I’ll Add Points To All Things
chapter-400

Su Yang did not hesitate. 'Since I've already made my decision, I should strike while the iron's hot.' Su Yang immediately instructed Wang Dong to set up for a meeting with the bank manager, ideally on that day itself.

Su Yang's motive was simple.

He had recently obtained a Silver ability [Absolute Verbal Contract]. Since that person liked to make false promises or be hypocritical, Su Yang might as well be hypocritical as well

'As long as the person makes the promise, then the contract will take effect, provided that it's something within his capabilities.

'Then, I could just sit at home and wait for the 50 million yuan loan to come through.

'It would be even better if… that person has the authority to directly approve the 50 million yuan loan. That way, I'd be able to save a lot of time and effort to resolve the issue.

'Once I have the money, I could invest in Little Deeny's artificial intelligence research and development laboratory, Sanque's health supplements factory. Plus, I could invest in some startup companies, stocks, and even produce some movies. Then, the Silver mission could be completed easily.

'How wonderful!

'If everything goes according to plan, this mission will definitely be the quickest Silver mission that I'm able to complete.'

When Wang Dong went out to contact the manager at the bank, Su Yang took the opportunity to send Xu Lu a message on WeChat. He wanted to confirm if the [Burning Fate] from the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] had any influence on others…

Su Yang texted. 'Are you there?'

…

Xu Lu was on the phone with her cousin.

Last week, Xu Lu's world turned upside down in an instant. She followed Su Yang's instructions to invest in a particular stock. However, due to her greed, instead of making close to 20%, she made a detrimental loss in the end.

That wasn't the end of it. After that, Zhang Bang Science and Technology continued to remain out of business on the second day, and it wasn't until the third day that the stock opened up, but the stock still opened up at -8%.

At that time, Xu Lu could not take it anymore, her heart could not handle the shock from it. Hence, she quickly grabbed the opportunity and sold off all her stocks when it finally opened up in the market, regardless of how much she earned..

After selling it, she did some calculations,. 'After two consecutive days of stagnation, not only have I not earned any money, I've even lost quite a bit. I've lost more than 1,500 yuan in just 5 to 6 days!

'That's 4 times my salary as an emcee!'

At that moment, Xu Lu felt like she was going crazy.

As she sat in a daze in front of her computer, her entire world turned gray.

She felt as though her heart had been stabbed and blood was slowly flowing out of her body. All that's left in her heart was hatred, regret, helplessness and frustration...

She did not know what to do.

She felt as though she was trapped in an endless spiral of strange emotions and there was no way for her to escape.

Xu Lu had finally recovered after living lifelessly for over a week. However, perhaps because this was the first time she had lost so much money, her heart would ache every time she thought about her loss.

She would constantly think of how she would not have to lose so much money if she had not invested in the stock market.

She felt so regretful it was akin to being scammed, robbed or even accidentally losing her money on the streets.

It was Thursday that day and she was on leave. She had initially planned to see if there were any part time jobs that she could do in their modeling group chat. However, before she got out of bed, her cousin called her.

"Big Lulu, are you awake?"

Xu Lu did not even have the thought of rebutting her cousin calling her by her nickname. She said weakly, "Yes."

Her cousin was speechless.

As the older sister who grew up with Xu Lu since they were kids, her cousin knew Xu Lu very well. Xu Lu did not have many hobbies since she was young aside from being a money-grubber. She would be the happiest when she received her gift money every year.

Ironically, Xu Lu would be the saddest when her gift money had been taken away. She was showing the same expression at that particular moment as well.

Therefore, her cousin could guess what was going on. "Have you lost your money?"

Xu Lu did not expect her cousin to be so direct. She covered her head with a pillow like an ostrich. "No, I didn't lose it."

Her cousin said, "You really should change your habit of losing things."

Then, her cousin began a whole new round of preaching…

Xu Lu heard her cousin talking non-stop and was almost filled with despair. She changed the topic forcefully. "What do you think I should do after I graduate based on my major? Should I continue dancing?"

"But you're only able to dance as long as your youth allows it, I'd say a few years at most. You can't possibly expect to dance forever."

"I'm in my third year this year so I'll be graduating in a year. How about I try working in a big company as a clerk?"

When Xu Lu said that, her cousin immediately said, "No you shouldn't! I think you should do what you like while you're still young."

"Plus, working in a big company isn't as great as you think. Haven't you seen the latest news? You've got to work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week. You'll be retrenched if you get any critical illness. Plus, it's also possible for you to be reprimanded by the police for 251 days if you get retrenched, how scary is that?"

Xu Lu had a blank look on her face. She had been acting like an ostrich every day recently and had not paid attention to such things.

Her cousin did not go deeper into the conversation and stopped there.

Instead, she said, "Why don't you continue dancing while you're still young? You could be a dance instructor for the time being. After that, find a good man to marry and be a full-time housewife if you can. If you can't be a full-time housewife, you could then try to open a dance class. Moreover, you could hire others to be a dance teacher too."

Xu Lu's eyes lit up. 'That makes sense.

'I might as well continue dancing since that's what I like. I could maintain my slender figure and then find a nice man to marry. Of course, he has to be nice and rich...'

As she thought about these conditions, Su Yang's image appeared in Xu Lu's mind.

Since Su Yang could appear in Xu Lu's mind, it was obvious that her cousin would as well. Hence, her cousin said, "Oh! How's things with your scammer junior?"

When Xu Lu heard her cousin say that about Su Yang, she immediately retorted, "He's not a scammer!"

Her cousin laughed out loud. "You're right, you're right. He's not a scammer." However, her words seemed to be sarcastic.

Xu Lu said angrily, "He's really not a scammer. Everything he said turned out to be true."

"Everything?" Her cousin was stunned for a moment. Then, she managed to link Su Yang with Xu Lu's strange behavior from that morning and could not help but ask, "Did you invest in the stocks like he told you to?"

Xu Lu was speechless

Although she did not want to talk about it, she still replied softly, "Yes…"

Upon hearing this, her cousin asked again, "Have you had to lose your money?!"

Her words were harsh and made Xu Lu uncomfortable, but she did not like to lie, so she said, "Yes…"

Her cousin asked, "How much have you lost?"

Xu Lu, "1,500 yuan..."

Her cousin heaved a sigh of relief. However, she probed, "Lulu, have you slept with him?"

Hearing this, Xu Lu's face instantly turned red. She slammed her bed and said, "What the hell are you thinking! Am I that casual to you?"

Her cousin was even more relaxed now. "That's good. I was afraid that you'd been cheated of both your money and your chastity."

Xu Lu said, "I'm not a fool."

Her cousin chuckled. "How many girls think that they're stupid before they actually get cheated?"

Xu Lu was speechless.

However, she still said indignantly, "But he's really not a scammer."

Her cousin laughed. "If he's not a scammer, how did you lose your 1,500 yuan?"

Xu Lu said, "It's because I didn't listen to him…"

Her cousin laughed out loud. "You did the right thing. You've already lost 1,500 yuan by not listening to him. If you had, you probably wouldn't have anything left."

Xu Lu panicked. "What the hell are you talking about!"

Xu Lu sat up from her bed with a thin blanket covered over her chest, revealing her slender arms and fair chest. She never wore clothes when she slept.

After she sat up, she told her cousin everything about when Su Yang told her to buy the stocks and what she ended up doing.

Before she finished, she mentioned how she could have made a profit, but just because she got too greedy, she ended up landing herself in tragedy because she wanted to wait for the stock price to increase some more before selling.

After hearing what Xu Lu said, her cousin was stunned.

She paused for a full five minutes before saying in surprise, "You mean to say that he had actually managed to predict when you should buy and when you should sell the stocks?"

"That's right," Xu Lu said helplessly. "He told me that I could buy anytime at any point on Thursday. Then, I just have to sell it off on Friday when it reaches its highest limit."

"In the end, the stock dropped to -3% on Thursday but I didn't buy it. Then, it reached its highest limit right at the last minute on Thursday afternoon. The same thing happened on Friday as well. So, if I had bought it on Thursday and sold it off on Friday, I would've been able to earn 20% already."

"In fact, even if I bought it on Friday and sold it off as soon as the market opened instead of getting greedy for those few extra %, I would've still been able to earn quite a bit. But…"

Xu Lu sighed and complained, "Frankly, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have bought it on Thursday and sold it off on Friday when the price reached its highest limit. That would have been 20% at least."

"Well…" Her cousin could not refute after hearing Xu Lu's complaints. After a while, she said, "That's impossible! I refuse to believe this. Could he be that accurate? Is he able to accurately predict when the stock will be able to reach its highest limit and drop to its lowest limit specifically? Do you think he is Buttett, God of stock investment? "

"Hold on."

As she said that, the sound of her cousin getting off her bed and putting on her slippers could be heard, followed by the sound of her computer turning on.

After five minutes, her cousin's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. "Could he really be that amazing?"

Xu Lu lay on the bed and said helplessly, "It's true. Why would I lie to you?"

Her cousin still did not believe her. "Send me a screenshot of your purchase and bills. I still don't believe you."

Xu Lu sighed. 'How is she so stubborn?'

She had no choice but to log into her account and send the screenshots to her cousin.

Just as she was waiting for her cousin's confirmation, her phone suddenly rang. It was a notification from WeChat.

Xu Lu tapped on her phone nonchalantly, but as she sat up, she completely ignored the blanket that had slid down her body.

The sunlight shone on her, making her look snowy white.

She smiled as brightly as the Sun as she saw Su Yang's name on her WeChat…
