Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Yan Luoxi: Between Others and the Scumbag, Unhesitatingly Choosing to Trust the Scumbag

"Come in."

A moment later, Yan Luoxi’s voice came from inside the office.

Her voice was chilly, but surprisingly pleasant to the ear.

It was much more pleasant than when Gu Yizhou had seen her yesterday.

Clearly, her throat was almost fully recovered.

’Looks like she actually drank that pear and pork lung soup.’

Gu Yizhou mumbled under his breath, "Pretty obedient, isn’t she..."

Then he pushed open the office door and walked inside.

After he walked in, he saw Yan Luoxi at her desk, just like yesterday, still poring over documents. He had no idea what they were.

But that was to be expected.

As president of the group, it was normal for her to be busy every day.

"Sit."

"Give me two minutes. I just need to finish what I’m working on."

Yan Luoxi said calmly, glancing at him.

What could Gu Yizhou say to that? He replied obediently, "Alright, President Yan."

Then, just as he had yesterday, he walked over to the side and plopped down into a chair.

He made no show of being courteous.

All that talk about how you should only sit on the edge of your seat as a sign of respect when your boss offers you one? That concept didn’t exist for Gu Yizhou.

In fact, he was rather disgusted by these so-called rules of etiquette.

’I signed an employment contract, not an indenture agreement!’

’Screw that! I’m not about to indulge you!’

Yesterday, Gu Yizhou had been too reserved to take a good look at the president’s office, but since he was here again today, he naturally sized the place up properly.

’Hmm... It’s certainly big enough!’

’But it’s a bit too simple!’

The entire office layout was exceedingly simple.

Of course, Gu Yizhou was only seeing the main office area.

Supposedly, the entire floor was dedicated to the president’s suite, complete with a gym, a break room, and everything in between.

However, those were places Gu Yizhou couldn’t just wander into.

Not that he had much interest in seeing them anyway.

’Why look at all that stuff when I could be looking at the woman right in front of me? Her expression might be a little cold, but at least she’s easy on the eyes!’

Yan Luoxi didn’t keep him waiting long.

A moment later, she set down her work and looked up at Gu Yizhou.

She looked up just in time to see the scoundrel looking her over, nodding as if in appreciation.

A faint blush crept onto Yan Luoxi’s cheeks.

’This scoundrel!’

’Tch!’

’You lech!’

’Hmph!’

She fumed inwardly.

As if sensing her murderous glare, Gu Yizhou snapped back to his senses.

Completely unfazed, he retracted his gaze and asked in a perfectly serious tone, "President Yan, was there something you needed me for?"

’Which really meant: Spit it out already. I’m in a hurry to get some lunch!’

Yan Luoxi wasn’t an idiot; of course she knew what he was implying.

’He’s always trying to get fresh with me, and just now he was secretly checking me out.’

’That scoundrel.’

’And he wants to eat?’

’He can go eat dirt!’

’Better yet, let him starve!’

’Hmph hmph!’

So, Yan Luoxi decided to completely ignore the subtext of his question.

She picked up an investment analysis from her desk, held it out to Gu Yizhou, and said in a cool tone, "Take a look at this investment report."

"Oh."

Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything else, simply reaching out to take the file from her.

’He didn’t know if this woman was trying to test him or something, but it didn’t matter.’

’Ultimately,’

’when it came to finance, he, Gu Yizhou, with two lifetimes of experience under his belt, had nothing to fear!’

Gu Yizhou took the file and began to read.

"Zhongxin Group...?"

Seeing those two words, Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

He quickly recovered, however, and looked up at Yan Luoxi.

She was watching him with her usual placid expression, showing no sign of anything unusual.

’It must be a coincidence,’ Gu Yizhou thought.

With that, he lowered his head and continued to read seriously.

Meanwhile, seeing Gu Yizhou’s reaction, Yan Luoxi was inwardly ecstatic, even though she maintained a nonchalant facade.

’That scoundrel.’

’That scared you, didn’t it!’

’I’ll scare you to death!’

’Hmph hmph~’

But as Gu Yizhou read on, he grew more and more alarmed.

HSSS...

’Holy crap...’

’The person who wrote this investment analysis is incredible!’

’The analysis is so comprehensive, and many of the ideas align perfectly with my own.’

’And I only know this because I had inside information about Zhongxin Group!’

’If this person isn’t a reincarnator, then they’re a bona fide genius.’

Seeing the shocked look on the scoundrel’s face, the corners of Yan Luoxi’s mouth curled up irresistibly.

But the moment Gu Yizhou finished the report and looked up, she quickly wiped the expression from her face.

"Well? What do you think of the analysis?"

Yan Luoxi asked, her expression placid.

"It’s brilliant."

Gu Yizhou said with genuine admiration.

"Hmm... The report says Zhongxin Group’s stock price follows a cycle and is expected to continue rising for now. What’s your take on that?"

Yan Luoxi asked, "Do you think there’s still an opportunity if we get in now?"

"Hard to say."

Gu Yizhou said with a frown.

According to the timeline his system had provided, Zhongxin Group’s short-term stock price surge was about to hit its peak.

Of course, it was still possible for it to fluctuate and rise a few more points.

Gu Yizhou’s original plan was to sell off all his shares during the opening call auction tomorrow.

He had already made a profit of around 2 million.

While that was a bit short of the maximum possible profit of over 2 million, every stock trader knows you should never try to squeeze out the very last cent.

Securing your profits is the name of the game.

So, as for whether the price would continue to rise if one were to enter the market now, Gu Yizhou really couldn’t say for sure.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but furrow her elegant brows.

The deadline Gu Yizhou had previously given her was tomorrow.

But seeing that the upward momentum of Zhongxin Group’s stock was still so strong, she was a bit doubtful.

She had commissioned this analysis, and the company’s veteran analysts were unanimous in their belief that the stock price would continue to rise.

This contradicted Gu Yizhou’s earlier prediction.

That was why she had called him in to probe his thoughts on the matter.

And now Gu Yizhou was saying he wasn’t sure either.

Moreover, from the way he spoke, it seemed he was leaning toward the stock price having nearly peaked, sticking by his original analysis.

’In that case, I’ll have to get ready to sell off my shares in batches this afternoon and tomorrow.’

’Yes.’

’Between everyone else and this scoundrel,’

’Yan Luoxi chose to trust the scoundrel without a moment’s hesitation.’

Seeing her pensive expression, Gu Yizhou asked, "President Yan, are you thinking about investing in Zhongxin Group right now?"

"Hm?"

Pulled from her thoughts, Yan Luoxi looked at him, considered for a moment, and said, "I was considering it. Do you think it’s a viable option?"

"Well..."

At her words, Gu Yizhou frowned slightly, looking as if he wanted to say something but was holding back.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi frowned as well. She looked at Gu Yizhou and said, "It’s alright. Scoun... Er, just tell me what you’re thinking."
