Chapter 87 of "After my divorce, I started to have good luck" begins revealing exciting developments: Chapter 87: Chapter 77: Choosing Stocks by FateShe was originally a mistress, so Chen Feng... Don’t stop now!

Chapter 87: Chapter 77: Choosing Stocks by FateShe was originally a mistress, so Chen Feng didn’t have high expectations for Xiao Ya. He wasn’t very opposed to the ambition she exhibited. To think she fancied him for his good looks and charismatic personality would only mean he was too narcissistic. In the end, it was his money that caught her eye. Of course, it was now a commodity-driven society where emotions could be bought and sold. As an adult, a man who had been divorced, Chen Feng had already lost faith in relationships. Thus, for a woman who begged to be his mistress, he harbored no great hopes. Still, Xiao Ya didn’t measure up to Sun Xiaorui in many respects, which somewhat disappointed him. It made Chen Feng start to miss Sun Xiaorui. After all, one cost fifty thousand a month, and the other thirty thousand; it seemed fair. The next morning, Xiao Ya got up early to look for a job at a tea shop. While Chen Feng lazed in bed until past ten before getting up, washing up, and going downstairs, Xiao Ya hadn’t made breakfast, nor had she saved any for him. It made Chen Feng think fondly of the days when Little Rui was around. Indeed, without a comparison, there was no awareness of the disparity. Chen Feng didn’t bother going out to eat since there were no breakfast vendors open at that time. So he made himself some sunny-side-up eggs in the kitchen. While eating his eggs, he received a WeChat message from Zhang Kewei, saying that he had gotten in touch with two other college classmates and they were planning to meet that evening. Without hesitation, Chen Feng refused. One of these classmates used to have a poor relationship with Chen Feng; they had almost come to blows once. Even several years after graduation, thinking about this classmate still filled Chen Feng with anger. He’d rather not meet at all. Since running into him last time, Zhang Kewei had sent him a few WeChat messages. This was the second time he invited him. The previous invitation had been more private, but at that time Chen Feng was intimately involved with Xiao Ya in a luxury hotel, obviously too busy to go. This time, it was because of that distasteful old classmate. Rejecting twice in a row made Chen Feng feel somewhat embarrassed, considering he had a relatively good relationship with Zhang Kewei during college. So, Chen Feng explained, "You know I can’t get along with Cao Jun, what if we end up fighting when we meet? Better not to go at all." Zhang Kewei immediately replied, "How many years has it been? You both chased Liu Ying together in college, she’s married abroad now, and her children must be several years old by now. What’s there to hold a grudge over? At least Cao Jun seems to have let it go, and even suggested meeting up." Back in their college days, both Chen Feng and Cao Jun had pursued Liu Ying, the class beauty. Chen Feng believed he had a chance, but then Cao Jun spread rumors behind his back, claiming Chen Feng bragged in the dorm that he would win Liu Ying over in two months and even bet with several guys about it. That rumor ultimately maligned Chen Feng, portraying him as arrogant, confident that Liu Ying would be easy to win over. So, when Liu Ying heard these rumors, she immediately had a horrible impression of Chen Feng and even confronted him furiously, ending any chances for him. After discovering how the rumors originated from Cao Jun, Chen Feng confronted him and slapped him, only to receive a kick in the stomach from Cao Jun. They were pulled apart by others. Since then, they had been unable to see eye to eye, up until graduation. "It’s best to avoid dealing with such a scheming person. You know how he was back then, and I advise you to stay away from him too. Otherwise, he’ll betray you without a second thought." "Hehe, he was quite scheming back then. But, we were classmates after all, plus he helped me land a big order last time. I can’t simply disregard his help." "In any case, I don’t want any dealings with him. It’s best if we never intersect again." "Okay, I give up. Just don’t come this time. But next time I invite you, you can’t keep making excuses, or we can’t be friends anymore. Three strikes, you understand?" "OK. Next time, as long as you don’t make me eat with people like Cao Jun, I’ll definitely agree." "Good, remember what you said." Chen Feng smiled and put down his phone. Zhang Kewei was not a bad guy. He was the only classmate Chen Feng could still connect with in Xiu Zhou, so he valued him quite a bit. If he invited him again next time, Chen Feng would definitely have to go, or else, as Zhang Kewei said, they could no longer be friends. Chen Feng then sent a WeChat message to Sun Xiaorui. Her father had successfully been transferred to a hospital in Shanghai a couple of days ago, and they said he was going to have surgery this morning. Chen Feng naturally wanted to ask how it was going. Sun Xiaorui replied quickly. The surgery was still underway, and she was very worried. Chen Feng quickly consoled her and cheered her up. After about fifteen minutes, her mood stabilized, and she ended the contact on her own. Her sweetness and empathy made Chen Feng increasingly pleased with her, especially in comparison to Xiao Ya, who was the backup. Sun Xiaorui stood out as particularly excellent. After eating fried eggs, Chen Feng went back to the East Lake Villa. It was not far by car, just about ten minutes’ drive. He felt a bit more comfortable on this side of East Lake. Back in his room, he opened his laptop and finally checked the stocks he had purchased last time. Dragon Horse Logistics. When he bought it, it was at 4.5 yuan. A few days had passed, and the stock price had risen to 6.8 yuan. That was quite a significant increase. Chen Feng was not surprised by this. After all, it had been like a charm the past few days, the price had increased by more than two yuan, and he held one million shares. If he were to sell them now, he could make a profit of more than two million. That was indeed faster than robbing a bank. Of course, the assumption was that the stock must continue rising; otherwise, going broke could happen just as quickly. Chen Feng went online to check the situation with Dragon Horse Logistics but couldn’t find any positive news that might explain the significant spike in the stock price. This was quite strange. But Chen Feng didn’t mind these details; he continued to hold onto the million shares of Dragon Horse Logistics. He planned to sell them after a month. At the moment, he didn’t really care about the profit of over two million. After looking at Dragon Horse Logistics, Chen Feng used the stock trading software and randomly chose another stock, purchasing one million shares, or ten thousand hands. The stock was called Qingcheng Beer, and the purchase price was exactly 10 yuan. That is, without counting the commission, Chen Feng spent ten million directly on this stock. Chen Feng was very calm about it. He believed his luck would continue to defy expectations. After spending over ten million like this, Chen Feng didn’t care anymore. This time, he planned to wait and see after a couple of weeks. He himself was not really interested in stock trading; he just thought it was a fast way to make money and also a way to cover up the source of his sudden wealth, so he just dabbled in it. He closed the computer, stood up, and went up to the second-floor balcony, looking far ahead. A hundred meters away, East Lake glimmered under the sunshine. It was another beautiful day. Chen Feng decided to take a walk by East Lake and find somewhere nearby to have lunch. He couldn’t let such good weather and beautiful scenery go to waste.
