In order to achieve good results in the citywide sports competition for students ten days later,
Zhou Chen and his classmates from the school team trained until 8 p.m. under the guidance of Lu Guoliang.
On his first training session, Zhou Chen was suddenly subjected to such intense exercise. Even though he was young, he still felt exhausted and just wanted to go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep.
Just then, he and Xu Dalong returned at the same time and bumped into each other downstairs.
Today's stinky tofu business was similar to usual; everything sold out and the stall closed.
Xu Dalong's return time depends on when the goods are sold out; sometimes it's earlier, sometimes later.
These days, the couple's startup fund has already exceeded 10,000 yuan. Even if they take out a portion to help Li Kaile pay for a stall, it only costs a small amount of money.
Later, Li Kaile made money, with a 70% profit return, and the cost was quickly recovered.
Zhou Chen was confident in this regard, after all, the profit margin of stinky tofu was not to be underestimated.
“Da Long, if you feel tired, you can take a day off. You don’t need to go to the night market every day.”
Thinking that Xu Dalong hadn't taken a single day off in almost a month, Zhou Chen couldn't help but say.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dalong shook his head and chuckled, "Brother Xiao Chen, selling stinky tofu at a stall is so much easier than doing farm work in the countryside. I'm not tired at all."
"Okay, tell me if you're tired. Don't push yourself. Money isn't earned in a day." Zhou Chen nodded, gave her the instructions, and then turned and went back to her room to focus on her studies.
The next day,
When Zhou Chen arrived at the classroom, he saw Li Kaile looking excited and waved to him as he approached.
Before he even sat down, Li Kaile handed a wad of cash to Zhou Chen.
"Brother Chen, this is 81 yuan in total."
Li Kaile chuckled.
"You sold over a hundred yesterday?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.
According to the agreed profit distribution, he would receive a dividend of over 80 yuan, and Li Kaile's turnover would be at least 110 yuan.
Considering the foot traffic in front of the train station in the evening, and with Zhou Ling as a competitor, it's definitely not a small amount of money to have made that much.
Moreover, this was based on the premise that it was Li Kaile's first day setting up his stall.
Hearing this, Li Kaile gave an awkward smile, "Brother Chen, it's not as much as you're saying."
"So these 81...are they all?"
Zhou Chen observed Li Kaile's expression and made a guess.
Li Kaile nodded.
"Since you made all that money from the sales, why did you give it all to me? You only need to give me 70% of the profits."
Zhou Chen asked, puzzled.
Li Kaile scratched his head sheepishly and explained, "Brother Chen, yesterday I gave away a few boxes to build relationships with the stall owners around here, and I also organized a tasting event, so..."
"So, you felt bad for me by giving away my share of the profits, so you didn't keep a single penny for yourself and gave me all the money you earned." Zhou Chen immediately understood. While feeling both amused and exasperated, he also gained a better impression of Li Kaile.
Li Kaile, whose identity had been confirmed, nodded sheepishly.
"This is the money you earned on your first day. Keep it for yourself. There's no need to rush to give it to me." Zhou Chen returned it directly.
"Brother Chen, this won't do. We agreed before that you would guide me in doing business and invest in me. How can I keep all the profits for myself?" Li Kaile's expression changed, and he quickly refused.
“You need money to buy goods. I don’t need it. Just accept it. If you refuse again, I’ll get angry.” Zhou Chen pretended to be serious.
Seeing this, Li Kaile had no choice but to agree and put the money back in his pocket. He felt deeply moved by Zhou Chen's actions, knowing that Zhou Chen trusted him and that's why he did this. He vowed in his heart that he would never betray Zhou Chen's trust.
"By the way, Brother Chen, the guy who sold stinky tofu yesterday didn't come."
Remembering Zhou Ling, whom Zhou Chen had mentioned, Li Kaile quickly brought up the fact that she hadn't seen Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling didn't go to set up a stall?
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, but he was too lazy to think about why Zhou Ling hadn't set up her stall. "We didn't run into her yesterday, but we might today. If you do see her, what should you do? You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Li Kaile nodded and said, "Brother Chen, you told me to ignore her, and I definitely won't give her a second thought. I won't explain anything to her about the stinky tofu. If she dares to cause me trouble, I'll call the police."
Zhou Chen nodded.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Chen put down his schoolbag and went to the playground to meet up with his classmates from the school team.
Little did they know that the scene of Li Kaile taking out money to give him had just been witnessed by several classmates.
Several classmates unanimously believed that Li Kaile was paying protection money.
Zhou Chen was unaware that, in the eyes of several classmates, he had become the school bully.
Throughout the morning, Zhou Chen felt that his classmates were looking at him strangely, and some girls were even afraid of him.
This left him completely bewildered and baffled.
After the fourth period, Zhou Chen declined to go to the cafeteria with Li Kaile and decided to go to the construction site cafeteria instead.
His time is occupied by training both day and night, with only his lunch break being relatively free.
I had just arrived at the construction site, and before I even got into the canteen,
Zhou Chen ran into his master, Xu Laoqi. Upon seeing him, Xu Laoqi quickly pulled him aside and asked with a serious expression, "Disciple, do you know how to trade stocks?"
Stock trading?
Zhou Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Laoqi looked regretful and sighed, "If only you knew how to trade stocks. Mr. Sun is hesitating about which stock to choose. If you knew how to trade stocks, you could give Mr. Sun some advice."
Is Sun Liancheng going to enter the stock market?
Zhou Chen's expression flashed; making money from stocks was indeed very fast.
If you're lucky, you can become rich overnight.
Wait a minute...
suddenly,
Zhou Chen recalled some of the stories he had heard about Sun Liancheng in his previous life, including the one about Sun Liancheng almost losing everything due to stock speculation.
It seems they've even sold their house in the city.
Although he didn't know how to trade stocks, he knew which stock Sun Liancheng had chosen.
"Master, is General Manager Sun in his office?"
Judging from Master Xu Laoqi's tone, Sun Liancheng hadn't decided which stock to buy yet. It wasn't too late, and he could help Sun Liancheng avoid repeating the same mistake.
"Yes, I'm here."
"Master, I'm going to see General Manager Sun."
Without time to explain further, Zhou Chen waved his hand and headed straight for Sun Liancheng's office without looking back.
Xu Laoqi looked on in astonishment, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "This brat definitely knows something, but I don't know if he can help President Sun."
Inside the office,
Sun Liancheng stared at Zhou Chen with a suspicious look.
He admitted that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary high school students. He even admired Zhou Chen and had high hopes for him. However, Zhou Chen took the initiative to come and suggest which stock to choose, which was a suggestion that he really couldn't believe.
According to his investigation, Zhou Chen had absolutely nothing to do with stocks.

Thank you to the brother who sent this gift out of love!
