My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 437 - 438 Don’t be jealous, you are the most precious treasure to me

Chapter 437: Chapter 438 Don’t be jealous, you are the most precious treasure to me

Even in Hong Kong where finance is so developed, people like Chen Yan, who use high leverage to make massive trades and crazily purchase over ten billion in futures within a few days, are still rare to see.

Even if there are some, they are all big clients of various financial institutions. Everyone understands this very well.

But for someone like Chen Yan, who isn’t very well-known and has had only a few encounters with the clients, to suddenly act so wildly, it made people take notice.

So, after discovering Chen Yan’s moves, everyone also began to investigate his identity and background.

When they did, they found out that Chen Yan was actually a very famous young entrepreneur from the Mainland in the entertainment industry.

He had come to Hong Kong over half a year ago, then started making waves with his first pot of gold.

His first victory used several hundred million in funds to gain a profit of around ten billion within half a month.

Such an identity and record immediately caught the attention of various financial institutions.

Therefore, regarding Chen Yan’s big move this time, several financial institutions also held meetings to study him.

Da Feng Financial.

"What do you all think about Chen Yan’s massive purchase of Gold this time?"

Someone put forward their thoughts first, "In the past few years, with the international situation stable and the economy developed, gold, as a safe-haven metal, has been steadily declining. I can’t think of any reason it would rise."

With these words, many nodded in agreement.

The current environment is here, and it’s not something that can be easily changed.

However, there were also objections to this, "Could it be that he has received some kind of insider information?"

As soon as his words came out, the people present went quiet for a moment.

However, the leader spoke up immediately, "That shouldn’t be the case."

The others looked at him.

The leader said, "First of all, let’s not say that there are no unmentionable names in his background."

"Suppose he really had support and received insider information."

"Do you all think that for such an important event, he’d use only a few billion and leverage up to tens of billions just to play?"

Hearing the leader’s words, everyone couldn’t help but nod their heads.

Indeed, if there really was this level of insider information, then definitely more funds would be used.

Isn’t that just like turning on the gas stove, just to light a cigarette, making a big deal out of a small issue?

However, the leader didn’t close off the topic completely, he said, "Let’s do this. We can’t entirely exclude this possibility. So, let’s observe for a few days, see if there’s any other big capital following suit."

"If there is, then perhaps there’s really big trouble about to happen."

"If not, then it shows that this person just wants to make a risky bet."

The discussions at Da Feng Financial were almost identical to those at other firms.

The conclusions reached by all the financial institutions were similar.

They all believed that gold wouldn’t likely rise in the short term.

Chen Yan’s big gamble meant either he had won big last time and wanted to continue playing.

That’s what people mean when they say: got carried away by the gambling.

Otherwise, it was because he had insider information or had made a trend analysis and then bought gold.

If it’s the former, there’s not much to say; everyone can just watch the show.

If it’s the latter, then probably soon some small news will come out, and perhaps some other insiders or organizations will also start buying gold.

At that point, other firms could also follow suit and make a profit.

This is the way for financial institutions to make money.

Because this matter was so important, for a time, the attention of Hong Kong’s financial circle was focused on Chen Yan.

Just like that, a week passed.

Nothing happened.

Gold still maintained its lackluster state, even declining a bit.

No other institutions or organizations bought gold, everything seemed like nothing had occurred.

But, this actually signified Chen Yan’s "failure."

Because Chen Yan had borrowed hefty leverage, he had to bear not insignificant costs every day.

Thus, the financial institutions basically judged that Chen Yan had a moment of madness, mistakenly thinking his previous record was his ability, so he took a wild bet.

But what good end could there be to gambling? Doesn’t it all inevitably lead to bankruptcy in the end?

So for a time, Chen Yan’s topic became another conversation piece for the financial circle after tea and dinner.

"Did you hear? Someone from the Mainland came over and speculated on gold futures. More than ten times leverage, all long on gold."

"Are you talking about Chen Yan?"

"Yeah. Yeah."

"Ha ha. I know about him. Lately, he’s been all over the chat groups."

"I have no idea what got into him to suddenly buy so much gold."

"Probably lost his mind. He thinks the futures is a casino, so he came to make a big bet."

"Probably."

Even those who were relatively neutral, when mentioning Chen Yan, would simply shake their heads slightly, feeling that Chen Yan’s approach was a bit too reckless.

With such high leverage, the risk-bearing capacity was already low.

A single significant fluctuation could lead to a huge loss and being wiped out.

Now, after a week without any increase, net losses from fees, interest...

And at this time, far away on Qin Island, Chen Yan’s mind was not focused on this matter.

Because every step he took was according to the system’s instructions.

And this time, the withdrawal was indeed the strangest Chen Yan had ever seen.

Because this time the withdrawal period spanned over 20 days.

That is to say, Chen Yan would hold this futures for over half a month from purchase to sale.

It could be said to be the longest withdrawal time he had ever experienced.

Chen Yan suspected that it was to avoid regulation and ensure fund safety.

Fortunately, on the final settlement plan, the fees and interest were all calculated into it, so Chen Yan wouldn’t incur high costs for long-term high leverage.

But being not bothered by the withdrawal didn’t mean Chen Yan wouldn’t be bothered by other things.

For example... Yu Qiao Qiao.

......

During this time, Yu Qiao Qiao wasn’t happy.

The main reasons were two.

One, Chen Yan was away on a business trip, so she couldn’t see him whenever she wanted.

The other... Chen Yan was preparing to design Easter eggs and skins for Lu Man in the new game.

Yu Qiao Qiao felt that she wasn’t a girl who got jealous easily.

She knew she was not very smart, prone to overthinking. And she knew that overthinking is one’s own business, but speaking it out turns it into a matter for two.

So even though she often felt that Chen Yan was too close with several of her good friends and a few female colleagues at his company, she never said anything.

Because she felt... she needed to trust Chen Yan enough!

And Chen Yan hadn’t let down her trust, although he often messed about and laughed with other girls, he also gave her a surprise.

The "Queen Qiao Qiao" hidden Easter egg.

Although Chen Yan’s excuse was that it was to commend Yu Qiao Qiao for providing inspiration for the new game.

But, Yu Qiao Qiao felt that this was Chen Yan’s favoritism towards her.

So she actually bought the company’s new game on Steam, then diligently completed all the levels to get this hidden skin.

Every time she saw this little character that somewhat resembled her jumping and cheering, Yu Qiao Qiao felt extremely satisfied.

She didn’t tell anyone about this feeling.

But perhaps because of Fat Phoenix’s particularly sensitive heart, he guessed the importance this skin held for her.

So, from time to time, he used this to tease Yu Qiao Qiao.

Each time, making Yu Qiao Qiao blush and feel almost mortified.

Originally, everything would have developed so sweetly.

Yu Qiao Qiao would have continued to be happy with this bit of joy.

But now...

The favoritism was broken.

Yu Qiao Qiao even forgot how lost she felt the moment she received the "tipoff" from Fat Phoenix.

At that moment, she truly wanted to cry.

It was Fat Phoenix who heard that something was wrong and advised her that if she didn’t like it, she could talk to Chen Yan face-to-face and not keep it bottled up inside.

This led to Yu Qiao Qiao’s decision to seek out Chen Yan.

After returning from his business trip, Chen Yan knew that Yu Qiao Qiao had come looking for him, but he thought it was because she didn’t know he had been away, so he didn’t pay much attention.

Not until the third day when Yu Qiao Qiao knocked on the door to Chen Yan’s office did he begin to feel that something was amiss.

Yu Qiao Qiao was dressed as plainly as ever today.

A slightly faded sweater with thick leggings underneath was her entire outfit.

And whether it was due to not resting well or not, Yu Qiao Qiao’s complexion also seemed a bit off, looking rather haggard.

So, seeing Yu Qiao Qiao like this, Chen Yan was startled and hurried over from behind his desk to stand in front of her, grabbing her shoulders with both hands, looking into her eyes, and asking softly, "Qiao Qiao, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you feel well?"

Seeing Chen Yan so concerned for her, Yu Qiao Qiao felt a bit better.

She shook her head with a touch of grievance and then, lowering her head, said softly, "No, it’s nothing."

Having known Yu Qiao Qiao for more than two years, Chen Yan was well-acquainted with her nature. Seeing her like this, he knew something was definitely wrong.

So, Chen Yan pulled her down onto the sofa, poured her a cup of hot water, and inquired, "Really? If it’s nothing, you wouldn’t look so worn out, would you?"

While talking, Chen Yan also activated his "Headphones."

Then... he suddenly understood what was going on.

And knowing the reason, Chen Yan felt a bit of a headache.

After all, on one hand was Boss Qiao Qiao, and on the other was little fairy Lu Man.

Both sides mattered.

This... what should he do?

Therefore, Chen Yan resorted to the usual tactics of a jerk: side with whoever was in front of him.

He thought, at least solve Yu Qiao Qiao’s issue first, then go talk to Lu Man later.

And to resolve Yu Qiao Qiao’s matter, Chen Yan thought two steps were necessary.

First, explain why he did it.

Second, admit the mistake and make sure Yu Qiao Qiao wasn’t hurt.

Thinking this, Chen Yan had an idea and made a decision.

After finding a solution, Chen Yan began to ask Yu Qiao Qiao softly about the reason.

Perhaps because of some inherent inferiority complex, even though she was "justified," Yu Qiao Qiao still wasn’t "forcefully indignant."

Under Chen Yan’s persistent questioning, she finally, like a little wife who had been wronged, revealed her thoughts.

"The Inner Ear Headphones" are not omnipotent.

Although Chen Yan had just learned the whole story, the details had not been so thorough.

It was only through Yu Qiao Qiao’s explanations that Chen Yan began to understand what was weighing on her mind.

And after listening, Chen Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache.

He felt that he had indeed wronged this girl.

At first, he approached her to make money; later, when they were together, he pursued her favor non-stop for happiness points.

And when she had completely fallen in love with him, he shifted his attention to Lu Man because of her.

Looking back now, he really wasn’t something good.

He hadn’t even left Queen Qiao Qiao with any exclusive memories.

Making her rely on that skin as a comfort in her heart.

Thinking this way, Chen Yan tenderly embraced Yu Qiao Qiao and whispered, "Qiao Qiao, I haven’t been good."

"I didn’t think that much."

Yu Qiao Qiao, held in Chen Yan’s arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and said weakly, "No, it’s not your fault."

Chen Yan chuckled as he stroked her back and then said, "You don’t need to excuse me."

"As a boyfriend, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities, and I should be punished."

Saying this, Chen Yan said, "Then, when I’m less busy these few days, how about I take you shopping and to the movies?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao nodded shyly and happily.

Any girlfriend would hope her boyfriend could accompany her shopping and to the movies.

But all of this had been out of reach for Yu Qiao Qiao before.

After saying this, Chen Yan added, "Also, I haven’t actually given you any memorable gifts. Wait for me to pick something out, even handmake something special for you, all right?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao became even happier.

She clung to Chen Yan tightly, as if afraid that such Chen Yan would disappear in the next moment.

Feeling Yu Qiao Qiao’s emotions, Chen Yan grew even more remorseful.

This made him even more determined to first soothe Yu Qiao Qiao’s heart.

He said, "Regarding the... the Lu Man skin matter."

As Chen Yan brought up this serious matter, Yu Qiao Qiao unintentionally tightened her grip.

Chen Yan said, "I still need to explain it to you."

Then Chen Yan straightened Yu Qiao Qiao’s body, so they faced each other.

He then explained, "I don’t know if you can understand this, but Lu Man’s skin and your skin are two different things."

"Yours is a hidden reward for beating the game."

"It’s an easter egg, a reward that can only be achieved by those ’who put in the effort.’"

Hearing Chen Yan speak so sweetly about her skin, Yu Qiao Qiao’s heart filled with sweetness.

Chen Yan continued, "As for Lu Man’s skin."

"I considered it from a business perspective."

"Among our several companies, Lu Man brings in the most traffic and has the highest value."

"But the strongest monetization power lies in the game."

"So, I want to draw Lu Man’s fans to the game and have them spend money. This is called monetization."

Chen Yan paused, then went on to say, "And you know the quality of our game."

"This is our company’s first official online game."

"I believe it will be a success. And once it succeeds, the user base will also be quite large."

"As I already said, the most valuable asset in our companies is actually Lu Man."

"Using her image for the skin, as long as it’s beautifully crafted, regardless of whether players buy it or not, just getting their attention is already indirect advertising for Lu Man."

"This way, in the future, when they see a movie or TV series starring Lu Man, these gamers will likely be more interested and give it more attention."

"It’s like brand promotion and traffic attraction."

Having said this, Chen Yan looked at Yu Qiao Qiao seriously and said, "So, do you understand?"

Seeing how serious Chen Yan was asking, Yu Qiao Qiao was close to tears.

With a voice full of grievance, she said, "I, I was able to follow along at the beginning, but later on, I got more and more confused."

"I just feel it’s amazing."

"Am I causing you trouble?"

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s endearing look, Chen Yan couldn’t help but smile. He said, "How could you be trouble? You’re always my little wings, making me fly faster, not a burden."

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Yu Qiao Qiao finally felt reassured.

She said, "Then, since you’re looking at it from a business standpoint, go ahead and make the skin for Sister Man Man."

"I won’t be jealous."

Saying this, she looked at Chen Yan earnestly.

She seemed truly unjealous.

However, Chen Yan just smiled and shook his head.

He said, "Qiao Qiao. I’ve truly been thoughtless in this matter."

"You are my girlfriend. There should only be one easter egg in my game for you. How could there be someone else?"

"So, whether it makes money or not, whether it’s business or not, I’m not doing it."

"Because..."

Chen Yan gazed deeply into Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes, "You are my most precious treasure."

Listening to Chen Yan’s admission of fault and his affectionate declaration, Yu Qiao Qiao felt her heart warm up for a moment.

Her eyes immediately reddened, which triggered the release of all the frustration she had been suppressing in the past few days, combined with the overwhelming emotion. And so, her tears started "pattering" down.

While crying, she burrowed into Chen Yan’s embrace.

Then bravely, she tilted her head up and kissed Chen Yan’s mouth.

Suddenly kissed by Boss Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan was startled for a moment.

He almost thought he was holding someone else...

But quickly, he smiled and got lost in the kiss with Boss Qiao Qiao.

Perhaps it was because of what Chen Yan had done, Yu Qiao Qiao was extremely moved.

This time, Yu Qiao Qiao was very proactive and cooperative.

Even when Chen Yan wanted to play out an office seduction later, she agreed to it, shyly asking to close the door first.

However, as she felt Chen Yan’s movements, the whole time she bit her little fist to prevent herself from making strange noises that others outside might hear.

Chen Yan discovered for the first time that once Boss Qiao Qiao let go, she was so adorable...

Over an hour later, the two were cuddled up on the sofa, quietly chatting.

Perhaps because the weight on her heart was lifted, Yu Qiao Qiao reverted to her obedient demeanor, nestling in Chen Yan’s arms like a tiny quail.

Chen Yan, on the other hand, was beaming with satisfaction.

At that moment, he felt that dealing with Lu Man’s anger seemed like nothing at all...

But before he could deal with Lu Man, another woman came looking for him.

Just as he thought this, Chen Yan’s phone chimed with a "ding dong."

Chen Yan picked it up and saw it was a QQ message from "Yang Rou," the nickname of the married woman author.

Chen Yan opened QQ, and saw "Yang Rou" asking,

"Bad Mister. There hasn’t been any movement in gold futures. Is this normal?"

Bad Mister was the nickname "Yang Rou" had given Chen Yan.

Because Chen Yan’s QQ alias was "Baddest Woman in the World," she couldn’t call Chen Yan "Bad Woman," so she settled on "Bad Mister" instead.

And hearing the QQ notification, Yu Qiao Qiao also looked up adorably.

Then she inquired softly, "Bad Mister? Chen Yan... why does she call you Bad Mister?"

Chen Yan opened QQ and saw "Yang Rou" asking,

"Bad Mister. There hasn’t been any movement in gold futures. Is this normal?"

Bad Mister was the nickname "Yang Rou" had given Chen Yan.

Then she inquired softly, "Bad Mister? Chen Yan... why does she call you Bad Mister?"
