Chapter 393 Lu Xinyi's Stubbornness Leads to Huge Losses

Although international markets allow for extended trading hours due to global connectivity, Shi Nian and Lu Xinyi were in the Asian session, which closed in the afternoon.

Lu Xinyi drove back at noon to wait for the afternoon's developments.

However, copper prices did not fall in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, although the increase was not as significant as in the morning, it still rose.

At the close of trading, Lu Xinyi looked at the losses on her account and felt anxious, but she still tried to reassure herself—it's okay, it hasn't reached the stop-loss line yet, the news-driven price increase can't be that much, just hold on, the copper price will drop tomorrow.

But on the second trading day...

Copper prices have not fallen; they are still rising.

By the close of trading, Lu Xinyi had incurred huge losses due to using triple leverage.

At that moment, she thought, "Let's hold on a little longer. It's already risen for two days in a row, and it'll fall tomorrow."

Perhaps there will be some other news tomorrow?

Perhaps there's some kind of turnaround at the copper mines in Country G?

She might need to change her clothes to a different color, or perhaps the house shouldn't have anything in a color that's considered unlucky.

The third trading day.

Copper prices are still rising.

At this point, she was being prompted to add more money to her account; otherwise, the system would automatically withdraw all her funds once the losses reached a certain level.

Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth and raised some more funds with her friends in the morning to add to the investment.

When the market closed in the afternoon, the price of copper finally came down a bit, and Lu Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally going to start falling," Lu Xinyi muttered to herself. "I'll add some more tomorrow morning and keep pushing it down. I have to bring Shi Nian back to square one!"

The fourth trading day.

Before Lu Xinyi could add more funds, her account was liquidated.

Copper prices suddenly surged, hitting the break-even point.

By this time, her account funds had been emptied.

Not a single penny left.

Lu Xinyi stared blankly at her account.

Even now, she still hasn't realized what has happened.

Why is it still rising after so many days of increases? Didn't it start to decline?

But thinking about these things now is useless.

Because there was no money left in her account.

At this moment, she stared at the pale white ceiling, feeling numb and unsure of what to do.

She stood there in a daze for a long time.

By the afternoon, copper prices finally stopped rising and began to fall.

The morning's charge was the last one in the short term.

But it was no use; Lu Xinyi's account was empty.

At this moment, Lu Xinyi could only pray that the price of copper would drop quickly, so that she wouldn't suffer a loss for nothing, and that Shi Nian would also suffer a loss.

However, Shi Nian's thoughts were completely different from Lu Xinyi's.

Shi Nian had already begun his retreat, in batches.

By the third trading day, Shi Nian had already withdrawn from the market.

On the fourth trading day, I didn't have time to think about anything at all.

She had already taken a large sum of money and left the market.

The company even gave everyone a day off.

Apart from one or two people who stayed on duty just in case, everyone else was resting.

Just as Lu Xinyi was cursing incessantly, Shi Nian was at the Huo family's residence.

Because Yi Shi is not at work, she is currently in Huo Yanmo's office.

Sisi came along too.

Right now, I'm playing with Big Orange.

Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo sat on the sofa watching Sisi and Daju roll around in a ball.

"What are your plans for the future?" Huo Yanmo asked, recalling Shi Nian's recent impressive moves. "Will you continue with futures trading?"

Shi Nian shook her head.

“My focus isn’t on that,” Shi Nian replied.

Huo Yanmo's eyes were full of admiration.

Whether it's gold or copper, she can avoid being greedy.

Shi Nian was teasing the big orange cat with a cat toy, and Si Si joined in the fun.

Not hearing Huo Yanmo's reply, she slightly raised her head and saw Huo Yanmo's gentle eyes beside her.

Shi Nian smiled and said, "I'm planning to go to Yu Yan's place soon. Gu Qian has been back in China for a while now. I wonder how the technological breakthrough is going."

Huo Yanmo nodded. Shi Nian had told him about these plans before.

“Lu Xinyi probably won’t give up so easily,” Huo Yanmo said. “I heard from Junhui that there are rumors in their small circle that Lu Xinyi has raised funds several times recently, and no one knows what she’s planning to do with them.”

Shi Nian thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know her."

The last thing she knew was that Lu Yanzhi had forcibly ordered a retreat when Lu Xinyi was already in the early stages of losses.

Shi Nian had no idea what Lu Xinyi would do with the funds she raised afterward.

Of course, Lu Xinyi wouldn't tell.

Shi Nian didn't care about this.

The market is always very risky, and one wrong move can lead to huge losses. She took many factors into consideration before making this decision.

Although we made a profit this time, we don't know what will happen next.

So it's best to stop while you're ahead.

"Let's not talk about her anymore," Shi Nian said with a smile. "Li Tongruo invited me to dinner, and it's almost time, so I have to go."

Old Master Li clearly knew something, and Li Tongruo had always been kind to her.

After saying that, Shi Nian hugged Si Si again.

The little baby is so cute!

Sisi giggled, her body covered in orange fur, and she rubbed against Shi Nian, getting covered in it.

...

Dining room.

When Shi Nian sat down, there were still a few cat hairs on her body that hadn't been removed.

Li Tongruo arrived a little later and saw Shi Nian picking off the last few cat hairs and wrapping them in a tissue.

Shi Nian looked up when she heard the sound of high heels. When she saw Li Tongruo push open the door to the private room and come in, she immediately stood up.

"I was playing with the cat with Sisi just now, and a few hairs got stuck to it," Shi Nian said.

Li Tongruo smiled and closed the door to the private room: "That big orange cat from the Huo family?"

Shi Nian nodded.

“I’ve bought quite a lot of merchandise related to that big orange cat,” Li Tongruo said as she sat down.

“It seems like there’s a new product coming out soon. I’ll have someone send it to you when it’s available,” Shi Nian said casually.

“Okay.” Li Tongruo nodded.

The two chatted casually while eating.

The main points mentioned were recent events.

as well as--

"Ruoruo, about that thing I asked you to do before..." Shi Nian finally spoke, "How's it going?"

Li Tongruo put down her cutlery and looked at Shi Nian, saying, "There's nothing I can do. I've asked Grandpa several times, but he won't tell me."

Shi Nian was slightly disappointed.

“Shi Nian, don’t overthink it. The truth about your father will come out eventually,” Li Tongruo comforted her. “My grandfather has his own reasons for not saying anything.”

Shi Nian nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you."

She paused for a moment, then looked down at the table and said, "Actually, I know that, but you know, this has always been a hurdle in my heart. I must find out the truth about my father."

Previously, Shi Nian had asked Li Tongruo to subtly probe Old Master Li, not seeking a direct answer, but hoping to find some clues.

But it seems that it still won't work.
