352 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

Chapter 352: Su Siyang's Gift (Third Update) Late at night, Su Qi's phone displayed a game interface where the character Barbara was moving around. Despite wearing silk pajamas, she wasn't asleep. She was focusing on her laptop, observing the stock market trends. After leaving her teaching profession earlier this month, Su Qi had applied on Bilibili and withdrew the rewards from the previous month. The total earnings amounted to 8.12 million yuan. After deducting the platform’s 40% commission and taxes, the final amount Su Qi received was a little over 4.15 million yuan. She stared at the seven-digit figure in her bank account for a long time, feeling as if it was unreal. However, that feeling of disbelief didn’t last long. She transferred almost all of this money, along with more than two hundred thousand yuan from her previous account, leaving just ten thousand for living expenses, into stocks. Now, Su Qi was no longer the stock market novice she once was. As she studied the stocks on her computer screen, she used her stock trading guide knowledge to jot down notes and diagrams on the small blackboard she got from her sister, Wang Yun. Though her investment success rate was already quite high, she remained extremely cautious. After all, there were only over 80 days left until the next financial report as her system had mentioned. With her current assets of nearly 4.5 million yuan, she managed to grow it to 4.7 million through minor weekly profits. Honestly, earning 200,000 in just a few days is incredibly fast. If an ordinary person had this kind of income, they would probably be ecstatic. But Su Qi was different. She still had to repay the 100 million yuan 'imperial seal' debt for her system. At this rate, not considering potential losses, even with her strong arithmetic skills, Su Qi estimated it would take many years to earn 100 million yuan. Hence, recently, Su Qi was under a lot of pressure, because even with a 4.7 million principal, it seemed insignificant in the face of 100 million. Currently, she was meticulously analyzing every stock, looking over K-line graphs, and using specific news articles and major changes to estimate the stock trends and their peak periods. As Su Qi predicted, the stock market had slowly warmed up after a previous slump, but there weren’t any shocking changes in any particular stock or sector. She identified some stocks with volatile movements, but given her current capability and the fact that not all data can be found online, even if there was a 70% chance of profit, she didn't dare take the risk. Losing wasn't an option for her now. Time flew by as she jotted down notes, and soon it was 3 AM. Closing her eyes, Su Qi pondered over the stock data she had reviewed and felt somewhat overwhelmed. With her current skills, she could pick out some stable, profitable stocks. However, those stocks appreciated so slowly—just 2% a day. Even with a 4.7 million base, it amounted to less than 100,000, still far short of 100 million. But soon Su Qi calmed down. She still had over 80 days, enough time to finish the stock trading guide. Based on her night's analysis, she figured there wouldn’t be major fluctuations soon. So, for now, Su Qi had only two things she could do: continue studying and slowly accumulate capital while waiting for an opportunity. With these thoughts resolved, Su Qi finally couldn't resist sleep and slowly closed her eyes. But just a second before sleep embraced her, she seemed to hear the system's childlike, crisp voice: “Thank you, host. Goodnight—” August 9th, Su Siyang was extremely happy because he would soon meet his much-missed sister, Su Qi. Thinking of his sister, Su Siyang felt a warm, tender feeling in his heart. Liu Qi, who was driving, glanced at Su Siyang’s expression and quickly guessed his thoughts. The only thing that could make Su Siyang this happy was likely his sister. If there’s one more, it would be Police Officer Zhang Ru, right? Thinking of Officer Zhang Ru, Liu Qi felt a headache brewing, especially since Su Siyang was at the peak of his career. Honestly, for an idol, dating is nothing but detrimental. She remembered a few days ago. Liu Qi intended to discuss the next day's schedule with Su Siyang in the evening, only to find him on a lengthy phone chat with Officer Zhang Ru. Although they were discussing the Su Qi, the adorable girl Liu Qi knew, she still sensed something amiss. But the key issue was that Su Siyang was unlike other celebrities. At times, he was extremely rebellious. For instance, about his views on relationships, as his manager, Liu Qi had reminded him countless times. Each time Su Siyang would reply, "No, we are entirely innocent." Hence, Liu Qi didn't feel right to say much else. She could only advise the two to be cautious. During this brief break, Liu Qi was slightly worried that Su Siyang and Officer Zhang Ru might spark rumors, so she sacrificed her work time to accompany him. After all, she relied on Su Siyang for her livelihood. After a long five-hour drive, Su Siyang and Liu Qi finally reached their destination. Parking the car in the villa's courtyard, Liu Qi immediately noticed Su Qi coming out from the door in an office suit. Under the sunlight, Su Qi's radiant skin emitted a faint blush, resembling a layer of rouge on white jade, making her already exquisite beauty even more enchanting. Seeing Su Qi after nearly two months, Liu Qi was momentarily stunned, feeling that the girl seemed even more charming. And with the added formality of her office attire, she appeared more mature than before. If Su Qi previously was like a tart and sweet grape, now she resembled a soft, inviting apple. Even as a woman, Liu Qi felt the urge to take her home. As a manager, Liu Qi, witnessing such captivating charm in Su Qi, couldn’t help but entertain the thought of bringing her into the entertainment industry. Signing an artist like her would be every manager's dream. Unconsciously, Liu Qi’s gaze toward Su Qi burned even hotter. Su Qi quickly sensed Liu Qi’s gaze, which was even more intense than her brother's. For some reason, every time Su Qi saw her brother's manager, she felt like she was being eyed by a hunter. After a brief greeting with Liu Qi, Su Qi ran over to her brother's side. Earlier, Su Siyang had called her, saying he brought a 'mysterious gift' for her. Growing up, she had rarely received gifts, and perhaps due to being a girl now, she found herself particularly curious about certain unknown things. Seeing his sister's expectant eyes, Su Siyang felt a surge of happiness. He was confident that the gift he bought for his sister would be perfect. After all, he had consulted their mother ahead for information. Lightly pressing the car key, the trunk slowly opened. Immediately, Su Qi saw the box of "gifts" her brother had bought for her. Upon seeing the gifts, the light faded from her innocent, expectant eyes, and she stood there as if turned to stone. Because, never in her dreams did Su Qi imagine her brother’s mysterious gift would be a box of girls’ dresses. Even the dresses alone weren’t the main issue; the crucial point was: The colors were all pink!!!
