Slapping Chen Hao

Time ticked by second by second, and the classroom was filled with the silence of people awaiting judgment.

In the final three minutes before the market closed—

The previously smooth downward intraday line was suddenly lifted by several consecutive, resolute buy orders!

The decline rapidly narrowed: 2%... 1.5%... 1%...

The Buying Pressure was not frenzied, but exceptionally steady, order after order, as though someone were deliberately supporting the price.

In the final minute, a buy order exceeding five thousand lots appeared decisively, pulling the stock price into the green in one stroke!

The closing bell rang.

The price on the screen finally settled at: 25.26 yuan.

Gain: +1.98%.

Completely contrary to Chen Hao's prediction of a limit-down, Sanjiang Shopping staged a reversal in late trading and stubbornly closed in the green.

"Whoa—" The classroom instantly erupted!

"It rose! It really rose!"

"They pulled it up at the close! Zhao Chen was right!"

"Chen Hao got it wrong..."

Shouts, discussions, and incredulous exclamations tangled together.

Chen Hao's face instantly reddened. He stared fixedly at that red gain figure, his lips moving, yet he could not produce a single convincing rebuttal.

Under the gaze of so many people, he felt more humiliated than ever before.

"Th-this was just a late-session sneak attack! It Cannot Change anything!" The sneer at the corner of his mouth froze, while a flash of panic at being publicly exposed—and deeper resentment—flickered through his eyes.

He forced his voice to remain steady, but everyone could hear how lacking in confidence he was. "This kind of end-of-day pump usually opens lower and falls further the next day!"

Yet by then, few people were seriously listening to his excuses.

More eyes turned toward Zhao Chen, who was packing up his things.

Zhao Chen showed none of a victor's smugness.

Shen Zhiyi looked up, her star-bright eyes shining as she secretly gave him a thumbs-up. The smile at her lips was gentle and proud.

Zhao Chen gave her an almost imperceptible nod. In the instant their gazes met, a silent warmth passed between them.

He stood and walked to the front row, politely saying to Chen Xi, "Teacher Chen, I'll be leaving first."

Chen Xi looked at him, her gaze deep behind her lenses. She noticed that Zhao Chen's calmness at that moment was completely different from the sharpness he had shown during the debate, yet equally impressive. She slowly nodded and said only one word: "Alright."

Yet that single "alright" carried more weight than any praise.

Zhao Chen walked out of the classroom, shutting the clamor, amazement, unwillingness, and admiration behind the door.

The last glow of the setting sun streamed through the window at the end of the corridor, stretching his shadow long.

He knew that today's victory was only a microcosm.

The true game was advancing step by step according to his plan on another battlefield—broader and crueler.

And he was ready.

December 1st, Zhou Xi.

When the A-share market opened, Sanjiang Shopping, after its late-session surge and daylong volatility the previous day, did not "open low and keep falling" as Chen Hao had predicted. Instead, it opened slightly higher at 25.52 yuan.

For the first five minutes after the open, the stock price lingered briefly above the previous day's closing price, as if gathering strength.

At 9:40, a five-thousand-lot medium-sized order directly ignited bullish sentiment. The stock price began climbing steadily, its intraday line like a fully drawn bowstring, attacking upward with almost no pullback.

Just after ten o'clock, the sell orders piled up at 26.50 yuan were swept clean, and the stock price hit the daily limit!

Though it no longer displayed the extreme strength of a one-word limit-up, and the limit was opened several times during the session, each time it opened, even more resolute Buying Pressure quickly sealed it back up.

After 2:30 p.m., the limit-up board was finally sealed completely, all the way until the close.

28.07 yuan, +10.00%.

More than 150,000 lots were queued at the limit-up price.

When this result spread through various channels to the School of Economic Law at Zhengfa University after the market closed that afternoon, the shock it caused was obvious.

In the tiered classroom, Chen Hao had pointed at the brief sideways movement after the morning open and told those around him, "See? It's at the end of its rope. It'll plunge any second now."

By the afternoon, his expression had turned so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it, and he avoided nearly every gaze directed his way.

Every time the classroom door opened and a late-arriving student came in excitedly whispering, "Sanjiang hit limit-up," it was like an invisible slap across his face.

Meanwhile, the discussions about Zhao Chen were like a stone dropped into a still lake, the ripples spreading wider and wider.

In the WeChat group "Future Rich Wife Health Tea Party."

The atmosphere in the group was completely different from outside. It was another kind of blazing excitement.

[Zhou Xiaowen: Aaaaaah! Limit-up! Another limit-up! (Screenshot: Position P&L +11.18%) Shuhua! Jingjing! Hurry and look! My two thousand shares! Two thousand shares! (Emoji: spiraling into the sky on the spot)]

[Li Jing: (Screenshot: Position P&L +11.15%) Mm, I saw it. My 11,800 shares went up too. (Emoji: smile) Thank you, Zhao Chen.]

[Chen Shuhua: (Screenshot: Position P&L +11.21%) Market sentiment is still concentrated on the "New Retail" main theme. As the purest target, Sanjiang is enjoying a leader's premium.

Today's Turnover Rate is healthy, and the structure of the limit-up buy queue is stable as well. @Zhao Chen According to your framework, can this be understood as a strengthening capital consensus during the "logic validation phase"?]

[Shen Zhiyi: You girls... Good thing you listened to Zhao Chen the day before yesterday and bought decisively.]

[Zhou Xiaowen: Of course we had to listen! Wherever God Zhao points, that's where I strike! Zhiyi, you have no idea—I even took an advance on next semester's living expenses! I'm just waiting to get rich with God Zhao! (Emoji: hugging his thigh tightly)]
