At a critical moment, the computer unexpectedly shut down!

Lin Chen saw the dark screen and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly bent down, reconnected the power cord that had been kicked out, and pressed the power button on the computer.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, Lin Chen couldn’t help but glance at Mu Zhaozhao.

Mu Zhaozhao, with her cute, doll-like face, said weakly, “Lin Chen, I didn’t mean to. You won’t blame me, will you?”

“No… it’s okay, it was an accident,” Lin Chen was initially a bit upset, but faced with such an adorable girl, he couldn’t bring himself to blame her.

After about forty seconds, the computer finally powered back on. Lin Chen quickly opened the securities software, logged into his account, and checked the fluctuations of the stock he had sold.

Seeing the stock plummet dramatically, Lin Chen felt extremely frustrated but hurried to sell all his shares. However, selling stocks takes time, especially when the stock is dropping fast, and no one would foolishly choose to buy in directly.

Lin Chen stared at the computer screen, feeling utterly helpless. All he could do now was wait.

[Ding! The host’s behind-the-scenes manipulation disrupted the protagonist Lin Chen’s chance to show off, earning 600 villain points. Lin Chen’s protagonist halo -30, host’s villain halo +30.]

Receiving the system’s notification, Wang Haoran smiled secretly but continued his computer operations without pause. In just twenty minutes, his investments grew from 5,000 to 5,890. Although the profit didn’t seem much, the return rate was an impressive 17.8% in about twenty minutes!

Wang Haoran continued to trade steadily as time passed, reaching 10:25 PM.

At this moment, Liu Yue from the podium reminded, “There are five minutes left before the practical course ends.”

During these 55 minutes, Liu Yue also traded stocks using her account. Her initial operating capital was 50 million M currency, which she grew to 58.25 million, achieving a return rate of 16.5%. The profit, when converted to domestic currency, amounted to about 53.2 million!

Within just 55 minutes, she earned 53.2 million. In the final five minutes, Liu Yue didn’t operate her account anymore. Instead, she walked down from the podium and observed the students’ results, noting them but without making comments.

However, as she passed by Wang Haoran, she was astonished by his computer screen and stopped. Wang Haoran’s account had grown from an initial 5000 to 8,270 with a return rate of 65.4% in just over fifty minutes, achieving an extraordinary return rate.

Although Liu Yue was young, only 22 years old, she had been trading stocks for 12 years. In her financial career, her highest return rate in about an hour was 88.6%. Among her students, the highest return rate ever achieved in a practical class was just 32.2%, widely considered remarkable.

Wang Haoran’s return was more than double that. Liu Yue nodded approvingly, “Impressive, what’s your name?”

Wang Haoran responded politely, “Professor Liu, my name is Wang Haoran.”

Liu Yue nodded, making a mental note of his name. As time was running out, Wang Haoran quickly resumed his operations, planning to go all-in on a stock. However, just as he was about to click the purchase confirmation button, Liu Yue suddenly warned him, “This energy car stock has risen too much and has peaked. Going all-in at this high point could lead to significant losses.”

Wang Haoran paused and replied, “Professor Liu, I think this stock still has room to rise. I want to buy it.”

Liu Yue seriously cautioned, “I’ve studied this stock and can confidently say it’s a bubble stock. It could burst at any moment, leaving you with nothing.”

Wang Haoran insisted, “Professor Liu, I also see it’s a bubble stock, but I believe it’s not quite at the bursting point. Buying now and selling at the right time could definitely yield a big profit.”

Liu Yue frowned, “Do you think you know better than I do? I’ve told you this stock can’t be bought. Why won’t you listen?”

Wang Haoran remained firm, “I really think it’s worth buying!”

Liu Yue’s frustration grew, “You might have talent in finance, but you’re too stubborn and unwilling to heed advice. With such reckless behavior, even if you earn a lot, you could lose everything overnight. This is a major taboo in our field!”

Ignoring Liu Yue’s frustration, Wang Haoran saw the predictive data in his mind and clicked the purchase confirmation button.

Seeing his decision, Liu Yue’s expression darkened, “Truly a piece of dead wood that cannot be carved!”

She turned and walked away angrily, finding Wang Haoran increasingly infuriating. Despite his talent, Liu Yue valued obedience in her students. She believed that only obedient students could fully learn from her teachings, making a mark in the stock market.

[Ding! Liu Yue’s favorability towards the host decreased by 20. Total favorability is now 0 (strangers).]

Hearing the system’s notification, Wang Haoran was momentarily stunned. This was the first time he heard of a female lead’s favorability decreasing.

Liu Yue returned to the podium, and with an authoritative presence, addressed the students sternly, “Time’s up. Hands off the keyboard and mouse, stop all operations!”

Due to Liu Yue’s strong presence, she had established her authority, prompting all students to comply, including Wang Haoran, because he knew the stock would continue to rise and there was no need to sell immediately.
