Ye Chen hung up the WeChat chat, but the image of Li Sitong just now still lingered in his mind.
"This girl really gave me a huge surprise."
But Li Sitong's figure was truly amazing.
Wearing that sexy nightgown, she was simply a masterpiece of the human world.
Just now, with Li Sitong wearing that nightgown, Ye Chen had seen her figure very clearly.
No wonder she became a national goddess in his past life.
Ye Chen believed he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
Over the past few days, Ye Chen decided to find a local person from the garlic warehouse area to stay informed about the situation there at all times.
One of his Cousins happened to work at that Garlic Base.
Three days later, Ye Chen called his Cousin in the evening.
"Cousin, let's play some games."
The reason Ye Chen dragged his Cousin into playing games was so he could get first-hand information on the situation there.
In the early morning hours, the US Stock Futures market would be opening.
Once Ye Chen confirmed it was raining at the Garlic Base, he could immediately buy Garlic Futures and apply leverage.
Ye Chen's plan was very thorough, one could even say it was foolproof.
The reason Ye Chen looked for his Cousin to play games was actually to verify if his memory was correct.
If a rainstorm hit in the early morning, then his memory was fine.
"Cousin, your gaming skills as a Top Student aren't bad at all."
His Cousin's teasing voice came through the headset.
Ye Chen smiled: "It's alright."
In his past life, Ye Chen used to go to internet cafes every day to play games, and his skill in CS was quite impressive.
It was just a pity that being good at games was useless in society; he could only work for others, exhausted like a dead dog.
Someone once surveyed what adults regretted most.
The number one regret was not studying hard.
Only after tasting the bitterness of society do you realize that studying back then wasn't bitter at all.
Moreover, the bitterness of studying only lasts a few years, but the bitterness of society is something you have to endure for a lifetime.
Ye Chen's eyes frequently glanced at the clock.
He was hoping for the rainstorm to arrive quickly.
Right at that moment.
Crack~!
A deafening thunderclap came through Ye Chen's headset.
"It's finally here."
Hearing this thunder, Ye Chen's spirits were lifted.
His Cousin's voice also came through the headset.
"Holy crap, it's thundering here, and it looks like it's raining outside."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt completely at ease.
His memory wasn't wrong; it was tonight.
"Is it raining hard?" Ye Chen asked.
"It's huge, it feels like someone is pouring water down from a basin. I've never seen such heavy rain in my life; it's like the sky has been punctured."
His Cousin's tone was full of shock.
"Cousin, I have something to do, I can't play with you anymore."
Ye Chen exited the game directly, even though they were only halfway through.
But it was just a game; compared to buying Futures, it was nothing.
In his past life, Ye Chen played games every day, which resulted in half a lifetime of misery.
In this life, Ye Chen would rarely touch games.
Ye Chen quickly opened the Futures website and found the option for Garlic Futures.
He directly converted 20 million into 2.85 million USD.
This included the 10 million from Ye Chen and Li Sitong, as well as Xia Yingluo's 100,000.
Although Xia Yingluo didn't have much money, Ye Chen wouldn't forget her when making money.
Then, Ye Chen began buying Garlic Futures.
The 2.85 million was quickly spent, and then he activated 20x leverage.
The price at which Ye Chen bought the garlic was 0.30 USD per kilogram.
One could say that under 20x leverage, for every ten-cent increase in the price of garlic, it would mean millions in income for Ye Chen.
The faster it grew, the more Ye Chen would earn.
After purchasing the Futures, Ye Chen began monitoring the price of garlic.
It wasn't until the Futures market closed that Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Because the rainstorm had just started in China, the market over there hadn't reacted yet.
The price remained quite stable throughout the night.
Ye Chen understood that tomorrow would be the day garlic prices skyrocketed.
After staying up all night, Ye Chen was tired and crawled straight into bed to sleep.
The Futures were already bought; Ye Chen was just waiting for the next opening for the price to surge.
Ye Chen believed that the news of the garlic warehouse disaster would soon spread.
In that case, the price of garlic would definitely skyrocket.
The next day, in the Hot Pot Restaurant, Ye Chen looked completely listless.
"Ye Chen, didn't you sleep last night? Why are you so sleepy?" Xia Yingluo said with some concern.
Li Sitong said, "Was it because you were watching the Futures all night and didn't sleep?"
Ye Chen nodded: "Yeah, I sold all our money into it yesterday, and with twenty times leverage."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Li Sitong was also startled.
Xia Yingluo didn't know what Futures or twenty times leverage were, but Li Sitong had heard her father talk about them a bit.
Futures are very risky, but if you don't use leverage, you can still stop losses.
But once leverage is activated, there's no choice; even a tiny fluctuation in price determines life or death.
With twenty times leverage, if the price dropped, the few of them would truly lose everything.
However, Li Sitong didn't care anymore.
Anyway, all this money was earned for them by Ye Chen.
Xia Yingluo didn't care either.
The two girls shared the same thought: as long as Ye Chen was happy, it was fine.
Li Sitong was wealthy and willful, while Xia Yingluo felt that her Boyfriend's choices were always right.
Ye Chen yawned: "Then you guys take the trouble to watch the shop; I'm going to take a nap."
By the time Ye Chen woke up, it was already noon.
He was woken up by Li Sitong.
"Ye Chen, time to eat."
Xia Yingluo had gone with Song Yuyu to restock.
After Ye Chen and Li Sitong finished eating, the two of them went for a stroll in the plaza.
Sitting on a bench, they watched the shimmering light on the river's surface.
Li Sitong sat on the ground, and Ye Chen's head rested on Li Sitong's long legs as he looked at the sky.
This was Li Sitong's request.
Last night, Ye Chen had stayed up all night to make money for them; it was too hard on him.
This way, Ye Chen would be more comfortable.
With his girlfriend being so considerate, Ye Chen naturally accepted it gladly.
Perhaps he was still too tired, as Ye Chen fell asleep again after a while.
Seeing Ye Chen asleep, Li Sitong took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her father.
"Dad, are you busy?"
"Of course I'm busy. Besides company matters, I also have to handle the Shared Bikes. Sigh, to make money for my daughter, your old man is really giving it his all."
Upon receiving the message, Li Li immediately replied to his daughter.
In fact, Li Li was indeed busy, but not quite that exaggeratedly; after all, he had many employees under him.
The reason Li Li said this was in the hope that his daughter would care more about her old dad.
Ever since his daughter got together with Ye Chen, Li Li could feel that her concern for him was becoming less and less.
All her energy was focused on Ye Chen.
This also made Li Li quite jealous.
The cabbage he had raised was being snatched away just like that.
Li Li smiled: "Daughter, I plan to give you a gift. How about I buy you a house in Kyoto, plus a ten-million-yuan red envelope?"
Li Sitong said: "Dad, you're not being sincere enough. I can buy a house myself, and your daughter already has ten million. Can you give me something more practical?"
Li Li: "???"
A house in Kyoto plus a ten-million-yuan red envelope isn't sincere enough?
