On the first day of the bet between Zhou Chen and Li Xiaolong, the foreign stocks they chose did not fluctuate much, with almost no increase or decrease.
The change occurred the following evening.
"The stocks chosen by the young master of the Li family have gone up!"
"Zhou the stock market guru's stocks are still stagnant. Could it be that this time, Zhou the stock market guru is really going to suffer his first Waterloo and his reputation as a stock market guru will be shattered?"
"Even stock market gurus can't adapt to new environments. It seems I lost my bet. I hope that by selling everything now and buying less like the Li family, I can make back my losses."
"I firmly believe that Zhou, the stock market guru, will win the bet, so I will not sell my shares."
Two voices have emerged online again, but unlike before, this time there are more voices pessimistic about Zhou Chen, because the stocks Zhou Chen selected did not perform as well as the stocks Li Xiaolong selected.
Wang Rui, Xu Dalong, and others all saw the online discussions, but none of them mentioned it to Zhou Chen or asked about it. They continued doing their own things and were not affected by the incident.
On the third day of the economic forum,
Zhou Chen did not attend.
This matter was exposed by some forum participants, and coupled with the impressive rise in the stock price of Li Xiaolong's bet, some people began to make sarcastic remarks online.
For example, Zhou Chen was too ashamed to show up because she was afraid of losing face.
For example, Zhou Chen knew he was about to lose to Li Xiaolong and couldn't face it.
Even more outrageous rumors circulated that Zhou Chen was crying in some secluded corner, praying to heaven, and so on.
Zhou Chen himself remained unmoved by these comments, simply laughing them off.
On the contrary, Wang Rui and others were all very angry and turned into keyboard warriors, arguing with people online.
Unfortunately, there were too many people mocking them, so their firepower was somewhat insufficient.
"Where did all these people come from?"
"When Brother Chen was dominating the stock market before, everyone called him the 'Stock God Zhou.' Now, the stocks he chooses just haven't gone up, and everyone's coming to mock him. Are they crazy?"
"Few people will offer help when someone is in need, but the vast majority will push someone down when they're down. That's human nature, the ugly side of the human heart."
Wang Rui was indignant, Zhang Hao looked sentimental, and Li Wei remained silent.
Seeing his three roommates troubled by the voices online, Zhou Chen smiled and comforted them, telling them not to pay attention and to let these people say whatever they wanted. He added that the harsher some people say now, the harder they will be proven wrong in the end.
Upon hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances and realized that it made sense.
This is just the beginning of the betting process.
It's not the last moment yet, so it's not a loss. What if the stocks Zhou Chen chose later catch up quickly and overtake us with unstoppable momentum?
At that time, all of these people had to shut up.
With Zhou Chen's reassurance, the three stopped paying attention to public opinion.
Zhou Chen's silence has undoubtedly fueled the pessimistic voices.
At this moment,
The happiest people were Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun.
Previously, when they said bad things about Zhou Chen online, they would immediately be attacked by some netizens. But now, Zhou Chen's betting stocks are not moving at all, like a tortoise, which gives them a good excuse. In addition, some people believe in Zhou Chen, but see those who buy with Li Xiaolong making money, which makes them dissatisfied with Zhou Chen and they no longer support him.
Public opinion began to shift significantly in favor of Li Xiaolong.
“Zhou Chen, the stock you’re bullish on is like a turtle, hiding in its shell. Just like you, you’re afraid to speak out or attend economic forums. You and your stock are both turtles.”
Zhou Ling was overjoyed, feeling completely refreshed. As long as things continued as they were, Zhou Chen was certain to lose the bet, and he would have to give half of the business shares to Li Xiaolong.
She will then volunteer to represent Li Xiaolong and take over Zhou Chen's shares, interfering in Zhou Chen's business and making him feel terrible.
Zhou Ling was already eagerly anticipating the arrival of this day.
After repeated failed attempts at retaliation, the dawn of victory is finally in sight. How could this not fill one with excitement and exhilaration?
Zhao Kun also smiled. He and Zhou Chen were not exactly blood enemies, but they were not far apart. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, he wouldn't have suffered those treatments in prison and undergone that psychological change. It was all Zhou Chen's fault that he had become neither male nor female. He was determined to make Zhou Chen pay the price. Fortunately, hope was just around the corner.
Thinking about my own problems,
Zhao Kun's eyes suddenly became somewhat guilty, because he didn't want Zhou Ling to discover his secret. If Zhou Ling found out, he would be finished and would lose all his dignity as a man.
Zhao Kun hesitated, wondering whether he should move his secret cabin from the neighboring community to a place further away. He always felt that there would be problems if it were so close to home.
Let's wait a little longer.
Once Zhou Chen suffers a crushing defeat this time, he will then look for suitable housing.
There's no need to rush. He can just be patient these days and not give Zhou Ling a chance to find out.
The only remaining possibility was his parents' side, and he was certain they would never reveal a single word to Zhou Ling.
That evening,
The stocks chosen by Li Xiaolong experienced another surge.
The stocks Zhou Chen chose started to fall, and not just any stocks, but stocks that fell even more sharply than those Li Xiaolong's stocks had risen.
This comparison has completely jeopardized Zhou Chen's reputation as a stock market guru.
Those who had previously firmly believed in Zhou Chen began to waver.
Some people immediately liquidated their positions and switched to the stocks that Li Xiaolong had bet on.
"Although I want to firmly support Zhou the stock guru, my wallet won't allow it, and I don't want to lose everything."
"I regret it. If I had known that Zhou the stock market guru would fail, I should have followed Young Master Li's lead and bought stocks."
"I was confused too. I hope it's not too late to mend things after the fact."
On the fourth day of the economic forum,
Hao Ying told Zhou Na about what she had heard online.
Zhou Na had been paying close attention to these comments. Seeing that the stocks Zhou Chen had chosen were falling instead of rising, she couldn't help but think that Zhou Chen might really lose this time.
"Zhou Na, do you think the foreign shares he chose can surpass those of the Li family's young master?"
Hao Ying asked.
Zhou Na shook her head. "Unless a miracle happens, it will be very difficult, but there aren't that many miracles in this world."
Hao Ying nodded: "That's what I think too. If he can win all these bets under these circumstances, then he'll truly be a stock market genius."
Zhou Na did not respond.
Because she was thinking about the impact of Li Xiaolong winning the bet against Zhou Chen. It wasn't just Zhou Chen who would suffer losses; she would also be indirectly harmed, and Zhou Haide would probably pay more attention to Li Xiaolong.
Is there any benefit she can get from being her daughter?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pray for Zhou Chen to win, so that she could maximize her benefits.
"But can you still create miracles?"
Zhou Na sighed softly, feeling that even though Zhou Chen often created miracles, this time, he was probably powerless to turn the tide.
