The Landlady and The Amnesiac

Actually, when Zhou Jianguo discovered his unique insight into stock trading, he had considered inviting Luo Bei to join him. However, he was not sure before. What if he was just lucky and happened to guess correctly? After all, Zhou Jianguo didn’t want to cause trouble. He wasn’t that interested in the stock market, but when he heard Luo Bei talking about buying a car, he had an idea.

He said that if she believed in him, he could help her.

If someone else had said this, Luo Bei would have just listened and ignored it. But now it was Zhou Jianguo who was speaking to her, and she almost believed him without hesitation.

Luo Bei nodded, “I trust you.”

Zhou Jianguo signaled her to move forward and he followed. The two of them kept a safe distance, and he slowly said, “I’ve been watching some stocks these past few days. If you believe in me, we can each invest ten thousand and try it out. If nothing unexpected happens, we might be able to earn enough to buy a car soon.”

Is he talking about mythology…?

Luo Bei didn’t really believe in stocks. She even saw it as a beast like a flood. There was a rich man’s son in the village who invested all his family’s savings in the stock market and ended up losing everything during the most volatile year in the stock market. He couldn’t bear the blow and tried to commit suicide but failed. Now he was basically a useless person.

In the eyes of an ordinary person like her, playing stocks was no different from gambling.

“Are you saying we’re going to invest in stocks?” asked Luo Bei, surprised.

Buying a car with stock market investments? It sounds like a fantasy!

Zhou Jianguo nodded calmly, “It depends on whether you trust me or not. But when it comes to stock trading, it’s best to stop while you’re ahead and not be too greedy. We’ll stop once we’ve made around 100,000 yuan, which is just enough to buy a car for deliveries or for your commute to work if we don’t need it.”

Luo Bei always thought she lacked foresight, but she believed she had one major advantage: she was good at judging people.

The reason why she started doing business with Zhou Jianguo was because she believed he had the ability. Of course, his charisma and persuasive skills were also important factors that convinced Luo Bei.

It seemed that everything that was once unbelievable to her became reasonable when Zhou Jianguo said it.

Ultimately, this was a person’s ability and charm. At least Luo Bei couldn’t do it, nor could anyone else around her.

Luo Bei remained silent for a moment before responding, “Okay.”

She didn’t ask if it was a surefire way to make money or any other questions, she just agreed without hesitation. Zhou Jianguo, on the other hand, was a little taken aback. He stopped walking and looked at Luo Bei with a puzzled expression, “Do you really trust me that much?”

Luo Bei nodded a little embarrassedly, “I don’t know why, I just think you’re really capable, so I believe in you.”

Although Zhou Jianguo himself was very confident, he couldn’t accept Luo Bei’s easy belief in him, whether it was in doing business or in stock trading. He even changed his usual manner and began to educate her with a serious tone, “You trust others too easily, and that’s not good.”

Luo Bei explained, “I’m not someone who easily trusts others, I just trust you more easily.”

This statement…

While feeling inexplicably moved, Zhou Jianguo also felt a heavier burden on his shoulders.

It seemed that he would have to devote more effort to business in the future, and be more cautious in stock trading. He couldn’t let down her trust.
