Under Chu Ruoxue's suspicious gaze, Ethan Ye forced himself to appear calm.
"President Chu, please rest assured. What happened earlier was just an accident. This time, there won't be any problems."
"Is that so?"
Ethan Ye raised his hand solemnly."Absolutely! Even though we lost fifty percent earlier, I'll earn it all back for you very quickly! This amount of money is nothing to me!"
At that moment, the gold market suddenly plunged.
In the blink of an eye, it dropped by one percent.
A paper loss of twenty percent.
Chu Ruoxue lost another ten million yuan.
Ethan Ye froze.Chu Ruoxue went silent.
This time, Ethan Ye was genuinely panicking.
Since the day he started trading gold, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
No matter what direction he chose, the market moved against him—violently and relentlessly.
"What's going on? Why is it falling? This is clearly positive news! The market should be bullish on gold! This completely defies logic!"
Before he could finish his thought, gold plunged again—another full percentage point.
Chu Ruoxue's account was reduced to just ten million yuan.
Ethan Ye stood there, speechless.
Clutching her chest, Chu Ruoxue had never experienced such an emotional rollercoaster.
Her money was disappearing faster than water flowing down a drain.
If she wasn't careful, forty million yuan would vanish without a trace.
The entire process lasted less than a few minutes.
The speed of losing money was faster than even her worst real-estate investments.
Ethan Ye said nervously,"President Chu, please listen to me. This isn't how it's supposed to be—"
"Enough!" Chu Ruoxue snapped."Stop talking nonsense and close the positions immediately!"
"O-Okay!"
Ethan Ye hurriedly grabbed the mouse and moved to close the trade.
But before he could click—
Gold plunged again.
The account was instantly wiped out.
Zero balance.
There was nothing left to close.
Ethan Ye slowly raised his head and met Chu Ruoxue's beautiful eyes—now filled with fury.
Fifty million yuan.
Gone.
Not a single cent remained.
Her private savings had evaporated in the time it took to drink a cup of coffee.
Chu Ruoxue was so angry she felt like killing someone.
Ethan Ye stammered,"President Chu, please listen to my explanation—just let me explain—"
"That won't be necessary, Mr. Ye."
Chu Ruoxue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
"I've already seen your abilities. Truly astonishing. I've never seen money disappear this fast in my life."
She sneered coldly.
"Even if I burned fifty million yuan, it would last a whole night. But with you? In less than a coffee break, it was all gone. Impressive. Very impressive."
Ethan Ye lowered his head."I… I can compensate you for the money."
"No need."
Chu Ruoxue steadied herself.
"Thank you for informing me about the Jiangnan land. As for the fifty million, consider it payment for that information. You don't need to compensate me."
She turned away.
"I'm in a bad mood right now. Please leave."
"President Chu, this isn't my normal performance—"
Before he could finish, the secretary stepped forward politely.
"Mr. Ye, please don't make things difficult for us."
In the end, Ethan Ye was escorted out of Licheng Group.
He couldn't understand it.
When trading on his own account, he never lost.Every trade was profitable.
So why was it different here?
He had completely embarrassed himself in front of his goddess.
Unable to accept it, he rushed back to Lin Investment Company.
He opened his own capital account.
Went all-in.
Long positions.
Almost instantly, gold skyrocketed.
"Wow! Mr. Ye is incredible—he got it right again!"
"Such precise judgment!"
"This trade alone earned us several billion!"
Ethan Ye's expression darkened.
He immediately closed the position and went all-in again—this time short.
Moments later, gold began to fall.
"Gold is dropping! Mr. Ye hit the mark again!"
"So accurate! Unbelievable!"
"Another few million in profits!"
Still unconvinced, Ethan Ye reversed again.
Gold surged.
"Rising again! Mr. Ye predicted it perfectly!"
"Making money with every move!"
"Who else can compare to Mr. Ye?"
Why does it work here… but not there?
Ethan Ye's heart was filled with fury as he continued trading frantically.
Trade after trade.
Not a single mistake.
Every move made money.
The trading room erupted with admiration.
"I admire Mr. Ye the most!"
"Such masterful control!"
"He earned us another hundred million today!"
"Our bonuses will double again!"
"Haha! Boss Alex Lin will be thrilled!"
Ethan Ye clenched his fists.
Something was very, very wrong.
