Chapter 19: A Pact with Aunt Song Qian!
“Aunt Song, I’ve finished. Please check it,” Su Bai announced confidently.
“Finished? All of it?” Song Qian asked, incredulous. She accepted the test paper and began to review it carefully.
The paper was neatly written, the handwriting meticulous and pleasing. Were it a humanities exam, such careful penmanship might have earned extra marks. However, for a science paper, everything was hinged on correct answers.
Without delay, Song Qian began marking, her familiarity with the material evident. Within ten minutes, she had finished.
She stared at the bright red perfect score in disbelief. She had expected Su Bai to perform modestly—perhaps mediocre at best. But this...
“Well, Aunt Song, about our little agreement—isn’t it time to honour it?” Su Bai grinned eagerly, already plotting how to utilise her stock market account.
Sighing, Song Qian relented. “Fine, you can use my account. There’s a small amount in there—use that to test the waters, but promise me not to add any more money.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Su Bai assured her.
She handed over the account details just as Qiao Yingzi burst out of her room. Despite the soundproofing, she had overheard the wager.
To her, even if Su Bai lost all the money, it wasn’t catastrophic—it amounted to a year’s rental income. She was willing to take the risk if it would encourage him to focus on his studies.
If it were Yingzi who had asked for the account, Song Qian would have refused outright. But for Su Bai, she felt a vague sense of indebtedness.
Unaware of her sentiments, Su Bai was simply thrilled to have secured the account. He decided that the stock market’s closure over the weekend was a blessing—it gave him time to strategise.
“System, activate the Buffett Experience Card,” he commanded.
Immediately, his mind flooded with comprehensive knowledge of the stock market. Armed with this expertise, Su Bai embarked on his journey to master the market. He vowed not to disappoint Song Qian—he intended to make her money grow.
