Chapter 487: I advise you to stop early.
Han Xiaoxiao, after a day on the train, felt a bit sleepy and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.
Tang Feng, on the other hand, continued to check the stock trading app.
After a quick screening, he soon found another stock worth investing in.
This stock was called “Splendid Real Estate,” and it was going to experience a surge the next day.
He was just about to call Jiang Zi when, unexpectedly, she had already called him first, which could be considered a sort of telepathy.
“Tang Feng, where are you now?” As soon as Jiang Zi connected, she couldn’t wait to ask.
“I… am with a friend,” Tang Feng turned his head to glance at Han Xiaoxiao beside him, the woman sleeping soundly, her little head resting on his shoulder, and, incredibly, a string of drool was even making its way out of the corner of her mouth.
He grabbed her clothes to wipe off the drool, but it imdiately dribbled out again.
“A friend? Male or female?” Jiang Zi’s voice suddenly tensed up, taking on a combative stance.
“Female… there are males too, what’s up?” Tang Feng began to reply but then quickly changed his answer.
He had learned to be crafty by now. Sotis, telling a few harmless white lies was necessary, otherwise, endless troubles would ensue.
As expected, Jiang Zi’s tone imdiately relaxed, “Nothing, I was thinking of asking you out for dinner, but since you’re with your friends, forget it.”
“Why the sudden invitation to dinner?” Tang Feng asked with a laugh.
“Of course, to thank you. Following your advice, I made over ten million in a week. Just today, I earned two million. You’re my God of Wealth now, I definitely need to butter you up,” Jiang Zi said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
“A minor matter, not worth ntioning.”
For soone whose fortune had reached over a billion, indeed ten million was not substantial.
With his current wealth, although he didn’t dare to swagger through Zhonghai, he certainly had gained a level of confidence.
Jiang Zi was about to tease him further when suddenly a muffled female voice ca through the phone, “Who are you talking to?”
The voice sounded as though it ca from soone just waking from sleep.
Jiang Zi imdiately beca alert, “Is there soone… beside you?”
“A female friend who just arrived in Zhonghai… Oh right, I’ve just identified another stock to invest in; I’ll send you the code later. As soon as the market opens tomorrow, put all your funds into it.”
“Okay, I got it. Your friend…”
“When buying in, make sure to control the pace well; we’re dealing with a considerable amount of money, don’t draw too much attention,” he cut her off.
“Alright, I’ll be careful. Your friend…”
“Well… my signal isn’t very good; I have to hang up now.”
Tang Feng didn’t give Jiang Zi a chance to pry further and hung up the call.
Shoot, what kind of situation is this?
He was single as could be, yet why did it feel like he was having an affair?
“Who were you talking to just now?” Han Xiaoxiao asked, rubbing her bleary eyes.
“Just a friend,” Tang Feng replied nonchalantly.
“Girlfriend?” Han Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously.
“No, just an ordinary friend,” Tang Feng said truthfully, yet for so reason, he felt a twinge of guilt.
Luckily, Han Xiaoxiao didn’t probe any further. “Listening to your call just now, are you trading stocks?”
“Yes.” Tang Feng nodded, acknowledging he knew this chatterbox was about to start lecturing again.
As expected, Han Xiaoxiao imdiately beca serious, “Tang Feng, I advise you to quit sooner rather than later, the risks in stock trading are very high. I know a lot of people who’ve lost money in the stock market, the worst even went bankrupt and leaped from buildings. There are many ways to make money, why choose one so high-risk…”
Her adorable little face conjured the image of a little old lady preaching, an incongruity that left Tang Feng not sure whether to laugh or cry.
“It can’t be that serious, can it?” Tang Feng instantly regretted his words, knowing another round of her offensive was about to comnce.
He was right, Han Xiaoxiao began analyzing the dangers of stock trading from all angles.
If it weren’t for their old friendship, Tang Feng really felt like kicking her out of the car.
Fortunately, the taxi soon arrived at the hotel, which finally gave her a reason to stop.
The hotel Sun Haiyang had found for her was called Ruida Hotel, indeed a very upscale five-star hotel.
Various luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and the hotel guests were all fashionably dressed attractive n and won.
Tang Feng and Han Xiaoxiao walked shoulder to shoulder into the hotel, drawing countless eyes their way.
With Han Xiaoxiao’s appearance, even if set against the entertainnt industry’s standards, she’d be top-tier.
No matter where she went, she was the absolute center of attention.
“Hello, I had previously reserved a room here; I’ve co to get the keycard,” Han Xiaoxiao said to the receptionist.
The staff mber asked for her reservation number, checked their records, then looked at her apologetically, “Miss, I’m terribly sorry, but the room you ntioned already has guests staying in it.”
“What?”
Han Xiaoxiao imdiately felt dumbfounded. “How could that be? My friend helped reserve it.”
The staff mber smiled apologetically again, “Our system doesn’t make mistakes. Perhaps you could double-check with your friend to see if he got the room number wrong?”
Han Xiaoxiao had no choice but to call Sun Haiyang, “Sun Haiyang, didn’t you say you booked a room in advance? How co the hotel is saying that soone else is already staying in the room you booked?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone before Sun Haiyang’s apologetic voice ca through: “Xiaoxiao, I’m really sorry. My cousin said that, with the National Day Holiday here, rooms are tight, and he couldn’t reserve one for us…”
“Then why didn’t you say sothing earlier?”
“I… I didn’t know how to explain it to you, sorry. Look, you book a room yourself for now, and I’ll repay you for the room rate when I arrive tomorrow.”
Hearing his words, Han Xiaoxiao was on the verge of tears.
She was initially against the idea of Sun Haiyang booking the room for her but insisted, almost as if letting him do it was proof she believed in him.
She had no choice but to entrust the task to him.
Who would have imagined that he would be so unreliable, causing her such embarrassnt?
