CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 371: SNOWBALLING (SECOND UPDATE)

"Alright, next time I’ll bring you along as my enforcer," Bai Qing said leisurely.

Lian Qingyang muttered, "Is there any enforcer as awesome as me? And as handsome?"

"Being good-looking doesn’t fill your stomach," Bai Qing glanced at him and added, "Besides, you little brat, what do you know about being handsome?"

"I’m eighteen, I’m an adult, who says I’m a little brat?" Lian Qingyang immediately got unhappy when he heard this.

Bai Qing raised her fist and said, "So, how about it, wanna have a fight?"

"Sure," Lian Qingyang had been training two hours every day recently and wanted to see if his skills had improved.

"Hold on, I need to take this food back first." Bai Qing lifted the barbecue in her hand, which she had specifically taken a detour to the food street to buy for Tang Yue.

"Bai Qing, you’re back," Tang Yue had just hung up the phone with Tang Mingli and saw Bai Qing return, bringing with her a delicious aroma of barbecued meat.

Tang Yue took a deep breath and said, "That smells so good."

"Xiao Yue, did you buy something tasty?" Qin Anyu came out after showering and, smelling the delicious scent, saw it was Bai Qing who had brought it. Without any reluctance, she grabbed some and started eating, praising, "Bai Qing, where did you buy this? It’s really delicious."

As Qin Anyu savored it, she kept asking.

"Food street, Zhao Ji Barbecue Shop," Bai Qing responded.

Lian Qingyang could hardly wait to start the fight.

Seeing this, Qin Anyu quietly said, "Xiao Yue, have you noticed, these two are like natural enemies. They want to fight as soon as they see each other."

"That must be their unique way of greeting," Tang Yue was already used to this scene. The barbecue was delicious, the meat smelled so rich that she couldn’t help but crave it, even though she hadn’t eaten it yet.

She and Qin Anyu kept half for themselves; their little bellies were already full to bursting.

"I can’t take it anymore, I need to walk around," Tang Yue stood up to move around, feeling like she would burst if she didn’t.

Bai Qing bought a lot, and she accidentally overate.

"Not bad, you’ve improved," Tang Yue saw Lian Qingyang lose after a long persistence, which was already an improvement compared to his usual quick defeats.

"Sister Xiao Yue, are you praising me or teasing me?" Lian Qingyang, not content, got up.

Every time he felt he had improved a lot, but in front of Bai Qing, he was still no match.

No, not exactly no match, just always a bit behind Bai Qing.

"Of course, I’m praising you," Tang Yue replied without a second thought: "Go eat something if you’re tired. If you actually beat Bai Qing, that would be the real surprise."

Lian Qingyang’s face fell immediately, and he lost interest in eating, looking desolate as he left.

Tang Yue wanted to comfort him, but Lian Qingyang was very sensitive about this matter; he insisted on beating Bai Qing.

Because of this, Lian Qingyang even reduced his time spent playing games.

Time flew like water, both Tang Yue and Tang Mingli were into stock trading, but neither knew the other was involved. They both planned to make some money before discussing it with each other.

Bai Qing was even more interested in stock trading than she was. Whenever she had no classes, she would rush to the securities company first thing.

Every time she returned, she was happy. Besides the initial capital, later Bai Qing and Tang Yue each invested US$ 5,000, originally six thousand, after making some profit, they withdrew the capital and started to roll like a snowball.

From one thousand to two thousand, then to four thousand, US$ 5,000, even ten thousand.

From less to more, accumulating bit by bit.

Until the university holiday, when Tang Yue casually asked how much they had made, Bai Qing mentioned a number that left Tang Yue shocked for a long while.

"Seventy thousand, you mean seventy thousand, not seven thousand?" Tang Yue couldn’t help swallowing her saliva, also a bit surprised.

The invested money was very little.

"Exactly, I didn’t miscount at all," Bai Qing took out US$ 140,000, a bag full of cash, and placed it in front of Tang Yue, excitedly saying, "Xiao Yue, this is real cash, not a single fake."

"Didn’t expect it to really make money," Tang Yue grinned, with these seventy thousand as capital, if reinvested, who knows, it might bring her an unexpected surprise.

After the holidays, Tang Yue was busy dealing with Xingyao Clothing Factory and couldn’t return home. Bai Qing, having nothing else to do, ran to the securities company. Whether Tang Yue was at home or out with Qin Anyu, safety wasn’t an issue.

Wangjiang County.

Tang Mingli made more money than Tang Yue.

Because he invested all his dividends, totaling one hundred thousand yuan. After some time of rolling like a snowball, this amount had now turned into five hundred thousand yuan.

Tang Mingli, looking at the money in his account, still took out one hundred thousand for President Zhang to help with stock trading, and planned to split the remaining four hundred thousand evenly with Tang Yue.

After all, Tang Yue had also contributed half of the original capital, even though she didn’t know.

As the year-end was busy, Tang Mingli left the money in the account, planning to split it when Tang Yue returned.

The accounts of the clothing factory for the year needed to be thoroughly calculated. While there’s still time before the New Year, the factory would still operate for a period, and besides wages, each employee_should_receive some additional benefits.

After all, this year, the factory’s profits had multiplied significantly.

"Uncle Mo, are you going back for the New Year?" Tang Yue asked.

"I let the staff from farther away go home this year, I’m not going back," Mo Siyu hesitated, originally he could have taken leave, but he gave it to someone else whose wife was about to give birth, and his own leave was used up, so Mo Siyu voluntarily gave his leave to him.

Tang Yue’s eyes flickered but she didn’t say much, just asked, "So, what about your crew, how are they spending the New Year? Are you spending it alone?"

"How about, Xiao Yue, you spend the New Year with me?" Mo Siyu’s eyes fixed on her.

Tang Yue’s heartbeat skipped.

Mo Siyu’s voice continued in her ear, "Stay and spend the New Year with me, spending it in the crew is quite fun, everyone gathers together, and there’s even a party."

"No," Tang Yue pursed her lips and refused, saying, "If my parents found out I am spending the New Year here, they would definitely be angry."

"Xiao Yue, can you really stand to leave me alone? All on my own," Mo Siyu’s voice slowed down a lot, his usual stern demeanor completely gone, leaving only a deliberately pitiful look.
