At the dining table in Villa No. 1, my phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Yuan glanced at the screen, which displayed the name Wei Minghao.
"Hello?"
When Lin Yuan answered the phone to his old classmate whom he hadn't seen in a long time, his tone was somewhat casual.
"Lin Yuan, don't take what those people in the group say too seriously. We're still good classmates."
Wei Minghao's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and the peacemaker, caught in a bind, was full of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.
At this moment, he was filled with doubts and was somewhat at a loss for words.
He picked up his phone and opened the class group chat.
The group chat was buzzing with activity, message notifications were ringing out, and messages were flooding in like a tidal wave.
He glanced around and was immediately stunned—several people were cursing him and Wei Minghao.
The insults were very harsh, filled with words like "idiot" and "pretentious jerk."
His face, which had been shiny from eating fried dough sticks, instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed a coldness.
These guys are just bored and have nothing better to do!
Wei Minghao treats these people as classmates, but does Li Changlong treat you as classmates?
They don't appreciate kindness; they bite the hand that feeds them!
"Master, what's wrong? Did you bite your tongue?"
Xia Qingxue's voice came through.
"fine!"
Looking at the worried housekeeper, Lin Yuan shook his head.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then replied in the group: "Have you guys finished cursing? Wei Minghao is my friend. If you think he's stupid, then I'm the leader of all the stupid people!"
The moment the message was sent, the group chat exploded.
"Oh, so Young Master Lin is jumping out to play the hero now? Who do you think you are?"
Class monitor Li Changlong was the first to jump out, his tone full of sarcasm: "Lin Yuan, stop pretending to be a big shot here! If you're really so capable, why don't you go buy stocks and make money instead of arguing with a bunch of classmates here?"
This Li Changlong is truly an arrogant and ignorant fool!
Just as he was about to retort, Li Changlong sent another message.
"Lin Yuan, I doubt you even have a million. What are you pretending to know? Who would believe you?"
Lin Yuan's face instantly turned ashen, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
He slammed his hand on the table, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter, causing the food to shake violently.
Li Changlong, you're courting death!
"It's okay! I'll take care of it."
Xia Qingxue hurriedly started packing.
At this point, a few troublemakers remained unconvinced and secretly added Lin Yuan's friends to prepare for further provocation.
Lin Yuan took another deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Then, he replied in the group: "Li Changlong, you said I don't have a million? Okay, then let's hedge!"
The group chat fell silent instantly; everyone was stunned by Lin Yuan's words.
Li Changlong was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and sneered, "Haha! You know about hedging? Lin Yuan, are you out of your mind? One million is no small sum!"
"Whether I'm crazy or not, you'll find out if you try!"
In Xia Qingxue's memory, Lin Yuan had never shown such an expression before.
He let out a cold laugh, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
“Let’s buy the Kanghui Medical Technology stock you recommended. I’ll buy 1 million shares, and then you can resell it. Anyway, you’re bullish! This operation will only make you more money.”
Li Changlong was stunned; he hadn't expected such a good thing to happen.
Even more unexpectedly, Lin Yuan, who was practically invisible in the class group, actually had a million.
He hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained his confidence.
"Okay, then I'll play with you!"
Without saying a word, Lin Yuan picked up his phone, skillfully opened the stock trading software, entered his account and password, and then quickly started operating.
His fingers flew across the screen.
A short while later, he bought the stocks and then sent a screenshot to the group.
"Li Changlong, look, I've already bought it for a million. If you don't dare, you're a coward! A little dog, despicable!"
Lin Yuan provocatively said in the group chat.
Li Changlong's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth, quickly bought the stocks, and then sent the screenshot to the group.
"Lin Yuan, don't be so smug! We'll see about that!"
The group chat exploded instantly, everyone was shocked by this sudden counterattack.
Some were amazed, some mocked, and some gloated.
Li Changlong's finger slid lightly across the screen, and messages came into view, all of them encouraging him and mocking Lin Yuan.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes; he could already picture Lin Yuan's defeat.
"Lin Yuan, you'd better take it easy."
Finally, he sent a message in the group, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Don't let your account get wiped out; you won't even have time to cry then. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
The group chat instantly became lively again, with some people joining in the commotion and others echoing Li Changlong's words, as if Lin Yuan was already doomed to lose.
Looking at these comments, Li Changlong felt increasingly smug. He even started fantasizing about making a fortune with the 1 million yuan and then showing off in front of his classmates.
However, Lin Yuan appeared remarkably calm.
He sat on the sofa with his arms crossed.
One million was nothing to him, but Li Changlong mortgaged his property certificate and took out a loan for it.
This disparity predetermined the outcome from the very beginning.
On Lin Yuan's phone screen, Li Changlong's messages were still flashing, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.
Li Changlong, just you wait!
