Everyone at Night Tokyo was gathered together, eating, chatting, and laughing lively. Before long, the conversation turned back to Mr. Bao. Lingzi asked He Wenjie with a puzzled look, "Didn't you and Mr. Bao go to Shenzhen together? How come you've been back for so long, and even made a trip to Hong Kong and back, while he's still stuck down there?"
"It's different," Mei Ping chimed in. "I heard it all at Department 27. President He practically played all the stock investors in Shenzhen for fools this time. Not only did he play the mantis waiting for the cicada, scooping up plenty of low-priced shares, but he also deliberately released a good half of them at low prices. That kind of magnanimity really saved face for all the Shanghai investors. Mr. Bao only managed to scoop up enough shares from that bunch because of President He's warning. Now that same bunch is teaming up to drive up the stock market for the cheap shares they're holding, and when the time comes, President He will be able to cash out at high prices without spending an ounce of effort. Mr. Bao isn't like President He; he holds fewer shares, so he's planning to stay a bit longer, hoping to find a market peak to cash out."
"All right, Miss Wang, stop praising him," Lingzi interrupted. "Those people of yours spend all day scheming against each other. What is there to praise?"
