CHAPTER 328: 236, BLACK AND WHITE MATCH? BLACK SILK AND WHITE SILK?

Duanmu Yunji had just arrived home. She realized Luofeng was about to make his move. And indeed, that was the case.

As midnight approached, Capital City Great Cat was nestled in Luofeng’s embrace.

She murmured as if to herself, "Luofeng, why are you so good to me?"

"What kind of silly question is that?" Luofeng retorted.

"Aiyah, I’m just curious," Duanmu Yunji cooed.

"Why ask so many questions? If I like you, I ought to treat you well. Don’t you understand that?" Luofeng grumbled.

"Mhm, I love you too," Duanmu Yunji responded happily.

「At seven o’clock in the morning.」

Luofeng could still feel the Great Cat’s closeness.

He gently removed the fair arm entwined around his neck.

Luofeng went to the living room.

In the group chat with his brothers, he sent a message.

Luofeng: Zhang Changjiu, start working.

Zhang Changjiu: Awaiting Brother Luo Feng’s command. Ready to execute Plan B immediately.

Plan B was, naturally, their scheme to help Shiseido with its image recovery.

It was seven o’clock in the morning in their location, but in Japan, it was already eight o’clock, with only one hour left until the stock market opened.

However, on famous Japanese internet forums like FC and 2CH, a new post had appeared.

It was titled, "Slander from Daxia Debunked: Anessa Has No Issues!"

The post was long and detailed, including photos, videos, and even investigative reports.

They claimed there was no fabrication or fraud, that everything was true.

Naturally, this post quickly spread across Sakura Country’s internet. Major websites were buzzing about it.

The stock market is, of course, very sensitive to such things.

Although this post wasn’t overwhelmingly influential—not due to a lack of popularity, but rather a lack of authority—yesterday’s news was different. Oxford University itself had declared there were no issues with the Big Gold Bottle and Big Silver Bottle. This top-tier university was providing god-tier assistance.

Considering both posts, Japanese internet users began to speculate that this was all a Daxia conspiracy. Their Anessa sunscreen, they concluded, was undoubtedly problem-free.

Soon, at eight o’clock in the morning, corresponding to nine o’clock in Japan, the stock market opened.

Anessa’s stock price rose slightly.

Yesterday, Luofeng’s investment company had purchased 3.2 billion Yen worth of Anessa shares at a price of 7,406 Yen each.

Now that the price had risen, profits were sure to follow.

In 10 minutes, the stock price surged to 7,510 Yen.

This upward trend continued.

By nine-thirty in the morning, Li Bo Kai sent a message in the group chat.

Li Bo Kai: "Is everyone awake yet?"

Luofeng: ...

Li Bo Kai: Ahem, I meant the others, not Brother Feng. I know your morning exercise schedule is fixed, and you’re always awake then but unreachable by phone.

Luofeng was speechless. This guy really was observant. But he was right.

Luofeng awoke at seven. Duanmu Yunji was still sleeping. Between seven-thirty and eight, Duanmu Yunji usually woke up too. After they had breakfast, it was time for their half-hour morning exercise.

Li Bo Kai: Brother Dali is so hypocritical, saying one thing and doing another. At the bar yesterday, the way he was flanked by women was quite a sight!

Luofeng: ...

As expected, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Li Bo Kai: Brother Feng, what’s the current situation?

Luofeng: [Image]

Li Bo Kai: Damn it! We bought in at 7,407 Yen and it rose? Did we profit again?

Luofeng: This is just the beginning. Just wait!

「At 11 o’clock in the morning.」

The stock market closed.

The stock price of Shiseido settled at 7,688 Yen.

The increase was still limited, only 3.79%.

However, based on their investment of 3.2 billion Yen, that was a profit of 120 million Yen!

「At noon.」

Luofeng and Duanmu Yunji were eating in the apartment. They were both eating high-protein foods like seafood.

Luofeng sat on the sofa, sharing a lingering kiss with the beauty for a moment before taking out his phone to check the group chat.

Duanmu Yunji was also looking at her phone.

Luofeng: Is everyone awake? Is everyone up yet? Are the duck-head eaters still asleep?

Li Bo Kai: He probably ate too much. I guess he’ll surface in the afternoon?

Li Bo Kai: Last night at OT, Brother Dali ate two super spicy duck heads at the bar and even got two more as takeout. Do you really think he can get up now?

Li Bo Kai: Lin Xiaoyun is pretty much the same. She threw me under the bus last night, claiming she drank too much with me and didn’t go home. Actually, she ordered one in black silk and one in white silk. God knows what she was up to.

Li Bo Kai: Apart from me, who’s focused on making big money, everyone else is a dog!

Luofeng: ...

Luofeng directly sent a picture of Duanmu Yunji snuggled in his arms, showing the group that Miss Ferrari was, in fact, watching their antics.

Li Bo Kai: I’m used to it. My image is already ruined anyway.

Haha. Luofeng laughed. Giving up on himself now, is he?

「At 1 p.m.」

There was still one hour until the market closed.

Shiseido’s stock price had reached a high of 7,997 Yen. It was about to break through 8,000 Yen.

Li Bo Kai: Brother Feng, I’m a bit nervous.

Lin Xiaoyun: Li Bo Kai, you should be nervous, you bastard, selling out your old man again!

Chen Dali: Li Bo Kai, you’re really something else, selling us out just like that.

Lin Xiaoyun: I’m curious, how did you know there was one black silk and one white silk?

Li Bo Kai: Lin Xiaoyun, you were the one talking about a ’black and white pairing’... what else could it be?

Luofeng shook his head helplessly.

It seemed that he was the only decent man in the whole group chat.

It’s so hard being a good man, isn’t it?

But a good man can still give gifts to his girlfriend’s best friends.

Scumbags would never understand such joys.

Especially the thrill of a girlfriend’s best friend teasing you with her feet.

Scumbags just wouldn’t get it.

「Around 1:30 p.m.」

Luofeng discussed the situation with Chen Ping.

By then, Shiseido’s stock price had reached a high of 8,160 Yen.

"Clear all positions now. Can it be done in time?" Luofeng asked.

"We can, but we’ll lose some profit!"

"Don’t worry about it, just clear everything," Luofeng instructed.

After the position clearing was completed, Chen Ping asked, "Boss Luo, should we continue to short and then go all in?"

"Let’s discuss it tomorrow," Luofeng declined.

After all, he knew the three-day trend of this stock.

"Alright then. The relevant financial information will be sent to you shortly, Boss Luo," said Chen Ping.

About three minutes later, Chen Ping sent over the information.

In this long position, Luofeng’s earnings reached 8.4%.

It looked quite good, but the principal amount had actually changed, because everything had been reinvested from previous profits, right?

Luofeng: Alright, you duck-head-eating lads, rejoice! Today, let’s aim for even more black and white silk!

[Picture!]

As he spoke, Luofeng sent a picture of the earnings from this round.

Chen Dali: Awesome, awesome!

Lin Xiaoyun: Love you, Brother Feng!

Li Bo Kai: Brother Feng, awesome!

Li Bo Kai: I admit, I’m getting carried away. Let’s hit the bar again tonight! Those spicy duck heads last night were amazing. I’m going to try eating two at once too.

Chen Dali: ...

Lin Xiaoyun: Does Sister-in-law read the WeChat messages?

Luofeng: She’s playing the piano.

Chen Dali: That’s a relief.

Lin Xiaoyun: Murong Cunyuan?

Chen Dali: Lin Xiaoyun, I want a black and white pairing too!
