Chapter 376: The Heart That Was Beating Violently

Chapter 376 The Heart That Was Beating Violently

“Have you lost your mind recently? How could you fall for such a scam?”

“Wait a minute? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that liar?”

Xu Lu was speechless.

The three questions made Xu Lu blush.

‘How could she question Su Yang so casually like that! What’s worse, how dare she say that about me!

“Of course, the most important thing is… She knows me too well. How could she have guessed that I like Su Yang?’

Although her cousin had guessed her thoughts, Xu Lu could not admit it. She said coquettishly, “Hey! We’re supposed to have a serious discussion here! Can you not change the

topic?”

Xu Lu’s cousin clicked her tongue. “You’re hopeless.”

Xu Lu was speechless

‘Could she possibly understand me that well?’

Her cousin did not continue to tease Xu Lu. Instead, she said, “Lulu, you’ve definitely been cheated, trust me. Even the best fund manager or trader can’t say for sure if a stock will rise to its daily limit for 2 days in a row, let alone 1 day.”

“Unless…”

Xu Lu asked, “Unless what?”

Her cousin said, “Unless he’s the one manipulating the stock from behind the scenes.”

Her cousin then changed her tone. “But you said before that he’s in the film industry and has affiliations with social media. Those are projects that burn money so how could he have that much financial resources to manipulate the stock market? It takes a lot of capital for a person to try and manipulate the stock market.”

Xulu was speechless, she felt that she couldn’t refute her cousin’s statement.

‘She’s not defaming Su Yang, she’s merely stating the facts. Plus, I can’t say that I understand what’s going on either. How could Su Yang have that much confidence to be able to be so sure of what’s going to happen with that particular stock?’

Suddenly, a thought struck on Xu Lu’s mind and she said, “Do you think he knows someone who is involved with manipulating the stock market?”

Xu Lu’s cousin thought about it and said, “That’s possible.”

Xu Lu was so happy that she wanted to dance because she had finally found a reasonable explanation for the matter. Of course, she was also happy that Su Yang did not lie to her.

However, just as she was feeling happy, her cousin immediately dashed her joy. “However, I’ve studied the stock you sent over. This stock has been the leading stock in the entire stock market and it’s been rising at a very shocking rate. However, things have been looking quite bad for them since yesterday.”

“Here have a look, it has been rising to its daily limit for the past few days, achieving the highest the moment the market opens everyday, so people did not even have the chance to buy it. This is a classic example of someone manipulating the stocks so that it achieves a high price.”

“However, for the past 2 days, the stock has had troubles trying to maintain its price at the highest point. Instead, it has been a landslide as it began to fall, hovering up and down throughout the day, even to the point where it hits green sometimes.”

Xu Lu interrupted her. “What do you mean by hitting the green?” Her cousin was speechless.

“You’re such a greenie to the stock market!”

Xu Lu said coquettishly, “Of course I’m a greenie, that’s why I’m asking you!”

Her cousin scoffed, “So that’s how it is. You’re only here to ask me because you’re begging for my help. I see that your ass is really asking for

it.”

Xu Lu was speechless.

She quickly changed the topic. “So what exactly do you mean by hitting the green?”

Her cousin said, “When a stock rises, it’s called hitting the red while it’s hitting the green if it’s falling. In fact, based on this stock’s graph, it’s managed to rise to it’s limit and then fall all the way down to rock bottom today.”

Xu Lu said, “Oh… What does that mean?”

Her cousin paused for a while before saying, “There are many possibilities that could cause this. However, after I have studied your stock, I realized that it’s because the main investor has been selling off their shares.” This time, she did not wait for Xu Lu to ask and directly explained, “What I mean is that the main investor has been pulling up the price to its highest, then they will sell off their shares and prepare to rake in a hefty profit.”

Xu Lu did not seem to understand but nodded anyway. However, she remembered that her cousin couldn’t see what she was doing, so she quickly added, “So you’re saying that this stock isn’t worth investing in at the moment?”

Her cousin said, “That’s right. The reason is because the people who are involved in manipulating this stock have already started selling their shares. If you enter now, you will only be caught by the higher-ups and lose your money.”

After saying that, she sighed and said, “Do you still remember that I was stuck with a certain stock for more than three months and couldn’t hold on any longer in the end, so I ended up cutting the cord to avoid further losses?

‘I do remember it very clearly.’

Her cousin may not have been the richest in her family, but she was the smartest amongst all of them. Ever since she was in university, her cousin had been using her pocket money to invest in stocks. While other people saved money to buy cosmetics and bags, her cousin invested all her money into stocks.

‘Cousin is indeed very capable. She has been able to dominate the stock market, and even managed to make it to the bull market just in time. As a result, she slowly earned from 10,000 yuan in the past to more than 100,000 yuan. ‘In the end, when she bought a stock last year, she got caught up in it and lost 30%. I can still remember how angry she was at the time like it was yesterday.

‘My butt had been thoroughly ravaged because of how angry she was.’

Even now, Xu Lu could still feel the numb sensation from it, her butt began to feel painful all of a sudden.

After her cousin explained the risks of this stock to Xu Lu, the former came to her own conclusion. “Lulu, I really feel that there’s something wrong with this junior of yours. It’s best that you don’t listen to him. It’s not been easy for you to save up some money. Is it worth it to risk losing all of it now?”

Xu Lu really wanted to say that it was worth it, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, her heart ached for the money she had worked so hard to save, so she took it back and said hesitantly, “But it doesn’t make sense. He has no reason to lie to me, there’s nothing for him to gain by doing so.”

Cousin Xu Lu said, “How could there be nothing for him to gain? From the way I see it, there are two possibilities. The first being your classmate had actually bought the stock just like you said, but it’s a little difficult for him to sell them now, so he’s trying to use all sorts of tricks to get others to buy it off him.”

“After all, the basic principle of investing in the stock market is that someone has to buy it in order to sell. If no one buys it, the stock wouldn’t sell even if it’s price was at 1 cent.”

“The other possibility is that he was tricked by someone as well. Moreover, he has been abandoned by the seller. However, he’s still able to slam his chest and tell you about this, even asking you to invest in this stock. I don’t think this person means well. You’d better stay away from him.”

Then, Xu Lu’s cousin said, “In conclusion, my judgement is that this stock will not rise. Furthermore, this person is a scammer!”

Xu Lu listened to her cousin in a daze and said quietly, “Alright, I… understand. Thank you.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lu looked at the chat history between Su Yang and herself. Her brain was filled with different thoughts.

‘Should I buy this stock or not?’

She hesitated.

Just like that, Xu Lu hesitated for the entire night. In the end, she decided… ‘Let’s have a look first.

‘Anyway, Su Yang isn’t going anywhere. There’s always a next time if I miss out on this opportunity. However, if I lose this 10,000 yuan, that would be the end of it…’

Obviously, Su Yang was unaware of what Xu Lu was thinking. In his mind, he had only helped Xu Lu out of convenience and was not intentional

He did not care whether Xu Lu believed him or not.

Just as how he treated Lin Jiali, if she believed him, she was in for a treat. Otherwise, she’d just be throwing away a great opportunity.

Of course, this would depend on who Su Yang was helping as well. If Chu Xia did not believe him, he may not be as calm as he would be…

Sometimes, Su Yang could not understand his own thoughts.

Su Yang would become confused whenever his feelings were at play.

This was probably because he had never had so many outstanding girls by revolving around his life before.

It was as if Su Yang was in Paradise, the moment he thought he had feelings for a certain girl, another one would pop out and he would have feelings for the other as well. ‘I’m stumped… Who should I choose…”

The night passed uneventfully. Soon, the next day arrived.

The box office of “Fighting The Buddha” was still sub par, but it rose slightly. ‘530,000 yuan, if I include the 270,000 yuan from the first day, the movie has reached 800,000 yuan.’

The reason why 530,000 yuan was considered sub par was because it was only released for a few hours on the first day, whilst on the second day it was a full 24 hours.

Meanwhile, “Xu Qingling” continued to rise sky high, It managed to rake in another 1.83 million yuan which was unbelievable.

As a result, by Thursday, the box office for “Xu Qingling” was a total of 5.85 million yuan in 3 days while the box office for “Fighting The Buddha” was 800,000 yuan in 2 days. ‘Although the difference is extraordinary, at least we’ve managed to hit a fraction of our competitor’s…’

At 9:30 am, the A-share market opened. Xu Lu was already waiting in front of her computer to look at the stocks before her.

There was only one stock in her watchlist, the Zhang Bang Science and Technology that Su Yang mentioned.

When the market opened, the stock rose to +10.02%. At that time, Xu Lu’s heart was pounding and she wanted to buy it immediately.

However, her cousin’s advice kept ringing in her ears, so she eventually stopped herself.

In fact, it was right of her to do so. Within less than a minute, the price of the stock plummeted from +10% ,+8% ,+7%… all the way down to -1%.

‘It’s actually -1% in the end!

‘The stock that had risen to its limit yesterday is actually hitting the green today!’ Xu Lu was scared out of her wits and her hands grew cold.

She felt like she was walking on a steel wire which was incredibly dangerous!

‘Thank goodness I managed to rein in myself and had not bought it in the heat of the moment. Otherwise, I would be on the verge of jumping off the building. To lose 1,000 yuan within 10 minutes! It’s horrifying!’

Of course, Xu Lu was still new in the stock market, so she did not know that the starting price was the standard. Even if it was +10%, it was still the starting price… Xu Lu was happy at how “smart” she was as she stared at the stock.

In the end, she noticed that the stock’s behaviour was riding a roller coaster, rising and falling very violently. One moment, it would be +5% and would then become -3% shortly. All in all, it was a roller coaster ride. Xu Lu’s heart moved according to the rhythm of the stock. One moment, she wanted to put her money in, the next moment she would be glad that she did not.

She ended up just staring at it all morning…

Just as she was feeling confused, at 11: 28 pm, Zhang Bang Science and Technology suddenly paid a huge sum of money and wiped out all the shares on the market, ending up rising from -2% to +10.02%.

Then, the stock had been fixed at that limit.

Xu Lu blinked her eyes continuously…

‘What just happened?

‘Why is there a straight line on the screen?

‘Is the screen broken?’

She rubbed her eyes in a daze before screaming, “It’s at its daily limit?! Just like that? How did that happen?”
