CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"When I got the money and was about to leave, Zhao Hu suddenly called me and asked me to come over. How could I not go when he asked me? So I was a little delayed, but you see, I came over as soon as I finished what I was doing."

Knowing that he had wasted a lot of time, Gao Qilin awkwardly explained, then took the card out of his pocket and handed it directly to Lin Ran, who was waiting.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. There's a total of 200,000 in this card, which is a bit more than I said before. Consider the extra amount as compensation for you."

"What? Thirty million? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Upon hearing about the large sum of money, Lin Ran's eyes immediately reddened. She quickly took the card from Gao Qilin and began to check it. After confirming that there was indeed 200,000 yuan inside, she immediately put it in her pocket, fearing that someone else might take it.

"I'll forgive you since you gave me so much extra money. I have some nutrient solution in my car. Take it off my car and give these trees a bag of it every day for the next seven days. They'll be fine in seven days."

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Gao Qilin immediately unloaded everything from the car.

Seeing that there was nothing in his car, Lin Ran gave some instructions and left immediately, since he didn't want to stay in that kind of place for even a second longer.

"What does Zhao Hu want with you?"

After Lin Ran left, Gao Qilan immediately questioned Gao Qilin, because in his memory, Zhao Hu had never done anything good.

"There are outsiders here, so it's not convenient for me to tell you now. I can tell you when we get back tonight."

Seeing that Gao Qilan was asking so urgently, Gao Qilin immediately explained the situation. After saying this, he even looked behind him, as if afraid that the village chief would hear him.

Only then did Gao Qilan realize that the occasion was inappropriate, so she said nothing more and began to pack up her things on the mountain.

"There's nothing much going on up the mountain now, so we'll head back first. We still have some things to take care of over there."

Seeing that she had almost finished packing, Gao Qilan prepared to leave.

"You should go back now. You've really gone to a lot of trouble these past few days. If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know. I'll do my best to help you as long as it's within my power."

The village chief knew he couldn't help, but he still said it anyway.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely ask for your help if we encounter any difficulties in the future. Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Chapter 458 Tell Gao Qilan

Gao Qilin knew he was just saying it superficially and didn't say much more, so he left with Gao Qilan.

On the way back, Gao Qilan could no longer contain her curiosity and asked:

"What exactly did Zhao Hu say to you? Tell me quickly."

“Zhao Hu told me some things about stocks. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I could clearly feel from what he said that he wanted to get me into the stock market.”

"Get close to investing in stocks? Let me tell you, that's a dead end. You've probably seen it before; quite a few people have lost their entire fortune because of stocks."

Gao Qilan felt particularly disgusted upon hearing the word "stocks" because she had a friend who ruined his reputation by playing the stock market.

"You don't need to tell me, I know perfectly well. It's just that I didn't agree to his request."

Seeing Gao Qilan's attitude, Gao Qilin immediately began to explain, fearing that she might misunderstand.

"It's good that you didn't agree. If you had, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother."

Gao Qilan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Gao Qilin said, but she still made sure to say the unpleasant things upfront.

Because this incident deeply affected Gao Qilan's mood, she told her about Gao Qilin's plan to invest in stocks as soon as she got home.

"Investing in stocks? I think it's a great idea. If you succeed, you won't have to work hard for the rest of your life."

However, after learning that Gao Qilin wanted to invest in stocks, Zhong Xiaoai's attitude was completely different, and she immediately agreed.

"Why do you only think about the successful side of things? Success can make a lot of money, but you should also understand one thing: when it comes to things like stocks, only a small percentage of people can succeed; most people end up losing money."

Gao Qilan never expected Zhong Xiaoai to agree, so she immediately explained the dangers to her, trying to make her face reality.

"I know that without you having to tell me, but I also believe in Gao Qilin's abilities. I don't think he'll let himself lose money, otherwise your Qiangsheng Group wouldn't have grown so big. What do you think?"

However, Zhong Xiaoai did not listen to what she said at all, and retorted again after Gao Qilan finished speaking.

These words left Gao Qilan speechless for a moment, so she took out her phone and showed him the data she found online.

“Look at the data over there, most of them are losing money. Take this stock for example, it looks like it’s always going up, but once you buy it, it will definitely fall.”

To make Zhong Xiaoai understand the reasoning behind it, Gao Qilan deliberately took out several tens of yuan and threw it in after saying those words.

Just as she said, as soon as those few dozen yuan went in, the stock, which had been rising steadily, immediately showed signs of falling.

However, Gao Qilan was watching the stock data closely the whole time, so he immediately sold the stock as soon as there were signs of a downward trend to avoid further losses.

But the moment she took the money back, the stock price suddenly rose again.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai was furious and said:

"Why did you take the money so quickly? If you had waited a while longer, you wouldn't have lost money at all; you would have made a profit."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai snatched her phone and started operating it.

It was the same stock as before, but the moment she put the money in, the stock started to fall again.

However, this time Zhong Xiaoai was not as anxious as Gao Qilan. Instead, she waited for the stock price to rebound.

But things didn't go as planned. While Zhong Xiaoai was waiting, the stock kept showing signs of falling. If she continued to wait like this, she probably wouldn't get a single penny.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Qilan immediately stopped, but the moment she stopped, the stock resumed its upward trend and, after waiting for a while, it rose back to the previous price level.

“I told you not to take it away so early. You didn’t listen to me. Look, you’ve lost money again. This time, let me handle everything. Don’t interfere.”

After seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but complain and tried it again.

But just like before, there was no reaction when I inserted the money. After trying for a long time, Zhong Xiaoai gradually discovered the pattern: as long as money was put into it, the stock would definitely show a downward trend.

Conversely, if you take the stock out, it will definitely show an upward trend.

"How could this happen? It's fine once or twice, but it gets boring if it keeps happening."

Seeing what she saw, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but complain. At this moment, she also began to doubt the idea of ​​stock trading and stopped emphasizing her previous views.

"What did I tell you? There's absolutely no way you can make money from stocks. Now you have to believe me, right? You're my sister-in-law, how could I lie to you?"

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai had understood the situation, Gao Qilan seized the opportunity to explain, fearing that she might change her mind later.

Chapter 459 A Dispute Occurs

"But I clearly heard people say that stocks are very profitable, so why is this happening?"

Despite what she had said, Zhong Xiaoai still acted this way, which greatly disappointed Gao Qilan, who didn't know what else to say.

"No, I have to call my dad and ask him. If I remember correctly, he has some knowledge in this area and might be able to help us."

When she realized she couldn't figure it out, Zhong Xiaoai thought of Old Zhong and picked up the phone to contact him.

"I think it's a bit unnecessary to contact Professor Zhong about this matter."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoai's actions, Gao Qilin tried to stop her, but it was too late; the call had already been made, and he couldn't say anything more.

Did something happen to you?

Since Zhong Xiaoai hadn't called Mr. Zhong in the past few days, he thought something had happened to her when he saw her turn on the phone, so he promptly asked her about it.

"I haven't run into anything, so don't worry. I came to you today to ask about the stock market. Gao Qilin wants to start a stock trading business recently. Do you have any advice?"

Fearing that Elder Zhong might misunderstand, Zhong Xiaoai quickly explained her purpose, and after saying this, she looked very expectant.

"As for stock trading, I saw a friend of mine do it before, and he made a lot of money. So I think it's a pretty quick way to make money. If you're interested, you can give it a try. But I have to warn you first: stock trading must be done in moderation, otherwise, problems will arise."

"Okay, we'll handle it appropriately. I'm all set on my end, so I'll hang up now. We still have some things to discuss."

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Zhong Xiaoai hung up the phone and looked at Gao Qilan with a confident expression.

"See? My dad has already said that, so what are you still worried about? Besides, Gao Qilin isn't a stingy person. If he makes money from stocks, he'll definitely give you a portion of it, so you don't need to worry about that at all."

“I’m not worried about the money at all. Forget it, I don’t think it’s any use talking to you now. Let’s ask him what he wants and see what he decides. After all, it’s his business.”

After saying that, Gao Qilan looked at Gao Qilin, waiting for him to make a decision.

"This……"

When he saw that both of them were looking at him at the same time, Gao Qilin instantly looked bewildered.

Actually, he felt the same way as Gao Qilan; he was very resistant to stock trading.

But this request was made by Zhao Hu. If I don't agree, it would be disrespectful to him, and it might cause problems in future collaborations.

Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin was very conflicted. He looked up at the two of them, unsure of what to choose.

"Tell us what you're thinking, the two of us are waiting over there."

Seeing that Gao Qilin was stammering and hadn't said a word for a long time, Gao Qilan, who was standing to the side, looked very impatient and began to urge him.

"Although Zhao Hu has never had a good history, I don't think he would harm me. So I want to try my luck with him. If we make money, then the money is ours. But if we lose money, I'll take full responsibility. What do you guys think?"

After some internal struggle, Gao Qilin still chose to believe Zhao Hu, since he had no other choice but to do so.

"...Did I say all that to you before? Oh well, you've already made your choice, so there's nothing I can say. You decide for yourself."

Seeing that Gao Qilin hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to invest in stocks, Gao Qilan looked very disappointed and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Gao Qilin quickly stopped him and continued:

"Although I said I wanted to try stock trading, don't worry, I definitely won't put a lot of money into it. I'll only put in 300,000 yuan. If I lose all of that 300,000 yuan, I won't touch that stuff again. What do you think?"

"Okay, that's what you said, 300,000. If you don't produce anything, I'll definitely settle accounts with you later."

Three hundred thousand (Qian Hao Zhao) is not much to the entire Qiangsheng Group, so after hearing what Gao Qilin said, Gao Qilan readily agreed and started searching in her pocket.

"There's 500,000 in this card. Take this card and let's see how long it takes you to empty it."
