Chapter 656: When I see you, it is as if I am seeing him

An Yinan pondered for a moment, then asked, "At that time, did you not discover any other anomalies?"

Professor Zhang gave a bitter laugh, "I was only looking at the stock I had invested in; that was my entire life savings, so how could I have the energy to pay attention to unrelated stocks?"

……

This……

I mean……

If you don't lose money, who would?

For many stocks, even if one isn't following them closely, one still needs to have a general idea in their head.

"And then?" An Yinan wanted to know the subsequent development.

There is a reason why the Zhang family got their start in the United States.

Moreover, it started from Professor Zhang's generation, moving forward step by step, providing the capital for the younger generations to establish themselves.

Professor Zhang smiled, "Later, I met a person, a Huaxia person."

"He had no money, but he took me to do odd jobs, took me to work as a waiter, took me to wash plates and bowls."

Thinking of that time, from despair to even deeper despair.

Darkness.

From someone everyone fawned over, to someone everyone mocked.

"At that time, I didn't dare go to the aristocratic restaurants; those service staff who used to serve me, fawn over me, and wait to receive my tips."

"Mocked me, suppressed me; it was only then that I realized the dark side of humanity."

His expression held no pain, only the memory of that period.

"Later still, I met him, a Huaxia person."

"He said to me, 'Human, as long as you aren't dead, anything is possible.'"

"He said to me, 'Drowning your sorrows in alcohol is merely the act of a coward, and Huaxia has no cowards.'"

"He said to me, 'Human, only when you fall to the lowest point can you bounce back from the bottom and reach higher places.'"

"'Look at those faces, imagine their fawning and groveling; their whole lives are just right here, but we are different.'"

In Professor Zhang's memory, that person's words, every single syllable, even every expression, were so profound, so real, as if everything were a lifetime ago.

An Yinan looked at him; Professor Zhang had met his benefactor.

Someone who could pull him up when he was trapped in a desperate situation.

If he hadn't met such a person, perhaps Professor Zhang wouldn't have reached where he is today, or perhaps he would have miserably finished his life in that foreign land.

But……

He bounced back from the bottom.

The height the Zhang family has reached now, and the contributions made to Huaxia, are not something just anyone could replace.

"Then…… what about that person?" An Yinan asked.

Professor Zhang looked at An Yinan, then shook his head, "He died."

Died.

It was merely two words, yet how heavy they were.

"He died to save me; he was beaten to death," Professor Zhang said, his tone very steady.

The corners of An Yinan's mouth, which usually curled up habitually, were flat at this moment.

Zhang Cheng was also listening carefully, looking at his grandfather, the curiosity in his eyes completely undisguised.

"He said to me."

Professor Zhang's words seemed to be imitating that person, someone who didn't even have a name in this book.

"You are a person with ability, a person with the ability to contribute to Huaxia, while I am not."

"I have no knowledge, no education; what I can do is remit the money from my odd jobs to Huaxia, I can't do anything else."

"But, you can."

"Our country needs help; you must stand up, keep walking, help more people, and become a Doctor for the country."

When Professor Zhang said these words, his expression was neither agitated nor emotional, as if he were repeating trivial words.

But these words deeply shocked the hearts of An Yinan and Zhang Cheng.

What kind of person could achieve such a thing?

An Yinan asked herself, could she do it?

No.

She couldn't!

Within her capabilities, she could do things, but…… she couldn't be this selfless, couldn't be this self-sacrificing, and couldn't be like this……

She is a Doctor, but she only saves lives, not human hearts.

But……

This person, what he saved was the human heart!

Professor Zhang smiled, looking at the two people in front of him, "For this whole life, this person has been in my heart for a very, very long time."

"No matter who I talk about him with, I feel like it's a defilement of him."

When he said this, there was some moisture in Professor Zhang's eyes, and his voice carried a hint of choking.

"But……"

"When I see you, it's as if I am seeing him."

The look in Professor Zhang's eyes as he watched An Yinan carried a smile; the tears in his eyes hadn't dried yet, but his face was filled with gratification and joy.

"Thank you."

The old man sighed, then thanked her softly.

That...

The knot of the Twin Stocks, until today, he had let it go.

If he had not reached the lowest point, he would not have had the courage to stand high again, but now he had done it.

It was worthy of that person, and it was also worthy of his own conscience.

An Yinan did not know how to respond for a moment, nor did she know what to say.

Yet in that moment, she felt that whatever she said would be so superfluous.

"Let's talk about the Twin Stocks in the City," she said softly after a long while, finally finding her voice.

It was as if she were speaking to herself, to Zhang Cheng and Professor Zhang, perhaps...

She was speaking to that person, wasn't she?

Look, I am working hard too.

You were never alone!

"When I discovered this stock, I didn't buy it directly; instead, I observed all the stocks and identified those of the same type with similar data."

"It took me half a day to analyze the possibility of the Double Stocks."

"Subsequently, I carried out the exchange of the Mother-Child Stock."

When she said this, her face was confident and proud.

This was her first confrontation with capital...

And also a drill of capital.

"Child stock, I release; Mother stock, I buy," An Yinan used eight words to describe the situation at the time.

"When capital realized something was wrong and wanted to perform the Mother-Child Stock exchange, my Mother stock had already earned enough money, and I cleared all positions."

"When the Mother-Child Stock changed, I only bought the Mother stock."

The words were simple, but Professor Zhang, a man who had spent half his life on Financial Street, realized that this required a vast amount of experience and a massive amount of calculation.

Without a confident person, the conversion of the Mother-Child Stock would be completely impossible to achieve.

Especially this kind of behavior, which required mastering the patterns and being one step ahead of capital.

The trajectory of capital's movements was entirely led by An Yinan.

And they had no choice but to comply.

This...

It was too difficult.

One could even say it was truly terrifying.

An Yinan smiled, "As long as I calculate the first time correctly, there will be a second time, and a third time."

When she said these things, her eyes narrowed slightly.

In her eyes was a look of mockery.

If you want to play with hawks, you must be prepared to have your eyes pecked out one day.

And she was that sharp beak.

"This method is not something everyone possesses," Professor Zhang said, looking at the records in the notebook, as well as every one of An Yinan's transaction times and the starting and ending amounts of the trades.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter; it could be said that this could completely serve as a case study, one that could enter university textbooks.

It was a beautiful battle.
