When he saw it was the female demon, Xu Mo's heart skipped a beat!
Don't come disturb his peaceful slacker life!
"Ahem... what are you doing here?"
Xu Mo awkwardly sat up from the sofa.
"Coming to see my husband~"
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled at him mischievously and pulled out the chair in front of her to sit down.
[Oh husband? When doing naughty things, there are images--]
[But forget it for now, you should say less of that, it makes me nervous]
Xu Mo felt somewhat guilty and said with a stern face.
"Who's your husband? Don't talk nonsense. If there's nothing else, you should leave. I'm very slow, you know."
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled without speaking, letting Xu Mo tell his obvious lies.
After a while.
Xu Mo realized his spiritual power wasn't enough, and he was about to lose to the female demon!
He had no choice but to try escaping to the bathroom.
"Really now, you're just like a child, trying to run away as soon as someone says anything to you."
Zhou Qiaoqiao gave him a flirtatious glance.
She could hear all of Xu Mo's inner thoughts.
The gist was that since he couldn't win, he might as well escape.
He needed to maintain the last shred of dignity in his role as a devoted pursuer.
"If you have something to say, say it--" Xu Mo unconsciously glanced at her long legs.
Today Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn't wearing stockings.
All natural.
Those long legs were dazzlingly white.
Seeming to notice Xu Mo's gaze.
Zhou Qiaoqiao changed the position of her crossed legs.
While changing positions, she deliberately paused for a moment.
Xu Mo almost had a nosebleed, wine-red in color.
Good heavens----
Being handsome really brings suffering!
Xu Mo had no thoughts of taking advantage of the situation.
His gaze shifted slightly elsewhere.
Zhou Qiaoqiao held back her laughter and got to the point.
"You should know about crude oil futures, right?"
"There's been an upward trend recently, and I want to purchase some before the price increases. Since this involves a large amount of money, I'm hesitant."
Xu Mo raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's eye for business was really sharp!
She had already set her sights on crude oil futures.
The oil futures were a natural phenomenon in the novel, not a tool for the protagonist to show off.
He remembered that in his previous life, oil futures did rise for a short period.
However, soon after, three world-class oil fields were discovered.
Their scale broke previous world records.
Moreover, these three major oil fields were very easy and simple to exploit, without much difficulty.
So oil futures experienced an unprecedented crash!
Those who chose to go long had already run away with their mistresses.
Wait, isn't this a perfect opportunity to weaken his own power?
The Xu Family becoming weaker would be good for the protagonist!
The plot difficulty would decrease.
Once and for all!
Xu Mo returned to reality, "I think this matter has great potential!"
"Jiajia has already organized the information for me to see, and there's basically no problem!"
"If you're worried that too much money might affect the Zhou Family, we'll have the Xu Family provide all the funds!"
Xu Mo was very generous.
At the end of the plot, the collapse of the Xu Family empire was inevitable.
Rather than letting Lin Fan spend it.
It would be better for Xu Mo to waste this money himself.
Not leaving a penny for the protagonist was an inescapable responsibility of being the antagonist.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was completely confused!
Not because of Xu Mo's generous attitude.
But because oil prices would crash dramatically in the future!
This wasn't something that could be compensated for by precise data or advanced prediction algorithms.
This was entirely heaven's decision!
People could only accept their fate.
In that case, these oil futures were a huge trap!
It was indeed right to come discuss this with Xu Mo!
Seeing Zhou Qiaoqiao's dazed expression.
Xu Mo thought she was shocked by his generosity.
He waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, alright, you can go now. If you think there's not enough money, you can go to the Xu Family Finance Department and mention my name."
[Good heavens! The process of spending money on the female demon feels too good]
After knowing the futures were a huge trap!
Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately changed her approach.
In the financial world, besides going long, there's also shorting!
Obviously, price decreases were perfect for short selling!
Bond shorting!
In just a few minutes.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had already decided on her new strategy!
She would definitely take this money.
Not only that, the Zhou Family would follow suit!
They would rise or fall together!
As for how much oil would fall in the future.
She would have to probe indirectly to find the answer from Xu Mo's thoughts!
Zhou Qiaoqiao understood.
Since her little wolf wanted to be a slacker.
She would let him be one.
In a sense, she would cooperate.
Regarding Xu Mo's dismissal.
Zhou Qiaoqiao ignored it.
She picked up the teacup from the table, first rinsed it with water, then poured herself a cup.
She took small sips.
Xu Mo stared at her blankly.
Confused by Zhou Qiaoqiao's mysterious actions.
"Do you think there will ever be a day when oil prices will be as low as a bottle of mineral water?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao played with the teacup in her hand, her gaze fixed on the cool water inside, asking casually.
It seemed like she said something.
It seemed like she said nothing at all.
Clatter-----
The folder on Xu Mo's desk fell to the ground.
Making a crisp sound.
He himself broke out in a cold sweat.
[Female demon, does the Zhou Family's intelligence network have to be so impressive?]
[How can they even investigate something like this?]
Xu Mo said with a pained expression, "Haha... you're overthinking it, no matter how much oil prices drop, they won't become as cheap as mineral water!"
Xu Mo thought Zhou Qiaoqiao was just talking nonsense.
So he gave a nonsensical answer!
First lead the female demon away from this topic!
Don't let her think too much about it.
With others, Xu Mo wouldn't be so worried.
But Zhou Qiaoqiao was different.
She was incredibly sharp!
Her business talent and keen sense for business opportunities
Were ten thousand times stronger than her ability to catch cheating spouses!
Zhou Qiaoqiao glared at him fiercely, "I was just making a hypothesis."
Xu Mo wanted to cry but had no tears, completely speechless!
[Female demon, your hypothesis is very dangerous!]
[This isn't a hypothesis at all, but a reality that will come true in the near future]
[I remember oil went from $100 per barrel to around $25 per barrel]
[Oh you got one thing wrong, to put it dramatically, mineral water would become more expensive than oil]
[If we had known earlier, shorting bonds would have made a killing]
[But why would I tell you these things, right?]
[Just wait to lose money... at least it's not the Zhou Family's money...]
"Ding, congratulations host on gaining +2 personal charm."
While Xu Mo was lost in thought.
A force made his body lean forward.
A faint, refreshing fragrance entered his nostrils.
Something blocked his mouth.
Soft and tender, like a gentle jelly.
Xu Mo had a dumbfounded expression.
Damn--
And that wasn't all, something was coming through.
Outrageous!!
Before, the female demon was just crazy, now she herself had gone completely insane, confirmed!
You're testing officials like this?
Which official could withstand such a test?!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
