Chen Wei smiled faintly and said, "Actually, even if Mr. Wang wanted me to speak, I would refuse. Mr. Wang is right. My 'methods' aren't really methods at all. You've seen me trade those SSR stocks before. If that's considered a method, how would I even communicate it?"
Zhao Yang glanced at Chen Wei and remarked, "That's true. Not everyone has your kind of intuition."
Zhao Yang emphasized the word "intuition" heavily, evidently still not fully believing that Chen Wei made those trades based on intuition alone.
But Chen Wei didn't want to discuss it further, and Zhao Yang didn't press him.
On the podium, Yuan Tong was speaking eloquently.
Below, Xu Lin leaned on her elbows, supporting her head with her hands, watching Yuan Tong with adoration and admiration in her eyes.
Although Zhou Yi couldn't see Xu Lin's expression from behind, he could sense her affection from her posture alone.
It stabbed at his heart like a knife.
The gaze he directed at Yuan Tong was filled with envy and resentment.
After Yuan Tong had been speaking for almost half an hour, he concluded, "The method we're using now has been thoroughly tested and validated by our core team over a long period. It's not flawless, but relatively speaking, it's quite refined. While certain unconventional trading methods may yield substantial profits in the short term, they're not comprehensive and have limitations. If the market changes even slightly, those methods might become ineffective, and consequently, unprofitable. Therefore, it's better for everyone to focus on learning and mastering our practical approach. Alright, that's all from me. Thank you, everyone!"
Just as Yuan Tong was about to step down, someone shouted, "Bullshit!"
The sparse applause in the conference room abruptly ceased.
All heads turned towards the back.
Zhou Yi stood there, his eyes wide with anger, pointing accusingly at Yuan Tong.
It was him who had shouted.
Yuan Tong's previously calm smile turned into a scowl instantly. He glared coldly at Zhou Yi, clenching his teeth and breathing heavily, clearly furious.
Wang Wentao narrowed his eyes but made no immediate reaction.
Xu Lin also turned to glare angrily at Zhou Yi.
Her gaze pierced through Zhou Yi's heart like an arrow.
Luo Chen also glanced at Zhou Yi with a hint of amusement.
"Zhou Yi, sit down!" Zhao Yang was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Zhou Yi to suddenly burst out like that. After realizing what had happened, Zhao Yang promptly stood up, pushed Zhou Yi back into his seat.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? He's only made a bit of money! Yet he's shamelessly claiming his methods are perfect, and even insinuating that Chen Laoda's methods are no good. Can someone who made just a few bucks dare to say that? Let him try to make what Chen Laoda does!"
Zhou Yi wasn't one to hold back, especially when facing his rival. He was already burning with fury, disregarding everything else.
His outburst ignited discussions among the other traders:
"Yeah, Yuan Tong is too arrogant! Chen Wei earned so much, he must have a good method. How dare he criticize someone else's method!"
"That's right! I think he's just jealous."
"He can't match what others have achieved, so he denigrates their methods. This kind of character is beyond words!"
Yuan Tong's face was already quite ugly, and hearing the discussions only made it worse. He glared hatefully at Zhou Yi and then at Chen Wei beside him before turning on his heel and storming out of the conference room.
Xu Lin hurriedly followed him.
Wang Wentao's expression also soured.
After glancing at Zhou Yi and then at Zhao Yang, he signaled to Zhao Yang with his eyes before saying, "Quiet down, everyone! Regardless, the method Yuan Tong just shared has valuable insights for most of the traders here. Chen Wei's method is also good. Next month, we'll have Chen Wei share his approach. Alright, meeting adjourned!"
With that, Wang Wentao left with a stern face.
The female staff from the risk control department looked at each other strangely, whispering among themselves before leaving. Some cast curious glances back at Zhou Yi.
If the female staff from the risk control department didn't harbor any hatred towards Zhou Yi before, the traders from the core team now did.
In their eyes, Zhou Yi's outburst wasn't just directed at Yuan Tong but at the entire core team.
And it all stemmed from Chen Wei.
In their view, if it weren't for Chen Wei's stroke of luck, Zhou Yi wouldn't have said those things!
The traders from the core team glared resentfully at Zhou Yi and Chen Wei before leaving one by one.
Luo Chen cast a meaningful glance at Zhou Yi and silently left.
Others followed suit, leaving the conference room gradually.
A few of them even gave Zhou Yi a thumbs-up as they left.
Zhou Yi felt triumphant.
Sun Chong, on the other side, said to Zhou Yi, "Impressive, kid! I like it. Ha ha, want to join our Group Five?"
"Get lost, stop adding fuel to the fire here! This brat has annoyed the hell out of me! Zhou Yi, come with me!"
Zhao Yang was both exasperated and amused.
Zhou Yi, however, showed no signs of fear. Instead, he held his head high, as if daring anyone to challenge him.
Zhao Yang was both exasperated and amused.
This time, Chen Wei shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, and left the conference room.
The resentful gazes from Yuan Tong and the core team traders didn't escape his notice.
He understood where their resentment came from.
But Chen Wei wasn't too bothered by it.
Let them hate if they want to, as long as they don't provoke him.
What started as a routine monthly summary meeting ended unexpectedly, leaving everyone surprised.
Many discussions ensued.
Some speculated how Wang Wentao would punish Zhou Yi, others debated the nature of Chen Wei's actions, and still, others focused on Yuan Tong and the core team.
Chen Wei returned to the trading room and didn't immediately go home, choosing to stay in the company for a while longer.
Although Chen Wei was well aware that Zhou Yi's outburst stemmed from envy rather than genuine defense of him, leaving without saying anything would seem too indifferent.
Moreover, Chen Wei was also curious about how Wang Wentao would handle the situation.
So he waited for a while, intending to ask Zhou Yi about it when he returned.
