A chorus of wails erupted in the banquet hall.

Because quite a few people switched to trading stocks with Li Xiaolong, even when Zhou Chen's conversation with the core team members reached their ears, they still didn't take it seriously.

But now, they are all filled with regret.

If they hadn't wavered and had just followed Zhou Chen, they wouldn't be stuck in the stock market now.

Many people are filled with deep regret.

Those who firmly believed in Zhou Chen all wore smug expressions; they had won their bet and made a fortune.

The internet is buzzing right now.

"Tsk tsk, Zhou the stock god's foreign stocks have hit the daily limit again. Where are all those people who were pessimistic about Zhou the stock god? Have they all disappeared? Are they too ashamed to face anyone, or did they run off to the rooftop?"

"Why are they all mute?"

"I admit it, I regret it. I was foolish to question Zhou the stock market guru's abilities. It's all that Li family young master's fault. Bah, that damn young master, he ruined my life. I curse his grandpa."

"That's right, it's all Li Xiaolong's fault. Damn it, don't let me see him, or I'll kill him."

Those who had previously spoken well of Li Xiaolong now almost universally expressed their hatred, hurling insults and vehement criticisms at him.

Li Xiaolong naturally couldn't see any of this. At this moment, his mood had plummeted to rock bottom. On the big screen, the stock he had bet on remained completely still because it had fallen as low as it could go.

The outcome of the bet is already quite clear.

He lost!

He lost to Zhou Chen again.

"Li Xiaolong, give me my money back!"

"I only bought this because I believed your nonsense. You made me lose all my savings. You have to make up for my losses."

"And me, you have no ability, so what are you pretending for? You said other people's stocks were being shorted, but in the end, you were the one who got shorted. Are you deliberately trying to screw us over?"

Many of the business owners who had lost money disregarded their pride and came up to Li Xiaolong, loudly questioning him.

Faced with the public's outrage, Li Xiaolong remained silent. What was he going to say? Should he apologize to everyone?

"Gentlemen, we at Snapdragon didn't force you to buy this. You bought it willingly. As adults, you should be responsible for your own actions. Isn't it unfair of you to blame our Snapdragon company for everything? Or do you think the Li family is weak and easily bullied?"

At this moment, Li Zhenrong stepped forward, blocking Li Xiaolong's path. His serious expression and imposing presence silenced the clamor.

"That makes sense, but he's urging us to sell stocks that could clearly make money, and we're not even allowed to say a word?"

"That's right, I lost millions, it's all gone down the drain."

“I lost even more, more than ten million.”

Several people, unafraid of Li Zhenrong, continued to vent their frustrations.

However, Li Zhenrong's next sentence left them speechless once again.

"Did your losses compare to those of the Li family?"

“Besides that two billion, we lost half of all the businesses in the Li family. We are the biggest losers.”

Those who blamed Li Xiaolong fell silent, because Li Zhenrong was right. The Li family suffered the greatest loss among them all; half of their family business shares would be given away for nothing from now on.

Clap clap clap!

The sound of slapping hands rang out.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to look in that direction.

“I admire the Li family head for accepting defeat. So, I will take over half of the Li family’s shares. I’m sure the Li family head will cooperate with me.”

The one clapping was none other than Zhou Chen, who walked slowly in with his core team members.

Li Zhenrong looked at Zhou Chen with mixed feelings. He had originally intended to accept Zhou Chen's generous gift, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen had instead taken a piece of his flesh from him.

At this moment,

Li Zhenrong couldn't help but regret not speaking up to stop the bet at the time; he could have done so.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Now that everything is settled, the Li family has no choice but to accept their defeat in front of everyone.

Otherwise, they will lose credibility.

Not only will they lose the opportunity to do business in mainland China, but they will also suffer a devastating blow in Hong Kong.

In this bet, it seems that Li Xiaolong lost to Zhou Chen, but Li Zhenrong also lost to Zhou Chen in the same way.

How exactly did Zhou Chen manage to do that?

Could it be that he already knew about the trend of foreign stocks?

Li Zhenrong couldn't understand it, and finally gave a bitter smile, replying, "Our Li family can afford to lose. If Boss Zhou has any doubts, you can send someone to take over tomorrow."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, "No rush, I trust the character of Patriarch Li."

Speaking of this,

Zhou Chen turned to look at Li Xiaolong, who was standing behind Li Zhenrong with his head hanging low. Li Xiaolong had been the center of attention today, but in the end, he was thoroughly humiliated.

"Young Master Li, you've lost our bet."

Li Xiaolong raised his head, as if he wanted to say something.

But then he saw Zhou Chen yawn, shrug, and look away from him, no longer looking at him, but instead speaking to Li Zhenrong: "It's getting late, Patriarch Li. Now that the bet is over, we'll be leaving."

After saying that,

Zhou Chen waved his hand without turning his head and left, followed closely by Wang Rui, Xu Dalong, and the others.

Li Xiaolong stared at Zhou Chen's back, biting his lip. He knew that Zhou Chen was clearly telling him that he didn't take him seriously and ignored his existence. In Zhou Chen's mind, he was just a clown in the previous bet. The only person who could talk to Zhou Chen was his grandfather, Li Zhenrong, not him.

Do you want to stay here and embarrass yourself?

Li Zhenrong turned his head and said calmly.

One sentence made Li Xiaolong freeze, and then he followed Li Zhenrong, ignoring everyone's gaze, and quickly left the banquet hall.

The main character is gone.

But the play wasn't over yet; there were still many people in the banquet hall.

At this time,

Those who made money by following Zhou Chen in stock trading no longer hid their wealth, laughing loudly and saying things like how much money they had made, things that made people hate them.

But they did it anyway, because it felt good.

Many people had previously mocked them, but now they've retaliated by giving them a good slap in the face, so of course they should celebrate without restraint.

Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's faces were ashen; they could no longer smile.

My attempt to get revenge on Zhou Chen has failed yet again!

Even the entire Li family suffered a setback in front of Zhou Chen.

Just now, when Zhou Chen left, they were afraid of being embarrassed, so they deliberately hid in the crowd and didn't dare to let Zhou Chen see them.

How embarrassing!

They almost succeeded, but Zhou Chen turned the tables.

Zhou Na, standing in the crowd, also had mixed feelings.

She had thought Zhou Chen might not lose, but when it actually happened, she still found it hard to believe. Zhou Chen really did it, creating another miracle.

...

Ahem, my darlings, I didn't mean to write this, sometimes, when you're really into it, you just naturally write this.

It's really not my fault.

I am innocent, please give me some motivation, okay?
