There's a bull in the market

"Holy crap, the last time Xu Yi laughed like that, he wiped out billions of assets from Huangshi Group. What's he up to this time?"

"Oh no, oh no! Everyone says never mess with Abstract Guy Abstract Guy. Once he gets serious, he doesn't care about anything else. This is really going to be a disaster!"

"If things really get out of hand, there's nothing we can do. Who told this damn Association to act so irrationally?"

"The production crew was doing just fine, why change the color for no reason? Even if we take a step back and insist on making changes, can't we follow the normal procedures?"

"They've had too many good days, and now they really think they can control everything?"

"That's hilarious! I've heard of hitting a rock with an egg, but I've never heard of hitting a meteorite with an egg!"

The Livestream Viewers gloated, and not a single person acted objectively, let alone as a saint.

A moment later, the propsman rushed back excitedly, and when they saw what the propsman brought, everyone present, even though they had already prepared themselves, couldn't help but gasp.

Abstract!

That's too abstract!

The prop master, holding a bunch of inflatable doll kits, didn't give Bai Ruonan a chance to refuse and put them on her, instantly turning her into a Green-Feathered Chicken.

"What do you want? I'm warning you, let me go right now, or you two brothers will regret it!"

Bai Ruonan was filled with regret as she was trapped in the mascot costume.

If she had known Xu Yi had such a powerful older brother, she would have slunk away long ago.

"What? I'm not interested in you."

Xu Yi chuckled and had the stagehand bring over a large iron pot, fill it with water, and add firewood.

Holy crap! Is this supposed to be stewed goose in an iron pot?

"Six hundred and sixty-six, our Northeast China are in for a treat!"

"Xu Yi, do you even know how to cook? For stewed chicken in an iron pot, you have to pluck the feathers first. Who wants to eat a chicken with feathers on?"

"You're already being generous by showing me this ridiculous stuff, and you've actually picked up on this particular taste?"

Seeing Xu Yi's actions, the Livestream Viewers immediately guessed his methods.

Is there really no limit to the number of pranks this kid can pull?

Everyone else was speechless; Xu Yi had completely baffled them.

This kid doesn't seem to feel wronged at all; he's clearly having a blast doing the pranks.

"Aaaaaah! Help me! Help me now!"

Bai Ruonan had no idea that Xu Yi was up to something. When she saw that Xu Yi was actually boiling water, she screamed in fright.

Family, does anyone know what happened? I just came to collect some protection money, and I ended up falling into a cannibal's den!

[Negative emotions +100]

Are you scared?

Xu Yi smiled leisurely.

"I'm scared! I'm really scared! Please spare my life!"

Bai Ruonan cried uncontrollably.

How could she not be afraid?

When they arrived, they were surrounded by henchmen, looking quite impressive.

What about now?

Betrayed by his henchmen, he's being treated like Green-Feathered Chicken, and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms is about to unfold!

"Since you're scared, tell me what this so-called Association of yours really is!"

Xu Yi's face darkened, and he shouted coldly.

"I'll tell you everything!"

Bai Ruonan began to speak, spilling out everything she knew like beans.

Film and Television Association.

As the name suggests, it is an Association spontaneously formed by the industry. It has no mandatory or legal status; it is simply an exchange Association to facilitate communication between various film crews.

Everyone pays a membership fee, and when they need Actor or people, the Association acts as Intermediary to help find Actor who meet their needs.

To put it bluntly, this is just an Intermediary agency.

But the Association itself doesn't think that way.

Over time, they really started to believe they were big shots in the industry, that they could kill whoever they wanted.

Wei Lihuang, Association President the Film and Television Association, is a troublemaker who can turn small production crews into big ones in a matter of days, leaving them overwhelmed and full of complaints.

"Lately, the Association President seems to have been researching stocks, and probably lost money. So he came up with this 'rectification' excuse to have me collect rectification fees, agreeing to split the money 30/70..."

"You've been running around doing all the work, taking on both risks and criticism, and you only get 70%?"

"Seventy percent of the time it's the Association President, the other thirty percent depends on his attitude..."

"You're such a piece of trash!"

Xu Yi remained silent.

After all that emotional turmoil, this girl is just a nobody?

Why bother with all that fanfare?

"Brother, this woman is yours. Will you take her?"

Xu Yi looked at Han Tao.

"Accept! Of course we'll accept!"

Han Tao sneered.

"I'm just here to extort some rectification fees. It's a mutually agreeable arrangement, and you have no right to tell me what to do!"

Bai Ruonan panicked when she saw the look in Han Tao's eyes.

This guy really treats men and women equally, he really goes all out with his beatings!

If Han Tao really imprisoned her, wouldn't she suffer a terrible fate?

"Consensual? This is clearly extortion! If the amount is large enough, it'll be at least three years!"

Some people said with schadenfreude.

"Ah?"

Bai Ruonan was terrified; her eyes rolled back, and she fainted completely.

[Negative emotions +999]

"Ah Yi, should I take action against Wei Lihuang?"

Han Tao looked at Xu Yi and asked seriously.

"We don't need you to get involved in things that happen within our industry."

Xu Yi chuckled and waved his hand.

"Besides, his obsession with green (referring to stocks) must mean he's lost a lot of money in the stock market. I have plenty of ways to deal with those stock market scumbags."

Just as Xu Yi was speaking, in an office of the Film and Television Association, a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and bloodshot eyes suddenly shivered.

Damn it, why do I suddenly have this ominous feeling?

"I've lost all my money except for three thousand yuan, what other bad luck could I possibly have?"

Wei Lihuang muttered to himself, looking at the stock trading software, on the verge of tears.

Investing 20 million in the stock market and losing it all down to 3,000 is more expensive than wearing Yoga Pants!

Who exactly told him that the King of Taxes could make a fortune by playing the stock market?

He embezzled 20 million yuan from the Association and invested it in the stock market, hoping to make a fortune overnight. But what happened?

Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

Twenty million was poured in, and before I even figured out how to play the stock market, it turned into six million, a drop of more than 70%!

That evening, Wei Lihuang's blood pressure spiked so badly that he lost a lot of hair. He slapped himself hard, the sound of the slaps sending chills down Big-Mouth Slaps spines of his secretary outside the door.

The Association President, who has suffered from kidney deficiency for over a decade, what is he doing? Is he not going to live the rest of his life like this, indulging in such debauchery?

Fourteen million—enough for Wei Lihuang to buy Yoga Pants in Outer Five Counties —and now it's all gone in the blink of an eye!

No!

I disagree!

Try again?

The King of Taxes says that trading cryptocurrencies will definitely make you rich!

Trust him one last time!

Six million was invested again, this time with complete peace of mind. It plummeted to three thousand yuan, a drop that couldn't go any lower, with no hope of breaking even. How could that not be reassuring?

Good!

They didn't lose everything; at least they retained the initial capital to enter the food delivery business!

But Wei Lihuang, who had lived a life of luxury, couldn't possibly endure the hardship of delivering takeout.

"Waaaaah, I'm never playing with crypto again! King of Taxes, you deserve to die!"

"What you're saying is less reliable than my prostate!"

As Wei Lihuang slapped his face, he looked at the virtual currency charts all showing a downward trend and decided to close his account.

"Don't go, brother! There's a bull market!"
