After all wealth was wiped out, it became the highest peak in the A-share market.

Chapter 26 Come to my room later

"Li Chao, why didn't you check the stock market today? That stock dropped, and your account lost over three hundred."

After school on Friday, Li Chao went home with Qin Nuanyang for dinner. Qin Nuanyang said something to Li Chao.

"You watched it again?"

"Yes, that's money I borrowed, so I definitely need to keep an eye on it to feel at ease."

"Don't worry, I have inside information."

Anyway, there was no news today, and Li Chao didn't know the exact time; it might take a few more days.

Baoding Technology became a game-changer, mainly due to its equity transfer, which led to a strong performance with 12 limit-up days in 13 trading days, directly breaking the 200% deviation value abnormality and defying market supervision.

After the emergence of the "Breaking the Mold Dragon" pattern, the short-term market experienced a boom.

For Li Chao, a good market situation presents little challenge.

But he doesn't necessarily want to be a fool and gamble. The purpose of making money is to have a better life. Who would want to make money steadily and peacefully?

Having 50,000 yuan in principal is already pretty great. Thanks to Qin Nuanyang for the coming-of-age ceremony.

The phrase "insider information" was quite useful to Qin Nuanyang, especially since Li Chao had earned several thousand yuan during this period.

For students, stock trading is a mysterious thing, especially earning several thousand yuan so easily, which seems too magical. This makes her even more convinced that Li Chao has some inside information.

After arriving at Qin Nuanyang's house, things proceeded as usual.

There are no evening study sessions on Friday nights, so there's not much of a rush.

Most importantly, Qin Zhiguo has also returned, and we plan to have dinner together later.

Li Chao was sitting on the sofa when Qin Zhiguo washed a plate of fruit and brought it over. He then sat down next to him and asked, "The college entrance exam isn't far off. How about staying here? We can set up a small room in the living room, and you can stay in Nuanyang's room."

Upon hearing this, Li Chao knew it was similar to his previous life.

He initially refused, but then the pandemic hit, and he had no choice but to stay in his rented room, where he couldn't even get a meal.

Finally, he still came and occupied Qin Nuanyang's bedroom. Qin Nuanyang was forced to sleep on the sofa in the living room, with only a few curtains for cover.

"Uncle Qin, I've already caused you a lot of trouble. I'm doing fine staying at my place."

Li Chao's style is similar to before.

Qin Zhiguo immediately said, "That won't work. It's hot here. The rooms here have air conditioning, and it's convenient to take a shower every day. Most importantly, we can eat something after we come back from evening self-study."

As he spoke, he handed the fruit to Li Chao, knowing that Li Chao would never take it and eat it.

Li Chao then said, "Uncle Qin, I won't trouble you any further. If I'm not feeling well, I'll rent a bigger house."

"Rent a big house? That's fine too. I'll go look for one for you tomorrow. It has to be a decent place."

"No need, no need, I've already found one."

Li Chao took out his phone, found a video that the agent had sent him, and showed it to Qin Zhiguo. He said, "This house is right at the school gate, only about 12 meters away on foot. It has two bedrooms and a living room. I'm thinking of renting it after December. The room has air conditioning, so it will be warmer in winter."

Li Chao added several real estate agents on WeChat, and there were quite a few suitable houses, but the only issues were the price.

This apartment is fully equipped with everything, including a washing machine, air conditioner, and kitchen gas. You can move in without having to buy anything. The price is also quite reasonable. You pay for your own water and electricity, and the rent is 600 yuan per month.

Compared to his current rented room, which costs 2,000 yuan a year, this kind of house is definitely much more expensive in terms of rent, but it is also more comfortable to live in.

Qin Zhiguo glanced at it and thought it was indeed very nice, even better than his own home.

"Why wait until December? It's best to rent it now. It'll be hot for another two months."

If it were before, Qin Zhiguo, knowing Li Chao's personality, wouldn't have forced him.

But things are different now. Li Chao actually has the ability to get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities, so no problem can be ignored.

What if his future prospects are affected by some small factor?

If Li Chao can get into Tsinghua or Peking University, then he can finally give Li Chao's parents a proper explanation.

The rent is indeed not cheap. I'll be staying until the end of August next year, which is exactly one year, costing over seven thousand yuan.

Including other expenses, it might cost nine or ten thousand.

But this is all small change.

Seeing that Li Chao didn't speak, Qin Zhiguo said again, "Send me the agent's WeChat and this video. I'll go and negotiate for you tomorrow. Since it's the weekend, I can help you move and buy some household items."

The weekend he referred to was for himself.

Li Chao has to go to the classroom to study on Saturdays and Sundays. The only difference is that the self-study period is not so strict. There is no rule about when you must be there, and it will not be counted as an absence. Also, there is no evening self-study on Fridays and Saturdays.

Li Chao took back his phone and said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, I don't need it right now. Let's talk about it in December."

Qin Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright then, have some fruit first, dinner will be a little later."

After saying that, he got off the sofa, walked to the door, and made a phone call.

"Is this Baofeng Real Estate? Do you have a manager named Yang Chao?"

"Yes, I want to rent a house from him."

While watching the video, he had already noted down the agent's WeChat information.

Real estate agents usually write down their company name, their own name, and their contact information.

Qin Zhiguo couldn't remember such a long phone number, but he could easily remember the company name and the agent's name.

All you need to do is add the other person on your WeChat, then have them send you suitable listings to compare, and find the one that Li Chao likes.

We must strictly follow the process. If Li Chao takes a liking to a house, it must be because there's something he likes about it, and he'll feel satisfied after moving in. Other houses are not being considered for the time being.

……

After finishing his meal at Qin Zhiguo's place, Li Chao rested for more than an hour before finally leaving.

On his way back to his rented room, he ran into Wen He, who also saw him.

Then, Wen He moved closer to him and whispered, "I've compiled a self-study system for mathematics. Do you want it now?"

"So fast?"

"Well, math is relatively easier, but the combined science subjects will take a bit longer. I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay..."

As they were talking, they turned into a small alley. Li Chao took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Wen He. "Here's a thousand yuan. Keep it for now. Give it to me whenever you've finished the rest."

Wen He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and reached out to take the money.

To some extent, she was happy to do things for Li Chao.

Li Chao didn't let her work for nothing, and he was also generous with the money.

However, just after she took the money, she found herself facing a middle-aged woman.

She felt a little flustered when she saw the middle-aged woman looking at her with a strange expression.

He whispered to Li Chao, "I only have two pages on me. The other six pages are in my room. Come and get them later. I'm leaving now."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and walked towards the courtyard of the rental house.

Li Chao noticed Wen He's nervousness and also saw the woman at the door of the rented room.

Especially after Wen He entered the gate, the woman followed him.

Although the woman looked quite old, one could still vaguely see the beauty she possessed in her youth between her brows. However, her attire was slightly overly flamboyant, creating a stark contrast with Wen He.
