Chapter 101: The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart

Chen Wei glanced at Zhou Yi, smiled, and said, "Xu Lin must have been instructed by Yuan Tong. With her meager salary, there's no way she'd spend two thousand yuan to bribe Wang Fang."

"I know. I won't let those two scoundrels off," Zhou Yi said venomously.

"Remember, don't do anything rash," Chen Wei reminded again.

"Don't worry, boss. I've got this," Zhou Yi nodded in assurance.

Chen Wei said no more. He knew Zhou Yi was a bit petty and cunning, but also smart and not impulsive. This was precisely why Chen Wei brought him along despite past grievances. However, Chen Wei still remained cautious, knowing trust should have its limits.

After the market opened, Chen Wei sought other opportunities first. Soon enough, Zheng Junpeng called out a stock: CRBP.

It opened at 5.20 yuan, with a buy order pegging it at 5.30 yuan, but sell orders were at 5.50 yuan. There were over 500 lots at 5.50 yuan, and the trading was frantic.

Seeing the chart, Chen Wei noticed the stock had been consolidating around 5.20 yuan for over a month, showing a clear bottoming reversal pattern. Without hesitation, he bought 200 lots.

Both Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi each bought 100 lots. As soon as they entered, the stock price shot past 5.50 yuan. With few large sell orders, it soared to 6.05 yuan, hitting the upper limit.

"Yes! Awesome!" Zhou Yi shouted excitedly.

"This stock has been consolidating for so long, and the buying volume is strong. It could hit a few more upper limits. No need to sell yet," Zheng Junpeng advised.

"This time Wang Fang shouldn't force a liquidation, right? I didn't break any rules!" Zhou Yi leaned back in his chair, grinning.

"If they force a liquidation this time, it would be unjustifiable," Zheng Junpeng chuckled.

Chen Wei smiled lightly, saying nothing.

In the risk control office, Wang Fang was monitoring the positions of over twenty traders in Group Seven. Within half an hour of the market opening, Chen Wei had an unrealized profit of 11,000 yuan, and both Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi had 5,500 yuan each. The others were mostly between a few hundred to 1,800 yuan.

Almost everyone had entered CRBP. Wang Fang marveled at the profitability of Group Seven. Other groups' traders were making at most a few hundred yuan, and even the core team members were not making over a thousand yuan each. Yet, Group Seven had over a dozen members exceeding a thousand yuan.

It was clear that Chen Wei or someone else had called out CRBP, and the group had followed. Unlike other groups where traders worked individually, Group Seven worked together.

While observing, Xu Lin approached and asked, "What stock is Chen Wei trading?"

"Ah? Nothing... nothing!" Wang Fang instinctively replied, blocking the screen with her body.

Xu Lin was surprised by Wang Fang's reaction, casting a dissatisfied glance but saying nothing. She leaned over to see for herself. Noticing all Group Seven accounts in CRBP and the huge profits, she frowned and returned to her seat, switching to CRBP.

Seeing it hit the upper limit, Xu Lin felt uncomfortable and immediately messaged Yuan Tong on QQ: "They all entered CRBP and it hit the upper limit. See if you can drive the price back down!"

Yuan Tong quickly replied with a string of ellipses.

Damn, driving down an upper limit stock? That's suicide. Especially with CRBP's massive trading volume just now, even the entire core team and all Meta traders combined might not be able to do it. The trend was too strong.

Not only did Yuan Tong not want to drive it down, he was contemplating buying more when the market reopened.

Though he resented Chen Wei's profits, he couldn't oppose making money.

Xu Lin, seeing Yuan Tong's response, knew he wouldn't drive it down. Annoyed, she replied, "Useless, can't even drive down a stock."

"Come on, it's a strong stock. You might as well ask me to jump off a building," Yuan Tong retorted.

"Fine, you're useless. Can't do anything right!" Xu Lin replied angrily, then went to Wang Fang and ordered coldly, "Wang Fang, force their liquidation after the market reopens!"

"What? Force liquidation?" Wang Fang was stunned.

Even if Chen Wei and his group had broken the rules, Wang Fang wouldn't dare force liquidation again.

"Just do it!" Xu Lin ordered, sounding commanding.

"But they haven't broken any rules!" Wang Fang protested.

"You're so dense. Just say the stock price fluctuated abnormally, so we're liquidating to avoid risk," Xu Lin said impatiently.

Indeed, Meta had this rule to prevent trading in stocks with abnormal fluctuations.

"But they're holding long positions, and the stock is on an uptrend. There's no reason to liquidate!" Wang Fang insisted.

Forcing liquidation now would cause trouble, and Wang Fang didn't want to bear the consequences.

"What, you think my words don't matter?" Xu Lin's voice rose in anger.

Wang Fang remained silent and unmoved.

Xu Lin glared at Wang Fang, saying, "Fine, let's see how long you can keep this up!" Then she returned to her seat.

Wang Fang was furious, speechless. A nearby risk controller softly comforted her but dared not say much. Xu Lin was known to have a good relationship with Luo Chen, who was highly influential in the company, even more than the CEO.

Under such circumstances, Xu Lin was virtually the de facto head of the risk control team. No one wanted to or dared to offend her.

Back at her seat, Xu Lin started complaining to Luo Chen, criticizing Yuan Tong for being cowardly and Wang Fang for being disobedient, urging Luo Chen to replace her with a newcomer.
