In Li Li's view, how could a High School student have such far‑sighted vision?
If Ye Chen heard some rumor, Li Li might still believe it.
But calculating the stock price of a listed group so precisely isn't something ordinary people can do.
After all, many study stock trading, yet most end up bankrupt.
If stock trading could be calculated, no one would need to work; everyone could just trade stocks.
"Dad, Ye Chen's insight is spot‑on; he's never missed a beat. Do you remember the last time he traded bitcoin?"
Li Li listened with great interest.
"We just sold, and bitcoin plummeted the next day, just like the first time we bought stocks."
Li Sitong proudly recounted Ye Chen's record.
Two successful investments, plus the fact that he's her Boyfriend, made Li Sitong trust Ye Chen completely.
Li Li chuckled, "Alright, let's see if your little Boyfriend gets it right this time."
In Ye Chen's mind, Li Li still couldn't believe Ye Chen possessed such strong investment ability.
And Li Li was a little jealous.
After all, his family's "cabbage god" had been snatched away unnoticed; it's natural to feel a bit sour.
Li Li could see his daughter's trust in Ye Chen had almost turned into worship.
Li Li felt a bit indignant.
He, a chairman of a listed group, couldn't possibly be inferior to a High School student.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
"Alright, let's eat. I made your favorite braised pork today."
…Ye Chen was at home, picking up a copy of Relativity and started reading.
High School knowledge no longer satisfied Ye Chen.
So Ye Chen had already begun studying University‑level material.
With photographic memory and integrative thinking,
Ye Chen's grasp of knowledge was rapid.
He was basically finishing self‑studying University subjects.
Ye Chen just set the book down to take a shower when his phone suddenly rang.
Si Tong: "Chenchen, are you there?"
Ye Chen: "Not here."
Si Tong: "Bad guy, how can you reply on WeChat when you're not here?"
Ye Chen: "When did I ever have such a cute name?"
Si Tong: "Hehe, I think it's kinda cute to call you that."
Ye Chen didn't know that Li Sitong's daily plush toy was named Chenchen.
Holding the plush toy, Ye Chen felt as if he were squeezing his own face.
Ye Chen: "By the way, it's so late—did you summon me for something?"
Si Tong: "Let me tell you a secret, we're about to make big money."
Ye Chen: "Is that a secret? The official announcement is already out—development zone plus subway, it'd be weird if the stock didn't hit the limit up."
Si Tong: "So you already knew, huh? I still wanted to give you a little surprise."
Si Tong: "Chenchen, how did you know Tiancheng Group's land would be turned into a development zone and a subway?"
Li Sitong was also curious, so she asked.
Ye Chen: "I don't know."
For system‑related matters, Ye Chen never tells anyone, let alone admit he knows.
As long as he doesn't admit it, others have no way to prove anything.
Si Tong: "…"
Si Tong: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Li Sitong, puffed up, said, "If you didn't know, how could you have invested all that money? I'm at least among the top three at Jiangzhou Middle School, so my IQ is pretty high."
Ye Chen: "Don't ask, I'm just saying I don't know."
Ye Chen: "Besides, in my eyes you're a bit dumb, very innocent, and also sweet!"
Li Sitong: "If you dare call me a silly sweet, Ye Chen, you're dead."
While typing, Li Sitong kept waving tiny fists.
All her anger finally burst onto the Chenchen plush toy.
The little Chenchen was squashed flat.
"Bad Chenchen, you made me say I'm a silly sweet."
Si Tong: "I'm not a silly sweet; I'm a super cute little beauty."
Ye Chen: "Hmm, a silly‑sweet little beauty."
Si Tong: "Ye Chen, I can tell you, you're doomed."
Ye Chen: "Fine, I admit you're a super little beauty."
Si Tong: "No, I think you've led me astray; you're changing the subject."
Ye Chen: "Oh, you caught that, impressive."
Si Tong: "Bad guy, when I see you tomorrow, you're doomed."
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh at the little emoji Li Sitong sent.
That girl is not only cute but also a bit goofy.
The two chatted a bit longer, then went to sleep… the next morning.
In front of Jiangzhou Middle School.
Li Sitong parked her bike and happened to see Ye Chen walking toward her.
Ye Chen parked his bike, and Li Sitong came over.
Her small hand reached around Ye Chen's waist and twisted firmly.
"Ouch." Ye Chen couldn't help but let out a sound.
"Why are you twisting me?" Ye Chen said, speechless.
"You were so cocky last night, saying I'm a silly sweet?" Li Sitong huffed.
"I know I was wrong, okay?" Ye Chen pleaded.
Li Sitong's move was brutal; every twist hurt for ages.
"Hmph, let's see if you still dare say that next time." Li Sitong finally released her grip.
"Hehe, that feels satisfying."
At that moment, Xia Yingluo rode her bike to the school.
Seeing Ye Chen's pained expression, Xia Yingluo asked oddly, "Ye Chen, aren't you feeling unwell today?"
Ye Chen glanced at the mischievous Li Sitong beside him: "Nope, by the way our stocks made money, I'll treat you all to breakfast today."
The three headed toward the breakfast shop at the school gate.
There are many breakfast shops at Jiangzhou Middle School's entrance.
They're all run by students, so lots of pupils come in for breakfast.
Ye Chen brought two school flowers into the shop, instantly drawing the attention of many boys.
Seeing two beautiful school flowers flock around Ye Chen, he felt a surge of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Many people felt they were full just by eating this "dog food" breakfast.
After breakfast, it was already seven o'clock.
The three returned to school for class.
Now, teachers hardly lecture; most of the time is self‑study, and anyone can ask a teacher for help whenever needed.
At noon, Yu Weiwei ran over excitedly.
"Si Tong, your Boyfriend is amazing, our stock just hit the limit up again."
Li Sitong smiled proudly, "That's because your dad can give you a lot of pocket money again."
Yu Weiwei nodded enthusiastically.
Li Sitong looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's lunchtime, let's eat together."
Yu Weiwei: "I don't want to eat dog food with you."
Facing Li Sitong's invitation, Yu Weiwei outright refused.
Just kidding, every time she lunches with Li Sitong, Yu Weiwei doesn't even need a meal; the dog food is enough to fill her up.
"Alright then, we're leaving."
Ye Chen, Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo walked toward the cafeteria together.
best friends and all that, we've been together this long.
A short separation isn't a big deal.
You've got to keep an eye on your Boyfriend, or someone else might snatch him away.
