Wen Nian continued, “Moreover, Brother will be taking the exam in the capital in January. The Shen Jun family is also in the capital. If we really encounter any trouble, I can call him and ask him.”

Zhou Mei and Wen Xing exchanged glances and agreed that the arrangement seemed reasonable. “Alright then, let your father take charge. Oh, by the way, how should we address the issue with your teacher?”

Wen Nian had already thought of this question. “I’ll ask Shen Jun another day and see if he knows any teachers in the capital who want to earn extra money. I’ll have to trouble him to give me his contact information.”

Seeing that Wen Nian had considered everything, Zhou Mei did not ask further.

When she woke up the next day, Wen Nian noticed that it was almost late December. Thinking of Wang Jing, Wen Nian felt that it was time for her to take action. Otherwise, Huang Yue might have escaped this calamity.

At noon, Wen Nian specially asked Shen Jun to get food while she walked out of the classroom sneakily while Huang Yue was still in the classroom.

When Huang Yue saw this, she immediately followed closely behind, wanting to see if she could catch Wen Nian with something shameful. Although Wei Xiao’s plan had stopped, she really didn’t want to let Wen Nian off.

Wen Nian looked around and found a remote corner. She pressed her phone screen. “How’s the situation?”

Huang Yue, who was not far from Wen Nian, discreetly positioned herself around the corner, straining her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation.

“Are you sure that Chengheng Technology will soar next month?”

When Huang Yue heard the familiar name of the company, she quickly realized that it was the same stock that Wang Jing had mentioned during their previous conversation.

“You’re an internal employee, of course I believe you! How much is the increase this time?”

When Huang Yue heard the key information, she was even more focused. After a while, she heard Wen Nian’s shocked tone.

“More than 12 to 50 to 60 yuan?! That’s several times higher!”

“Of course I want to buy it! In the previous few instances, the increase wasn’t significant, and I didn’t make much profit. But this time, I’m aware that there’s a huge earning potential, and yet I hesitated to seize the opportunity. I’ve been foolish. I also know that such significant opportunities for substantial growth don’t come often. Tonight, I’ll discreetly transfer the money from my mother’s bank account to mine. I’ve made up my mind to invest 50,000 yuan and wait for a four to five-fold return!”

Even without seeing Wen Nian’s face, Huang Yue could hear the excitement in her voice. The prospect of such income was tempting, not just for Wen Nian, but for Huang Yue as well.

“Don’t worry. I understand that disclosing this information could lead to investigations on insiders. That’s why I made sure to answer your call in an isolated location.”

“Alright, once I sell it, we’ll split the profit with a 70% to 30% ratio as my reward for sharing the information with you! That’s all for now. Feel free to reach out if you need anything.”

As Wen Nian approached her direction, Huang Yue quickly sought refuge behind a nearby cover, hoping to remain unnoticed.

“Idiot, do you think you can just find a place with no one around? I heard it and I don’t even have to share any portion of the profit!”

Huang Yue felt a sense of satisfaction for noticing Wen Nian’s unusual behavior in time. Initially, she had only intended to earn some interest, but hearing about the stock’s potential rise from two unrelated individuals caused her previously conservative mindset to waver.

Huang Yue bit her lower lip and thought for a while before calling Wang Jing.

At this moment, Wang Jing had an ordinary-looking daughter of a rich family on his lap. When he saw the call, he rejected the call.

When the daughter of the wealthy family noticed Secretary Huang’s name on the caller ID, her curiosity piqued. “Why didn’t you answer? What if it’s an urgent business matter?” she inquired.

Wang Jing embraced the girl tightly, a doting smile adorning her face. “No matter how important it may be, it can’t compare to the significance of being with you. Sweetie, have you thought about how much you want to invest in that stock?” she asked affectionately.

When Huang Yue noticed that the call had been disconnected, she didn’t dwell on it too much. Assuming that Wang Jing was busy, she figured it would be better to send a message on WeChat instead. She typed out a message accordingly.

Huang Yue: “Baby, I heard you say that Chengheng Technology’s shares will increase greatly next month. I want to buy some too, but I don’t know how to operate it. Can you teach me?”

Wen Nian walked briskly back to the classroom, feeling a sense of relief when she saw that Huang Yue’s seat was still vacant. The trap had been set, and its success would ultimately depend on Huang Yue’s level of greed.

Wen Nian acknowledged that Huang Yue couldn’t be solely blamed for the situation. After all, if Huang Yue hadn’t harbored the intention to cause harm, she wouldn’t have followed her outside. Similarly, if Huang Yue hadn’t been driven by greed, she wouldn’t have fallen into the trap.

It had been a while since Shen Jun brought the food back. When he saw Wen Nian enter the classroom, he asked curiously, “Where did you go?”

Wen Nian smiled and sat down. “I was doing something serious. Let’s eat..¹‘
