The traders stared at the screen in disbelief.
Not only had the price of gold fully rebounded—it had climbed over 1%!
Their accounts updated again.
Another 15 million in profit.
In total, after two opposite-direction operations, the gold account had earned 25 million in a single afternoon.
A 50% return rate.
Everyone was stunned.
"In just one afternoon… 25 million? A 50% return rate?!"
"I've been in finance for years and never seen anything like this!"
"And look at his entry points—every time he buys or sells, he catches the exact moment! This timing is too perfect! Is he… is he some kind of master?No wonder Vice President Lin values him so much!"
"Honestly… that might really be the case."
The investment manager's voice trembled with excitement."Report this to Vice President Lin immediately!"
When Alex Lin heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned Ethan Ye.
"Boss Lin, you were looking for me?" Ethan entered with a serious expression.
In his heart, he thought:
Did my long position finally lose money?Is that why he called me?Perfect. This is exactly what I've been waiting for.
But the moment he walked in—
Alex Lin rushed up and hugged him.
"Brother Ye! I knew you wouldn't disappoint me! Hahaha!"
Ethan froze."…Boss Lin? What's wrong?"
Something was off.This wasn't the face of someone who lost money.
Alex shook his head vigorously."Brother Ye, you ask me what's going on? Don't you know what you've done?"
"What… did I do?" Ethan asked nervously.
"What else? The gold trades!" Alex pointed at the big screen, beaming."You closed your short position exactly at the lowest point… then immediately went all-in long!And look—gold rebounded sharply and climbed another percentage point!"
He grabbed Ethan's hands excitedly.
"Brother Ye, you made another 15 million for me!Plus the earlier 10 million from the short—that's a total of 25 million today!Brother Ye, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Ethan Ye was struck by thunder.
He had, once again, made money for the villain.
Another 15 million.
25 million in one day.
What kind of cursed luck is this?!
It made no sense.
An investment manager sighed in admiration:
"Mr. Ye's operations are truly godlike!Always buying and selling at the exact best moment!And the courage to go all-in…He's more decisive than most professionals I've ever met!"
Another manager nodded quickly.
"I completely misjudged Mr. Ye. I thought he was just a bodyguard.It seems I was ignorant.Mr. Ye, forgive me for underestimating you!"
A third manager even bowed slightly.
"Mr. Ye… would you be willing to take me as your disciple?"
Ethan Ye: "…"
Every compliment felt like a knife twisting in his heart.
This wasn't praise.This was torture.
I don't know anything!!I just wanted him to lose!Why does he keep making money?!Someone tell me—WHY?!
His face was ashen, his soul drained.
Meanwhile, Alex Lin was glowing with pride.
"I knew from the start—Brother Ye is a genius!He made several hundred million for me the first day he joined.And today he earns over 20 million again!This is true talent!"
Alex clapped his hands.
"Talents shouldn't be wasted.I've decided—Brother Ye's trading capital will be increased to 100 million!"
This time, no one objected.
After all, his "results" had earned everyone's respect.
Alex patted Ethan's shoulder warmly.
"Brother Ye, go ahead and trade boldly.If you lose, I'll take responsibility.If you win, I'll reward you handsomely!"
Ethan forced a dry, tortured smile.
"Thank you… Boss Lin… for your kindness…"
Inside:
This is hell.
