Chapter 375 Is Su Yang A Scammer?

Following the upgrade of +3 hardware and the assistance of artificial intelligence, Little Deeny’s computational ability became stronger.

As Su Yang’s assistant, she was used to Su Yang believing in her words. Therefore, she had also gotten used to believing in her own investigation results.

Hence, when Su Yang suddenly questioned her, she could not react in time.

She could not help but say, “What… how could that be? I had actually found out that all the relevant information had pointed to the marketing department of [In] Company. Even the media and public accounts that were involved are those that had been bought over by [In] Company previously.”

Su Yang walked to the study room, he picked up the (Small Bench That Refuses to eat Melons) and brought it downstairs. As he walked, he said, “In that case, did you notice something? How did Intellectual Properties find out about the personnel in our production team? How is it that they know so much about it?”

“Um…” Little Deeny was stumped. She really hadn’t noticed that.

She thought for a moment and said, “Could it be Director Wang?”

Su Yang came to the backyard and looked around. ‘Qing Zhu has started to plant Little Monster Beans and grass already. The straw hut made by the Little Monster Beans seems to look good.’

He put down the bench at the edge of the river and sat down. Then he nodded. “I think it’s him. I can’t think of anyone else who could have gotten their hands on so much inside information other than him.”

Little Deeny agreed, “That makes sense.”

As he sat down, watermelon, cola, and melons appeared before him. He picked up a slice of watermelon and ate it as he said, “But it’s not just him.”

Little Deeny asked, “Not just him?”

The watermelon that he ate felt refreshing and sweet, it drove away the heat from the scorching summer Sun. As Su Yang ate, he said, “That’s right, it’s not just him. I doubt he knows that everyone in the production team has criticisms against him.”

Little Deeny did not agree with this. “It’s possible that he knew about it all this time but wasn’t bothered by it.”

Su Yang threw the melon skin to the ground and shook his head with a smile. “You’re just being unreasonable. It doesn’t make sense.”

Seeing that Little Deeny was about to refute again, Su Yang picked up a handful of melon seeds and continued, “Furthermore… based on his current status and connections, do you think he would be able to get a hold of the movie’s box office data from IQIYI?”

Little Deeny was at a loss for words. “Um…”

After thinking about it. ‘Director Wang really doesn’t have the capability to do so.’ However, she was indeed an intelligent little phone spirit with superb computing skills. The moment Su Yang gave her a hint, she immediately figured out who Su Yang was referring to. “Master, could you be referring to… Chu Hong?”

Su Yang ate some melon seeds and nodded. “Correct. I suspect that Director Wang, Chu Hong, and [In] Company are all working together. You could continue your investigation with that in mind.”

Little Deeny hurriedly said, “Yes, Master. I’ll update you as soon as possible.” Actually, Su Yang still had confidence in Little Deeny and was not worried. ‘Although Little Deeny did not do a perfect job this time, it doesn’t mean that there is a problem with her ability to gather information. She’s just used to data processing and has never had to think about the details.

‘After all, discovering the problem from within the details was a thought process, it is not something the usual logical thinking that she excels at.

‘However, now that I’ve reminded her, I’m sure she will be more careful and makes sure that she doesn’t make such a mistake again.

‘After all, she’ss a phone spirit that’s being aided by artificial intelligence. If she thinks like a human while artificial intelligence does all the algorithms, it would be the perfect combination.’

While he was deep in thought, Su Yang leisurely munched on melon seeds as he watched Qing Zhu plant the Little Monster Beans.

Shortly after, his WeChat suddenly rang.

Su Yang summoned the virtual interface and opened it. It was a WeChat message from Xu Lu asking about stocks.

‘Su Yang, you said you were going to guide me on investing in the stock market. I’ve opened up an account over the past few days and have downloaded the app with some money inside. What should I do next?’ ‘Hang on… did I mention that I was going to guide Xu Lu?’

Su Yang thought for a while. ‘I might have said something along the lines on a whim.

‘I didn’t think too much of it back then, but I did not expect for Xu Lu to remember it.

‘However, it’s my principle to keep my promises. Since I’ve already said it, I’ll definitely see it through.’ Hence, he opened his app and had a look.

‘I’ve sold off the two stocks that did not have potential according to Little Hus last monday.

‘I sold off the other 2 stocks that had depleted its potential the next day.

‘After that experience, I’ve realized what Little Hus meant when it judged that the stocks had no potential.

“The potential that It’s referring to means that the stocks would rise by at least 8%

‘All four stocks have met this criteria.

‘The stocks that I sold off were still increasing after I sold them, but they did not reach their daily limit with the highest increase being 7.5%. Thus, I could assume that its minimum is at 8%. ‘Of course… it is possible that it might even rise to its daily limit.

‘However, there’s too little info for me to come to a conclusion.

‘I should use this ability more often, that way I would be able to better understand Little Hus’s judgement in the potential of stocks. ‘The only stock I have left is Zhang Bang Science and Technology, which has been on the rise for six days in a row. However, perhaps because it has risen too much, Zhang Xin Science and Technology is slowly declining. Today, it had been hovering and had only reached its daily limit right at the last minute.

“This is both a bad thing and a good thing. The downside is that the stock is about to lose its potential. The upside would be that it gives others who had not been able to buy this stock a chance to acquire its stocks.

‘For example, I’ve placed all my money from selling the other stocks into Zhang Bang Technology.

‘Therefore, Zhang Xin Science and Technology isn’t just a part of my portfolio but the entirety of it!

‘I’ve invested a total of 7,180,000 yuan in Zhang Xin Science and Technology.

‘Everytime the stock price fluctuates, it would be tens of thousands of yuan for me. My heartbeat’s literally like I’m on a roller coaster.

‘However, I don’t mind it at all. After all, I’d be able to know when to sell it off thanks to Little Hus.

‘Plus… I’ve already made close to 2 million yuan because of this stock already, there’s nothing for me to worry about.

‘If I had more money, I would definitely have bought as much as I could and went all in. After all, I would be reaping 10% profit everyday! Furthermore, that’s just compound interest. I could earn a few hundred thousand yuan everyday!

‘In fact, when Xu Lu asked me to guide her, I immediately thought of this stock. After all, this is the only stock that I know of that would definitely be profitable.’

At that thought, Su Yang sent the stock code to Xu Lu. ‘This is the stock that I would recommend for you to buy. Now’s your chance to invest in it, you’ll be able to acquire it tomorrow morning. I predict you should be able to earn approximately 10%.’

When Xu Lu saw Su Yang’s WeChat message, she was shocked. ‘10%?!’

She rubbed her eyes. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she was stunned…

Even though she did not have an idea of how investing in stocks works, she could still understand what it would mean by earning 10%.

‘I’m currently only earning around 2% annually on AliPay. How could Su Yang so casually say that this stock would allow me to earn more than 10%? Why does it sound like a scam?’

Xu Lu gulped and sent Su Yang a WeChat message. ‘Um… Su Yang, how long am I supposed to hold this stock for in order to earn 10%? Half a month? When am I supposed to sell it?’

In Xu Lu’s opinion, ‘if I have to hold the stock for a month to earn 10%, it’s still very much worthwhile. However, based on my understanding of Su Yang’s magical abilities, I should probably try and keep the holding time short.’

Not long after she sent it, she received Su Yang’s reply. ‘Half a month? That’s far too long. You should buy it tomorrow and sell it off the next day the moment it hits its daily limit.’

Xu Lu thought that she must have seen wrongly, but after looking at it several times and even restarting her phone, she realized that her eyes were not lying to her.

She could not help but calculate. ‘If I buy it tomorrow and it reaches its daily limit the next day, that would mean it would increase around 10% on that day… This even includes the assumption that the price of the stock doesn’t drop tomorrow.

‘Is it possible that the stock would increase after I buy it tomorrow?

‘But it doesn’t make sense. How could Su Yang possibly know how much I would be buying it at?’

She could not help but ask, ‘Su Yang, at what point should I acquire the stocks?’

After a while, Su Yang replied, ‘Whenever.’

Xu Lu was confused.

‘Whenever?

‘I’d be able to earn 10% no matter what price I buy at?’

Just as she was thinking about it, Su Yang added, ‘Whatever it is, the price will definitely rise tomorrow. It doesn’t matter when you buy it at, as long as you sell it off the next day once it’s achieved its daily limit, you’ll earn 10%.’

Xu Lu was speechless. ‘No matter at what point I buy it, the stock would definitely rise to its daily limit tomorrow and continue to rise the next day as well?

‘Isn’t he being… overconfident?’

Xu Lu’s heart was pounding. She felt like a fool and Su Yang might just be the kind of person who loves conning such fools.

‘Isn’t this… exactly like a scam?’

At this thought, she could not help but feel uneasy. ‘I know that Su Yang has no reason to lie to me. After all, there is no enmity between us and there’s no reason for Su Yang to lie to me. However, why do I still feel so uneasy?’

She thought about it and suddenly remembered that one of her cousins seemed to know a lot about stocks. ‘Should I… ask her?’

Xu Lu quickly called her cousin.

“Du… du… du… du…”

The call had been connected after a short while and a woman’s voice spoke. “What’s wrong Big Lulu?”

Xu Lu blushed at the nickname. “Hey! Why are you calling me that again?”.

The nickname did not sound like a problem at first glance, but it was a “private nickname” that only Xu Lu’s cousin would say to her. In fact, her cousin had always called her “Lulu” since she was young.

However… After an incident where her cousin had accidentally grabbed her butt, the latter was shocked to realize that Xu Lu’s butt was huge, perky, and bouncy. In fact, It felt good to grope on it.

Her cousin had a perfectly normal sexual orientation, but she was actually infatuated with Xu Lu’s butt and would grab her without warning for no good reason.

Eventually, she had changed Xu Lu’s nickname to ‘Big Lulu’.

Xu Lu was only thankful that her cousin had not called her “Xu Mi” instead at that time.

Although Xu Lu protested, her cousin had completely ignored her. “Tell me, Big Lulu, what’s the purpose of this phone call today?”

Xu Lu could not be bothered by that nickname. She read Su Yang’s chat history to her cousin and told her about Su Yang. Then, she asked her cousin for her opinion.

After her cousin heard this, she was stunned for a moment before asking three questions in a row, “Xu Lu, is this Su Yang guy a scammer?”
