This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 99: Chapter 89: The ’Ding’ Sounded After Buying a Lottery Ticket

He hadn’t even asked if she’d accept the new arrangement!

"Chen Mo, you bastard!"

Pan Kejia stood on her tiptoes, her fair feet pressing down, and opened her cherry-red lips to bite Chen Mo’s shoulder in frustration.

’Chen Mo only came looking for her after his date with Xia Shiqing. Didn’t that mean he was already in his Sage state?’

Her original plan was to use the "Sage Plan" to make Xia Shiqing live like a widow.

But now, Xia Shiqing had instead sent Chen Mo to see her while he was in his Sage state.

Now, it was anyone’s guess who would be the one living like a widow.

It was a case of her own strategy being used against her.

"I love it when you’re being rebellious like this."

Chen Mo swept her up in his arms and tossed her onto the large, soft bed beside them.

’What was the fun in her being docile and obedient from the get-go?’

’It was only interesting when she started out rebellious, talked tough for a while, and then finally became docile.’

Practice makes perfect. The two of them expertly hit the highway.

Chen Mo didn’t hold back, trying out all sorts of driving modes.

Pan Kejia talked tough but had a soft heart. While cooperating with him, she didn’t forget to draw a map on his back.

It wasn’t until rain began to fall on the highway, leaving the road completely soaked, that they pulled into a service area to rest.

"So, now you see that your little ’Sage Plan’ is useless, right?"

Chen Mo patted the shoulder of the beauty nestled in his arms, teasing her with a meaningful smile.

"That’s just because she’s too much of a rookie!"

Though Pan Kejia was limp and boneless in his arms, her words were still defiant.

She refused to admit her Sage Plan had failed, insisting that Xia Shiqing was simply too much of a rookie.

In fact, she hoped Xia Shiqing would stay this green forever.

Otherwise, with more "reassignments" in the future, what would she do if Chen Mo came over in his Sage state every single time?

For now, though, it seemed manageable. One, Xia Shiqing was too inexperienced. Two, Chen Mo’s natural talent was simply too formidable.

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled and said nothing.

’As for whether Xia Shiqing was a rookie, that remained to be seen.’

’But rookie or not, pushing him into a Sage state was a challenge for anyone.’

"Let me tell you, today at the company..."

Afterward, Pan Kejia rested her head on Chen Mo’s shoulder and began sharing gossip and stories from her day at work.

...

「Early the next day.」

After another downpour on the highway, Chen Mo and Pan Kejia left the hotel together.

Pan Kejia had already changed into the business suit she’d brought with her and drove directly to her company for work.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, drove home.

After eating some breakfast and watching the news for a bit, the stock market opened.

There was still no sign of a turnaround for Ruilin Innovation; it hit its limit down right at the opening bell.

Ruilin Innovation’s stock price was now only 15.35 per share.

In other words, he had made a profit of 10.65 per share on this stock.

He had bought 2,000 lots, earning a total of 2.13 million!

’It still has further to fall. I’ll buy back in after the shareholders and executives announce they’re increasing their holdings.’

Chen Mo took a quick look and formulated a plan.

Then he checked the stock for Hongyin Jingtong.

That one was a foregone conclusion. It had already hit its limit down during the pre-market call auction.

Because a news story had just broken in the morning: Hongyin Jingtong was suspected of tax evasion, and the owner, CFO, and other senior executives had been taken in to assist with the investigation.

Everyone knew that with the loss of Ai Yikun and now mired in a tax evasion scandal, Hongyin Jingtong...

...was finished.

Chen Mo glanced at a finance group chat, where many people were sighing in despair.

"My department head literally smashed a cup today."

"Smashing cups +1."

"I lost a ton on this stock. If I set up a stall in Lujiazui selling drinking glasses, think I can make it back?"

"Galaxy-brain business sense, right there."

"Top-tier business mind. I’d invest in that venture."

"Jokes aside, though, any firm that bought into Hongyin Jingtong is having a massive headache right now."

"Especially Hanchen Capital, hahaha. Jiang Qifeng went in heavy at a high price. They must have lost a fortune on this one."

"I heard Hanchen Capital is already in meetings discussing how to deal with Jiang Qifeng."

"Serves him right. An old man like him, and he still jumps out to be someone else’s foil and stepping stone."

"..."

Chen Mo smiled. This time, it seemed Jiang Qifeng had finally learned his lesson.

In the afternoon, he got a call from a delivery guy.

"Hello, your delivery is here. Should I leave it at the drop-off point downstairs or bring it up to you?"

"A delivery? I haven’t bought anything."

Chen Mo was a bit surprised. He didn’t remember buying anything online recently.

"You’re Chen Mo, right? The address and phone number are yours?"

The delivery guy was also taken aback for a moment before asking.

"Yes, that’s me. Please bring it up."

Chen Mo had a guess what this was about, so he told the delivery guy.

Xia Shiqing had been to his place last night and knew his address.

These things were probably bought by Xia Shiqing.

A little while later, the delivery guy knocked on his door.

When he opened the door, he saw quite a few packages, large and small.

He opened them up and saw that they were, as he’d expected, from Xia Shiqing.

Towels, matching couple’s slippers, a new bedding set, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, skincare products, makeup, an electric toothbrush, toothpaste, and other daily necessities.

Aside from the slippers, of which there were two matching pairs, the rest were all women’s products.

Moreover, Chen Mo also found a few boxes of "umbrellas."

"Did you buy all this?"

Chen Mo took a photo and sent it to Xia Shiqing.

"Yeah. In a few days, once my body is more... agreeable, I might be staying over at your place a lot. I noticed you didn’t have these things, so I bought some to keep there."

"If you don’t want to stay at your place, we can go to a hotel, too."

Xia Shiqing replied quickly, admitting she had bought them.

She also explained her reason for buying everything.

"Alright, I’ll put them away for you."

Chen Mo paused for a second, then a wide, deep smile spread across his face.
