The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 172 Peggy: Stop pretending, Amazing Amy, you can't fool Chuck!

"It's you?"

Andy Wharton looked at Chuck in disbelief.

"not me."

Chuck shook his head: "It's a righteous retail investor."

"... retail investors?"

Andy Wharton's face was ugly. He felt that his IQ had been insulted. In the financial market, the big fish always eat the small fish, the small fish eat shrimp, and the shrimp eat leeks, but he is a financial predator who eats big fish.

Now Chuck said he was defeated by retail investors known as leeks?
This is simply the big joke of the slippery world!
By this time the bailiffs had arrived.

Andy Wharton, who used to clamor that 'with money you can do whatever you want', thoroughly enjoyed the trouble of not having money, and could only reluctantly make a phone call to inquire about the loss of his property, while being taken back to prison .

"Dr. Wolf, here is my business card."

The criminal barrister hired by Andy Wharton smiled and handed over his business card: "You can call me if you need anything."

Chuck nodded.

"Retail investors?"

JJ just felt very happy, but there was something strange in his irrepressible smile.

Even if you don't understand the financial stock market, you know how retail investors can beat financial predators!
"Everyone underestimates the power of retail investors."

Chuck said calmly: "Scattered, retail investors can only be harvested, but once a certain opportunity forms a joint force, let alone a mere billionaire, even the entire Wall Street will have to shake three times. The real main force supporting the entire financial market is countless retail investors."

"It's not you?"

Chandler was surprised and regretful: "Fortunately, I also said your classic saying, I'm rich!"

"not me."

Chuck shook his head: "But isn't this sentence inappropriate?"

"According to the occasion!"

Chandler paused, and said with a smile: "It's so appropriate, I really hope that one day I can say this to others."

"It's too simple."

Chuck said: "For you, I can say this sentence, but for someone far inferior to you, you can say this sentence now, it's no big deal."

While everyone was chatting and joking, they dropped the topic.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, although Chuck is financially free and not short of money, he is only a multi-millionaire.

Chuck bid farewell to everyone and drove back to New Jersey.

He didn't lie. On the surface, he really didn't have this ability. As for more wealth in secret, Anna helped him use thousands of retail accounts to hold it.

Otherwise, where did the money for the construction of the shelter, the expansion of the underground secret room, and the allocation of various high-tech equipment come from?
They are all provided secretly by these private accounts.

Anna's hacking technology provides the most valuable real-time information, coupled with Chuck's deduction of financial mathematical models and ability to make accounts, these years have easily accumulated a lot of wealth in private, which is why Chuck found Andy. After Wharton was involved in the case, he had the confidence to short it immediately.

It's just that he didn't plan to swallow Andy Wharton's assets in one gulp at first. After all, financial war is not a child's play. Billionaires are in pain.

Then it was discovered that more retail investors entered the market, forming a chain reaction, and other financial tycoons also took advantage of the situation to end, directly turning the small-time eating meat and soup into extremely cruel eating.

This is how Andy Wharton found in the court to his astonishment that he didn't seem to be the rich man who 'can do whatever he wants', but the clown himself.

As Chuck, who knew the development of the process, told Chandler and the others that it was not him but the retail investors. To a certain extent, it was indeed true.

Thinking of this, he raised his decorative black-rimmed glasses while driving, and whispered to himself, "Are there any problems with those retail investors?"

The watch on Chuck's wrist vibrated twice.

Once yes, twice no!

Chuck remained silent, stopped talking, drove to the door of Hofstadter's house, and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it? Sheldon, go and open the door."

"I can."

"You can go instead."

"You need someone please."

"...can you go over and open the door, please?"

The sound of little Leonard gnashing his teeth came from inside the house.

"Ok."

Little Sheldon got up and came to open the door when he heard the word please. The joy on his face froze when he saw the shadow covering the sky and the sun: "You..."

"Who?"

Little Leonard, who was busy inside, couldn't help asking when Little Sheldon opened the door and fell silent before finishing his sentence.

There was still no sound outside.

Little Leonard sensed that something was wrong, he poked his head out to look, the corner of his mouth suddenly went back to his ears, and he called out to Chuck who silently stared at the frozen little Sheldon: "Hi, Chuck! "

"Hi Leonard."

Chuck looked up and nodded to little Leonard who was trotting over.

"Are you here to see me?"

Little Leonard pulled away Little Sheldon who was standing in front of him, and said expectantly.

"Yes and no."

Chuck said, "At Monica's request, I'm here to invite Sheldon to Peggy's surprise birthday party."

"No!"

Little Sheldon was staggered by little Leonard, and managed to recover from the frozen state after being shrouded in shadows. When he heard that the big devil Chuck was going to take him to see the little devil Peggy, he shook his head subconsciously: "I dont go!"

"why?"

Chuck looked down at Young Sheldon.

"Because, because..."

Under the gaze of Chuck's calm gaze, Little Sheldon, who has always been ignorant and even said that he was more serious, couldn't even say a simple "I don't want to go".

"Yeah, why?"

Little Leonard was envious and jealous, imitating Chuck's tone, looking up at little Sheldon with his head slightly raised.

"Dr. Wolfe."

Beverly came down from upstairs at this time, and helped little Sheldon: "Why are you here?"

Chuck told the story.

"Hey, why didn't you notify in advance?"

Beverly looked at Chuck in surprise.

Little Sheldon, who had already moved behind Beverly, finally plucked up the courage to say to Chuck after hearing this, "Because you didn't notify me in advance, I won't go."

"For others, advance notice is required, but not for you."

Chuck shook his head.

"why?"

With the umbrella of Beverly, little Sheldon raised his chin again while speaking.

"Because it's a birthday surprise party and it's a surprise."

Chuck said frankly: "And if you are notified in advance, the surprise of this birthday surprise party will be completely meaningless, won't it?"

"You mean I can't keep a secret?"

Little Sheldon refused.

"Can you keep a secret?"

Chuck asked back.

"...Do you really think I can't keep a secret?"

Little Sheldon froze, but he repeated stiffly.

"Do you still want to play the repeater game?"

Chuck looked into young Sheldon's eyes.

"No!"

Little Sheldon yelled in horror.

The pete and repeat game last time was simply his nightmare. Even though Chuck didn't continue in his crying at the end, he had a developed brain and repeated this game countless times in his dream that night, completely establishing the confidence in his heart. The name of the Demon Lord Chuck.

"Chuck's right, you really can't keep a secret."

Leonard Jr. was the first to poke Sheldon Jr.'s tire.

"You're really bad at keeping secrets."

Beverly said frankly: "But this is not a shortcoming. For us, we have nothing to say to others."

Little Sheldon nodded with tears in his eyes.

"So, do you have any questions?"

Chuck looked up at his watch and asked, "If not, pack up your clothes, we should go."

Little Sheldon looked at Beverly eagerly, hoping that Beverly would talk to him.

"Peggy is a remarkable talent and deserves your birthday celebration."

Beverly did not give him the help he imagined, raised her glasses, and said flatly: "This is an inevitable custom."

"Ok."

Little Sheldon saw that his biggest protective umbrella said so, and he really didn't dare to face Chuck and say, "I didn't have my own birthday on February 2 last month, so why should I celebrate Peggy's birthday?" , I could only go to the bathroom aggrieved first, and then went upstairs to change clothes.

"Can I go with you?"

Little Leonard said anxiously.

"Of course!"

Chuck nodded.

"yeah!"

Little Leonard jumped up and ran upstairs: "I'm going to change!"

"I see that you have always looked at Leonard differently."

Beverly frowned: "Why?"

"An experiment."

Chuck didn't want to comment on Beverly's parenting model, nor did he want to entangle the topic, so he ended the topic with the most concise words in an understatement.

"uh-huh."

After Beverly was surprised, she nodded and smiled in relief: "Looking forward to your scientific experiment paper!"

She is the most appreciative of doing scientific experiments. Even if other people's experimental subjects are her son, she doesn't care, because in her eyes, her son Leonard can participate in the experiments of scientists of their level, and he is his son Leonard. The greatest contribution and value to science.

Chuck nodded.

After a while, little Leonard, who didn't want to wait for Chakdo, dragged little Sheldon, who didn't want to go at all, down the stairs.

"What about the gift?"

After Little Sheldon regained control of his bladder, he immediately felt that his psychological shadow had dissipated a lot, and he dared to ask his own question: "You should have notified me in advance, you must know that choosing a suitable gift is the most troublesome thing, you must It represents your own heart, and it is completely equivalent to a gift from others..."

"Did Peggy get you a birthday present?"

Chuck interrupted.

"……No."

Little Sheldon froze, and said aggrievedly: "She just called me and said, I really envy you for being 12, and I'm still 11."

"Haha."

Little Leonard couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

The youngest super genius has always been the title that Little Sheldon cares about the most. In this regard, even Chuck is not of the same age, so it is not easy to mock Little Sheldon.

Peggy, who is half a month younger than Little Sheldon, can do it!

"That's fine."

Chuck said solemnly: "When you arrive at the scene, tell her, I'm really envious that you just turned 12, and I'm already 12."

"..."

Little Sheldon was very depressed, and said dissatisfiedly to Little Leonard who kept laughing: "What is he going to do?"

"It was Monica's idea to invite you."

Chuck said frankly: "In fact, we all know that whether you go or not has no effect on Peggy, but Monica thinks that Peggy needs you of the same age and same kind to be present, so I invite you to come over." , and Leonard is the one I really want to invite."

Little Leonard's eyes started to sparkle.

Beverly watched the whole process, seeing her always dull son like this, no doubt about Chuck's experiment, she smiled and nodded at Chuck.

Chuck drove and took Little Sheldon and Little Leonard to New York.

Monica's apartment.

The arrangements have already been made at this moment. After Chuck came over, he handed over Leonard and Sheldon to Rachel and Phoebe.

Relying on her tall figure, Phoebe stood on the balcony and looked down to see what was going on. After Monica led Peggy downstairs, she immediately reminded everyone to hide.

"I'm coming!"

"Where's Chandler?"

"He has something to do, he will come later."

"Shut up, we're almost there."

When the door was opened, everyone jumped out together and shouted in unison to Peggy who had been moved by Monica to the C position: "Surprise!"

"Wow!"

Peggy's small face was full of surprise: "Mona, you threw me a birthday surprise party?"

"Like it?"

Seeing the surprise on Peggy's face, Monica smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Of course I like it."

Peggy nodded again and again, shifted her gaze to little Sheldon, and said with a playful smile: "As I said when I first met Sheldon, I like surprises."

"..."

Little Sheldon was suffocated.

"Chuck, do you have any surprises for me?"

Peggy looked at Chuck expectantly.

"The oil painting you mentioned."

Chuck took out the gift he had prepared for Peggy.

Peggy took it, and couldn't wait to unfold it. The brightest smile suddenly appeared on her face. Everyone gathered around to look, and saw that the painting was a delicate and beautiful Peggy, looking at the glass window in front of her slightly lowered eyebrows, and the left corner of her mouth was slightly raised. From the beginning, the projection of the reduced version of the earth is faintly projected on the glass, but the difference from the blue water polo is that the other areas projected by the glass are like a sky full of sunshine, and like jumping flames, giving the blue color of the water polo to the sky. The dye is not so clear.

"I love this surprise so much!"

Peggy happily played with the oil painting, not letting others touch it at all.

"Sorry, are we late?"

Just when Monica wanted to ask what the painting meant, the door opened and Chandler poked his head in.

"us?"

Monica is sensitive to numbers.

"Hi."

Chandler stepped aside exaggeratedly, revealing the magical Amy behind her, and saw her slightly beckoning, and said shyly: "I heard from Chandler that you are celebrating the children's birthday today, so I will take the liberty of coming here , Because I know that Dr. Wolf doesn't like to be disturbed, so I spent a little more time avoiding reporters, I'm really sorry, this is a gift I prepared."

As he spoke, he handed a carefully wrapped gift to Peggy.

"Don't bother, don't bother."

Ross saw the really amazing Amy coming, his eyes straightened, and he murmured.

"Come in first."

Monica, as the hostess, also expressed her welcome.

"Thank you."

Peggy took the gift without changing her smile.

"open to take a look!"

Rachel and the others were all very interested in the gift from Amazing Amy.

Peggy opened the package casually. Inside was a beautiful box. After opening the box, the gift inside was revealed.

"I heard from Chandler, Peggy, you are a math genius just like Dr. Wolfe."

Amazing Amy smiled and said, "Here is a manuscript of Ramanujan."

"Ramanujan's manuscript?!"

Peggy hadn't done much yet, and little Sheldon was the first to yell out jealously.

"Who is Ramanujan?"

Ross and the others were dumbfounded.

"He was a genius mathematician in India who never had a formal education but achieved excellence in the field of mathematics."

Little Leonard helped science popularization: "Ordinary people study mathematics, but Ramanujan, who has no formal education, directly discovered and created mathematics. He was hired by Cambridge University as the first Indian academician in history. Guess he What is the starting job?"

"What is it?"

Phoebe was particularly interested in the lives of common-born geniuses.

"Accountant too!"

Little Leonard looked around the crowd, raised his chin, and looked at Chuck with shining eyes: "Same as Chuck!"

"Wow, that's awesome!"

Phoebe and Rachel were amazed.

Then everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the amazing Amy, because everyone had too much curiosity and gossip about the protagonist of the latest hot news.

The amazing Amy answered every question gracefully, making everyone feel like a spring breeze, and she was grateful to Chuck inside and out, which really made Ross jealous.

Peggy was still smiling, and when Amazing Amy finally failed, she walked to her side, looked at her, and after Amazing Amy looked over, she sneered and said, "Don't pretend, you can't fool Chuck!"
