Stock Investment Card

"What should we eat?"

"Just fried chicken isn't festive enough."

"Hotpot would be a good choice in the dead of winter, but there's no hotpot setup at home."

"Besides, I don't know whether my daughter likes spicy food. I like it spicy, but if I make the hotpot spicy and she doesn't enjoy eating it, that wouldn't be good."

"Then, barbecue!"

"Barbecue in winter is wonderfully warm, too."

"And girls at school seem to really like barbecue. Every time night falls, that barbecue street is packed with young men and women sitting there eating skewers."

"Let's have that. If you want it spicy, you can add chili powder; if you don't, just add cumin powder and other seasonings."

"Most importantly, I can find out what dishes my daughter likes."

"I wasn't part of the first eighteen years of my daughter's life."

"But in every year of my daughter's life from now on, she'll have me as her dad~~"

Having decided what to eat, all that remained was to buy the ingredients.

Su Chen first went to the supermarket next door and bought an electric barbecue grill, along with various seasoning packets, tools, and other barbecue supplies.

He had the owner deliver them straight to his home.

Then he went to a stall that specialized in selling fresh barbecue ingredients.

The stall owner was Chen Mei, the wife of one of his old classmates.

"Su Chen, our family just got a fresh batch of beef skewers and lamb skewers. Want to buy some today?" Chen Mei greeted Su Chen warmly.

"I just saw you buying a barbecue grill next door. Are you planning to have barbecue at home?"

"Your balcony is pretty big. Having barbecue on a snowy day like this would be absolutely wonderful."

"Dad, you're here. I've finished buying my things." The little girl came over carrying the things she had bought.

Her gaze immediately landed on the barbecue skewers at the stall.

Seeing her eyes light up, Su Chen realized she was quite the little glutton and wanted barbecue.

It seemed his guess had been right. His daughter liked barbecue.

He smiled and said, "Mm, Chen Mei, this is my daughter, Su Zihan. Hanhan, this is Aunt Chen. Say hello."

"Hello, Aunt Chen~~" Su Zihan was very polite.

Chen Mei was stunned.

Su Chen had a daughter?

Wasn't he still unmarried?

Could he have been secretly married?

No, that couldn't be right. This daughter looked to be eighteen already.

If Su Chen had such a grown daughter, there was no way she wouldn't have heard even a whisper about it.

Chen Mei was itching with gossip, but she didn't rashly ask. Smiling, she said, "Hello, Zihan. Su Chen, your daughter is so pretty and so well-behaved."

"Mm, Hanhan, pick whichever skewers you want to eat."

"Dad, are we really buying barbecue skewers? But these need to be grilled, don't they?"

Chen Mei said with a smile, "Your dad just bought a barbecue grill from the supermarket next door. He's incredibly thoughtful. Zihan, go ahead and pick your skewers. Later, Auntie will give you a twenty percent discount."

"Wow, twenty percent off! Okay, thank you, Auntie."

After saying that, the little girl turned around and looked at Su Chen with crescent-shaped smiling eyes. "Dad, you're so good to Hanhan~"

"Ding... Congratulations, Host. You are faced with a choice."

"Choice One: Accept your daughter's kiss on the cheek. Reward: 250,000 yuan in cash."

"Choice Two: When your daughter leans in to kiss you, push her away and refuse the kiss on the cheek. Reward: one Lincoln MKZ sedan worth 300,000 yuan."

"Choice Three: When your daughter kisses the Host's cheek, the Host takes the initiative to kiss his daughter on the forehead. Reward: one Stock Investment Card."

By the time the system appeared, the little girl's exquisitely beautiful face had already moved close.

Her face grew larger and larger in his vision. He could even see the tiny downy hairs on her fair skin.

At that moment, his brain completely crashed.

He had no way to rationally consider the system's choices. His body had already made its most faithful choice.

Instead of letting the little girl kiss his cheek, he kissed her forehead, gently patted her little head, and said dotingly, "Dad will treat Hanhan even better from now on."

And the other four daughters, too~

He would treat all of them very well.

"Mm-hmm, Dad, then I'll keep picking skewers." After Su Chen kissed her forehead, Su Zihan happily went with Chen Mei to choose barbecue skewers.

"Ding... Congratulations, Host, for making your choice. Reward: one Stock Investment Card."

"Would the Host like to activate the Stock Investment Card now?"

"Activate!"

As his command rang out, a virtual, computer-screen-like display glowing blue appeared before Su Chen.

On the screen was a daily K-line chart for a stock, showing a year's worth of candlesticks.

"Host, the Stock Investment Card contains three stocks: conservative, steady, and aggressive."

"What the Host is currently seeing is the conservative stock. Swipe your finger to the left to view the steady and aggressive stocks."

"The Host can see this stock's daily K-line chart for the year ahead, starting from today."

When Su Chen was bored, he would usually dabble in stocks and funds as well. However, he only invested a little, around twenty or thirty thousand yuan, purely to pass the time or as a topic to chat about when eating, drinking, and talking with friends.

He could still read stock K-line charts.

He immediately checked all three stocks.

The conservative one rose in a straight line. It never fell throughout the entire year, only climbed, with a yearly increase of fifty percent.

As expected of something produced by the system—it was insanely awesome!

With this thing, he could make money even buying with his eyes closed.

And a stock that rose fifty percent in a year was already incredible!

Don't be fooled by all the people trading stocks. The longer they traded, the more likely they were to lose money. Basically, eight out of ten people lost money.

For those who made money, earning an annual return of twenty percent was already very good, and that was only if they happened to catch a small bull market along the way.

In a bear market like the current one, getting a fifty percent gain in a year was practically the same as winning the lottery.

He continued looking.

The steady stock's K-line chart was like climbing a slope, slowly inching upward. There were small dips in the middle, but it quickly rose back up. Its yearly increase was one hundred percent.

That meant doubling his money.

This one was even more impressive!

Then there was the aggressive stock's K-line chart. Its fluctuations were much greater: first it climbed, then plunged deep, then surged again, then suffered a terrifying drop, then rocketed upward, ultimately reaching a yearly gain of three hundred percent.

"Phew—!" Even Su Chen couldn't help letting out a breath.

It truly was high risk, high reward!

The fluctuations were huge, but if he held on and held steady, his money would directly triple!

This felt amazing!

The system was truly considerate, directly offering three types of Stock Investment Cards.

He could see the stock codes for all three investment cards.

He planned to buy the aggressive stock.

Su Chen checked the time. It was one-thirty in the afternoon.

This stock had been rising for the past week, so he could buy it directly now.

When it reached a high point and was about to fall, he would sell it, then buy it again at the very bottom. By trading back and forth like that, he would definitely make far more than three times his money in a year!

Haha, the system was too awesome!

With a system, even an elementary school student could trade stocks.

There was absolutely no risk.

So easy!

Su Chen transferred 1.5 million yuan into his stock account and bought the stock.

There were still 100,000 yuan left on his card for emergencies.

The moment he bought it, his stock account turned green with gains. He was making money.

This was awesome!

When buying stocks, you hoped they would rise the moment you bought them and fall the moment you sold them.

Haha~~~

It could still rise another three percent today, which meant he could earn 45,000 yuan today.

He was truly making money while lying down. So comfortable~
