After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Under this mindset, when Chen Feng made his move again, and this time he bought five stocks, Zhuo Libin and his subordinate managers dared not follow suit.

They all knew the police had their eyes on Chen Feng. Following Chen Feng in buying stocks now would be akin to confessing without coercion.

So, they endured the great temptation of money and torment, watching the five stocks slowly begin to rise daily, the psychological distress was indescribably painful.

This continued for more than a month, yet there seemed to be no sign of Chen Feng being arrested by the police, which made their hearts ache even more.

Then, just as Zhuo Libin was hesitating whether to follow, he received a phone call from the head office. They said a VIP client wanted to open an account at his branch office, and he should do his utmost to cooperate and meet all his requirements.

Then, he received a call from this VIP client, named Tao Yaoyang. Although he wasn't a local from Xiu Zhou, having stayed here for almost three years, he had heard of his big name. Suddenly, he paid a great deal of attention.

The Tao family as a notable and prestigious family in Xiu Zhou, made Tao Yaoyang the local powerful figure here, so Zhuo Libin had to serve him with extra caution.

Therefore, after they agreed to meet this morning, Zhuo Libin arrived early at seven o'clock to wait for him.

He waited till nine o'clock when the courteous, elegant, and handsome Tao Yaoyang finally arrived.

Zhuo Libin personally waited at the department's door for Tao Yaoyang and then took him directly to his general manager's office.

Once they were alone in the room, Tao Yaoyang sat on the sofa, smoking a cigar, and casually revealed his intentions: "I need to check the account information of a client from your company, you could do that for me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Libin's heart tightened, and a troubled look appeared on his face. But recalling the chairman's personal call earlier, he could only squeeze out a smile and ask: "May I ask why Mr. Tao wants to look at this client's information?"

Tao Yaoyang cast a faint glance at him, exhaled a smoke ring, then extended a finger to lightly point at him, saying with a stern tone: "You're lucky this time! Here's the thing, I know this person is extremely skilled in stock trading, I want to follow him to make some money. You know what I mean? This matter must be kept completely confidential, and you must personally manage his trading information without revealing it to any third party, otherwise, I can responsibly tell you, you'd spend the rest of your life in prison."

Knowing Tao Yaoyang's background, Zhuo Libin broke out in a cold sweat immediately, hurriedly reassuring: "Mr. Tao, rest assured, I will absolutely keep this confidential. I am also very thankful for the opportunity you're providing to make a fortune."

Tao Yaoyang's lips curled into a slight sneer: "Certainly, but if you profit, you'll need to pay me five million consulting fees, is that alright?"

Tao Yaoyang's lips twitched, but he quickly nodded: "No problem, of course no problem."

"Very well. Let me tell you, this man, known as the Stock God, is called Chen Feng. I believe as a manager, you must have noticed him. He opened an account with your department, and in his recent trades, he hasn't lost, the stocks he bought have surged, typically doubling or tripling in a month or so."

So it was him!

To this, Zhuo Libin was neither surprised nor unexpected. From the moment Tao Yaoyang spoke, he knew Chen Feng, the "Stock God," had been exposed.

Thus, Zhuo Libin did not deny it, nodded solemnly: "Yes. I know him. His recent trades have been quite unusual, we've noticed. I suspect there might be... some irregularities involved. Personally, I'd rather not have Mr. Tao get involved."

Tao Yaoyang sneered: "Given you know his abilities, do you mean you just watched and didn't buy along?"

Zhuo Libin found himself speechless, realizing someone like Tao Yaoyang couldn't be deceived easily.

"Mr. Tao, I think it's better to be cautious with this matter. Although he's doubled his profit in previous times, who knows what will happen now or in the future?"

"I don't care about the future; I only want the present. You check his trading information now, then help me open an account here, I want to follow him in buying. As for other matters, you leave them aside."

"Alright."

With some reluctance, Zhuo Libin followed Tao Yaoyang's orders, personally assisting him in opening a big account at his department.

Tao Yaoyang acted decisively, transferring fifty million in, then buying the same five stocks Chen Feng selected, spending the full fifty million immediately.

His boldness left Zhuo Libin silently astonished, feeling even more apprehensive.

Tao Yaoyang, wealthy and well-connected, undoubtedly was a ruthless figure that Zhuo Libin dared not offend.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng finally remembered the five stocks he bought before departing for Europe and logged into his trading software via a phone to check the current rise of those stocks.

The gains were considerable, with the highest stock having tripled and the lowest nearly doubled, he had already netted nearly one hundred million.

This was indeed easier than robbing money. Chen Feng felt somewhat panicky inside because he felt like he was committing theft at the stock market, which was undoubtedly illegal.

It took merely over a month, and the climb was quite swift.

Chen Feng pondered for a while, deciding to sell the stock that had quintupled first, planning to gradually offload the rest over the next few days.

This was to avoid drawing attention; otherwise, per his habits, he would have disposed of them all in one go.

But he didn't realize that others, including Tao Yaoyang, had long set their sights on him.

This fellow had treated him to a meal just the day before, seemingly trying to ingratiate himself, yet who knew just a day later, he'd begin concocting schemes behind Chen Feng's back, risking it all in hopes of reaping the rewards.

Yet, he didn't even imagine that soon after mimicking Chen Feng's five stock purchases, Chen Feng started selling the highest-performing stock shortly thereafter, with plans to sell off others swiftly as well.

Satisfied, Tao Yaoyang left Shenghua Securities, convinced he'd profit surely, leaving Zhuo Libin a bit weary and exhausted. After deliberating the pros and cons, Zhuo Libin, gritting his teeth, decided to swiftly manage his five accounts as well, pooling together twenty-five million, most of which wasn't his own, borrowed from friends or their relatives and acquaintances.

He knew his actions were somewhat risky, but following someone like Tao Yaoyang indicated the deal was trustworthy, not to mention Chen Feng's "abilities" had been proven earlier, this time there was no reason to miss out.

As for Chen Feng previously being investigated by the police, now with the appearance of someone like Tao Yaoyang, it suggested there was no problem, at least currently.

Additionally, without taking such steps, he couldn't reasonably justify the earlier promised five million consulting fee to Tao Yaoyang.

Thus, he had no choice but to follow.

To be secure, he bought a stock for each of the five accounts but unevenly distributed the funds, spending fifteen million on what he personally considered the two best stocks, and ten million on the remaining three.

Once his side had just completed the operation and checked Chen Feng's account trading information on the backend, his eyes widened in disbelief. He discovered that while he was buying, Chen Feng had just sold off one of the highest-performing stocks.

Zhuo Libin's mentality nearly cracked, as he had just spent almost ten million buying the very stock.

He refreshed the page, watching helplessly as the stock's price dropped by two cents all at once—the dip was so bizarre, as though multiple big investors had agreed to sell together, leaving him feeling conned.

According to regulations, having bought today, he couldn't sell until tomorrow. And now, it was only the morning. With such a trend, the stock would likely continue to fall, possibly even hit its daily limit.

Zhuo Libin's forehead was sweating profusely.

He quickly grabbed his phone, looked up Tao Yaoyang's number, and dialed it.
