Chapter 496: Life Should Be Ceremonial
Su Yang was still chatting with Tang Xiaomi when Tang Jing returned home.
Tang Xiaomi looked up at Su Yang and blinked her eyes. “Su Yang, are you really going to bring me to your island to play?”
Su Yang nodded. “Of course. Let me tell you, I have an extremely big island. There are snow mountains, deserts, ponds, forests, everything you can think of on the island. However, I don’t have a pasture there…”
“Wow!” Tang Xiaomi looked at Su Yang with starry eyes. “That sounds like so much fun!”
After saying that, her eyes were filled with confusion. “That’s not right. How can there be snow mountains, deserts and forests on an island? Those are 3 completely different climates!”
Su Yang patted her head. “I’m Superman. What can Superman not do?”
Tang Xiaomi squinted at Su Yang with an expression that said, “You must be lying to me.” Su Yang burst out laughing.
Su Yang was really happy that day. Even though he did not earn as much as he had expected, all his stocks had been cleared and his total funds had reached 74,465,000 yuan.
According to the conditions of the Silver Mission, he took out 25 million yuan to buy the bank stocks, the remaining 50 million yuan was left untouched temporarily while he continued to wait for an opportunity.
He calculated his earnings from the stock market. He had earned close to 40 million yuan in 10 days. Anyone would be happy with such a result!
Tang Xiaomi looked at Su Yang and asked curiously, “Since you’re Superman, why isn’t there a pasture on your island?”
At the mention of this, Su Yang had a headache. ‘Why is that? It’s because the pasture is too expensive!
‘Snow mountain with snow monsters is only worth about 10,000 coins, but a pasture of 1 square kilometer costs 100,000 coins. This is practically a daylight robbery!
‘I’ve decided that I won’t build that pasture even if I die.
‘Yeap, even if I die!’
Just as Su Yang was explaining to Tang Xiaomi why he did not want to build a pasture with all his nonsensical excuses, the familiar sound of a sports car came from outside the villa.
Su Yang was puzzled. He looked at the time. ‘It’s only 2pm, why is Tang Jing back already?’
Su Yang patted Tang Xiaomi’s head and said, “Let’s go and take a look. Your mommy seems to be back early today.”
Tang Xiaomi also heard the sound of the car engine turning off. Without waiting for Su Yang, she broke free from his grip and ran to the garage happily. “Mommy, mommy!”
Looking at Tang Xiaomi’s cute face, Su Yang smiled and followed her.
Before they reached the garage, Su Yang saw Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi walking out.
The both of them walked with 1 behind the other. 1 of them had her mouth wide open and could not even close her mouth when she walked while the other carried a large sack and tried to drag it into the villa.
Su Yang was stunned for a moment before he hurried over and took the sack from Tang Jing.
Looking at Tang Jing’s crumpled clothes and the sweat on her forehead, Su Yang quickly took the bag. “Why are you carrying such a big bag?”
The sack was so heavy that even Su Yang was pulled along by it despite using all his strength to carry it. He could not help but ask, “What is this?”
Tang Jing picked up the sack and walked towards the living room with Su Yang. “Money.”
“Money?” Su Yang was confused. “Why do you have so much money?”
The both of them moved the money to the desk in the living room before Tang Jing answered, “To build up a business!”
Su Yang looked at Tang Jing’s serious face and was confused. “Build up a business?”
Tang Jing nodded and said firmly, “Yes! Didn’t you say you were going to build up a business with me? I borrowed all the money I could!”
Su Yang looked at the money in the sack and asked, “How much… Is this?”
Tang Jing: “6 million yuan!”
“6 million?!” Su Yang was shocked. “That much? Who did you borrow it from?”
Tang Jing looked straight into Su Yang’s eyes. “My best friend, my brother, my sister, all my relatives, friends, superiors, and… My father.”
Su Yang was speechless.
He could not help but ask, “Didn’t you have a fall out with your father?”
Tang Jing shook her head. “I didn’t fall out with him. I fell out with my stepmother. I never told my father about us, so I went straight to my father’s office today to ask him for money.”
Su Yang was speechless
“Won’t your stepmother go apes*it on you?”
Tang Jing smiled nonchalantly. There was actually a trace of a young girl’s temperament on her gentle face. “She’s definitely going to. I just thought of it last time, I’m my father’s biological daughter, so why can’t I use his money? Firstly, I’m not squandering. Secondly, I’m not investing, so what’s wrong with using my father’s money?”
“Every time, she would stand on the moral high ground to attack me. Previously, she said that I was shameless, but this time, she said that I was not motivated. I don’t believe her anymore.”
Su Yang coughed. “She might be trying to get you to work harder…”
Tang Jing shook her head. “You don’t understand her. She’s not trying to goad me. In the past, she never dared to say such things to me because she was afraid that I would really start a business in a fit of anger. She only stood on the moral high ground to attack me after she found out about my personality over the years.”
“She knew that I would not improve after hearing that and would only be angry, so she said that. When she criticized me, she might be gloating inside. This is her usual method of manipulating people.”
Su Yang asked in confusion, “But you still got reverse psychology successfully?”
Tang Jing looked at him gently. “Actually, no. Although I was very angry that day, I didn’t have any intention of starting a business. You… It was you who gave me the strength to change.”
Su Yang looked at Tang Jing’s calm eyes. For a moment, he did not know how he was going to find out the truth.
‘Anyway… Every family has their own issues.’
Su Yang could not understand the weird relationship between Tang Jing and her family.
Anyway, he was not the judge of this family drama and was just a bystander. Hence, Su Yang did not continue to dwell on the question. Instead, he changed the topic. “By the way, why did you withdraw so much money?”
Tang Jing looked at Su Yang and said seriously, “I know that I don’t need to withdraw it, but I wanted to make it feel ceremonial. This money represents my determination, so from now on, I will no longer be the old me!”
Looking at Tang Jing’s serious expression, Su Yang felt weird. ‘Did I use a special ability to change Tang Jing’s personality? Why does it feel like… She’s different from the Tang Jing I knew?’
However, since Tang Jing was so determined, Su Yang did not stop her. After all, he was not the one saving money later on…
Next, Su Yang gave Pan Zhaodi a call and told her to come over and store the money with Tang Jing.
Watching Pan Zhaodi throw the sack over her shoulder with 1 hand, Su Yang had a more direct understanding of that woman’s martial strength. ‘As expected of a woman who is able to hold herself against other little monsters in a fight!’
After Tang Jing was done, Xu Lu was done as well. Her cousin agreed to Su Yang’s suggestion and gave Su Yang the stock pool that she had been researching recently.
Actually, according to Xu Lu, her cousin did not trust Su Yang at the start. She felt that Su Yang was setting up a trap.
Her cousin also told her how to put an end to scammers with the greatest possibility, Of course… It was to refuse to do what the scammers told them to do.
Therefore, when she found out that Su Yang wanted her stock pool, although she felt that there was no problem, her first reaction was to reject him.
In order to make her cousin believe that Su Yang was not a liar, Xu Lu told her about the trend of VIMICRO for the next 2 days.
The main point was that on Monday, VIMICRO would continue to hit its upper limit, but that was the extent of it.
Her cousin did not believe it at first, but on Monday, VIMICRO really did hit its upper limit. Moreover, under her cousin’s watchful eyes, Xu Lu had sold her shares while it was at its upper limit.
Not long after she sold the stock, VIMICRO actually reopened its price and started to fluctuate.
This made Xu Lu’s cousin wonder if Su Yang was the banker or someone with insider information.
However, when she thought about Su Yang and her “bet” where she could choose any stock she wanted and Su Yang would choose the stocks that would hit its upper limit from within her stock pool, her cousin felt that it did not seem like something someone with insider information or the banker would do.
‘Could it be… He’s actually a very impressive stock trader or a strong character who has immense knowledge in stocks?’
Xu Lu’s cousin was really curious about Su Yang right at that moment. Hence, she decided to give Xu Lu the stock pool that she had been researching recently.
After Su Yang got hold of Xu Lu’s cousin’s stock pool, he immediately gave it to Little Hus so that it could sniff it out. In the end, it realized that there was indeed 1 pretty good stock inside.
‘There’s a stock called SUNDAY that seems to have been hitting its upper limit since Friday and is still the same on Monday.
‘Any stock that is able to hit its upper limit for 2 days is considered pretty good. At the very least, I’ll be able to make use of my capital before the completion of the Silver Mission.’
Therefore, Su Yang recorded the stock and planned to accumulate his stocks while verifying it for 2 days before telling Xu Lu and Xu Lu’s cousin.
As for Tang Jing, Su Yang planned to get her to accumulate her stocks after he was done verifying the next day. ‘After all, she has a lot of money and would need to join in earlier for it to work.’
After making that decision, Su Yang sorted out his current task and future development.
‘1. At this moment, I don’t know how to trigger the Platinum Mission, so the first thing to do next is to trigger the Platinum Mission. Also, I have to figure out what the [Platinum Point] is for.
‘2. The Gold Mission hasn’t been triggered yet. As the key to upgrading the system, it’s important that I pay attention to it. I’m going to have to get it triggered through the previous routine after I’m done over the next 2 days.
‘3. I already have a Silver Mission which is to own an island. I’ve already asked the middle man to look for a suitable island and I believe it will be completed soon.
‘4. [Bronze Points] and [Random Points] can now be purchased with coins. Since I’ve established the Angel Search programme, I’m able to continuously convert users into being influenced effectively. At the moment, my daily coins received have increased from 300 to 800 coins.
‘When I have sufficient coins, I’ll be able to purchase as many [Bronze Point] and [Random point] as I wish.
‘5. There’s a temporary slot for [Recipe Items], so there’s no rush for me to get working on the [Recipe Item] even though it’s just been refreshed this week.
‘6. Pool’s milk tea shop is in full swing, so there’s nothing for me to worry about there.
‘7.The Hangzhou branch of Qidian E-Commerce is already open, thanks to the 4 people whom I personally brought there to open up the market.
‘8. In terms of the film company, “Wolf Warriors” is being filmed faster and faster now, plus the special effects studio is doing its job perfectly, so there’s nothing for me to worry about.
‘9. After I’ve given Lin Jiali’s management company money, they’ve put in a lot of effort to groom the newbies and poach Han Yi. I believe there shouldn’t be any problems for it to get back on track as long as those 2 matters are resolved.
’10. The feedback from the distributors of Sanque’s oral fluids isn’t bad, but it’s not exceptional. After all, the oral serum’s “dosage” is too low, so its effects won’t be immediate since it’s going to take a longer time before it has any beneficial effects on the body.
‘However, at least the distributors have decided to push Sanque’s oral serum into the market to see how they react.
’11. The artificial Intelligence laboratory that Little Deeny has been working on has taken over all the network-related services in the company.’
There were some miniscule matters which Su Yang had jotted down in as part of his plans as well.
After writing down his next plans, Su Yang did some calculations. He realized that ever since he gave the System +3, everything that he was doing was on the right track. He did not seem to have anything urgent to do.
‘In that case, Should I… Add a point for myself?
‘I still haven’t drawn a [Silver Ability] since I obtained a [Silver Point] previously!’
