Chapter 24 Low Opening

As Chen Wei walked, he pondered where to buy a house and what kind of house to buy.

The south of the city center was expensive, with mostly second-hand houses and scarce new developments. Moreover, the traffic congestion in the city center was unbearable, so Chen Wei was reluctant to buy a house there.

The west of the city was an old area, with many old factories in Yunzhou. Although the house prices were not too high, around twenty thousand, the area was described as dirty and chaotic. Chen Wei was even less inclined to buy a house there.

The north of the city was slightly off-center, with relatively affordable house prices. The better ones were just over twenty thousand, while the ordinary ones were around fifteen to sixteen thousand. Moreover, the roads were spacious, with little traffic congestion, and the environment was much better than the smoggy west.

However, Xu Lili would definitely not want to come to the north. In her mind, it was a blend of urban and rural areas, where poor people lived.

So, it seemed that only the east and central areas of the city were worth considering.

The east was a new district, with beautiful scenery and complete public infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, malls, amusement parks, and parks. It could be said to be the most suitable area for living in Yunzhou. However, the house prices there were generally very high, with hardly any below forty thousand, and even the villas by the seaside cost tens of millions or even billions.

In short, it was a gathering place for the rich.

Of course, Chen Wei wanted to buy a house there, and Xu Lili had always dreamed of having her own house there.

But for now, they couldn't afford it.

So, the central area seemed to be the most suitable choice.

The location of the central area was not too off-center, and the house prices were much cheaper than the south and east, around twenty thousand. The environment was also much better than the west.

Chen Wei planned to visit the property in the central area over the weekend.

Taking out his phone, Chen Wei sent a WeChat message directly to Xu Lili:

"Lili, are you free this weekend? Let's go to the central area to see if there are any suitable houses. I plan to buy a house."

It was only a little after four o'clock, and Xu Lili was probably sleeping. After sending the WeChat message, Chen Wei didn't wait for her reply and put away his phone.

Back at the apartment, he slept until it was dark.

Upon waking up, he picked up his phone and checked it.

There were several WeChat messages from Xu Lili:

"So you finally plan to buy a house? I thought you had given up!" "My colleague's husband just bought a house in Dongcheng last month, 160 square meters, three bedrooms, over six million, paid in one go! Ah, I envy them so much." "Let's talk about it over the weekend. Our company might have a meeting, so I may not have time to go. You can go and take a look yourself first. Let me make it clear, we don't need to look at anything below 100 square meters. No second-hand houses, only new ones!" "Since you plan to buy a house in the central area, you definitely need to buy a car, at least a two hundred thousand one, no less. My colleagues all drive BMWs, while I can only take the bus to work! Do you know how much I've suffered following you?"

Reading Xu Lili's messages, Chen Wei sighed inwardly.

He and Xu Lili were college classmates, from the same university but different departments. They met in the library and gradually developed feelings for each other. They were both from rural areas with average family conditions. During college, they were quite simple and down-to-earth.

Chen Wei missed those times.

But after graduation, Xu Lili slowly changed, or perhaps she was always like this but hadn't shown it before. She started wearing makeup, buying new clothes, and comparing herself with others. Half a year into her job, she began to complain about Chen Wei's lack of money.

Originally, they used to see each other once a week, but then Xu Lili started finding excuses, claiming she was busy with work, meetings, or gatherings with colleagues. Sometimes they wouldn't see each other for a whole month.

Sometimes, Chen Wei would get angry with Xu Lili, thinking she was vain, but more than that, he hated himself for not being able to provide the life Xu Lili wanted.

He had considered breaking up with Xu Lili, but he couldn't let go of this precious relationship.

This was his first love.

Now that he was making money, he could provide the life Xu Lili wanted, and they could return to their sweet university days of being affectionate with each other.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei quickly sent a WeChat message to Xu Lili:

"Lili, don't worry, sooner or later, I will also buy a house in the east, maybe even a villa and a luxury car! I will definitely make you live a happy life!"

The message was sent, but Xu Lili didn't reply. Chen Wei guessed that she was probably in a meeting.

Xu Lili worked at a securities company and had daily summary meetings. It was normal for her to finish work around eight or nine in the evening. Xu Lili had specifically told him not to call her unless it was extremely urgent, as it would disrupt her meetings.

So, Chen Wei only sent her WeChat messages, and they could only talk on the phone on weekend nights, but Xu Lili often didn't answer...

After eating downstairs, Chen Wei took the car to the office.

Many people had already arrived.

Some were gathering together as if studying something, while others were whispering to each other, making the office somewhat noisy.

Sitting at his desk, Chen Wei turned on his computer. Just as he logged into the software, Zheng Junpeng across from him looked up and said with a strange expression, "Take a look at casi."

"What's up?"

Chen Wei asked casually, then immediately switched to that stock.

He saw that there were already many pre-market electronic orders on the market, and the trading volume was still active!

More importantly, it opened low!

"Oh my god, it opened low!"

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zheng Junpeng with a strange expression and whispered.

At this time, the price of casi was fluctuating between three yuan and three yuan two, with very intense fluctuations!

"There's news out. This pharmaceutical company's new drug, which is still in the research stage, encountered some problems in the development process, delaying the launch of the new drug."

Zheng Junpeng's face showed a somewhat gloating expression.

"Is it true or false? Isn't that a disaster? Fortunately, I didn't keep overnight positions yesterday, or I would have been doomed!"

Chen Wei exclaimed with relief.

He had bought over two hundred lots at 3.76 yesterday. If he had kept overnight positions, he would have lost tens of thousands of yuan today.

He didn't keep overnight positions, but Wang Dongcheng did.
