Chapter 36: Don’t Try to Target Qing

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

Excited at the possibility of earning more, Fu Qing impulsively invested all of her money and profits along with a portion of her savings into the stocks. Then, she took a screenshot of the investment and sent it over to Li Ying.

Once Zhan Cheng and Li Ying saw the screenshot Fu Qing sent, they smiled smugly to themselves.

This stock was infamously known as a “Demon Stock.” The price had been rising exponentially in the past few years, but losses were infinite when it fell. Because of this stock, many people had gone bankrupt.

When Zhan Cheng introduced this stock to Fu Qing, he tempted her with the fact that it had risen dozen of times.

However, he knew that the company behind this stock, Empire Construction Group, was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Once the price fell, it could never rise back.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Cheng suddenly saw an alarming piece of news in the newspaper the next day.

The famous Empire Construction Company had been bought by a multinational Fortune 500 company.

This sudden news caused the company’s stock to immediately soar. Many rushed to buy the stock, causing the stock price to rise higher and higher.

The stock had been rising for three days in a row, and it didn’t seem like it was going to slow down anytime soon. It was hard to get one stock.

It just so happened that Fu Qing had bought this stock.

With this rise, her 100,000 capital increased tenfold, becoming one million.

Meanwhile, Fu Qing had been playing with Little Treasure at home. She had been too preoccupied to even think about the stock. Today, she suddenly remembered about it and opened the application on her phone. Her eyes immediately widened in shock at the price displayed.

“Wait— I made a big profit?”

“But I only invested 100,000 yuan. How did it suddenly become 1 million yuan?”

Trembling with shock, she decided to sell all of her stocks at once. With the profit, she impulsively bought various delicious food and toys for her beloved Little Treasure.

After Zhan Qi returned home that night, Fu Qing couldn’t wait to share this news with him.

“Qi, I plan to treat Li Ying and Zhan Cheng to a big meal tomorrow afternoon. It’s the least I can do since they taught me to trade stocks. What do you think?”

Zhan Qi looked at the fund balance on Fu Qing’s phone and then at her elated face. He lovingly rubbed her hair that was all over the place. “Up to you.”

However, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Because he found Zhan Cheng suspicious, Zhan Qi had asked his subordinates to research the stocks Fu Qing bought. Only then did he find out that the stocks that Zhan Cheng recommended were all high-risk stocks.

Although Fu Qing had profited because of luck this time, Zhan Cheng’s intentions were definitely sinister.

Since Fu Qing wanted to invite them over, he couldn’t take the opportunity to beat them up. He didn’t want them to target Fu Qing instead.

Meanwhile, Li Ying and Zhan Cheng were so frustrated that they couldn’t even eat.

“Didn’t you say that all her stocks are bad? You said mine was good and would go up. Now that her stocks have gone up tenfold, my stocks have gone down so much. It’s all your fault!”

Zhan Cheng was as unhappy as his wife. However, he tried to suppress his temper and replied perfunctorily.

“It’s only because she was lucky this time. Don’t worry. She’s so stupid that I can make her lose even more than what she earned.” Zhan Cheng insisted. “Anyways, don’t be so impatient. The company you invested in is growing quickly. Wait it out, and the price will surely rise.”

Li Ying turned her head away and said angrily, “I don’t believe you anymore.”

Just then, Li Ying’s phone rang.

She picked it up and answered without even looking at it.

Fu Qing’s voice came from the phone, “Sister-in-law, are you and Zhang Cheng free tomorrow? I’m going to treat you two to a meal as thanks for teaching me how to trade in the stock market.”

Li Ying and Zhan Cheng exchanged a look with cold expressions..
