This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 127: Chapter 104: Overpowering Smell, I Can’t Say More

It was worth her almost getting wrecked the other day.

"You’re just too weak, that’s all."

Chen Mo glanced at her and said flatly.

He wasn’t just making it up, either.

Last night, after watching *Love Apartment*, he and Xia Shiqing had "re-explored love."

He was certain that Xia Shiqing’s stamina and recovery were far better than Pan Kejia’s.

"I’m so jealous. She gets chauffeured to and from work, and even gets a sweet goodbye kiss."

Pan Kejia herself wasn’t sure if she was being sarcastic or if she was genuinely jealous.

Either way, it sounded strange to Chen Mo.

"You want a goodbye kiss, too?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, smiling as he looked at her.

"You’d dare? Here?"

A look of surprise crossed Pan Kejia’s lovely, coquettish face.

This was the company’s underground parking garage, and their colleagues were constantly coming and going.

Chen Mo had interned at Xihe before, so a lot of people recognized him.

If someone saw them, the consequences...

"It’ll be fine as long as we’re in the car."

Chen Mo grabbed her small hand, and they both got into the back seat of her "Big Mouse."

As soon as the door was closed, Chen Mo leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, which were coated in red lipstick.

"I can still taste her lipstick..."

After they kissed for a moment, Pan Kejia shot him a reproachful glance.

"Don’t like it? I have other flavors."

Chen Mo looked at her, deciding to give her a taste of something new.

...

A short while later.

A red 911 drove out of the Xihe underground parking garage.

Meanwhile, Pan Kejia let out a satisfied burp as she walked into the office.

"Morning, Kejia."

"Good morning, Kejia."

"Cutting it a bit close today, huh, Kejia?"

"..."

Many of her colleagues greeted her, but she could only respond with polite, close-lipped smiles and nods.

She didn’t dare open her mouth to speak.

’The taste is too strong. Best not to speak.’

...

「A few days flew by, and soon it was Friday.」

Xia Shiqing went home after staying at Chen Mo’s place for two days.

Chen Mo, in turn, spent a night at Pan Kejia’s.

And in his spare time, he played games with Wei Luyao.

’Yep, every day was a full one.’

BRRING~

Just then, Chen Mo received a call from Lu Mingzhe.

"Brother Lu, congratulations on Chaolu Technology landing that massive deal."

He didn’t know why Lu Mingzhe was calling, but he congratulated him anyway.

The deal Lu Mingzhe went abroad to negotiate had been closed, and it had even been officially announced.

"Haha, it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been in any state of mind to go abroad and negotiate."

Lu Mingzhe was in high spirits and laughed heartily.

"By the way, Chen Mo, we’re currently competing with Ruilin for a contract, but we’re clearly at a disadvantage."

Lu Mingzhe seemed to mention it very casually.

"Can Ruilin even compete with you for contracts right now?"

Chen Mo was surprised. Ruilin’s founder and chairman was in prison, its stock had plummeted into the gutter, and the entire company was in a state of panic.

And they could still compete with Lu Mingzhe’s Chaolu Technology Company in that state?

"They’re still a capable company. Besides, the contract we just landed is so massive that our hands are tied for a while, so we don’t actually have the upper hand on this new deal."

"Also, I saw online that Ruilin’s shareholders and board of directors are planning to kick Fang Rulin out."

"Of course, that’s just something I saw online. Can’t be taken as fact, so don’t you go believing it."

Lu Mingzhe spoke to Chen Mo in a tone as if they were just idly chatting.

Hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Chen Mo’s eyes.

He understood why Lu Mingzhe had made this call specifically to "casually" bring this up.

He was telling him that there was good news on the horizon for Ruilin Innovation.

If Chen Mo had shorted the stock, now was the perfect time to close his position.

"Right, the internet is full of rumors. I won’t believe any of it."

Chen Mo said with a knowing smile.

"Haha, good."

Lu Mingzhe laughed too. They were both smart men and understood each other perfectly.

After hanging up, Chen Mo sat down at his computer and looked at the stock market.

After plummeting for 10 straight trading days, Ruilin Innovation’s stock price had fallen from 26 yuan per share to its current 9.06 yuan per share.

It was even worse than the 10 yuan per share he had predicted.

He had already planned on buying back the Ruilin Innovation stock in the next day or two.

But now that Lu Mingzhe had called, he decided not to wait any longer.

He immediately bought 2,000 lots of Ruilin Innovation stock at 9.06 yuan per share.

Then, he returned those 2,000 lots to the brokerage to cover his short position.

The price difference was his profit.

From 26 yuan per share down to 9.06 yuan per share.

The profit per share was 16.94 yuan.

For 2,000 lots, that came out to 3,388,000 yuan.

After deducting stamp duty, commission fees, interest to the brokerage, and other miscellaneous costs...

...his final net profit was 3.37 million yuan!

’3.37 million yuan in just ten trading days.’

Chen Mo was very satisfied with this profit.

’No wonder so many people risk everything to get their hands on insider information.’

Chen Mo sighed to himself. The profits from insider information were simply too great.

It was an offer most people couldn’t refuse.

As long as you had the capital and an inside tip, you could make money hand over fist with even a basic understanding of trading.

He had made this trade without relying on his ’golden finger’ at all.

It was purely based on the insider tip from Lu Mingzhe.

This sort of thing was risky. It was only because Lu Mingzhe was grateful to him for saving Xuanxuan.

Otherwise, he would never have shared such information with anyone.

’Still, if Ruilin Innovation is about to go up, it seems like a good time to buy in.’

After some thought, Chen Mo decided to buy shares in Ruilin Innovation.

’Another 2,000 lots should do it.’

He didn’t buy too much. Although Ruilin Innovation was due for some good news...

...the damage caused by Fang Rulin was still too severe.

Plus, with the massive contract snatched up by Lu Mingzhe, Ruilin Innovation’s long-term decline was inevitable.

Even if the stock went up, it wouldn’t be by much.

Of course, it would still be a lot better than its current price.

Chen Mo directly bought 2,000 lots at 9.06 yuan per share.

He spent a total of 1,812,000 yuan.

When he had previously shorted 2,000 lots of Ruilin Innovation, he’d had to put down a 5.2 million yuan margin deposit.

But now, buying the same 2,000 lots only cost him 1.812 million.

All one could say was that in those short 10 trading days, Ruilin Innovation had taken a massive hit.

No wonder the shareholders and board members wanted to kick Fang Rulin to the curb.

If they didn’t distance themselves from him fast, they’d all be left with nothing.

They might even end up changing the name Ruilin Innovation altogether.

Such bad luck.

Chen Mo had pocketed his earnings in the morning, and by the afternoon, he saw the news about Ruilin Innovation.

"Massive Shakeup at Ruilin Innovation!"

"Board and Shareholders Unite to Oust Chairman Fang Rulin, New Chairman Elected!"

"Ruilin Innovation Issues Statement: New Chairman Appointed. Former Chairman’s Personal Conduct Does Not Reflect on the Company."

"Ruilin Innovation Announces Signing of Memorandum of Understanding with Multinational Enterprise, Initial Partnership Agreement Reached."

"Ruilin Innovation Shareholders, Board Members, and Senior Executives All Increase Share Holdings to Boost Market Confidence!"

"..."

Seeing these news updates about Ruilin Innovation, Chen Mo wasn’t the least bit surprised.

Lu Mingzhe had already told him that morning.

However, others in the industry didn’t know, and when they saw the news, a flurry of discussion erupted.

"Well, damn. Looks like Ruilin Innovation is coming back from the dead!"

"Not a chance. This is just a post-mortem twitch. At best, they’ll recover to a half-crippled state."

"The fact that they can still land contracts means they’re not completely out. It all depends on their management from here on out."

"Right. They can forget about regaining their former industry position. We’ll see if they can get back to being second only to Chaolu."

"Finally, I can recoup some of my losses! I couldn’t sell my Ruilin Innovation shares at all."

"Recoup? I’m buying more!"

"..."

With all the positive news coming out at once, market confidence surged.

And so, Ruilin Innovation, after plummeting for ten trading days, finally began to rally.

In fact, it shot up directly from its limit-down price for the day all the way to limit-up!

A classic floor-to-ceiling reversal.

Anyone who bought in at the limit-down price basically saw a 20% gain in a single day!

And Chen Mo was one of them.

He had bought in at 9.06 yuan per share. After a 20% surge, the price was now 10.87 yuan per share.

His profit had reached 362,000 yuan.

’Not bad at all,’ he thought. ’Did the universe hear I wanted to buy a house and decide to send all this money my way?’

Chen Mo looked at the profits in his account, an unstoppable smile spreading across his face.

BING~

"Modu Court: Your appointment to view the property has been confirmed... A group viewing will be held tomorrow morning."

Just then, Chen Mo’s phone received a text message.

It was from the Modu Court.

After reading the message, his eyes lit up with anticipation.

’I can finally go see the property?’

If all went smoothly, he too could own a large villa in Modu.

And he’d be getting it for a steal.
