Chapter 128: Fond of Dressing You Up

The eldest sister finally understood why Chai Jin had no interest in being a kept man. With such immense wealth of his own and such a beautiful girlfriend, why would he ever go looking for trouble elsewhere? Although the three of them had not been working at the factory for long, the eldest sister had treated them very well, so they sat and chatted with her for a long time.

That afternoon, the sister returned to the factory and could not help but share the truth about Chai Jin with everyone. This caused quite a stir. Previously, they had felt that Chai Jin was not good enough for the young lady, but now? Everything was different. That was the magic of money—it was enough to completely change how one person viewed another.

Later, the gossip reached Chen Ni. She called Chai Jin, feeling curious and seeking confirmation, but Chai Jin did not admit to it, merely saying that he, too, was just working for a boss. Chen Ni had almost no one she could truly talk to, so every time she spoke with Chai Jin on the phone, they would talk for a long time. They spent nearly half an hour on the call.

Wang Xiaoli was scheduled to return home in two days, and Chai Jin had originally planned to take her out today to buy some clothes. After all, Yuanli County was a small place where the styles were quite outdated. He also intended to buy her a "Big Brother" mobile phone to carry around.

However, the chaos outside had not yet subsided. Throughout the afternoon, Shenzhen remained in a state of extreme turmoil. The city held various meetings and proposed emergency plans, all understanding that they had to quell the investors' anger as quickly as possible; otherwise, the situation could escalate into a massive social crisis, especially with many unscrupulous Western media outlets watching closely.

The urgent day passed in this manner. By evening, the primary leaders of the municipal government came out to speak, putting forward several plans: first, to strictly investigate those who used back-door channels, with zero tolerance for anyone caught, and to establish an investigation team and a public complaint hotline; second, to issue an additional 500,000 subscription certificates; and third...

Following these decisive and bold measures, the crowds gathered on the streets began to disperse. Once the tide receded, the bottom-feeders were left stranded. It was later estimated that of the people involved in the "810 Incident," only a few thousand were truly disgruntled investors; the rest were merely people taking advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble.

Without the cover of the investors' genuine anger, none of those troublemakers could escape. Throughout that night, in Shenzhen—the first experimental field for China's reforms—the sound of police sirens never ceased.

Shenzhen's subscription certificates were like a label for an era and a turning point for the stock market. After this, the higher-ups in charge of China's stock market finally moved past the stage of "feeling for stones to cross the river," and the regulatory system would gradually improve. Opportunities to make a fortune simply by holding subscription certificates would never appear in China again. Chai Jin, having been reborn, had perfectly caught these two trends and become the biggest winner.

After a night of chaos, Shenzhen greeted the morning sun of August 11th, and the city returned to its passionate, upward-moving self. Shopkeepers along the streets were clearing away broken glass and trash from their storefronts.

Chai Jin spent his morning drinking tea. Around ten o'clock, he took Wang Xiaoli and the others out. First, he bought several mobile phones—one for his father, one for his sister, and one for Wang Xiaoli. After that, he took Wang Xiaoli to the shopping mall. He felt as if he had become obsessed; dressing Wang Xiaoli had turned into a unique hobby. He boldly helped her mix and match outfits in the mall.

However, Wang Xiaoli was very traditional and could not adapt to Chai Jin's 2020 aesthetic. For instance, he styled her in stirrup leggings, classic athletic sneakers, and socks worn over the leggings, paired with a very loose top. It truly highlighted Wang Xiaoli’s figure and the pure, natural beauty she possessed, but she couldn't bring herself to like it and didn't even dare to stand up straight.

Wang Xiaoli became his model until past eight in the evening. Chai Xiaoshan was exhausted and went to sleep first. Wang Xiaoli took a bath and then sat down beside Chai Jin. The moon hung in the sky, and the atmosphere felt somewhat heavy.

After a long while, Chai Jin looked at her and asked, "Are you tired?"

Wang Xiaoli had become somewhat accustomed to her role by Chai Jin's side. A beautiful smile appeared on her small, oval face, revealing neat, white teeth. Pure as a celestial maiden descended to earth, she nodded and said, "I'm tired, but I don't feel tired."

"Xiaojin, you should really find someone to help you cook. I see you guys always buy fast food when you come home; you know that's not healthy, right?"

Though he was worth over a hundred million, aside from Old Huang, the old gambler, none of them had really paid much attention to the mundane details of daily life. This was the way young people should be in their most passionate years.

Chai Jin hummed in acknowledgement, looked at her long legs, and thought for a moment before saying, "Forget it, when you go back, just try to wear shorts when you go out. Or put a skirt that goes past your knees over the shorts."

Wang Xiaoli complained, "Then why did you buy so many shorts for me? I told you not to buy so many. It's so embarrassing; the pants are so short they
