This Bad Luck is Awesome!

This woman’s name was Pan Kejia.

Her father had arranged for her to work under Xia Shiqing.

The plan was to learn the ropes from Xia Shiqing, then use her family’s help to rack up some achievements.

Then, she would find an opportunity to push Xia Shiqing out and take her position.

But Xia Shiqing was very capable, and her performance had always been excellent.

She rarely made mistakes at work, which made ousting her extremely difficult.

Originally, Pan Kejia hadn’t had a clue how to proceed.

But now, for some unknown reason, Xia Shiqing had lost her mind and wanted to buy Ruisheng Pharmaceutical!

Wasn’t this just serving herself up on a platter?

"Supervisor Xia, as the head of a department, you must consider the company’s interests with every investment. You can’t just act based on personal preference and judgment."

"We’re all professionals here, and we all know Ruisheng Pharmaceutical’s current situation is far from optimistic. Buying in at a time like this is too high-risk."

Naturally, Pan Kejia wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. She immediately began lecturing Xia Shiqing from the company’s standpoint.

Although she still addressed Xia Shiqing respectfully as "Supervisor," her tone held not a trace of respect.

Hearing Pan Kejia’s words, the others in the conference room nodded in agreement.

The high risk of Ruisheng Pharmaceutical was obvious to anyone with eyes.

"Risk?"

Xia Shiqing sneered. "If you’re afraid of risk, then you should all find a new profession."

As long as you’re trading, you’re facing risk.

If you’re scared of risk, you might as well not work at all. We can all just starve.

"Of course risk is a part of investing, but the risk with Ruisheng Pharmaceutical is just too great."

Pan Kejia was taken aback by Xia Shiqing’s retort, her expression stiffening, but she remained firm in her opposition.

She knew her words wouldn’t influence Xia Shiqing’s decision.

Once Xia Shiqing set her mind on something, she would definitely see it through.

But Pan Kejia had to make her own stance crystal clear.

The meeting was being recorded.

In the future, when Ruisheng Pharmaceutical imploded and Xia Shiqing was held accountable, the meeting minutes would show that she had been vehemently against it.

This way, she might just be able to push Xia Shiqing out and smoothly take her position.

"You don’t need to teach me that. I have confidence in Ruisheng Pharmaceutical."

Xia Shiqing shot her a cold glance, her tone resolute. "We will now allocate funds to buy Ruisheng Pharmaceutical."

"Make sure it’s done before the market closes today. If any problems arise from this investment later, I will take full responsibility!"

She gave the direct order and proactively took responsibility.

If there were problems, she alone would bear the blame.

But if there were no problems, and it resulted in a huge success...

...then the credit would also be hers alone.

The meeting was being recorded.

Everyone had opposed her, but she had gone against the crowd, relying on her sharp, unique insight and extraordinary courage to choose the unfavored Ruisheng Pharmaceutical.

A success story like this would significantly boost her reputation in the financial circle, especially here in Lujiazui.

’If I can pull this off a few more times,’ she thought, ’I might be able to leverage these successes to jump to a top-tier firm.’

’By then, whoever wants this supervisor position at a small firm can have it. I certainly won’t care for it anymore.’

"Understood."

Hearing Xia Shiqing’s determined tone, everyone knew the matter was settled.

They all harbored their own ulterior motives.

Some were waiting to watch her fail.

Others were plotting how to climb the ladder.

As for Pan Kejia, if this hadn’t been a conference room, she would have been tempted to pop a bottle of champagne.

She was certain that this was the end for Xia Shiqing.

Although everyone had their own thoughts and schemes...

...they still carried out Xia Shiqing’s orders to the letter.

Soon, just before the market closed, they purchased shares of Ruisheng Pharmaceutical as she had demanded.

When Chen Mo bought into Ruisheng Pharmaceutical with his small sum of money, it didn’t even make a ripple.

But when Xia Shiqing entered the market with the firm’s own capital, it immediately caught the attention of many.

After all, everyone was aware of Ruisheng Pharmaceutical’s situation.

For a financial institution to suddenly jump in at a time like this would naturally attract a lot of attention.

From retail investors and other institutions alike.

There are no secrets in the financial world.

Many people from different companies were in the same group chats, forming countless little cliques.

"You guys really bought Ruisheng Pharmaceutical? What were you thinking?"

"Don’t tell me you got some inside info?"

"What inside info? We’re all baffled. Our supervisor insisted on buying Ruisheng Pharmaceutical, and there was nothing we could do."

"Sigh, if this investment loses money, you can kiss our bonuses goodbye again."

"I remember your supervisor is a real beauty, right? She’s probably done for this time."

"Maybe she’s been praised too much and let it go to her head."

"Relying on her family to get a few results, and she thinks she’s Warren Buffett. She still hasn’t taken a real beating from the market."

"..."

Many people were gossiping about it, and even some of Xia Shiqing’s own subordinates were popping up in chats to complain.

It wasn’t something that could be kept secret anyway.

When you make such a large-scale purchase, how could anyone not know?

But judging from the discussions, it was clear that almost everyone was baffled by Xia Shiqing’s move.

No one was optimistic about her decision; they were even beginning to doubt her abilities and past achievements.

As more and more people discussed the matter, the news slowly reached the middle and upper management of other firms in the circle.

Even the chairman of Xia Shiqing’s company received a call from a friend, who laughed about him having such a hard-headed ’general’ under his command.

After learning the details, the chairman was furious, believing that Xia Shiqing was being utterly reckless.

But the market had already closed, and it was a Friday, so there was nothing he could do.

Besides, with a stock like Ruisheng Pharmaceutical, it was easy to buy in...

...but getting out would be difficult.

Especially with such a large amount of capital involved.

Xia Shiqing’s willful investment was almost guaranteed to be a loss.

He planned to wait until Monday, then call a high-level meeting to discuss how to handle Xia Shiqing.

This time, even if one of the partners was Xia Shiqing’s relative, they would have absolutely nothing to say in her defense.

In addition, many people contacted insiders at Ruisheng Pharmaceutical, trying to find out if there was some inside news.

But the people at Ruisheng Pharmaceutical were just as confused, having no idea why an institution would be buying their stock.

’If there were any inside news, wouldn’t we know about it ourselves?’

The atmosphere at the company was bleak; some employees were already planning to pack up and bail.

Did that look like a company with good inside news?

...

While at home reading the group chats, Chen Mo also saw the discussions about the incident.

"Whoa, she’s famous now."

He chuckled. Xia Shiqing had truly become famous this time.

But there’s good fame and bad fame.

Chen Mo knew that this time, it was definitely a good thing.

DING~

Just then, a WeChat message arrived from Xia Shiqing.

"I’ve really bet my entire career on this one."

Seeing this message, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.

’Trying to be like me?’ he thought.

But her words showed that Xia Shiqing knew many people were waiting to see her fail.

The pressure on her right now must be immense.

"Don’t worry. If you really do ruin your career, I’ll support you,"

Chen Mo typed back confidently.

"? This wasn’t a setup from the very beginning, was it?"

"You guessed it."

"Forget it. Even if it is a setup, I’ll accept it. If I can’t make it in finance, I’ll just go into showbiz. A company actually wanted to sign me a while ago."

Seeing Xia Shiqing’s reply, Chen Mo completely lost it.

’Damn, she even has her escape route planned out.’

Then again, with her looks and figure, she could probably make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

"Don’t worry. Just wait for the good news at home. I’m still waiting for you to use your honey trap on me."

Chen Mo smiled and sent her the message.

"Hmph. Men."
