99: Chapter 98: A Thunderclap – Some Rejoice, Some Sorrow

"Number Two, you are amazing."

"It's nothing. They were the ones who liked walking into the line of fire."

"Xiao Lin, will Rongcheng Beer really crash?"

"Uncle Wang, you'll know in a few days."

"Let's go."

Zhang Dong started the car and drove toward the entrance of the residential complex.

"Son, the greatest achievement of your 20-plus years has been getting to know Xiao Lin."

"Dad, do you really believe what he said at the table just now?"

"Even your grandfather believes it; how could I not?"

Wang Jun's expression changed, and he lowered his voice. "Is everything Lin Feng said true?"

"I don't know about that, but if I told you to start from scratch, could you build a Fengda?"

"Dad, you're making it hard for me. Never mind starting from scratch, even if you gave me 10 million in startup capital, I couldn't do it. I lack that kind of foresight."

"There you go. Lin Feng did it, so how could he be ordinary?"

Wang Jun's eyes flashed with realization; he had been too close to the situation to see it clearly.

Others might not have inside information, but it wasn't impossible that Lin Feng actually could get it.

Two days later, at nine in the morning.

Qin Yu organized a stack of documents and placed them in front of Lin Feng.

Her mother had been discharged from the hospital, and Lin Feng had arranged for Zhang Dong to take her back to their hometown in Runzhou.

"Lin Feng, the domain name hasn't sold yet, but I've collected quite a bit of data on second-hand goods trading."

"It's fine. The era of domain names is about to pass. As for second-hand goods, I've already built the platform, so you won't have to work so hard in the future."

Lin Feng pulled her to his side, and Qin Yu sat on his lap, blushing.

"Don't be so busy from now on."

"I'm afraid you'll think I'm useless. I've heard that the women around you are all very capable."

"Xiao Yu, why are you starting to compare yourself to others?"

"I'm not. I just see that you're too tired, and it hurts my heart."

"Then just keep my bed warm for me."

"You're so bad."

Creak... The office door was pushed open, and Fang Cheng rushed in, not paying attention to the situation.

When he looked up, his expression changed, and he said sheepishly, "Boss, it's a misunderstanding. I'll go out first."

"Come in, come in. You've already ruined the mood, what's the point of leaving?"

"Boss, Boss's Wife..."

"Fang Cheng, I..."

"Don't explain. Let him call you Boss's Wife. Tell me, what is it?"

"The stock you asked me to watch has had a major movement."

"Oh... that brewery that's daydreaming about becoming a leader in the pharmaceutical industry?"

"Yes, Rongcheng Beer has been exposed. There were problems with the three clinical trials, and the placebo test showed that it was ineffective in treating hepatitis B."

"Ineffective? Does it have absolutely no effect?"

"Yes. This news was posted on Weibo by a core member of the research team. Although it was deleted instantly, Rongcheng Beer hasn't made an official response."

"How's the stock price?"

"It's about to hit the limit down."

Lin Feng nodded, not surprised.

There would be nine consecutive limit-down days ahead. The biggest losers in this wave would be the retail investors; who knew how many would be unable to hold on.

"Lin Feng, the outside world is very optimistic about Rongcheng Beer. I checked, and it's all news deliberately released by some institutions."

"Xiao Yu, you understand this too?"

Qin Yu rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and said crossly, "I'm majoring in finance."

She actually had a hint of charm.

After a woman has been nurtured, she is very different.

After transforming from a girl into a woman, she had less of that callowness and more of a seductive charm.

Lin Feng definitely preferred the latter.

Cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness.

"Xiao Yu, there's nothing really worth learning at school. Why don't I open a company, and you can be the boss?"

"Ah... I... no, no, no, let's not. How could I?"

"What's wrong with it? Open a financial investment company to practice."

"By the way, I remember Wang Hui is in the same department as you, right? Call her over too. And Secretary Li Wanqiu; she's in the foreign language department, so you won't be blind when you encounter foreigners."

Qin Yu was nervous to death. She hadn't even figured out her classes yet, and now she was opening a company.

Besides, her personality was very introverted, unlike Wang Hui, who was very flamboyant.

She was also different from the likes of Xu Luo and Liu Yan.

They came from good backgrounds, carried an aura about them, and were naturally full of confidence in their bones.

Qin Yu was different. After experiencing her mother's illness, her personality had become somewhat insecure.

But she was very capable; Lin Feng had seen that long ago.

Steady and calm. If she was given training, she would be a perfect supportive wife in the future. None of the women Lin Feng currently knew could compare to her.

"It's settled then. Old Fang, get Xu Luo to come to my company."

"Huh? This... just like that?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Okay, I'll contact her."

The boss is still the boss; he's amazing.

He has that young lady Xu Luo completely under control; you have to admire him.

And he even made Qin Yu stay without leaving. Everything has its match; he really is something else.

The phone Lin Feng had placed on the table rang.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Lin... Lin Feng, thank you. I... I escaped a disaster."

Liu Yan's tone was clearly filled with fear.

It was exactly as Lin Feng had predicted; the crash began on the third day.

Fortunately, she closed her position in time; otherwise, she would have been in trouble.

"This is just the beginning. There's at least another wave of limit-down days ahead."

"Lin Feng, let me treat you to a meal."

"Alright, come to the company. Xu Luo is coming over later too."

"Okay..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng looked at Qin Yu and smiled. "You're not going to be jealous, are you?"

"You've called all your female confidantes over, so I'll call Wanqiu and Huihui and have them come over too."

Qin Yu smiled slightly, picked up her phone, and held it to her ear.

...Some rejoice, some sorrow.

In Wansheng Group, inside Wang Lingling's office, she stared at the K-line chart that looked like it had been cut in half. Her body trembled, and her face was pale.

From the news of the failed Phase III clinical trials being exposed to the limit down, it took less than an hour.

This kind of catastrophic crash was rare in stock markets around the world.

"Wait a bit longer, don't rush. There's no official announcement yet; it's all rumors. I still have a chance."

Wang Lingling clenched her fists, her body shivering slightly, cold sweat breaking out on her cheeks.

"Miss Wang, it... it's bad."

Assistant Xiao Yun rushed into the office, looking nervous.

"What's wrong? Why are you panicking?"

Wang Lingling stood up from her office chair, her expression very ugly.

She had a bad premonition.

"It's officially announced! It's officially announced!"

"Rongcheng Beer announced that the Phase III clinical placebo was ineffective, had no effect on treating hepatitis B, and the vaccine development failed."

"Authoritative institutions outside are all bad-mouthing Rongcheng Beer, predicting that it will enter a crash mode starting tomorrow."

"What... are you sure?"

"Financial channels in major cities across the country have already reported it. There's absolutely no mistake; it was announced by Dr. Chen of the research team personally."

..."It's over. Everything is over..."

"Miss Wang, we can arrange to close the position immediately when the market opens tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it will hit the limit down the moment it opens. If no one dares to buy, with so many shares, there's no way to close the position immediately."

Wang Lingling's face was ashen. At this moment, she finally realized that Lin Feng's prediction of the stock market definitely wasn't based on so-called luck.
