This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 95: Chapter 87: Pay the Tax, and Don’t Relax

"Doesn’t the investment department do background checks? What the hell is this?"

"Fuck, I just upped my position at a high price today, and now it’s all wiped out."

"I put in a sell order at the limit-down price, and no one’s buying. Fuck!"

"Son of a bitch Jiang Qifeng! I only bought more because I listened to him!"

"Fucking Hanchen Capital, they were the ones making the most noise."

"The stock price has plummeted. My losses are brutal!"

’How would you know that we at Xihe already sold off our entire position yesterday? Not only did we avoid losing a single cent, we actually made a profit?’

"Goddess Xia is a badass! I’d like to see if Jiang Qifeng still has the fucking nerve to come out and bark."

"The two beauties at Xihe aren’t just gorgeous; their judgment is also exceptionally sharp."

"Heh, you really think it’s that simple? From what I know, Goddess Xia just got a boyfriend a while ago, and then..."

"Then what about Pan Kejia?"

"Who knows? This is the finance world. There’s no tradition of one-on-one relationships..."

Many people were discussing this matter in their group chats. The news was just too sudden.

There was no warning at all.

Ai Yikun’s scandal meant Hongyin Jingtong had basically imploded on the spot.

They had bought Hongyin Jingtong’s stock and were now facing devastating losses.

The moment the news broke, they immediately wanted to sell, but there were simply no buyers!

Now they were stuck holding the bag.

They lost 20% today alone.

And it went without saying what would happen next—it would absolutely plummet day after day.

This trade was a catastrophic loss.

Naturally, public opinion once again swung to one side.

Before, it had favored Jiang Qifeng, but now it had swung completely to Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia.

Hanchen Capital.

SLAM! CRASH!

The sound of a table being slammed and a cup being thrown came from Jiang Qifeng’s office again.

Clearly, Jiang Qifeng had flown into another rage, his composure completely shattered.

He had also seen the news and was rendered speechless by it.

Just this morning, he had been speaking eloquently, using Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia as a cautionary tale.

But now that this news was out, he himself had become the cautionary tale.

Jiang Qifeng didn’t even have to think to know that he had now become an absolute joke within the industry.

This time, his reputation was utterly ruined.

The people outside exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.

They had spent the morning sucking up to Jiang Qifeng, and now it seemed it was all for nothing.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

"President Jiang, the chairman wants you in his office."

Just then, the chairman’s secretary knocked on the door of Jiang Qifeng’s office.

"I know."

Jiang Qifeng opened the door and followed the secretary, his expression incredibly grim.

Seeing Jiang Qifeng leave, everyone exchanged a few glances, a single thought forming in their minds.

’This time, it wasn’t a matter of dropping the "Vice" from his Vice President title—he was probably going to lose the title altogether.’

A simple trading loss wouldn’t have led to this. After all, who can guarantee that every investment will be profitable?

But Jiang Qifeng had hyped up this matter so much. If he had won, it would have been fine.

But now that he’d lost, not only had Jiang Qifeng himself become a joke, he had also dragged Hanchen’s reputation through the mud.

Who knows how many people were cursing them out now.

The chairman had probably heard about it too and had specifically summoned Jiang Qifeng to his office.

Best case scenario, he’d get a lecture.

Worst case, it wasn’t impossible that his Vice President position would be stripped from him.

Compared to the heavy atmosphere at other firms, the mood at Xihe was much more relaxed.

The chairman personally came to the proprietary trading department to lavish praise on Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia for their sharp insight and the courage to act on it.

Although this move didn’t make the company money, it did prevent a massive loss.

In a way, that was as good as making the company money.

Most importantly, it had made the company famous, which pleased the chairman even more than making a profit.

Naturally, a hefty bonus was definitely in the cards.

And so, in this highly watched confrontation in the financial world, a clear winner and loser had emerged.

Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia rose to fame in the financial world, using Jiang Qifeng as their stepping stone.

Jiang Qifeng, on the other hand, served as the backdrop, having suffered a crushing defeat.

DING~

"Daddy, you’re a god! Mwah mwah~"

As Chen Mo was enjoying the drama at home, Pan Kejia sent him a WeChat message.

It was clear that Pan Kejia was very excited and thrilled.

She had even called him "Daddy."

"All in a day’s work."

A slight smile touched the corners of Chen Mo’s lips as he typed out a reply.

’As expected. Just give a woman an opportunity to make money, and no matter how headstrong she is, she’ll become completely obedient in the end.’

’Case in point, she’s already calling me Daddy.’

"The usual place tonight. We can do anything you want. You can drive as fast as you want!"

Pan Kejia quickly sent an invitation to hit the highway together tonight.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask Chen Mo to meet at the usual place.

"Alright."

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.

’She’s basically letting me unlock all the driving modes.’

’Too bad there aren’t 1.68 billion driving modes.’

The excitement on Pan Kejia’s lovely, coquettish face was impossible to hide as she sat at her desk.

Following Chen Mo’s advice this time had not only made her famous in the financial world, but she had also been personally praised by the chairman.

She now had results and a reputation.

With a little help from her own father, she would soon be able to take a supervisor position.

And from there, her path to promotion would be smooth sailing.

This was why she had taken the initiative to call him Daddy and invite Chen Mo to unlock all his driving modes on her.

Chen Mo’s help this time had just been too immense!

"Congratulations, Kejia!"

"Kejia, you’re going to be famous after this."

"So you knew about Ai Yikun in advance..."

"Kejia, don’t forget us when you’re rich and famous!"

Her colleagues, who had just been giving her strange looks moments ago, now immediately changed their tune and swarmed over to congratulate her.

Pan Kejia had been praised by the chairman by name, and on top of that, her father was a partner at the firm. Her continued rise was now a certainty.

"Thank you, everyone."

The smile never left Pan Kejia’s beautiful, charming face.

Even though everyone had been giving her strange looks earlier, waiting to see her become a laughingstock.

But now they had all instantly changed their tune, fawning over her with congratulations.

This feeling gave her a taste of the power of status.

Nearby, Zheng Xiaoxiao watched Pan Kejia being surrounded by the crowd, a thoughtful look passing through her eyes.

’When Pan Kejia had asked me for Chen Mo’s contact information, I guessed that she was up to something.’

’Later, Chen Mo even messaged me specifically to ask about Pan Kejia, which meant Pan Kejia had indeed found him.’

’Yesterday, when Pan Kejia and Xia Shiqing proposed liquidating their Hongyin Jingtong stock, I grew a little suspicious.’

’Now that the news about Ai Yikun is out, I’m sure of it: Pan Kejia must have gotten the information from Chen Mo.’

’Xia Shiqing and Chen Mo are boyfriend and girlfriend, so it isn’t strange for Chen Mo to give Xia Shiqing information.’

’But for Pan Kejia to also get information from Chen Mo... it suggests their relationship is probably not so simple.’

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xia Shiqing’s office.

’I just wonder if Xia Shiqing knows about this...’

At this moment, Xia Shiqing was sitting in her office, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

After a moment of thought, she took out her phone and sent a message to her online friend.

DING~

Chen Mo noticed his old phone dinged. He picked it up and saw it was a notification from Xiaohongshu.

’Could it be a message from Xia Shiqing?’

He opened it and saw that it was indeed from Xia Shiqing.

"Hello, my boyfriend has been a huge help to my career recently, and I really want to thank him."

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing the question from Xia Shiqing, a wide smile spread across Chen Mo’s face.

’Even Pan Kejia sent a message to thank me; there was no way Xia Shiqing wouldn’t.’

’She probably didn’t know how to thank me, so she’s asking her "female online friend" on Xiaohongshu first.’

"Was this a big help to your career?"

Chen Mo asked, feigning ignorance in his role as her online friend.

"It was huge. I’m really grateful to him."

Xia Shiqing quickly replied.

"In that case, sis, don’t overthink it. Just give yourself to him."

"Your relationship is stable now. It’s about time you two ’did the deed’."

Chen Mo pretended to think for a moment, waiting a minute or two before sending his suggestion to Xia Shiqing.

’Asking me for advice on how to thank... me?’

’Like I even had to think about it?’

’Anyone who’d hesitate for even a second would have to be a saint.’
