"It's me."
Hearing Pei Wenping's voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Yi woke up immediately, and her tone was full of concern and nervousness: "Wenping? What happened?"
Since the divorce, Pei Wenping has called him no more than once with one hand, let alone calling him in the middle of the night.
It couldn't be that she wanted to chat with him because she couldn't sleep. He hoped that was the case.
Pei Wenping didn't want to call her ex-husband in the middle of the night, but she was straightforward and couldn't keep things to herself. If she didn't make the call, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.
“Have you been investing in stocks recently?”
Calling in the middle of the night just to ask this? Chen Yi was a little confused, but he responded quickly, "Yes, I'm here, what's the matter?"
“Stop speculating in stocks!”
Chen Yi was stunned for two seconds after hearing these nonsense words, and then he said, "You have to give me a reason, right? What happened?"
Pei Wenping told the story of Shen Mingzhu losing more than two million yuan in stock trading.
"...Mingzhu is right. Stock trading is no different from gambling. You can invest a small amount of money for fun, but you absolutely cannot bet your entire fortune, and you certainly cannot borrow money to enter the market."
"If you really want to fire me, just sever your ties with Xiaolu and Xiaochao first. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with them!"
Chen Yi rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Do you have to threaten me with the child?"
"Of course it is necessary. If you owe a lot of debts, wouldn't they have to suffer with you for the rest of their lives? If it weren't for them, I wouldn't bother with you." Pei Wenping snorted coldly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and not fire you."
"If you dare to lie to me, I..."
"I won't lie to you, not now and not in the future."
Pei Wenping was about to say something harsh, but she was stuck when she heard his answer and simply hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Chen Yi smiled helplessly.
After so many years, his temper is still the same as before, but why does he like it so much?
…
The next day, when Shen Mingzhu woke up, she saw a huge face standing in front of her, which startled her so much that she woke up from her sleep.
"What the hell is wrong with you so early in the morning?"
She slapped Pei Yang's face away in annoyance and started cursing.
Pei Yang rarely looked serious. "I know everything. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"
Shen Mingzhu was confused, "What do you know?"
"You're still playing dumb with me!"
Pei Yang held her face in his hands and rubbed it hard, "You have to torture me before you can tell the truth, right?"
Shen Mingzhu pulled his hand, but got angry when she found that she couldn't pull it open.
"Let me go, what have I done to you!?"
Seeing that she was angry, Pei Yang quickly withdrew his hand, but he grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You kept such a big thing from me without telling me, and you are still angry."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "Either you talk nicely or get out!"
"Did you lose money in stock trading?"
Shen Mingzhu was slightly stunned.
Seeing that she remained silent, Pei Yang misunderstood that she was guilty, and comforted her instead: "It's fine if you lose it, it's not like the sky is falling, why do you have to hide it from me."
Shen Mingzhu yawned and sat up from the bed and asked, "Who told you?"
"Chen Yi, call me early in the morning."
By the way, he also mentioned that Pei Wenping had ordered Chen Yi not to trade stocks anymore.
"You said you only allow the officials to set fires, but not the people to light lamps? You don't allow me to trade stocks, but you trade stocks secretly."
Ever since the stock market became hot last year, Pei Yang was eager to enter the market, but Shen Mingzhu refused to agree, so he gave up the idea.
"I didn't trade stocks, and I didn't lose money. I was cheating them."
Upon learning that Shen Mingzhu made up the lie about losing money because she was worried that Pei Wenping and the others would get carried away and blindly follow Shen Hongmei into the stock market and get ripped off, Pei Yang felt relieved and understood something again.
His wife really, really hates stock trading.
In fact, Shen Mingzhu doesn’t hate stock trading, but she knows that the vast majority of stock investors will be the ones to be ripped off.
She thinks she can't beat the capital, so she doesn't get involved.
As for futures trading, it was because the funds were not hers and she could afford to lose.
In fact, she buys less futures now and invests more in industry, gold and real estate.
In short, she won't put all her eggs in one basket.
After finishing the work at hand, Shen Hongmei took her mobile phone, found a deserted place, and called her stockbroker, hoping that he would sell the stocks in her account.
As soon as the call was connected, the agent's excited voice came: "Mrs. Zhao, I have good news for you! Founder's stock price rose by 1% as soon as it opened today, and it is still rising now. It is expected to rise by at least 2% by the closing time."
Shen Hongmei gave up the idea of selling her stocks.
After just one night, the money in her account increased by nearly 20,000. If it was as predicted by her agent, she would be able to earn nearly 40,000 today, which was more than all her income from work in these years combined.
Or you can wait a little longer and sell it when you make $100,000.
…
"Mr. Chen, do you want to reconsider? The stocks of Shenhua and Founder have risen sharply today. Even if you sell them tomorrow, you can still make hundreds of thousands more!"
On the phone, the broker was very puzzled by Chen Yi's behavior of selling stocks.
The stockholders in the securities firm were all scrambling to buy Shenhua and Founder like crazy. The more they bought, the more they would earn, but he just wanted to sell.

You can earn hundreds of thousands more a day.
Chen Yi struggled a little in his heart, but then he remembered that he had promised Pei Wenping last night.
There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, but it was rare for her to worry about him, and he didn't want to disappoint her again.
"Sell it now. Just transfer the money to my account after the transaction."
"All right."
…
Finance Office.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Pei Wenping was checking last week's marketing data. When she heard the phone ring, she picked it up and asked, "Who is this?"
"It's me, Wenping."
Pei Wenping finally paid some attention after hearing Chen Yi's voice, "What's the matter?"
“I have sold all my stocks.”
"oh."
"Do you want to come over and check it out?"
"I'll go the day after tomorrow."
"real?"
Chen Yi was surprised and happy. He said that the inspection was just a joke, but he didn't expect Pei Wenping to really come over.
"When is it the day after tomorrow? Have you bought your plane ticket? How many days do you plan to stay? I can book a hotel for you."
"I bought it. The flight is at 9pm the day after tomorrow. I will be back on Sunday."
"Okay, call me before you get on the plane, and the kids and I will pick you up at the airport."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, he teased Pei Qiuxia in the office: "Tsk tsk, rich people are different. They always take a taxi to Shanghai every weekend."
Pei Wenping rolled her eyes at her and said, "Xiaolu and Xiaochao's birthdays are next week. I'll go over there to celebrate for them during the weekend."
Pei Qiuxia said embarrassedly: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Xiaolu and Xiaochao's birthdays are coming soon."
"Prepare your birthday present early so I can bring it over."
"Oh, why am I so talkative?"
Pei Qiuxia pretended to feel pain and slapped herself on the face, making everyone in the office laugh.
…
Two days later, Friday.
After get off work, Chen Yi drove to the school to pick up the twins and prepared to go to the airport to pick up Pei Wenping.
Halfway through the journey, they came across a flower shop. Chen Yi stopped the car to buy flowers and happened to meet a stockbroker who was also buying flowers for his girlfriend.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, you really lost money! The prices of your two stocks have increased a lot in the past two days. If you listened to me and didn't sell them, you could have made at least thirty more!"
Compared to the stockbroker's sighing and lamenting, Chen Yi, the person involved, was quite calm.
Once upon a time, he was so nervous about the ups and downs of the stock market that he lost his appetite.
It was not until he sold all the stocks he had and looked at the balance in his bank account that was enough to provide his family with food and clothing that he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security and peace.
It was like returning from a dream to real life, with a sense of security and peace of mind. (End of this chapter)
