Chapter 297: Four Big Leeks

Looking at the four people doing yoga in front of him, Xu Mo suddenly thought that this kind of life… was pretty good.

Not having to cook at home, and having someone else prepare the meals, that's all.

The key is, after the meal there's a free little program to watch…

And the four of them are totally not shy about people!

The place where they do yoga is right in front of Xu Mo, so he can't avoid watching!

"Hey, have you heard of Liu Genhong, who's been super popular lately? I heard his Bencao Gangmu Fitness Exercise works quite well!" Zhou Qiaoqiao said suddenly after finishing a move.

"Yeah, yeah, I saw it too; they say it's effective!" Yang Jingxuan nodded, "Shall we give it a try?"

An Youyi chimed in as well.

"Did you all come across him too? Looks like that Bencao Gangmu has really been hot lately; many of my girlfriends on social media say it's effective, I think we could try it!"

"I'll look for that video; I think I saved it. Let's follow the video and dance for a while to see the results," Li Jiaxin said, standing up directly, grabbing the phone on the coffee table to find the previously saved video.

"Hold on, it's unclear whether the Bencao Gangmu works, but compared to yoga, its viewing appeal is clearly poorer… Xu Mo quickly said, "You should stick with yoga; the Bencao Gangmu isn't really suitable for you."

"Why isn't it suitable for us?"

Of course it's because its visual appeal isn't as strong as yoga, what else! Xu Mo thought that in his mind, but his mouth offered a different excuse.

"That jumping around is too intense; right after a meal, vigorous exercise isn't appropriate, yoga is just fine."

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Zhou Qiaoqiao showed a thoughtful expression, "That's true, right after a meal it's indeed unsuitable for intense exercise."

Xu Mo pressed on, continuing to persuade.

"Besides, the fitness routine is mainly for cutting fat and shaping the body, improving the figure and such; you don't need that either, yoga is better."

Xu Mo was complimenting our figures? Realizing this, the four's mood instantly brightened considerably.

Of course, although they appreciated Xu Mo's praise and felt happy inside, they didn't show the happiness on their faces.

Instead they modestly said, "Why don't we need to cut fat and shape? I feel a bit chubby."

"You're just gaining weight where you should, okay… isn't that fine?" Xu Mo teased.

Hearing that, the four could no longer contain themselves; joy overflowed from their words.

Xu Mo's little mouth—maybe he's coated with honey; he sounds so pleasant!

The next day.

Xu Mo came to the office as usual.

All day long, Xu Mo was waiting for a mission to dispatch.

However, in reality, there wasn't a single case today, so there was no need to dispatch at all.

In fact, even until quitting time, there was no work.

"Weird, is my Conan-like constitution not working anymore? Why no cases today?" Xu Mo lowered his head, scanning his whole body.

Logically, with his Conan-like constitution, shouldn't cases come one after another, finishing one and immediately getting the next?

He had seen this before: a case a day, sometimes two, truly nonstop; what's up today, no cases even until quitting time—how strange!

Could it be… the current calm is only temporary, and a big case is actually waiting behind? Xu Mo thought.

Back home, Xu Mo saw the four women sitting side by side on the sofa.

At that moment, all four were clutching their phones, looking stunned.

Worth mentioning, the green glow emanating from the four phones painted their little faces green… just like four thriving leeks!

Such green stuff isn't common… Xu Mo instantly thought of the stock market.

Others don't know, but he does.

In the coming month, most stock prices will keep falling, with many hitting limit-down or dropping below their issue price.

Entering the market now, aren't they just pure leeks?

And trying to bottom‑fish… you want to scoop his bottom, he wants to scoop your home!

When Xu Mo entered, the four simply didn't hear.

Only when Xu Mo reached in front of them did they look up at him.

Xu Mo didn't even glance at the stock trends on their phones before asking, "How much did you lose today?"

"How did you know we lost?" Zhou Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled.

Xu Mo: "…"

The green glow on the phone has your faces all green—I'm not blind!

The next second, An Youyi weakly answered Xu Mo's earlier question.

A few of the stocks I liked most all hit limit-down today; together they lost 300,000, wiping out a whole bag.

At that moment, she was very dejected.

What made her dejected wasn't the 300,000 loss; actually, 300,000 is nothing to her.

What truly upset her was that just last night she had sworn she'd paid a lot of tuition in the stock market, lost a lot of money, and boasted shamelessly that she'd mastered the market and would never lose.

According to An Youyi's analysis, the prices have been falling for so long; it's time for a bottom rebound, and they will definitely rise again—it's a perfect all‑in bottom‑fishing opportunity.

Who knew that the words spoken just last night would be slapped in the face today!

She had bought five stocks in total, all the ones she favored, and today none of them rose at all.

Not only didn't they rise, they all fell, hitting limit‑down directly!

Of course, she wasn't the only one losing money this time.

Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, and Li Jiaxin also lost money, each wearing a dejected expression.

However, the amount they invested wasn't as much as An Youyi's, so their losses were relatively smaller; the three of them together lost far less than 300,000.

Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at her phone, then looked at Xu Mo and plaintively said, "I also lost over forty thousand; I even added to my position hoping to bottom‑fish, but those stocks never hit the bottom. I wanted to buy at his bottom, he wanted to buy my house…"

"Bottom? It's still early; it still needs to fall at least another month!" Xu Mo comforted the four, saying, "Just take the loss; it might not be all bad, consider it tuition paid. Sell it quickly; it's not too late to sell now."

Hearing Xu Mo's words, An Youyi grew even more depressed: "Tuition and all that, I haven't skimped on paying. Not long ago I just made some money in the stock market, didn't even have time to warm it up, and now it's used to pay tuition…"

After thinking, An Youyi said, "But we've already lost so much; selling everything now would be an even bigger loss, right? How about I keep adding? It will rise sometime; maybe we can make a small profit then."

"Keep buying? You're a textbook leek…" Xu Mo's mouth twitched, "Don't keep buying, sell quickly, otherwise the loss will keep growing. You only think about it rising—have you never considered it could keep falling?"

Seeing Xu Mo speak so confidently, Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't help but size him up, her face full of doubt.

"Xu Mo… do you know some insider information? It feels like you're so confident in your predictions."
