Deren collapsed! Made a killing!

Jiang Yanfei was working nearby, occasionally glancing at Muge, who was now fast asleep on the sofa.

When she noticed that Muge's phone was still lit up, Jiang Yanfei rose and approached him.

Looking at the handsome man sleeping soundly on the sofa, Jiang Yanfei couldn't help but smile.

"Not snoring while sleeping is also considered an advantage," she muttered to herself.

She then picked up a blanket and gently covered Muge with it.

After getting up early, driving, being involved in a fender bender, and analyzing the stock market, Muge had exhausted all his energy for the morning. He had intended to scroll through TikTok but fell asleep in the process.

After covering Muge with the blanket, Jiang Yanfei's attention was drawn back to his phone, which was still playing TikTok videos. Curious, she picked up the phone.

"I'll just take a peek at his usual hobbies," she told herself.

"See if he's looking at other women?"

"Is this wrong?"

"What's wrong with it? I'm his girlfriend now!"

"Just a look, it's fine."

"Jiang Yanfei, do you really not trust him?"

Holding Muge's phone, Jiang Yanfei wrestled with her conscience but ultimately gave in to her curiosity.

She began scrolling through Muge's TikTok feed, which, as someone who frequently interacted with corporate clients, she was familiar with the platform's recommendation system.

At first, she saw videos about basketball, gaming, and financial tips.

"I didn't expect him to be so disciplined, liking sports and gaming," she thought to herself.

She then clicked on Muge's profile picture and found his favorites, which included gaming screenshots and follows for local food bloggers in Hangzhou.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanfei was convinced that this man had no unhealthy hobbies.

Just as she was about to put the phone back, a WeChat notification sounded.

Knowing it was wrong to snoop, Jiang Yanfei couldn't help but look. She switched to WeChat and saw a message from someone labeled "Money-Making Beast": "Come pick me up tonight, I'm going to your place."

Her heart skipped a beat. She almost replied, "Who are you?" but stopped herself. Instead, she clicked on the person's profile and scrolled through their Moments, finding many selfies with comments from Muge.

"Who is this?" Jiang Yanfei's mind was reeling. She wanted to wake Muge up and confront him, but she restrained herself, realizing she had no right to be angry since she was the one snooping.

She made a decision and said nothing. Soon, the secretary returned with lunch, and Muge was woken up.

Seeing Jiang Yanfei still working, Muge said, "Eat first, then work. Your health is the most important thing."

Jiang Yanfei wanted to snap at him but held her tongue, knowing she had no solid evidence. She forced a smile and walked over from her desk.

"Take a look, do you like these dishes?" she asked, showing remarkable restraint for a business elite.

"Yes, thank you," Muge replied, unaware of the storm brewing in Jiang Yanfei's mind. He dug into his food with gusto.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yanfei had lost her appetite, her mind still fixated on that mysterious WeChat message.

"You bought so many dishes, but you're not eating them yourself. You want me to eat them all?"

Muge watched as Jiang Yanfei ate in small bites, barely making a dent in the food.

"You eat. I'm not very hungry," she said.

Ignoring her words, Muge picked up a shrimp, put on a disposable glove, peeled it, and placed it in Jiang Yanfei's bowl.

"You can eat more of this. I'll peel them for you. Unlike other food, you won't get fat from eating shrimp," he said.

Jiang Yanfei felt a sweet warmth in her heart from Muge's sudden tenderness, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease caused by the earlier message.

"Thank you. You eat too, don't worry about me," she said.

"If you could eat by yourself, I wouldn't bother. Look at how little you've eaten so far," Muge replied.

"Stop worrying. I'm full. You eat, and I'll peel the shrimp," Jiang Yanfei insisted.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Under Muge's care, Jiang Yanfei ate a meal that was both sweet and bittersweet.

Soon, it was time for the stock market to open in the afternoon.

Everyone had been too busy to notice the news about the side effects of Deren Pharmaceuticals that had shot to the top of the trending list during lunch.

So, when the market opened, those who were following Muge's short position were surprised to see that the Deren stock price, which had been strong in the morning, was now falling off a cliff, dropping by 50% in just 10 minutes.

The managers gathered in Jiang Yanfei's office - Fang, Xu, and Zhang - all looked at Muge in amazement.

"Mr. Muge, you're amazing. It really is 50%!"

"Mr. Muge, you have to tell me how you analyzed this. I want to learn from you!"

"Mr. Muge, since you've achieved the prediction you made in the morning, I have no problem with the maximum leverage of 12 times," said Xu, the director.

After hearing Xu's words, Muge and the others turned to look at Jiang Yanfei, who was also staring at the market in shock.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Jiang Yanfei slowly nodded.

"Muge, I'll give you 100 million yuan as operating capital and add the maximum leverage," she said.

"Thank you for your support, Ms. Jiang. I won't disappoint you," Muge replied, giving her a deep look.

Only Jiang Yanfei and Muge knew the meaning behind that look.

"Alright, let's get prepared. Muge, you can operate from my office," Jiang Yanfei said.

"Mr. Xu, please bring the other department managers here so we can all watch how Muge operates," she added.

Immediately, Managers Fang and Zhang became delighted as well.

As the company's top management headed towards Jiang Yanfei's office, word spread among the employees that Muge had made a bold decision to short Deren stock in the morning. The entire company was abuzz with excitement.

Some people did the math to calculate how much revenue Muge had generated from this trade.
