After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Ye Feng refocused his attention on the foreign exchange market.

The anticipated changes are taking place, with the USD/JPY exchange rate entering a consolidation phase around 122.600. Bulls are showing signs of activity, while bears appear somewhat hesitant.

It was 2 p.m.

Ye Feng's eyes sharpened; the time had come!

He decisively pressed the sell button, dumping all his holdings and realizing his profit.

That's all for today's foreign exchange.

Ye Feng leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

He picked up the phone and instructed his secretary, "Help me arrange to have dinner with Su Dongming from the Su Group tonight."

When Su Dongming received the call from Ye Feng's secretary, he was visibly taken aback.

"Ye Feng? He asked me to dinner?"

"Interesting, what is he trying to do?"

After a moment's thought, Su Dongming accepted the invitation.

Six o'clock, Mingde Restaurant.

Ye Feng sat by the window, with five dishes and a soup laid out in front of him, four of which were the restaurant's signature dishes.

He picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and his thoughts remained unreadable.

Shortly after, Su Dongming pushed open the door and entered.

He walked straight to Ye Feng and sat down opposite him, getting straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, you're in such a hurry to meet me, so please just say what's on your mind."

Ye Feng put down his teacup, picked up the wine bottle, and poured Su Dongming a glass of baijiu.

"President Su, congratulations! Your Su family now holds a considerable amount of Shengshi Entertainment stock."

Su Dongming picked up his wine glass, but didn't drink it.

He stared intently at Ye Feng, asking warily, "What does Mr. Ye mean by this?"

"I'm just curious, has President Su ever considered completely acquiring Shengshi Entertainment?" Ye Feng asked with a faint smile, as if it were just a casual question.

Su Dongming sneered, "Acquire Shengshi Entertainment? Mr. Ye, you're joking. Shengshi Entertainment may have a big name, but it's just an empty shell. I have no interest in it."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression ambiguous.

"Of course. I've already sold most of Shengshi Entertainment's shares. Didn't you see the large sell orders today, Mr. Ye?"

He countered with a question, trying to probe Ye Feng's true intentions.

Ye Feng smiled and nodded: "I saw it, I saw it."

He knew in his heart that Su Dongming was lying; it was he, not the Su family, who placed the large sell order today.

But he didn't expose him; he just watched Su Dongming perform quietly.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

Ye Feng picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes.

"Yes, the signature dishes of Mingde Restaurant are indeed well-deserved."

Looking at his leisurely and carefree demeanor, Su Dongming felt completely unable to understand him.

What exactly did he want to invite him over for?

He had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and eat half-heartedly, his mind completely elsewhere.

Ye Feng didn't mention Shengshi Entertainment again, focusing instead on his meal and occasionally chatting with Su Dongming about trivial matters.

Throughout the meal, Su Dongming felt extremely uncomfortable.

After the meal, Ye Feng still did not reveal any important information.

Su Dongming got up and hurriedly returned to the Su Group.

Ye Group, President's Office.

Ten past eight.

Ye Feng lightly clicked the mouse, his gaze fixed on the trembling candlestick chart, and muttered to himself.

"40,000 long positions..."

Trading volume surged, but prices remained almost unchanged.

Abnormal.

Something fishy.

Ye Feng picked up the phone and pressed the intercom button, "Investigate the source of these 40,000 long positions."

"Yes, Mr. Ye," came Liu Zhengli's respectful voice from the other end of the phone.

Less than two minutes later, Liu Zhengli called back: "Mr. Ye, we found out. These 40,000 long positions came from an offshore account. The specific source is unknown, but the operation was very professional, like institutional activity."

Several names flashed through Ye Feng's mind, but finally settled on a blurry figure.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Trying to fish in troubled waters? Let's see whose bait is bigger."

He quickly issued the order: "Buy 40,000 short contracts, execute immediately."

Seeing the notification on the screen that the empty order had been executed, Ye Feng got up and walked to the coffee machine, skillfully grinding coffee beans.

The rich aroma of coffee filled the office.

After brewing the coffee, Ye Feng picked up his phone and dialed Liu Qingyi's number.

"Qingyi, are you done with your work? Come to my office, I've made some coffee."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Qingyi seemed to hesitate slightly before replying, "Okay, I'll come over as soon as I finish what I have to do."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Liu Qingyi put down the phone and quickly finished processing the last document.

Shengshi Entertainment's financial report has just been released, and its performance far exceeded expectations, drawing widespread praise from the market.

She glanced at the time; it was already past nine. She grabbed her bag and hurriedly left the office, driving to the Ye Group.

At the same time, a news story quickly spread across major financial media outlets.

Shengshi Entertainment's financial report showed positive growth, and its stock price soared.

Su Group.

During the Asian trading session of the USD/JPY exchange rate, Su Hao stared intently at the constantly changing numbers on the screen, his brow furrowed.

The market was highly volatile, but he did not issue any trading orders.

"hold on……"

In the capital markets, when most people believe it's a conspiracy by short sellers, the facts become irrelevant.

Sure enough, as more and more fund companies joined the short-selling camp, the USD/JPY exchange rate began to fall.

It once approached the key support level of 119.600.

At this time, the Ye Group.

Ye Feng looked at the changes on the screen and smiled: "As expected, you still can't keep your composure."

After the start of the European session, the USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuated more actively, but the amplitude gradually narrowed.

In the early hours of the morning, the decisive turning point finally arrived.

The USD/JPY exchange rate suddenly reversed course and began to decline sharply, like a flood bursting its banks.

This confirms that Ye Feng's decision was correct.

Just then, Liu Qingyi pushed open the door and entered.

"coming."

Her makeup was exquisite, and she had clearly dressed up carefully.

Ye Feng nodded and pointed to the coffee on the table: "Try it, it's made with freshly bought beans."

Liu Qingyi sat down, picked up her coffee, took a sip, and her brows relaxed slightly: "Not bad."

She put down her coffee cup and took a document out of her bag: "Have you looked at Shengshi Entertainment's financial report?"

"Hmm, not bad." Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on the computer screen.

"The market is very optimistic, and the stock price is rising. Some people have suggested that we increase our holdings."

Ye Feng finally looked up from the screen: "Increase holdings?"

Liu Qingyi asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Ye Feng chuckled lightly, "Market sentiment is high right now, it's a good time to sell. Increase holdings? I can't believe this guy even thought of that."

At this point, Ye Feng stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the city's night view.

"The USD/JPY exchange rate has fallen below 119, panic is spreading, the bulls are retreating one after another, and the price has been declining all the way down. It is now approaching 118."

He paused, turned around, and stared intently at Liu Qingyi. "Look at these people. Fear, greed, regret—all sorts of emotions are intertwined. That's the market."

Liu Qingyi looked at Ye Feng with admiration in her eyes.
