Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

"You've only played the stock market for a few days, and now you're teaching us?"

"Do you still remember who introduced you to this?"

Those who firmly supported Storm Technology in the group were the two older cousins.

They entered the market at 101 and now watched as the stock soared to 300, their eyes glowing red.

Anyone who spoke ill of Storm Technology, they would clash with.

They had barely stopped short of throwing their entire fortune into it.

"Humph, believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, my son-in-law has already said that if something is abnormal, there's a high chance it's problematic."

Second cousin: "Your son-in-law said that?"

Third cousin: "Are you sure Chen Pingsheng said that?"

Liu Fen: "We're relatives, would I lie to you? He invested fifty million in Vanke."

Second cousin: "Why didn't you say that your son-in-law said it earlier?"

Third cousin: "Exactly, whoever wants to keep it can keep it, I'm planning to bail anyway."

"Wait for me, I'm going to dump my shares of Storm Technology too."

The two of them were adamant about selling their shares.

Liu Fen herself wasn't particularly noteworthy, but her son-in-law was truly impressive. Explore new worlds at m,v l'e-m|p y r

In just a few short years, he's getting ready to move to Nanluo Gu Alley.

You should know that in Capital City, those who are rehoused after demolition are also ranked.

Nanluo Gu Alley is a place where you'll never find relocated households.

Simply put, who can afford to demolish it?

Just a single house there could be a small goal to start with.

Not to mention that Liu Fen's son-in-law was planning to settle in a siheyuan worth three hundred million.

Naturally, the words he spoke carried a lot of weight.

The second cousin and third cousin, already uneasy, did not hesitate to prepare to offload their Storm Technology shares.

If they didn't bail now, they could indeed end up with nothing but worthless paper.

Both had bought in when the price was over one hundred, and now that it had risen to three hundred, they had seen a modest doubling.

They were quite satisfied.

However, after some hesitation, the two older cousins decided to hold on firmly to their shares.

It had already risen to three hundred, how much could it possibly fall? Could it go back down to one hundred?

If that were to happen, who knows how many people would jump off buildings.

...

It's fair to say she was overly optimistic, also underestimating the risks of the stock market.

Liu Fen's second cousin and third cousin simultaneously sold their Storm Technology shares, cashing in nearly two million combined.

Bought at 130 and sold close to 300, the profit was over double.

It wasn't just them selling.

They also urged relatives and friends to sell together and then used the cashed out money to buy Vanke shares.

Anyway,

Following Liu Fen's son-in-law in buying, there would probably be no major mistakes.

As for the two older cousins of Liu Fen who were still holding on to Storm Technology, all one could say was good luck to them.

Chen Pingsheng hadn't expected

that his few simple words would cause the Liu family relatives to take such considerable action,

or that it would allow so many people to avoid taking drastic steps.

When a stock climbs, it's frantic, and the same goes for when it falls.

Even crazier is that when it drops, everyone wants to withdraw their money and run, with no new capital coming in.

Everyone would be trapped inside with no way out.

Once selling starts severely outnumbering buying, most people would be stuck in the market forever.

Until their shares plummet to being just a worthless piece of paper, or wait for it to return to stability.

Who knows where that stable price would end up.

Otherwise, why would there be so many who end up jumping off buildings after trading stocks; they're all trapped inside.

In the afternoon, having nothing much to do,

Chen Pingsheng took Chen Xinyi out for a stroll, and he hadn't expected to witness a bizarre scene after leaving the house.

Under the glaring sun,

a small truck was parked at the entrance of their community.

His younger sister, Chen Qi, was actually helping someone sell apples there.

Chen Pingsheng: "…?"

"Chen Qi, what are you doing?"

"Bro, didn't you see? I'm helping this guy sell apples."

"You really have too much free time on your hands."

Chen Pingsheng handed Chen Xinyi over to her, letting her hold the child.

Chen Qi had only met the apple guy after the New Year; like him, she used to make a living selling fruits on the streets.

But don't underestimate this profession, someone even slightly capable could easily make ten to twenty thousand a month.

It's just not very prestigious, that's all.

"Bro, aren't you working today?"

"Taking a day off, staying at home with the Little Fart Kid."

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Why aren't you at Water Cloud Space for work, and yet you've come here instead?"

Chen Qi explained that the apple seller was also from Southern Province.

She had bought apples from him once and had a rather good impression of the guy.

Chen Pingsheng was utterly befuddled.

He was so frustrated he could die, in Capital City they had seven or eight properties already.

A person earning tens of millions a year and yet coming over to help sell apples.

Can you use your brain?

He didn't look down on those selling apples on the street; it was just that the gap was too huge.

The difference in consumer mindset was completely at odds; how could they be together.

"Come back home with me."

"Big brother, big brother, these apples are delicious, I'll give you some."

The young guy had a tan, a lot like he used to be. Chen Pingsheng didn't despise apple sellers either.

The main thing was, he was very aware that if it weren't for Golden Finger Grandpa, selling fruit on the street to reach his level.

Would've been utterly impossible.

It's important to know oneself, just like how he himself never thought he was that capable.

So, he definitely wouldn't allow his own little sister to be with this kind of person.

He didn't take the apple.

Chen Pingsheng took his little sister home, "I'm telling you, Chen Qi, do you even have a brain?"

"Of course I have a brain. I just thought he was working hard and wanted to help out."

"People do this kind of work; what's so hard about it?"

Chen Pingsheng took out his phone to call Song Yanxi; scolding her by himself at the criticism session wasn't enough.

He had to drag both his elder sister and his wife Song Yanxi over.

The foolish little sister really didn't understand that, once the views on life are too divergent, it's impossible to live together for the long term.

You're someone who treats housing as a money-making tool.

How could you mix with someone who is desperately paying off their mortgage?

Song Yanxi came back quickly; naturally, she placed great importance on her husband's only little sister.

Elder sister Chen Yao also came, still driving the Panamera he gifted her.

Four people around one table.

Chen Pingsheng quietly made his sister's three major offences public.

Once Song Yanxi heard it was about selling apples on the street, she couldn't help wanting to know more.

It was still Chen Pingsheng who stopped her, "Yanxi, what are you doing? I called you back to listen to the story, you need to educate your little sister-in-law."

"I'm just trying to understand more," she said.

"Where is the room for understanding?"

Chen Pingsheng hugged Chen Xinyi again, ensuring his little sister couldn't use her as a shield.

"She's already a billionaire, and if she goes looking for someone like that, I'm afraid one day she'll slip off a cliff while hiking."

"Bro, isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Chen Qi frowned.

What was a non-existent problem had been blown out of proportion by him, and Chen Qi felt speechless.

"What do you mean exaggerated?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "A million can make people commit murder and arson; let alone your own billion-worth wealth, never try to underestimate human nature's evil."

"Don't you understand that wealth turns people's hearts?"

"Look at what my brother is saying, sister-in-law!"

Chen Qi tugged at Song Yanxi, who was beside her.

Song Yanxi also felt what he was saying was a bit too exaggerated, but right now her loyalties were with Chen Pingsheng.

Even when Chen An'an grows up, although she wouldn't care too much about what kind of person she finds.

But being together with someone from a vastly different background, really, it's difficult to expect a future.

How would someone who gets hundreds of thousands for pocket money live long-term with someone earning twenty thousand a month?

Song Yanxi advised, "Actually, your brother is just looking out for you, even though it might be a bit of an exaggeration."

Chen Pingsheng wasn't pleased, "Exaggerated how?"

Song Yanxi shot him a glance, "I'm not finished talking yet, don't interrupt."

Chen Qi felt like her head was going to explode.

She couldn't run away even if she wanted to; after all, she relied on her elder brother for her meals.

Besides, she always listened to her elder brother.

Just a bit of budding curiosity was mercilessly snuffed out.

The whole afternoon, the sister-in-law would talk, then the elder sister, and after the elder sister, the sister-in-law would speak again.

Joined by a gloating elder brother on the side, her afternoon was doomed to be restless.

The criticism meeting went on until the evening, only then was the little sister finally allowed to go home.

This is just foolish.

It seems he really needed to oversee his little sister's matchmaking himself.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of weirdo she might bring home.
