After buying the groceries, Su Chen returned home to start preparing for the seafood feast that evening.
This included cleaning the lobsters, hairy crabs, and clams, as well as deveining the lobsters.
These tasks were quite time-consuming.
For a novice, the claws of the lobsters and the pincers of the hairy crabs would surely cause unbearable pain.
However, for Su Chen, who had grasped the God-tier Chef Skill, this was not a problem at all.
The lobsters and hairy crabs could only obediently be handled by him.
"Ding ding ding..." His phone rang. It was a video call from his friend Chen Peng.
Su Chen freed one hand and pressed the 'answer' button.
Chen Peng's excited voice immediately came through, "Old Su, you're incredible! I cleared out my stock early this morning and bought the stock you recommended."
"And it went up 3% today!"
"I've made back 3% instantly!"
"I'm treating tonight, you pick the place!"
"Whoa, what are you washing there? Damn! Such big lobsters! Those must be Australian lobsters! At least 5,000 yuan each!! You're loaded!"
He had never eaten such expensive lobsters before!
He had only seen them on TV!
He never expected Su Chen to buy so many. There were three in the sink alone, and he was cleaning another one in his hand!
Su Chen smiled and said, "Yes, they are Australian lobsters. Congratulations on making money. Just hold on tight, and don't do anything until I tell you to sell, and you'll keep making money."
"Also, as you can see, I'm washing lobsters, so I won't be coming for dinner tonight. I need to make a seafood feast for my precious daughters at home."
Chen Peng was shocked, not by the fact that he could make big money following Su Chen.
But rather, "Old Su, we've been brothers for over ten years, and I've never even had a meal cooked by you. I always thought you only knew how to cook instant noodles and rice."
"I never expected you could make a seafood feast!"
"And you're not afraid to wash lobsters! My goodness, last time my mom bought a bunch of crawfish and asked me to help wash them, I got a bruise on my thumb from the claws, and it still hasn't healed. It hurt so much!"
"How come these lobsters don't pinch you in your hands!" Chen Peng saw from the video that the lobsters were like obedient little pets, only wiggling their small claws and gently grasping in the air, never attempting to pinch Su Chen's hand.
Su Chen chuckled, "What would I cook for a big guy like you?"
"I'm not bragging, but my cooking skills are actually pretty good, haha."
"As for the lobsters, there's a trick to it. See, you press down on this spot with your hand, and then hold it from the front like this, and even if it wants to pinch you, it can't!"
"That's true! Wow, Old Su, so you've been hiding all these skills! Not only can you pick stocks, but you're also a master chef!" Chen Peng was greatly astonished.
"Oh, and I heard from Old Luo today that you bought a 1.5 million yuan seven-seater Alphard nanny van! That's amazing!"
"Well, since I have five daughters now, my Volkswagen wasn't enough for them to sit in, so I specifically bought a seven-seater nanny van," Su Chen said with a smile.
Chen Peng remarked, "That's true. With five daughters and their mother, your family of seven really needs a seven-seater car for outings."
"Like me, I'm all alone now, so I don't have those worries. I really envy you!"
"Speaking of which, you bought a 1.5 million yuan car, why didn't you tell your brother? Did you get a bank loan? The interest rates are high!"
"How much did you borrow?"
"I have some savings, I'll lend it to you first, you can use it to pay it back." Chen Peng offered.
Su Chen faced his loyal brother and smiled, "I paid for it in full, no debt."
"What? Paid in full? 1.5 million in full?!" Chen Peng's eyes widened in shock. "Where did you get so much money? You're not fooling me, are you? I really don't need any money right now, just leave me some living expenses and my mortgage payments, I can lend you the rest."
"You have five adult daughters to support, and there are many expenses. If you take out a loan for a car, how much pressure would that be?"
"You can pay me back that money in ten or twenty years, it's all the same."
Su Chen helplessly washed his hands, then picked up his phone, took a screenshot of his stock backend, and sent it to Chen Peng.
After putting down his phone, he continued washing the lobsters and said, "In case you don't believe me, I sent you a screenshot of my stock backend. Take a look, I'm really making a lot of money now."
"This car was also bought with the money I earned from trading stocks."
"I still have over 1 million yuan in my bank account that I haven't put into the stock account."
Chen Peng gasped, "Holy cow!!! Amazing!! Old Su, you're truly amazing!"
"The stock you bought, you've already earned 13%!"
"In just one day, you made over 160,000 yuan!"
"Damn!!! That's incredible, what you earned in a day is more than the money in my stock account!"
"Can I buy this stock too?"
He finally believed that Su Chen had indeed paid for the 1.5 million yuan car in full.
His stock account alone had nearly 1.7 million yuan!
And he still had over 1 million yuan in savings!
There was no need to borrow money to buy a car at all.
Su Chen cautioned, "Don't buy it. This stock is very high-risk, and I don't hold it all the time. Look at its past K-line charts; it drops very sharply."
"You're writing a novel and don't specialize in stocks. It's safer to buy the one I recommended to you."
"Okay, Old Su, I'll listen to you!" Chen Peng was tempted by the stock Su Chen was buying, but its past K-line charts showed extremely large fluctuations.
It was a super high-risk stock.
If he bought it, he would probably have to stare at the stock all day and wouldn't have the mental energy to write his novel.
His main business was still writing novels; trading stocks was just a way to relax when he got tired from writing.
"Old Su, about the bookstore I suggested yesterday, when are you planning to get it started? We need to hurry, don't let your competitors get ahead," Chen Peng reminded him.
Su Chen smiled and said, "Mm, I remember. I've already written the plan. I'll have a meeting with the employees at the bookstore tomorrow, and then we can get started."
"Mm-hmm, that's good~~"
Meanwhile, Su Yinuo.
She kept checking her phone screen to see the time.
Three minutes until class ended!
As soon as class ended, she would immediately go to her Dad.
She needed to explain everything that happened before to her Dad.
After figuring things out at noon, she had returned to her dorm to change her clothes.
She had changed back into her usual attire.
She wanted to be her true self in front of her Dad.
She also believed that whether she was in punk style or lady-like style, her Dad would definitely like her~
One more minute.
Very good.
The dismissal bell rang!
The noise of students from other classes could already be heard outside the door, along with shouts of 'Let's go eat, let's go eat!'
Excited, thrilled, and anticipating~
