High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 290 - 159: Seems a Bit Familiar_2

Even for platforms like Taobao, the funds all converge towards the top.

Internet companies must exceed billions in value, or else hardly anyone will take notice.

Liu Zhengxiong said, "President Chen, don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. Also, the one billion I promised earlier will be transferred to your account in a while..."

He's temporarily not planning to play games with Li Yang; he wants to focus on making money first.

If he doesn't make money, his son won't be able to hold his head high in college.

Li Yang, that dog, doesn't even understand the rule of not divulging secrets when cursing!

"With President Liu's assurance, I'm relieved."

"Yes, yes, don't worry."

...

At home, Liu Zhengxiong looked at his stock account. After news broke about stricter regulations on market financing behavior, the brokerage sector collectively plunged, especially Dongcai, where he had heavily invested, dropped nine points directly.

This almost instantly wiped out Liu Zhengxiong's earnings of the past period to zero.

He made twenty points on a hundred bucks, which amounted to a hundred and twenty.

But dropping nine points from a hundred and twenty brings the funds down to a hundred and nine.

It's equivalent to a good market for half a month being smashed back to zero, all efforts in vain.

Currently, he's only earning nine points.

If it drops again tomorrow...

He suddenly started to panic; if he loses this money, even if he bankrupts himself, he won't be able to recover.

Are his pledged shares worth one billion? Yes, but if he can't produce cash, once they enter the auction process, they might not be worth that anymore, possibly only six or seven billion.

On Dongcai's forum, he took a close look; many people were discussing that the bad news had been fully reflected today, and tomorrow would rebound strongly.

Especially since, apart from brokerages, other stocks were still rising robustly today.

Liu Zhengxiong restrained himself, deciding to hold on a little longer!

After calling some acquaintances, he left it alone, feeling that Chen Jie wouldn't encounter major issues.

The next day, he got up very early, anxiously waiting for the market to open.

The moment the market officially opened, his anxious heart finally relaxed.

Dongcai opened three points higher.

Although there wasn't much breakthrough throughout the day, only going up five points at the highest, the trading volume was high, indicating sufficient turnover on the forum, symbolizing that the market hadn't collapsed.

Some people's trading patterns are based on turnover, as turnover represents the fund's acceptance strength at a certain position,

By the close, Dongcai had hardly risen, remaining at the opening position, idling all day.

On that day, he received feedback that Jiangbei had had a face-to-face communication with Capital City and both parties shared a pleasant exchange, implying that things were under control, ensuring Chen Jie would be fine.

Liu Zhengxiong then called Chen Jie to share the situation there.

Chen Jie was overjoyed.

Upon returning, the people arranged by Capital City also arrived simultaneously. When they were about to investigate data, he was still uneasy.

With Liu Zhengxiong's reassurance, having personally seen Jiangbei folks communicating with those from Capital City, although he didn't know what they discussed, would they really disregard each other's face?

That's impossible!

Previously hesitant, now he opened up to Capital City's inspection.

After all, he's got backing!

Once Capital City gathered the data, they instructed Chen Jie not to move around too much these days, as he was under pending trial and must be ready to cooperate with investigations anytime.

Chen Jie eagerly agreed, relieved after they left.

No more issues!

It seems Liu Zhengxiong is indeed a useful connection; on regular days, he couldn't find such ties, and even if he did, they wouldn't help.

The era has changed; sending money is no longer in vogue.

...

On April 20th, Li Yang barely managed to fulfill his live streaming contract; Chen Jie had approached him multiple times to discuss renewal, but he hadn't agreed.

Moreover, today happened to be Friday.

He woke up at 4:30 AM, started a silent live stream, and finished at 6:30 AM, then washed up with his roommates.

During class, the four 'musketeers' of their dormitory consistently occupied the back row ahead of time.

Li Yang held He Lewei's phone, chatting on his behalf.

That Gong Chenlin was truly so damn hard to deal with, playing the archetypal 'green tea', utterly captivating He Lewei.

Li Yang was nearly out of patience by now; if a few more days pass without progress, they might as well see her legs.

After chatting for a while with the other two, He Lewei leaned over and asked, "Yang, when are we going to close the net this time?"

Li Yang glanced at the chat log and said, "Whenever Gong Chenlin comes out to eat, that's when we close the net."

This damn 'green tea', she was clearly flirting with He Lewei, yet now it's like torture to get her to agree to a meal.

He Lewei leaned in to take a look and found the chat log had already gone a bit awry.

Li Yang had begun mentioning meeting other senior students.

"Yang! Holy crap! What did you chat about?"

Li Yang replied, "I spiced things up a bit; if this damn 'green tea' doesn't come out soon, we'll just lay it on the table and stop playing with her. Damn it, I don't even have this much patience for my own girlfriend; if it weren't for you treating us on Saturday, I would have quit already!"

He Lewei hurriedly persuaded, "Yang, calm down; you're our love coach. Without you, how would we survive? Rest assured, I'll make sure tomorrow's lunch gathering is perfectly arranged."

"Only you, Xiaohu, know how to be considerate..."

Li Yang continued chatting with Gong Chenlin.

Meanwhile, in Gong Chenlin's dorm, Song Xiaoli flared up instantly upon seeing Li Yang's provocatively worded messages.
