【Ding! Congratulations, Host. You've significantly altered the plot and gained 100 points as the antagonist.】
Zhou Luo leisurely drove to the finish line, then happily headed home for a good night's sleep.
Early in the morning, Zhou Luo, feeling refreshed, had breakfast while tuning into the morning news.
"Last night, our city successfully cracked a major gun smuggling case. Thanks to the brave pursuit by our police force, we managed to apprehend the criminals without harming any civilians. The masterminds behind the operation remain unknown. We encourage vigilant citizens to report any information. We will continue to follow up on this developing story."
Zhou Luo would have liked to be a vigilant citizen, but unfortunately, he lacked evidence.
Next door, Wang Gebi's life took a turn for the worse. His gun smuggling operation was busted, and he ended up at the police station due to drunk driving, not getting released until the early hours.
Ding ling ling, ding ling ling.
An urgent phone call jolted Wang Gebi awake from his nap.
"Boss, we're in big trouble. Someone is targeting our stock market."
The voice on the other end sounded anxious and fearful.
"What? Hold steady!"
Yuanhe Group, the most significant gain since Wang Gebi's rebirth, couldn't afford any issues.
"It's hard to keep steady. The enemy struck fiercely, fired a shot, and left, but I suspect they'll continue in the stock market tomorrow."
The voice on the other end belonged to the securities department manager, well-versed in the intricacies of the market.
"Alright, I'll personally handle it tomorrow."
The stock market had closed for the day, rendering Wang Gebi's presence at the company meaningless. However, Wang Gebi believed that as long as he was there the next day, he could turn the tide. After all, he excelled in stock market operations during his training, even impressing that particular man.
He had absolute confidence in himself.
Moreover, his bond with that man ran deep. If push came to shove, he wouldn't stand idly by.

Ye Bufan hummed a tune, tapping to the beat.
"How is everything? Are we ready?"
Seeing Ximengsi enter, Ye Bufan stopped humming.
"Everything is in order. Let's have Little Fish make the first move."
Ye Bufan resumed his tune, and Ximengsi exited.

Muhe Group
Xi Nan listened blankly to the just-received news.
"What? What are you saying? Our company got acquired? How is that possible?"
Xi Nan wore an incredulous expression.
As an elite in the securities department, he was at the forefront of the battle. Suddenly, news of a change in leadership reached his ears.
This...
"Due to the recent market attack, our company's funds were significantly drained, making it vulnerable for acquisition."
The head of the securities department looked somewhat embarrassed.
Ultimately, the main reason for the company's acquisition lay with them.
"Well... What about Yuanhe Group? Do we still deal with them?"
One day, a king, another day, a subject.
No one knew if the new boss would engage in such thankless tasks.
"Do it. Why not?"
"The boss has given the order. Inject an additional five hundred billion and ensure Yuanhe Group goes bankrupt."
Though unclear why the new boss also had issues with Yuanhe Group, orders were orders.
But additional funding is always a good thing.
More money makes things easier.
As long as the task is successfully completed, this supervisor can also get a share of the credit.
As for the twists and turns, that's not something a small supervisor like him should worry about.
-------------------------------------
Early the next morning, Wang Gebi arrived at the company early.
Despite having absolute confidence, he needed to first understand the situation.
Two hundred billion in funding, not a small amount.
Compared to the other side, it's not much.
But there is still hope.
"Chief Zhang, do you have hope with this two hundred billion?" Wang Gebi first consulted his subordinates seriously.
Some things naturally need to be left to the professionals.
"Well...boss, I..." Zhang Chief Steward, who was past the age of hot-bloodedness, was unwilling to take on this hot potato.
He had a wife, children, and a warm bed to return to.
If there was a mistake, it wouldn't be enough to compensate with just a few lives.
Wang Gebi scanned the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads.
No one dared to meet his gaze.
Except for one young man.
"Who are you?" Wang Gebi called out.
"My name is Cong Liang, I am confident in stabilizing the stock price."
The young man was full of confidence.
"Cong Liang, don't be impulsive, boss, he is not..." Zhang Chief Steward couldn't bear to watch them mess up.
This Cong Liang had just graduated from college as an intern.
He had no experience at all.
"Alright, no need to say more, it's you. I'll entrust this two hundred billion to you to handle."
Wang Gebi didn't care about much.
Besides, he didn't have high hopes for this young man.
He had a powerful man standing behind him.
----------------------------------
"Achoo."
"Who's thinking about me? Xiao Hei, go check who you're having lunch with tomorrow, make the arrangements in advance, be prepared."
Ba Fei rubbed his nose and said.

Zhou Group
Top floor of the skyscraper, Chairman's office.
"Cong Liang?"
Zhou Luo silently repeated this name.
The protagonist always has supporting characters rising up, he was already used to it.
Clearly, this Cong Liang was the protagonist's right-hand man.
But Zhou Luo didn't pay much attention to him.
A new calf is not afraid of the tiger, he swallowed a plate of beef.
He knew that Cong Liang was just a side dish.
The real main course was the stock market legend Ba Fei.
That man was someone even he, with expertise in the stock market, didn't dare to underestimate.
"Is all the funding ready?"
Zhou Luo sat at his spacious desk, asking the secretary who had just come in.
"Everything is prepared, there is a total of five hundred billion in funds available."
The secretary reported the accounts slowly.
"Very good, you can go now."
Zhou Luo needed some time alone, to prepare himself and snatch the food from that person's mouth.
----------------------------------
The early morning quickly passed by
The stock market officially opened
All three parties focused their attention here.
"Raise the price, raise the price, don't let them push it down."
Cong Liang, although handling such a large task for the first time, was not at all flustered.
Commanding and dispatching, he had the air of a great general.
Wang Gebi looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
