Urban Villain: The Game of Wealth and Women

{Chapter: 29 Shocking! Earning 30 billion in ten minutes!}

This could truly rattle anyone to the core, couldn't it?

Stocks that had been in freefall for over half a year suddenly surged after Lin Yuan's jaw-dropping 5 billion investment!

It turns out that Young Master Lin Yuan is a low-key genius stock trader!

"Unbelievable! This is something people see only once in a lifetime! I've never witnessed anything like this in my entire career!"

"You can't argue with Young Master Lin's foresight!"

"He not only has vision—his calm, collected demeanor is unlike anything I've ever seen! A bold 5 billion gamble!"

All the employees working on investment and stock trading on the seventh floor were completely stunned.

The rise was not just unprecedented—it was outright irrational!

At that exact moment, one employee suddenly shouted, "Damn it! The stock's crashing!"

The entire room froze in shock.

The stock had jumped to 20 billion, only to drop so quickly!

Lin Jianjun shot a quick glance up, as did Chen Pei and the others. But the Spanish currency stock, still at the forefront, was skyrocketing, showing no signs of falling at all.

The voice that had just cried out came from one of the holding team members. Chen Pei frowned and asked, "When did it start falling? It's still climbing, isn't it?"

Realizing the misunderstanding, the employee quickly clarified, flustered, "No, no, no! I didn't mean the Spanish currency stock! I meant Changhong shares—they're crashing! Changhong shares are plummeting!"

The focus had previously been on the Spanish currency stock, leaving Changhong shares somewhat overlooked.

But as they looked at the Changhong stocks, they saw it—their value was indeed plummeting.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Yuan, eyes wide with disbelief.

They suddenly recalled Lin Yuan's earlier predictions, where not only did he forecast the rise of the Spanish currency stock, but he also predicted the downfall of Changhong shares.

Now, everything he had said had come to pass.

"Earlier, Young Master insisted on selling off Changhong stocks and putting the entire sum into the Spanish currency stock. Now Changhong's value is plummeting while the Spanish currency stock is soaring. This is simply remarkable!"

"This is beyond astounding! Could Young Master Lin be some kind of prophetic genius? No... wait, what am I saying?"

"Shut up! Of course, he's not a prophet! You should call him 'Stock God Yuan' or 'Buffet Yuan' from now on!"

"The young master is nothing short of extraordinary! Oh my god! If he ever recommends a stock in the future, I'll buy it without a second thought!"

The room was filled with admiration and awe from the staff.

Meanwhile, Chen Pei, Lin Yuan's stock trader, felt a cold sweat soaking her back. Her heart raced, and she couldn't shake the terrifying thought that if Lin Yuan hadn't stepped in, the 5 billion yuan would have been squandered in Changhong stocks, leading to a catastrophic loss.

If Lin Yuan hadn't intervened, it would've meant total financial ruin for the Lin Group—losing 5 billion in a single blow. She could have lost her job, and worse, she might have been held accountable.

Lin Yuan's earlier actions had not only saved the Lin family's fortune, but they had also saved her career and, by extension, her future.

Chen Pei looked at Lin Yuan with immense gratitude and admiration, realizing just how much she owed him.

"You... Young Master, thank you!" Her voice was filled with sincerity and reverence.

Lin Yuan waved it off casually. "I was just trying to keep the Lin Group afloat, nothing more."

Lin Jianjun and Meng Yuelan, who had been observing the events closely, were equally stunned.

They had always been in close contact with their son, but they had never seen him accomplish anything like this.

Both parents exchanged a look of astonishment, each silently asking themselves the same question: Since when did their son become this remarkable?

Lin Jianjun could barely contain his shock and asked, "Yuan'er, how did you know these stocks would rise or fall like this?"

Lin Yuan smiled calmly. "I did explain it before the investment, didn't I? I've been studying stocks for a while now... specifically the Spanish currency. I've been tracking it for three years."

Lin Yuan had developed advanced stock trading skills, so he was able to explain it with ease, peppering his explanation with technical terms.

Success in anything is difficult, but understanding how someone achieves success can often be the key. Lin Yuan continued, recounting how he'd spent entire nights analyzing the Spanish currency's market trends, focusing on half-year records, and keeping a sharp eye on Spanish news.

Both Lin Jianjun and Meng Yuelan listened intently, completely convinced. Meng Yuelan, in particular, felt a pang of concern.

"Money isn't everything. You have to take care of your health!" she said, her voice soft with motherly concern.

"I know, I know," Lin Yuan responded.

"If this continues, I'm afraid Yuan'er won't ever come back to inherit the company!" Lin Jianjun joked, though his tone was mixed with a sense of pride.

"Huh?" Meng Yuelan recalled the risky gamble Lin Yuan had taken earlier, and her expression changed immediately, "But wait... it's still uncertain! The stock soared, but it might crash again soon!"

"You have a tendency to jinx things a crows mouth," Lin Jianjun chuckled, shaking his head.

Yet Lin Yuan remained calm, his confidence unwavering. "It won't fall sharply. The stock will keep rising for at least until tomorrow morning. After that, we'll sell all of our Spanish currency stock. We shouldn't get greedy."

If Lin Yuan had said this earlier in the day, no one would have believed him.

But now, after everything that had happened, they all trusted his judgment completely.

As time passed, the Spanish currency stock continued to rise steadily, showing no signs of slowing down.

After a few more words, Lin Yuan left.

20 billion—this was just the beginning.

The next day...

"Yue'er, check this out." Song Xuan handed Yan Ruyue his phone early in the morning.

Yan Ruyue took it and scanned the news headline.

"Shocking! A 30 billion windfall in just ten minutes! Lin Yuan, the young master of the Lin family, who is known for his kind and handsome demeanor, has been revealed to be an extraordinary stock trader behind the scenes!"

Author Notes:

The chapter is exaggerating. It can be considered a lot of BS. Ignore the chapter by and large. It was a pain for me translating a chapter without any substance. People can skip it if they want. This is also where Chinese novels make money, so don't take chapters like this too seriously.

Meaning: someone who brings bad things about by talking about them. There is a similar expression in Polish as well. Looks like crows have a bad reputation all over the world.
