Chapter 37: Brother Ye, Don’t Work So Hard—Leave Some for the Rest of Us!
Ye Xingchen stormed back to his room with a gloomy expression.
"I don't believe it! There's no way luck will keep favoring him forever!"
Determined to turn things around, he powered on his computer and went all-in on shorting gold.

Day 2
"It's dropping! Gold is falling!"
"Look at Mr. Ye's moves! Wow, he made money again! He must have secretly gone all-in on shorting gold last night!"
"Gold has dropped by 1.5%—that means Mr. Ye has made over 7 million!"
"What? Are you kidding? Mr. Ye's current capital is 100 million—that means he actually made 15 million!"
"This is insane! The moment he shorted, the market dropped!"
"As expected of Mr. Ye!"
...
Lin Beifan, brimming with satisfaction, patted Ye Xingchen on the shoulder.
"Brother, as expected of you—you made me another 15 million overnight! I'm increasing your funds by another 100 million! Trade however you like!"
On the surface, Ye Xingchen expressed his gratitude.
Deep inside, however, he was furious.
"Why did it fall again?!"
"I was trying to make that damn demon lose money! Seeing his smug face pisses me off!"
"Fine! This time, I'll go all-in long on gold! I'll wipe out everything I've made! I'll make him lose it all!"

Day 3
"It's rising! Gold is going up!"
"Wow! Mr. Ye already closed his previous position and went all-in on long! His foresight is unbelievable!"
"This time, gold is up 2%—are we about to make another 20 million?"
"20 million? Are you still living in the past? Last night, Mr. Lin doubled Mr. Ye's capital! He now controls 200 million—so we actually made 40 million!"
"40 million in one night! Mr. Ye, you're insane!"
...
Lin Beifan roared with laughter.
"Brother Ye, you never fail to surprise me! 40 million in one night! Since you're doing so well, I'll add another 100 million—keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, President Lin!" Ye Xingchen said modestly.
But inside, he was boiling with anger.
"Why did it go up again?!"
"And why so much?!"
"Damn it, the more I trade, the more he profits! Fine! I won't trade at all this time—let's see if he still makes money!"
---
Day 4
"Whoa! Gold is up another 2% today!"
"Look at what Mr. Ye did—he didn't even trade this time, yet he still made another 40 million!"
"It's not 40 million—it's 60 million! Boss Lin gave him another 100 million, bringing his total capital to 300 million! His profits are snowballing!"
"Mr. Ye is truly a trading genius! He's perfectly in sync with the gold market! Every trade is timed to perfection—it's unbelievable!"
"Mr. Ye is a god!"
...
Lin Beifan beamed with pride.
"Brother Ye, you're too talented! You're making money faster and faster! At this rate, you'll break 100 million in just a few days! Haha! I'm adding another 100 million—I'm looking forward to your next masterpiece!"
Ye Xingchen was completely numb.
"This gold market is insane… No matter what I do, I keep making money! This isn't logical at all!"
"I heard crude oil is even more volatile. Fine, I'll trade crude oil! Let's see if that market is as ridiculous as gold!"
---
Day 5
"Gold is dropping! But look at Mr. Ye's move—"
"Mr. Ye didn't short gold this time—he switched to crude oil!"
"Holy shit! He went all-in on crude oil—and it skyrocketed 4%! He caught the entire rally from start to finish!"
"Wait, Mr. Ye's capital is 400 million now, and he went all-in—doesn't that mean… he made 160 million?!"
"He broke 100 million! He's over 160 million now!"
"Mr. Ye is unbelievable! Not only did he dominate gold, but he's also a monster in crude oil!"
"Mr. Ye, you're too strong!!!"
...
Ye Xingchen: Pfft! (Spitting blood)
Lin Beifan was in awe.
"Wow, 160 million?! You really broke 100 million! Brother Ye, you're working too hard—take it easy! Play slower, leave some chances for others!"
Ye Xingchen: Pfft! (Spitting more blood)
---
In just a week, under Ye Xingchen's 'brilliant' trading, Lin Beifan's capital skyrocketed to 1 billion!
The growth rate was terrifying.
Seeing this, Lin Beifan made a bold decision—
He handed over most of his funds to Ye Xingchen for full control.
Meanwhile, he happily kicked back and enjoyed life.
And Ye Xingchen? He lived up to expectations.
With nearly 1 billion under his management, and no shortage of capital, he doubled it to 2 billion in less than three days!
Ye Xingchen: Pfft! (Coughing up even more blood)
Still not believing his luck, he placed two more trades—and ended up pushing his funds to 3 billion!
At this point, he was completely broken.
"Why is this happening?! I don't want to make money!!!"
"I know nothing about trading!"
"Can't I just lose money for once?!"
"God, what did I do to deserve this cruel fate?!"
...
By the end of the week—
Just looking at his account balance made him shudder in fear.
