Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The man observed Xia Wan, who appeared to be a little girl, and a look of disdain crossed his face. “Little girl, you’re still in school. What do you know about stocks? The stocks I’ve bought outnumber the books you’ve read. Can you possibly comprehend more than I do?”

Xia Wan scrutinized him. He seemed to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in ordinary attire. She retorted mercilessly, “If you were truly adept in the stock market and achieving high returns, you wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now. You would have ascended to an elite status in society long ago.”

“If I were you, I’d take a risk. Nonetheless, whether you heed this advice is your concern.” With that, Xia Wan left.

She had merely offered him a well-intentioned reminder. Whether he accepted it was his choice.

Xia Wan proceeded to a less crowded queue and silently waited in line.

During this interval, numerous glances were cast her way, accompanied by hushed discussions.

Xia Wan recognized that most of these onlookers were conversing about her youthful venture into stock purchasing.

After approximately an hour, it was finally Xia Wan’s turn.

Observing her youth, the staff member presumed she hailed from a well-off background. Perhaps she was trying her luck by investing her allowance in stocks. The employee’s demeanor was somewhat casual. “Are you looking to buy or sell stocks?”

Xia Wan produced three cards and handed them over. “I’d like to purchase shares of Nanyan. Three hundred thousand worth.”

The somewhat drowsy staff member suddenly became alert. He glanced at the three cards and then at Xia Wan, his expression growing serious. “Young lady, are you certain? You haven’t absconded with this money from your family, have you?”

Xia Wan responded, “All these cards are registered under my name. If you doubt it, you can verify. I’m already eighteen and legally accountable for my actions. Kindly assist me with the purchase. Thank you.”

The staff member couldn’t help but offer a cautionary note. “This stock has been declining. If you buy now, you might lose everything.”

Internally sighing, he mused that this young girl truly didn’t understand the value of hard-earned money. Three hundred thousand yuan – the possibilities were boundless.

However, Xia Wan remained resolute. “Please proceed with the purchase. I appreciate your help. I don’t wish to waste anyone’s time.”

Despite the queue of people behind her, not all shared the same sentiment. A woman in her thirties stood behind Xia Wan and inquired, “Why did you choose this stock? Did someone assure you it’s profitable?”

Others were also eavesdropping, given that someone who could produce 300,000 yuan in one go wasn’t an ordinary individual. They speculated she might possess insider information.

Xia Wan feigned innocence. “My father enjoys stock trading. I’ve observed him researching for the past two days. Moreover, I dreamt last night that Nanyan’s stock would yield profits, so I decided to invest.”

The woman maintained a hopeful expression initially, but at Xia Wan’s explanation, her lips twitched. She regarded Xia Wan with a hint of ridicule, as if she were gazing at a fool.

Inwardly, she pondered whose unfortunate child this was. To squander three hundred thousand yuan solely due to a dream was beyond comprehension.

Meanwhile, the rest of the onlookers lost interest, assuming Xia Wan was merely frivolous.

The staff member opted to cease his attempts to dissuade her and carried out

the purchase.

Coincidentally, the man whom Xia Wan had attempted to advise witnessed this scene from the sidelines. Reflecting on her earlier words, he gritted his teeth and resolved not to sell his Nanyan shares—he would hold onto them.

The young girl had been right. Selling now wouldn’t yield substantial gains. In comparison to his initial investment, the potential was meager.

The stock market often came down to a contest of bravery.

If he wasn’t prepared to take risks, why did he dabble in stocks?

Silently departing from the crowd, he hastened to catch up with Xia Wan. Facing the man’s presence before her, Xia Wan inquired, “What do you need?”

His demeanor had undergone a transformation. He set aside his previous arrogance and earnestly addressed Xia Wan, “I’m Zheng Hua. Thank you for your advice. I suspected you were attempting to deceive me.”

“I’m willing to trust you and join you in purchasing the shares.”

Xia Wan was taken aback. She had merely given Zheng Hua a straightforward suggestion. Why was he suddenly placing such faith in her?

Could it be because of her 300,000 yuan investment?

Abruptly, Zheng Hua adopted an enigmatic tone. “Tell me honestly, do you possess any inside information that could cause this stock’s value to rise?” A smile graced Xia Wan’s lips. “I apologize. It was merely a fortuitous dream..”
