Chapter 540: 539

"What?!" Zhang Baowen panicked. He stared dumbfounded as the stock he had bought soared three points and then suddenly crashed to the limit down!

"How is this possible?!" Zhang Baowen was sweating profusely. He had just bought stocks worth over three million yuan! And now he had lost over four hundred thousand yuan in an instant!

"This can’t be happening, this absolutely can’t be happening!" Beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Baowen’s forehead as he stammered, "How can this be? Such a good stock... This is..." He began to refresh the comment section under the stock listing, and once he saw the updated comments, he was completely stunned. "It’s over... completely over!"

It turned out that a new message had appeared under the stock: "Securities Regulatory Commission: This stock is suspected of financial fraud and is currently under review by the Securities Regulatory Commission."

Financial fraud, under review by the Securities Regulatory Commission!

Having played the stock market for several years, Zhang Baowen understood what that meant all too well. If the listed company were found guilty of financial fraud, its stock price would undoubtedly plummet!

A series of limit downs was inevitable! If that happened, the more than three million yuan he had earned with hard work over the years would be lost in the blink of an eye!

Large beads of cold sweat dripped from Zhang Baowen’s forehead: "What should I do?! What am I supposed to do?!"

After all, that was more than three million yuan of principal—an amount not to be taken lightly!

"What do I do? What do I do?" He muttered blankly for a while, and then, suddenly, as if driven mad, he lunged toward Wang Hao, crying out, "Master! Save me, Master! You are omniscient and adept in divination. You must tell me what to do! Please show me a clear path, Master!"

Everyone around, including Jiang Huanyu, was flabbergasted!

Just moments ago, Zhang Baowen, who had been quite arrogant toward Wang Hao, seemed almost ready to fall to his knees and beg for his life!

Wasn’t today’s scene a bit too dramatic?!

Everyone felt that the plot was turning too quickly and that it was hard to accept.

"Well..." Wang Hao stroked his chin. He didn’t harbor any deep-seated animosity toward Zhang Baowen and believed in forgiving others when possible—it was fine to spare him losing one or two million yuan, truly. So Wang Hao touched his chin, then closed his eyes. "Let me calculate for a moment, just be patient."

Then, Wang Hao began his calculations: "One times one equals two, two times two equals four, four times four equals eight, eight times eight equals sixteen..."

While he muttered elementary arithmetic aloud, the people nearby couldn’t stop exclaiming—

Zhao Fang: "Look! Only a master could make such a unique incantation!"

Guo Wenming: "It’s a done deal! My Brother Hao can definitely predict accurately. His incantation once spoken must surely make the situation better, like swiftly flowing water after you slice it and not turning back from a thousand miles away!"

Zhang Li: "That’s ’Leaving at dawn from Baidi, surrounded by vibrant clouds, traveling a thousand miles to Jiangling, returning within a day,’ you illiterate!"

Guo Wenming: "Anyway, it’s definitely settled!"

Jiang Huanyu was full of admiration: "The Master is really cool when he does his calculations! I’ve decided to follow the Master from now on! I’ll ask later if the Master has time lately to come to our company as a senior consultant!"

Zhang Baowen at this point couldn’t care what Wang Hao was muttering about; he was totally preoccupied with hearing what Wang Hao would conclude!

"Between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, six plus seven equals thirteen, six times seven equals forty-two..." Wang Hao shook his head back and forth, mumbling for quite some time, and finally, when everyone was almost at their breaking point, slowly opened his eyes.

"I have carefully calculated," Wang Hao touched his chin, assuming the air of a seasoned sage. "If you want to quickly escape this bind, then within this half day, there will be one and only one chance. The stock will break the limit down, it might even rise a little. You must quickly sell then. If you delay, you’ll regret it for life!"

"Okay! Okay! I got it!" Zhang Baowen nodded frantically. "If there’s a chance, I’ll run! I definitely will!"

By now, Zhang Baowen was almost ready to build a shrine for Wang Hao, considering everything he said was so accurate, almost god-like!

The Western food had already been prepared and served, and they began to eat.

But Zhang Baowen had no appetite at all, considering he might lose over a million yuan. How could he eat? His eyes were glued to the screen.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Master! You were so accurate! There’s movement! Movement on the trading board!"

Really? That effective?!

They hurriedly put down their knives and forks and ran to look.

Indeed, they saw the chips on the limit down of the stock rapidly decreasing, and then the stock price began to soar at a breathtaking pace!

"Good heavens, that’s incredible!" Jiang Huanyu exclaimed. "The Master was too accurate! It’s really sharp, we have to keep this!"

Wang Hao, however, decisively shook his head: "No, no, no. I calculated carefully. Today’s rebound is merely like the last glow of the setting sun. It will probably close at even, and remember tomorrow, the moment you can sell, take the chance and run, or else... you know what could happen."

"Understood! I understand!" This time, Zhang Baowen was completely convinced. "Master! Master, please take me as your disciple, Master!"

Damn, take you as a disciple?

Brother Hao, this is luck dice at play; you don’t have this stuff, what can you learn?

"No, no, no," Wang Hao was just like the Bodhi Patriarch from Journey to the West: "I’ve seen your physiognomy, and your personality is too flamboyant and extravagant. It’s not suitable for you to engage in such intense activities. After you escape tomorrow, invest in a stable business—that’s the right path!"

Everyone around was stupefied!

Brother Hao was incredibly awesome!

If he had a halo behind his head, he could totally go on a pilgrimage to the Western Paradise!

"Brother Hao is invincible!" Guo Wenming exclaimed, "Did you see that demeanor? He’s truly a master! With that style, he’s definitely a terrestrial deity!"

"Do I even need to say it," Jiang Huanyu looked at Wang Hao with shining eyes. "A master indeed! The one hundred and eighth descendant of Ghost Valley, he totally holds his own!"

After turning around at Ghost Gate, Zhang Baowen was completely convinced, both in heart and speech: "Master’s lessons are right! Once I’m out of trouble tomorrow, I will focus on transitioning to legitimate business, no more speculative dealings."

If he had brought his hands together in prayer, people would believe he was about to convert to Buddhism!

Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, as long as you understand. Alright, go back and rest well; your future life will have a different kind of brilliance."

Hahahaha! Little buddy, trying to fight with your Brother? You’ve hit a steel plate, haven’t you?

"Understood! Disciple understands!" Zhang Baowen quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Wang Hao, and said: "Thank you, Master, for your mercy. I’ll take care of the bill for today’s meal, disciple will settle it. May we meet again if fate allows."

Jiang Huanyu: "..."

Guo Wenming: "..."

Zhang Li: "..."

Zhao Fang: "..."

Oh heavens and earth! Who would believe what happened today?

A so-called brilliant financial analyst utterly failed in front of Brother Hao! At the end, he looked as if he had just spared his own life!

"Master!" Jiang Huanyu stared in shock as Zhang Baowen went to the front desk to pay the bill and said in a daze, "Why do I feel like he’s suddenly become a different person? Was today’s blow a bit too much for him?"

Zhao Fang chuckled and glanced at her: "Jiangjiang, do you even need to ask? He obviously had designs on you when he came, and now he’s lost face so massively; he nearly blew his entire fortune. Isn’t that shock grand?"

"Ah?!" On hearing this, Jiang Huanyu was totally stunned: "He had designs on me?!"

"Didn’t you notice?!" Zhao Fang exclaimed in surprise: "Why else do you think he ’coincidentally’ turned up here? No normal person comes to this kind of place to eat alone. He must have known you were coming, so he orchestrated this ’chance’ meeting!"

"Such deep scheming!" Jiang Huanyu was clearly frightened: "He wants to pursue me? Lord, how could he entertain such thoughts?"

Wang Hao: "..."

Guo Wenming: "..."

Zhang Li: "..."

Speaking of which, sis, you really are thick-skinned! How could you not notice something so obvious?!

"Hey, why are you all staring at me like that?" Jiang Huanyu giggled shyly: "I never even thought about that, and besides, how could I be interested in someone like him? I am indeed a spouse-boosting type!"

Yes, that sounds about right!

The group began eating merrily, and after a bite of steak, Jiang Huanyu looked at Wang Hao and asked, "Master, I’ve been meaning to ask you, where are you employed now? Are you usually busy?"

Busy on usual days?

Wang Hao thought carefully, this needed some serious calculation...

Currently, there’s no need to worry about the film crew, the house is down waiting for decoration, our Ice Princess Mua Mua Da hasn’t returned yet and apparently, she’s negotiating a big deal... Eh? Speaking of which, it seems I really don’t have much going on recently!

"It seems I’m really not that busy," Wang Hao scratched his head with a smile: "Why, do you need help with something? We’re neighbors after all, just say the word."

"No, no, no, not like that," Jiang Huanyu suddenly got anxious when she heard Wang Hao’s words: "I just thought, I’d like to invite you to be our company’s advanced consultant, a consultant. Would you be willing? Of course, salary is negotiable, and I imagine, Master, that you’re not short of money, but we’ll still provide a salary. How about a hundred thousand a month?"

Right after Jiang Huanyu said this, everyone was utterly astonished!

Oh my! Did you see that? What’s called awesome? This is truly awesome!

Opening with an offer of a hundred thousand a month!
