Rebirth and making money first

Chapter 61 New Functions of Stocks

Zhang Jing finally had her own house, and the next step was to complete the household registration process. Two months had passed since she completed all the paperwork, and she had just received her new ID card. This meant she was now officially a member of the city, with her own household registration.

Of course, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang had long since returned to Jiangsu to live their lives. However, Uncle Zhang's son was furious about this incident. He felt his father had made a decision, especially one of such magnitude, without consulting him. Furious with Zhang Jing, he even went to her workplace to question her about the magic she had given his father to make him so obedient.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Jing simply didn't want to pay any attention to this man. She knew he had a bad temper and was difficult to communicate with. So, she told him directly that if he needed to discuss anything, he could go to Uncle Zhang and his wife. Hearing this, Uncle Zhang's son laughed angrily and then loudly expressed his hope to have a good talk with Zhang Jing.

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of this person, Zhang Jing simply found an empty classroom and told him to speak directly and not waste time. After all, she had other important things to deal with.

"I won't ask what your relationship is with my father. I don't care how much money he lost when he followed you to buy stocks. As long as he is happy." Zhang Yongle's words made Zhang Jing furious. "Stop it!" Zhang Jing stopped him from continuing.

"Your father and I met at the stock exchange. He saw my young age and was worried I'd get ripped off by the stock market, so he kindly gave me some advice. Through stock analysis, we discovered we shared a common investment philosophy, and he helped me find a job, like an elder. As for how much money your father lost in the stock market, that was entirely his personal decision. All the money he gained or lost was in the stock market, and none of it went into my personal pocket."

Zhang Yongle didn't believe it. He said, "I know how much money my father has better than you do. You don't have to worry about him. If you hadn't tempted him to invest again and again, how could he have become so out of control? Not only did he go to Huizhou to buy a shop, but he also brought me a nosy mother? Now he's even sold the old house without even telling me!" Zhang Jing was speechless at the insinuation and finally asked him, "Brother, how old are you?"

Seeing that Zhang Yongle was about to lose his temper, she immediately took out her phone and said, "Do you want me to call Uncle Zhang and explain everything? Only when the three of us are clear can you avoid feeling uncomfortable and I don't have to worry." Zhang Yongle, of course, couldn't accept this proposal. In the end, he could only say that he wanted to buy back the house he had sold to Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing was naturally reluctant, but she patiently explained to him.

"The house has been transferred to my name, and I've also completed the household registration procedures for this house. Also, since the owner is your father, I don't need your consent to sell it, so I can't meet your request. If you have any souvenirs you need, you can come and take them at any time, but you'll have to wait until I'm resting."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yongle said excitedly: "That's where I have lived since I was a child. It was also my mother's favorite home when she was alive. I really can't bear to part with it. Since you bought it, how much did you spend? I am willing to pay an extra 50,000 to buy it back, and then you can buy other houses. How about it?" Zhang Jing couldn't help laughing after hearing this. As a reborn person, she has a clear plan for the future. Just like Zhang Yongle knew that this place was about to be demolished, how could she give up this opportunity easily?

"I'm done. I've been exhausted these past two months. I haven't even been inside to look at the house a few times. If you're okay, just go back. Uncle Zhang must have his reasons for not telling you." Zhang Yongle said unwillingly, "How much money can a working girl like you have? A 5 yuan increase in the house price in two months is not enough?"

Zhang Jing's expression instantly turned cold, and she responded bluntly, "What's wrong with being a migrant worker? Did I eat your rice? I don't need to tell you how much money I have. Fifty thousand is certainly a lot, but you should keep it in the bank and earn the interest. After all, I make money much more easily than you do!" Hearing this, it was Zhang Yongle's turn to laugh. "Your bragging is quite convincing. No wonder the old man always praises you."

Zhang Jing firmly stated that she had already decided not to sell the house and asked Zhang Yongle to stop nagging her. However, Zhang Yongle was still unwilling to give in. He proposed that if Zhang Jing could prove that she was more capable than him, then he would stop bothering her. Zhang Jing thought about it and replied that she could compare it with stock trading. In fact, she was a little uneasy. She despised herself for bullying Zhang Yongle. "Do you trade stocks? How much money have you made since you opened the account? How much have you invested?" Zhang Yongle said that he had invested 10 yuan and earned more than 7 yuan. He had opened the account for three years.

Zhang Jing gave him a thumbs-up and praised him, "Wow, that's great! How do you plan to prove it?" Zhang Yongle smiled, a glint of confidence in his eyes. He immediately stood up and walked to the podium. He expertly opened the classroom computer and quickly navigated through his stock page. Then, he turned the screen towards Zhang Jing, motioning for her to examine it carefully.

Zhang Jing looked at the data and charts on the screen and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, your stock trading skills are first-class! You should really thank your father, the power of genetics is amazing. However, although your stock trading performance is already quite outstanding, it is still slightly inferior to mine!" She glanced at Zhang Yongle deliberately provocatively.

Hearing this, Zhang Yongle was clearly unconvinced, a look of doubt on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Really? Are your profits higher than mine?" Zhang Jing nodded proudly and said with a smile, "Of course, my profits are much higher than yours!"

Zhang Yongle asked curiously, "How much did you earn?" Zhang Jing replied proudly, "Huh, the more than 6000 yuan I invested in the first time has now grown to hundreds of thousands. Can you compare with me?" After that, she turned and walked towards the podium, ready to show her achievements to Zhang Yongle.

However, when Zhang Jing opened her stock page, she was completely stunned. Her eyes widened, unable to believe the numbers before her. She had invested over 80 yuan, and now only 56 yuan remained! Her face turned pale, and she was filled with shock and confusion. How could this happen? She clearly remembered that her previous returns were quite good!

Zhang Yongle, who was standing by, couldn't help but come forward to watch out of curiosity, and his face flushed red. However, his blush was not due to shame, but excitement.

"Sister, you're amazing! From now on, you're my real sister! The house you bought is yours, so just live there with peace of mind. Remember to come to our house for dinner when you're free, and we need to keep in touch. My dad has always been worried about you, and he even told me you're his goddaughter. I wronged you before, so if you run into any problems in the future, remember to ask me for help. I won't let anyone who dares to bully you go!" Seeing Zhang Yongle's completely different attitude, Zhang Jing decided to quit while she was ahead. She turned off the computer, wondering how he knew the password to it.

After Zhang Yongle finished his call, the Vice President and Director Chen rushed over like a gust of wind and greeted him warmly. Zhang Yongle pointed at Zhang Jing and introduced her affectionately, saying, "This is my sister. She's sometimes naive. Please bear with her." The Vice President and Director Chen quickly agreed and even tried to invite Zhang Yongle to dinner, but were rejected.

After bidding Zhang Yongle farewell, the Vice President instructed Director Chen to ensure Zhang Jing's work was properly arranged, and then hurried away. Director Chen's eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared intently at Zhang Jing, beaming with joy as he said, "Oh, sister, you have such a powerful backer! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhang Jing asked, bewildered, "Who is this person? Is he related to our unit?"

Director Chen was so excited that he danced with joy, as if he had discovered a treasure. He eagerly explained to Zhang Jing, "Sister, you really are a hidden talent! That person just now was a big boss in the Civil Affairs Bureau. His power is unmatched by ordinary people! Thanks to you, we got to know this big shot this time. From now on, we must cling to him tightly!"

Zhang Jing suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder their attitude towards her had changed drastically. However, she was still a little puzzled and continued to ask, "Then why is he here?"

Director Chen quickly replied, "Why ask? Of course he's here to inspect our work! As you know, our unit is facing funding issues right now. Without his support, it would be difficult for us to obtain sufficient funds. Therefore, we must maintain a good relationship with him to ensure the normal operation of our unit."

Zhang Jing nodded in understanding. Director Chen, seeing this, immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "In that case, you should take a good rest for a while. I'll help you adjust your work position as soon as possible and then notify you to return to work. How's that?"

Zhang Jing had no objection to this, but she was still full of doubts. She couldn't help but ask again, "Then how did he know the computer's power-on password?"

Director Chen laughed out loud after hearing this. He patted Zhang Jing on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think too much. Maybe he is a genius and guessed the password with just one try. Anyway, as long as he can solve the problem, it doesn't matter what method he uses!" After that, Director Chen turned around and wanted to leave the office, leaving Zhang Jing alone there in deep thought.

But after thinking about it, Director Chen turned around and said indifferently, "All the computers are equipped by the superiors. Why don't you think he knows the password?" Without having time to pay attention to Zhang Jing, Director Chen returned to his work.

Only Zhang Jing felt a little uneasy when she thought about her account's shrinking value. For the first time, she'd lost her confidence and wanted to figure out the reason before making a decision. Her stocks had completely changed Zhang Yongle's attitude towards her. She hadn't expected this feature to work!
