My Life with Narration

Chapter 436 - 428: The Two Women’s Worries

Leveraging is a relatively risky method, but luckily his inner monologue helps him avoid such risks.

Simply put, you only need to remember one thing: although the market will show a significant upward trend within forty days, there will be declines during this period, and he only needs to avoid those phases where the drop exceeds ten percent.

Because his principal is only 10 million, but with ten times the leverage, it’s equivalent to trading stocks with one hundred million. However, his ability to bear risk hasn’t changed; it’s still 10 million, and due to the characteristics of forced liquidation, he will bear even greater risks.

If not leveraging, he could just buy a stock and wait to sell within the specified time, without worrying about the market fluctuations during that period.

Anyway, it’s just an increase in his workload.

He can completely accept this point because, after all, it’s like picking up money for him, so what’s there to be unsatisfied about? The mental exertion is insignificant compared to the income he acquires, so at this moment, he’s full of motivation.

This time, because the market is trending upwards, he doesn’t have to worry about being targeted like a mini-market or a small market; he can operate freely.

At noon, at the landlady’s house, three women, each with their unique charm, sat on the balcony table, drinking afternoon tea, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Shen Yi, needless to say, is the boss of a company and has hardly rested over the past few years. Finally, when things stabilized at the headquarters, she ran to develop a branch in Jiang City. Fortunately, there aren’t many issues at Jiang City branch, so she can squeeze out some time to rest.

Tang Nan, even more so, used to mix in the entertainment industry, filming movies, recording variety shows, attending galas, and commercial performances. Now, finally, wanting to withdraw, she has to hold the fort at the headquarters. Luckily, things are stable at the headquarters, or she might not be able to hold on.

As for the landlady, she’s quite idle, but years of bringing up children have left her somewhat fatigued. This time, since her kid is full of energy, she’s taken a vacation, sent the child back to her hometown, and decided to have some fun herself.

"Oh dear, you, the little wife, aren’t at home accompanying your little man, and you actually have time to hang out with us two lonely souls. What’s up? Last night was not harmonious?" Tang Nan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Yi gave her a glare: "It’s none of your business. What, are you envious? If so, go find someone. There are so many handsome guys in your entertainment circle, aren’t you afraid of not finding a partner?"

"Exactly, hurry and find one, have kids early, why care about others’ matters? Besides, Su is only in his early twenties, and it’s his prime time. Shen Yi still has long happy days ahead of her!" The landlady covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Shen Yi:...

Tang Nan:...

No wonder she’s called the Racer Widow; starting off at fifth gear with one sentence is just unstoppable!

"Sister Wen, is your ’prime time’ term proper?" Tang Nan asked.

Wen Nanqing’s lips curved upwards: "Is there anything proper about this matter? I’ve never seen anyone doing it while chanting scriptures. Aren’t you grown up? Stop pretending to be some innocent girl in front of me!"

In response, Tang Nan pouted; she shouldn’t have asked.

"I want to find one too, but among the reliable ones in the entertainment circle, you guys outside the circle know it’s chaotic in the entertainment industry, don’t we know? Anyway, I plan to marry someone outside the circle in the future," Tang Nan said with an embarrassed tone, full of helplessness.

No matter the gender, who doesn’t yearn for sweet love? It’s not like she hasn’t dated boyfriends, but the breakups have always ended unpleasantly.

In the past, among the three, one was divorced, one was single from birth, and she’d occasionally date, not feeling much about it, even thinking she was doing quite well. But ever since Shen Yi and Su Qing confirmed their relationship, seeing them glued to each other gnawed her back molars to the point of shattering.

Not only did the old cow snatch the young grass, but the young boy has a great figure and appearance. Most importantly, not only did he not spend money, but he even brought money into the household, instantly adding a case of green-eyed envy.

"What’s that? Do you also want to find a younger man? Just in time, Su Qing’s sister is in college; I’ll ask her to introduce you to a young one. How about that?" Shen Yi said with a smile.

These days, regardless of gender, as long as you have money, finding a younger one is a piece of cake, as long as you’re willing to spend money.

"Get lost, finding a young one means I’d have to spend money on him!" Tang Nan rolled her eyes and said angrily.

To this, Shen Yi quickly said: "Ha, turns out you want to get it for free!"

"If you can get it for free, why can’t I? What’s wrong with me? I’m a current idol!"

"Idol, my ass. Besides, how do you know I didn’t spend money?"

"You spent money? How much did you spend?" Tang Nan was somewhat surprised. She didn’t know there was a money-spending aspect to it?

"800!"

Tang Nan: "Thousand?"

Shen Yi: "Bucks!"

Tang Nan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"800 bucks, and you’re talking crap. No, didn’t you just lend out 6 million yesterday!"

"That was a loan, not spending, don’t you understand!"

Watching the two bickering, the landlady giggled to the side, then raised her hand: "Well, let me testify. Su Qing was indeed brought back by Shen Yi for 800 bucks, after a car accident, where she found the drunk Su Qing and his friend, who crashed into her!"

Tang Nan:...

bucks, this is even worse than saying she didn’t spend money, making her feel even more frustrated.

Seeing Tang Nan’s stuffy state, the two couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Isn’t it all about finding some fun among friends?

"By the way, where’s Su Qing? Surely he hasn’t really started trading stocks?" the landlady asked after her laughter subsided.

Though they were aware that Su Qing made money from stocks when Shen Yi borrowed money yesterday, a young person in their twenties borrowing such a large sum to trade stocks made the landlady feel Su Qing was being a bit rash. Even though she didn’t think the money was a lot, 6 million isn’t a small amount, especially when it’s borrowed.

She felt Su Qing might be feeling overly confident due to his previous successful trades.

Many people have made a fortune from stocks, but countless others have gone bankrupt. Often, greed takes hold, and it becomes hard to stop, fearing the day they become blinded by losses.

Shen Yi nodded: "When I left, he was already in front of the computer watching the market!"

Upon hearing this, the landlady and Tang Nan exchanged a glance, and finally, the landlady spoke up: "Shen Yi, I mean no offense, I just think trading stocks is a bit... precarious. Su Qing is young, and young people are full of energy, especially with someone as outstanding as you, he’d naturally feel the pressure. But stock trading requires caution. I understand your feelings, thinking that you are several years older than him and capable of backing him up, but you still need to advise him when necessary, do you get what I mean?"

Wen Nanqing’s advice stemmed from good intentions. After interacting for some time, she could see Su Qing’s character—a good guy, well-matched with Shen Yi. It’s not always necessary for the man to be stronger and the woman to be weaker for a relationship to work; the reverse is just fine too, as long as the relationship is strong. But nurturing a young person with not much ability to an extent where he has a fearless attitude isn’t wise. After all, it’s a million in question, and a bit of reverence is essential in life.

She didn’t count herself in this because her money is from her parents. Apart from people like her, both Shen Yi and Tang Nan have come to their current stature through effort, gradually earning their worth step by step. Even now, she wouldn’t invest recklessly or treat money carelessly by casually trading stocks or gambling.

Financial management, with carelessness, can lead to being left penniless—it’s the tearful history of many.

"I agree with Sister Wen, if Su Qing wants to do something, any one of us can lend a hand, or you helping him would suffice. If he doesn’t have big ambitions, the money you have is enough for both of you to live comfortably for a lifetime. There’s no need for this, I’ve noticed you’ve caught a case of the romance brain lately, don’t lose your head," Tang Nan advised, fearing Su Qing might borrow again after losing this time, plunging into an endless cycle. In that scenario, no matter how much wealth, it wouldn’t suffice.

In numerous wealthy families, educating the next generation might not necessarily be about expecting them to be outstanding—so long as they don’t break laws, gamble, or become arrogant, it’s completely adequate.

There’s nothing wrong with being average. But the fear lies in not recognizing one’s limitations, wrongly assuming they are a chosen one, and that leads to disaster.

In their view, Su Qing seemed to be showing some of these symptoms now, though understandable due to the unexplainable nature of his monologue, which they couldn’t delve into. Solely based on his actions, he did seem a bit arrogant.

This notion occurred to both Tang Nan and Wen Nanqing yesterday, but with Su Qing’s presence and them being outsiders, they hesitated to speak up, but now felt it was an appropriate time for a reminder.

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded: "Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. Giving him this money is for him to try it out. If he makes a profit, great. If not, then I have a reason to advise him later, so he can see his capabilities clearly."

Don’t worry, I’m just in love, not brainwashed!"

She well understood the risks of Su Qing’s actions, but she had the capital to let her partner try things out and make mistakes. The principal of 7 million, compared to the losses Su Qing previously helped her avoid, was worth giving away, else she wouldn’t sleep well!

Hearing this, the two shook their heads.

"I think you’ve been brainwashed!"

Shen Yi:...
