Chapter 15 Camping Trip
At nightfall.

Hormones permeated the campus.

No matter what kind of university it is, once night falls, you're bound to see couples kissing openly in places like under the dormitories, on the playground steps, or on lakeside benches, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is no exception; every now and then, couples can be seen hugging and cuddling, exchanging information about the bacteria in their mouths.

Humans are animals, and with spring here, it's understandable that hormones are surging and overflowing. But what puzzles him is why couples can "communicate" in a place like the cafeteria.

He couldn't understand it, and he stopped thinking about it.

Back in the boys' dormitory building, before even reaching the door of room 308, Zhang Yang heard hurried conversations coming from his own room.

"Change tanks! Change tanks! I can't take it anymore!"

"knight!"

"Death Knight, get in there!"

"Right now!"

"Healers, use group heals! Don't be stingy with your skills. Try to keep the Death Knight alive. Once the main tank's health is restored to 70%, use taunt to pull aggro from the boss and switch the Death Knight out!"

"understand!"

"They're weakened, let's go for it!"

Zhang Yang opened the dormitory door and was greeted by three roommates, shirtless, frantically typing on their keyboards and mice.

The game they were playing was called "World of Warcraft," which is currently the most popular online game; almost everyone in internet cafes plays WoW.

It is precisely because of the global popularity of World of Warcraft that various investors have begun to pay attention to the game market and explore its potential.

Compared to the Western fantasy style of World of Warcraft, Zhang Yang prefers to play Chinese-style multiplayer role-playing games, such as "Zhengtu" and "Legend".

But that's all in the past. Compared to the virtual world of games, he now prefers the glitz and glamour of reality.

While his roommate was playing games, Zhang Yang took a shower, washed his clothes, and hung them on the rope above the balcony.

After doing all this, the three roommates had finished the game dungeon.

Seeing Zhang Yang walk out from the balcony, Chen Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Holy crap, dorm leader, when did you get back?"

"When you're doing dungeons."

Zhang Yang replied.

"The dorm leader is back?" Xu Jiafeng glanced to the side and, after seeing that Zhang Yang had indeed returned, said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, and we're planning to go camping. Dorm leader, are you coming?"

Camping?

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and asked, "The camping equipment and food need to be prepared a few days in advance, right? Have you all got them ready?"

"I can get the camping gear from home, and as for the food, I can buy it tomorrow," Wang Liu said from the side.

His family lives in Shanghai, specifically in Lujiazui, a prime location where land is incredibly valuable. He is a true second-generation rich kid.

"Our dorm is missing you, dorm leader."

Chen Chuan echoed in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll risk my life to accompany you," Zhang Yang said with a faint smile.

He originally planned to take advantage of his day off to reorganize the collected data, especially the ST stock sector.

In the A-share market, ST stocks are commonly known as "carrying a hat". Stocks with a hat often face the risk of delisting, so their daily price fluctuation is limited to 5%, and there will be risk warnings when purchasing them.

Anyone who has bought ST stocks knows that its risks and returns are no worse than those of buying stocks that hit the daily limit.

Once the delisting warning is lifted, there could be a dozen or twenty consecutive limit-up days, doubling your profits.

However, if a stock is forcibly delisted, there is no need to worry about it disappearing. Instead, it will be transferred to the "Securities Company Share Transfer System" for continued trading, commonly known as the Third Board trading platform.

Once a stock is delisted and transferred to the Third Board trading platform, its value will be immediately reduced, potentially by 70% or even more.

Some investors also like to buy stocks listed on the Third Board because if these stocks are relisted, the inflated price will return to its original level, often resulting in at least a 100% unrealized profit.

Seeing that Zhang Yang agreed to go camping together, Chen Chuan immediately handed him a cigarette and said, "Dormitory leader, I want to ask you for a favor."

"what's up?"

Zhang Yang took it without hesitation.

"I mean, could you ask a couple of girls out with you? Otherwise, Luohan Bureau is too lonely," Chen Chuan said, revealing his purpose.

"Yeah, dorm leader, you need to ask a few girls out for the brothers. After all, everyone in the surrounding area knows you have hundreds of girls on your QQ list," Wang Liu chimed in. "Wait a minute, if Chuanzi wants to ask girls out, it's because he's single. Liuzi, didn't you just find someone?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Don't even mention it. That woman wanted me to give her a diamond necklace worth 6999 yuan before she would commit to a relationship with me. I don't like materialistic women," Wang Liu said, waving his hand.

"He wants to get something for free."

Chen Chuan summarized succinctly.

However, Wang Liu got anxious and quickly retorted, "What do you mean by 'getting something for nothing'? I just want the spark of love. Can love mixed with material conditions still be called love?"

"He wants to get something for free."

Chen Chuan repeated the sentence.

Wang Liu: "Damn it! Chuanzi, can't you say something else?!"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and then rephrased it: "He wants to freeload."

"..."

Wang Liu fell completely silent.

Does he want to get something for free?
Not really.

His family is not short of money at all; his parents are both successful businessmen, and he even drove a BMW 3 Series to university.

He was simply annoyed by the behavior of asking for gifts as soon as they started talking, which made him feel that it was a transaction.

……

As Zhang Yang wished, he posted a status update on his QQ space.

In 2009, WeChat was still under development, and young people who wanted to share their lives would generally choose QQ Space or Weibo.

[Anyone want to come camping and have a picnic?]
The post had barely been published when someone started commenting.

[07 Statistics - Chen Yong]: Brother Yang, am I any good? I make money incredibly fast, and I know 108 ways to barbecue in Zibo.

[05 Finance - Nie Xiaoqin]: I'd like to come here. Where should we go for a picnic?

[07 Accounting - Yu Hansi]: Are you still hiring? I can!
Comments flooded in rapidly, leaving Zhang Yang feeling dizzy.

Since he clearly recognized that connections are a resource during his freshman year of college, he has never refused to add friends.

Over his four years of university, he had two to three thousand QQ friends.

And on the other side.

Investment Studies, Room 201 (Female Dormitory)

"Oh my god!" Xu Zhiruo exclaimed, reading out the message on the screen: "Zhang Yang posted an update asking if anyone wanted to go camping. Isn't that perfect? ​​We need to go out for a spring outing tomorrow too."

"What a coincidence?"

He Jing was somewhat surprised.

April is already the last month of cherry blossom season. If you miss April, you'll have to wait until next year to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

That's why the four people in dormitory 201 have already made plans to go out for a spring outing to see the cherry blossoms on Saturday.

"Stop talking, just ask them out. It'll be a good opportunity for a dorm social event!" Lan Sisi had already popped up a chat window for Zhang Yang, prioritizing efficiency.

Wei Yunshi: "I've sent a message."

Xu Zhiruo: "I sent it too."

Upon receiving the message, Zhang Yang naturally chose familiar faces and selected eight girls from dormitories 201 and 209 to go camping together.

When Xu Jiafeng learned that Xu Zhiruo was coming, he became excited and started rummaging through his clothes, taking out bottles and jars from the closet.

For a guy, hairspray is something he can do without, but not without.

Because in relatively formal occasions, hairspray can keep your hair upright and avoid the embarrassment of having to constantly style it.

However, Zhang Yang had no idea that Wang Xingbang was currently reviewing his profile content one by one.

Despite his age, Wang Xingbang has his own QQ account, though he rarely logs in. He usually informs the class committee via email, and then the committee relays the message to others.

But he didn't know until he looked at it that he would frown and say, "Macroeconomic research reports, microeconomic research reports, sector research reports, does Zhang Yang intend to develop into a financial analyst?"
