This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Just as she expected.

Chen Mo instantly understood what she meant.

She meant she would take the pill she bought after 72 hours.

Within those 72 hours, there would be "surprises."

As for how many "surprises" Chen Mo wanted, that was up to him.

In any case, she would obediently cooperate.

He had to admit, Pan Kejia really knew how to be seductive.

She’d apparently never even dated before, but she was learning incredibly fast.

’Maybe it’s a natural talent,’ he thought.

"You’re such a lightweight. How many surprises can you really give me?"

Chen Mo patted her perky bottom, finding it rather amusing.

’Up to my performance?’

’With a lightweight like Pan Kejia, how could he possibly go all out?’

"Is that my fault?"

Pan Kejia froze for a moment, then shot him a flirtatious glare.

She had forgotten about that.

But she couldn’t be blamed. Who asked Chen Mo to be so gifted?

If Chen Mo really went all out, she’d be completely wrecked. Forget 72 hours.

"If you’re weak, you just need more practice."

Chen Mo glanced at her and decided to give her some more "training" to raise the intensity.

With that, Chen Mo pulled her back onto the "racetrack."

This time, however, Chen Mo "drove" slowly, so they didn’t wear helmets or seatbelts.

It felt much more relaxed.

「Down in the hotel lobby.」

It was already past ten o’clock at night.

Shen Qingying was still sitting in the lobby’s rest area, but she had yet to see Chen Mo, the person she was eagerly waiting for.

’Did he not come?’

A flicker of doubt crossed her beautiful eyes.

But then she thought about it and felt it was unlikely. Since he’d booked the presidential suite, he would definitely come to stay.

Otherwise, just booking it without staying... even for a Purple-Gold VIP, wouldn’t that be a bit too extravagant?

Yet, she had been waiting since noon and still hadn’t seen Chen Mo.

"Ms. Shen, we do have other rooms available at the hotel. You can book one right now if you need."

The young lady from the front desk came over, poured her a glass of water, and said with a smile.

She had noticed Shen Qingying sitting there for almost the entire day. It was past ten at night, and she was still there. The receptionist thought Shen Qingying was upset about not getting the presidential suite.

"It seems the gentleman who competed with me for the presidential suite today hasn’t checked in?"

Shen Qingying asked the front desk lady tentatively.

"Mr. Chen checked in a long time ago."

The receptionist gave her a baffled look.

Not long ago, she had even received a call from Mr. Chen in his room, asking for housekeeping to change the bedsheets.

He said he’d accidentally spilled water on the bed while drinking.

Hearing this, Shen Qingying faltered.

She quickly realized that Chen Mo must have taken the elevator straight up from the underground garage.

"Thank you. I’ll come back tomorrow to book a room."

She picked up her bag, stood up, and walked out of the hotel.

Watching her leave, the front desk lady had a confused look in her eyes, wondering what was wrong with her.

’I missed my chance. I wonder if I’ll ever see him again.’

After leaving the hotel, a look of disappointment flashed in Shen Qingying’s eyes.

...

「Early the next morning.」

Chen Mo woke up bright and early.

After waking up, he noticed something very important.

There was no "DING!" this morning.

’Is the turning point for Xinggui Film and Television coming?’

Chen Mo immediately realized that Xinggui Film and Television’s stock was about to stop falling.

But the turning point probably wouldn’t happen before the market closed today.

Based on his previous experience, the turnaround would either happen after the market closed today...

...or it would happen tomorrow.

Because tomorrow was the 25th, the day of the first solo online concert for Xinggui Film and Television’s virtual idol, Qiluo.

’I can start buying in before the market closes today.’

Chen Mo now had a clear plan.

After waking up, the self-disciplined man did about an hour of cardio in the presidential suite.

After his workout, Chen Mo and Pan Kejia left the presidential suite together.

「In the elevator.」

"So, how are you feeling?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, teasing her.

"There can still be surprises today."

Pan Kejia assessed her own "condition," linked her arm with his, and rested her head on his shoulder with a smile.

"Not bad. You’ve improved."

Chen Mo smiled, nodded, and praised her.

"Improved?"

Pan Kejia rolled her eyes at him.

That was only because Chen Mo hadn’t revved the engine to its maximum.

Otherwise, she would have stalled out long ago.

’Improvement?’

’As long as her boyfriend was Chen Mo, she’d never be able to "improve" in this lifetime.’

’But her boyfriend could only ever be Chen Mo.’

She had said before that as long as Xia Shiqing didn’t break up with him, she wouldn’t break up with Chen Mo either.

But now, her feelings seemed to have quietly changed.

Even if Xia Shiqing and Chen Mo were to separate, she would want to stay with him...

"DING-DONG."

The elevator arrived at the first basement level, and the doors opened.

Chen Mo and Pan Kejia walked out of the elevator and got into their respective cars.

Pan Kejia drove to work, while Chen Mo drove home.

After getting home, the first thing he did was check the stock market for the day.

Xinggui Film and Television, needless to say, was still limit down at -10%.

After five consecutive limit downs, Xinggui Film and Television’s stock price, which was originally at 23 yuan per share...

...was now only 13.58 yuan per share.

Since it had already bottomed out, there was nothing more to say. It was time to buy the dip.

Before buying in, however, he first sent a WeChat message to Xia Shiqing.

"Have you decided whether you’re going to switch jobs?"

If she was set on leaving her company, then she shouldn’t buy the stock with him.

She couldn’t take the performance bonus with her anyway.

"I’ve made up my mind. I’m staying at Xihe."

"I don’t want to sign a non-compete agreement, and I don’t want to wait two years. I want to be there to help you on the very first day you start your company."

Xia Shiqing replied quickly.

Seeing Xia Shiqing’s message, Chen Mo’s finger hovered over the screen, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Honestly, Xia Shiqing’s choice had taken him by surprise.
