“Instead of wasting your time, focus more on reading legitimate financial information and less on gossip.”

As Liu Yue reached the door, she overheard the students discussing. To prevent her authority from being undermined, she reprimanded them sternly. The incident of claiming a husband on Weibo had really damaged her image among the students. If she didn’t establish authority now, how could she manage them in the future?

With a stern expression, Liu Yue looked at the students seated below and continued, “Have you all forgotten what I said during the last practical class?”

Upon hearing this, all the students, except for Mu Zhaozhao and Wen Jing, immediately stood up from their seats, ready to listen. This was a theoretical class, not a practical one.

Liu Yue took a piece of chalk and wrote down the topics for today’s lecture on the blackboard, then began preparing her explanation.

At that moment, someone leisurely walked into the classroom. It was none other than Wang Haoran, who had been granted special privileges by Liu Yue.

If the Weibo incident hadn’t occurred, Liu Yue would have let Wang Haoran be. However, to reestablish her authority and minimize the incident’s impact on her credibility, she had to change course.

Liu Yue stated, “Those who are late, stand outside the door and listen to the class.”

Wang Haoran, intending to find a seat, paused upon hearing Liu Yue’s words and asked in surprise, “Does Professor Liu go back on her words?”

Liu Yue replied, “Of course I don’t, but the privilege I granted kicks in after a year.”

Wang Haoran sighed, “Professor Liu, is it really fair to be so unreasonable?”

Liu Yue remained unfazed, “I have the ultimate right of interpretation!”

Wang Haoran said, “I protest.”

Liu Yue replied, “Protest is ineffective. I am the teacher, you are the student. In the classroom, the student must follow the teacher’s rules. Unless you surpass my skills and aren’t in need of my teaching, then you can do as you please.”

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, “Good idea. You should remember the previous discussion about turning ten thousand into a hundredfold, right?”

With this reminder, Liu Yue recalled the previous challenge and said, “Turning ten thousand into a million?”

Wang Haoran smiled, “Yes, exactly.”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s confidence, Liu Yue’s heart skipped a beat, fearing he might actually succeed. To play it safe, Liu Yue cleverly said, “Fine, if you can turn ten thousand into a million within three days, then you’re impressive and can enjoy privileges like arriving late or leaving early in my class.”

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but smile, correcting her, “It’s supposed to be a week!”

Liu Yue snorted lightly, “I clearly remember it was three days.”

Hearing this, Wang Haoran realized Liu Yue was being deliberately unreasonable. However, she still underestimated him.

Wang Haoran said, “Alright, let me use your computer, Professor Liu, to log into the account I registered during the practical class and see the current balance.” As he spoke, he walked up to the podium.

Liu Yue always had her laptop with her, both for teaching and stock trading.

Wang Haoran sat on the stool and operated Liu Yue’s laptop, quickly opening his account.

Liu Yue leaned forward to look at the account balance.

“One million one hundred and ninety thousand. Are you just faking this for fun?” Seeing the balance, Liu Yue immediately sneered.

Wang Haoran said calmly, “The account has detailed transaction history. It’s clear whether it was earned from ten thousand or directly deposited.”

Liu Yue didn’t believe it. To expose Wang Haoran, she immediately opened the transaction records to verify.

The account had nearly a thousand transaction records, which made Liu Yue’s eyes blur. However, it was indeed clear that the current balance of one million one hundred and ninety thousand had been earned from an initial ten thousand.

In three days, turning ten thousand into over a hundredfold?!

Seeing this remarkable profit, Liu Yue almost lost her balance, stumbling slightly but catching herself from falling.

Fortunately, Wang Haoran reached out in time to steady her.

Liu Yue straightened up, looking at Wang Haoran in disbelief.

[Ding, female lead Liu Yue’s favorability towards the host increased by 10, current total favorability is 40 (very friendly).]

[Ding, the host has influenced the plot direction, gaining 500 villain points!]

Liu Yue asked incredulously, “In three days, how did you turn ten thousand into one million one hundred and ninety thousand?!”

Below the podium, all the students, including Lin Chen, looked at Wang Haoran, waiting for his answer.

Lin Chen had previously achieved a similar feat of multiplying his investment many times over, but that was due to a rare market opportunity. Lately, he had been monitoring the M stock market, and with suspensions and a downturn, achieving such a hundredfold profit was truly astonishing!

“This guy must be manipulating too!” Lin Chen concluded.

In response to Liu Yue’s question, Wang Haoran merely smiled, “It’s a secret.”

Then, Wang Haoran communicated with the system. The charm aura was available to use.

Liu Yue’s favorability was already at 40. Increasing it by another 10 points could lead to admiration.

If not now, when?

[Ding, charm aura usage failed!]

What’s happening?

Why can’t it be used again?

Receiving the system’s prompt, Wang Haoran was puzzled.

Previously, with Qiu Qianwei and Ji Shuiyao, a similar situation occurred, but after showcasing exceptional skills, the charm aura worked. And Liu Yue was set up as a financial genius!

Achieving such results in just three days should fit her criteria for choosing a partner.

With questions in mind, Wang Haoran communicated with the system, “Why did the charm aura fail?”

“Replying to the host, an identity barrier exists between the female lead Liu Yue and the host, preventing the charm aura from making Liu Yue admire the host.”

“What identity barrier?”

“Teacher, student.”

Upon receiving the system’s reply, Wang Haoran understood but couldn’t help but think it was peculiar.

Liu Yue seemed like a modern woman, so why uphold such an old-fashioned view?

Teacher-student relationships aren’t a huge concern these days.

Should he drop out to break this identity barrier? But that’s a significant step, one that isn’t feasible.

Wait, besides being a student, he had another mysterious identity!

“Got it!”

Wang Haoran’s eyes lit up as he immediately schemed a plan to deal with Liu Yue.
