Rebirth and making money first

Chapter 202 The Mentality of Leeks

When Zhang Zhi brought the child over, Zhang Jing noticed that her face looked off, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Zhang Zhi rolled her eyes at Zhang Jing and said weakly, "Now you only care about your brother and not your sister?"

Zhang Jing asked, "What are you talking about?" Zhang Zhi replied, "Oh, you don't have to hide it from me. I know everything. I heard you're really good at stock trading. Even Zhang Xiaobing is looking for you now. Oh! My stock trading is a mess. Can you tell me what stocks you're buying now?"

Zhang Jing said she hadn't bought anything yet. Zhang Zhi said, "You're still keeping it a secret. What's there to keep secret? If you make money, can't your sister make some too? Can't you tell your sister which stocks to buy? Don't think I don't know that Zhang Xiaobing has already transferred his account to you for trading! I heard he made money too. Humph! When good things happen, you don't think of me, and when I have problems, I only think of you! You're so heartless. Are you still siblings?"

Zhang Jing asked, "I heard you borrowed 10 yuan from Zhang Xiaobing?" Zhang Zhi asked, "Who told you that?" Zhang Jing replied, "Who else told you that? Besides Zhang Xiaobing? I heard you've almost paid it back. How did you manage to lose the yuan? I'm really curious! How did you manage to buy things like that?"

Zhang Zhi said, "Alas! I also went to the stock exchange and listened to people talking about this and that news. Actually, I made some money at the beginning. But then I got greedy and slowly started losing money again."

Zhang Jing asked, "Are you still speculating now?" Zhang Zhi replied, "Why would I? I don't have the money anymore, but I still have some money sitting there, stuck there. I'll wait until the price goes up."

Zhang Zhi asked again, "Sister, you really won't tell me?" Zhang Jing said, "I haven't even looked at the stock market yet. I'll need to analyze it again when the time comes to decide which one to buy. I'll tell you once I buy it." Zhang Zhi said, "You said it, and you can't go back on your word when the time comes."

Zhang Jing said, "Okay, I got it! Of course, I'll tell you when you buy. And if you're reluctant to sell and get stuck, I can't help you." Zhang Zhi said, "Don't worry, this isn't my first time buying and selling stocks."

The little girl came over and said to Zhang Jing as soon as she saw her, "Auntie, I heard you made some money. Can you buy me a gift?" Zhang Jing was very surprised and asked, "What gift do you want?" The little girl said, "I'm going to school. Can you give me a new schoolbag?" Zhang Jing said, "That's easy. Not only can I give you a new schoolbag, I can also give you a full set of stationery and new clothes. Everything is new!"

The little girl was very happy and kept saying, "Yes, yes, Auntie, you are so kind! Auntie, I have money too. How about I give you my money and you help me make money too?"

Zhang Jing asked, "Oh, how much money do you have?" Naituanzi said, "I have a lot of money." Zhang Zhi said, "How much money can she have? Isn't it the red envelopes you gave her during the Chinese New Year? Add in the red envelopes her grandparents gave her, it should be over 1000 yuan! Oh, I have to contribute to her annual insurance premiums. I have to pay for everything, so why don't you lend me some!"

Zhang Jing perked up when she heard this and said, "How can I lend you the money? I have more money than I need. Besides, doesn't your husband give you money every month?" Zhang Zhi said, "I still have to pay it back to Zhang Xiaobing! With all this talk, I don't know when I'll be able to pay it back! I plan to pay it back in three years."

Zhang Jing said, "You're amazing! You paid off 10 yuan in three years! If you saved money on your own, could you save that much?" Zhang Zhi said, "Yeah, I think so too. After I pay off Zhang Xiaobing, I'll start saving money from now on."

Zhang Jing asked, "Your life is incredibly hectic, isn't it? Doesn't your husband notice?" Zhang Zhi replied, "No! You know what? My husband only comes home once every two weeks. Every time he does, I fill the fridge with everything. Meat, fish, and fruit. As soon as he's gone, we save money and eat everything. After I eat all the meat and fruit, every day we have vegetables and porridge. We keep it simple. My daughter eats at kindergarten and my son has formula, so I just make do."

"Oh! I feel like I'm about to turn into a little white rabbit! Life is so hard. But there's no other way. In order to pay him back, I have to live frugally. I estimate that I can pay it back in a year. Oh, I must not let my husband know about this, otherwise I'm doomed!"

Zhang Jing said, "You're really amazing. No wonder you look so unhappy!"

Zhang Zhi said, "Do you think I'm you? You have the final say in everything. Look at your family, all the financial power is in your hands. You can buy whatever you want, buy which stocks you want, and do whatever you want. My parents-in-law won't bother you. My brother-in-law listens to you in this regard. He doesn't understand whether you make a lot or a little, even if you lose money, and he won't have any opinions!"

Zhang Jing said, "Don't keep saying that. After all, Achen isn't very good at this. Actually, the main reason I bought stocks this time was because Achen's grandfather passed away and gave him 8 yuan. I thought putting it in the bank wouldn't earn much interest, so I decided to just speculate in the stock market. Now that I've made some money, I've just enough to make 10 yuan, so I'm putting it in a fixed deposit."

Zhang Zhi said, "If that's the case, why bother with a fixed deposit? If you have the ability, I'm telling you, with that 10 yuan, if you invest a little more, you might be able to make hundreds of thousands soon! The interest you earn from saving in a bank account is the lowest. It's just dead money if you leave it there! Don't be so stubborn!"

Zhang Jing said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll know which stocks to trade after I've finished looking at them. Some things still require a lot of research." Zhang Zhi said, "Remember this: don't tell me when the time comes. There's no need. You must tell me, right? We'll make money together! We're sisters. We can't just let Zhang Xiaobing make the money while I just watch!"

To get Zhang Jing to help her, Zhang Zhi had been bringing her children over every day these days, and she'd also taken the initiative to fetch milk from her. She'd also been competing with Aunt Sun for housework, taking care of Zhang Jing's two children and her own son with ease.

Whenever Zhang Jing needed a hand, she would always say, "Hey, put it there and let me do it. Go check the stock market and stop doing other things. Go check the stock market and see what's there to invest in. Your brain is for making money, not for anything else."

Zhang Jing was at a loss for words. Considering they all wanted to trade stocks, she had no choice but to open the stock market and watch it every day. She kept watching without saying a word. Seeing this, Zhang Zhi became anxious and urged her, "Sister, you've been watching for so many days. Have you figured out anything?"

Zhang Jing said, "What do you think? Some things depend on luck, timing, and market trends. How can you seize all the opportunities to make money at once?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "I know, I know. I won't bother you anymore. Take your time!" Zhang Jing felt that sometimes she would stare blankly at the computer for a long time without even turning the screen. Then she thought: This won't work. I need to find a stock to deal with Zhang Zhi. Otherwise, she will keep annoying me. It's better to find a long-term stock to let her hold on.

After thinking it over, Zhang Jing simply asked Zhang Zhi, "Are you looking for a short-term or long-term investment?" Zhang Zhi said, "Of course, the main focus is on making money!" Zhang Jing said, "Both short-term and long-term investments can make money, it's just a matter of how much you make. Short-term investments are just about making quick money, but the profits are small. Long-term investments are definitely longer, so you don't need to watch the market all day long, so you can say that you will make long-term profits."

Zhang Zhi said, "Look at the question you asked. I'm in urgent need of money. I can't wait that long. I can't wait to return the money to Zhang Xiaobing right now. You don't know how it feels to owe money. It's really hard!"

Zhang Xiaobing knew that Zhang Zhi was also staring at Zhang Jing. He was also anxious. He came over and said to Zhang Jing, "Sister, if you buy any stocks this time, you must take me with you. My second sister has already taken it, so you should take me with you too. The three of us sisters can make money together. Then, no one will have to borrow money from anyone else. How great is that!"

Zhang Jing thought: Oh, just so that no one will borrow money from each other, you have to make money!

Alas, it is so difficult for me. If I didn’t have the golden finger of past life memories, I guess everyone would be finished.

Director Chen suddenly called Zhang Jing. "Jing, it's been a while since we last spoke. How's everything been going lately? How's the stock market going? Are you buying any stocks?"

Zhang Jing said, "I bought some stocks a while ago and made a little profit, but now my brother and sister are eyeing them! Zhang Zhi and Zhang Xiaobing are watching my purchases every day. I'm forced to sit in front of the computer and check stocks all day long. I don't even have to do any housework! They just hope I can find some good stocks."

Upon hearing this, Director Chen burst out laughing and said, "Ah Jing, I'm waiting for you too. Why didn't you tell me last time? I'm waiting to make money with you, too."

Zhang Jing said, "You're all counting on me. If I let you lose money, I'll be failing in my duties." Director Chen said, "Don't be ridiculous, Jing. We believe in you. You must watch carefully! Tell us as soon as you see any stocks you see. We'll act early and synchronize with you. You can buy at any price you tell us, and we'll sell when you tell us."

Zhang Jing said, "Don't scare me!"

Director Chen said, "Oh, you don't know, we're so poor now! Ever since the house was demolished..." Zhang Jing said, "After the house was demolished, aren't you rich now? Why are you still saying you're poor? And don't you get rent from the shop?"

Director Chen said, "Ah Jing, you don't know. Nowadays, when you make money, you spend more or less. The more you earn, the more you spend. As for my child and wife, I won't say more. The more I talk, the more tears I cry. Anyway, as long as I don't die, I have to make money to the death!"

Zhang Jing asked again, "How are Gao Wei and Alan doing now? I've never asked Gao Wei. Didn't he and Alan have a daughter? How are they doing?"

Director Chen said, "It doesn't seem like anything. Gao Wei still drives his own car to work every day. He's doing a good job. As for how his family is doing? We didn't ask! He already has a child, so what else can he do?"

Zhang Jing said, "I'm afraid he'll end up like Chen Shimei. What if he kicks Alan out? How pitiful Alan would be! So you have to be very careful with him and not let him have any second thoughts. At the very least, you have to be good to Alan. He has a Shenzhen hukou now, a house, and a child. He can't be ungrateful!"

Director Chen said, "That's the thing. We really can't make the decision. Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable. All we can do is give them some advice. But the most important thing is to make more money! Zhang Jing, you should worry less and just focus on your stocks. If there's any movement, be sure to alert me. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

Zhang Jing wondered, "Has my golden finger been exposed? Why do so many people think they should follow me in stock trading? What if Heaven gives me another blow? Will it be because I've revealed too many secrets?" Oh, it's so difficult, whether you have money or not.

The director of the nursing home called and asked Zhang Jing, "Didn't you say you'd come to visit? How's the fundraising going? Have you thought it through?" Zhang Jing replied, "I've thought it through, but I'm not going to invest. I'm trading stocks now, and I've made some money. I think it's more reliable than investing."

The female director asked, "Ah? You're still buying stocks? I do too, occasionally. If you have any good news, remember to let me know." Zhang Jing said, "No way, you're also speculating, how come I haven't heard of it?" The director replied, "You haven't heard of a lot! In the nursing home, so many elderly people are speculating in stocks. Some caregivers are also speculating. Of course, everyone is a leek!"

"But there's an elderly woman who's doing really well in the stock market. She said she's earned enough to buy herself an air conditioner. I don't have that kind of talent, I can only make a small profit. Mr. Zhang, if anything happens, we must notify each other. No matter what, our relationship is still as close as ever!"

Zhang Jing said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. If there's any news, let's keep each other updated. What stocks are you interested in? Could you please step down and share some information so I can get some advice?" The dean said, "Director Zhang, my stocks are unreliable. I can't make any money! I'm relying on you to pull them out. You need to be more capable!"

Zhang Jing discovered that her stock trading had spread far and wide. It turned out that stock traders were all waiting for others to save them. She was the same, hoping others would help her. Everyone on this road was alone!
