This Bad Luck is Awesome!
Chapter 50: Seriously Upping the Intensity for Xia ShiqingChapter 50: Chapter 50: Seriously Upping the Intensity for Xia Shiqing
He glanced at it. The people commenting on his Friends Circle post were a mixed bag.
Most were his classmates from high school and college.
It was obvious they were surprised that Chen Mo could afford a 911.
After all, they used to be classmates, regardless of how close they were.
They still had a basic understanding of each other’s situations.
It was precisely because they knew Chen Mo’s situation that they were so shocked to see the red sports car on his Friends Circle.
’How long has it been since graduation? Chen Mo’s already driving a 911.’
"Why are people from Xihe calling me the son of a tycoon?"
Chen Mo noticed comments from a few former colleagues and was slightly taken aback.
’If I were really the son of a tycoon, why would I have interned at Xihe in the first place?’
’Wouldn’t it have been better to just go back and take over the family business?’
’And it seems like the people at Xihe know about my relationship with Xia Shiqing?’
*DING~*
"Holy shit! Old Mo, didn’t you say you were going to buy a Taycan? How’d you end up with a 911?"
After seeing the Friends Circle post, Old Zhang didn’t comment. He sent Chen Mo a direct message on WeChat.
He remembered Chen Mo saying he planned to buy a Taycan last time they were out for skewers and drinks.
"There was a small hiccup along the way, but then I won the lottery for a spot, so I just bought the 911."
Chen Mo smiled and typed out a simple explanation for him.
"Godfather, can you let me have a go in it?"
Old Zhang called him "father" again, sending the message with puppy-dog eyes.
Wasn’t the 911 his "white moonlight" too?
"How could a father let his son suffer?"
Chen Mo displayed the magnanimity of a father.
"Godfather, please accept this son’s bow!"
Just then, Old Zhang remembered something and immediately brought it up. "Right, Godfather, can we start planning the class reunion now?"
Chen Mo had told him not to rush it before, but now that he was driving a 911, he had enough clout, right?
"You can find a chance to bring it up. Just don’t be too obvious about it."
Chen Mo thought for a moment before sending the message.
"I get you."
Old Zhang understood immediately.
If you were too obvious when showing off in front of everyone, it would feel too scripted.
It would lose its flavor.
A more natural approach would have a better effect.
After that, some other classmates from college and high school also sent him messages.
There were both male and female classmates.
The guys were mostly hyping him up, asking where he was working now and so on.
The girls, however, were much more interesting.
There were those like Li Ran who congratulated him, and others who made passive-aggressive digs at his ex-girlfriend.
There were also those who were, both overtly and subtly, trying to get on his good side, clearly interested in him.
"So this is the power of money."
Seeing these private messages, Chen Mo couldn’t help but sigh with a laugh.
He noticed the red notification bubble on his contacts list kept growing; people were adding him as a friend on WeChat.
He clicked in and saw from their intro messages that they were mostly classmates from college and high school.
Chen Mo accepted them all without refusal.
’We were classmates, after all. Just adding each other on WeChat is perfectly normal.’
As for that whole "yesterday you ignored me, today I’m out of your league" trope...
...he didn’t really think that way.
’Everyone’s an adult. When you haven’t accomplished anything, who the hell is going to pay you any mind?’
Even Chen Mo himself didn’t usually contact classmates he wasn’t close with.
A situation like this couldn’t be more normal.
His finger tapped "Accept" again and again.
At first, he’d glance at their intro messages, but eventually, he couldn’t be bothered and just accepted them all directly.
What he didn’t know was that in the process, he had also accepted the friend request sent earlier by Pan Kejia.
After he accepted everyone’s friend requests, a new round of congratulations and compliments began.
After Chen Mo sent out a round of simple replies, his phone finally quieted down.
*DING~*
He had just put his phone down when another WeChat message came in.
"Want to go out for dinner tonight? To celebrate you getting a car."
It was Xia Shiqing, asking him to dinner.
"OK, send me the address. I’ll drive over to pick you up in a bit."
Chen Mo replied instantly, recalling the wonderful taste of their kiss downstairs the previous night.
He didn’t have a car before, so Xia Shiqing had always been the one to drive.
Now that he was driving a 911, why would he still ride in that "wicked big mouse"?
"Okay, looks like I’ll be the first girl to ride in your passenger seat."
"It’s all yours."
Chen Mo smiled as he read her message and replied.
After chatting for a while.
Chen Mo sat in his gaming room, one monitor showing a match, the other showing stocks.
Previously, he had bought 10 stocks at once, used to experiment with the ’crash-for-cash’ activation of his constitution.
Later, Ruisheng Pharmaceutical activated the constitution, allowing him to make a lot of money from that stock.
As a result, he hadn’t paid much attention to the other nine stocks.
But when he checked today, he discovered something wasn’t right.
He noticed that ever since the "ding" from Ruisheng Pharmaceutical that day...
...the remaining nine stocks had all started to rise!
Although the gains for each stock weren’t huge—maybe around 2%, 3%, or 4% a day...
...they were rising *every single day*!
It was a sea of green every day; they hadn’t been red for even one day.
Keep in mind, when he bought these stocks, he had specifically chosen them from a pool of poorly performing companies.
If one or two of the stocks had risen, that would have been one thing.
But for all nine to be rising was not normal.
’Could it be that because buying Ruisheng Pharmaceutical counted as bad luck, my good luck attribute caused the other nine stocks to rise?’
Chen Mo’s eyes filled with contemplation. He habitually stroked his chin, mulling it over.
He had never considered this possibility before.
But looking at the sea of green data on his monitor, he knew this was no coincidence.
’Looks like I’ve discovered another wonderful use for my golden finger.’
A smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.
From now on, besides making a fortune on the one unlucky stock...
...he could also make money from the rest.
Even if it wasn’t as much as the one that "dinged," if he had a large principal and used leverage...
...the total would still be substantial.
He sat in his chair, lost in thought for a moment, planning his next move with his golden finger.
...
「Soon, it was evening.」
Chen Mo drove to the foot of Xia Shiqing’s apartment building.
He parked on the side of the road with his hazard lights on, attracting a lot of attention.
However, no one was checking his license plate and then looking down at a license plate on their phone.
After all, what kind of person uses a 911 for ride-hailing?
Two and a half minutes later, Xia Shiqing opened the car door and sat down in the passenger seat.
Seeing Xia Shiqing get into the car, many onlookers couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.
No wonder they say the women in the passenger seats of supercars never disappoint.
Today, they had seen it with their own eyes. She was indeed top-tier!
*CLICK~*
Xia Shiqing gently closed the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Mo turned to look her up and down, his eyes betraying his astonishment.
She wore a white dress that made her look ethereal.
Paired with her delicate face, which she had carefully made up with lipstick, she was incredibly attractive.
Especially sitting in the passenger seat, her long, fair, and straight legs were on full display right before his eyes, completely captivating.
"Is that the same lipstick you wore yesterday? I’ve sort of forgotten the taste. Let me try it again."
Before she could even fasten her seatbelt, Chen Mo grabbed her slender hand and pulled her delicate, beautiful face close.
They could feel each other’s hot breath, and the atmosphere in the car instantly became charged.
Xia Shiqing seemed to know what was about to happen. After blinking her clear eyes, she slowly closed them.
She looked calm, but her slightly trembling, upturned eyelashes revealed that she wasn’t as composed as she appeared.
Chen Mo noticed this. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly before he lowered his head and kissed her.
Last night’s kiss was simple.
He hadn’t been too intense with Xia Shiqing.
This time, however, Chen Mo planned to dial up the intensity a bit.
To give this rookie a bit of a shock to her senses.
