The relentless, late-night studying during the final year of high school puts many students under immense pressure.
The college entrance examination is over.
Like a taut violin string that suddenly snapped, many students freely did things they had never had the chance to do before.
You can legitimately chat online and play games.
You can stay up late watching TV, without having to go to bed at a specific time.
You can go shopping and play until seven or eight o'clock before going home.
You can have meals and play with your close classmates and friends.
You can confess your feelings to the boy or girl you like and start a relationship.
Li Kaile had approached Zhou Chen more than once, asking her to go out and have fun together. Zhou Chen never refused, because, as Wu Yingjie said, young people should act like young people, not be lifeless or too mature.
He used to live with the mindset of his previous life, which lasted for decades, and this made him seem distant to people. As a result, some of his peers treated him like an elder.
Li Kaile had talked about this before, but this guy had a soft spot for him and didn't see it as a problem. He was even envious and wanted to be like him.
But Zhou Chen knew that this mindset was wrong. In business, he could be as mature as an old dog and meticulous in every aspect, but when interacting with peers and with Sun Wanying, he should abandon his mature mindset and approach things with the mindset of a young person.
Therefore,
Zhou Chen has been gradually changing, living with the mindset of someone her own age and enjoying the present moment.
He'll try out the things that young people like to do.
He pays attention to some 'fashionable' elements, even though they don't count as fashionable in his mind, so that he has more topics to talk about with his peers.
Like the most popular celebrities, the most famous movies and TV shows, songs, anime, and so on.
Because he has memories of his previous life, when he talks about these topics, he stands out even more in the crowd, attracting admiring glances.
That's right,
After running into several female classmates at an internet cafe with Li Kaile, he gave an in-depth analysis of the romantic idol dramas they liked to watch. He explained the seemingly romantic plots in detail, leaving the female classmates dumbfounded. They realized for the first time that the cliché plot of "domineering CEO falls in love with me" was specially designed to please women, and that there are no poor people in TV dramas, no matter what the female lead is like, there is always a second male lead who is willing to do anything for her.
The female students wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that it was surprisingly consistent with what Zhou Chen said, which completely shattered their understanding of idol dramas. For a moment, they admired Zhou Chen, this top student, even more.
"Brother Chen, do you also like watching idol dramas?"
As Li Kaile emerged from the internet cafe, his eyes gleamed as if he had discovered a treasure, staring intently at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen shook his head.
"Brother Chen, how can you be so right? After hearing what you said today, I felt that this stuff was just fooling idiots, especially some of the plots, which made me angry. After you explained it to me, I understand now. It was all done intentionally by the TV drama editors."
Li Kaile remarked with emotion.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's all just a routine."
"If I were an editor, I would write a story where a female CEO falls in love with me, and the second, third, and all the way up to the eighteenth female lead all like me and pursue me madly. Even if I'm fickle, they'll never abandon me. What do you think, Brother Chen?"
Li Kaile said somewhat shamelessly.
Zhou Chen glanced at it: "It's the ultimate fantasy of a typical otaku. I don't doubt that some people like it, especially otaku, but girls will most likely collectively condemn you and curse you until you become withdrawn."
Is it that serious?
Li Kaile was slightly taken aback, but had no doubt about Zhou Chen's judgment. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Then forget it. I'd rather not be an editor. I'll just do business with you, Brother Chen. Editing isn't for me."
Zhou Chen and Li Kaile walked in front, while Tang Wu followed behind like a shadow, acting as an invisible bodyguard.
Inside the office,
After reviewing some of yesterday's bills, Liu Lei casually opened the stock market page.
When you find the stock chart for "Zhongfeng Petrochemical",
She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things, but when she looked again, she was stunned.
I'm not seeing things.
Zhongfeng Petrochemical's stock price rose, and by a significant margin, far exceeding the price at which she bought it.
This surprising discovery made her excited and she immediately stood up.
Liu Lei immediately shared the good news in the group chat.
"Brother Chen, the stock went up. Sister Liu Lei said that Zhongfeng Petrochemical's stock surged and hit the daily limit again."
After seeing the message in the group, Li Kaile immediately reported it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen simply said "Oh." He wasn't surprised at all. After several days of ups and downs, the sudden surge now meant that the news had already been leaked, causing many people to follow suit.
That is indeed the case.
The news that Zhongfeng Petrochemical had purchased a small island and discovered oil and natural gas reserves was widely reported by the media. Only then did investors realize that Zhongfeng Petrochemical's stock price was about to rise, and they rushed to buy it immediately, hoping to get in early and that the stock price would definitely rise even higher in the future.
"Damn it, if I had known that Zhongfeng Petrochemical would rise so sharply, I wouldn't have sold it a couple of days ago. It's all that son of a bitch's fault for talking nonsense about Zhongfeng Petrochemical being on the verge of bankruptcy. Otherwise, I could have made at least 50,000 yuan."
"I'm in the same boat as the person upstairs. I bought it because of the trend, but unfortunately I couldn't hold on. If I had just held on for two more days, I could have made a fortune."
"Who would have thought that Zhongfeng Petrochemical would be so lucky? They could just buy a small island and find oil and natural gas."
"Does anyone remember when Zhongfeng Petrochemical's stock suddenly rose by one yuan? People entered the market then. I feel that some people already knew about this news."
"Is it possible to find the person who first bought Zhongfeng Petrochemical products?"
"No need to check anymore. Mr. Zhou was the first to buy in large quantities. I followed Mr. Zhou and bought 100,000 yuan worth of Zhongfeng Petrochemical. Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it and missed out on more than 100,000 yuan. I regret it so much now. Mr. Zhou is awesome. I will never dare to question Mr. Zhou's judgment again."
"What? Mr. Zhou? Is he the big retail investor who previously held Tencent stock?"
Upon hearing that it was "Mr. Zhou" who took the lead in buying a large amount of Zhongfeng Petrochemical stock, the news spread like wildfire in stock forums, discussion boards, and various stock trading groups.
Zhou Chen was unaware that he had become a topic of conversation in these stock market forums.
Because he is currently watching his small group of penguins.
"I know the truth behind the surge in Zhongfeng Petrochemical's stock price: oil was discovered on the islands they bought."
"It is said that the reserves are not small. For Zhongfeng Petrochemical, which is already in the oil business, this is like a huge pie falling from the sky. With the oil reserves on this small island, it is enough for Zhongfeng Petrochemical to become a major oil company in China."
"I suspect that Brother Chen already knew about this news, so he called on all of us to make money together."
As soon as Li Kaile said this, the group chat fell silent.
Because others only realized the problem at that time.
