The observers around Liu Yue, noting her confident demeanor, felt their doubts ease.

When the market opened, Liu Yue swiftly operated the computer, investing 200 million. The dozen people around her followed, investing everything from ten thousand to a million into Yaochi Liquor Industry.

Once they completed their purchases, everyone watched the stock chart anxiously.

“Why is it dropping instead of rising?” someone questioned, puzzled by the declining chart.

Liu Yue reassured them, “This minor fluctuation is normal. It will rise soon.”

Her words calmed them slightly.

However, after ten minutes, the stock continued to fall instead of rising, plummeting by -7%.

“Professor Liu, is this still within the normal range?” someone asked again, concerned.

Liu Yue studied the chart, falling silent. This was beyond her expectations.

Unlike the M market’s T+0 system, this was T+1, meaning stocks bought today could only be sold the next trading day.

In the next half hour, a dozen people watched helplessly as the stock hit its limit down.

Disheartened, they turned to Liu Yue.

Embarrassed, Liu Yue said, “I misjudged this time. Next time, when I find a stable stock, I’ll let you know so you can recover your losses.”

The market’s rise and fall limits are generally around 10%.

Liu Yue’s colleagues were financially secure and could handle the 10% loss, so they didn’t blame her.

The most considerable loss was Liu Yue’s. She had bought 200 million in stocks, losing 20 million.

However, her wealth meant she wasn’t too concerned about the financial loss; her reputation was more important.

This mistake was the biggest in Liu Yue’s career—a stock predicted to rise hit the limit down, a significant misjudgment.

Feeling dizzy, Liu Yue opened Weibo. Her colleagues didn’t blame her for the losses incurred by following her analysis, but online reactions might be different. On the internet, anonymity often leads to harsher criticism.

Liu Yue quickly edited a Weibo post, acknowledging her error.

The post had two key messages: first, warning against following last night’s market analysis, and second, an apology to those who bought stocks based on her advice.

After posting, she waited for the comments.

The first comment soon appeared.

“Peerless Stock God: ‘How does it feel to be wrong, stock market guru?’”

Liu Yue was irritated but didn’t respond aggressively like she had the previous day.

Liu Yue: “Friend, how did you predict that Yaochi Liquor Industry would fall?”

Peerless Stock God: “Call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll tell you.”

Liu Yue: “Friend, I’m genuinely interested in discussing market trends with you. Will you share your insights?”

Peerless Stock God: “If I share for free, you’ll just learn my techniques. You’ll need to offer something in return.”

Liu Yue frowned. Calling him ‘husband’ was out of the question.

She tried a different approach: “I suspect you just guessed. It was a lucky shot, not a true analysis.”

Peerless Stock God: “Yes, you’re absolutely right.” Wang Haoran wasn’t taking the bait.

Seeing this, Liu Yue didn’t push further and turned to analyzing tomorrow’s market trends.

…

That evening, Liu Yue returned to her villa. The sixth sister was reading on the couch, and the seventh sister was in the kitchen making fried noodles.

After the meal was ready, Liu Yue and Ji Shuiyao were invited to try out the food again.

With the previous day’s experience, Qiu Qianwei’s cooking had improved.

While the noodles still weren’t spectacular, they were at least edible.

As encouragement, Liu Yue and Ji Shuiyao finished their servings.

Afterwards, Ji Shuiyao returned to her reading.

Meanwhile, Liu Yue shared her predictions for tomorrow’s market trends on Weibo, tagging Peerless Stock God.

“Want to try your luck again?” she asked.

Curious, Qiu Qianwei joined her and asked, “Fifth sister, who is this Peerless Stock God you mentioned?”

Liu Yue explained, “A netizen who challenged my market analysis yesterday and was right today. But when I asked about his methods, he wouldn’t tell me. I think he was just lucky.”

“So, I posted another analysis for tomorrow and tagged him. Let’s see if his luck holds.”

…

In a male dormitory, Wang Haoran opened Weibo and immediately noticed he had been tagged.

He quickly understood the situation and reviewed Liu Yue’s post.

Perhaps due to today’s crash, Liu Yue’s predictions for tomorrow were less definitive, focusing on sector trends.

Her analysis mentioned two main sectors: pharmaceutical and biological, and catering.

She predicted a downward trend for the pharmaceutical and biological sector and an upward trend for catering.

After reviewing the forecast, Wang Haoran checked the expected sector fluctuations.

Indeed, the catering sector would perform as Liu Yue predicted, with some stocks even reaching the limit up.

However, Liu Yue’s assessment of the pharmaceutical and biological sector was only partly correct.

The sector would remain sluggish until 2:50 PM, after which it would surge, with most stocks gaining.

Understanding the trend, Wang Haoran commented on Liu Yue’s post.

“Buying stocks in the pharmaceutical and biological sector tomorrow is like picking up money.”
