Lin Mi immediately opened the news. The scene in the photo was a complete mess—several cars had crashed together, and some of the car fronts were severely deformed.
The comment section was filled with prayers and discussions about traffic safety.
In that moment, she couldn’t help feeling powerless.
Even if she knew in advance, what could she do?
Call the police and say a car accident would happen in the future? They would probably think she was crazy.
Perhaps she was inherently selfish too—without the ability to protect herself, she didn’t dare take risks.
Not to mention, an accident like a car crash was extremely difficult to control.
“Sigh~”
Lin Mi let out a soft breath.
This “golden finger” might be powerful, but it wasn’t omnipotent. It brought not only opportunities, but also tests of human nature and a deep respect for rules.
In the following time, Lin Mi kept an eye on Fenghua Technology’s stock trends while doing her daily tasks on the “Get Rich Edition,” replying to a few positive comments and gaining more than ten energy points.
Fenghua Technology’s stock price fluctuated slightly after opening and even fell below her cost price at one point, making her heart rise and fall with it.
This was the time that truly tested an investor’s composure and courage. She even saw many people beginning to sell off and retreat.
But the moment she recalled the clear phrase “charging toward limit-up” on the trending topic, she calmed down again.
If she didn’t have this golden finger, she probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand this psychological shock.
“Got it!”
Suddenly, Lin Mi remembered the influence-related daily task and immediately posted a dynamic on the “Notes” app, saying Fenghua Technology was likely to hit the limit-up.
She had studied it carefully—everything she said or did on the app was tied to her energy value. Essentially, she needed to increase her popularity; only when more and more people followed her and were positively influenced by her would her energy value grow quickly.
That way, she could unlock more days of foresight sooner.
But within half an hour of posting, she received several mocking and rebutting comments.
Lin Mi didn’t mind at all.
This was just the initial groundwork. Once each of her statements was proven true, people would naturally believe her and start following her lead.
By then, her energy value would grow better and better.
It was similar to gaining the faith of the masses in mythology.
Anyway, the final result would be revealed tonight.
After settling the stock matter temporarily, Lin Mi breathed a sigh of relief and began checking today’s updated “System Hot Search.”
【#Starting September 18, Rongcheng will experience three consecutive days of high temperatures#】
【#Rongcheng Metro Line 20 to conduct technical testing tomorrow, some stations temporarily closed# September 18】
【#Latest scientific breakthrough: Early-stage cancer screening technology makes major progress# September 19】
【#‘Future Tech’ Summit to be held at Starshine International Hotel at 10 a.m. today, industry giants gathering# September 19】

Lin Mi directly skipped the hot searches dated the 18th—she had already seen them. Her gaze fell on the ones dated the 19th.
“Future Tech Summit? Sounds impressive.”
Lin Mi murmured. Events like these usually attracted a lot of media and investors. Maybe her next “Fenghua Technology” was hidden inside.
So she tapped into the “Future Tech” trending topic. The page opened to a video—likely onsite coverage from the summit that day.
The video showed a massive conference hall, stylishly laid out with a strong sense of technology. There were ten or so rows of tables and chairs, almost a hundred people in total.
Quite a large-scale event.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the camera swept past a familiar face. Lin Mi immediately slid to pause the video.
“It’s him!”
Even though the camera wasn’t zoomed in and the playback was fast, such a handsome face still stood out among the crowd.
Not to mention—she had met him before!
At the drinking gathering the night before last, he was the one whose appearance helped her escape an awkward situation.
She still owed him a thank-you.
In the video, the man was seated in the front row in a suit and leather shoes. On the table in front of him was a nameplate: Yachuang Vientiane — Wei Xun.
“Wei Xun? So his name is Wei Xun~”
Lin Mi muttered as she stared at the man in the video.
She vaguely remembered that the lecherous President Li had called him “President Wei.”
In such a large summit, for him to sit in the first row showed his extraordinary identity.
Either he came from a powerful background, or he was a top figure in his field.
In any case—his status was definitely not low!
But someone like him, a favored child of heaven, probably wouldn’t take the little incident from the other night to heart.
To him, it was likely just a trivial gesture done in passing.
Still, she was sincerely grateful to him.
If she had the chance in the future, she would repay this favor.
She didn’t have capital now—but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t in the future.
“…”
Lin Mi shrugged and smiled, skipped the video, and continued scrolling through the trending list.
Suddenly, a headline in a darker shade of red than the others instantly seized all her attention.
【#A major fire breaks out at Starshine International Hotel, thick smoke billowing—casualties already reported#】 Exploding trending topic!!
Her heart tightened instantly!
Starshine International Hotel?
Wasn’t that the location of the tech summit she had just watched?
Lin Mi swallowed nervously and quickly opened the detailed page.
This trending topic included photos and a short video, clearly reporting the fire situation.
She read while reciting the key information:
“2:15 p.m.”
“The fire started in the kitchen area behind the third-floor Chinese restaurant, rapidly spreading to the adjacent banquet hall and several guest rooms.”
“Preliminary cause: suspected gas leak mishandled in the kitchen, leading to an explosion and severe fire.”
“Multiple floors affected; specific casualties still being counted.”
In the video, thick black smoke continuously poured out of the hotel windows. Fire trucks and ambulances crowded the entrance, and chaos filled the scene.
Beside the vehicles, many injured people were being supported or carried out, awaiting medical treatment.
Seeing this, Lin Mi’s breathing grew rapid, and her heart trembled.
This was far more specific—and far more horrifying—than the previous car accident warning.
A five-star hotel hosting a large-scale tech summit—if such a serious fire really occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
