Chapter 20: The Second Surge
At exactly 9:00 a.m., the spring sun bathed the courtyard in a soft golden hue. Ye Tian strolled leisurely along the stone path, hands clasped behind his back, his loose shirt fluttering in the breeze. Plum blossoms danced in the air, and the koi in the pond stirred the clear water with gentle ripples.
The calm of the morning mirrored the steady composure in his heart.
"One day down," he murmured, his gaze distant. "Two more to fortune."
A soft chime rang in his ear.
[System Notification]

Second Trading Day Activated – Real-Time Monitoring in Progress
Ye Tian's lips curled into a slight smile. The results were no surprise—he had chosen the companies carefully, guided by the system and his Divine Eyes.
He opened the system interface, where glowing graphs shimmered in midair. The market data, usually overwhelming to others, now looked like clear patterns to him.
When he activated Insight Mode, dozens of layers overlaid each stock: projected price action, fund movement, market psychology. The system gave him a view that even Wall Street analysts would kill for.
Just then, Qin Yuyan walked in, holding a sleek tablet. Her black business suit outlined her tall figure perfectly.
"Good morning, Mr. Ye." She nodded respectfully.
Ye Tian gestured for her to sit beside the koi pond. "Report."
"All three target stocks have hit their daily limit again," she said with quiet satisfaction. "They opened strong, with momentum from yesterday. Market buzz is building. Current projection for end of day: another 300 million yuan."
Ye Tian nodded. "Let them chase shadows. We'll be counting real money."
Qin Yuyan hesitated, then added, "There's also early speculation online… Some minor fund managers are beginning to suspect a coordinated move."
Ye Tian chuckled. "They're welcome to guess. That's all they'll be doing."
After she left, Ye Tian sat by the pond again, enjoying the sun. As his fingers brushed over the system panel, the Daily Special Section lit up.
Today's special was unexpected.

Ye Tian's pupils shrank slightly.
"Yomson Yipin? That's the ultra-luxury commercial complex near the central financial district… Isn't that where major conglomerates have offices?"
The market value alone was astronomical, and it was always rumored that foreign capital had a hand in controlling it.
Now, it was in his system shop for a fraction of its worth.
"Buying it for 10 million? That's not just a steal… that's looting," he muttered.
He didn't hesitate.

Ye Tian felt his heart stir. This was no ordinary real estate—it was a long-term cash flow juggernaut and a symbol of hidden power.
Suddenly, a flood of new data streamed into the system's finance hub.

Ye Tian raised an eyebrow. These weren't small names.
"Looks like I just became their landlord."
As, he was thinking about it, suddenly he heard sounds of footsteps.
He turned just in time to see his two little nieces, Miaomiao and Xiaoxiao, running toward him. Both had unusually downcast expressions, their eyes shimmering with disappointment.
"Miaomiao, Xiaoxiao? What's wrong?" he asked with concern, crouching down to their level.
Without a word, Miaomiao rushed into his arms, burying her face in his chest. Ye Tian gently lifted her into his embrace, holding her close. Her small arms wrapped around his neck, trembling slightly.
He stroked her back and asked softly, "Tell me, sweetheart, what happened?"
Miaomiao looked up, her big eyes brimming with unshed tears. "Our class was supposed to go on a school trip, but… the school said they don't have enough money. So the trip was canceled. They said they were asking for donations…"
She trailed off, her voice choked with disappointment. Her fingers tightened around his shirt.
Beside them, Xiaoxiao sighed and spoke up on her sister's behalf. "She wanted to ask you to help, but she was too shy. So I said it for her. She really, really wanted to go."
Ye Tian's heart softened. He looked into their hopeful eyes and smiled warmly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can do anything for you two."
Miaomiao blinked, her sadness giving way to joy. "Really, Uncle?"
"Of course," he said, ruffling her soft hair before planting a kiss on her forehead. "I'll talk to your school. You'll go on that trip—no matter what."
A bright grin spread across her face, and her earlier gloom vanished like a bad dream.
"Uncle is the best!" she shouted with delight, giving him a big kiss on the cheek before squirming down from his arms and sprinting away, waving her arms with excitement. "I'm going to tell Teacher! Uncle is going to save our trip!"
Xiaoxiao chuckled and gave Ye Tian a quick hug. "Thanks, Uncle. You're amazing."
He stood there watching them run off, a satisfied smile on his face. "Children are truly the purest joy," he murmured, hands behind his back as he was about to see more details of his building,his phone buzzed. A message from Qin Yuyan.
"Stocks closed at limit-up again. Day 2 total profit: 1.8 billion yuan."
He leaned back against the smooth bark of a garden tree and let the breeze wash over him.
Two days, nearly 2 billion yuan in profit, and now—an 10 billion yuan commercial building in his pocket.
And tomorrow would be the final day of trading.
The world thought Ye Tian was just lucky.
But soon, they would realize—
He was inevitable.
