Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1420 is finally here! The Golden Age! (Day 1 of Sunday-Saturday, please vote with monthly tickets!)

"This sister-in-law..."

The young woman, Hu Xingzi, looked at him with a knowing look mixed with a hint of disdain.

She suggested cooking Shanghai cuisine for He Chen to try, hoping to deepen their rapport, because she was from Shanghai and He Chen had also studied there, so they had a foundation of affection.

My sister-in-law, a country bumpkin from the Central Plains, also joined in the fun; she really doesn't know what she's doing.

He Chen had never been to the Central Plains.

Furthermore, what is her appearance and social class, and what is the appearance and social class of her sister-in-law?

A stunningly beautiful woman from Shanghai.

At best, someone from the Central Plains could be considered a "fresh and innocent" type.

Can it be the same?

It's not that she really wants anything; it's not like it's just a meal.

She just didn't want the Ding sisters to steal the spotlight, especially not to show off to He Chen at her house and try to curry favor with him.

She had clearly seen the wary and hostile looks in the Ding sisters' eyes, and this was a perfect opportunity to quietly challenge them.

Losing doesn't matter, but winning is a different story.

Sure enough, her little scheme went unnoticed in the Kang family, who were all eager to curry favor with He Chen and make a fortune.

This also benefited the sister-in-law, who also had her own ulterior motives.

Soon, thanks to the concerted efforts of the Kang family, He Chen was invited to visit a few days later.

"Uncle Kang, Aunt Kang, you're too kind." He Chen looked at the long table laden with dishes and knew what was going on.

After all, the Kang family's son and daughter-in-law were looking at him with excessive fervor.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Kang family began to introduce the dishes on the table, which would be the "knock-on table" later.

After the young woman Hu Xingzi and the Ding sisters introduced the dishes they had made, they couldn't help but follow up with a description of Shanghai cuisine, while also mentioning her sister-in-law's Central Plains cuisine in passing.

In her opinion, her sister-in-law was simply overestimating herself.

Not only is she unsophisticated, but the cuisine of the Central Plains has always been disliked by many. Nobody is used to it. If it's her turn to cook, she would rather spend her own money to eat out than eat at home.

But to her surprise, He Chen glanced at the Shanghai dishes she had carefully prepared and then smiled at Kang's eldest sister-in-law, saying, "Eldest sister-in-law, are you from the Central Plains? The Central Plains is great; in ancient times, it was the true center!"
The ancient capital of thirteen dynasties and eight dynasties!
Even now, it remains a major grain-producing province, providing a solid foundation for the people's food self-sufficiency and making the greatest contribution and sacrifice to the whole country.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to develop.

"He Chen, what you said is very insightful!" Kang's third son, who was the section chief, praised.

It wasn't that he genuinely agreed with those words.

While the general principle is correct, we are all ordinary citizens who only care about whether someone is rich or poor.

Moreover, having money comes first; only having money now constitutes true wealth.

They don't recognize any of the others.

As for what you're going to give... if you're going to give, then give for a lifetime.

Just like someone who can endure hardship, they'll endure hardship for a lifetime.

But as a section chief, he was adept at these kinds of polite remarks. Seeing that everyone was bewildered by He Chen's sudden praise of his sister-in-law's hometown and didn't know how to respond, he took the initiative to smooth things over.

This cannot be blamed on the second son of the Kang family.

I have always looked down on my sister-in-law's background, and I was completely unprepared for this. Even if I managed to change my mind, I really didn't know how to praise her.

That's putting them in a really difficult position.

"I never knew our hometown was so amazing!" Kang's eldest sister-in-law was also surprised and delighted.

She knew that there were several ancient capitals in her hometown, and people often heard about people digging up antiques in her hometown.

But her hometown was undeniably poor. She had experienced various forms of discrimination and even humiliation, which angered her, but also left her with a sense of inferiority. She felt that her hometown was poor because it lacked ability, while the people here were rich because they were capable.

But now, after listening to He Chen's words, it seems that it's not entirely about whether he has the ability or not, but also about other things.

Moreover, they were the ones who suffered losses and made sacrifices to benefit everyone, including those who discriminated against or even humiliated her.

This made her initial grievances and anger even stronger.

So, we've made contributions for you, and instead of being grateful, you're bullying us like this? Is that fair?

"He Chen, you have a brilliant idea! With such a good eye, no wonder you can make a fortune in the stock market!" The second son of the Kang family also gave a thumbs up in praise, and then laid the groundwork for the main event of today's dinner party.

Fortunately, he stopped there and warmly invited He Chen to eat and drink first.

In the dining culture, it's customary to only discuss important matters after a few rounds of drinks and several dishes.

Since He Chen doesn't drink alcohol, we can only let him drink a few more sips of the delicious soup.

After eating and drinking for a while, and feeling that it was about time, the fourth son of the Kang family, under the wink of the second son of the Kang family, brought up the old topic again.

"He Chen, I was scared by your joke last time..."

After the fourth son started off in a joking tone, the Kang family's sons and daughters-in-law joined in, showering him with compliments.

Most people would have agreed long ago, too embarrassed to refuse.

Although He Chen didn't care about saving face, he still politely declined: "Stock trading is really hard to say."

Let's not even talk about dark horse stocks.

Where do so many dark horse stocks come from?

Even Warren Buffett, the "Oracle of Omaha," only emphasizes long-term value investing; he doesn't talk about short-term dark horse stocks.

Therefore, I won't go into recommending stocks anymore.

I'm actually better at clearing out my inventory and leaving.

"What do you mean by 'good at clearing out inventory and leaving'?" The Kang family was very disappointed, and they didn't understand He Chen's explanation. The fourth son of the Kang family couldn't help but tease, "He Chen, when you say 'clearing out inventory and leaving,' you don't mean the kind of clearing out inventory and leaving that you mentioned before, like jumping off a building in front of your house, do you?"

"You brat, don't talk nonsense!" Old Master Kang scolded.

"That's not it," He Chen said with a smile. "If you really trust me, you can show me the stocks you're trading. If there are stocks with clear industry jinxes, I can remind you to quickly liquidate those stocks to avoid huge losses when they crash."

Seeing the Kang family's eyes light up again, he reminded them, "I can only speak about areas I'm familiar with. If you're buying something I'm not familiar with, then there's nothing I can do."

"Of course!"

"This is enough!"

"Being able to avoid risks greatly increases the chances of making a fortune in the stock market."

"He Sheng, these are my stock holdings, can you take a look at them for me?"

The second son of the Kang family immediately changed his way of addressing people, took out his phone and showed He Chen his stock holdings, asking He Chen to help him screen for bad stocks.

"I heard Brother Zong is in the hardware business, and the stocks he bought are all related," He Chen said, praising as he looked at the portfolio. "It's rare to find someone who does what they know well!"

"I've been in this industry for so many years, I'm sure I have some experience and connections. If I don't buy stocks in this industry, am I supposed to just blindly try my luck?" The second son of the Kang family said with some pride, "Spending a little money on lottery tickets is fine, but when it comes to buying stocks with real money, you have to do your own research."

"Kang Sheng, is there a problem with the stocks my husband bought?" Kang's second daughter-in-law was not in the same good mood as her husband and looked at He Chen nervously.

If it were really as good as my husband says, it would have been profitable long ago.

But the truth is it was just a game.

Even if you don't make a big profit, just not losing a big profit is a win.

“There really is one.” He Chen nodded, pointing to a stock above.

"ABA?" The second son of the Kang family immediately peeked out, then looked astonished: "How could this be? Their family just announced a new material that will revolutionize the entire industry, the Golden Age, and their stock has gone crazy."
