Chapter 17 The First Pot of Gold

Feeling Ye Fan's gaze, Ning Xi blushed slightly, straightened her posture shyly, and continued with her exercises.

Luo Yumeng winked at Ye Fan triumphantly. "Did you hear that? Xiao Xi is very happy to be my deskmate, stop trying to sow discord!"

Ye Fan chuckled. "I'm not sowing discord, just stating the facts."

"..."

If she could, Luo Yumeng really wanted to sew Ye Fan's mouth shut with a needle.

He was too venomous!!!

"Hmph!"

Luo Yumeng knocked on Ye Fan's desk. "I think I saw you having lunch with Su Qiaoyu from Class 1 today. Do you have a crush on her?"

She didn't give Ye Fan a chance to speak and continued, "It's no wonder, Su Qiaoyu is the most beautiful girl in the school, ranking first on the school beauty list. Any boy would like her. But I still admire you, you managed to hook up with such a beautiful girl on your first day at school. You didn't waste your good looks."

Ning Xi, who was doing her exercises, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her eyes, and her mood instantly turned sour.

She couldn't explain this feeling, but she just felt uncomfortable.

Then, the girl laughed at herself. What did it have to do with her who Ye Fan had lunch with?

With that, she suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and focused on the workbook in front of her.

Only by studying hard could she live up to her youth.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. Dating is not allowed in senior year. Besides, I think that Su Qiaoyu is quite average-looking, she can't compare to Ning Xi at all. What do you think?"

"Right? I've always thought so!"

Luo Yumeng looked as if she had found a kindred spirit, and said excitedly, "I've always thought Xiao Xi is more beautiful. Whether it's her looks, temperament, or personality, she's better than Su Qiaoyu from Class 1 in every aspect. And most importantly, Su Qiaoyu is flat-chested, in this aspect, Xiao Xi completely outclasses her. How did she become the school beauty?"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know how Xiao Xi grew hers, they're so big..."

"Yumeng!"

Ning Xi couldn't listen anymore and reprimanded with a cold face, "This conversation is getting more and more inappropriate!"

Luo Yumeng obediently shut her mouth. She knew Ning Xi's personality very well. This time, she had probably really made her angry.

She regretted it as soon as she said it, but she couldn't stop herself.

"Xiao Xi, I was wrong."

Ning Xi took out an English test paper from her desk and said coldly, "Do this test paper. If you can't get above 80, don't even think about reading novels this week."

After saying that, she put Luo Yumeng's romance novel into her desk drawer, her face full of coldness.

Luo Yumeng wanted to protest, but after meeting Ning Xi's gaze, she instantly cowered and obediently picked up the test paper, starting to do it with a frown.

Ye Fan stared at Ning Xi's back with interest. He had experienced her assets firsthand.

In his previous life, due to an accidental incident, he had seen Ning Xi's beautiful scenery. Although it was only for a few short seconds, it was deeply engraved in his mind. He fully agreed with Luo Yumeng's words just now.

Big white rabbit... milk candy.

Time flew by, and Ye Fan had been at Zhenhua High School for six days. After school that afternoon, he rushed home and went straight to his room.

He turned on the computer.

As the computer was booting up, he glanced at the time, 5:49 p.m.

Just in time!

Ye Fan remembered very clearly that in March 2010, a stock called Huayu Technology suddenly rose sharply, hitting the daily limit for six consecutive days, and attracting countless investors to follow suit.

However, this stock only enjoyed its glory for a week. When the market opened on the seventh day, Huayu Technology's trend reversed sharply.

In just a few hours, it had crashed, ruining countless people.

It was only then that these investors, whose rationality had returned, remembered the saying:

The stock market is risky, invest with caution.

But when they realized this, it was already too late. There was no such thing as regret medicine in the world.

And today was the last day of Huayu Technology's limit-up. Although it wasn't closing time yet, Ye Fan clearly remembered that the peak of this stock was at 5:53 p.m. on the sixth day, after which it started to decline. At that time, investors thought it was just a normal pullback, but they didn't expect that this decline would be unstoppable.

After the computer booted up, Ye Fan logged into the stock market platform and saw that the price of Huayu Technology had risen to 30.45 yuan. Without any hesitation, he immediately sold all his 10,000 shares. After doing this, a smile appeared on his face.

Six days ago, when he bought Huayu Technology, the price per share was 4.97 yuan. Now he sold it at 29.45 yuan, earning 25.48 yuan per share. With 10,000 shares, he had earned a total of 254,800 yuan.

This was his first pot of gold after being reborn!

His bet with Luo Shan was to turn 10,000 yuan into 50,000 yuan within a week.

Originally, Ye Fan's principal could only buy 2,000 shares, but out of curiosity, Luo Shan followed suit and bought 8,000 shares. 40,000 yuan wasn't much for him, it was purely for fun.

Ye Fan naturally wouldn't refuse such a request.

After deducting Luo Shan's share, he could get about 61,000 yuan, a net profit of 51,000 yuan, successfully winning the bet.

This meant that Luo Shan would lend him two million yuan.

Ye Fan planned to use these two million as his principal.

According to his memory, there would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity next month.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that he had asked Luo Shan to borrow money. Such an opportunity might not come again for years. At this time in his previous life, he was still in school and hadn't started studying stocks yet.

Since he had this opportunity in this life, he naturally had to seize it and make a fortune.

No one would ever have too much money.

At dinner, Luo Shan took the initiative to ask about the stocks. "Xiao Fan, how are the stocks we bought a few days ago doing?"

"I've already sold them."

Ye Fan put down his chopsticks, took out the bank card, and placed it in front of Luo Shan. He said calmly, "There's now 304,500 yuan in this card. After deducting the principal of 49,700 yuan, the net profit in six days is 254,800 yuan. Are you satisfied with this result, uncle?"

Luo Shan's mind buzzed, his eyes widened, and he was so shocked by these words that he stuttered, "Xiao... Xiao Fan, are you sure you're not joking?"

In six days, 50,000 yuan had turned into 300,000.

A 500% profit, such a huge profit made Luo Shan find it hard to believe.

So many seasoned investors were still struggling in the stock market, yet Ye Fan, a minor high school student, had earned 250,000 yuan in just six days. All of this felt like a dream to him.

"Of course not."

Ye Fan picked up the bank card and placed it in Luo Shan's hand, smiling. "Uncle, if you don't believe me, you can go check it at the ATM. Besides, do you think I would tell such an easily exposed lie?"

"This..."

Luo Shan stared blankly at Ye Fan, stunned for almost a minute before he came back to his senses.

Without saying a word, he grabbed his jacket and rushed out.

After finishing his meal, Ye Fan cleaned up and went back to his bedroom. He casually picked up a book from the pile of books by his bedside and started reading attentively.

These books were all bought from a street vendor at the entrance of the residential area, ten yuan each, very cheap.

So, he bought nearly a hundred books on the stall.

After all, gaining experience points was his top priority!

He currently had 88 experience points, and he only needed 12 more to reach 100 experience points to upgrade to Martial Arts.

To be honest, he was a little excited.

What changes would Level 2 Martial Arts bring him?
