Chapter 40 Can you please stop making so much money?
Li Chao did not participate in morning reading or evening self-study, making him an outlier in the class.
Considering that he scored a super high score of almost 660 in his first mock exam, it seems reasonable to everyone that he now has some privileges.
Top students are always right no matter what they do.
Meanwhile, the "top student" who was always worried about having his walls covered in plaster has put all his energy into studying after discovering that the "Breaking the Game" dragon has been activated.
He frequently recited Chinese texts, even searching for classical Chinese texts from junior high school online, copying them down, and memorizing them.
The college entrance examination may include content from classical Chinese texts from junior high school, and there are also many related dictation exercises in regular exams.
With Wen He's review materials, Li Chao frequently did practice questions, even after returning to his residence after dinner.
……
"Wen He, there's something I want to talk to you about. Do you think someone who is good at studying and also very good at making money would be especially popular with girls?"
Wen He quickly replied, "How does she look?"
"And he happens to be quite handsome."
"Of course! Being good at studying means that the other person is still young. It's normal for them to be popular while they are still studying and they can earn a lot of money. They are also handsome."
Qin Nuanyang: "...Wen He, tell me the truth, what do you think of me?"
"Sister Nuanyang is definitely the best in the world. She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and loyal. If I were a guy, I would definitely be her devoted admirer."
"Stop talking nonsense and try to see things from their perspective."
"Who is it? Li Chao's stance?"
"Then... let's assume it's him." Qin Nuanyang would never admit to liking Li Chao. On one hand, she was afraid of being beaten by her father, on the other hand, she was afraid of being laughed at by Li Chao, and at the same time, she was afraid of making things worse.
Wen He: "Sister Nuanyang, from Li Chao's perspective, what's your relationship with him? You two have been playing together since childhood, it's not an exaggeration to say you're childhood sweethearts, right?"
"Uh...actually, we didn't play much. We didn't talk much before, and I don't remember much about what happened when we were little, but he remembers it very clearly, even things that happened when he was three years old."
Wen He: "..."
She didn't quite believe that anyone could remember something from when they were three years old so clearly, and thought it was most likely that Li Chao was just trying to coax Qin Nuanyang. However, she quickly replied, "So, even if you don't acknowledge the childhood sweetheart relationship, he definitely does. The fact that he acknowledges even this proves what?"
"What does that mean?"
"Sister Nuanyang, you're beautiful. Not only are there few girls prettier than you in the whole school, but even in the whole county, can you find ten? Not to mention you have such a great figure, a cheerful personality, and are generous. No matter what kind of girl Li Chao meets in the future, none of them are worthy of competing with you. As long as you're willing to take the initiative, how could Li Chao possibly like someone else?"
"What? There are plenty of girls online who are prettier than me."
"They all use level 10 beauty filters. You only see their glamorous appearance on camera, you don't know the pain they go through when putting on makeup and editing photos. Sister Nuanyang, you can compete with them even without makeup, believe in yourself, you'll definitely succeed!"
"Oh……"
Qin Nuanyang didn't know what to say next. Although it wouldn't be a big deal to talk to Wen He about Li Chao's stock trading, and Wen He certainly wouldn't go around telling others, there was always a chance of something going wrong.
Talking to Wen He did not alleviate her anxiety.
Because... Li Chao made too much money.
On September 20th, Li Chao's stock trading account already had 9 yuan.
She watched helplessly as the stock Li Chao bought hit its daily limit again just minutes after the market opened, earning him 10,000 yuan that very day.
Ten thousand a day! If he keeps earning like this, and adds the bonus Li Chao will receive after getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, will he still need to borrow money from his family to buy a house in Beijing?
If I don't lend him money, what reason do I have to go to him?
I should have known better than to lend him my securities account; he can't do it now anyway.
During this period, Qin Nuanyang watched the money increase in the account every day, and at first she was happy for Li Chao, but later she became more and more panicked.
In her eyes, Li Chao's only flaw was that he was poor. He had no family to help him, and his living expenses were paid by his own family. She was sure that his family would also pay for his living expenses in college.
Even if you get into Tsinghua or Peking University and receive hundreds of thousands of yuan in prize money, it's not enough to buy a house in Beijing; you still need your family's help.
He must feel a little guilty since we've helped him so much.
If you feel a little guilty, it's not unreasonable to marry yourself, right?
Anyone who values loyalty would do the same, right?
Okay, even if Li Chao isn't that loyal, at least he won't hate me, right? Then I can go to Beijing to find a job, spend every day with him, and maybe we'll develop feelings for each other over time, right?
He can't possibly insist on finding a girlfriend from Tsinghua or Peking University, can he? Her IQ is already so high, her future children will definitely be intelligent too. It would be much better for her to find someone a little less intelligent than himself.
It's not necessarily a good thing that girls from Tsinghua and Peking Universities are highly intelligent; they can be quite cunning, unlike someone as reliable as myself.
……
After school on Friday, Li Chao waited for Qin Nuanyang in the square near the teaching building.
Normally, Qin Nuanyang would come down first and wait for him, but today Qin Nuanyang didn't come down at all.
Li Chao waited for about three minutes before he finally saw Qin Nuanyang.
Qin Nuanyang walked right up to Li Chao, seemingly unaware of his presence.
So Li Chao asked, "Something's not right today. You're not even enthusiastic about eating."
Qin Nuanyang raised her head slightly, glanced at Li Chao, and said, "If you want to eat, go home and eat by yourself. Why are you waiting for me?"
"Because I'm going to your house for dinner, and you, the host, haven't even gone back. What would it look like if I went back alone?"
Qin Nuanyang heard a key word: "your home".
It turns out that Li Chao never considered that place as his home.
That's right. He has the ability to get into Tsinghua and Peking University, and he can also make money by trading stocks. With a total capital of a little over 40,000 yuan, he has now made 110,000 yuan in less than a month.
He might earn 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000 in the future...
He doesn't need any more help from his family; from now on, he'll only be himself, living his own life.
Qin Nuanyang walked silently, with Li Chao following beside her at a leisurely pace.
Before I knew it, I had crossed the playground and passed the first and second year high school buildings...
Finally, Qin Nuanyang couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Li Chao, there's something I want to tell you."
"Hmm, what is it?"
"After your birthday, I won't lend you my securities account anymore. You can apply for it yourself later, and I'll transfer all the money to you then..."
"Oh? Okay then."
Qin Nuanyang suddenly looked up at Li Chao, and said in a daze, "You just agreed like that?"
"Didn't you say that? I can't force someone to do something they don't want to do, can I?"
"But I..." As she spoke, Qin Nuanyang's eyes filled with tears, "You're so smart, you know perfectly well that's not what I think."
Li Chao: "..."
Actually, he really didn't know what was wrong with Qin Nuanyang today.
It looked like she was particularly aggrieved.
The scene of her with tears in her eyes touched Li Chao deeply. He reached out and wiped away Qin Nuanyang's tears, saying, "I really don't know what wronged you. Tell me."
Qin Nuanyang suddenly felt even more like crying, "Can you...can you stop making so much money? If you want to buy a house or a car in the future, just ask my dad. My dad has money!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chao vaguely felt as if he understood Qin Nuanyang's thoughts, but he couldn't quite grasp them.
"Besides buying a house and a car, I also need to get married in the future. I can't possibly trouble Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu again, can I? What would I become then? I can't become their son-in-law, can I?"
