Qin Ming was feeling somewhat restless. Suddenly, the door to He Mengxue's office burst open.

He Mengxue appeared at the doorway.

She waved towards Qin Ming and coldly said, "Qin Ming, come here."

Qin Ming was already feeling uneasy.

Seeing his cousin summoning him, he quickly responded, stood up, and then headed to He Mengxue's office.

When he arrived at the office, He Mengxue had already sat back down in front of her computer.

Qin Ming scrutinized his cousin's expression.

Ever since He Mengxue had met with Chen Yan, her demeanor had been somewhat off, always seeming unhappy.

She was already somewhat icy before.

But when interacting with Qin Ming, she would occasionally laugh or even chase him with a baseball bat.

However, since that day, He Mengxue had been icy cold to everyone, looking somewhat terrifying.

Upon seeing Qin Ming enter her office, He Mengxue waved at him and said, "Sit."

Qin Ming closed the door and obediently sat down on the sofa.

He Mengxue looked at him and asked, "That stock of yours doesn't seem optimistic, does it?"

Qin Ming had been live-streaming to He Mengxue all day. So, he smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "I think this must just be an accident, right?"

"Brother Chen didn't give me that impression."

This time, He Mengxue unusually did not argue.

She nodded and said, "I feel the same."

She added, "Even if this stock doesn't meet expectations, it doesn't prove that Chen Yan's capabilities are in question."

She continued, "After all, stocks are highly reliant on luck. Moreover, the domestic stock market is not good, with too many uncertainties, and it isn't purely about company performance."

"So, Chen Yan making a mistake this time doesn't really prove anything."

After explaining, He Mengxue looked at her cousin.

Then she saw Qin Ming staring at her in shock.

She frowned, looked coldly at him, and asked, "Why are you looking at me with that expression?"

Qin Ming hurriedly adjusted his expression.

But after adjusting it, he still said in surprise, "Sis... this doesn't sound like you at all."

"You actually followed my line of thought. And.... you're actually defending someone!"

"Aren't you always looking down on everyone, thinking they're all worthless?!"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, He Mengxue's facial expression faltered.

After a moment, she covered it up by saying, "You misunderstood me before."

"I always stick to the facts."

Qin Ming: ...

I don't believe you for a moment!

Qin Ming didn't believe a word He Mengxue said.

He Mengxue was the type to be so assertive that she could use a stick to make Qin Ming admit 1+1=3!

Such a person, claiming to "stick to the facts"?

That was simply the world's biggest joke!

Qin Ming glanced at He Mengxue.

He really started to wonder... if his cousin was... possessed by someone else.

Otherwise, how could her personality have changed so drastically these past few days?

Perhaps sensing Qin Ming's peculiar gaze, He Mengxue banged heavily on the desk and threatened, "Are you itching for a beating?"

He Mengxue's threat oddly reassured Qin Ming: Ah... that's my sister indeed! If she had been like this from the start, I wouldn't have been so scared!

But his reassurance was of no use, for He Mengxue, seeing his "betrayal" of her intentions, still ended up kicking him out.

Qin Ming couldn't defy his cousin and reluctantly left He Mengxue's office.

And just as his hand touched the office doorknob, suddenly his phone chimed,

Qin Ming twisted the doorknob with one hand, and with the other, pulled out his phone to check the notification.

At a glance, he was stunned:

[Price Limit Alert: Xilin Education hit the price limit.]

Qin Ming's actions froze.

He hurriedly pulled his hand back from the doorknob, then clicked on the notification.

The notification took him directly to the stock trading app interface.

Then, a bright red +9.99% stock price limit appeared before him.

Qin Ming felt his adrenaline rapidly secreting, his heartbeat began to pound fiercely,

He clicked on his account.

A bright red +510052.81 figure filled his eyes.

Qin Ming sharply turned his head and called out, "Sis! Sis!"

He Mengxue was still lost in thought about whether she was defending Chen Yan due to Qin Ming's earlier words...

Suddenly hearing Qin Ming's voice,

She looked up somewhat impatiently, "What is it?"

Qin Ming's voice trembled as he said, "Sis! It hit the price limit!"

"Price limit?" He Mengxue didn't understand initially.

But after a moment's thought, she immediately grasped Qin Ming's meaning.

She hurriedly glanced at the top left corner of her computer screen.

Indeed, the stock curve representing Xilin Education, after fluctuating all day, had soared straight to the price limit just 20 minutes before the market closed!

He Mengxue's eyes widened sharply.

'It really hit the price limit?'

'Chen Yan didn't deceive her naïve little cousin?'

After a day filled with disappointment, when a surprise came suddenly, even He Mengxue, a woman used to facing life's vicissitudes, felt momentarily dazed.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

She closely examined the number of buy orders at that stock's price limit, threw a wet blanket on Qin Ming, "This stock lacks momentum."

"Looking at its buy orders, price limit buy orders only consist of twenty to thirty million in funds. It's too easily knocked down by sell orders."

"And with such a weak limit, it likely won't hit the price limit tomorrow."

Upon saying this, He Mengxue asked, "By the way, Chen Yan said, how much could you make from this stock?"

Qin Ming, still caught up in his excitement, casually said, "46%. Four days and four..."

Midway, Qin Ming suddenly realized he'd been tricked into revealing more.

He promptly gave He Mengxue a wary look.

But He Mengxue paid him no mind.

She withdrew her gaze and began to ponder.

'Qin Ming almost said four days and four price limits?'

'Can this stock really rise that much?'

He Mengxue checked the stock's information and transaction volume for a while, feeling incredibly skeptical.

She glanced at Qin Ming, intending to verify further.

But this time, Qin Ming clamped his mouth shut, determined not to speak.

He Mengxue rolled her eyes at him. If her baseball bat had been within reach, she definitely would have given him a thrashing...

But for now... she decided to spare Qin Ming the rod. She would see how the stock performed over the next three days.

The next day, the stock astonished He Mengxue.

Contrary to her predictions,

A stock market that clearly wasn't strong yesterday suddenly hit the price limit within two minutes of opening and remained strong throughout the day.

He Mengxue specifically checked the stock data again. She found nothing noteworthy.

She could only continue to observe.

On the third day, the stock still hit its price limit.

On the fourth day, during the pre-market period, the stock continued to hit the price limit.

He Mengxue was numb.

She figured, perhaps... Chen Yan really knew some insider information!

Otherwise, there was no way to explain it!

At that time, Qin Ming...

He didn't care whether it was insider information or if Chen Yan had foreseen the stock's potential. Either way, he had made a killing.

Just like Chen Yan predicted. After borrowing 3 million from He Ruixue, he directly used 5 million dollars to buy the stock.

Four days and four price limits, 46% profit! Earning more than 2.3 million!

It doubled his assets!

Now, even if he returned He Mengxue's money, he still had 5 million dollars in hand!

And this took only four days!

When he sold at the moment Chen Yan instructed, and saw several million in profit safely in his account, he made a silent vow in his heart: He must firmly latch onto Chen Yan's "coattail"!

Even if Chen Yan asked him to tie up his cousin and deliver her to him... he would...

Well... he'd at least demand to be treated better than a small uncle!

After all, that was the relative he had grown up fighting with!

And after securing his gains, having earned over 2 million, Qin Ming also specifically bought a gold ornament worth several hundred thousand to send to Chen Yan as a token of gratitude.

When Chen Yan received his gift, he didn't even need to hear through the "Inner Headphones"; just from his admiring and ingratiating gaze, he knew this guy must have listened to him and made quite a bit.

However, it was precisely because of Qin Ming's compliance that Chen Yan also marked him as "one of his own."

After all, someone with not so strong a background but with ample resource channels, and who was very trusting and loyal, was exactly what Chen Yan needed.

He would resolve many of Chen Yan's troubles and accelerate his growth.

Thus, facing Qin Ming's gift, Chen Yan graciously accepted it...

And he conveniently gave Qin Ming a task as well: to help him find a suitable location for a banquet.

He was preparing to celebrate "The 23 Days to Get Over a Break-Up" with Lu Man, initiating the award campaign, and starting his plan to corner Xu Brothers Film Company!

When Qin Ming heard Chen Yan's requirements for this banquet, his eyes shifted, and he said, "Brother Chen, if, as you said, this banquet is about flexing muscles and tactically managing awards, then a hotel might not be the best choice."

Chen Yan looked at him, "Oh?"

Qin Ming said, "Because a hotel is too ordinary. No matter how it's managed, it won't convey your power to the people in the entertainment business."

Chen Yan looked at Qin Ming and asked, "Then what do you suggest...?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Aren't you on good terms with the Zhao family? Borrow their manor!"

"Using the most luxurious manor in Qindong Province, the Zhao family's villa, to host the banquet. Don't you think the invited guests would understand that you are an unreachable presence?"

"At that time, any manipulations you need to perform would naturally succeed, wouldn't they?"
