The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO
Chapter 240 - 240 239 Breaking the Myth

240: Chapter 239: Breaking the Myth 240: Chapter 239: Breaking the Myth Shiyan Group had reached this stage today all because of Stephen’s actions.

She used to worship him as a god, never expecting he would stab Shiyan in the back.

“Don’t blame me, it was Avy’s own choice.

I just made the Shiyan Group’s stocks fall a few thousand percent,” Stephen scoffed.

“Oh?

Mr.

Poop-and-Filth, you’re really confident.

Who told you Shiyan Group’s stocks were going to fall?”

At that moment, Wang Dadong walked into the office, cigarette dangling from his lips, looking utterly nonchalant.

“Not going to fall?

The original price of Shiyan Group’s stock was eighty-nine point ninety, what’s left now?

Can it be 80?

I guess it’s already hit the limit,” Stephen said disdainfully.

He believed in his own power, and this was just the beginning.

Just a few limit-downs were needed for the stocks of Shiyan Group to completely collapse.

“Is that so?

Let me see how Shiyan Group’s stock is doing now.” After speaking, Wang Dadong walked up to Lin Shiyan, unapologetically took over her computer, and launched the stock software.

Lin Shiyan closed her eyes; she couldn’t bear to look.

“Hmm, it’s indeed halted!” A few seconds later, Wang Dadong’s voice was heard.

“Haha, how about that?

This is just the first drop, soon there will be a second, then a third, and in less than half a month, Shiyan Group will become worthless!” Stephen laughed triumphantly.

He had finally gotten his revenge, and as Wang Dadong was Lin Shiyan’s man, the bankruptcy of Shiyan Group would definitely be a huge blow to Wang Dadong as well.

“Sorry, I wasn’t finished.

What I meant to say was, Shiyan Group’s stocks have been limit-up,” however, just as Stephen was tearfully excited, Wang Dadong’s mocking voice rang out.

“Limit-up?

No, that’s impossible!” Stephen’s face paled instantly.

Wang Dadong pointed at the laptop screen, speaking with a smile, “Red is up, green is down; though I’m not well-educated, I can still understand that much.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyan was the first to open her eyes and look at the screen where indeed, the stocks of Shiyan Cosmetics Company were showing a red limit-up.

“This, this is impossible!” Stephen also saw the stock market trend chart on the computer.

“This, this must be fake, this must be an old stock chart, right?” Stephen could hardly accept this reality.

The script wasn’t supposed to go like this!

Shiyan’s stocks were supposed to plummet!

In fact, not just Stephen, even Lin Shiyan herself thought at that moment that the stock photo must be from before, immediately clicked refresh multiple times, and double-checked the time.

It was truly today’s stock market trend chart!

Shiyan Group’s stocks hadn’t fallen but had instead risen, hitting the limit-up!

(Please forgive the author who has never speculated in the stock market, hence the rudimentary understanding; just enjoy the read and don’t take it too seriously.)

What on earth was going on?

“Aren’t you the man whose word could determine the direction of the stock market?

How come your words are not accurate now?” Wang Dadong crossed his arms, looking at Stephen with a mocking expression.

Stephen’s myth was shattered!

“Pei Xi, how is our stock index doing?” In the president’s office of Xueyun Group, Qin Xue sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass, gently swirling it with a victorious smile on her face.

“President Qin, Xueyun Group’s stocks have risen by three points, and it’s very likely that they’ll hit the limit up today,” Pei Xi joyfully announced.

Xueyun Group had been listed for several years, and its stock price had already stabilized, with fluctuations typically around one point per day.

Such a sharp rise of three points in a single day had not been seen for a long time.

True to her reputation as a prodigy in business management, just a few words from her could stir up turmoil in the stock market.

Qin Xue naturally knew that the rise in Xueyun’s stocks was all thanks to Stephen’s remarks at the press conference.

But don’t underestimate these three points.

With Xueyun’s stock priced over seventy per share, a three-point increase meant two dollars.

Anyone familiar with stocks would understand what a few hours’ rise of two dollars meant.

And this was just the beginning.

Step by step, Xueyun had overcome countless competitors defeated by Qin Xue, who used them as stepping stones.

Only Shiyan Group, led by that woman who possessed both stunning beauty and brilliance, consistently outshone her, delivering defeat after defeat.

Today, Xueyun had finally surpassed Shiyan Group, marking a historic moment.

“Pei Xi, check how Shiyan’s stock has fallen,” Qin Xue lightly sipped her red wine, feeling as though its taste had somehow become much more delightful.

Pei Xi immediately looked up Shiyan’s stocks and, upon seeing the index, his mouth dropped open in surprise, disbelief filling his eyes.

“Pei Xi, what have I always told you?

You must remain calm; you need to have an air of tranquility that can withstand even the collapse of Mount Tai without changing your expression.

This is essential for anyone who aims to be a CEO, even if Shiyan Group’s stocks hit the limit down, it would be expected,” Qin Xue lectured her subordinate earnestly.

“No, not at all, President Qin, Shiyan’s stocks, they’ve, they’ve hit the limit up,” Pei Xi said incredulously.

“I just said that Shiyan’s stocks hitting the limit down was expected… What?

Limit up!” Qin Xue, having just taken a sip of wine, spat it out in shock, spraying it all over Mu Ming, who was engrossed in a novel in the corner.

“I was just reading a novel, who did I bother…” Mu Ming looked up, puzzled, as droplets of wine dripped from his hair.

“That, Mu Ming?

I’m, I’m sorry,” Qin Xue hurriedly took out a napkin to wipe the wine from Mu Ming, and asked, “Pei Xi, what did you just say?

Shiyan Group’s stock hit the limit up?”

Pei Xi nodded, “Yes, President Qin, it happened just ten minutes ago.”

“How, how is that possible!” Qin Xue looked at Mu Ming in disbelief.

Logically, Shiyan’s stocks should have been plummeting to a limit down.

How could it have hit the limit up instead?

This absolutely defied market rules!

“I, I wouldn’t know, I’m just a bodyguard,” Mu Ming responded, still looking confused.

…

“Mr.

Incompetent, are you really a prodigy in business management, or just a fool?” Wang Dadong sprawled on the sofa, legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, and spoke teasingly.

“How, how is this possible?” Lin Shiyan’s beautiful eyes shone brightly, devoid of any previous despondency or loss.

Shiyan Group’s stocks not only didn’t fall but reached the limit up, which was simply unbelievable.

“I, I must be dreaming!

Yes, I must be dreaming!” Stephen felt that, other than him dreaming, there was no other explanation for the current situation.

Snap, his contemplation was abruptly interrupted by a sharp slap to his face.

“Ouch, that hurts,” Stephen cried out, tears nearly welling in his eyes.

This pain, it must mean he wasn’t dreaming!
