Chapter 163: I’ll Trust You One More Time
“Investment opportunity…”
Lu Qi, who was reading a book in the hotel, received that text message and couldn’t help but lower her head in contemplation.
If it were an ordinary person sending such a text, she would probably just smile and dismiss it. But since it was Wang Heng, she had to take it seriously.
【Let’s meet and talk.】
After waiting a moment, she saw Wang Heng send an address. Opening the map, she saw that the place wasn’t far from the hotel; taking a taxi would get her there quickly.
Lu Qi set the book aside and walked to the restroom, examining herself in the mirror.
“The question now is,” Lu Qi murmured to herself, “bare-faced or makeup?”
She was very confident in her bare face, but undeniably, a little makeup would attract more attention. However, since today’s meeting was to discuss investment matters, would doing makeup seem too deliberate?
Thinking this way, Lu Qi simply applied a layer of sunscreen and nude foundation, then drew some eyeliner, and stopped there.
“Alright, skip the lipstick and eyeshadow, just like this.”
Like this, it was roughly similar to her usual makeup when going to the company for work, not much different from bare-faced, more for sun protection and moisturizing. Only the eyeliner was slightly different from usual, making her eyes look more tender and charming.
Putting on the trench coat, Lu Qi strode out.
Hailing a taxi downstairs at the hotel, she soon arrived at that securities firm’s branch office.
Lu Qi walked in and saw Wang Heng sitting at the counter handling procedures. She didn’t say anything, just stood to the side with her hands in her trench coat pockets, silently watching.
“Alright, the bank’s documents have been entered for you, and you’ve set up the account password,” the young female teller said with an enthusiastic smile. “Would you like to join our new user trading course? Not just the stock market, but also futures and other derivatives markets, you can all get in touch with…”
Wang Heng shook his head: “Thanks, no need.”
The female teller was about to say more when she saw a beautiful and aloof older sister type walk over, sit down beside the boy, and smile: “Finished with the account opening procedures?”
Wang Heng glanced at her: “Yeah, I think so.”
“Then shall we find a place to talk now?”
“Okay.”
Wang Heng picked up those account opening materials and stood up.
At this time, the teller reminded: “You can use our document bag here.”
So Wang Heng took a document bag, stuffed the paper materials inside, said “thanks,” and walked out side by side with Lu Qi.
The teller took out a small mirror from under the desk, looked at her own face, and suddenly felt an indescribable melancholy…

Wang Heng brought Lu Qi to a milk tea shop.
More than half a year ago, he had worked here with Han Yixuan for many days. Although the boss had changed, the milk tea shop was almost unchanged except for the signboard name.
Ordering two cups of milk tea, Wang Heng took a sip of his and found the taste seemed no different from what he made. Looking around again, the shop’s emptiness was as usual.
“Losing money, it’s a cycle…” he couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Lu Qi asked: “What are you saying?”
Wang Heng smiled: “Right after Gaokao ended, I didn’t even have money for a low-end notebook, so I did part-time work here for a while.”
“Here?” Lu Qi widened her eyes in surprise. “Making milk tea?”
Wang Heng nodded.
Lu Qi: “You’re really multi-talented… Can you cook?”
Wang Heng still nodded: “If it’s just to fill my own stomach, a little bit.”
Lu Qi laughed: “Then next time when you have time, make some for me to try?”
Wang Heng shrugged: “If there’s an opportunity, of course no problem.”
Of course, even for cooking, he should try to bring someone along, like Han Yixuan or Pei Ningle, to avoid one-sided intimacy increase.
Lu Qi took a sip of milk tea and said again: “We’ll talk about cooking opportunities later. First, let’s discuss the investment opportunity from your earlier text message.”
Wang Heng: “Mm, business first. Do you know a company called Huatong Technology?”
Lu Qi immediately took out her mobile phone to check. From the materials on Qian Du, this company seemed to have no relation to the internet…
“Makes auto parts?”
“Right, but they’re acquiring a game company to enter the online gaming industry. You know, a large enterprise with strong cash flow entering a hot field like gaming is like giving itself a shot of adrenaline in the stock market.”
Before account opening, Wang Heng had asked the hamster, so this information was very clear to him.
But Lu Qi was naturally a bit doubtful: “But how do you know?”
Wang Heng pointed to his chest: “I learned some inside information online, of course, not the kind you see on Qian Du…”
Lu Qi probed: “Dark Web?”
Wang Heng: “No, just a friend who works at the company to be acquired. Although we met online, we have a good relationship; he leaked this information to me.”
Lu Qi thought for a moment and asked: “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more insurance to enter the market after the acquisition news is announced?”
Wang Heng immediately shook his head: “Sister Lu, you haven’t traded stocks much, so you don’t know their strategies. For such major positive news, almost certainly someone is manipulating before it’s announced, often major shareholders. Using the limit up system, they first pull several one-word limit ups, which only requires very little trading volume, and unprepared passersby can’t buy at all during this time. After several days of consecutive limit ups, attracting a lot of attention, then suddenly release the positive news, making those days’ limit ups seem very reasonable.”
Lu Qi said thoughtfully: “Then a lot of people will chase high?”
Wang Heng snapped his fingers: “Exactly. So our opportunity is only the first day. If we don’t buy this stock on the first day it resumes trading, it will be very difficult to buy later. For a one-word limit up stock, you’d probably need to place a tens of millions high-price buy order before opening to grab some.”
Lu Qi couldn’t help asking: “Are you so sure it will definitely go limit up consecutively?”
“Right, I’m that sure. Logically, this is the greatest possibility.”
Lu Qi held her milk tea in contemplation for a while, finally making up her mind: “That house I bought outright can be used to get a loan from the bank.”
Now it was Wang Heng’s turn to be slightly surprised: “So all-in? I originally just wanted to suggest using some spare money.”
Lu Qi gazed at him and said slowly: “If it were someone else telling me, I definitely wouldn’t believe it. But considering your brilliant performance…”
Wang Heng reminded: “Sister Lu, so far I’ve only been brilliant once.”
Lu Qi gritted her teeth: “So I’ll believe you this once. If we lose money and I lose my house, you’ll have to think hard about how to compensate me!”
What more could Wang Heng say?
He could only say: “Compensation? Impossible, because it’s impossible to lose! “
