Chapter 90: Chapter 80 Pear or Apple As soon as Chen Feng agreed, both Wu Mengting and Lin Wan were very happy. Wu Mengting took the groceries Chen Feng had bought and went to the kitchen to get busy, while Lin Wan, curious, asked Chen Feng about the status of his villa in the living room. "Is the villa you’re staying in bought by you, and for how much?" Lin Wan asked, her eyes shining slightly as she watched him. "No, it’s rented," replied Chen Feng, very honestly. "Rented? Why didn’t you buy?" Lin Wan seemed a bit disappointed. Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Can’t afford it." "Can’t afford it? That can’t be right, aren’t you very rich?" Lin Wan didn’t believe him. "This villa is at least 20 million now, do you think I have 20 million?" Chen Feng looked at her. Lin Wan sized him up for a moment and then said with a smile, "I feel like you do." "Thanks for your high opinion. However, what makes you think I have that much money?" Chen Feng’s clothes and overall appearance were a bit expensive for an average person, but pretty ordinary for the truly wealthy. He didn’t wear any luxury watches on his wrist, and his car was very regular. Lin Wan said with a pout, "You spend tens of thousands to take care of Sister Sun, and you’re telling me you’re short on money?" Chen Feng really couldn’t refute that. Truth be told, he wasn’t short on money now. Previously he couldn’t afford a villa by East Lake, but now he truly could. He might even consider probing the landlord about it someday. Such a house would retain its value, and it could be nice to leave it for his parents to have a vacation or convalesce in the future. Originally, the landlord mentioned that the house was intended for his parents’ retirement. "How about it? Did I guess right?" Seeing Chen Feng not refuting, Lin Wan giggled, thinking she had hit the nail on the head. "Whether you guessed right or not, what difference does it make?" Chen Feng smiled and looked at her. "You rich people really like to hide things. What era are we living in? Are you rich and still afraid of being robbed or murdered? There are plenty of people with money nowadays, some of whom flaunt it very conspicuously," Lin Wan said disdainfully. "Wealth should be kept private. Besides, I like keeping a low profile, even if I were rich, I wouldn’t show off everywhere." "So what business do you do? How did you make money?" Lin Wan asked, full of curiosity. "Stock trading." Chen Feng couldn’t say that before, but now he could. With just the words ’stock trading,’ he could explain the source of his wealth. "Does stock trading make that much money? The ones I know always seem to lose more." Lin Wan was skeptical and disappointed. The occupation of stock trading didn’t seem very reliable to her. "Just lucky," Chen Feng quipped. "You’re kidding me, right? How many can make tens of millions from stock trading? Don’t you have any inside information or other shady methods? Otherwise, why be so low key? It’s not like making money in the stock market legitimately is something to hide." Lin Wan seemed to understand the stock market quite well as she directly tried to uncover Chen Feng’s secret. Chen Feng stared at her with mock severity and said, "You know too much. Be careful or I might have to silence you." Lin Wan was taken aback, then hit him playfully and cursed with a laugh, "Get out. Who are you trying to scare? Insider stock trading and stuff, there’s plenty of that—it’s hardly a secret. But you seem like a self-made man; where would you get insider information?" Chen Feng shook his head and replied, "You’re imagining too much. If I had insider information, would I have been so impoverished before? My fortune’s come about just in these past couple of months." "You made tens of millions in one or two months?" Lin Wan was even more incredulous. Chen Feng grew curious, "How do you know I have tens of millions?" Lin Wan scoffed and said, "What’s there not to know? You can shell out tens of thousands to take care of Sister Sun, and you even thought about taking a second one, amounting to nearly a hundred thousand in expenses each month. That’s over a million a year. Would you be willing to spend that if you didn’t have tens of millions?" There was some logic to that, indeed! "Alright. You got some of it right. Moreover, I didn’t just make money from stock trading. It started with winning a few million from the lottery, then I made some more money from stock trading," Chen Feng could only explain that way. Otherwise, it would seem somewhat unreasonable. "Really? Can you actually win big with the lottery?" Lin Wan expressed doubt over Chen Feng’s story repeatedly. Chen Feng spread his hands in exasperation and said, "Believe it or not." Lin Wan scrutinized Chen Feng seriously for a while, ultimately remaining ambivalent about his explanation. Finally, she asked, "What stocks did you buy recently? Tell me so I can consult. When I was in university, I majored in finance, and I played the stock market with classmates for a while." "Dragon Horse Logistics and Qingcheng Beer. If you trust me, buy some shares too. You should be able to make some money." Since she asked, Chen Feng just mentioned it casually. After all, he considered her a friend and didn’t mind letting her make a bit of money following his lead. "Really?" Lin Wan expressed doubt once again. Chen Feng glared and protested, "Have you had enough? Why don’t you believe anything I say?" With an embarrassed smile, Lin Wan stuck out her tongue, then quickly picked up her phone and searched for these two stocks. And it turned out, both stocks were on the rise. This showed that Chen Feng wasn’t just talking nonsense. "When did you buy these two stocks?" Lin Wan asked. "Dragon Horse a few days ago, and Qingcheng yesterday." "Holy shit! Then you’re really on to something. Dragon Horse’s stock price soared just these last few days, and Qingcheng’s stock price has been increasing all day, nearly hitting the limit." "So I’m saying, if you invest now, there’s still some money to be made." "Are you sure? Some analysts online are saying that both stocks could fall at any moment. The current rapid increase suggests that there’s a manipulator behind it, purposely inflating the price to attract newbies."
