Chapter 71
“Mr. Han! Mr. Han!”
Han looked up from his meal when he heard someone shouting? A man burst into the trading room. He was one of Han’s traders. The man was waving a paper around while running towards Han.
“Mr. Han!”
Tao Long appeared all of a sudden and stopped the man before he could get closer… He would not let any erratic person get close to his boss! Did this man think he could just talk to Mr. Han like he was anybody!?
“No! Wait! Let me talk to Mr. Han!!”
The man tried to get past Tao Long but he was not going to allow him pass until Han finally stood up.
“Tao Long, let him go. What do you want to tell me that is so important?”
The frantic man ran up to Han and put a paper in his face. It was City C news, the newsletter that circulated around City C every day. Han took the paper from the man and read the headline.
[Ren Corp. issue twenty-five thousand new stocks]
Han’s eyes widened in shock and looked at the man quickly.
“When did this come in!?”
“J-Just this morning. Two hours ago!”
Han turned to his desk and told Rin to get the food away immediately!! He shouted to Tao Long.
“Get every trader back here right now! If a single one of them is still sleeping them drag them here with their bed and put their laptop in their hands!! I want everybody trading now!!”
Han was so busy handing out orders that he didn’t notice the smirk the man that gave him the paper had as he walked away.
How could something like this happen? Ren Corp issuing this many stocks all of a sudden would drown the remaining markets in sales and make them lose millions in stocks!
Han sat down in front of his computer and the screen behind him came to life again.
$510,000,000
The numbers haven’t gone down that much! They only lost forty million. At least they could still salvage their position! But why would Ren Corp suddenly try something so dangerous!? Didn’t they need to pass through a screening process before they were allowed to issue these many stocks!? They couldn’t just wake up and decide it!
But Ren Corp already had many people from the bureau in their pocket, so Han didn’t think it was that strange.
Han began selling and buying and trying to put his company funds back in their rightful position. The people that had gone to sleep started running back into the trading room with pieces of toast in their mouth or coffees in their hands. They moved to their desks and immediately got down to trading.
“Sell any company that falls short of the fiftieth percentile!”
Han began shouting out orders!
“RC inc. isn’t going to recover so just buy all the competitions stocks!! Make sure there are no chances for us to lose the money! Do the same thing for Drairy Co and Grassland!!”
Han shouted out these orders to the traders while also slaving away at his two computers. Rin Woo was completely shocked by how well the team was working together even though they just woke up from the shortest nap they ever had.
What they didn’t know was that Han’s skill [Crowd Control] was now activated and was allowing him to tell the workers what to do while also working on his own trades. He was a one-man machine with every other worker there!
“Mr Han! How about H&C advertisement!!?”
Han closed his eyes and sighed. He couldn’t keep the H&C stocks because there wouldn’t be any substantial growth in the next few days. He already had a plan where he would buy the entire company from Miss Kim like he promise, but he would have to hold his plan for a while longer. Right now he needed to save his own company.
“Sell it!! Sell everything that you don’t see any future growth in and buy the stocks I’m sending to your computers right now! Don’t make us lose money or you will definitely lose your job!!”
This was how the traders saved away for the next few hours at their computers. Every now and then someone would either pass out on their desk to try getting some sleep or leave the room to see if they could rest for a while, but Han was always there. His eyes were red with how long he had been looking at the screen, and Rin Woo and Tao Long were getting worried for his health but he refused to stop!
$600,000,000
$620,000,000
$680,000,000
Before anyone knew it, the third and fourth day passed like this as well and the sudden shift of the market from the news began to slow down. At midnight of the fourth day, Han found himself dozing off in front of his computer. He couldn’t stop now that he was already so close! He could just rest when the seven days were over!! He didn’t need to –
“Han, please stop. Your office workers have all fallen asleep already and you’re the only one left awake. Please rest so they can have their boss tomorrow,”
Han blinked before he looked up in shock to see Rin Woo standing in front of him. She put her hand on his shoulder and he slowly realized that he was not the only one he kept awake all this while. She and Tao Long also haven’t slept through these four days and he was just making things hard for them.
Han nodded and then allowed her to raise him up from his chair. He leaned on her and she guided him into his office to sleep.
He didn’t need to sleep for very long so he just told Tao Long to put his bed in his office for him. He would rest there and sit would be easy for him to reach his trading station if he needed to get back to work quickly. He would be fine after four or five hours of rest.
“Get some rest too. You look like a bus accident happened on your face,”
Rin Woo frowned at Han. Even when he was this tired he could still embarrass her!? She scoffed and turned to walk out but Han grabbed her hand and pulled her down to the bed. He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and she blushed as her face pressed into his chest!
He smelt so good! How is it possible for him to not sleep for four days and he would still smell this good!?
“W-What do you think you think you’re doing!?”
Rin Woo tried to push Han away but he was already dozing off. There was no way she would just sleep like this! Did he want a kick in the balls!?
“Sleep, Rin. For now, let’s just sleep. We can go back to being professional tomorrow,”
Han sounded so tired and drained and Rin Woo realized that he was probably just doing this to relieve stress. She couldn’t deny that sleeping alone would not be as calming for her too. She didn’t like staying alone.
Maybe just for tonight, she could rest without caring about the consequences. Rin Woo wrapped her hand around Han and his hand slipped down to hold her waist.. And in the next moment, they were gone.
