Chapter 256: Yan Luoxi’s Shock! You Jerk, Don’t Tell Me You Can Predict the Future?

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Yan Luoxi’s Shock! You Jerk, Don’t Tell Me You Can Predict the Future?

The humiliating pose made Yan Luoxi feel utterly mortified.

"Meow~!"

’This jerk.’

’Let me go, now.’

’Or... or else I’ll bite you to death!’

She meowed at Gu Yizhou, full of shame and indignation.

"Alright, alright, stop your meowing!"

Gu Yizhou pressed a finger to her mouth and chuckled. "You don’t have the heart to bite down hard. All you do is try to scare me."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Hmph.’

’As if I don’t have the heart!’

’Jerk.’

’Tonight, after you fall asleep, I’ll bite you to death!’

Yan Luoxi thought indignantly.

After playing with the cat for a little while, Gu Yizhou let her go and prepared to take a shower.

"Okay, Xiaobai, it’s getting late. Daddy’s going to take a shower now, and I’ll play with you again in a bit."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile, stroking her little head.

With that, he got up and went to his room to grab a change of clothes.

"..."

Watching Gu Yizhou’s back, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but pout and wave a tiny paw at him.

’Jerk.’

’Always bullying me.’

’Hmph!’

...

「About 20 minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou came out after his shower. Once he’d dried his hair, he walked over to the sofa and scooped Yan Luoxi up.

"Come on, Xiaobai, let’s go back to the room."

He carried the cat back to the bedroom as he spoke.

"It’s so much warmer in the master bedroom!"

After slipping under the covers, Gu Yizhou said, "Hmm... Xiaobai, let’s not watch a movie tonight. Let’s check out the stock market instead."

Gu Yizhou picked up the tablet from the nightstand and opened the stock market interface.

Looking at the red and green stock interface, Gu Yizhou tapped directly on the stock for "Button Wine Company."

This stock was about to reach the crash time given by the system. Gu Yizhou had already set up a short-selling account and taken his position.

When the market opened tomorrow, it would be time to see if he was right.

When Yan Luoxi saw Gu Yizhou looking at the "Button Wine Company" stock, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

’Button Wine Company?’

’Didn’t this jerk say this stock had no investment value?’

’Why is he still paying attention to it now?’

’Could it be that the stock’s situation has taken a new turn?’

She wondered, confused.

The thought that Gu Yizhou might be lying to her never crossed her mind.

Although the data showed the stock was in an upward trend, Yan Luoxi never doubted Gu Yizhou’s analysis.

After what had happened the last few times, Yan Luoxi had absolute trust in Gu Yizhou when it came to professional analysis.

’Huh?’

’What’s this jerk doing?’

’Short selling?’

When Yan Luoxi noticed the status of Gu Yizhou’s stock account, she froze.

She glanced at Gu Yizhou, then back at the tablet screen.

’Wait a minute.’

’Is this jerk shorting Button Wine Company?’

’Holy crap...’

’He never mentioned this, did he?’

Yan Luoxi was suddenly wide awake and alert.

Seeing the cat in his arms staring at the tablet screen with a curious expression, Gu Yizhou chuckled. "Uh-huh? Xiaobai, you’re interested in this too?"

Of course, he was just joking.

He figured the colorful interface of the stock market was naturally attractive to a cat.

But when she heard this, Yan Luoxi lifted her head and glanced at him.

Her expression seemed to say: ’Yes, I’m very interested. Hurry up and tell me.’

Gu Yizhou froze for a second when he saw her look.

’No way.’

’Is my Xiaobai really becoming sentient?’

Gu Yizhou shook his head. When he looked closely again, he saw that Xiaobai was no longer looking at him but had lowered her head and was pawing at the tablet screen.

"Uh..."

’Oh, well!’

’I must have been seeing things just now.’

’Xiaobai is just a slightly smarter-than-average cat. How could she possibly be becoming sentient?’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

After moving the cat’s little paw off the tablet, Gu Yizhou began to seriously study the candlestick chart for "Button Wine Company."

"What a beautiful trend!"

"Who would imagine that a stock with such a strong upward trend would suddenly start plummeting tomorrow? All because of the company’s financial problems and a debauchery scandal among its management!"

Gu Yizhou muttered under his breath, "But it doesn’t matter. The harder it falls, the more I’ll make from shorting it. At least an 80% return on investment!"

’Huh?’

Hearing Gu Yizhou muttering to himself, Yan Luoxi froze for a moment.

The next second, her big, azure-blue eyes flew wide open.

’This...’

’Button Wine Company has financial problems?’

’And a debauchery scandal among the management??’

’And the scariest part is, the return on a short position is at least 80% or more???’

Yan Luoxi stared at Gu Yizhou in utter shock.

’Seriously.’

’You jerk.’

’Where in the world did you get this information?!’

At that moment, Yan Luoxi was completely stunned by the information that had just come out of Gu Yizhou’s mouth.

’No wonder the jerk advised me not to invest in this company before.’

’It turns out he knew all along that this company was going to implode!’

Suddenly, a lot of things clicked into place for Yan Luoxi.

’But... you jerk, if you could make money by shorting it, why didn’t you tell me?’

The thought suddenly occurred to Yan Luoxi.

But as soon as the thought appeared, she immediately dismissed it.

’Oh, right!’

’Back then, I was in my human form. Of course the jerk wouldn’t have dared to tell me something like this.’

’Leaving aside whether the information could even be leaked, even if Gu Yizhou had told me, he probably would have worried that I wouldn’t believe him!’

’After all, this is the kind of information no normal person would ever believe!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

Still, she couldn’t figure out where Gu Yizhou was getting this information.

During this period, she had been with Gu Yizhou almost constantly.

She hadn’t seen him contact anyone!

’Could he have contacted someone when I wasn’t paying attention?’

’Or did the jerk really analyze this from some subtle clues?’

’No, that’s not right either!’

’Button Wine Company’s stock price is currently in an upward trend, after all.’

’But the jerk clearly stated that Button Wine Company would implode tomorrow.’

’Don’t tell me the jerk can actually predict the future???’

Yan Luoxi simply couldn’t figure it out.

But now wasn’t the time to get hung up on these details.

As a successful businesswoman, she felt this was an opportunity she couldn’t miss.

’A return rate of over 80% from short selling!’

’That’s insane.’

Yes.

She believed what Gu Yizhou said one hundred percent.

Since Gu Yizhou had said it, the return rate was guaranteed to be at least that high.

’Looks like I’ll have to call a board meeting tomorrow to look into this.’

If the board of directors didn’t agree to this short-selling investment, Yan Luoxi planned to do as she did last time and use her own private funds.

She had about a billion in cash flow herself. If she threw it all in, she could make at least eight hundred million.

’This...’

’A return rate like that is enough to drive anyone crazy!’
