Chapter 555: Hey! It's just one of our own

No matter which one it was, it didn't sound very real to him, did it? It felt like listening to a myth.

Isn't this the volatile Stock Market? As the saying goes, even if an immortal came to the Stock Market, they would be skinned three times over; yet, she has never lost money, which is truly terrifying.

After scanning the Stock Market, An Yinan quickly wrote a note and handed it directly to Yun Mo.

Yun Mo followed the numbers and, according to everyone's positions, delivered them one by one.

The Stock Market opened, and the trading queue was packed with people. An Yinan was in no rush with her own main account; once she moved, many people at the Exchange would have to move, so it was better to let those fifteen people finish trading first.

"Li Zai, this is for you." An Yinan handed the note to him. Xie Yunkang saw the numbers on it and specifically checked the records, but didn't notice anything unusual.

"Okay."

The people in the Main Hall outside, as well as those in the various Small Halls, were all waiting for her next move. Seeing Lu Xiaoli go out, they immediately sent people out.

The people in the Main Hall even followed directly to line up; never mind whether they owned those stocks, they had to get in line first.

Once there is a lot of selling, those at the back suffer more than those at the front.

In an instant, the Regional Economics was overcrowded.

Security personnel had to step in to maintain order on the scene.

That young man had originally followed along to see if he could help with anything, only to discover this chaotic trading area.

"Excuse me, let me through." He felt embarrassed to squeeze past and spoke very politely.

"Let you through? Let you through what? Go to the back of the line. Don't you know about first come, first served?"

"Still wanting to get through—you ask the people behind you, who doesn't want to get through?"

A middle-aged man started ranting at him; he had run slowly and only just managed to queue up here, so how much money would he lose now?

"It's like this, I'm not trading. I have someone I know in front, I'm looking for a friend." The young man was still explaining.

That middle-aged man became even angrier.

"I've seen plenty of people like you. You know someone, so one person in line means you can cut in?"

"With me here, don't even think about it!"

The middle-aged man widened his eyes, spittle flying everywhere, spraying the young man's face.

The young man felt a bit hopeless.

Just at this moment, "Xiao Liu, why are you here? Come over quickly!"

Lu Xiaoli's voice came from inside.

That middle-aged man, as well as the dawdling people nearby, all paused, then looked at Xiao Liu.

"Hey! It's just one of our own."

"Young man, no need to be so polite. You should have just said you were looking for Li Zai. Never mind me letting you through, even the people in front would all let you through."

"It's a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple—one family not recognizing another!"

The middle-aged man was also a character; having just finished ranting, he immediately greeted him with a smile, grinning on the outside while crying on the inside.

Could he not cry?

Li Zai was now someone under the Madam's protection, and this person was surely also one of the Madam's people, and now...

It's over!

Xiao Liu was also a bit stunned. Watching this turn of events, it took him a long time to react to what exactly was going on.

In his heart, he felt even more admiration for Comrade An.

"I just came to take a look." Xiao Liu smiled awkwardly; the enthusiasm of the people around him made him feel a bit overwhelmed.

Is Hong Kong City like this now?

Is the atmosphere in Hong Kong City changing too fast?

Or is Comrade An's influence a bit too large?

Now he didn't even need to speak; others opened a path for him, letting him walk to Li Zai's side under the gaze of the crowd. It always felt a bit strange.

"The process here is like this!"

Lu Xiaoli began to introduce it to him, including the trading hours, the trading process, the trading rules, and finally, he whispered to him why the people behind were being so polite to everyone.

Xiao Liu had felt it was an exaggeration when hearing it from others, but seeing the gazes of the people around him, he clearly understood that this was the truth.

Even if he couldn't believe it, it was still an unchangeable fact.

"Thank you." Xiao Liu said to Lu Xiaoli.

Lu Xiaoli patted his shoulder, "One of our own, why be so polite."

Afterward, waiting for the Exchange to issue the slips, he signed them on behalf of the Madam, completing several clearances.

"Li Zai, which one is it this time?" The people queuing behind, seeing him finish, hurriedly asked.

Some had bought one share following the Madam, some bought two, and some bought several.

If they didn't ask clearly, by the end, they wouldn't know which shares they were.

Lu Xiaoli smiled and told everyone plainly which shares the Madam had instructed. Those who didn't have the same stocks left the queue, while those who did checked their holdings to see how much money they could make if they cleared their positions.

On the way back to the Small Hall, Xiao Liu asked in confusion, "You just told everyone like that?"

Isn't money supposed to be earned by oneself?

If you tell everyone, how can you still make money?

Lu Xiaoli smiled, "I asked the Madam the same thing."

"Guess what the Madam said?" He looked at Xiao Liu. Hearing their accents, he knew these few people weren't from Hong Kong City, but what did that matter?

Regardless of whether the Madam was from Hong Kong City or not, she had led him to earn so much; without the Madam, his family would have been unable to put food on the table long ago. In his heart, the Madam was his benefactor.

Xiao Liu thought for a moment, and in the end, he shook his head.

"What did she say?"

Lu Xiaoli recalled the Madam's expression at the time, her voice calm and carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food."

"Those people see us making money every day, and when they can't make ends meet, that will be the beginning of a vicious cycle."

"When a person is in a vicious state, they are capable of doing anything. Since it doesn't affect us, we might as well do them a favor."

"Doing good deeds every day, scraping a bit of skin off the capital, and letting everyone have a meal—that doesn't seem bad either."

Hong Kong City, a lawless zone, an immigrant area with stowaways, criminals, and intricate gangs; needless to say, the public security is extremely chaotic.

If someone really wants to disregard everything, they can still stir up some trouble.

Rather than that, since it doesn't affect my own interests, I might as well be a good person.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Liu fell into deep thought.

At first, he was unconvinced.

Their Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade was the lifeblood of the national economy and foreign exchange; having a minister and an officer like him cooperate with an unknown person, he was certainly unhappy in his heart, and he also wanted to know who this person really was and what kind of ability she actually had.

But now...

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back; if it were him, not to mention whether he had the eye for stocks, he seemed to be far inferior just in terms of conduct and dealing with people.

Now he was completely convinced, and even felt admiration for An Yinan.
