Chapter 58: Everyone’s Shock, Yan Luoxi Almost Got Exposed

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Everyone’s Shock, Yan Luoxi Almost Got Exposed

"Hm?"

Hearing the word "however," everyone’s gazes once again focused on Chen Wan.

"However, under President Yan’s decisive leadership, our company made arrangements in advance and invested in Zhongtian Technology early on. So, regardless of whether this news is true or false, our company is already profiting from this wave!"

Chen Wan looked at the crowd and said slowly.

"Whoa~"

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in shock, their gazes turning to Yan Luoxi at the head of the table!

Except for the few senior executives who already knew this information, everyone else was utterly astonished.

Even Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at Yan Luoxi.

’She really is the woman who took over Tidal Group and grew it from a ten-billion-dollar company into a hundred-billion-dollar one in just a few short years! Her judgment is wickedly sharp!’ Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

CLAP CLAP CLAP—

"Alright, enough chatter. I’ve called you all here because we need the finance department to analyze and assess the highest possible take-profit point for Zhongtian Technology’s stock!"

Ignoring everyone’s shock, Chen Wan clapped her hands and spoke.

...

「An hour later.」

At his desk, He Mingyi leaned over to Gu Yizhou and whispered, "Hey, Old Gu, our President Yan is really something else, isn’t she? Her foresight is just wicked. To think she made her move before the news even broke!"

Nearby, Song Sisi and the others overheard and chimed in softly, "It’s true. President Yan is an MIT graduate, after all. She’s incredible!"

"Mm... she is indeed very impressive."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou nodded slightly.

"By the way, how high do you all think Zhongtian Technology’s stock price will go this time?" Chen Yuqi asked.

"I’m guessing at least five limit-up days!" Luo Cheng said.

"I agree, this rally should see at least three or more limit-up days. I just wonder how much the company invested!"

"President Yan handled it personally, so the investment must be huge. At least nine figures to start!"

"Totally. The company is going to make a killing on this one. If only I’d known about this news ahead of time!"

"Yeah, seriously!"

"But for small fry like us, forget about it!"

...

The group murmured amongst themselves in hushed voices.

Gu Yizhou remained silent, quietly listening to the discussion.

’But he knew better than anyone else that this wave would bring at least a 60% return on investment for Zhongtian Technology. If the company could hold on for a long-term investment, the returns could at least triple! It all depended on what the company chose to do.’

’Of course!’

’Gu Yizhou wasn’t foolish enough to say this out loud. Even if he did, no one would believe him. After all, he was still just an intern who hadn’t even been officially hired yet.’

Just as everyone was whispering amongst themselves,

CLAP CLAP CLAP...

Chen Dongchao, the leader of Team Three in the Second Financial Analysis Department, stood up and clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention. Then he said, "Alright, that’s enough gossip. And this matter is not to be discussed outside the company. You all know that!"

"Uh..."

Everyone tactfully shut their mouths.

"Okay, back to your desks. Get to work. We have a huge amount of analysis and assessment to do. If we don’t finish it this week, you’ll all be coming back to work overtime on the weekend!" Chen Dong said.

"We know!"

At this, everyone looked utterly crestfallen, responding dejectedly.

’No one wants to come in and work overtime on a weekend, after all!’

After the group dispersed, Chen Dong suddenly remembered something and said to Gu Yizhou, "Oh, right. Yizhou, come to my office for a moment."

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou paused for a second before it registered, then nodded. "Okay, Leader Chen!"

He stood up and followed Chen Dongchao toward the team leader’s office.

Seeing this, the others were puzzled.

"Why is Leader Chen looking for Brother Yizhou?" Song Sisi asked, confused.

"No idea!"

"He probably has an assignment for him, right?" Chen Yuqi was also very confused, hazarding a guess.

"Uh... don’t tell me... Yizhou’s getting fired?" He Mingyi piped up from the side.

The moment he said that, everyone present shot him a glare.

Especially Song Sisi. "Pah! You’re the one who’s getting fired!"

"Yeah, Yizhou’s performance has always been great. If anyone’s getting fired, it’d be you first, right?"

"You know, you and Yizhou are the only interns on our team!" Chen Yuqi added coolly.

He Mingyi: "..."

’Damn this world where looks are everything!’

A bitter expression crossed his face, and he didn’t dare say another word.

「Meanwhile, in the top-floor president’s office.」

Roy sipped her coffee and said gleefully, "Xixi, we are going to make a killing on this one!"

Yan Luoxi glanced at her. "Don’t celebrate too early. With stock market investments, until the profit is in your pocket, anything can happen."

"True!"

Roy nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, she thought of something else and asked, "By the way, Xixi, I’m still really curious. How did you get this information?"

Hearing Roy’s question, the handsome face of Gu Yizhou flashed through Yan Luoxi’s mind, and a faint blush crept onto her perpetually icy, beautiful face.

But she quickly returned to normal.

However, this brief moment was caught by Roy.

’Something’s off! Something is very off about Xixi!’ she thought to herself.

So she decided to test the waters. "Speaking of which, this kind of information doesn’t usually leak easily, does it?"

"Hm?"

Yan Luoxi frowned slightly. She turned to Roy and said flatly, "Didn’t we already talk about this last time?"

"We did, but you only said someone told you. You never said who!" Roy couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her.

"You don’t know them," Yan Luoxi said, still indifferent.

"Is that so?"

"Then can you tell me who it is?"

"No."

"Ugh..."

"Is there an NDA?"

"Yes."

"Why do I feel like something’s not right?"

"Could that person be the owner of those clothes you were wearing last time?" Roy mused aloud, thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat. She was panicking internally, but on the surface, she remained completely expressionless.

’Because that damned girl Roy had guessed correctly!’

"No!" Yan Luoxi said emotionlessly. "Alright, I have a video conference in a bit. If there’s nothing else, you should go back to your own office."

As she spoke, she picked up a document from her desk and began to review it.

It was a clear dismissal.

"Er..."

What else could Roy say? She could only turn around obediently and walk out.

THUD~

After the office door closed, Yan Luoxi finally lifted her head and stared deeply in the direction of the door.

After pulling her gaze back, Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered something. She picked up the desk phone,

"Assistant Bai, please come to my office..."
