Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 404 Facing the Taunts of Cao Yunji

The following morning, in a suite at the Hilton Hotel.

The morning light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Ye Fan dressed neatly and prepared to leave.

He walked over to Chen Chulin and kissed her on the smooth forehead: "Linlin, I'll have Lao Li take you back to school. I'll walk to the company."

"Okay, sure!" Chen Chulin said in a soft voice, "Don't work too hard, remember to eat and rest on time."

She gave sweet instructions, like a considerate little wife.

Ye Fan smiled and pinched her cheek: "Yeah, don't worry."

"But you," he said in a teasing voice, glancing meaningfully at Miao Zi, who was putting on her makeup in front of the mirror and looking radiant, "you should go back and work on your 'endurance.' You're nowhere near as good as Miao Zi."

Chen Chulin's face flushed bright red instantly, like a ripe apple.

She gave Ye Fan a reproachful glare, quickly tidied her hair, and said to Miao Zi, "Sister Miao Zi, I'm leaving now! Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye, Linlin, take care on your journey." Miao Zi turned around, gave a gentle and polite smile, and waved goodbye.

Old Li was already waiting downstairs, and drove Chen Chulin to Jinling Academy of Arts.

Ye Fan looked at Miao Zi, who had already tidied up and regained her capable demeanor as an elite secretary: "We should go too."

"Mm." Miao Zi picked up her briefcase and naturally followed beside Ye Fan.

The two walked out of the hotel side by side.

The air in Nanjing was cool and fresh in the early morning, and the traffic on the streets gradually increased.

The Hilton was just a few minutes' walk from the Red Bean Building, allowing Ye Fan to completely detach himself from the idyllic atmosphere of the previous night and switch his focus back to today's capital battlefield.

......

Hongdou Building, fourth floor, Hongdou Capital.

It was just past nine o'clock, and the entire office area was already in a high-speed "honeycomb" state!

The sounds of keyboard typing, telephone ringing, and rapid conversation rose and fell.

The recent flurry of investment projects has everyone on edge, the air thick with the scent of caffeine and tension.

Ye Fan and Miao Zi arrived almost at the last minute.

He walked straight through the bustling public office area, ignoring all the stares that came his way, like a flagship cutting through the waves, heading straight for the trading room separated by reinforced glass at the very back.

This scene of "the boss arriving at work on time" might lead an uninformed person to mistakenly believe that Shen Jun and Yang Bin are the real bosses.

Shen Jun and Yang Bin were indeed already in place. The dark circles under their eyes showed that their "good rest" last night had had limited effect, but their eyes were unusually sharp.

On the screens in front of them, various financial news, hot posts from stock forums, Level-2 data streams, and dynamic information from Shenmu Coal's related parties had already been categorized and organized.

Clearly, the two had begun their pre-battle intelligence gathering several hours in advance.

"Boss, Mr. Miao." The two men stood up immediately when they saw Ye Fan enter.

Ye Fan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the screen full of information: "What's the situation?"

"After yesterday's widespread online discussion, Shenmu Coal is now the focus of the entire A-share market!"

Shen Jun spoke rapidly, his voice brimming with excitement: "Countless eyes are watching. Those without positions are looking for an opportunity to get on board, while retail investors and small institutions with positions are now in a state of panic! As expected, as soon as the market opened today, the other side dumped shares without any restraint!"

On the screen, the intraday chart of Shenmu Coal confirmed his words—the stock price plummeted immediately after the opening, with a surge of sell orders. The attempts by retail investors and small institutions to buy were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were instantly crushed!

The stock price plummeted, and it looked like it was about to break through the key psychological level and important technical support level!

Once panic selling is fully triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Just then, a cold glint flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, like a tiger that had been lying in wait finally baring its fangs: "Let's begin!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unwavering resolve: "It's time to draw our swords!"

"Yes, boss!" Shen Jun and Yang Bin responded in unison, their nerves instantly on high alert!

Almost at the same second that Ye Fan finished speaking—

Yang Bin's fingers flashed across the trading keyboard, typing out the preset commands!

Inside the trading room, everyone's eyes were glued to the main screen!

next second!

In the trading rooms of all institutions focusing on Shenmu coal, on the market data software closely watched by countless retail investors, and in the Level-2 deep data streams of major securities firms—

A massive, breathtaking buy order, like a steel Great Wall falling from the sky, crashed down at the limit-down price!

Four hundred thousand hands!

This number stands out so abruptly, so arrogantly, and so confidently at the low trading volume and limit-down price!

moment!

The stock price line, which was originally cascading down like a waterfall, seemed to be suddenly held up by an invisible giant hand!

"Snap!"

On the intraday chart, the curve representing the stock price was abruptly frozen in place just as it was about to hit the abyss!

Sideways movement!

Absolutely static sideways movement!

The sell orders that were pouring in just a second ago seemed to be frozen instantly!

At this moment, the entire market fell into an eerie, suffocating silence.

The main force behind the sell-off... seemed to be completely stunned by this earth-shattering move! For a moment, there was no follow-up action!

......

Inside a villa in Jiangning District.

The oppressive silence was shattered by Cao Yunji's hysterical roar: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!"

He slammed his fist on the expensive mahogany table, making the monitor shake. His eyes were fixed on the 400,000-hand order on the screen, which looked like an iron wall, his eyes almost bleeding from their sockets!

"This guy isn't just a lunatic! This is blatant provocation! A slap in the face!" Cao Yunji's voice was distorted with extreme anger. He felt like a clown who had been stripped naked and made a fool of in public!

That unmoved bill seemed to be silently mocking him:

"Is that all the strength you have? You're a spineless coward!"

"Trying to stop this? Dream on! With Grandpa here, you'll never touch this floor!"

"Little brother, go home and have your milk!"

Zhou Chongzheng, sitting in the main seat, had a face so gloomy it could drip water, and the expensive cigar was unconsciously squeezed out of shape.

He suppressed his anger, his voice low and icy: "What's the panic!"

He reprimanded the out-of-control Cao Yunji, his sharp gaze sweeping over the breathtaking payment records on the screen: "This is very likely their last trump card! A desperate gamble! As long as we can absorb all 400,000 transactions, the rest will be smooth sailing, with no obstacles whatsoever!"

"Eat it?!"

Cao Yunji's voice shrilled as if he'd heard a fantasy: "Four hundred thousand hands! That's over three hundred million in real money! Mr. Zhou, what if... what if this isn't all they have, or what if other big players smell the blood and come in to stir things up... how will we deal with it?"

The immense financial pressure caused cold sweat to instantly break out on his forehead.
