Chapter 57: Spoilers After Drinking

Yu Dazhang had reached his limit; if he stopped now, his alcohol tolerance was just right, but if he drank more...

It would be too much!

But with alcohol, once you get into the swing of it, few can control themselves.

Because you simply don't know you've had too much.

Besides, a stunning beauty was sitting across from him, drinking with him.

What Yu Dazhang had just said hadn't gone through his mind at all; it was purely a case of the conversation leading there, so he just blurted it out.

After hearing this, Qu Tuotuo asked curiously:

"You also have research in finance?"

"No." Yu Dazhang sat back down on the chair and waved his hand:

"I know nothing about it."

Qu Tuotuo became even more curious and pressed on:

"Then how do you know a bull market is coming?"

Draft beer has one characteristic: it goes to your head easily.

Add to that Qu Tuotuo's great interest in what he had just said, and this instantly activated Yu Dazhang's passive skill.

What do people like to do most when they've had alcohol?

The answer is: love to play the teacher.

A ready-made question was sitting there, and a fresh, lively beauty was staring at him expectantly from across the table.

Yu Dazhang was completely lost to himself.

"Remember, news about lowering interest rates and the reserve requirement ratio will soon come out; that is the signal for the bull market to begin."

"You must build your position before this, because once the news breaks, leveraged funds will flood in."

"Plus, investor optimism and media hype will immediately create a herd effect."

"Finally, a massive number of retail investors will enter the market; by then, it will probably be April next year, and you should prepare to close your positions and exit."

In just a few short sentences, Qu Tuotuo was captivated.

If everything he said was correct, this was truly a stock market legend!

Who dares claim they can predict the trend of the A-share market?

The most unpredictable stock market in the world is undoubtedly the A-share market, without exception.

You have to remember, even Old Man Buffett got wrecked in it back then, nearly suffering a heart attack.

Yet right here in this ordinary barbecue shop.

The fat man across from him, who claimed to know nothing about finance, had used just a few sentences to describe the future trend of the A-share market with crystal clarity.

Is this called not understanding finance?

Interest rates, leverage, herd effect...

Are these words someone who doesn't understand finance could say?

He even explained when to build the position and why to build it.

He even mentioned the time to close the position and the reason for closing it.

It didn't sound like nonsense at all.

The more Qu Tuotuo thought about it, the more confused her mind became; finally, she couldn't help but ask:

"Didn't you say you don't understand finance? Then how did you know all that content just now? Don't tell me you guessed it."

Yu Dazhang's eyelids drooped.

He first turned his head to ask the waiter to keep bringing more alcohol, then looked at Qu Tuotuo:

"Previously, the Economic Crime Investigation Division had a raid; I went to support them."

"The suspect was a master at playing the stock market; unfortunately, he used public funds to trade stocks, and he was eventually discovered."

"When he was caught, he had already earned money he could never spend in a lifetime, yet he still hadn't plugged the hole in the public funds."

"Human greed and desire are endless; he was still muttering about future trends while in the car."

"Guess what? He got it all right; he really was a master."

Yu Dazhang was completely unaware that what he said was not something that happened in this lifetime.

Or rather, in this lifetime, the case of embezzling public funds hadn't happened yet, and that stock market master hadn't been caught yet.

He had spoiled the plot in advance~

With this little bit of alcohol, he even lost the habit of not discussing cases after work.

Although Qu Tuotuo had also drunk quite a bit, her mind was still relatively clear.

But she felt there was a logical flaw in Yu Dazhang's words, so she countered:

"The bull market hasn't arrived yet; how did he make the money? If it was the previous bull market, but you clearly mentioned 2015, that doesn't make sense."

"I hate it most when someone questions me." At this point, Yu Dazhang simply gave up using his brain and replied directly:

"Believe it or not."

Seeing his expression, Qu Tuotuo knew he was drunk; he was already acting drunk. "Is that all your alcohol tolerance can handle?" she asked with a smile.

The fat man's current appearance was simply too interesting; he looked silly and carried a hint of lewdness.

His gaze at her had also become fixed and unblinking.

"Alcohol tolerance? Ha, don't ask about my tolerance; point your finger toward the sea." Yu Dazhang puffed out his belly hard, trying to show he could drink a lot.

"Fine, fine, fine." Qu Tuotuo didn't argue with him; instead, she said with a smile:

"Since you haven't had too much, then let me ask you something."

"Go ahead." Yu Dazhang slapped his chest, his face full of towering boldness.

"My domestic driver's license is about to be issued." Qu Tuotuo asked with a serious expression, "I want to present the instructor with a silk banner. What do you think I should write on it?"

Yu Dazhang didn't even think, answering directly:

"National Server Sun Ce."

"What? What Sun Ce?" Qu Tuotuo had heard clearly, but didn't understand.

Please... collect... 6... 9... book....!

"National Server! You don't even understand National Server? Never mind, you'll get it in a few years." Yu Dazhang was too lazy to explain and stated confidently:

"Just write it as I say. I guarantee that ten years from now, this banner will still be the most dazzling presence in the entire driving school."

"Really?" Qu Tuotuo was half-skeptical.

"Relax." Yu Dazhang patted his chest and promised:

"Trust me, you won't go wrong."

Qu Tuotuo knew he was drunk.

By all rights, at this moment she should have urged him not to drink anymore, then taken advantage of his remaining sobriety to send him home quickly.

But for some reason, she just wanted to stay with him a little longer.

Seeing Yu Dazhang take another sip of draft beer, Qu Tuotuo thought for a moment and asked:

"Tell me, why are robbery and kidnapping always committed by men? It's rare to see men and women doing them together, isn't it?"

This was purely an attempt to start a conversation.

The reason she could ask this question was that the kidnapping she had previously encountered left too deep an impression on her.

Moreover, she greatly enjoyed the way Yu Dazhang looked when he answered her questions seriously.

"The two you mentioned are both violent crimes. How could such things possibly involve women? Have you heard this saying..."

Yu Dazhang's eyes were reduced to slits; he even let out a burp while speaking.

Seeing him stop, Qu Tuotuo asked curiously:

"What saying?"

"Robbery with a woman involved, you either die or get life imprisonment." Yu Dazhang answered with perfect smoothness.

Oh no, this place isn't safe to stay in... Qu Tuotuo noticed that everyone around them was casting strange glances their way.

She awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, called the owner over to settle the bill, then pulled Yu Dazhang out of the barbecue shop quickly.

"Yue~"

Stepping outside into the wind, Yu Dazhang hugged a large tree by the roadside and vomited violently.

Oh no, you absolutely cannot collapse... Qu Tuotuo stood beside him, patting his back while praying.

Early the next morning.

Li Xuehe had finished preparing breakfast and was hesitating whether to wake Yu Dazhang.

Last night, her son had been drunk out of his mind and was brought back by a girl so beautiful it was unbelievable.

Judging by the girl's appearance and the elegance of her clothing and style, she was definitely from a wealthy family.

She was probably the "friend who isn't a friend" her son had mentioned before.

The girl spoke very politely and had even helped carry her son all the way to his bed.

If it hadn't been so late, Li Xuehe really would have liked to have a proper chat with her.

Just as she was thinking this, a noise suddenly came from her son's room; it was clear he had woken up.

However, after waiting a minute, her son still didn't come out.

Just as she was about to go take a look, a "clap" sound suddenly rang out from inside the room.

Li Xuehe froze.

Why does that sound so much like a slap?

Immediately after, "clap, clap, clap, clap, clap~" five more consecutive sounds followed.

Then came Yu Dazhang's voice, filled with grief and indignation:

"I've said everything I should and shouldn't have. Aaaaaaaah, I can't live anymore! Let me die!!"
