Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

At this point, she tilted her head slightly and continued, "Brother Zhou, have you also invested in the stock market?"

Seeing the glint of mischievous light in her eyes, Zhou Chenyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"I feel something's really wrong, it's too fanatical." Su Fengnan frowned slightly and said seriously, "I heard from my classmates that some people are even living and eating around there. Even if a windfall really falls from the sky, we ordinary people will definitely not be among the first to get it. I find it really strange that even children understand this principle, so why are those adults rushing in like madmen?"

As she spoke, Su Fengnan couldn't help but reach out and gently pull Zhou Chenyu's wrist. She looked up, her eyes innocent and earnest, and said, "Brother Zhou, have you invested a lot? I'm very worried... The stock market is unpredictable and uncertain; it will always come down eventually. Please don't get trapped."

She stared intently into Zhou Chenyu's eyes, seeking an answer; she truly didn't want her Zhou-gege to suffer such a heavy loss as well.

Zhou Chenyu looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, and reached out to ruffle Su Fengnan's hair. He hadn't expected his little girl to be so perceptive, to see through the intricacies of this world of fame and fortune so clearly. Ironically, even a young girl could see it, yet so many people were still desperately trying to squeeze in.

Fortunately, he had planned ahead. Before this undercurrent of trouble, he had quietly sold off most of his shares. Not only that, he also brought in several friends and business partners.

After all, he didn't want them to suffer heavy losses, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing if they did. He didn't care about the lives of the others.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chenyu leaned down slightly to meet her gaze, his tone resolute: "Don't worry. I've already sold most of my stocks, and the rest will be fine for now. Even if the stock market crashes, it won't affect me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Fengnan's tense shoulders and back finally relaxed, and she let out a long breath. She felt a sense of relief mixed with admiration.

She knew how things would turn out, which is why she came to give a heads-up in advance. But Brother Zhou, with his keen intuition, had already made plans. This is the difference between a truly capable person and someone who can only get ahead of others by cheating.

"Brother Zhou is really amazing," she exclaimed sincerely.

"There's no other way." Zhou Chenyu leaned back in her chair, her eyes full of gentle smiles. "With such a smart Lin Daiyu by my side, if I'm not strong enough, how can I protect you in the future?"

Caught off guard by this sudden recognition, Su Fengnan blushed slightly and subconsciously brushed the stray hairs from her ears while her pen unconsciously drew circles on the paper.

Zhou Chenyu took in her shy expression after being praised, and couldn't help but lean forward, gently pinching her cheek with his fingertips, saying in a gentle tone, "Don't be shy, our Nan'er is just fine."

Once she had calmed down a bit, he adjusted his posture and asked seriously, "You're suddenly so concerned about the stock market. Do you know anyone who's gotten involved?"

Touched on her secret, Su Fengnan sighed with some distress: "Well... my classmates' parents have dragged their family members into this mess. I've also heard other classmates talking about it. Some parents have abandoned their children and gone to Zhucheng to work at the stock exchange every day. The adults are all so restless, and the kids are bound to be influenced. I'm worried that this could cause big problems, even affecting their college entrance exams."

"Is it this serious here too?" Zhou Chenyu looked surprised. Although he knew that most stock investors in first- and second-tier cities had gone mad, he also knew that only a very small number of people would actually make money in this game.

If a stock market crash really happens...

Zhou Chenyu could imagine how horrific the scene would be. However, he knew he couldn't change anything by himself, and private capital couldn't sway the overall situation. From the perspective of the nation, he believed that the higher authorities must have emergency plans in place.

But the necessary reminders still need to be given. Conduct a survey first, let the data speak for itself, and then find someone to submit the materials. It's just that he can't take the lead in this matter himself.

Zhou Chenyu fell into deep thought, while Su Fengnan waited quietly. In her previous life, she had not experienced this stock market crash and did not feel anything at the time, but when the people around her mentioned it later, they were all extremely melancholy.

Since she met Zhou Chenyu, she had never inquired about his assets, because she didn't need to. Their relationship wasn't based on mutual benefit. When she talked to Zhou Chenyu about the stock market, she wasn't hoping he could change the outcome or prevent those tragedies from happening again; she simply wanted to at least help her Zhou-gege (her brother Zhou) and his friends avoid losses.

She is not a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering; she can only do what she can.

Zhou Chenyu had a plan in mind, and when he looked up, he saw his Nan'er sighing.

If it were anyone else, who would worry about this so much? But since it's his little girl who's fretting over this, he can't help but feel sorry for her. No matter what, he has to do his best.

"I'll figure out a way to handle this. You just focus on preparing for the college entrance exam, okay?"

"I don't have time to think too much. I'm buried in all sorts of exam papers every day, and I only remember things when I hear classmates talking about them." She paused here, then changed the subject, "Oh right, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang said I need to go and guide the first batch of products tomorrow. I have to go to Zhucheng tonight to discuss it with Brother Hai. I'll go with him tomorrow. From now on, Brother Hai will be in charge of guiding them."

Although this was a project that Su Fengnan and Zhang Wenhao collaborated on independently and did not involve her original shop, the subsequent technical guidance really had to be handed over entirely to Hai Ge.

"Okay, we'll set off after dinner." Zhou Chenyu nodded and asked, "Does my sister want to come to Zhucheng with us?"

Su Fengnan looked towards the door. "I'll ask her later. If she wants to go, we can go together."

"OK."

After their conversation, Su Fengnan finally felt relieved. However, she still needed to find time to remind Tang Qiuyue, hoping her family could suffer less loss. With these worries put aside and thinking about her upcoming plans, she even felt more motivated to do her homework.

……

Zhang Wenhao acted swiftly. After the New Year, he busied himself with site selection and renovations. Now everything was ready, and all that was left was for Su Fengnan to provide final product guidance.

Su Fengxia also came to Zhucheng with her sister this time. On her way back in the afternoon, she had to bring some bread and pastries back to school. Since the beginning of this semester, more and more students have been asking her to order bread and pastries, and she has agreed to do it all, earning quite a bit of pocket money.

Early Sunday morning, Zhang Wenhao personally drove to pick him up. However, with Zhou Chenyu accompanying him, he didn't have much of a chance to fawn over her.

Hai Ge and Su Fengnan arrived at the processing center together. Looking at the complete facilities, materials, and personnel in front of them, the two exchanged a glance, both filled with anticipation for the upcoming results.

Su Fengnan changed into a clean white work uniform, neatly tying her long hair back, exuding professionalism and competence. She glanced around the spacious and bright operating room, nodded in satisfaction, and then walked to the long table, her gaze gently sweeping over the slightly reserved trainees in front of her.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Just follow the steps you usually practice." Her voice was gentle, yet it carried a reassuring power. "Today, we're mainly looking at your control of the heat and the strength of your kneading. If you have any questions, feel free to ask our Master Hai."
