"Congratulations, your position profit has exceeded 4.5 million."
General Manager Lin was very shocked when he saw Su Yi's floating profit numbers in the account.
At the same time, he regretted why he hadn't followed by short-selling a few stock index futures at the open to hedge against the stock losses in his account.
"In about a week, with 150,000 capital, you earned enough for an ordinary house in Shanghai. That's really amazing!"
Regardless of whether Su Yi's operations this week were due to luck or skill, he had no choice but to admire him.
Su Yi came back to his senses and replied with a smile,
"I also didn't expect the market's negative news to escalate so much today."
"Sigh..."
General Manager Lin sighed and said,
"The Dragon Boat Festival has forcefully turned into a Dragon Boat Calamity. In a single day, the market evaporated over 7 trillion in market value, with an average loss of over 50,000 per investor in the market.
Many people probably won't be in the mood to celebrate this holiday. The regulatory body also has a problem, insisting on clearing margin financing at such a critical moment."
In about a week, he had continuous losses exceeding 17 million.
Although his confidence in the bull market remained deep down, his emotions inevitably started to become irritable.
"You're right, if it weren't for the regulatory body forcing margin financing to exit, the market would never have turned out like this today."
"My account is so deep in losses I can't bear to look. Celebrate the holiday? Celebrate a ghost's holiday."
"Thousands of stocks hit their daily limit down. The regulatory body's cut was really ruthless."
"I hope some good news comes out during the holiday, otherwise, when the market opens next Tuesday, it might be another sharp fall."
"If it falls again, I'll really be liquidated. I no longer have money to cover margin calls."
"Is this still a technical adjustment? The Shanghai Composite Index fell below 4500 points today. I'm really afraid the market will continue to plunge next Tuesday. My account truly can't hold on!"
"What kind of technical adjustment? Is there such a way to adjust technically?"
"All the media and institutions that called for a bull market last night should die. If it weren't for them... I wouldn't have lost so miserably today."
Along with General Manager Lin's complaints, the rest of the people in the trading room also instantly began to grumble, wishing they could chop down those culprits who caused today's market plunge.
However, complaints were just complaints.
But their confidence in the market's bull run remained unshaken.
Amidst everyone's complaints, Su Yi, as usual, sent a message to Chen An'ya, stating that he would continue to use the account, and then left 'Yinghui Finance' company.
He returned to the vicinity of the residential community where he lived.
Su Yi was not in a hurry to go home, but instead went to a nearby supermarket.
Tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival.
Although he was alone in a foreign place with no one to celebrate with, he still felt there should be some sense of ritual, so he bought some zongzi and pastries at the supermarket before returning to his residence.
Saturday, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
Su Yi got up, cooked some zongzi to eat, then called his parents, and spent the rest of the day resting at home.
Sunday was the day he promised the girl next door he would go to watch her performance.
Early in the morning, just as Su Yi finished changing his clothes, there was a knock on his door.
He opened the door to see the girl standing before him, dressed up, holding a guitar, with a bright smile on her face, her eyes still clean and clear.
The girl's father stood behind her, also smiling at Su Yi.
"Where's your puppy?"
Su Yi asked, not seeing the guide dog that had been inseparable from the girl when they went out.
The girl replied,
"My dad said he'll be with me all day today, so there's no need to bring Yuanbao."
"Yuanbao?"
Su Yi was taken aback.
The girl smiled and said,
"It's the puppy you saw last time."
"Oh."
Su Yi realized, then asked,
"The competition you're participating in, was it recommended by your school?"
Although the girl was blind, her heart was more cheerful than he had imagined.
The girl nodded and said,
"It was recommended by our teacher. The teacher said that if I win an award, I might even be able to get into a music conservatory without an entrance exam in the future to further my studies."
Her words were full of longing for the future.
"Then you can definitely do it."
Su Yi encouraged with a smile.
"Thank you!"
The girl thanked him happily and also asked,
"Brother Xiao Yi, you... went to university, right? What is university like?"
Su Yi said,
"You'll know in the future."
"Did you attend university in Shanghai?"
As the two gradually became more familiar, the girl started talking more and more.
Su Yi replied,
"Yes, I studied at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, it's in the Yangpu District."
"That university seems very famous."
The girl said.
"You graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics?"
Hearing the university Su Yi graduated from, the girl's father, who was focused on driving, showed a surprised expression.
"Did you study finance?"
Su Yi replied,
"Financial Investment."
"Then you must be... very proficient in stock investments, right?"
The girl's father asked.
"I know a little bit,"
Su Yi said.
"Do you also dabble in stocks?"
The girl's father was silent for a while, hesitated, and finally said,
"I often hear colleagues at the company talk about how easy it is to make money trading stocks this year..."
"Dad, did you bring the tickets for the competition?"
The girl suddenly realized she didn't have her ticket and quickly asked.
Seeing his conversation interrupted, the girl's father no longer brought up the previous topic and said,
"Don't worry, I have them. I remember everything you told me."
While chatting, they had already arrived at their destination.
The three found a place to park, then followed the other teams also participating in the competition into the venue.
Next up was the competition process.
The girl's name was ranked later among the competitors.
So, Su Yi and the girl's father waited for almost 2 hours before the girl went on stage to perform.
Fortunately, although the girl went on stage late, she still achieved a decent ranking.
With professional teachers from music conservatories serving as judges, dozens of competitors vied on the same stage, and the girl ultimately secured third place.
During the award ceremony, when the host announced the name of the third-place winner, 'Chu Wan'.
Both the girl and her father in the audience had tears in their eyes.
Perhaps this award was just icing on the cake for those who already had bright futures and privileged family backgrounds, but for the girl, this was her dream, her best interpretation of the world through sound when she couldn't see its beauty with her own eyes.
Su Yi looked at the excited, joyful, and thrilled smile on her face.
He couldn't help but smile and applauded her continuously.
He greatly admired the girl for being able to remain cheerful and optimistic and bravely pursue her dreams despite her innate conditions being clearly inferior to ordinary people.
At the same time, he also deeply appreciated the pureness and clarity in the girl that had not yet been tainted by society—the sharp edges he had long lost while struggling in the social workplace.
