Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Dangerous Looks_1

"I’ll be the death of you!" Zhou Chengyu said, hands on his hips, fingers gesticulating wildly in the air, "With your little life, you could be gone in a flash, gone, do you know what that means? How come you never listen to me?"

Shen Dong knew it was well-intentioned, but he stubbornly retorted, "If everyone acts as indifferent as you, would there be any humanity left in this world?"

"Oh, so now you’re lecturing me?" Zhou Chengyu said, his anger making him roll up his sleeves again.

"I submit!" Shen Dong clapped his hand over his head, shrinking back.

Zhou Chengyu’s ’that’s more like it’ expression huffed and puffed into a little ball.

Sitting in the front row, Tang Yuchan had been suppressing her giggles for a while, only turning around after Zhou Chengyu’s anger had subsided, "Chengyu, don’t be too angry, we..."

"I haven’t even started on you yet. Is he a child, and you’re also a child?"

Great, Zhou Chengyu turned into a cannon blasting in all directions.

It’s always better to be scolded than to be ignored.

Shen Dong, though initially resentful, felt a warm satisfaction inside after being nagged all the way.

He took a deep breath through his nose and patted the driver’s seat, "Hey, is there a place near the airport where I can buy gifts? I need to get something for an elder, um, and for a middle school girl, too."

"Sure, I can take you guys there."

Going out to buy gifts, a perfectly normal task.

Yet someone in the car was feeling uneasy. Women are emotional. After a ridiculous ordeal, Tang Yuchan had a strange shadow cast over her heart, especially when she thought about Shen Dong’s anxious yet reassuring eyes during her moment of panic.

How good it is to stay calm in the face of danger.

Thinking about it, Tang Yuchan felt increasingly uncomfortable, "We’d better hurry; there’s a lot to do at home."

"There is a lot to do. I have to buy some gifts for my dad." Not hiding it from those close to him, Shen Dong revealed his true feelings, "Sometimes my dad scolds me, and it makes me angry. But when I think about it carefully, it’s all for my own good."

Zhou Chengyu caught the implied meaning and snorted.

He said earnestly, "Knowing it’s for your own good isn’t enough. You have to listen. You really shouldn’t get involved in such things."

This interruption prevented Tang Yuchan from voicing what she had been building up to say, leaving her to bottle it up inside.

She fiddled frustratedly with the tassel on her bag, then reconsidered. They’re all just clueless kids, what do they understand about affection and love? Moreover, what kind of spark could there be between a student and a businessman—there’s just a generation gap!

Right, upon this realization, Tang Yuchan suddenly laughed out loud, like a girl who had fallen in love, full of sweet anxieties.

An idea struck her, and she steered the topic to his and Shen Dong’s shared interest, "About the collaboration with Penguin, how do you plan to handle it? Are you going to keep it a secret at first?"

"No secrets." Shen Dong suddenly became serious when the conversation turned to business.

He assured her, then stated solemnly, "As soon as we get the six-digit Penguin account numbers, we’ll swap in the next batch of recruits. Huaxu’s exclusive icons will be on the cover of the Penguin number.

We’ll launch a high-profile campaign straight away. Our products are already luxury goods, considered high-end. In the future, Huaxu’s icons will be synonymous with luxury. We’ve got to make sure customers spend the least but enjoy the highest class."

"No problem," Tang Yuchan casually agreed.

She was already planning in her mind to establish the strictest quality control department to conduct random inspections on product quality and the Huaxu team.

At the airport mall, Shen Dong, without hesitation, bought a lot in big and small packages and boarded the plane home.

Traveling was exhausting. After flying and riding in a car, bustling and busy, they finally made it back to Hai City.

As soon as he got home, Shen Dong remembered and, while Tang Yuchan went to take a shower, he stealthily asked Zhou Chengyu, "So, did you buy it?"

"Bought it, yeah, but not long after, the price went up by several tens of bucks. How much do we stand to make?" Zhou Chengyu asked with an eager look on his face, not understanding but knowing that price increases meant profit.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong felt a pang of envy.

He hurriedly logged into his security token and sat in front of the computer, "Are you nuts? Did it really go up by tens of dollars?"

"What, lost money?"

Zhou Chengyu’s face turned dark in an instant, and he cursed as soon as he spoke, "I knew this thing was unreliable, so many stock traders jump off buildings..."

"Stop shouting!" Shen Dong frowned and yelled, looking down to see the door open; he whispered mysteriously, "Go close the door."

"What’s going on?" Zhou Chengyu was panicked; this wasn’t just three or two bucks for a pack of cigarettes, it was over a hundred million!

Once the door was closed, Shen Dong called Zhou Chengyu over with a hook of his hand, "What we have here is foreign exchange; a ten-dollar rise is equivalent to doubling the principal!"

"What!" Zhou Chengyu exclaimed, quickly covering his mouth, "In just that trembling moment, it multiplied by several times?"

"Let’s see, I don’t know either; perhaps we missed the best opportunity, and it fell back again," Shen Dong said, even more excited than when he was lying low in Tianyi. This, if it worked out, would be worth billions in the blink of an eye!

Damn!

Upon logging into the MT4 and checking the account, Shen Dong almost passed out in shock.

Watching the available funds increase, he turned shakily and said, "Chengyu, we, we’ve struck it rich!"

"Really?"

"That’s right."

"Not a problem if it bounced back; while we were on our way home, it rose to six times the value!"

"Six... six times, that’s six billion?" Zhou Chengyu seemed to be gasping for breath, his hand sliding back and forth over his heart.

His eyes were red, swallowing saliva in big gulps, pointing at the screen and then at Shen Dong, "In the end, did we lose or make money?"

Shen Dong, amused by his bewilderment, burst into laughter.

After the laughter, Shen Dong immediately chose to close positions, "Of course, we made money. Six billion, plus the original three billion in capital; our assets are now nine billion!"

Zhou Chengyu was so excited he didn’t know what to say.

Watching Shen Dong operate on the trading platform, he mistook it for making more trades and immediately prompted, "Buy more, this thing really makes money fast."

"Buy more my ass," Shen Dong glared at Zhou Chengyu dismissively and pointed to the deep V bottom, tapping it a few times, "If we didn’t have three billion in capital as a backup, we would have gotten a margin call at this point!"

"What does that mean?"

"Lose everything!"

Shen Dong wasn’t exaggerating. He deeply understood the financial market and warned Zhou Chengyu, "Don’t ever think easy money is safe and just dive in; you could earn six times today and lose six times tomorrow!"

Without a solid backing, Shen Dong would never gamble in finance.

Zhou Chengyu kept nodding as he listened.

He stared at the screen with a deeply terrified expression, "Right, if it hadn’t bounced back, we could have lost it all in an instant."

What Shen Dong felt most grateful for was that they only had a thirty percent position. Had it been fifty percent, they would have been wiped out at the depth of the deep V, and now they were incredibly lucky to have narrowly escaped.

Seeing Zhou Chengyu still mumbling at the screen, worried that his buddy might act impulsively, he quickly shut down the computer, "Stop pondering, dealing with real estate is the real deal. Tomorrow, go and settle the owed payment to the boss for the construction project, and also, secure the land in the coastal fishing village!"

"Alright!"

That "alright" made Shen Dong’s heart surge. Having money was indeed exhilarating; saying you’re going to buy land and then just buying it.

He couldn’t believe that he had accidentally become a billionaire!
