Chapter 550: I... am here to apologize to the Madam

A knock at the door came, interrupting the quiet and stillness inside the room.

Chen Xun glanced at Yun Mo, who immediately understood, changed his expression, and opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" He smiled, looking like a sunny, cheerful big boy...

Gone was his usual devil-may-care attitude, and gone was the stern, icy look he wore when on a mission.

"I... am here to apologize to the Madam." A man said, his face flushing red.

This person was none other than the one who had mocked Lu Xiaoli earlier...

He had spent years hunting geese, only to have his eyes pecked by one.

A woman who didn't look very old actually possessed such courage and such ability.

Although Lu Xiaoli had some strength, in the eyes of old hands like them, it wasn't enough to be worth looking at.

An Yinan did not turn her head, merely extending her hand.

"Our Madam says that the matter is in the past and she will not hold it against you."

"If you want to follow the trend, feel free."

Chen Xun immediately interpreted this and then said with a smile to the person outside.

"Thank you for the Madam's magnanimity." The man let out a sigh of relief.

In this Exchange, there was this rule: if there was a conflict, one side had to apologize and receive forgiveness, otherwise, they were not allowed to follow the other's position.

To do so would be to be despised by everyone.

With his status and position, he could not do anything that defied the rules.

Nor could he defy them.

But now that he had received forgiveness, he finally let out a sigh of relief, and the flushed face he had been holding back slowly began to show excitement.

"Is this what it means to slap faces with data?" Lu Xiaoli swallowed hard; in the face of absolute strength, it seemed that arguing was just a waste of time?

An Yinan smiled, "Is this not better than arguing? Does it not feel more satisfying?"

"The winner is king; unnecessary bickering and unnecessary fighting are meaningless."

Lu Xiaoli nodded hurriedly, but realizing he was in a corner where the Madam couldn't see him, he quickly spoke up, "Yes."

After hearing Lu Xiaoli's reply, she smiled and shook her head; he was still a bit young after all.

Over these past few days, Zhang Cheng had seen another side of An Yinan.

Or rather, it wasn't exactly another side.

It was that terrifying feeling of strategic planning; her presence in this Exchange now felt the same as it had on the battlefield...

Everything seemed to be under her control, even though it was a different field and different things were happening.

An Yinan looked at him, "Record it."

Zhang Cheng lowered his head quickly, "Oh."

He recorded this node clearly.

In these past few days, many people had wanted to come and pay a visit, but at An Yinan's door, two dark-faced men were stationed, saying nothing, just guarding the place.

In any case, no one could disturb her.

If one were to ask who was the most popular person in this Exchange now, it was definitely Lu Xiaoli; everyone who saw him now was all smiles, whereas before they had only mocked and scolded him, but now everyone had a smiling face.

He had lived at the bottom of society, so he had seen this change in attitude many times; they just wanted to know the information the Madam provided, and after he helped the Madam buy, he would also buy some for himself.

The Madam had given him all of his two months' wages directly; except for keeping enough for two months of food and drink, all the other money had been left in the stock market.

Over these days, he had also earned quite a bit.

"Li Zai, what did the Madam tell you to buy again?" Some people crowded around, their faces full of flattery.

After Lu Xiaoli finished buying, he stated the code directly; he didn't keep it a secret.

The Madam had said that if anyone asked, he could tell them directly; there was no need to hide it.

Never underestimate someone at the bottom; they might be more terrifying than those at the top.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes; precisely because they have nothing, they are not afraid of losing anything—at worst, it's just one person and one life.

"Go buy it quickly."

"Hurry up and get in line, hurry up."

"Last time I listened to the Madam, I earned three thousand Hong Kong Stock dollars," one person said loudly.

Others also nodded, smiling and looking satisfied, though they didn't mention the amount; but one look at them showed it was only more, not less.

"I earned less, I bought less, I only earned one hundred, but it's enough for the whole family to eat and drink," a man said.

Buying things to take home these past few days, the wife at home had a much better expression, the children weren't crying and making a fuss, and every day he was served like a master; such a life was truly addictive.

The hustle and bustle in the lobby outside did not interrupt the discussion inside.

"This stock is a bit strange." Zhang Cheng discovered another strange stock.

An Yinan looked at that stock and quickly pulled out a slip of paper; when she had lowered her head just now, she had missed the screen flash.

Her eyes had been a bit sore lately, and she would rest them for a while every so often; now Zhang Cheng's records were very clear, and she would look at his notebook later to fill in the data.

"Li Zai, buy it, one hundred thousand for this stock," An Yinan said.

Finally, she had waited for it.

This stock was the darkest of dark horses, with a short cycle and large gains; having just entered the Hong Kong Stock market, it already had the bearing of a dark horse.

"Li Zai, I'm going too." Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment, then handed his notebook to Yun Shu; these past few days, whenever he went to trade, Yun Shu helped him mark the points.

Others could leave An Yinan's side, but only Yun Shu and Chen Xun remained, guarding her at all times, not allowing anyone to get close.

"Leader, there are some major rumors about you outside now; do you need to suppress them?" Yun Shu was a bit worried; if this continued, the Leader would become a target for some people.

An Yinan smiled; it was only a matter of time.

"Since I've entered the game, it can't be suppressed," An Yinan shook her head.

"Then what if we have our people create a distraction?" Chen Xun suggested.

Over these past two days, he had also been very worried; the people outside were just like the fanatical followers of some organization.

He was only afraid of it affecting the safety of Nan Nan.

"That won't work for now. The more conspicuous I am, the safer they are. All the attention is on me, which makes it convenient for them to act in the shadows."

Right now, it is just a minor skirmish; she cannot be the main force in the later stages.

After hearing this, although Chen Xun did not quite agree, he still nodded and consented.

"In all things, safety comes first." He could not bear the thought of losing her.

An Yinan smiled, "Rest assured, this little bit of commotion isn't enough to attract others."

Those big players deal in tens or hundreds of millions at every turn; this amount is nothing.

Not long after the three of them finished talking, Lu Xiaoli returned with Zhang Cheng and Xiao Guo, while Yun Mo had gone out to deliver a message.

Beside this dark horse, there was actually another companion dark horse.

And this companion dark horse was a trap, a harvesting trap.

But now, in this Exchange, An Yinan's reputation had driven many people to invest their capital into the dark horse.

Yet the companion dark horse remained ignored by everyone.
