Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

The top ten in Chapter 51 have been revealed.

As Professor Wang Xingbang picked up the printed list, the students in the lecture hall held their breath.

Although they had already discussed in the QQ group who the top ten were, until the very end, who knows if a miracle might happen.

"First place..."

Professor Wang Xingbang drew out the last syllable of his name and said with a smile, "Without a doubt, it's He Jing, with a return of 57.4%."

"Clap clap-"

Applause suddenly erupted in the lecture hall.

Achieving a 57.4% return in 45 days, including 33 trading days, has broken the school's historical record for Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, compliments were showered upon He Jing.

"Sister Jing is amazing! Please mentor me!"

"This is what a genius trader is like. If he can maintain this level of performance, he might be able to go abroad and even join a top international institution!"

"I really want to be Miss He Jing's dog! Too bad she doesn't even look at me."

"If Sister Jing goes to Huaxin Securities, don't forget about us!"

Despite being watched by hundreds of eyes, He Jing showed no stage fright, nodding and smiling in response to the compliments, displaying her poise and grace.

The senior students standing on both sides of the podium witnessed this scene, and He Jing's rating in their eyes continued to rise.

As we all know, internal referrals are a double-edged sword, as they employ a system of collective responsibility.

If you push it well, you'll get a promotion and a raise.

However, if someone uses this channel to bring in a person with poor abilities, the recommender will be criticized and have their year-end bonus deducted at best, or even dismissed along with the person they recommended at worst.

As the applause subsided slightly, Professor Wang Xingbang on the podium gestured for silence, then fixed his gaze on He Jing in the middle of the second row, his expression full of admiration:

"He Jing is not only the top student in the investment major at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, but also the top student at other finance and economics universities such as Central University of Finance and Economics and Southwestern University of Finance and Economics!"

"Wow!"

"Wow—"

The classroom erupted in gasps and uproar.

The students present, including the senior students who came back to recruit, did not expect that Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and Central University of Finance and Economics would actually lose in this year's mock exam.

It's worth noting that in previous "Simulated Trading Competitions," Tsinghua University, Peking University, Central University of Finance and Economics, and Southwestern University of Finance and Economics basically monopolized the top spot. It is precisely because of generations of outstanding graduates that the financial sector has gradually formed a barrier between universities.

The barriers between academic institutions are not limited to the financial sector; lawyers and accountants also have their own academic circles.

The most well-known to the outside world are the five courts and four departments in the legal profession, and the red circle law firms.

If you graduate from one of the "Five Institutes and Four Departments" of law, you basically won't have to worry about not having cases to work on, and you can also enter a top-tier law firm and enjoy top-notch resources.

But if you don't graduate from one of the top five colleges or four departments, it's no exaggeration to say that you'll have to rely on a side job to make a living.

Non-red circle lawyers and red circle lawyers are like the poor and the rich; although they are both human, their living conditions are worlds apart.

He Jing has now surpassed other finance and economics college students to win first place in the "Huaxin Simulated Trading Competition". If the financial circle forms a similar circle to the "Five Institutes and Four Departments" in the future, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics may not be without a place.

The praise from her classmates and the affirmation from her teachers did not make He Jing lose her way or become arrogant. On the contrary, she understood that there are always people more capable than herself. Her gaze inadvertently glanced at Zhang Yang, who was chatting with his roommate on the left side of the second row against the wall.

If Zhang Yang hadn't been keeping her in check, her tail would probably be wagging in the air right now.

After a round of contact, He Jing truly admired Zhang Yang's trading strategy. It was steady and progressive, combining offense and defense. The key was that he not only traded live but also managed Lai Weijie's and Xu Zhiruo's demo accounts, managing to trade three things at once.

……

Wang Xingbang couldn't read minds, so he didn't know what He Jing was thinking at that moment. After praising He Jing, he began to read out the rest of the list.

"Second place, Zheng Shaohui, with a return of 49.7%. It's a bit of a pity. If the market hadn't experienced a general decline today, you could have broken through the 50% return mark." "I will work even harder."

No sooner had Wang Xingbang finished speaking than Zheng Shaohui eagerly expressed his opinion.

Moreover, he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, hoping that the senior students who came for the referral would remember him better.

Although Huaxin Securities is the top securities company in China, he might still choose other securities companies if they offered him better terms, since it's all for his own future.

"Ah."

Wang Xingbang nodded slightly and continued, "Third place, Qi Junze, 47.2%."

"Fourth place, Dong Lulu, 43.2%."

"Fifth place, Xu Zhiruo, 41.8%."

When the name "Xu Zhiruo" was uttered, Xu Zhiruo, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a black pleated skirt and a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt, looked at He Jing with surprise and said:
"I!"

"I'm in fifth place!"

She never expected that Zhang Yang could help her break into the top five.

He Jing already knew the inside story, but women are all good at acting, so she feigned surprise and said, "Wow, Ruoruo is really amazing!"

Lan Sisi, with her tanned skin and short, dashing hair, was equally astonished and questioned, "With your grades in your major courses, how could you possibly be in the top five?"

“If I remember correctly, Ruoruo almost failed a course in the second semester of her freshman year,” Wei Yunshi echoed, questioning.

"You guys just don't understand," Xu Zhiruo said, tilting her chin up slightly with a hint of arrogance. "I usually mislead you, but actually I'm secretly competing with you all, all to amaze everyone during graduation season!"

Lan Sisi: "..."

Wei Yunshi: "..."

The two fell silent for a moment.

After four years of getting to know each other, they really hadn't realized that Xu Zhiruo was such a top student, but they couldn't deny it, since her grades were right in front of them.

After a few seconds of silence, Lan Sisi accepted the reality and said sarcastically, "You're such a scheming girl!"

"Scheming girl."

Wei Yunshi echoed this sentiment once again.

……

On the other side of the classroom, after hearing the name "Xu Zhiruo," Chen Chuan immediately looked at Xu Jiafeng and said, "Your goddess is fifth. What are your thoughts, Brother Feng?"

"Wow, Ruoruo is so amazing! Xiaofengfeng gives her a thumbs up!" Wang Liu chimed in, answering on her behalf.

The teasing from his two friends didn't elicit any subtle reaction from Xu Jiafeng. He calmly said, "I've let it go and accepted the fact that she doesn't like me. You can't break through my defenses."

"Are you truly at peace with it?"

Chen Chuan was somewhat incredulous.

“I’m truly at peace with it now,” Xu Jiafeng repeated.

"I must be seeing things. I saw someone holding a class photo the day before yesterday..."

Chen Chuan paused for a moment, which piqued Wang Liu's curiosity, and he quickly asked, "What is that person doing with the class photo?"

"What else can we do but secretly shed tears?" Chen Chuan shrugged.

"Stop talking, godfather. Give your eldest son some face." Xu Jiafeng directly acknowledged Chen Chuan as his father. If the lecture hall hadn't been so crowded, he would have knelt down before Chen Chuan. It was just too humiliating.

When Xu Jiafeng publicly acknowledged his father, Wang Xingbang looked at the list in his hand and read out the name of the last student: "Tenth place, Lai Weijie, with a return rate of 38.9%."
