The sound of keyboard typing echoed in the learning space. The teenager—or rather, the girl—wore a camouflage vest, revealing her fair skin. Under her black sports shorts, her slender legs were crossed on the swivel chair, and she held the silver pendant chain between her teeth, her starry eyes half-closed, staring intently at the computer screen on the desk.
Her gaze shifted to another screen displaying a line chart. Her starry eyes flickered, and as she bit the pendant, she suddenly grinned. She raised her hand to push back so ssy strands of hair, then leaned back in her chair, as if quietly waiting for sothing.
Suddenly, the chart on the screen began to change. The green line, which had been steadily rising, suddenly surged upwards. The girl imdiately sat up straight, extending her arms and pulling herself closer to the screen by gripping the edge of the desk. As her index finger touched the keyboard, the rapid sound of typing resud.
When the green line reached its peak, she promptly pressed the ENTER key. The line chart paused for a mont, and the girl smirked. "007, sell everything."
[Got it!] 007 responded quickly, and their formatted hand movents sped up. In no ti, 007 laughed heartily, [It’s done!]
She stretched lazily, waving one hand in the air. A blue crystal panel appeared in the air, displaying another line chart, which was much steadier than the previous one.
"How much money do we have on hand now?" Bi Xia asked.
[Let calculate.] Saying this, 007 began to tally up, swallowing nervously after a while, [Twenty-three million four hundred and forty-eight thousand...]
[Oh my heavens, so much!]
Faced with 007’s surprise, Bi Xia was also slightly taken aback but soon regained her composure. "It’s simple; this stock’s trend has been unstable. I told you before, either soone is ssing around internally, or soone is manipulating the stock line."
"However, regardless of which, as long as we buy and sell promptly, we will benefit."
"But..." she touched her chin, "I’ve always heard that the stock market is lucrative, but I didn’t realize it could be so profitable."
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, 007 rolled their eyes, [You’re overthinking. The stock market is indeed profitable, but it’s also very risky. If you don’t know anything, you’ll be left with nothing.]
"I understand, so this ti can be considered our opportunity," Bi Xia smiled, leaning back in her chair, leisurely swinging her dangling legs. "For the rest, we just need to be careful, as long as we don’t lose money."
[What do you plan to do next? You can’t always rely on the stock market.]
"Of course not," Bi Xia closed her eyes and spoke slowly, "Next, we should take care of so serious business."
[What serious business?] 007 asked curiously.
Her red lips curled up as she snapped her fingers. The crystal panel filled with line charts transford, showing a location and a plan.
examined the plan carefully and suddenly widened their eyes, [You intend to open a restaurant for Beauty Mother?!]
"Does this count as serious business?" Bi Xia chuckled, opening her eyes. "I’ve been thinking about this for a long ti."
[How co I didn’t know?]
"It was triggered when Bi Wu caused trouble at the shop, and it was Chu Kuang who reminded . Since mother’s culinary skills are so good, why can’t she open a restaurant?"
"I’ve already scouted the initial location. That area will be a bustling center in the future. By the way, I might need a favor from you, buying five storefronts for . I’ve picked the locations, but I’m underage, so I can’t do it myself."
[That’s not a problem, leave it to . However, no one can guarantee...] 007 hesitated, [that the restaurant will be profitable, and there’s no assurance people will like Beauty Mother’s cooking.]
"I know," Bi Xia took a deep breath, "So we need to take it slow. This is a long-term plan. First, I need to expand the current shop so it isn’t just a snack bar, but a restaurant. Once it gains popularity, we’ll expand again and turn it into a restaurant, ultimately a chain of restaurants."
"So let’s buy those storefronts before property prices rise, find a big place for mom."
"Right now, it’s just an idea. Honestly, the main thing is, I want mom to have a solid support system that makes her feel secure, so she has sothing to rely on." She rubbed her temples, smiling bitterly. "Don’t be fooled by mom’s attitude as if everything is fine, she’s actually very insecure and always feels the small shop could disappear at any mont."
She paused, staring at 007 staring at her. Bi Xia tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Don’t look at like that, it’s what mom told at my grave in my previous life."
[Your Majesty...]
"So, yeah, 007, I want to give mom a permanent support, so no one can bully her..."
