My Life with Narration

Chapter 501 - 492: What Are You Barking About?

The next day, Tianchen Technology’s stock had already risen by four dollars. With his recommendation and the online buzz, this stock was truly standing out in a field of poor performers.

While other stocks were falling, this one not only didn’t drop but continued to climb. Many retail investors who trusted his advice to buy the stock were grinning from ear to ear.

But what they didn’t know was that the reason they could still smile was mainly due to the stock withdrawal operations conducted by Wen Nanqing and others.

If those large funds hadn’t started to withdraw, the stock price would have been pushed even higher. But those institutions would have dumped their shares anytime, leaving these retail investors to be harvested like leeks again.

The reason they hadn’t sold off was that, as Shen Yi and other major players began to pull out, those institutions hadn’t made profits yet. They could only grit their teeth to maintain the stock price, increase investment, and buy up the sold shares.

Su Qing was using such operations to indirectly control the balance of this stock.

They couldn’t all pull out at once because a large funding gap would alert those financial institutions that these major players had received some wind of danger, causing them to close the net early.

He was now using this method to restore Tianchen Technology’s stock to the state it was in before Tang Nan and other major players entered, which would stabilize the stock price.

As for what happens next and how things develop, that’s not his concern. Although these matters have nothing to do with him, it’s always better to be cautious and not give anyone a handle to grasp.

The next day, at the company.

"Wow, Brother Wang, you’re really something now. You actually have so many people working under you!" Su Qing entered the publicity department to find that the once-empty office was completely transformed with all the necessary desks and even five young people working diligently at their computers.

"What do you mean ’Brother’? President Su, just call me Little Wang, hehe!"

Seeing him come in, Old Wang couldn’t help but laugh, as if he’d seen a god of wealth, and quickly greeted him.

Not to mention, under his girlfriend Feng Yan’s training, he was now quite attentive to social niceties, but of course, only towards him and Da Huang.

After all, ever since some time ago when he came out of Shen Yi’s office and spat, Feng Yan had guessed that their relationship was unusual. By now, she was almost certain they were dating.

In that case, how could Feng Yan not give her boyfriend some private advice? She couldn’t just let him cluelessly offend people, right?

She also instructed him to watch his mouth and not babble everything out.

Hearing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes. He used to call him Brother Wang, and the other party would insist on being called Old Wang. Now, Old Wang didn’t even use his name and asked to be called Little Wang. It was the most obvious brown-nosing he’d ever seen.

Seeing him not respond, Old Wang continued, "You’re not the same as before. Who would’ve thought you’d sneak your way to the top of life? I thought I was impressive for getting Little Yan, but you’ve outdone us all!"

As he spoke, Old Wang winked at him, showing a cheeky, wannabe-punchable face.

Knowing he couldn’t hide it from this old lamp, he didn’t try to cover it up. In fact, it wasn’t so much hiding from him as it was Feng Yan, the shrewd one, who had him pegged. Luckily, they knew to keep it to themselves, so there was no need to worry.

"Looks like Sister Feng’s been giving you plenty of advice!"

"Of course, as for Da Huang, rest assured. Even if I just get the leftovers, it’s fine, but no kidding—Da Huang’s been so busy lately that it’s getting moody."

"In that case, take on less work. We can’t rely on it to make money, right?"

"You think everyone’s as talented as you, the Great Stock God? I’m counting on Da Huang for a commission. But thanks to you, me and Sister Feng earned a little extra!"

Hearing this, Su Qing had a bad feeling creeping up, "Wait, you don’t mean..."

"Ta-da! Look, Tianchen Technology. Both Sister Feng and I invested fifty thousand each, and we’ve already made almost twenty thousand in just a few days. It’s amazing! There’s more money than we can spend. If I wasn’t worried about losing her savings, I would’ve bet everything!"

Admittedly, they did have some funds. After all, they’d been working in the capital for several years, so it was expected they’d have savings.

Seeing this, he hurriedly pulled Old Wang to a corner outside and whispered for a while until he finally got him to withdraw the money.

"My God, if you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have known there was so much intrigue in all this!" Old Wang said, visibly relieved.

"In the future, don’t randomly buy those things. Just earn your money honestly. Your income isn’t low, and I’m waiting to attend your wedding with Sister Feng. Any news yet?"

Hearing this, Old Wang nodded, "This year’s Spring Festival, I’m taking her to my hometown. I’m not young anymore, so if everything goes as planned, probably next year."

"Then that’s settled."

As the two talked, a young man with glasses came over, "Brother Wang, the video is ready. Do you want to come over and check it out?"

"Just send it to my phone."

"Got it!"

Soon, Old Wang received a video of Da Huang doing some stylish points, alongside a model dressed in black stockings.

"So, how is it? Not bad, right?" Old Wang asked.

He glanced over and found it indeed impressive. The video editing, music, and rhythm timing were almost perfect.

"Not bad. Is this your handiwork?"

"Of course, all of Da Huang’s videos are handled by me now. I just have my team tweak the colors and lighting. Sent it to you, so make sure to update. No worries, I’ve got it covered!"

He didn’t decline Old Wang’s offer. Life is all about reciprocity, after all. Da Huang provided Old Wang with a nice commission, and Old Wang helped edit the videos for updates. It’s a win-win collaboration for them.

Soon, the video was uploaded, and the comments section was quickly flooded with people.

"Bro, bro, your dear sister is here!"

Unexpectedly, the first comment was actually from Su He’s account.

"Gotcha!"

"Yo, isn’t this the woman who can’t tell front from back?"

"It really is! I thought being flat was the limit, but she managed to make me confused about the front and back of a woman, awesome!"

Ever since a few days ago, when Su He’s livestream went viral, it was as if she had found the secret to gaining traffic. She became the ultimate "flat chest" sensation online and even created a few short videos around this theme, which were well-received.

But more people came to discuss stocks, especially since Tianchen Technology’s stock has been soaring recently, gaining a lot of attention.

"Stock God is amazing, already made a small profit of 20k!"

"Not much capital, made 400, watching you all make money is making me grit my teeth."

"Must be a student, a little profit is good enough!"

"Even given the opportunity, you couldn’t take it."

"Stock God, is it still a good time to enter the market now?"

"Come on, sure profit!"

Su Qing didn’t even bother to read those comments. After chatting with Old Wang for a while, he got the video and returned to Shen Yi’s office, nodding to Wolong and Fengchu on the way.

"Sorry, President Hu, regarding what you mentioned yesterday, he considered it and asked me to apologize to you. Because this matter has become a big deal, he doesn’t plan to recommend stocks anymore."

As soon as he came in, he heard Shen Yi on the phone with someone. As expected, she was declining the person from the previous day.

Seeing him come in, Shen Yi instinctively turned on the speakerphone on her phone.

It wasn’t that she wanted him to listen; it was just an instinctive action when speaking to another man in front of her boyfriend.

Though this was a small detail, Su Qing had to admit he appreciated it. Love isn’t so noble; it’s a simple, pure desire for possession.

Without even the desire for possession, what’s the point of talking about love? Perhaps love exists, but that kind of love is too noble. They haven’t reached that level; they’re both cautious about this relationship.

"Miss Shen, is Mr. Su unhappy with our terms? Are there any terms we can negotiate on? We..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yi interrupted, "That’s not the case, President Hu. It’s just that he doesn’t want to recommend stocks for now. Please understand."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liangcai took a deep breath and spoke again, "If that’s the case, I wonder if Miss Shen could give me Mr. Su’s contact details. I’d like to reach out to him personally. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Shen Yi instinctively glanced at him.

To this, Su Qing shook his head. He hated dealing with people who were all about deception and schemes, it was too exhausting. Of course, it also had to do with his personality. Simply put, he’s not someone who could do business.

"This... I’m afraid it’s inconvenient. He rejected it quite bluntly yesterday. From my side..."

Actually, by this point, she had clearly expressed her refusal. Any normal person would know not to pursue further.

But maybe the stakes were too high, and Hu Liangcai became a bit anxious.

"Miss Shen, it’s just a contact detail, isn’t it unnecessary to be so harsh? Besides, we’re all in the same circle. Isn’t it a bit too disrespectful? Maybe there’s still a chance for us to cooperate in the future, don’t you think?"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Yi’s expression changed, and she said seriously, "From what President Hu is saying, if I don’t give you the contact details, it’s my fault?"

"Miss Shen, doing business isn’t like that, I..."

"Are you telling me how to do my job?"

Hu Liangcai: ???

"That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to say we’re all in the internet circle. I just want Mr. Su’s contact. I envy you for being able to do it; we want to do it too. I don’t intend to cause any unpleasantness with you, Miss Shen," Hu Liangcai’s temper flared too.

After all, he was a deputy general manager of a company, equivalent to the second-in-command. Being rebuked like this, it’s only natural to have some temper, right?

But he didn’t expect Shen Yi’s attitude regarding matters about Su Qing to be so determined. She directly shot back with:

"Are you threatening me?"

With this comment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

On the other side, Hu Liangcai was stunned. Miss, it’s just a contact detail, do you have to explode like a powder keg at the slightest provocation?

In his view, someone who could grow a company to this size isn’t necessarily highly capable but surely a well-rounded individual. Why does it feel like facing a post-2000 generation?

But since Shen Yi had already spoken to this extent, he couldn’t possibly apologize. After all, everyone has their status. In his eyes, Shen Yi wasn’t an impressive character; they’re on equal footing, no need to fear offending each other. Besides, in terms of the company’s scale, they have an edge.

"If that’s how Miss Shen understands it, then so be it. Our Huayue does have that level of capability. At worst, we can compete and see who’s more capable!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi, naturally hot-tempered, wouldn’t tolerate this. Just as she was about to retort, Su Qing took the phone and said:

"What the hell are you barking about?"
