Chapter 753: Don't Believe in Evil

President Wu, hurry up and sell all the stocks we have tomorrow!

What's there to fear? Chu Ning's reduction won't start for another fifteen days; it won't affect our current profits at all.

President Wu, you don't know Chu Ning's identity?

How would I not know? Isn't he just your blown-up fiancé? Besides, he seems to be Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend, right?

That's unrelated. She has an even scarier nickname in Goat City: Financial Paraquat! Any stock she buys will plummet immediately. Last time I was removed from my post as deputy director of the company's Securities Investment Department, it was because she screwed me over...

Hehe, President Tang, occasionally misreading the stock market is normal; there's no need to let a woman take the blame.

President Wu, I'm not lying to you. That woman really is poisonous!

President Tang, you're like someone who, after being bitten by a snake once, fears a rope for ten years. Just because you suffered a small loss last time, you're now scared of wolves and tigers? With such a narrow mindset, how can you ever make big money?

President Wu, if you don't believe me, I'll have to withdraw first.

Hehe, then go ahead and withdraw! I don't believe a woman can really turn the stock market upside down.

……

In Goat City, in a certain private room of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, Luosen wore a gloomy look as he watched Chu Ning browsing computer news.

Chu Ning, I've treated you like my own sister all these years. When you were bumping into walls all over the stock market back then, I also supported you from behind. Now I've finally caught a good stock and made a little money, yet you come barging in to sabotage me—is that appropriate?

Big Brother Luo, I've always kept your care in my heart. But now someone is targeting Chen Yang, so I can't just stand by. Besides, you've made plenty already—wouldn't it be good to cash out early and stay safe? Must you become that bastard Tang Qingquan's stepping stone?

Sis, Chen Yang's investment in Modu isn't false news—he himself admitted it. At this time, a stock surge is normal market behavior; we shouldn't go against the market just because Tang Qingquan bought the company's shares, right?

Big Brother Luo, Chen Yang said the company's stock price is inflated and even issued a risk warning. How can you still think this is market behavior? It's obviously Tang Qingquan and his gang maliciously hyping it!

Sis, we've been around the stock market for a few years—you should know how effective such risk warnings are for speculative stocks. And Chen Yang's company's stock has been skyrocketing since its IPO, already showing the traits of a speculative stock. So I don't think this risk warning can stop the price from continuing to rise.

Big Brother Luo, if you think selling now would lose you money, after I liquidate my stocks I can make up the difference for you. Tomorrow's session, I'm going to crash it!

Sis, since you're insisting on going your own way, I have nothing more to say. Forget about compensation. I've profited greatly from Chen Yang these past few years—consider it repaying a favor. I just fear your effort this time will be in vain...

Hehe, being able to hand over a husband worth over a hundred billion to someone else—could there be anyone in the world with worse luck than me?

……

Luosen looked at the sorrowful Chu Ning and silently withdrew from the private room.

An uneasy night passed.

After dawn, countless people began staring at the stock market panel on their computer screens.

On the forums, the topic of what impact Chu Ning's reduction of Tianqi Pharmaceutical would cause has been blown up.

Optimists think Chen Yang can no longer suppress the company's stock‑rising trend, so he can only use share reductions to dampen investors' enthusiasm. But in the big picture, such a small move can hardly stir up any waves.

Objectivists believe that when a major shareholder chooses to reduce holdings at this time, it means they are not optimistic about continued stock‑price rises. Buying high now would expose one to both a price pullback and the risk of further shareholder reductions.

Besides that, some people are interested in Tianqi Pharmaceutical's stock but find the price too high. They very much hope the stock will crash sharply at this stage, then they can swoop in to buy low.

Of course, the eventual direction of sentiment will become clear after the collective bidding auction ends.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang, who personally sparked this huge debate, is still sleeping in the study. His phone has been taken by Chu Min to the living room, where it keeps vibrating on the coffee table.

Miss, do we really not need to wake Director Chen?

Why wake him? He stays up late every night; if he dies from lack of sleep, do you want me to become a widow alongside him?

But what if the company has something big waiting for him to handle?

What big thing could it be? Nothing more than Chu Ning's reduction of Tianqi Pharmaceutical stock. If it can suppress investors' enthusiasm, that's naturally good; if not, we can wait until he wakes up to think of a strategy—it's not too late.

Can it be suppressed?

Based on my understanding of Chu Ning, the probability should be high. But things are unpredictable—I can't guarantee she'll definitely pull it off.

Miss, the market is about to open—should we go take a look?

I can't handle big emotional swings right now; let Xiao Bai check the dorm instead. If it's good news, tell me.

Okay!

Half an hour later, Liu Qing's phone rang. She quickly answered, and a hint of joy soon appeared on her face.

Miss, the stocks of both companies have hit the limit down!

Did the ordinary people's stocks also hit limit down? Chu Min's face instantly showed a hint of surprise. Although Chu Ning has the "Financial Paraquat" attribute, due to her identity she cannot privately buy shares of the ordinary people's agricultural products trading company during sensitive periods.

Now that the ordinary people's stocks have hit limit down, there's an eighty‑to‑ninety percent chance Chu Ning conducted an illegal operation!

Thinking of this, Chu Min immediately dialed Chu Ning's number.

Chu Ning, did you buy the ordinary people's stocks?

Don't worry, I sold all of Luosen's stocks and then bought some more.

Oh oh, nicely done!

And Chen Yang?

Hey, he was secretly staying up late to trade stocks again yesterday, and he's still sleeping now...

Is he sick? He's not short of money, so why is he pushing himself so hard?

I've advised him too, but it's useless. I guess he won't rest until he has enough money to build communities for the employees.

Crazy, all he knows is to be good to others.

……

All right, my task is done—I'm going to get busy now.

Okay, don't overwork yourself. Mwah!

Yeah, I know.

After hanging up, Chu Min could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into happy laughter.

Tang Qingquan, Tang Qingquan, you dared to cross my husband—now you'll have something to cry about!

However, Chu Min didn't know that Tang Qingquan had already dumped all his stocks during the collective bidding auction.

Meanwhile, Wu Jingzhong, sitting next to him, looked as if his soul had been snatched away, his eyes vacant as he stared blankly at the computer screen, muttering: 'This is impossible! This is impossible! ……'
