"Girl, I..."

"Brother, don't bother explaining. Explaining is just covering up."

"No, I'm really not Tong Nan!"

"Brother, let me ask you one question: what kind of decent guy, upon meeting a girl, would immediately say that he's not from Tong Nan?"

At the doorway, Xu Yi, still unwilling to give up, made a final struggle.

"I don't believe it! There are so many men in the world, how do you know no one has said that?"

Xu Yi disagreed.

Huang Lu and the cute girl looked at Xu Yi with sympathy, while simultaneously opening their private messages and revealing hundreds of harassing messages.

Hundreds of men, remarkably uniform.

"Hey girl, wanna hook up?"

"Hey girl, how much?"

Hundreds of messages, regardless of whether they were harassment or not, not one of them introduced themselves as Tong Nan.

Xu Yi remained silent, feeling as if he had been hit with a critical strike.

"Let's talk about being scammed in investments!"

Xu Yi gritted his teeth, his killing intent palpable.

The explanation is weak.

It's all the fault of those scammers. Without them, would he have been unable to get rid of Tong Nan's label?

In the room, Huang Lu poured Xu Yi a cup of tea, while the little cute girl stood beside him, crying and recounting her sad past.

As he listened, Xu Yi grew increasingly respectful.

This is a Master Investor!

"Younger Sister, you're a true investment genius!"

Xu Yi sighed.

"Is it alright? Is it really that bad?"

The little cute girl felt awkward.

"Not bad? You're too modest!"

Xu Yi's lips twitched.

Investing in cryptocurrency, buying at the highest point and selling at the lowest point, resulted in a loss of five million!

Investing in the A-share market, entering with 2 million and exiting with 130,000, is a model of protecting the market for the country!

One by one, item by item!

Xu Yi exclaimed with admiration, "I've learned so much!"

I've heard of "Industry Jinx," but this is the first time I've witnessed their power!

Twenty or thirty million was almost entirely lost in just a few months, leaving less than five million!

"Wait, didn't you still have nearly five million left? How did your account balance turn into a negative number?"

Xu Yi put down the documents, frowned, and stared suspiciously at the cute girl.

Investing in ghost lanterns is fine, but surely you can't even do simple addition and subtraction?

Did this girl put all her effort into her looks and figure?

"Brother, this is exactly what I wanted to talk about."

Huang Lu interjected at the opportune moment, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"The remaining five million, plus the five million borrowed, totaling ten million, has been invested in the catering market!"

Looking at Huang Lu's embarrassed expression, Xu Yi felt a sense of foreboding.

Could this investment be related to Huang Lu?

Very likely!

It's highly suspicious!

Is the catering market so easy to enter? With a brain like a cute girl's, which is like investing in ghost lanterns, she probably wouldn't even dare to think about this.

Without the guidance of a wise man, the cute girl probably wouldn't have fallen into this trap; at least she would have saved up some money for her funeral!

"Brother, aren't you going to ask..."

"Girl, hold on, just tell me which two projects you invested in!"

Xu Yi's lips twitched, and he quickly reached out, not wanting to hear anymore, nor daring to hear anymore.

Huang Lu's embarrassment lessened, and her face was filled with gratitude.

She knew her brother wouldn't embarrass her!

"Mr. Xu, Lulu asked me to vote for Hushang Shaofu and Huangmen Chicken."

"That's what the cute girl said."

Bang!

The teacup in Xu Yi's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, along with Xu Yi's desire to complain.

Holy crap!

Why invest in Hushang Shaofu and Huangmen Chicken?

He needs to apologize to the cute girl!

Investing in ghost lanterns—who's the cute girl to be doing that?

Cryptocurrencies are inherently difficult to manage, and losing money when buying and selling is quite normal; even the World's Richest Person has made mistakes.

Even financial giants entering the A-share market are bound to have to protect the market for the country, let alone a mere young girl.

But investing in Hushang Shaofu and Huangmen Chicken?

There are countless categories in the catering industry. It's one thing to avoid Xue Wang and Da Shaxian, but how did you manage to pick two such disastrous restaurants?

"Brother, say something!"

Seeing that Xu Yi remained silent for a long time, Huang Lu urged him on.

Xu Yi raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes looking like a dead fish.

"What am I supposed to say? Girl, do you know what the most vicious curse is going around online lately?"

"Cursing someone to have their parents die?"

"This can break a person's spirit? The real curse that breaks a person's spirit is eating Huangmen Chicken and drinking milk tea with Shanghai-style roasted pork! After working overtime all day, a person finally treats themselves to a Pinhaofan, only to open Douyin) and feel like the sky is falling!"

"Huangmen Chicken has been banned nationwide, and Shanghai-style braised chicken is completely ruined. Even cattle and horses, whose only remaining hobby is eating and drinking, have been poisoned. This is worse than being cursed to never be rich!"

Xu Yi spoke, seeing that Huang Lu, although aware of the seriousness of the situation, didn't seem to fully grasp how serious it was, he directly opened the Livestream Room.

The Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were completely overwhelmed and began to wail.

"Stop talking, stop talking! Waaah, I just wanted to have some fun online, why did you have to hurt me!"

"A little girl who loved Huangmen Chicken, gently shattered!"

"Damn that unscrupulous businessman! I only have this much health left, and the Boss is acting like a monster, even torturing me for ordering Huangmen Chicken and milk tea!"

[Negative emotions +100 +100 +100]

One tearful complaint after another, without Xu Yi needing to explain anything further, Huang Lu became increasingly uneasy.

"Mr. Xu, it's not Lulu's fault. It's all that swindler's fault. We weren't initially planning to invest in these two projects; it was he who said they had potential..."

The cute girl quickly spoke up, trying to exonerate Huang Lu.

"You little rascal, you're not a bad person at heart."

Xu Yi sighed.

Huang Lu admired him, but Xu Yi knew that he was no investment Master Investor.

But he's still a delivery driver, so he's aware of the latest trends in the food and beverage industry.

While both are in the food and beverage industry, Overnight Lemon Water became legendary after being exposed.

As for Huangmen Chicken and Hushang Shaofu, they were completely ruined.

What's the worst thing?

The Sanyi Wu Hou opened Huangmen Chicken, which is widely recognized as the most abstract business.

It was so tragic that it created an abstract sense of absurdity, making people laugh.

"Brother, I was wrong, okay? I'm just asking you for help to make amends."

Huang Lu said, feeling extremely wronged.

"Stop talking! Where's that swindler? I'm going to meet him."

Xu Yi said.

What deep-seated hatred could possibly lead investors to invest in Huangmen Chicken and Hushang Shaofu? This isn't just about losing money; it's practically murder for profit!

This malignant tumor must be eradicated!

Since Huang Lu is involved, he can't just ignore it no matter what.

Besides, investing in Huangmen Chicken at this crucial juncture— Xu Yi would never believe, even if you beat him to death, that the other party wasn't deliberately trying to rip off the cute girl.

What a coincidence!

"Brother Xu, you're so kind!"

The cute girl was pleasantly surprised and rushed to Xu Yi's side, becoming extremely affectionate.

They were so close that Xu Yi could even smell the delicate fragrance.

Xu Yi stared intently at the cute girl's face, his expression extremely serious.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, girl. I'm live-streaming right now, so please be careful not to give people any misunderstandings."

"Brother Xu, it's alright. You're from Tong Nan, right? Nobody will misunderstand!"

Damn it!

This hat is definitely not going to go away with!
