Chapter 135: Huizi Gets Promoted, and I Just Love Investing on Fridays
After Lin Feng left, Yang Qiniang and his team were still glued to the stock market trends.
Lin Feng had dumped all his money into a single stock.
Yang Qiniang, however, had been more cautious. After careful consideration, he bought two different stocks in stages.
Unlike Lin Feng, Yang Qiniang’s team couldn’t afford to be so carefree.
In the stock market, a stock’s future trend is always the greatest unknown.
So, they were all quietly waiting for the right opportunity.
As Yang Qiniang watched Lin Feng leave, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.
It wasn’t that he envied Lin Feng for leaving early.
He envied Lin Feng’s state of mind.
Yang Qiniang had always believed that, having seen his fair share of ups and downs from a young age, his tolerance for pressure was much stronger than the average person’s.
But after actually sinking those fifty million into the stock market, Yang Qiniang realized he was completely incapable of waiting calmly.
At the slightest sign of trouble, Yang Qiniang would grow tense.
It was only then that Yang Qiniang truly understood just how terrifying Lin Feng’s composure over the last two days had been.
’Such focus, such immense mental fortitude.’
’It’s truly admirable.’
As Lin Feng was leaving the company, he ran into Huizi, who was carrying a stack of documents.
Huizi greeted Lin Feng.
It was clear that Huizi was adjusting well to her new role at Lin Feng’s company.
Lin Feng suddenly remembered he had sent his three core team members over to Yang Qiniang.
As a result, his office was now missing a clerk to organize materials and deliver documents.
Seeing Huizi now, Lin Feng paused, then turned and walked over to her. "Go speak with HR. Starting tomorrow, you’ll report to my office."
"I need a secretarial assistant."
Having said his piece, Lin Feng turned and left the company.
After all, in Lin Feng’s mind, Huizi was competent enough.
And the work wasn’t particularly technical.
She should be able to get the hang of it quickly.
With that in mind, Lin Feng had given the order casually.
Huizi, however, was left standing there, completely dumbfounded.
She never imagined she’d be promoted to Lin Feng’s office so soon after joining.
During her time at the company, Huizi had first spent some time familiarizing herself with its basic operations.
Since Huizi had been sent over directly by Lin Feng, Yang Qiniang hadn’t even bothered with an internship contract, putting her directly on a permanent one.
Huizi knew that becoming a secretarial assistant in Lin Feng’s office was a huge promotion.
HR didn’t give her any trouble.
After all, it was an order from Lin Feng, so they sorted out the paperwork in a single day.
Huizi was so excited she couldn’t sleep all night.
She didn’t waste the time, either.
Having been to the office before, Huizi was well aware that Lin Feng was currently investing in the stock market.
So, she spent the night gathering relevant information and doing a lot of homework.
By the time Lin Feng arrived at the company, Huizi was already waiting for him in the office.
Lin Feng arrived just as the stock market was opening.
He entered his office and saw Huizi already at her post, not the least bit surprised.
"Print out the information on this stock for me," Lin Feng ordered directly.
Huizi immediately did as she was told and prepared the relevant materials.
As soon as the market opened, the stock Lin Feng had bought the day before began to soar.
No one had expected a stock that had already been rising for days to climb to such heights today.
Yet, the higher it climbed, the fewer people dared to chase it.
With no one chasing the high, it also meant that no one was looking to sell off large quantities in the short term.
This, in turn, allowed the stock’s price to continue its ascent.
Before the midday close, the stock had, incredibly, hit its limit up!
Hitting the daily limit isn’t a common occurrence in the stock market.
No one had thought a stock like this would hit its limit in a single day.
What shocked Huizi even more was that Lin Feng had precisely sold off the stock just moments before it hit the limit.
Ten percent.
Such a frightening rate of return.
This meant that with Lin Feng’s capital of nearly one hundred and fifty million, he had earned fifteen million in a single day.
It was a terrifyingly large number.
The moment Huizi saw the rate of return, she was completely stunned.
She quickly did the math in her head.
’Isn’t that an income of over ten million a day?’
’And a monthly income of over a hundred million?’
’That’s insane!’
The speed at which he was making money truly startled Huizi.
But Lin Feng merely glanced at the numbers on the report, his expression calm.
Then he immediately reinvested the entire sum into another stock.
"Mr. Lin... the market is closed tomorrow and the day after... It’s so risky to invest everything right now..."
Huizi hesitated for a moment before speaking up, mustering her courage.
In truth, the reason Lin Feng was willing to dump all his money into the market right before the end of the trading week was because of his system.
Today was, in fact, Friday.
In the Celestial Dynasty’s stock market, trading is only open from Monday to Friday.
Generally, very few people make large-scale investments on a Friday.
This is because no one can predict what major news or unexpected events might occur over the weekend.
Such events can easily cause volatility when the market opens the following week.
Therefore, neither large financial institutions nor individual retail investors typically choose to buy at this time.
Huizi’s question came from a place of normal caution and confusion.
But none of these issues mattered to Lin Feng.
Because just this Friday morning, as soon as Lin Feng opened his eyes, he had discovered that the stock market trend prediction chart provided by his system had updated.
He was now looking at the prediction chart for the entire next week.
This meant that while Friday was an inadvisable time for others to invest, for Lin Feng, it was the complete opposite.
Friday was his best opportunity to invest.
He could perfectly predict the market trends for every single day of the coming week.
This meant he could buy in at a low point on Friday and then sell high sometime during the following week.
Therefore, Lin Feng didn’t have to worry about the same things that troubled ordinary people.
After all, they didn’t have a system.
"Don’t worry. I happen to like investing on Fridays," Lin Feng said calmly.
He then had Huizi select a stock from the pharmaceutical sector and invested all his funds into it.
All one hundred and sixty million.
It was the first time Huizi had seen Lin Feng make such a massive, unhesitating investment.
Although the future profits and losses had nothing to do with her, seeing Lin Feng throw around such vast sums of money, Huizi was still left shaken.
Her hand trembled slightly as she relayed the order.
Once the stock was purchased, Lin Feng gave a slight nod. "Alright. You can go home after you finish organizing the other materials."
With that, Lin Feng left the office to find Yang Qiniang.
Huizi glanced at the time.
The Celestial Dynasty’s stock market closed at 3:00 PM.
It was only 2:30.
She hadn’t expected that working in Lin Feng’s office meant her hours would be so unexpectedly flexible.
How unexpected.
