After the interview, a post immediately rose to the top spot of the trending searches.

“A genius boy emerged suddenly and accurately predicted the stock price!”

After clicking on the trending searches, the news farmed quickly, but countless messages almost all expressed admiration for Lance.

“At only eight years old, he can predict stocks and self-study high school material. The future is limitless!”

“When I was eight, I was still playing in the mud. What a difference.”

“Little Lance is going to make Sister fall for him! Who wouldn’t love such a cute and smart child?”

“Am I the only one who wants to know the stocks Lance was talking about? Damn it, did the host realize that he interrupted a young stock market prodigy? That was a real gem of insight!”

“I’ll say it again. Great master, please take me as your disciple.”

Countless messages were showing one thing: Lance was now popular.

Fred and Helen were pleasantly surprised as they farmed the netizens’ comments. The smiles and excitement on their faces could not be concealed.

In contrast, the protagonist of the incident, Lance, remained unusually calm and not surprised.

He sat quietly on the side, contemplating his next move.

Lance was well aware that the stock market was still profitable and he could make some money from it!

Thinking of this, he summoned the system and had it display the risks, interest rates, and returns of each stock in full detail before his eyes.

After careful selection, Lance focused on choosing a few stocks with high interest rates.

The next step was to invest money and wait for the returns!

…

Because of Lance’s various actions, when he proposed to invest in stock again, Fred and Helen did not choose to stop him. Instead, they entrusted their assets to him with peace of mind.

Without hesitation, Lance invested this money directly in the stocks he had previously chosen, waiting for the right time to sell and then buy again.

After the operation, in just a day, the 400,000 yuan doubled.

Lance did not cheer or jump for joy when he saw the 800,000 yuan displayed in the account, but continued to operate calmly.

800,000 yuan?

It was just the beginning.

With the system and his abilities, it was easy for him to make a few million.

Of course, Lance was also well aware that stocks were not the only way out. In the future, the stock market would become increasingly worse. If it was about making money, stocks were not as good as investments.

Therefore, Lance decided that he would use the money he earned from stocks for investments!

After making his decision, Lance continued to study the stocks, and used his time to operate, almost every day, following the timing of the stock market’s rise.

Finally, his hard work paid off, and within a short period of time he made 5 million yuan!

The balance displayed in the account had a long string of zeros after the five. Just looking at it was satisfying.

Lance stretched lazily, extremely pleased with the results of his efforts during this phase.

Coincidentally, after Lance had prepared the seed fund for investment, he was alerted by the system notification. Lance realized that the Green District near his house was about to be demolished. The price of the houses there, which were worth 5,000 yuan per square meter, would soar to a whopping 30,000 yuan per square meter!

This was a rare opportunity. He had to seize it.

…

“Our son suddenly came to look at the houses? I have a feeling that something big is about to happen.”

On the way to the house, Helen couldn’t help but mutter her thoughts to Fred.

This morning, Lance insisted on having them accompany him to go look at the houses.

An eight-year-old child proposing to look at houses and even thinking of buying one was completely beyond their understanding.

After the events that had transpired, Fred and Helen had gained a little more trust in Lance. After all, he was a prodigy, and they should support him.

So the couple set out on a house-hunting trip, still feeling a bit dazed. It was only when they were about to reach the sales office that Helen raised a question.

“Maybe he’s just looking around. It’s not like he has to buy it,” said Fred, patting his wife’s shoulder to comfort her. “Besides, if he wants to buy it, we’ll support him.”

Fred knew that the five million in his account was Lance’s doing.

He believed that Lance had the right to use the money as he saw fit.

Hearing this, Helen nodded hesitantly. “That’s true.”

Lance, who was in front, noticed his parents’ concerns but did not expose them. He just put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the sales office, the look in his eyes exceptionally firm.

He did not need to explain. He just needed to wait for the house to be demolished and make a killing.

Lance was the first to step through the door of the sales office. Seeing this, the salesperson was at a loss, thinking that a young kid from somewhere was running around and ended up in the wrong place.

She was about to step forward and ask about the situation when Fred and Helen arrived at the sales office one after the other. Helen even took Lance’s small hand. Only then did the salesperson understand and she warmly stepped forward to introduce them to the house.

“Oh, isn’t this my good neighbor? Are you also here to buy a house too?”

Just as the salesperson finished introducing the house to the family and was serving them with drinks, a woman’s voice came over.

There was a particularly obvious sense of showing off in the voice.

Lance turned at the sound.

It was an auntie in her fifties, bedecked in gold and silver, with yellowed teeth, smiling at their family.

Lance frowned slightly.

Why did he feel that this auntie’s smile seemed to conceal a knife? He sensed that she might not have come with good intentions.

Before he could think further, this enthusiastic neighbor picked up her designer bag and walked towards them. She did not forget to roll up her sleeves to show off a golden bracelet.

“I never imagined that your family could also come to buy a house.” The auntie’s finger “accidentally” brushed past the golden bracelet and she was extremely smug. “I thought poor people wouldn’t dare to come look at houses. Only successful people like me can enjoy the pleasures of rich women.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fred and Helen exchanged a glance. Their faces showed a hint of displeasure as they realized the showing off intention of their former neighbor.

As for Lance, his guess was verified. He shook his head helplessly.

Before his parents could speak, Lance stepped forward and said innocently, “Why can’t we buy a house, Auntie? Does it have anything to do with you?”

Seeing this, the neighbor’s expression changed slightly.

She glanced at Lance first and rolled her eyes. There was a hint of reproach in her voice, “Uncivilized kid, stay out of adult matters.”

With that, Lance’s neighbor looked at Fred and Helen with disdain.

“It’s not that I want to say this, but a poor family like yours shouldn’t buy a new house, it’s useless. With your thick skin and flesh, you’d be better suited for sleeping in a hay house with your status?”

“Maybe it’s just fate that is different. I don’t have great abilities, but I have a good son! Not only can he make money, but he can also take care of me. Look, he brought me here to buy a house.”

“You can be envious of us. Sometimes it’s just fate, if it’s meant to be, it will be. If it’s not, then don’t force it.”

The constant chatter made Fred and Helen frown.

They had never provoked this neighbor and were not even familiar with her.

Almost all the residents in the neighborhood knew that she liked to show off. Who would have thought that this person would say hello to everyone she saw, even if they were not familiar with her.

A note of discord lingered in the sales office.

At this moment, the salesperson had just finished serving drinks.

“Sister salesperson, may I ask which house this auntie wants to buy?”

Lance’s young voice attracted the attention of the people around him.

The salesperson did not know the little guy’s purpose, but she still maintained her Class ethics and told Lance the answer with a smile.

After getting the answer, Lance’s expression changed.

“I’ll buy two houses. Please don’t sell them to her!”
