While Qin Shiqing was organizing comics, Su Zelin was already on the road riding a bicycle.

He had important business today.

It's time to sell Shenghai Mei Lin.

Su Zelin remembered that this stock could surge for a month and a few days, bought in mid-July, started rising in late July, and now it was already late August, more than a full month.

It should be able to rise for another few days before reaching the peak, but to be safe, it's better to sell early and pocket the profits.

First, he went to Lu Haoran's house. He was used to calling his best buddy to go to the Internet cafe together, having company made things less boring.

The cutie's house didn't have a landline installed, so he could only go directly to the door.

"Haoran!"

Downstairs from the honest guy's place, Su Zelin shouted at the top of his lungs.

After a few seconds, a head popped out from the second-floor window, it was Lu Haoran.

"Let's go, hit the streets!"

This was code between Su Zelin and his best buddy.

There was no way they were going shopping, delinquents had no such leisure.

But he couldn't let Lu Haoran's parents know he and Su Zelin were going online.

Although both of Lu's parents probably weren't home; they had a stall at the market and usually had to be there during the day.

Still, to be safe, it's better to use code.

"Alright!"

Lu Haoran was bored himself, so he ran downstairs, got on his bicycle, and went with Su Zelin.

Same old place, New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the cute female attendant's turn to work today, which was a pity; otherwise, Su Zelin was planning to flirt a little.

After setting up the computer and downloading stock software, it was time for business.

At this point, Shenghai Mei Lin's stock price had almost quadrupled, the net profit nearly tripled, and Su Zelin's tens of thousands had turned into over a hundred thousand. Including the five thousand yuan high school exam top scorer bonus, which had been invested for ten days, he had truly made a windfall.

Without hesitation, Su Zelin sold, roughly calculated, after deducting fees, he had more than 160,000 in principal and interest!

Tens of thousands in this era was big money, enough to buy a decently located house in Jianglan; small villas were just a bit more.

So one could say Su Zelin, who could pull out a hundred thousand in cash, was indeed a big shot.

"Haha, Haoran, I'm rich!"

Su Zelin draped his arm over the honest guy's shoulder, in a great mood.

"Zelin, aren't you just making money in a game? What's with the getting rich talk!"

Lu Haoran saw him playing that "wealth game" again and was not impressed, just chalked it up to his buddy getting obsessed with games, unable to distinguish between online and reality.

"Don't worry about it, I'll treat you to a seafood feast later!"

Su Zelin hummed a tune and didn't bother explaining further.

"Forget it, Zelin, even though you got a lot of bonus from the English top scorer award, you can't just spend it recklessly!"

Lu Haoran advised, thinking his buddy was being way too extravagant.

"No worries, a seafood meal won't cost much. The money I made this month is enough for us to eat seafood for several years!"

Su Zelin patted his chest, really starting to act a bit like a big shot, just missing a big gold chain around his neck.

Money in this era was quite valuable; even if the two of them devoured big lobsters, it wouldn't cost more than a few hundred.

However, Lu Haoran didn't believe him because his buddy liked to boast; he just listened but didn't take it seriously.

The morning passed quickly. When it was time to leave, Su Zelin pulled Qin Haoran down the stairs: "I'm hungry, let's get something to eat!"

"Zelin, aren't you going home?"

Lu Haoran asked curiously. He knew that his buddy's mom had set a rule: he could only be out for four hours a day, and the time was almost up.

"The restriction has been lifted. From today, I, Su, can play as I please, my mom has no say!"

Su Zelin said boldly.

His mom agreed not to meddle as long as he could earn 100,000 before school started.

Now that he had the money, the delinquent naturally felt emboldened.

Lu Haoran, unaware of the bet between mother and son, muttered to himself, hoping Zelin wouldn't go home and get beaten!

Leaving the Internet cafe, he took his buddy on a bike ride to a well-known local seafood street stand.

Seeing he was serious, Lu Haoran quickly said: "Zelin, let's just not have seafood; it's too expensive. How about a bowl of noodles instead?"

"Stop nagging, Haoran, I'm happy today, and I'll show you something impressive!"

Without further ado, Su Zelin dragged the cutie into the shop.

"Boss, do you have Boston lobster?"

Upon entering, Su Zelin shouted.

Actually, Australian lobsters taste better, their meat is firmer, but they're usually only a few grams. Boston lobsters look more impressive; the biggest can grow up to 20 kilograms!

Since Su Zelin was here to show his buddy something impressive, he had to choose Boston lobster, for the more stunning visual effect.

"You guys want to eat lobster?"

The stand owner's face showed a hint of disbelief while looking them over, his face clearly expressing doubt.

Even Boston lobsters, cheaper than Australian ones, cost dozens per pound, slightly larger ones cost over a hundred. Customers who know their way around are usually wealthy businessmen or city leaders, but these two smelled of students; could they really afford it?

Su Zelin didn't waste words, directly slapped two red bills on the counter, and said with financial boldness: "Do you have any five pounds or larger? If you do, I can pay more!"

The stand owner wiped his sweat, thinking this young lad wasn't playing by the rules, using Chairman Mao bills to intimidate right off the bat.

"Sorry, none over five pounds, at most about four pounds!"

He immediately changed his tone, with a grin on his face.

"Tch, this shop doesn't have anything good!"

Su Zelin said, sounding like an old man.

Being criticized by a wet-behind-the-ears high school student, the street vendor shopkeeper was at a loss between tears and laughter.
