"What are you so happy about now? Wait until the money is actually in your account before you start celebrating."
"Here, I’m giving you back your phones first!"
"You guys had better keep it low-key."
Luofeng watched as the group cheered like children. Even Chen Dali, who was usually so composed, was excited now.
Lin Xiaoyun was the first to nod. "Alright, Brother Luo Feng, I’ll keep it low-key. I promise not to say a word; I’ll hold it in. The most I’ll do is post on Moments Circle that I’m going to buy a Porsche 911."
Luofeng didn’t hesitate to retort, "Out of everyone here, you made the least. What are you so excited about?"
"Oh my god!"
Luofeng really hit a sore spot, Lin Xiaoyun thought. But still, I made 2 million, right? Why be so greedy?
"It’s just a measly 2 million. Stop showing off and sit down already," Chen Dali chimed in, delivering another blow.
"Chen Dali and I both made 10 million, hahaha!" Li Bo Kai laughed, continuing to tease Lin Xiaoyun.
"I regret it so much! If I’d known, I would’ve mortgaged my family’s car and house, then kowtowed to someone to borrow 20 million to invest."
Chen Dali struck again. "Wake up. That all belongs to your parents. You don’t own a house, let alone a car."
"And you wouldn’t have been able to borrow the money anyway," Li Bo Kai added with a laugh. "Your family was already warned not to lend you anything. I don’t even know who you kowtowed to for the money you borrowed this time."
"I’m gonna puke."
They’ve seen right through me, Lin Xiaoyun thought. This is too much. That 2 million was my absolute limit.
"Right, let me add something," Luofeng began to explain. "Due to exchange rates and the need for some special measures to avoid being tracked, we’ll intentionally take a hit of 1% to 2.5% on the profits. We’ll know the exact figures after everything is processed."
No one had any objections.
Chen Dali asked, "Should we give out bonuses at the investment company?"
"You don’t need to worry about bonuses," Luofeng clarified. "This was based on insider information; they were just executing the trades. Our company has clear policies for rewards."
「About half an hour later」
Luofeng clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention. "Alright, the final loss was 2.25%, so we each made a 106% profit! The funds will arrive tomorrow."
"WOO HOO!"
"Awesome!"
"Nice!"
"Brother Luo Feng, you’re incredible!"
"I’ll arrange Mr. Thirteen!"
"I’ll arrange the Art Institute Bar Series!"
"I’ll arrange..." Lin Xiaoyun hadn’t finished speaking when Luofeng cut him off. "What are you going to arrange? You’re the poorest one here. Do we need you to arrange anything?"
The other two had each made over 10 million. He had only made 2 million.
And what about me? Luofeng thought. I put in 40 million... so that’s a profit of 42.4 million? Amazing!
Although the funds hadn’t arrived yet, everyone had seen the withdrawal screenshot. Generally, a large company wouldn’t withhold such a relatively small sum. Would they really risk their reputation over this amount? they thought. The funds were practically guaranteed to arrive the next day.
"Hahaha, luckily, when I borrowed money, I made sure all the interest terms were clear. It’s strictly business, no personal feelings involved," Li Bo Kai chuckled.
"Luofeng, why aren’t you answering me? What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’ve gone off to some wild celebration already?" Bai Ningbing had also sent a flurry of messages, each one practically vibrating with excitement.
Luofeng finally found a moment to reply: "Nah, nothing like that. Just heading to one of those Art Institute Bar Series places... you know the type."
When Bai Ningbing didn’t reply immediately, Luofeng quickly added a reassurance, "Don’t worry. You know what kind of person I am. I wouldn’t go looking for trouble."
Then Luofeng asked, "So, are you happy? You made 150,000."
"Of course I’m happy! I’m over the moon!" Bai Ningbing replied. "When I get back, I’ll treat you to dinner—the most expensive Japanese cuisine, my treat!"
"Nice try, but I’ll be the one treating you," Luofeng laughed. "How much did you even make? Getting a little carried away, are we?"
But with that, Luofeng had fulfilled Bai Ningbing’s first desire: to make a profit of over one hundred percent, just as he had promised. And now, it had truly happened. How could that not satisfy her primary wish?
[System Notification: Ding! You have satisfied Bai Ningbing’s first desire, acquiring five Attribute Points!]
[System Notification: Ding! You have obtained an American stock three-day trend prop card!]
Damn it! More rewards? Luofeng thought. Not only are there more, but there could be even *more* more! This kind of Prop Card just earned me over forty million. If I can use it again in the future, especially when my capital is even larger, the profits would be astronomical!
"Ningbing, it’s almost six o’clock. You should go to sleep now. Be good," Luofeng urged gently.
"Okay, okay," Bai Ningbing replied, then said goodnight.
But Luofeng knew that the little money-lover probably wouldn’t be able to sleep.
As for me? Luofeng thought. I can definitely sleep. The most exciting moments in this life were my rebirth and acquiring the System. Could anything else really be *that* thrilling anymore?
