Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Su Wanxin’s Weakness

"The stock market has been good these past few months, I guess I’ve just been lucky."

Su Wanxin explained the current situation to her.

"Right now, there are 12 million in the account. I suggest you take back ten million and leave the rest with me. Even if it’s all lost, it won’t hurt too much."

"It’s possible to lose it all?" Sheng Qian felt like she was being deceived.

"Of course, it’s possible." Su Wanxin chuckled lightly, "That year I turned twenty million into a billion, guess what happened?"

Sheng Qian: "..."

"I lost it all."

At that time, she was dealing with futures. The price of timber futures was soaring, and plywood prices rose from 100 to 200 dollars.

Then it was a case of greed outstripping capacity; she couldn’t bring herself to leave the market, ended up with such big losses that it hurt her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

That year, she was 19.

Hearing this, Sheng Qian felt the pain as if it had happened to her. "Alright, I’ll visit your company tomorrow."

"Good, then carry on with what you’re doing."

Su Wanxin didn’t say anything else. After the call ended, Sheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fu Shiyi; they continued to stroll leisurely.

Fu Shiyi, arm in arm with Sheng Qian, was distracted, deep in thought. When her eyes caught a glimpse of a movie trailer on a distant building, she stopped in her tracks.

"What’s wrong?" Sheng Qian followed her gaze and saw a foreign suspense horror movie trailer, asking with confusion.

"Nothing, just reminded me of Su Wanxin." Fu Shiyi gave a self-deprecating smile, nodding toward the screen, "She’s most afraid of these things."

Sheng Qian paused, then laughed, "I thought she was afraid of nothing."

"She’s scared of ghosts, incredibly so. When we were kids, I dragged her to watch a comedic zombie movie and she shivered with fear, didn’t even dare to go to the bathroom at night."

Remembering the old times, Fu Shiyi’s eyes softened a lot.

"Later I heard it was because of her time at the orphanage. The director of the orphanage was not a nice person; he would lock the disobedient kids in a small room and make them watch horror movies."

Su Wanxin never spoke of more details, and Fu Shiyi didn’t delve too deep. She just knew that Su Wanxin had her vulnerabilities too.

"I wonder if she’s still scared of those things now. If there really are ghosts, I hope they can give her a good scare, serve her right for being so bad."

"Enough, you’re just all bark and no bite."

Sheng Qian didn’t take her words seriously. Ghosts in this world? It’s all just scaring oneself.

...

After finishing the phone call, Su Wanxin returned to the office and immediately noticed that her colleagues were looking at her somewhat strangely.

"I know I’m beautiful, but you don’t need to stare like that, do you?" Su Wanxin slowed her pace, frowning slightly. "Speak up if you have something to say, don’t just look at me, it’s a bit scary."

"Sister Xin, I heard there’s a 160?"

"160, yeah 160."

"What do you think, where should we go to eat tonight?"

"I don’t know where we’re going to eat, but I definitely know who’s picking up the tab."

The deal with Alex was settled, and Su Wanxin not only achieved her goal of a triple-digit return but exceeded it by a large margin.

Chen Lei just mentioned it in the company group chat, and everyone was ecstatic. Besides disbelief, there was only one thing on their mind—

Awesome!

Su Wanxin saw the excitement in their eyes and slightly squinted.

Don’t be too obvious with your extortion, brothers.

"The salaries for this month haven’t been issued yet." She sauntered to her desk and sat down, saying softly, "I’m utterly broke."

"Broke or not, you can’t get out of it tonight!"

"...Ah, fine then."

Being the boss turned out to be quite pitiful.
