Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

At this moment, Yu Qin stood aside, looking at Chen Dong with a questioning gaze, hesitant to speak.

Her lips moved slightly, but she swallowed her words back, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Dong noticed Yu Qin's unusual behavior, and with a warm smile on his face, he asked softly, "Yu Qin, what's wrong?"

"Just say what you want to say. We're classmates, there's nothing we can't talk about."

Yu Qin said cautiously, "I said yes, but you can't treat me badly because of what I say or my attitude."

"I was just a little curious, nothing more."

Chen Dong sighed helplessly, spread his hands, pointed to himself, and asked, "Am I that kind of person?"

"We're friends, why would I hold a grudge against you over something like this? Don't worry."

Guo Miao, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up for Chen Dong, stepped forward, patted Yu Qin on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Brother Dong is not that kind of person, so don't worry about it."

"Brother Dong is always magnanimous, he wouldn't stoop to your level."

Yu Qin then mustered up her courage and asked, "I'm just curious about what Tao Hao meant by 'being kept by a rich woman'?"

"He spoke so convincingly, but I've been having doubts."

Chen Dong shrugged helplessly again, spread his hands, and replied, "That so-called rich woman is really my second aunt."

"Last weekend, I went with my second aunt to buy a three-wheeled vehicle. She has always wanted to learn how to drive one so that it would be convenient for her to go out to buy things or visit neighbors on weekdays."

"Then we went to an open space and I taught her how to drive it, step by step."

"After all that trouble, when we were driving home, Tao Hao probably saw us by chance."

Yu Qin then asked, "Who bought this three-wheeled vehicle? It's not cheap, it costs several thousand yuan. Most families can't afford to spend that much money." Guo Miao, who was standing nearby, became a little anxious and reached out to tug at Yu Qin's arm, complaining, "How can you still believe Tao Hao's words? You're doubting Brother Dong here."

"We all know what kind of person Dong Ge is. Would he really do something like that?"

Yu Qin hesitated for a moment, then gave a helpless, bitter smile and said, "But what Tao Hao said makes some sense."

“In a normal family, even if Chen Dong’s parents are both working and earning a fixed salary each month, it’s impossible for them to give him the equivalent of a worker’s monthly salary as pocket money, right?”

“In our school, besides Chen Dong, who else has that much money? I’m just a little puzzled.”

Before Chen Dong could speak, Guo Miao said helplessly, "This is all thanks to Brother Dong's abilities; Brother Dong earned this money himself."

“Dong-ge is very clever, unlike us, who only know how to bury ourselves in books.”

Yu Qin blinked in surprise, her eyes wide, and asked, "Money he earned himself? How could a high school student earn money?"

Guo Miao scratched his head, looking at Chen Dong with an endearing expression, and said, "Brother Dong, I can't really explain how to make money."

"You should tell us yourself, so that Yu Qin won't keep making wild guesses."

Then, Yu Qin, Guo Miao, and Chu Mengran all looked at Chen Dong with curiosity, their eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge.

Chen Dong smiled, glanced at the three of them, and asked, "Do you know anything about stocks?"

The three of them shook their heads together, their heads bobbing like rattles, their faces full of confusion.

Chen Dong paused for a moment, then tilted his head slightly and looked up at the sky.

After a moment of contemplation, like a knowledgeable mentor, he began to explain to them: "Stocks, simply put, uh..."

"It means that in order to raise funds, the company divides itself into several parts, and each part is a share."

"Going public means that once a company meets certain conditions, it puts its shares on the securities market for sale, allowing everyone to invest."

"When a company makes money, those who bought shares can receive a share of the profits according to their shareholding ratio. That's the general idea behind buying and selling shares and stocks."

"And stocks, like other things in the market, fluctuate in price."

After explaining what stocks are, Chen Dong continued, "I borrowed some money from my dad and made a lot of money from stock trading, which is why I'm so generous and seem to have a lot of pocket money."

"However, stock trading is very risky. It took me a long time to figure it out and I read a lot of books before I slowly started to understand it."

Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin were all deeply shocked, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

He thought to himself, "I didn't expect Chen Dong to be so capable, knowing so much about making money."

"How old is he? He can already make a fortune in stocks. He must be incredibly smart."

Yu Qin asked bluntly, "So, Chen Dong, how much money did you actually make?"

Chen Dong replied with a smile, "I earned 20,000."

But in his heart he thought, "I can't say that I actually made 100,000, otherwise it would be too outrageous."

"Although 20,000 is still outrageous, at least it sounds a little more reasonable."

"If they knew I made so much money, they'd be shocked. I probably wouldn't be able to keep a low profile at school anymore."

Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin were so shocked by the number that they stared wide-eyed, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Then came gasps of surprise, one after another.

Chen Dong then took the initiative to explain his plans.

"I've always wanted to start my own business and make something of myself."

"But I'm a high school student now, and my studies are my priority, so I really don't have much time."

"So I thought of starting a business with my second aunt. She has plenty of time and is very capable."

"So, I bought this three-wheeled vehicle and plan to open a chicken farm. I'll have my second aunt help me manage it. I'll start with a small business and learn as I go."

Now, Yu Qin had no more doubts.

She felt guilty for her previous lack of resolve, and a blush rose to her face.

Yu Qin lowered her head and apologized to Chen Dong, "Chen Dong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you before."

"I got carried away and followed Tao Hao's train of thought for a while, and almost misunderstood you. Please don't take it to heart."

Chen Dong waved his hand, looking calm and with a forgiving smile, and said, "It's alright, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If there's a small misunderstanding between us friends, it's fine as long as we talk it out."

But in his heart he thought, "If I weren't a reincarnated person, with the knowledge and experience from my previous life..."

“If the offspring of ordinary officials’ families demonstrated such wealth, then what Tao Hao said might actually be true.”

"Unfortunately, I am a reborn person, outside the realm of common sense, so naturally I cannot be viewed through the eyes of ordinary people."
