Knock knock knock—
The sound of someone knocking on the window.
Cao Cheng heard it.
Ignored it.
What the hell…
Haven’t you seen your buddy sunbathing?
This guy’s like a cat—when he’s soaking up the sun, he hates being disturbed.
Especially now…
Right now, he’s secretly praying that the divine-level treasure chest will drop a Cultivation Technique. Don’t bother me.
Tap tap tap—
The sound of slippers approaching, getting closer.
A shadow blocked the sunlight on Cao Cheng’s face.
Annoying.
Cao Cheng frowned, opened his eyes, and saw two beautiful women.
He recognized the second sister.
And the other one… he knew her too.
Though he’d never met her in person, this woman was famous—everyone online had his info, investors worshipped her like a goddess, mainly because she was stunning.
The Financial Queen, right?
“Ahh~~”
Cao Cheng let out a strange cry, clutching his precious parts as he got up to throw on a robe.
Damn it.
These two female troublemakers.
They didn’t even warn him, just barged right in?
They saw everything.
Hope they don’t get any ideas—this guy’s pure as snow and planning to stay chaste.
Actually, nothing was really exposed.
But his attitude was so off-putting, like they’d taken some kind of advantage.
Second sister scoffed silently.
Tang Xin smiled sweetly, sizing him up from head to toe, especially his proportions—her eyes were like a scanner, imprinting everything in her mind.
You don’t come across a figure like this every day.
…
“No.”
“You’re both women, can’t you show some restraint?”
“Next time I’m sunbathing, can I just stand right in front of you?” Cao Cheng, now dressed in a white robe, grumbled at second sister Ren Fanxing.
Before she could reply,
Tang Xin reached out her hand, eyes sparkling, voice soft: “Hello, Stock God!”
“Huh? So Tang Goddess has heard of me? Looks like I’m somewhat famous in the circle?” Cao Cheng raised an eyebrow and reached out his hand.
Her skin was smooth.
No wonder she worked in an office—much softer than second sister’s. Although second sister kept herself in good shape, years of training had left calluses on her fists.
Tang Xin giggled: “It’s more than just a little fame. The people who want to connect with you could line up all the way down the Huangpu River, but they don’t have the right connections. I begged your second sister for a long time to bring me here today.”
She put it out there to avoid any misunderstandings.
After all,
No one likes being investigated and then ambushed at home.
Cao Cheng smiled and accepted the flattery and compliments, chuckling: “Really? I always knew second sister had a close friend. I used to wonder—how could someone with her cold personality have a bestie? That friend must have a lot of patience. Turns out it’s an industry queen.”
Tang Xin laughed softly: “We’ve been best friends since childhood. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand her either.”
Cao Cheng suddenly understood: “No wonder. Most people really can’t handle her!”
“…”
(▼ヘ▼#)
Wait.
You’re talking trash about me to my face?
“You two have had enough.”
“I’m still here, you know.”
Second sister’s face turned cold as she pushed them apart.
“Shake hands, fine. But do you have to hold on for so long?”
Only then did Cao Cheng ‘register’ what was happening. Looking at his own hands, he quickly smiled, “Hey, look at me—I got so caught up chatting with you that I completely lost track of time and place. We really should have met sooner.”
Tang Xin knew this guy was just joking around and happily played along, “Yeah, we should have met sooner.”
As they spoke,
They exchanged a look of mutual admiration, their hands clasping once again.
Their second sister pushed them apart.
“Enough of you two!!!”
……
In truth,
The energy between people is crucial.
Some people don’t need to know each other long to instantly hit it off.
While others, even after ten or twenty years, remain just the same—like Aunt Wang.
Take the current moment, for example.
Cao Cheng’s eyes were sharp as a ruler; the moment they met, he could sense the ‘warmth’ in Tang Xin’s gaze—a feeling tinged with a hint of ‘feigned restraint.’
At this moment,
You understand my vastness and abundance.
I understand your rare and refined elegance.
A perfect match!
Of course, there was also a natural chemistry—two people meeting for the first time, already teaming up to tease their second sister.
Cao Cheng needed to vent some negativity.
Tang Xin was used to teasing this cold, stoic one.
……
Their second sister’s face showed a rare look of grievance.
It was a new emotion to see.
She looked at Cao Cheng: “You invest? You’ve got over a billion in your hands?”
These days, having over a billion yuan would put you straight onto the rich list.
The top internet shopping platform moguls in Hangzhou only have a net worth of a few billion yuan, and that’s just on paper…
So even if their second sister wasn’t very money-savvy, she knew what having over a billion meant.
Cao Cheng shook his head, “Most of it’s borrowed. I don’t have that kind of money myself.”
Their second sister believed him.
Tang Xin didn’t—but she didn’t call him out.
Although part of the money was borrowed, just two months ago, his monthly profit was a solid 220 million yuan.
It even made the news.
And back then, he was still in the early stages of capital deployment, not yet maximizing his financial advantage. Now, with the secondary market taking off, that money would only grow bigger and bigger.
By then, the cash flow in his hands alone could crush countless listed companies.
Only Tang Xin understood just how powerful this money was, how much leverage it could unlock.
And this money,
Was controlled by this young man in his early twenties.
Judging by his demeanor, he didn’t seem the least bit excited or restless because of it.
That kind of composure.
Even she hadn’t possessed it.
Tang Xin, hailed as the Queen of Finance, had initially started making money by managing a few hundred million yuan of funds, earning 50 million yuan in profits. After management fees and agreed commissions, she personally pocketed a million.
For someone like her, that wasn’t much, but it had made her ecstatic for half a month.
Even now, she could still feel the lingering emotions from that time.
Every time she talked about her past, she was proud—because that was her first battle, one she won without relying on family.
Compared to that,
This young man in front of her gave off the feeling of being steady and composed!
Even though he kept smiling, occasionally teasing the cold, stoic one, seeming carefree and casual, his words just now—“Most of it’s borrowed”—showed he wasn’t arrogant at all.
If this were any other man,
In front of a beautiful woman, he would’ve surely boasted nonstop about his achievements.
But Cao Cheng? He actually downplayed it.
……
“I followed your post.”
“You said you’re taking a break—does that mean you’re not optimistic about the stock market ahead?” Tang Xin asked.
Cao Cheng shook his head. “It’s not like it can keep going up forever. There’s always going to be a pullback. Besides, I’m just shifting some positions—rotating between sectors.”
Tang Xin nodded.
She didn’t ask which sectors; she had her own judgment.
She was a seasoned player herself and wouldn’t be swayed by others’ opinions.
Besides, she also thought a pullback was coming.
“I think so too. The index is at 4170 points now. I figure a drop to around 3900 would be about right,” Tang Xin said.
Cao Cheng smiled but said nothing.
Seeing that smile, Tang Xin’s eyes narrowed. “You mean it’s going to go even lower? Won’t that hurt market confidence?”
Cao Cheng shook his head. “Market confidence is important, but it’s not the most important thing. You might want to be a bit bolder in your thinking.”
“...”
Second sister just sat there like a goofy dog, completely unable to join the conversation.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
