Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Won’t Last Long

On the way, Lu Youxi looked at her phone and sighed.

Right now, she couldn’t trade stocks through her phone and could only do so through a computer.

She made some money but would have to buy a laptop, so she wouldn’t have to keep running to the stock exchange.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that there were so many things she needed money for!

Upon arriving at the stock exchange, Lu Youxi didn’t go to the counter but headed straight to the trading terminal.

She opened the webpage and her gaze lingered on one particular stock.

Chengzhou Technology.

Lu Youxi remembered that in her previous life, around this time, Chengzhou Technology’s stock price underwent turbulence and became quite unstable.

By the time she rose to a high position at Lin’s, the entire Chengzhou Group was on a decline.

Especially the electronic products of Chengzhou Technology, they went from initially brilliant inventions to mediocrity, gradually surpassed by other brands.

Of course, even in decline, they were still far more formidable than Lin’s.

For Lin’s, a declining Chengzhou was still a behemoth.

In her past life, Lu Youxi had conducted a private analysis of Chengzhou’s decline, which started when Chengzhou changed its leader.

Around this time in her past life, Chengzhou officially announced Zhou Xueyi as their new CEO.

As for what happened to the former CEO, Chengzhou didn’t say.

Lu Youxi vaguely remembered rumors that the previous CEO had gone missing or something.

In any case, after many years, he hadn’t been found and most likely was already dead.

When Lu Youxi heard this gossip, she was still a Jing University student.

Back then, she was just an ordinary student who never imagined she could become a CEO one day.

The highest goal at that time was to pass the civil service exams after graduation.

Naturally, she had no concern for Chenzhou’s personnel issues.

She glanced at it once and that was all.

It was only later, when she entered the business world and saw Chengzhou’s decline, that she felt regretful and reviewed its past.

But at this moment, Lu Youxi uttered a puzzled "Huh".

According to her memory from her last life, Chengzhou Technology’s stock trend should be constantly fluctuating, like an EKG.

But now, Chengzhou Technology’s stock was showing steady growth.

She reviewed the previous trends.

There were occasional fallbacks, but overall performance was very good.

Could it be that even this had changed in this life?

She, a mere butterfly, surely couldn’t impact Chengzhou Technology.

Any change should only cause minor disruptions to the people around her.

However, Lu Youxi didn’t dare to buy Chengzhou Technology’s stock at this time.

Even though it looked stable, she was constantly reminded by her memories of her past life that something unexpected could happen.

Moreover, Chengzhou Technology’s stock price was quite expensive—something that a small investor like her, with just five thousand yuan in hand, couldn’t afford. Even if she could buy some, the profit margin would be minimal.

Lu Youxi had already chosen her stock.

Baixin Technology.

Baixin Technology was currently very cheap, an inconspicuous stock.

But Lu Youxi remembered that this stock had a strong momentum and had benefited from a false bull market, increasing tenfold in value.

However, it was closely followed by a major bear market, and this stock also suffered from continuous drops to its limit.

It was the stock Lu Youxi had carefully selected, affordable in price, and with her current capital of five thousand yuan, she could buy quite a lot.

She just needed to sell the stock at the peak.

It was just the right time before Baixin Technology’s stock price started to rise.

Lu Youxi invested all her five thousand yuan into it and then hurried back to Jing University for her classes.

On her way back, Lu Youxi received a text message from Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan: "Do you want to go house hunting this Saturday?"

Lu Youxi did her calculations. The bear market was coming early.

She would look at houses first, and by the time she was ready to make a decision, her stocks would almost be ready to sell.

So Lu Youxi replied to him, "Okay."

Lu Youxi returned to her dormitory.

"Youxi, you’re finally back," Lu Xiaohui said, excited upon seeing Lu Youxi return.

"What’s up?" Lu Youxi asked, puzzled as she placed her bag on the table and pulled over a stool to sit.

"Gossip, we’ve been waiting for you to come back so we could tell you," Xia Jinqiao ran over, "We were almost bursting with it."

Mo Yuchun, though not talkative, also nodded along.

Lu Youxi was surprised—could Mo Yuchun also be so interested in gossip?

"What gossip?" To be honest, Lu Youxi was quite interested in gossip herself.

"Lu Youbang’s girlfriend, she actually spoke up for him," Xia Jinqiao couldn’t hold it in any longer and blurted out, "His girlfriend is in the same grade and major as him, her name is Huang Mengyao. I heard her family’s conditions are very good. Her dad is a leader around here. I don’t know what love potion Lu Youbang fed Huang Mengyao, or how he explained things to her. Anyway, after Huang Mengyao went back today, she told her dorm mates that Lu Youbang was being wronged."

Xia Jinqiao shared Lu Youbang’s explanation to Huang Mengyao.

Lu Youxi wasn’t surprised that Xia Jinqiao and the others knew.

This version of events was surely spreading through the college again.

Telling her dorm mates was just like when she initially told Lu Xiaohui and the others, right?

To have her dorm mates spread it further.

But how many people believed it was another matter.

However, it did save Lu Youbang some face.

"I don’t believe it anyway," Lu Xiaohui pouted, "He came to find you today, and after what you said, he didn’t have a word to say. If he was truly innocent, wouldn’t he find a reason to defend himself? He couldn’t find any defense during the open confrontation between you two today. If Huang Mengyao hadn’t called him, he probably wouldn’t have had the courage to leave."

"Yeah, I just asked around, and it seems like sixty percent of our batch doesn’t believe it. Some are neutral, thinking we need to see how things unfold," said Mo Yuchun.

"It doesn’t matter, he can’t hop around for much longer," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "Wait till my aunt and grandparents come over and tear off his layer of hypocrisy."

"Your grandparents spoil him the most, right? Will they come to expose him?" Lu Xiaohui asked, puzzled.

Lu Youxi shook her head, "My grandparents have always cared most about themselves, and they don’t need to expose him directly. As long as they are here, everyone will naturally understand what’s going on."

Lu Youxi didn’t hide anything from her roommates and called home in front of them.

The phone rang for a while, and Liu Yushu picked up, "Youxi."

Liu Yushu had long committed Lu Youxi’s mobile number to memory.

Recognizing the number on the phone screen at first glance, she picked up.

"How are you? It was your first day at university today, did you get used to it? How’s your studying? Can you keep up with the pace?" Liu Yushu bombarded her with a series of questions, "Oh right, your dad is chopping wood in the yard, I’ll call him over."

Before Lu Youxi could respond, she heard Liu Yushu calling for Lu Zhenguo on the phone.

It was now noon, just when Lu Zhenguo would typically return from the fields.

Only then did Lu Youxi remember that she hadn’t eaten yet either.

In a short while, Lu Zhenguo came over.
