Chapter 18 I really don't want to show off.
Chapter 18 I really don't want to show off.
Gong Yu's pretentious act had a very good effect.
2 yuan is a huge sum of money for a high school student!
Whether they make 2 or lose 2, it's a big deal for them.
But when Gong Yu said it, it sounded so nonchalant, as if it were a trivial matter, and he wouldn't even blink an eye at losing 2 yuan.
Some classmates said that Brother Yu is awesome, that he even knows such advanced things as stock trading.
Others say they heard a relative jumped off a building, losing hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. They say everyone's losing money these days, so losing only 2 yuan is pretty impressive.
They also asked Gong Yu to teach them some investment techniques.
Gong Yu found the surprised looks from his classmates and the discussions particularly enjoyable.
Actually, his mother didn't even have a stock account; she just said it to show off because she heard that her parents lost some money in the stock market.
Fatty Sun was playing Temple Run on Lin Ran's phone, feeling quite annoyed.
What the hell is there to brag about? My stocks actually made money thanks to Ran Ge!
However, seeing that Lin Ran still had no intention of showing off, he could only suppress his desire to perform in front of others and continue to play on his phone with his head down, occasionally having a couple of sips of beer with Lin Ran.
Lin Ran didn't care about Gong Yu's showing off. In his eyes, who was approaching thirty, they were just a bunch of kids.
As long as they don't come up to him like Ye Shixuan and Jiang Qianqian and annoy him, he's willing to chat with them for a bit, making Lin Ran feel like he's still young.
Gong Yu noticed that Ye Shixuan was also looking at him, and his vanity was immediately satisfied.
"Shixuan, which university are you planning to go to?"
Ye Shixuan's eyes flickered, and she thought of what Lin Ran had said earlier, which made her feel angry again.
That guy is still deliberately trying to provoke me. Men are all jealous. I don't believe that Lin Ran won't be angry or jealous if I get close to Gong Yu!
Ye Shixuan then gave Gong Yu a flirtatious look and asked, "I don't know yet. Which school do you want to go to?"
Gong Yu immediately became excited!
What does this mean? Does it mean they want to go to the same university as me?
She suddenly remembered that Ye Shixuan only scored a little over 400 points, which was a grade lower than hers. She was qualified to attend some top-tier universities, but Ye Shixuan could only attend second-tier universities.
But he had liked Ye Shixuan for two or three years. If he could really be with Ye Shixuan, he wouldn't mind going to a slightly less prestigious school!
"Shih-hsuan, how about you choose? Any major in finance is fine, since I need to study investment and manage the family business in the future."
Although his family only owns one chain of restaurants and has assets of less than 1000 million, he talks about it as if he has hundreds of billions in assets.
"Well, I haven't decided yet, we'll see when the time comes. But I hope to spend more time with the person I like to nurture our relationship; I don't really like long-distance relationships," Ye Shixuan said.
Gong Yu was overjoyed!
This is practically a suggestion to himself that as long as he goes to the same school as Ye Shixuan, they can be together!
In this life, isn't the purpose of studying, taking exams, and going to university to start a family and build a career? If you can have such a beautiful girlfriend, what does it matter if her school is a little less prestigious?
With a clear mind, Gong Yu immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Shixuan, don't worry, just say the word, and I'll go wherever you go!"
Ye Shixuan's displeasure caused by Lin Ran had dissipated considerably. She loved being fawned over by boys and watching them fawn over her.
Although Gong Yu is not as handsome as Lin Ran, he is more docile and his family is richer, so he is a decent choice as a backup option.
"Lin Ran, let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness. Shi Xuan is about to be snatched away by Gong Yu! Who told you to be so incompetent yet so stubborn? She's so young and she's already learning how to invest. And you? You're still playing games with Fatty Sun in the internet cafe every day!"
Let me tell you, girls all like mature guys. Guys who know about finance are the most attractive. I suggest you try to get to know more people like that. I often watch my dad trade stocks, and I know a lot about it. This will only push you further away from Shixuan!
Jiang Qianqian wrinkled her nose and said proudly.
She's still angry; Lin Ran actually spoke to her like that during the day!
In the past, Lin Ran would bring Ye Shixuan milk tea every day in order to please her.
To be honest, Jiang Qianqian thought Lin Ran was quite handsome, and sometimes she even felt a little flutter in her heart. She thought that if Ye Shixuan kept Lin Ran hanging, she could also make a move and win him over.
However, she always felt that something was missing. Seeing Lin Ran serving Ye Shixuan so attentively, she always felt that this man was really uncharming. What's the use of being handsome?
But now she inexplicably wanted to talk to Lin Ran, unable to suppress the urge!
He was clearly very angry and thought Lin Ran was awful, but he couldn't help wanting to chat with him, so he sat relatively close to Lin Ran, separated by a fat man named Sun.
Lin Ran was too lazy to pay any attention to Jiang Qianqian. She didn't know why Jiang Qianqian would come over so shamelessly after she had said such harsh words to her during the day.
He had no interest in constantly berating a girl.
Fatty Sun was playing Temple Run and tapping the screen when a notification popped up. He accidentally tapped the notification, which redirected him to a stock trading app.
"Holy crap! I was about to break the record, why did this pop-up ad suddenly appear!"
If it weren't for Lin Ran's phone, Fatty Sun would have wanted to smash it on the table a few times.
But as soon as the pop-up window appeared, Jiang Qianqian exclaimed, "Wow, Fatty Sun, you trade stocks too! It's hit the daily limit? Three consecutive daily limits! What kind of stock did you pick?!"
Jiang Qianqian exclaimed in utter shock.
Everyone knows that green is the norm now, and it's already considered good if it's red, let alone a stock hitting the daily limit.
And it's three consecutive limit-up days?
Jiang Qianqian's shouts attracted the attention of many students.
"You have approximately 40 in this account right now?!"
After seeing the amount of money in the account, Jiang Qianqian was even more shocked!
Gong Yu just now managed to brag about losing 2 yuan.
And now? Based on the gains of three consecutive limit-up days, it's clear that the profit over the last three days is approximately 100,000!
Many students gathered around, looking at the account interface with great surprise.
Sun Pangzi's frustration at not being able to show off was completely released at this moment, and he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven!
"Isn't this Lin Ran's phone?"
Suddenly someone spoke.
