisting…

Chen Yang sighed inwardly, then told Chu Ning: "This month, pharmaceutical stocks are relatively hot; just pick any pharmaceutical stock to buy. Start with only a ten percent position."

Chu Ning glanced at the pharmaceutical sector, then spent two million to buy into ST Tianqi, which Chen Yang controls.

Chen Yang took a look; ST Tianqi had risen for seven consecutive trading days, and today it's in the midst of a bull‑bear struggle. From the chart, bearish forces clearly outweigh bullish ones. Buying now actually carries considerable risk.

"Miss Chu, you shouldn't have picked this stock."

"Why? It's the most popular pharmaceutical stock, and it's your company. Don't you trust your own company? Or are you suggesting your company's quarterly report involves financial fraud?"

Chen Yang was speechless at her comprehension, sighed, and said: "Usually when quarterly reports come out, it's the best time for big capital to start offloading. By entering at this point, you're just taking over their positions. Got it?"

Chu Ning said, utterly puzzled: "Your company's annual report came out a while ago—hasn't it been rising all along?"

Chen Yang reminded her: "Miss Chu, this stock has risen for seven trading days. Even if capital is optimistic, it should be due for a pullback."

He had just finished speaking when he saw the intraday line on the computer screen suddenly plummet. ST Tianqi, which had been up one point, instantly turned down two points.

"Damn, your jinxed mouth!" Chu Ning flared and backhanded Chen Yang with a punch.

Chen Yang had anticipated her, stepping back a pace. The result was that Luosen, reacting a beat slower, took the punch full on.

"Good grief, can't you stop being impulsive?" Luosen laughed through the pain: "Even if it hits the limit down, it's only a loss of 120,000. What's the big deal?"

He had barely finished speaking when ST Tianqi's stock kept falling, ultimately hitting the limit down before the morning session closed!

Chu Ning glared at Chen Yang and Luosen with fury, resentfully saying: "What sin did I commit to bring you two jinxes upon me!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang immediately said: "Then I'll just leave! Today's loss is on me—I'll later transfer the amount directly to your account."

"Stay right there, who wants your money!" Seeing Chen Yang about to leave, Chu Ning sprang up, grabbed him, and commanded in a stern tone: "There's still an hour and a half; hurry up and research which stocks we can buy this afternoon."

Chen Yang couldn't tolerate her temperament and insisted on leaving, but Chu Ning refused to let go, instead reaching around from behind and tightly hugging him.

Chen Yang felt two firm, elastic things pressing against his back, and his lower body involuntarily reacted. Startled, he hurriedly bent over to take deep breaths.

"Miss Chu, please don't do this—men and women shouldn't be intimate!"

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning's pretty face flushed instantly. Yet she kept her hands on Chen Yang, threatening: "If you can't help me pick a stock that will go up today, I'll accuse you of molestation."

Chen Yang retorted unhappily: "With so many people watching, who would believe you?"

"Who saw it?" Chu Ning snorted coldly, turning to Luosen beside her: "Did you see anything?"

"I didn't see anything!" Luosen immediately turned his head away, then advised Chen Yang: "Director Chen, just bear with it this once!"

Chen Yang felt his lower-body reaction becoming more obvious. To avoid embarrassment, he could only relent: "All right, I promise to help you pick a stock—can you let go now?"

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely, certainly, and absolutely!"

"All right, then I'll wait for your good news." To prevent Chen Yang from fleeing, Chu Ning walked straight to the private room's door and blocked it.

Chen Yang, meanwhile, took advantage of everyone's attention being on Chu Ning and swiftly sat down at the computer chair in a flash.

Then he continued deep breathing, waiting until his physical reaction subsided before turning his gaze to the computer screen.

ST Tianqi's stock already had seventy thousand lots in sealed orders; even if Lan Qiyun and Qi Yunxiang helped lift the board, success wasn't guaranteed.

To defend against a mere 120,000 loss, committing hundreds of millions of funds to prop up the price is also highly irrational.

Thinking this through, Chen Yang called Qi Yunxiang.

"Boss Qi, do you still have any shares of Yun Cheng Bio?"

"Boss Chen, I still have one hundred thousand lots of Yun Cheng Bio shares—are you preparing to re-enter the market again?"

"No, a friend of mine just got stuck in ST Tianqi's stock. I'm wondering if we can let her recoup some loss by trading Yun Cheng Bio shares."

"In that case, I'll handle it when the market opens this afternoon; you guys decide whether to enter based on the situation."

"Sure, then thanks for the trouble!"
