The U.S. stock market has switched to winter hours, opening at 10:30 PM and closing at 5:00 AM.
Chen Wei had been waiting here for about half an hour. Just after 5:00, Wang Fang emerged from the elevator.
With her head down, carrying a bag, she looked somewhat absent-minded.
"Wang Fang!"
Chen Wei stood up and called out.
Wang Fang was clearly startled. When she saw it was Chen Wei, her expression grew even more flustered, and she said, "What... what do you want?"
"Was it Xu Lin who made you do this?"
Chen Wei approached her, looking her in the eye as he asked.
"No... no, don't talk nonsense! You guys broke the rules, I was just following company orders."
Wang Fang replied somewhat frantically, not daring to look at Chen Wei, her eyes darting around.
"Wang Fang, I don't know what Xu Lin or anyone else promised you, but let me tell you this: because of you, the three of us lost $100,000! Think about that."
Chen Wei finished speaking, turned, and walked away without waiting for a response.
Wang Fang was left standing there in shock.
Xu Lin had indeed given her some benefits.
Not much, just 2,000 yuan.
Xu Lin had told her that because of Yuan Tong's matter, she was displeased with Zhou Yi and Chen Wei, so she asked Wang Fang to keep an eye on them. If they violated any rules, she should not hesitate to punish them, giving them a lesson on her behalf.
Wang Fang understood the background and Xu Lin's resentment. Besides, Xu Lin's request was not excessive, and she could earn 2,000 yuan easily, so she agreed.
When she saw the system alert about Zhou Yi and Zheng Junpeng exceeding their limits, Wang Fang acted without hesitation and liquidated their positions. Then she informed Xu Lin, who praised her for her actions.
Later, Zhao Yang came up and scolded her without a second thought, which made Wang Fang feel wronged. She had done nothing wrong; Zhao Yang had no right to scold her!
After that, Wang Wentao reprimanded Zhou Yi and the others, making Wang Fang feel somewhat better. Then Xu Lin comforted her again and subtly instigated her, saying that if they violated the rules again, she should liquidate their positions immediately.
Wang Fang kept reassuring herself that she was not in the wrong, they were the ones who violated the rules.
However, she couldn't completely shake off the guilt.
Now, hearing Chen Wei say they lost $100,000!
Wang Fang's feelings went beyond guilt.
She was terrified!
That's right, she was scared!
$100,000!
She never imagined they would lose so much!
She had caused them to lose $100,000. How would they retaliate against her? They wouldn't let it go easily, would they?
The more Wang Fang thought about it, the more scared she became.
One after another, others started to leave the building.
Someone who knew her saw her looking distraught and asked her what was wrong.
Wang Fang snapped out of her daze, mumbled a few words, and hurriedly left.
Chen Wei took a taxi home.
The reason he said those things to Wang Fang was to remind her of the significant loss she caused them due to her recklessness.
Of course, there was also a hint of threat.
Judging by Wang Wentao's attitude, it seemed he had no intention of replacing the risk controller, so they would still have to operate under Wang Fang's supervision this month.
Who could guarantee Wang Fang wouldn't act out again?
What if Luo Chen and Xu Lin secretly incited Wang Fang to target them once more?
Another $100,000 loss? When would it end?
A slight threat to Wang Fang might make her understand the gravity of the situation!
After sleeping for a while at home, Chen Wei got up at noon and did some copper trading.
The market wasn't very stable for the first half-hour, with no clear trends or fluctuations. Chen Wei made a few trades but didn't earn much. However, after 2:00 PM, copper prices fluctuated between 47,340 and 47,370 for a while. Chen Wei traded heavily for over half an hour, earning around 150,000 yuan.
In the evening, when he arrived at the company, Zhou Yi was joking around as if nothing had happened the previous day.
Although Chen Wei was curious, he didn't ask much.
Wang Fang had tossed and turned all day, barely getting any sleep.
It wasn't until dusk that she managed to fall asleep for a while.
After waking up, she washed her face, ate something, got ready, and left.
She shared an old apartment with friends.
As she left the building, something felt off.
A man not far behind was following her!
When she walked, he walked. When she stopped, he stopped.
Wang Fang was scared.
She quickly walked to the bus stop.
There were more people at the bus stop, which made Wang Fang feel a bit safer.
But when she looked back, the man had also come over!
The man was wearing a hoodie and a mask, making it impossible for Wang Fang to see his face.
Gathering her courage, Wang Fang approached the man, looked at him, and asked, "Why are you following me?"
The man simply turned his head away, pretending not to see her.
Wang Fang wanted to ask more, but the bus arrived.
Wang Fang got on the bus.
The man followed her onto the bus!
The bus was crowded.
The man stayed close behind Wang Fang, making her feel extremely uneasy.
Finally, she arrived at her company and quickly got off the bus.
Looking back, she saw that the man didn't get off. Wang Fang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But through the bus window, she clearly saw the man still staring at her!
His eyes were cold!
A chill ran down Wang Fang's spine!
She couldn't help but think of what Chen Wei had said that morning.
Because of her, Chen Wei and the others lost $100,000. Could this man be someone they sent to harm her?
The more Wang Fang thought about it, the more terrified she became.
She thought about calling the police but didn't know what to say.
Without evidence, what could the police do?
Wang Fang could only try to comfort herself. After all, it was a lawful society; they wouldn't dare to do anything drastic, would they?
But she couldn't shake off the anxiety.
She entered the office, still feeling uneasy.
That evening, Chen Wei traded several SSR stocks, earning over 70,000 yuan. Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi also made substantial profits by following his lead.
When Chen Wei started trading major stocks, Zhou Yi got up and left the office.
He used the restroom and then went to the 28th floor.
He stood silently at the door of the risk control office, watching Xu Lin and Wang Fang inside.
The office doors were made of tempered glass, fully transparent.
Xu Lin glared at Zhou Yi with undisguised contempt.
Wang Fang felt even more uneasy.
She didn't dare to look up while sitting there.
At one point, Yuan Tong came out and saw Zhou Yi standing at the risk control office door. He coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yi didn't respond, just stared intently at Yuan Tong.
Yuan Tong, feeling unnerved, muttered, "Crazy!" and quickly walked away.
