Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chapter 148 Zhang Wei's First Overtime Work

A cubicle in a financial company in Shanghai.

Zhang Wei took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes hard. The candlestick charts on the screen made him dizzy.

Frustrated, he picked up his phone and habitually opened TikTok.

Big data accurately pushes various videos of women in black stockings and long legs, as well as videos of them dancing seductively, but he scrolls through them absentmindedly.

Suddenly, a headline caught his attention.

[Exclusive Perspective! A heartbroken young woman in Syracuse after a breakup – her poignant silhouette is truly touching!]

It's that woman again.

Zhang Wei pursed his lips. This "breakup girl" has become incredibly popular lately, but he always felt it was pretentious.

A woman who doesn't even dare to show her face becomes the dream girl of countless otaku with just a few sentimental captions? Ridiculous.

He initially intended to swipe away, but the familiar yet unfamiliar slender figure in the video made him click on it almost unconsciously.

The video only shows a distant view from the side and rear.

The woman, dressed in a red Zhaojun costume, stood in the vast expanse of white snow, her figure slender.

That silhouette...

A face involuntarily flashed through Zhang Wei's mind: he thought about it with a hint of uncertainty.

When that tearful voice came from the phone, Zhang Wei sat bolt upright!

He almost instinctively turned his phone volume up to the maximum.

"I'm never dating again..."

",boom!

Zhang Wei's mind was struck as if by a thunderbolt!

Chen Xi!

He had seen videos of girls breaking up a few times, and at first he just thought they were pretentious. They didn't even show their faces, so what was the difference between them and those beautiful women exercising while wearing masks? Even a dog wouldn't watch those kinds of videos.

But that back view... he'd recognize it even if it were ashes!

For four years of university, he licked Chen Xi's boots for four whole years, forty-eight months, one thousand four hundred and forty days, and thirty-four thousand five hundred and sixty hours.

He gets up at six every morning just to bring her a serving of her favorite steamed buns; he got into three fights to save her a seat in the library; he wrote down all her casually mentioned preferences in a small notebook, remembering them better than he remembered advanced calculus formulas.

Chen Xi's voice was more familiar to him than his own mother's!

His hands trembled as he almost immediately exited the video and frantically searched for keywords like "breakup girl" and "full stop" on Douyin.

Countless videos imitating and riding the wave of popularity popped up, and he immediately spotted the original account with the ID "Period" that had already surpassed 13 million followers.

He opened the comments section, his fingers trembling with excitement.

"Holy crap! Guys! I know who she is! It's Chen Xi! Chen Xi from Shanghai University!"

"Which damn bastard dares to dump my goddess? Step forward! I'll fight you to the death!"

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei's comments were like a drop of water in the ocean; nobody believed him.

"What a load of bull! Here comes another one trying to ride the wave."

"No, upstairs, do you know who Chen Xi is?"

"Does it matter who it is? He's obviously a simp..."

",

""

"I know that one of the top ten young entrepreneurs in Shanghai this year is a beautiful woman named Chen Xi. I don't know if the person upstairs is referring to her."

""

"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! I was her college classmate! I've heard that voice for four years! It's definitely Chen Xi!"

"My heart aches for my Xixi! That scoundrel deserves to die a horrible death!"

Zhang Wei panicked. Like an enraged bull, he suddenly stood up in the cramped cubicle, his face flushed, and started typing on his phone screen.

"You guys don't know anything! I've known her for four years! I know her voice, her back view, better than I know my own mother!"

However, his explanations seemed weak and powerless amidst the vast sea of ​​comments, and were quickly drowned out by new ridicule.

"He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious."

"Bro, simps end up with nothing. Wake up!"

Zhang Wei was trembling with anger. He couldn't tolerate his goddess being misunderstood, and he couldn't tolerate these ordinary people questioning his "professional licking skills"!

He immediately shared the video link in several alumni and class groups of Shanghai University.

"[Link] @All Members, the girl who broke up with her boyfriend is Chen Xi from our school! Please help me upvote this comment!"

"Really? Zhang Wei, are you drunk?"

"Chen Xi? That bubble tea beauty from our school? She uses TikTok? And she got dumped? I don't believe it."

Zhang Wei's rationality completely collapsed.

He rushed to the workstation next door, grabbed a colleague's arm: "Old Wang, hurry up, register a Douyin account, go comment on this video, and say she's Chen Xi!"

Old Wang looked completely bewildered: "Huh? Why?"

"Don't ask anymore, I'm begging you, I'll treat you to bubble tea tonight!"

One is not enough!

Zhang Wei's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically scanned the office, finally fixing his gaze on several interns.

He rushed over and said, almost in a commanding tone, "You guys, register Douyin accounts right now and start commenting! One comment each, no, ten comments each! I'll reimburse you for your overtime pay tonight!"

Relying on colleagues alone is not enough!

A sudden idea flashed in Zhang Wei's mind. He opened Maotao.com and searched for "phone number".

I immediately bought dozens of phone numbers, intending to use them to register secondary accounts on Douyin.

Shortly after placing the order, customer service sent a message saying that one operator and one ID card can only register a maximum of 5 accounts.

A mobile phone number.

Zhang Wei was stunned. He angrily bought fourteen mobile phone numbers.

After buying it, I realized that I needed to wait until the next day to receive the card and complete identity verification before I could use it. It was a case of "a distant solution cannot quench an immediate thirst"!

In desperation, he picked up his phone and started frantically dialing numbers.

"Hey Mom? What's your Douyin (TikTok) account? Go comment on it for me right now!"

"Second Uncle! Do me a favor, register a Douyin account using your phone number—"

"Cousin! Are you there? I need your help urgently!"

An hour later, Zhang Wei led a temporary "internet army" of friends, relatives, colleagues, and interns, along with dozens of small accounts he had managed to obtain, to launch a full-scale attack on the comment section of "Full Stop".

With an overwhelming numerical advantage, public opinion began to slowly shift.

More and more people are starting to be skeptical.

"Holy crap, so many people are saying this, could it really be true?"

"I just searched for the top ten young creators in Shanghai, and there really is someone named Chen Xi on it. His photo—holy crap, it's amazing!"

""

"My God! If it really is her, then who is the man who dumped her? She'll be doxxed to death by the entire internet!"

Seeing the comments section transform from uniform mockery to a frenzy of shock and doxxing of the "scumbag," Zhang Wei let out a long sigh of relief and slumped into his chair.

He felt he had won a holy war to defend the honor of the goddess.

He glanced at the time; it was midnight.

Everyone in the company had long since left, except for the lights in his room, which were still on.

My first overtime since starting work was for Chen Xi.

A strange, morbid sense of satisfaction welled up inside Zhang Wei.
