Chapter 19 The Shift in Women's Attitudes
The students were all stunned!
Lin Ran's stock account now has nearly 40 yuan in cash!
What does that even mean?
For these high school students, this was an astronomical figure; they had never seen so much money in their lives!
Even someone like Gong Yu, whose family has several million in assets, as a son, would never have access to his parents' money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made up the 2 yuan loss as just bragging.
Jiang Qianqian was completely stunned. After she came to her senses, her face turned red. Thinking about the taunts she had just made at Lin Ran, it felt like a series of slaps to her face. Weren't they all boomerangs?
Ye Shixuan's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity. She looked Lin Ran up and down a few more times as if she had never met him before.
Isn't this guy just an ordinary handsome young man? He's also quite honest, yet he knows how to trade stocks and has made so much money?
This is worlds apart from Gong Yu, who just boasted about losing 2 yuan. The difference is stark. The contrast is immediately obvious.
Suddenly, Ye Shixuan's gaze towards Lin Ran changed.
In the past, she always looked at Lin Ran as someone in a higher position, thinking that it was only natural for Lin Ran to be her lapdog, and that he was only worthy of being her lapdog.
But now, seeing that Lin Ran's stock account had hundreds of thousands of yuan, this drastic change in her mindset changed her gaze!
It's not that Ye Shixuan is materialistic; it's just that in this materialistic society, money is the foundation for a person's status.
If you have money, even if you don't spend it on women, they will still cling to you. If you don't have money, even if you give a woman all your savings, she will only take the money and then dump you.
The logic is simple: if a beggar gave you all the money he had begged in his life, would you like that beggar?
When a person likes another person, they only like that person for who they are, not for what they are associated with.
If you like someone because of their money, then you'll naturally stop liking them if you lose the money.
Gong Yu was immediately flustered. He was originally the focus of all the students' attention, and Ye Shixuan had already fallen for him!
But now all eyes are on Lin Ran, and even Ye Shixuan's gaze towards Lin Ran has become ambiguous.
He quickly interrupted the discussion: "Lin Ran, I know people are vain, but I didn't expect you to be this vain, using your parents' stock account to show off!"
You can't exactly say this account is yours, can you? How could you possibly have hundreds of thousands of yuan to invest in stocks?
Lin Ran took a sip of beer and hadn't even acknowledged him when Fatty Sun yelled, "What do you know?! Over 6 yuan of that is Ran-ge's! No, it's over 8 now! And Ran-ge picked this stock himself!"
Fatty Sun had originally intended to say that Aunt Xu had been losing money hand over fist, and it was only Lin Ran who had managed to turn the account around. However, after thinking about it, he realized that she was, after all, Brother Ran's mother.
The students' attitudes did not change because the account did not belong to Lin Ran.
On the contrary, it's more normal for hundreds of thousands to come from parents; otherwise, it would be unrealistic.
Lin Ran's ability to manage over 8 yuan on his own is enough to make people envious and admirable.
Anyway, it's enough to crush Gong Yu. You can brag about losing 2, but what about someone who makes 8?
Gong Yu smoothed his shiny hair, took a puff of his cigarette, and, feigning maturity, shook his head: "There's a saying in the market: unrealized losses aren't real losses, and unrealized profits aren't real profits."
You're just lucky. I advise you not to get too excited. It's best to know when to stop. As someone who's been there, I'm giving you this advice, understand?
"I understand, I understand. I will keep what you said in mind."
Lin Ran couldn't feel any dislike for Gong Yu at all.
The thought of him having to go to the same school as Ye Shixuan for the rest of his life filled Lin Ran with sympathy, as if she saw the shadow of someone else.
Who was that person again?
Ok.
Anyway, it's not me.
The dinner continued. Among the students of this age, only a small portion were very worldly-wise and knew how to handle situations. Seeing that Lin Ran was capable and wealthy, they became more enthusiastic.
The vast majority of students remained innocent, thinking that Lin Ran was very capable and admiring him, but they didn't have any other thoughts.
But it's obvious that Jiang Qianqian has some ulterior motives.
She quietly peeled a shrimp, picked it up with chopsticks, and put it into Lin Ran's bowl.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Ran was a little confused.
"Don't get me wrong! You've treated me to milk tea so many times before, so peeling a shrimp for you is just to make up for it."
Jiang Qianqian said arrogantly, but secretly gave him a flirtatious look, which was practically sending him a secret flirtatious glance.
Lin Ran asked the question casually, but having lived two lives, he naturally understood what the other person meant.
She put the shrimp meat directly into Fatty Sun's bowl: "Fatty, these are shrimp that Miss Jiang peeled herself. Please have some."
"Oh, then I won't stand on ceremony?"
Fatty Sun was so excited he was numb! His suppressed desire to show off, which had been building all day, was finally perfectly released, and he chugdreds of beer after beer.
He didn't hesitate to eat the shrimp that Jiang Qianqian peeled.
"Lin Ran, what's wrong with you?!"
Jiang Qianqian pouted, pretending to be angry, but she still conveyed affection through her eyes.
Ye Shixuan, who was standing next to her, snorted inwardly.
She had long suspected that this fake best friend was a bit off. Every time, she would ask for gifts under her name, so she wouldn't have to bear the bad reputation and could also eat snacks and drink milk tea.
Now that they see Lin Ran demonstrating his strength, are they trying to backstab him?
Ye Shixuan took out her phone and sent a QQ message to Lin Ran.
"Investing in the market is very risky, so you need to be careful. Too many people only care about how much money you've made, but I still want you to avoid working so hard and exhausting yourself."
When Lin Ran heard the QQ notification, he thought it was Su Peixue contacting him.
I quickly clicked to see, only to find it was Ye Shixuan. Damn it, what bad luck! I thought it was Su Peixue.
After glancing at the tea talk again, I almost threw up my dinner.
However, Lin Ran still smiled politely at Ye Shixuan. Anyway, there would be no chance to meet again in the future, so it didn't matter. Let her be a green tea bitch.
Seeing Lin Ran smile at her, Ye Shixuan suddenly felt confident again.
After the meal, Lin Ran helped the drunken Fatty Sun into a taxi and took him home. Originally, she planned to go straight home, but for some inexplicable reason, she ended up at the small supermarket that was still lit up.
The girl, resting her chin on her hand, sat in a daze behind the counter. The moment she saw Lin Ran, her pure face blossomed like a hundred flowers.
