The last batch of subscription certificates were sent out. After coming out of Chen's house, Xu Mengyao repeatedly looked at the number on the passbook in her hand and smiled like a flower. She patted Chen Chen's shoulder heavily, her excitement beyond words.
"Aristocratic families are just different. In such a short time, they not only opened an account for me, but also took care of my household registration. Come on, I'll treat you today, let's go to the Peace Hotel and celebrate! Haha, 30.11 million, this is really rich."
Chen Chen looked at the girl jumping forward joyfully like a little bird, and couldn't help but smile as he rubbed the shoulder that she had patted hard. He could feel that she was really happy and her strength was much greater than usual.
The two of them went to the bank and successfully withdrew 10,000 yuan. Then they went to the hotel to pick up Shaozi. They also called the Qi family and told them that they would pick them up later to have dinner together.
From a distance, I saw the three members of the Qi family standing at the entrance of the alley waiting.
"Grandpa and grandma, why are you out so early?"
Grandma Qi was about to say something when Grandpa Qi gently pulled her hand.
"There's nothing to do at home, so we'll go downstairs and wait for you while taking a walk." Grandpa Qi said with a smile.
When they arrived at the Peace Hotel, Grandma Qi refused to go in. She held Xu Mengyao's hand and persuaded her:
"Juanzi, why don't we go somewhere else to eat? People say this place is too expensive and you can only look but not go in."
Xu Mengyao leaned over and whispered in the old woman's ear: "It's okay, Grandma Qi, we've made a lot of money from our subscription certificates! It's inconvenient to talk somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qi followed the others into the hotel. Pushing open the revolving door, she was greeted by a sudden opening. The Baroque palace-style lobby was luxuriously and elegantly decorated, with a crystal dove of peace sculpture in the center that was particularly eye-catching.
Maomao looked up at the high ceiling, while Whistle circled curiously around the dove of peace statue, both with expressions of shock and curiosity on their faces.
The waiter led them into the restaurant. After Xu Mengyao ordered the dishes and the staff left, Grandma Qi said anxiously:
"A bowl of vegetable noodle soup here costs fifty yuan! That's ridiculous! Wenjuan, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Xu Mengyao cleared her throat and said with a smile:
"Grandpa and Grandma, our subscription certificates were sold for 7,000 yuan each. Your 66 certificates sold for a total of 462,000 yuan!"
"Oh my God! So much money! No wonder those heartless people come to my house every day to make trouble."
As soon as Grandma Qi finished speaking, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She hurriedly picked up the water cup in front of her and took a sip to cover up her gaffe.
"Grandma Qi, what happened?" Xu Mengyao asked immediately.
Grandma Qi put down the cup and sighed.
"Alas, it's those people at work. Ever since the subscription certificates started going up in price after the Chinese New Year, they've been getting jealous, saying your grandfather stole their chance to make a fortune. They keep coming to our house and making a scene, insisting we return the subscription certificates."
Grandpa Qi coughed and continued, "It's nothing. They just liked to follow us at first, wanting to see if we had any subscription certificates to sell. After following us for a while, they realized that your grandmother and I didn't do anything other than live our normal lives, so they stopped."
"Why are you being quiet? It's because they can't find any evidence, but they are still mocking us!" Grandma Qi was indignant.
"We bought it because they protested and refused to buy it. And our leader, at first, pretended to speak up for us, but later he told us in private not to forget him when we became rich. Really..."
"Okay, okay, why are you saying this?" Grandpa Qi interrupted Grandma Qi and looked at Xu Mengyao. "Wenjuan, you bought these subscription certificates in the first place. The profits are yours. We can't take them."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. I didn't expect that you would be implicated." Xu Mengyao's voice was filled with apology.
Grandpa Qi patted the back of her hand lovingly. "Silly child, it's none of your business. It's those people's own bad intentions. When we bought the warrants, we let them pick them first. You bought the ones they didn't want. Now you're jealous of the money you've made. If you lose everything, they'll just laugh at you behind your back."
Although she received comfort from Grandpa Qi, Xu Mengyao still felt guilty. After all, it was her own affairs that affected their daily life and relationships with colleagues.
So she suggested, "No matter what, it's all because of me. The stock market is making so much money now, and they're only going to feel worse and worse. I'm worried that someone with bad intentions might have bad intentions towards Maomao. I was originally planning to have Grandma Qi go with me to the bank to withdraw money tomorrow, but now it seems unsafe for you to carry so much money. How about this? I'll use the money to buy you a bigger house as soon as possible and move out. That would be the best thing for you."
Grandpa Qi wanted to refuse, but Shaozi and Chen Chen began to persuade him. Chen Chen even offered to help him find a house.
Xu Mengyao continued, "Don't refuse anymore. Just think of it as exchanging it with me for the big yard in Huanshi."
In the end, after everyone's persuasion, the two old people finally agreed to Xu Mengyao's proposal.
In the following three days, the stock price soared by 570%. Among the only 15 stocks, investors could pick any one of them with their eyes closed and the price would double or even multiply several times. Among them, five new stocks soared by 25 to 30 times.
In just three days, the Shanghai Composite Index reached a peak of 1429 points. On May 25, the stock price of Yuyuan Shopping Mall rose to yuan. At that time, the display screens of the Shanghai Stock Exchange could not display the value because the maximum unit of the display screens could only display thousands of digits. At that time, almost everyone made a fortune and everyone was crazy about the stock market. In the blind date market, even the matchmakers said that if they wanted to get married, they should marry stock investors.
On the fourth day, Huang Shao excitedly returned to the hotel to see her, his face full of an uncontrollable smile.
"Wenjuan, we sold everything at 1400 points! They made a killing with your extra capital. We'll be back in a couple of days to help you find a house."
Xu Mengyao was delighted to hear this; she'd soon own a house in the capital! She was also happy for her fourth uncle and the others; they'd just retreated in time. After all, the current system was imperfect, and too many people were exploiting loopholes. If she remembered correctly, the country would vigorously reform it later, and the bull market would turn into a bear market.
Meanwhile, the Chen family also had a surprise for Xu Mengyao. Ten days later, Chen Chen arrived at her room with a thick stack of property certificates.
"These are the property certificates for some garden houses and two residential buildings on the inner river. I can take you to see them tomorrow. These are some warehouses and several pieces of land in Pudong. There is no need to see them for the time being. Just keep the property certificates." Chen Chen introduced each asset to her one by one.
