Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Shen Fei patted her shoulder and comforted her calmly, "Everyone has their own choices and path to take; we can't control others."

Blue Sky Coin.

In her past life, this massive financial scam truly shattered countless families. Yang Xue's fiancé was clearly just one of the many victims who were exploited.

However, it is now 2018, and there is still more than a year before that whole scheme collapses.

And this has nothing to do with him.

"Let's go, we've seen the house, I'll take you home." Shen Fei snapped out of his thoughts and turned to walk towards the villa entrance.

"Oh……"

Zhou Yun responded softly and followed behind him, but her steps were somewhat hesitant.

She was clearly still immersed in Yang Xue's story, and remained sullen throughout the journey, lacking her usual liveliness.

The two walked one after the other through a courtyard planted with lush green grass, the air filled with the fresh scent of earth and plants.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows of the two people.

"What's wrong?" Shen Fei noticed Zhou Yun's unusual behavior and turned around to ask.

"I just feel so sorry for Sister Xue..." Zhou Yun said, her head down, her voice muffled. Her pink tracksuit made her look even smaller and more helpless. "She was such a good person, she tried so hard to build a family, and in the end..."

He looked at her and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

This girl's thought process is always so peculiar. One second she's gloating over how she managed to cut the rent, and the next she's grieving over a stranger's story.

"Alright," Shen Fei raised his hand and gently ruffled her bun. "People are different. Not all men are such scumbags, and not all relationships end like this."

But Zhou Yun felt even more upset after hearing this.

She suddenly raised her head, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with tears, a hint of stubbornness and grievance in them: "But I... I can't do anything. I'm neither as capable as Sister Xue, nor as hardworking as Li Yuanyuan... Shen Fei, am I really useless?"

This problem has come full circle.

Ever since she saw Li Yuanyuan chopping firewood in the countryside yesterday, this question has been lingering in her mind like a thorn that she can't get rid of.

Shen Fei looked at her reddened eyes and said with a smile, "How could that be? Your acting skills have been getting better and better lately. In a while, your popularity will even surpass Song Ting's."

Unfortunately, when Shen Fei said this to Zhou Yun, it was tantamount to admitting that she was currently useless.

See? Even Shen Fei thinks she's useless.

She could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her cheeks.

"I see."

Zhou Yun sniffed, wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand, turned around and walked out, her voice thick with nasal tone, "Well... I'll go home first, you go ahead and do your work."

She walked quickly, as if trying to escape this place that made her feel ashamed.

Shen Fei watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

I have indeed neglected Zhou Yun a bit lately. Although there are many viral videos in the Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) category, there are none that are phenomenal, which has resulted in Zhou Yun's fan base growing very slowly.

As for why Shen Fei doesn't want to film short dramas now, it's simply because he's afraid to.

The short drama genre has such low barriers to entry and costs that it's easy for others to remake and replicate it. If you don't have enough teams and funds, and you lack competitiveness, you can only make a short drama popular by recklessly doing the work for others.

Of course, it can't be delayed for too long. Shenfei's plan is to start entering the short drama market at the end of the year. Six months is more than enough time for him to prepare.

......

In the afternoon, Shen Fei had just returned to the company when he saw Zhao Jun and Li Yuanyuan standing at the company entrance.

Upon seeing Shen Fei, Li Yuanyuan ran over excitedly.

"Shen...Shen Fei, my account has regained its tens of millions of traffic..."

"????"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei was stunned. This shouldn't be the case. Judging from the video data of the past few days, Li Yuanyuan would need to shoot at least one more video to regain her tens of millions of views. Her previous persona change and the drop in account weight were too severe.

Even though Shenfei has been pushing the stream through the matrix account for the past few days, the traffic has remained at around five million.

Shen Fei was surprised but remained calm on the surface, as if he had only done a small thing, and said with a smile, "Then congratulations, Teacher Li."

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Li Yuanyuan was suddenly struck by a jolt and was completely captivated.

She used to think that her success was due to luck or her own hard work.

But now I realize that all the viral success was under Shen Fei's control.

"Shen Fei, thank you... Uncle Zhao is on his way. He has already arranged for the finance department to settle the final payment, and he wants to discuss further cooperation with you."

"Oh, no problem! Let's go upstairs and wait for him."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, he led the way into the company.

After arriving at the company, Shen Fei found a meeting room for Li Yuanyuan and the other woman to rest, while he quickly walked into his office.

Shen Fei quickly retrieved the backend data of Li Yuanyuan's account.

The data graph is displayed on the screen.

Sure enough, at 9 a.m., the previously stable number of views suddenly surged, gaining six million views in just three hours, and receiving as many as 450,000 likes.

Shen Fei opened the traffic source analysis and carefully read through each line.

Natural recommendations, fan visits, local push notifications...

This massive influx of traffic was entirely forced in from Douyin's official recommendation pool!

Was it really just good luck that brought a surge in traffic, directly breaking through the five million traffic pool?

Just as Shen Fei was wondering, his phone screen lit up, and the name displayed on the caller ID made him pause slightly.

Yan Ming.

Why would he suddenly call?

Shen Fei pressed the answer button, but before he could speak, Yan Ming's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Shen! You're truly my savior!"

"President Yan, I dare not accept such a compliment."

"Hahaha, you deserve it, absolutely deserve it!" Yan Ming laughed heartily on the other end of the phone. "Teacher Li, you're back in President Shen's arms, aren't you?"

Shen Fei understood immediately; it seemed this surge in traffic was orchestrated by Douyin's official team.

He smiled calmly: "President Yan, you have keen insight. I was just helping a friend with a small favor; I didn't expect to bother you."

"It's not just alarming me, it's almost alarmed headquarters!" Yan Ming's tone was very excited. "President Shen, do you know that because of Li Yuanyuan's video of going to the countryside to help left-behind children, our Douyin platform has been commended by the State Administration of Radio and Television!"

State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?

Shen Fei's heart skipped a beat.

This is no ordinary official agency; in China, all content platforms are managed by the State Administration of Radio and Television.

"Mr. Shen, you should know that the higher-ups have been strictly controlling vulgar content lately!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen mentioned it to me last time he came over."
