Chapter 164: The Day of Making Money While Lying Down (Extra)
The originally noisy classroom, the moment Cheng Xing entered, fell into complete silence.
A pair of cold, emotionless eyes, fell upon him.
A strong wave of unease welled up in his heart.
Cheng Xing didn't understand what was going wrong.
Smiling, he greeted, "What's up with you all today, why are you all acting so weird?"
Cold!
The atmosphere was chilling!
No one spoke to him.
Cheng Xing was filled with an inexplicable rage.
What on earth was going on!
"Huh?!"
At that moment, Cheng Xing caught sight of a few photos placed on his desk.
They looked vaguely familiar.
He picked them up and looked at them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, his mind roared, as if he had been struck by lightning.
His body convulsed, his face turned paper-white.
Each of the photos, like a sharp knife, pierced his heart.
It was as if they stripped him bare and paraded him through the streets.
No, this was even harder to accept than being publicly humiliated.
"No, it's a fake, it's a fake, I didn't, this is a forgery!"
Cheng Xing was making squealing, ear-piercing protests.
He was still arguing.
"Humph!" At this time, a boy, who had always disliked him, stood up.
In his hand was a CD: "The photos may be fake, but the contents of this CD can't be faked!"
"What CD, I don't know anything!" Cheng Xing's eyes were bloodshot.
Another male classmate stood up.
His face was filled with anger, but his eyes were full of mocking.
He ranked second in the class, only after Cheng Xing.
He was often called the eternal second.
But now, he saw the hope of becoming first.
In a resounding voice, "The content on the CD matches the photos.
Didn't think, you look harmless an earth on the surface.
In the background, doing such a thing on the school premises, a place of such sanctity.
It's utterly shameless, you should be expelled!"
Cheng Xing was totally thrown.
Demolishing his head thinking, he couldn't figure out who had done it.
At this moment, he could no longer stay here.
He had to call his dad immediately and use money to solve this problem.
Just as he got to the door, the class teacher arrived.
His face was stormy: "Cheng Xing, you are being foolish, you're not a good learner at such a young age.
Those photos, have been seen by all the teachers and students in the school.
This matter can't be covered up, you should withdraw from school; at least let you save some dignity."
Cheng Xing's face turned ashen.
He violently grabbed the class teacher's arm: "I was framed, you have to believe me."
The class teacher fiercely shook off his hand: "Even at this juncture, you're still arguing!
The first thing I did was to check the surveillance camera from the school gate this Sunday and personally saw you entering the school.
Regarding this matter, what else do you have to explain?"
Of course, he also saw another girl.
But he consulted the top authorities immediately and got that part of the video deleted.
Cheng Xing was ruined, and there was no way around it.
There was no need to involve the girl as well.
The impact on the school wouldn't be that large.
Cheng Xing looked utterly hopeless.
Why did things suddenly turn out this way?
This, perhaps, was the retribution from across the endless river of time and space.
...
After school, when Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had lunch in the dining hall.
Jiang Xu left with his backpack. He went to a nearby securities company and opened an account.
He asked for the afternoon off.
Stock trading sessions were from two-thirty to four in the afternoon, he couldn't participate if he didn't take leave.
Now, stock trading can be done online.
Jiang Xu recharged his newly opened account with one million.
After returning to the classroom, he opened a stock trading website and entered the code for HuiGuang stocks.
At this time, HuiGuang's stocks had plummeted to rock bottom.
0.55 yuan.
From its peak price of over ten yuan, it had risen almost twentyfold.
When the market opened in the afternoon, Jiang Xu first bought one hundred thousand yuan worth.
The stock price fluctuated slightly and then fell a few percentage points.
He hadn't dared to buy one million in one go for fear of attracting attention.
He bought in multiple transactions.
By the time the market closed, the price of HuiGuang Tech's stock was 0.53 yuan.
He had made a small loss.
But it didn't matter.
He calmly waited for the stock price to rise.
After selling at the peak, he could just pay off the loan he borrowed to buy the building and still have some left over.
As for investing more, Jiang Xu thought better of it.
If you have little capital, there's not much of a big problem.
Once the amount involved is substantial, you're likely to be targeted.
He currently did not have a strong resilience to risk.
It's better to be stable.
He spent three days writing Chen Xueyi's autobiography and sent it to her.
She didn't reply till much later: "Thank you, little brother Jiang, you wrote it so well. I'll treat you to a meal when you're free."
"I had my secretary send you the money, remember to check."
Not long after, Jiang Xu received his five hundred thousand yuan fee.
If only he had a few more employers like this, life would be easy.
Running a website didn't make money this fast.
Then he began writing for Liu Yue.
He sent over the introduction and then went to sleep.
His sleep quality had been poor recently.
The next day when he woke up, he saw the message Liu Yue had sent.
She had a few minor suggestions, but the overall structure was fine.
It should be finished by this Saturday.
The weather had turned cool.
People were wearing long sleeves when they went out.
The streets were no longer filled with long, beautiful legs and silk beauties.
There was a mock examination today.
When the results came out in the afternoon, the classmates were stunned.
Jiang Xu performed steadily, still in first place.
The second place was taken by An Nuonuo.
The difference in score between the two was only ten.
Fu Yanjie's performance was surprisingly good, ranking nineteenth in the class.
It seemed that the strict parenting at his home was effective.
If Fu Yanjie could keep this up until the college entrance exam, along with some tips from Jiang Xu,
it wouldn't be a problem for him to get into a decent school.
In the afternoon around three, Fu Yanjie received a call.
After hanging up, he excitedly ran over to Jiang Xu: "The interior and exterior renovations of your two buildings are all finished."
It was now November 25th.
This was about a week earlier than estimated.
Jiang Xu was also excited.
This meant that he could now rent out the buildings.
If he rented out all the units, he would be earning tens of thousands of yuan each month. The thought thrilled him.
He said to An Nuonuo, "After school, let's go and have a look."
An Nuonuo's eyes sparkled: "Sure."
Jiang Xu also told his parents about this.
Both of them had been visiting the buildings every now and then, looking forward to them being finished so they could become landlords and landladies.
After school in the afternoon,
they each went home, then An Nuonuo came to pick up Jiang Xu in her little QQ car.
Fu Yanjie was also at his home.
This was a little bit of a historic moment.
Fu Yanjie was envious seeing Jiang Xu smoothly take the passenger seat.
He muttered under his breath, "When will it be my turn for such sweet romance?"
When they arrived in North City, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were there too.
Unsurprisingly, both became exceptionally enthusiastic when they saw An Nuonuo.
Chen Yue even said something that Jiang Xu couldn't hold back a smile from.
