When the group returned to the dorm after the family meeting, it was already past 8 pm.
As soon as Su Qi set foot in Dorm 507, she received a call from her fourth brother, Su Siyang.
This made Su Qi even more certain that there was a connection between Officer Zhang Ru and her brother.
Su Qi felt that before long, she would have another sister-in-law. Thinking about the very gentle Officer Zhang Ru becoming her sister-in-law, Su Qi felt overjoyed.
Since Yang Zongfan had already been detained and Su Qi was unharmed, Officer Zhang Ru had informed Su Siyang. Therefore, most of Su Siyang's inquiries were about follow-up handling methods.
Su Qi told him not to worry. After all, her wife Wang Yun had already patted her chest and guaranteed to take care of it.
Su Qi was quite confident in Wang Yun's capabilities.
After instructing her fourth brother not to tell their parents to avoid worrying them, Su Qi hung up the phone.
After the call, in order to shift focus from the earlier Pinocchio meeting, Su Qi opened her computer to look at the day's stock market.
Like the early stages of a bull market, the day was still a fiery red.
Su Qi clicked open the forum to check. It was also a day of joyous celebration for the stock investors.
Due to the bull market, stock investors had recently earned more or less.
Unlike the real world's principle of not flaunting wealth, the desire to show off earnings is human nature.
So the forums and message boards had become sharing grounds for big shots from all walks of life.
Recently, everyone was caught up in the frenzy, showing off their gains. Su Qi found an interesting post. Someone called "Melon-Eating Farmer."
First, he showed his cumulative earnings from a week ago: lost 180,000 yuan, outperforming 10% of users nationwide.
Then he started complaining about his lack of stock trading talent, wondering if he should quit the stock market, and so on.
At this point, many people who had made money began to console him and share photos, commenting, "I only made a bit of money," and started sharing stock trading tips.
By the time it reached 100 replies, this "Melon-Eating Farmer," after the day's market close, posted his cumulative earnings again: profit of 130,000 yuan!
This instantly incited the anger of many stock buddies.
They originally thought he was just a stinky fish, but didn't expect he was actually pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
After a wave of complaints, some expressed wanting to learn and see the order forms.
Others wanted to become his disciple, and even more said, "Master, please recommend stocks."
In just over a hundred replies, the tone had drastically changed three times.
Seeing this transformation, Su Qi found it both amusing and felt the stock market was even more unfathomable.
Why unfathomable?
Because this forum poster eventually did recommend a stock.
The stock he recommended, Su Qi had researched before. Although its current candlestick chart showed a good trend, it lacked sufficient momentum and was quite prone to stepping on air.
Of course, this was the conclusion Su Qi reached after reading the company's real financial statements.
In fact, whether this "Melon-Eating Farmer" poster sincerely wanted to recommend this stock or was a shill for some capitalist, Su Qi didn't know.
However, seeing that there were indeed people buying the stock based on his analysis, Su Qi felt the latter was more likely.
Recently, Su Qi had been browsing many posts like this.
It wasn't that she wanted to see interesting stories in the stock market, but rather wanted to find some intriguing clues, such as this poster on floor 237.
Special Bro 237: Melon-Eating Master, the "Jade Rabbit" stock I bought has only been pulling up 0.6-1.7 points per day even as the broader market is soaring. Should I sell it? But I heard this company is going to partner with "China Hui Jewelry" recently. Will it surge?
Su Qi, seeing the "Jade Rabbit Jade" stock appear on her computer with its sluggish candlestick chart resembling an elderly person's pulse, felt extremely familiar.
Because this was a stock she was particularly bullish on.
This stock had undergone three rounds of financing in February, April, and July of this year, with a total financing amount of 800 million yuan. Frankly, 800 million in funds was a bit frightening for the GEM board.
However, it defied everyone's expectations.
After three rounds of financing, this stock never changed much, and even slid down a bit after careful calculation.
And now with the bull market underway and the broader market pulled up to this stage, it was only symbolically rising about 1 point per day, as if just playing around.
This made everyone quite anxious. Some said this stock was like a volcano about to erupt, while others said the boss had run off with the money and his mistress.
But in any case, the comment section under this stock had already been sprayed with a torrent of abuse. Many investors had the same impulse as Special Bro—holding on while watching others make money, or selling after holding for so long, which would be a pity if it didn't surge.
After the dilemma, they sought advice everywhere like this.
Su Qi didn't persuade this forum friend to continue holding, because she knew that in message boards, the best way to convince people was to first show off your own track record (order forms).
And in the stock trading world, order forms, stock picks, and profit amounts were equivalent to real-world bank cards. Who wouldn't want to show off their balance a bit?
Su Qi wasn't a high-profile person and just wanted to be a little transparent figure, so she didn't reply.
However, through Special Bro's words, she looked up information on China Hui Jewelry, which was about to partner with Jade Rabbit Jade. After some checking, she found there was indeed a partnership.
Su Qi could only sigh at how immense the insider information in the stock market was. It was clearly a partnership, but only one party had released a cryptic announcement.
After looking at the two companies' financial statements for the past two months, Su Qi became even more certain that this Jade Rabbit stock would rise strongly in the near future.
Incidentally, this result almost coincided with her estimate from summer vacation.
Su Qi wanted to continue looking to see if any forum friends knew some useful gossip.
But then she felt a warm little hand cover her eyes, followed by Xiao Xiaoxiao's loli voice, "Sister Su, guess who I am?"
With her eyes covered, Su Qi felt the little girl was just too cute.
She decisively closed her computer, then climbed onto the bed with her adorable little wife.
On the top bunk, Xiao Xiaoxiao swiftly burrowed into Su Qi's embrace, and her two little hands deftly slipped into Su Qi's silk pajamas, hugging her tightly.
Su Qi lifted the little girl's body a bit higher, because this way she could avoid breathing difficulties.
But at this moment, she saw the little girl make a very strenuous movement, her mouth involuntarily letting out a grunt.
This drew the gaze of everyone in Dorm 507, thinking she was uncomfortable somewhere.
But they soon saw Xiao Xiaoxiao take out that pink little piggy bank from inside her panda pajamas and say, "Sister Su, look, our child is born!"
Seeing this scene, everyone had mixed feelings of laughter and tears. They had thought the little girl was in discomfort, but didn't expect she was playing house.
Su Qi just felt it was so cute. After patting Xiao Xiaoxiao's little head, she turned off the dorm lights.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, perhaps due to being overly excited from scheming that day, fell asleep before long while smelling Su Qi's faint fragrance.
However, even in sleep, her little hand held the little piggy bank, the child she and Su Qi had just birthed.
Su Qi, gazing at this scene in the night, felt her little wife was just too adorable.
She was clearly still a child herself, yet she wanted to have a child of her own.
But having kids? Sounds pretty nice too. And it seemed like the system girl had also mentioned it before. What did she say again?
Lost in thought, Su Qi held Xiao Xiaoxiao's soft, fragrant little body and also drifted off to dreamland.
