Chapter 009: Father's Phone Call

After more than a hundred hands of buy orders at $15 were knocked out by Zhou Yi, those other trapped bulls began to stop loss one after another, and the stock price plummeted to $14.50 in an instant.

Chen Wei glanced at the trading volume and estimated that most of those trapped bulls had already stopped loss, and there were still tens of hands of buy orders at $14.50. He figured that the price might not drop further for a while, so he placed a hidden exit order at $14.51.

As there were sporadic downward trades, Chen Wei's fifty-hand order was quickly filled.

This trade was short at $15.74 and exited at $14.51, fifty hands, with a profit of $6,150!

Including the previous $4,200 profit, Chen Wei's total profit for the day had exceeded ten thousand, reaching $10,350!

After closing the position, Chen Wei leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed.

His skill had been exhausted, and he had made a good amount of money for the day. It was not even noon yet, with more than four hours until the market closed, and Chen Wei had no intention of trading anymore. He decided to take a break, read some novels.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi, with a gloomy face, stared at the screen with the bright red numbers indicating his losses!

He had lost over eight thousand seven hundred!

Originally dreaming of making over ten thousand this month, now he had directly turned into negative numbers!

Beside him, Zhao Yang's expression was also grim.

The company had eight trading teams, and each team leader was evaluated monthly.

Originally, Zhao Yang's team had a good chance of taking first place this month.

But now, Zhou Yi lost over eight thousand, and Zhao Yang himself had just lost over ten thousand. Fortunately, he had already made five to six thousand earlier. Altogether, they had lost over five thousand today. With Zhou Yi's losses added, the two of them had lost over fourteen thousand today.

Now, forget about aiming for first place, even avoiding last place would be difficult!

Zhao Yang felt extremely frustrated. He stood behind Zhou Yi for a while, feeling angry, before he remembered Chen Wei.

When he turned to look at Chen Wei, who was sitting there leisurely, Zhao Yang asked in a cold voice, "Chen Wei, how much did you lose?"

"Lose money? Why would I?"

Chen Wei glanced at Zhao Yang and asked.

Without further ado, Zhao Yang went to Chen Wei and took a look at his screen, then he was stunned!

He actually made over ten thousand!

Zhao Yang couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Yes, it was over ten thousand!

Ignoring everything else, Zhao Yang immediately took Chen Wei's mouse and opened Chen Wei's trading records.

"You went short?"

After looking for a while, Zhao Yang frowned and asked.

"Yes, any problem?"

Chen Wei asked back, pretending to be puzzled.

"Why did you go short?"

Zhao Yang asked with a tone of questioning.

Although Chen Wei made money on this trade, under the circumstances at that time, he shouldn't have gone short anyway!

"Didn't you tell me that this stock might experience a significant drop? So I listened to you and went short. What's wrong?"

Chen Wei replied with a puzzled expression.

This left Zhao Yang speechless!

His face turned red with anger!

After a while, he said angrily, "Fine, you are quite obedient!"

"Of course, Manager Zhao, I occasionally listen to your advice."

Chen Wei replied with a faint smile.

Zhao Yang was almost furious!

With a snort, he turned and left.

If he stayed any longer, he might really get sick from anger.

As he passed by Zhou Yi, Zhao Yang couldn't help but say, "I told you this stock might experience a significant drop. Chen Wei listened to me and went short, but you stupidly went long and even entered so many positions! You'd better reflect on it!"

This made Zhou Yi almost spit blood!

Do you still have any shame?

I don't believe you didn't enter a long position just now! Maybe those three hundred hands that were sold just now were yours!

However, Zhou Yi could only think this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

While Chen Wei had made enough, he was leisurely reading novels here, Zhou Yi had lost his mood to trade and had already lost beyond his margin limit. He couldn't trade anymore and started reading novels too.

After reading for a while, Chen Wei felt bored and glanced at the skill interface in his mind.

At this time, the pointer had returned to position 0, and the bright red '1' had dimmed like the other numbers. The countdown at the top had also started.

Besides, the experience bar at the bottom unexpectedly increased by 4 points, becoming 4/100!

Chen Wei was stunned!

Then he realized that he must have used his skill just now, earning that $6,150, which was a direct change to past events.

However, he didn't know how these four experience points were calculated.

With a thought, Chen Wei opened the notepad on his phone and recorded a few numbers:

6150, 4.

As long as he recorded a few more times, it would be easy to find the calculation pattern.

After finishing these, Chen Wei no longer paid attention to the skill interface and found another novel to read.

Just as he finished reading, it was time for the market to close.

As soon as the market closed, Zhou Yi shut down his computer and left without a word.

Chen Wei also shut down his computer and left the company, leisurely heading home.

Walking on the street, breathing in the slightly cool fresh air of early autumn, his mood was obviously different from yesterday.

Yesterday, he was feeling frustrated, even doubting whether he was suitable for this job.

But today, he felt cheerful!

He made over ten thousand in one night! The commission was not small!

If he could earn this much every night, he could buy a house and a car in just one or two months!

His girlfriend, Xu Lili, would no longer complain about him not making money!

His parents wouldn't have to work so hard in their hometown anymore!

Those relatives and friends wouldn't laugh at him anymore!

Thinking about this, Chen Wei walked while thinking. After a while, he took out his phone, thinking about whether to send a text message to Xu Lili to tell her that he had made money.

But then he thought it over and decided against it. It was Wednesday today. He would tell her in person when he went to see her over the weekend!

It took about an hour to walk from the company to Chen Wei's place.

When he got downstairs, Chen Wei didn't buy buns this time. Instead, he ordered a bowl of ten-yuan wontons and two tea eggs, as well as a meat bun.

Having made money, he had to eat something good...

While he was eating, his phone rang.

Chen Wei was a little surprised. Who would call him so early in the morning?

He took out his phone and saw that it was his father calling.

Chen Wei quickly answered, "Dad, what's up? Why did you call so early? Is everything okay?"

On the other end of the phone came his father Chen Jianping's hoarse voice: "Oh, it's nothing. I just called to ask how you've been lately."

"We're fine, Dad. Are you and Mom okay?"

"We're fine too. You don't have to worry about us. It's just... How's your job going?"

Chen Jianping hesitated a bit.

"It's going well, Dad. Let me tell you, I'll be making big money soon! By then, I'll buy a house or two here in Yunzhou. No, I'll buy two houses. You and Mom can come and live with me. You don't have to work anymore. I'll support you!"

Chen Wei said excitedly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Chen Jianping spoke, "Xiao Wei, your cousin from Aunt Zhang's family came back yesterday."
