章 117: Chapter 117: Making Money Feels Like Picking It Up Off the Ground
Xu Jiaqi was a bit anxious. She understood the intent behind Chen Wei asking her to send the photos and video, but since this was her first time doing something like this, she naturally felt nervous. However, the situation was beyond her control now, so she tried not to think about it too much.
Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was contemplating how to share this good news with the others. Thinking about the 80,000 yuan he had just made, Zhou Yi was ecstatic. Today's trading felt like picking money up off the ground.
Taking advantage of a break, Zhou Yi shared the good news with Lv Tinghai, Yu Jia, and the others.
The possibility wasn't out of the question; in fact, it was quite high! Xu Jiaqi reporting to Luo Chen would surely earn her some of his trust. If Xu Jiaqi were to replace Xu Lin as the risk controller of Team Three, it would be like a gift delivered straight to them.
"That would be Luo Chen walking right into our trap!" Zhou Yi chuckled sinisterly.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's see how things unfold," Chen Wei advised.
Zhou Yi, eager and excited, immediately began discussing plans with Xu Jiaqi.
It was already past 2 PM, and Chen Wei's skills had leveled up again. At level five, he now had a two-minute rollback time. However, having already used it twice today, he decided to save his last opportunity for a crucial moment. So, he shut down his computer and took a taxi home to sleep.
After sleeping until noon, he got up, had lunch, and checked in with Lian Yingying, who informed him that the company's registration process was going smoothly. They chatted for a bit before Chen Wei started his trading day at 1 PM.
Initially, Chen Wei observed the stock index, which showed a weak opening and a downward trend. Seizing the opportunity, he shorted twenty contracts and made 120,000 yuan. With the stock index stabilizing, Chen Wei turned his attention to copper trading.
The copper market was steady, with a narrow range of twenty points up and down throughout the afternoon. Chen Wei traded actively, making around 200,000 yuan by the end of the day. In total, he earned 320,000 yuan today.
In the evening, Chen Wei went to the office and learned from Zhou Yi that everything was normal on the risk control side, with Xu Lin still working as usual. Chen Wei wasn't in a hurry. Even if Luo Chen wanted to fire Xu Lin, it wouldn't happen overnight. Such decisions ultimately needed Wang Wentao's approval.
Chen Wei was curious how Wang Wentao would react if he found out about Luo Chen wanting to fire Xu Lin. He probably wouldn't oppose it, right? If Chen Wei were Wang Wentao, he'd take Xu Lin under his wing, leveraging her resentment towards Luo Chen as a natural ally. Moreover, Xu Lin had some connections within the risk control team, which could provide valuable information for Wang Wentao.
Of course, these were just Chen Wei's speculations. What Wang Wentao would actually do was beyond Chen Wei's guess. Wang Wentao was much more cunning and deep-minded than Luo Chen. If not for Luo Chen being backed by Chu Zhaoyun, Wang Wentao wouldn't even need ten Luo Chens to play with.
That night, Xu Lin behaved, not attempting to gather information from Wang Fang. It seemed Luo Chen no longer trusted her. Chen Wei felt at ease and traded for the rest of the night, earning another 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
The next few days were uneventful. Chen Wei encountered Luo Chen at the company once, who smiled and nodded at him, which Chen Wei found disdainful.
"Stop pretending to be all composed!" Chen Wei thought. "If you were really composed, you wouldn't have been so desperate to mess with me on Monday! You fell into your own trap and now you're acting like nothing happened."
To Chen Wei, Luo Chen seemed like a child trying to appear mature by wearing adult clothes. Chen Wei ignored him completely.
On Friday, around noon, Lian Yingying arrived with a young woman named Wang Xinyi, who was handling the company's registration paperwork.
"Tomorrow, I could come over and sign everything together. There's no need for you to make a special trip today. We're not in a rush," Chen Wei said with a smile while signing the documents.
"Time is money, haven't you heard? Sign everything now so Xiao Wang can finish all the paperwork this afternoon, and we'll be done with it. Why drag it out until next week?" Lian Yingying replied as she wandered around Chen Wei's small apartment.
Chen Wei smiled and said nothing more. After signing the documents, Wang Xinyi left in a hurry, while Lian Yingying stayed behind.
"You keep your place pretty tidy. I thought a single guy's apartment would be a mess," Lian Yingying teased.
"I don't have many belongings. How messy could it get?" Chen Wei laughed.
Chen Wei was quite meticulous about his living space, cleaning it once a week. Since he didn't have many things, the apartment looked neat and clean.
"This place is nice, but it's too far from work. Do you have a driver's license?" Lian Yingying asked.
"Not yet. I'll sign up for lessons when I have some free time," Chen Wei replied.
"Without a car, it will be very inconvenient," Lian Yingying frowned.
"I'll rent a place in the east side of the city, or maybe even buy a place there next month," Chen Wei said.
This month, he had already earned over two million dollars, and with one week left, he might even surpass three million. His commission was 80% this month, so next month he would have over ten million yuan in income! Combined with his current 3 million, he'd have around 20 million.
After paying the two million yuan security deposit and investing another five million, he'd still have over ten million left—plenty to buy a house in the east side.
However, Chen Wei wasn't in a hurry to buy a house in the east side. He wanted to first buy a place in Shuiqing Muhua and then invest the rest in his company to hire more traders for futures trading. Buying a house could wait.
Lian Yishan probably wouldn't rush him into buying a villa either…
"I remember my dad has two vacant villas…" Lian Yingying mused.
Chen Wei quickly interrupted, "No, no, no. I'll rent a place. I wouldn't dare live in your dad's villa!"
"Why not?" Lian Yingying asked.
"Think about it. I've already 'taken' his daughter, and now I'm supposed to take his house too? That wouldn't end well," Chen Wei said with a peculiar expression.
He wasn't kidding. Even with things as they were, Lian Yishan was ready to break his legs. Moving into his villa would be pushing it too far.
Lian Yingying blushed, gave Chen Wei a playful glare, and said shyly, "You're so annoying!"
But she didn't insist any further.
At noon, they ordered takeout and had a meal together. After eating, Chen Wei got back to trading while Lian Yingying watched curiously from the side.
Watching Chen Wei make thousands of yuan in seconds, Lian Yingying was stunned. It really was like picking money up off the ground…
