Chapter 389 A Feint, Shi Nian's Trap

"Yes." After hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately went out to take action.

Shi Nian stared at the computer screen, her eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts.

The computer screen contains the system entry point left by my father, and the cause of his death may very well be hidden within it.

And that black box, she needs to find a way to crack it.

Xiaoyu quickly notified her subordinates to take action.

Not long after, the Lu family...

There was a sudden knock on Lu Xinyi's office door.

"Go in," Lu Xinyi said.

She's been in a good mood lately.

There has been no progress with Yu Yan yet. Although Gu Qian has returned to China, there has been no activity, so Shi Nian's shares have not become more valuable.

Because of her repeated suppression, Shi Nian lost a lot of money on copper.

Although the figures were not yet realized and were just fluctuating numbers, Lu Xinyi was still very happy.

This proves that Shi Nian's success with Yu Yan was purely due to luck, not to her own personal ability.

These past few days, Lu Xinyi has been humming a few lines of a song every time she walks to cheer herself up.

The secretary rushed in and walked up to Lu Xinyi.

“Miss Lu…” the secretary said urgently.

"Take your time," Lu Xinyi said. "What's the matter?"

The secretary immediately handed the tablet to Lu Xinyi.

“We’ve been tricked,” the secretary said. “We just received information that Shi Nian’s focus isn’t on copper, but on gold.”

"What?" Lu Xinyi took the tablet.

"Shi Nian seems to know that someone is watching the company's financial movements, so she released false information to confuse the public. She made us think that her focus was on copper, but in fact, her large funds are in gold, and gold... has been rising for a week! Because of recent news, it even surged yesterday."

The secretary was wiping sweat as she spoke.

Shi Nian's funds are relatively small compared to the international market, so they can't have much impact. Her actions would go unnoticed if you weren't paying attention.

In reality, only Lu Xinyi is paying attention to Shi Nian's funds here. Others basically don't know what Shi Nian has been doing lately and assume that her focus is on Yu Yan.

Recently, Lu Xinyi has been using her funds and influence to suppress copper prices in the short term, and Shi Nian seems to be doing the same thing, continuing to increase prices.

Therefore, Lu Xinyi always believed that she could easily succeed.

Now it turns out that Shi Nian was just feinting?

"What's the situation with the underground copper mines in Country G?" Lu Xinyi asked her secretary.

"There has been no announcement or other news so far," the secretary said, forcing a smile.

"Bang!"

Lu Xinyi slammed her fist on the table with a loud thud.

“So, she did it on purpose,” Lu Xinyi said through gritted teeth. “She used the minor commotion at the copper mine in Country G to spread the news that she was going to gamble on copper, but her real focus was on gold!”

Lu Xinyi kept thinking back.

Indeed, the initial information indicated that Shi Nian's funds were simultaneously invested in gold and copper, and that funds were continuously flowing in in batches.

Because Shi Nian had just returned from G country, and given the news about the copper mines there, she had always assumed that Shi Nian was betting on copper.

Unexpectedly...

Lu Xinyi immediately looked at the gold price.

Gold prices have been rising steadily.

"Ms. Lu, what should we do now?" the secretary asked anxiously.

Lu Xinyi closed her eyes, her mind racing.

But I was interrupted by the same sound every time.

That is—"We cannot let Shi Nian be complacent, we cannot let Shi Nian win!"

Just as Lu Xinyi was about to take action, her secretary reminded her, "Ms. Lu, international gold prices are affected by news, and we cannot make any moves at the moment. Moreover, most of our resources are already invested in copper. If we want to make any further moves, we will need to relocate them."

Lu Xinyi opened her eyes and glared fiercely at her secretary.

The secretary, head bowed, said, "But if we stop suppressing copper prices now, after falling for so many days, they might rebound..."

Lu Xinyi understood what the secretary meant: the prices of the items Shi Nian was handling would also rise.

Lu Xinyi was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder; she absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

She has been shorting copper, meaning she makes more money as the stock price falls, and she has recently made a considerable amount by driving down the stock price.

He thought he could make Shi Nian suffer and feel smug, but he never expected this...

The entire office fell silent.

Only the clock ticked silently.

Lu Xinyi looked at the ground to the side. No, she had to think of a way!

...

Time passed slowly.

On the first day, gold prices continued to rise.

The next day, gold prices fluctuated slightly and fell a little.

On the third day, gold prices rose again, breaking new highs.

On the morning of the third day, Xiaoyu reported the latest situation to Shi Nian in the office.

Shi Nian indicated that she understood.

She came out, looked at the people in the company, and directed them: "Come out in batches, one at a time. Someone is watching us, so try not to be spotted."

Someone immediately asked doubtfully, "Mr. Shi, the price of gold may rise further in the short term. Should we really exit now?"

Shi Nian smiled and said, "Our focus is not on this."

Everyone nodded and began to operate.

On the other side, Lu Xinyi was in great agony.

Especially seeing the price of gold rising all the way up, and thinking that Shi Nian was still making money, Lu Xinyi was furious.

Emotions caused Lu Xinyi to lose her rationality.

She pressed the intercom.

The secretary came in immediately.

"Where are all my assets now?" Lu Xinyi asked.

The secretary answered immediately.

As a member of the Lu family, Lu Xinyi certainly has a lot of assets under her name, but she is already investing, so much of it cannot be withdrawn at once and lacks liquidity. In addition, she has used a lot of money in the copper business, so she has very little flexible cash on hand now.

"Okay, I understand. You can leave now," Lu Xinyi said, dismissing her secretary.

She thought for a moment, found a number, and dialed it.

"An'an? It's me, Lu Xinyi." Lu Xinyi called her friend. "Could you lend me some money recently?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I've only needed it recently. Don't you trust me?"

"Thanks."

Lu Xinyi called more than just this one friend.

After making a round of phone calls, Lu Xinyi felt even angrier.

It's only because Lu Yanzhi is protecting Shi Nian that she could have used Lu's side of the family's resources.

However, she wouldn't let Shi Nian get away with it!

...

On the fourth day, gold prices began to fluctuate.

Lu Xinyi's account balance kept increasing, and the same was true for copper, which made her feel good.

Lu Xinyi had already made a plan.

Gold prices have risen significantly in the short term, and they are easily susceptible to a drop at the slightest sign of trouble. Once the price reaches a certain low, she can then buy more gold and make another profit.

When you're in the right position, reciting it is a piece of cake!

No matter how you look at it, this judgment is correct.

After feeling frustrated for several days, Lu Xinyi finally felt happy.
