High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 278 - 156: I Hope We Can Always Be Happy

Jiang Banxia: "Song Xiaoli said she has a friend who wants to meet me, and that friend’s name is Zhou Qingyuan. Do you know him, Master Li?"

Li Yang: "That damn Song Xiaoli, how dare she try to steal my people. Doesn’t matter if it’s Zhou Qingyuan or Zhou Qingfang, it’s definitely all about money."

Jiang Banxia: "I don’t believe you don’t know him, Master Li."

Li Yang: "Oh, he’s the fund manager at Yongjia Capital. His dad Zhou Yongjia’s company currently manages over eighty billion in assets, and Zhou Qingyuan personally manages the Yongjia Leading Growth Fund, which is over ten billion. It’s the star fund of Yongjia Capital."

He’s familiar with these numbers and knows Zhou Qingyuan is leading Yongjia Capital toward breaking the two hundred billion scale.

Currently, Zhou Qingyuan must be less than thirty years old.

Jiang Banxia: "Master Li sure knows a lot. Anything else you want to say?"

Li Yang: "... People who are good at stock trading are not good people, just stay away from them."

Jiang Banxia didn’t reply. After a while, Li Yang asked again: "Is Master Jiang there... want to have dinner together? The market is closed..."

Jiang Banxia didn’t reply but made a call.

When it connected, Jiang Banxia said: "Master Li, a friend of mine said she’s forming a private equity and wants to invite me over."

"Do you want to go?"

"I do, because I’m struggling to manage my current accounts. Most of the chips are stagnant, and the operable chips hardly make up a quarter."

Jiang Banxia is confident in making money even during a bear market, but it would require ten times or even a hundred times more effort.

She doesn’t have a team at the moment, so she misses out on many chances to earn money. Most of her funds are just lying down waiting for market fluctuations.

Her mind can keep pace, but her hands aren’t fast enough, and sometimes the funds don’t catch up, resulting not only in wasted effort but also partial losses.

That’s why very few retail investors exceed twenty billion, and even hot money rarely crosses sixty billion. Hundred-billion hot money is sparse.

Li Yang asked: "Would doing that make you happy? If you’re happy, then go for it."

"Would Master Li be happy?"

"If you’re happy, I’m happy."

"I... I’m actually very, very happy, I’ve been overjoyed these days. But I’m afraid you won’t be happy..."

Jiang Banxia’s happiness is simple: she no longer needs to consider others before speaking or acting. Ever since Li Yang made her personal account public, everyone around her became considerate and cautious.

The three roommates in her dorm either ignored her or tried to pick her brain. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Now, though?

Some guys she didn’t even know added her on WeChat and confessed, only to curse when she rejected them.

Liu Yuheng chatted well with her on the surface, but he always acted as if he were superior. Only when Meng Yuhang ’accidentally’ shared her portfolio did his stance lower.

She had never been very confident in life, relying solely on Li Yang.

Now, for the first time, she truly understands that money is a person’s greatest confidence.

Of course, for her, it’s only one of them.

Li Yang asked: "Why wouldn’t I be happy?"

"Because I’ll meet many great people, and you’ll just be a small-time host..."

"Bah! Have you ever seen a small host with an account having tens of billions?"

"Hhhh, what if someone dumped tens of billions before you and said: Li Yang, just ignore Jiang Banxia afterward, and this money is yours. What would you do?"

"Nonsense, of course I’d take the money."

"Huh?"

"Then you change your name to Jiang Manyue, and I’ll deal with Jiang Manyue. No problem, right? Change your name and earn tens of billions. Where can you find such a great deal?"

"I’m serious."

"Oh, tens of billions are worth nothing! With our relationship, your money is also my money, isn’t it? You’re only capable of earning tens of billions in your lifetime? I’m not stupid. I was the top scorer in the college entrance exam, remember? Do you think I’d make such a loss-making deal?"

"What about your money?" Jiang Banxia asked.

"Of course, it’s still my money. With our relationship, do you have the nerve to spend my money?" Li Yang showcased his double standards perfectly.

"Uh, then I’m really going."

"Go, go, but show me the contract. I’m completely screwed by Mouyu’s contract right now. I think I’m becoming the god of contracts, no trap can escape my eyes."

"Master Li, aren’t you afraid the other party is an excellent guy?"

"Wouldn’t he need to see if he can handle my fists as big as sandbags first! Aviation Road, ask around who rules here. I’ve fought from one end of the street to the other, and no one dared to say no!"

...

"Master Li..." Jiang Banxia suddenly called softly.

"Hmm?"

"I’m really glad to have met you..."

"And then?"

"I hope we can keep being happy."

With laughter, Jiang Banxia hung up the phone.

She knows Li Yang is a bit cunning too. By making her account public, he basically locked down her social circle. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the confidence to talk to her, and skilled people value her ability, just seeking benefits.

Her true friends are only one and a half left.

Li Yang counts as one, Wu Tianqi, Xiangnu, and Li Yang’s roommates combined count as half.

She hardly has any choice.

But she... never thought of choosing anyway, there was only ever one answer.

From start to finish, from beginning to end.

So Master Li’s little cunning plan is going to fall through.
