Chapter 64: That scumbag bullied me for so long, it’s not too much to collect some interest first, right?

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: That scumbag bullied me for so long, it’s not too much to collect some interest first, right?

That flawless profile and sharp, well-defined jawline made Yan Luoxi’s heart skip a beat!

Honestly, that scumbag Gu Yizhou was undeniably handsome.

From her angle, she could even faintly make out Gu Yizhou’s abs.

She couldn’t help but suck in a breath.

’This is a little too much for me to handle!’

Yan Luoxi quickly averted her gaze. She was afraid she’d get a nosebleed if she stared for even a second longer!

Phew... phew...

’It’s all an illusion!’

’Even if this scumbag is handsome, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s still a scumbag!’

’I can’t let him bewitch me so easily!’

Yan Luoxi silently recited a calming mantra in her mind.

However, Gu Yizhou was completely oblivious to all of this.

At that moment, he was completely immersed in the joy of his massive gains.

Two limit-up days, and he’d already made a full six hundred thousand!

This was even faster than stuffing cash into a sack!

The investment period was one week. With five days remaining, he could sell and cash out next Monday.

If it hit the limit up for all of the remaining five days, his seven-day investment return would be 140%!

Hmm?

’Didn’t the damn system show a seven-day investment return of 199% before?’

’No, that’s not right!’

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered that the seven-day return rate the damn system initially displayed was 200%. It was only when he looked again later that it had become 199%!

’But even if it hits the limit up every day, the seven-day return is only 140%. Where did 200% come from?’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou was baffled.

’Wait, no!’

’Something must be wrong!’

A thought crossed his mind, and he once again pulled the investment-return-rate glasses from his pocket and put them on.

[Stock: Caesar Shares, Current Price: 319.68 yuan.]

[Return on Investment: Latest research results announced. Seven-day ROI: 169%, Long-term ROI: 108% (Predicted).]

He saw that the seven-day investment return for Caesar Shares displayed on the computer screen was now 169%!

...

Damn!

’What the hell is going on?’

’Did the system bug out?’

Gu Yizhou stared at the screen, utterly dumbfounded.

’No, that’s not it!’

Gu Yizhou suddenly figured it out.

’This so-called seven-day return rate is actually a rolling seven-day period calculated from the moment I look!’

’This seven-day period must be cumulative. In other words, the return rate I see every day is a projection for the *next* seven days from that point. It’s as if the initial 200% return I saw was the result of some long-term, cumulative calculation.’

’And this return rate changes with market fluctuations!’

Damn it!

’No wonder!’

Gu Yizhou had initially thought the seven-day return rate was fixed; he’d almost tied his own brain in knots over it!

He had already earned 40%. Based on the current fluctuations, did this mean he’d have to hold the stock for another forty-seven days to get that 169% return?

’This... is a bit different from what I originally thought.’

’And the time frame is a little long, too.’

’Most importantly, the rate changes with the market, which means I’ll have to watch it every day now.’

’I thought with this system, I could just kick back, relax, and wait for the right time to sell!’

’But in the end...’

Sigh...

’As expected!’

’A man...’

’...still has to rely on himself in the end!’

Gu Yizhou shook his head slightly, thinking to himself.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi watched as Gu Yizhou suddenly put on his glasses and stared at the computer screen. His expression shifted from a frown to a relaxed look, then he sighed and shook his head, before his eyes finally settled with a determined gaze.

She was completely baffled.

’What’s gotten into this scumbag?’

She secretly lifted her head to peek at Gu Yizhou’s computer screen and saw it was displaying a stock called "Caesar Shares."

Hmm?

’Caesar Shares?’

Yan Luoxi paused for a moment.

’Didn’t this scumbag say he was going to buy Zhongtian Technology?’

’Why is it Caesar Shares now?’

’Could it be... that Zhongtian Technology is a bust?’

Yan Luoxi’s heart skipped a beat!

’That’s not right!’

’I did my own research and evaluation. There’s definitely insider news about Zhongtian Technology; it’s a sure thing!’

’Why didn’t this scumbag buy Zhongtian Technology?’

She was completely bewildered.

"Oh, well."

"Guess I’ll just have to rely on myself!"

"Worst case, I’ll just have to watch the market every day. If things go south, I can always quit while I’m ahead. Besides, I’ve already made 40% in two days!"

"Can’t be too greedy in life, right?"

Gu Yizhou shook his head, muttering to himself.

His voice was quiet, but because they were so close, Yan Luoxi heard every single word.

’A 40% profit in two days?????’

Yan Luoxi’s eyes flew wide as she stared at Gu Yizhou in utter shock.

’That’s impossible, right?’

’Is this scumbag just showing off?’

For a moment, Yan Luoxi found it hard to believe. But when she saw the investment cost and profit percentage displayed in Gu Yizhou’s stock account on the screen, she had no choice but to accept it!

Gu Yizhou’s stock account showed over seventy lots of Caesar Shares, worth more than two million...

She glanced again at the purchase date: last Friday. That meant it had been exactly two trading days, and the profit was 40%!

This...

’He really did make 40% in two days!’

Yan Luoxi’s mind was in turmoil!

She had followed what she *thought* was Gu Yizhou’s plan and bought into Zhongtian Technology last Friday. Even now, with the news out, her profit was less than 12%!

And Gu Yizhou had made 40%!!

How could she not be shocked?

Wait a minute.

’Hold on!’

’Where did this scumbag get so much money?’

’Didn’t he just trick his mom out of 300,000 for a down payment on a house?’

She glanced at the screen again and saw that Gu Yizhou’s account was marked: "Margin Purchase"!

’He’s using leverage?’

Yan Luoxi’s pupils contracted!

’That scumbag is so daring?!’

’He has so little capital, yet he dared to use five-times leverage!’

’Does he have a death wish?’

However, when Yan Luoxi saw the bright red profit numbers on the screen, she was momentarily speechless.

She had to admit, that scumbag Gu Yizhou was truly impressive.

Zhongtian Technology, the stock he’d picked, had gone up, and Caesar Shares, the one he actually bought, had soared!

Yan Luoxi had to admit it: the scumbag really had some skill. Otherwise, he never would have been bold enough to use five-times leverage.

Wait a minute.

Suddenly!

An idea popped into Yan Luoxi’s head.

’This scumbag hasn’t sold his Caesar Shares yet. Doesn’t that mean it hasn’t peaked?’

’In that case...’

’...could I follow him and buy in, too?’

She silently committed the name "Caesar Shares" to memory.

She decided she would research Caesar Shares when she got to the office tomorrow. If it looked good, she would scramble to buy in right at the opening bell!

Sure, this was the fruit of Gu Yizhou’s labor.

But!

’That scumbag has been messing with me for so long, it’s only fair I collect a little interest, right?’

Hmph...
