If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 32

"No way!" Cheng Bei glared, "Liu Bin will definitely shoot while laughing wildly, I can't entrust him with this kind of task. And, Xiao Wen, Professor Ye will speak on behalf of the teacher, then Don't you want to witness this kind of grace?"

Wen Ran tried hard to resist the temptation: "I, I don't really want to..."

Cheng Bei: "Remove two words."

Wen Ran: "I don't want to."

Cheng Bei: "Remove two more words."

Wen Ran: "I think..." Woohoo, she is too hopeless, so she was tempted away like that.

The first lecture hall was overcrowded, Wen Ran stood at the entrance in a daze, holding a DV, trying to find a seat among the hundreds of people.Suddenly, two people stood up from the middle row and waved to her. Wen Ran looked over and found that it was Liu Feifei and Lin Sheng.Immediately her eyes lit up, okay, these two left her alone and that's it.

Wen Ran took a few steps over and took a seat between the two of them: "Why didn't you wait for me?"

Liu Feifei smiled and said nothing, Lin Sheng said: "Didn't you think that you have family treatment and can sit in the front VIP seat?"

Wen Ran: "..."

The DV was stolen by Liu Feifei. She recently became a DV enthusiast and was saving money to buy it. Wen Ran naturally gave Cheng Bei's task to her, and he did not forget to convey Cheng Bei's original words to her: "Remember to It captures the beauty of my dark blue academic uniform."

Looking at Cheng Bei on the stage, Wen Ran deeply felt that this was a big problem.

Ye Yizhen was sitting in the front row, looking down at something with a serious and focused expression. Even among a group of teachers wearing similar suits, it was not difficult to recognize him.Wen Ran stretched her neck to look at him a few times, then shrank back.

The ceremony was very long. After the leaders of the academy finished their speeches one by one, Ye Yizhen finally came on stage. He wore a black formal suit and was a little more serious than before.Wen Ran only took one look, then lowered her head, for fear of being seen by someone.

After a while, Lin Sheng poked her pretending to be a turtle: "I think it's better for you to come out."

"What's wrong……"

"Professor Ye has seen you."

"How come?" She lowered her head to the bottom of the seat.

"Then do you think there is any fool hiding between me and Liu Feifei?"

Wen Ran: "..." Too, so outrageous!
Wen Ran raised her head.Just in time, I saw Ye Yizhen standing in front of the podium, his soft gaze slightly scanning the audience."Before I start my speech, I would like to ask the students a question," he said.

Everyone in the audience listened attentively, but Wen Ran was stunned for a moment. This opening remark was so familiar that she almost traveled back to the time when she saw him for the first time. He stood on the stage with a slender figure that caught people's eyes.

"If I remember correctly, you are the first batch of undergraduates I brought after I came to B University. I would like to ask, among you, does anyone remember the first of the ten principles of economics?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone shouted the answer, and Ye Yizhen couldn't help showing a smile, "Thank you, classmate, yes, the first of the ten principles is that people face trade-offs. Then, who are the students who can memorize all ten principles?" come down?"

Everyone hesitated for a while, Ye Yizhen smiled slightly, turned the microphone, and said: "Okay, now the speech begins. Today's topic is employment, so I will talk about my career."

"When I first returned to China, I had trouble choosing a job for a while. In the end, I chose to be a teacher, which puzzled many people. They think that people who study economics come out to create GDP and improve social and economic levels, otherwise they will be sorry. Your hard work in the past few years, at least I am sorry for your tuition. I think everyone here should have this experience."

There was a resonant laughter from the audience.

"In fact, they are right. Everyone has the requirement of pursuing economic interests. For this reason, people created money, created transactions, created the stock market, and created Wall Street. People create wealth while trying to create happiness. However, Here, I want to ask an old-fashioned question, is wealth and happiness directly proportional?" The people in the audience looked at each other, Wen Ran raised his head, and looked into his eyes, which were full of warmth, as if he didn't get the answer, "Very Very few people will give me an answer on the spot, unless you are a pure optimist or a pessimist."

"Because we have all learned to think, in order to obtain wealth - economic benefits, we have to make trade-offs, not to choose the one we like the most, but to choose the one that brings the most value. This choice can easily bring a gap , that is the gap between wealth and happiness. In order to realize the value, we start to consider the margin, cost and effort, and we hope to bring the maximum value benefit with the minimum cost. Of course, it is good to get the maximum value, but we It is unavoidable to think about another aspect, that is, if you get nothing from the bamboo basket, you will get nothing. This result is very likely to happen, because choices have always been accompanied by risks.”

In the silence, Ye Yizhen smiled, lowered his head and took care of the speech he hadn't read since he came to the stage: "So, thinking is a very troublesome thing. My speech is not about life, because it is too It's too general, and I'm not a philosopher. I just want to tell the students here that when you enter the society and start working conscientiously, you start to care about your own interests, and when you betray your heart, you start to feel When you are tired, it is better to forget all of this. No longer think about the cost, benefit and price, no longer think about what is the most economical and beneficial way, but choose the way you like as you like. This may be more a little better."

After he finished speaking, he glanced around the audience, and when his gaze passed her, his smile became more gentle.With a slight bow, he stepped off the stage.Everyone seemed to be immersed in a kind of shock. Before they recovered, Wen Ran looked at Lin Sheng and moved his body.Opening her mouth, she was just about to be defended by Professor Ye's unprofessional speech just now, when suddenly there was roaring applause in the lecture hall, and she sat there, slightly dazed.

Lin Sheng tilted his head, his beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "Wen Ran, be careful that you will have a few more love rivals after this speech."

Wen Ran smiled slightly, stared at his back, and applauded vigorously.

Non-responsible extras:
Hong Kong GP Branch, Winter.

The shutters were wide open, and light beams slowly shone in through the glass, alleviating the dull atmosphere in the conference room.

The meeting table was full of people, all in suits and leather shoes, with serious and cautious expressions.There was only one man in a gray suit, standing in front of the rostrum, holding a silver baton and pointing at the big screen, while talking eloquently, with a calm and unhurried expression.

"Securities analysts in Hong Kong have already recommended European bonds to their clients, and some banks in the United States have purchased Italian or Canadian bonds. These bonds are sold at the offer price, regardless of the yield, these bonds will be bullish." The man said in a deep voice, and changed the topic inadvertently, "However, in my opinion, it's best to wait and see first, and I don't recommend taking action immediately."

The meeting lasted for two hours, and the man was quite tired after the whole session.

"Ye, how about a drink?" Someone issued an invitation.

He smiled lightly, "If my stomach agrees." He politely refused, and the other party no longer forced it.

The assistant packed up his things and followed the man step by step. Looking at the busy crowd passing by, he couldn't help muttering, "Mr. Ye, isn't it an economic crisis now? Why are you so busy?"

The man's lips curled slightly, and he replied: "It's not surprising. During economic crisis, people think about how to earn enough money to live, and when they are prosperous, they think about how to make more money to get extra income. Money is always A drive."

The assistant has just graduated from university and has been working with Ye Yizhen for a short time, so listening to him say these words is also ignorant.

but……

She raised her head slightly and glanced at the man walking in front of her.Just from the angle of his profile, this man is already extremely attractive——

After thinking about it, she sighed.So what about charisma?No matter what, it's not her turn anymore.Because Mr. Ye is already married.

The branch is in the core CBD of the Central District. The man rubbed his eyebrows and walked slowly to the office.The office is on the 26th floor, and the wide corridor is covered with a thick layer of carpet. The assistant followed the man while confirming the itinerary.

"There will be another meeting about selling copper tomorrow..."

"And then there's a dinner meeting with the senior management of the Port Department..."

"..."

The man walked into the office, took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie a little, and said to the assistant: "Okay, I see. You can go to work first."

The assistant led the order and retreated. The man looked down at his watch and found that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.It's not too early, but in City B, it's already someone's unshakeable meal time.After thinking about it, he dialed the phone.

"Hey?"

After a simple reply, there was the crisp sound of chewing an apple, and the man couldn't help frowning, "Cook something to eat when you're hungry, don't always deal with fruit."

The other end laughed twice, "I heard people say that eating more fruits during pregnancy is not easy to gain weight, and it is good for postpartum body recovery." Then he sighed softly, "If it wasn't for pregnancy, I would not be so easy Hungry. Besides, I can't smell the oily smoke now..."

After hearing this, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "No, I don't feel relieved if you do this. Otherwise, I'll call Ye Yuntong..."

"No!" Before he finished speaking, she interrupted, "In that case, I'd rather go home."

As if aware of the helplessness of the other party, she added, "It's okay, there is auntie here, besides, isn't there still a week before the due date of delivery? Besides, who told you to go to the hospital at this time by coincidence? meeting."

Back to this issue again.

A few days ago, after class, he suddenly received a call from the GP headquarters, saying that there was an important decision to discuss, and he was asked to fly to Hong Kong immediately.As a senior investment analyst of GP, he is naturally duty bound to receive a salary.It's just that there is someone in the family, and it's really not easy to reassure him.What's more, it was in a state where she was pregnant and her due date was imminent.

Fortunately, there was still a week before the due date, so he was willing to spare three days for the meeting.Thinking of this, he felt a little disturbed, so he dialed the inside line and told his assistant, "Help me book a plane ticket in two days' time."

The little assistant hurriedly responded, and she smiled wryly over there, "Don't be so anxious, there is everything here, even if the child in the stomach wants to come out early, it's no problem."

He was unmoved, "This matter should not be careless."

Naturally, she knew his temperament, so she didn't say much, and just hummed lightly.The siren of the cruise ship could be heard in the distance, and he looked at the brilliant glow of the sky outside the window, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

The third day is meeting, the last meeting.After three days, everyone seemed to have fought a tough battle, and they were all exhausted.

At the end of the meeting, it was decided to suspend the purchase due to the ambiguity of the yield of bonds placed in the Tokyo market, and the excess funds will be purchased in crude oil futures.And the person who made this suggestion——Mr. Ye Yizhen Ye took a breath of relief at this moment, and walked back to the office. Just as he wanted his assistant to arrange a car to the airport, the cell phone that was next to him rang.

He made an apologetic gesture to the assistant, and walked towards the room.The voice from the other end made him frown suddenly.

"Mr. Ye, I want to tell you a bad news and a good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

It was the aunt of the family, who was specially sent by Mr. Ye from the old house after Wen Ran became pregnant.For her, he has always respected her, so he had to choose patiently, "Bad news."

"The bad news is that Wen Ran's due date has been brought forward."

The hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, "What's the good news?"

Auntie smiled, "The good news is that the delivery went well, and she is a daughter."

The first snow of winter suddenly fell in City B today. The heating in the hospital was fully turned on, and with this specially arranged ward, Wen Ran slept very comfortably.

The child was not by her side and was being taken care of by her aunt. She just felt as if she had experienced a dream. When she woke up again, she saw the soft one in her aunt's hand, and suddenly shed tears.

She became a mother, and besides being moved at that moment, what she wanted to do the most was to tell him who was far away in Hong Kong—you see, the baby couldn't wait, and came out early to meet her parents.

Suddenly the door of the room was opened, and a gust of cool wind blew in. She was restless in her sleep, moved, and was held tightly by the corners. Before she could fall asleep again, she felt the familiar breath approaching.She forced herself to open her eyes, and saw that familiar face.

"You..." She wanted to support herself, but she didn't have the strength.He hurriedly caught her so as not to let her fall, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." He hugged her lightly, "I came back straight after I received a call from my aunt, and I went to see the baby just now."

"How is she?" She couldn't help being a little excited when she mentioned the child.

"Hey, like you." He sighed and said.The tone seemed a little lost.

Wen Ran glanced at her, "What can you see now?"

Ye Yizhen smiled faintly, and hugged her again, but she broke away again unexpectedly, "By the way, I just had a dream and thought of a good name."

Seeing her smug smile, he couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

"Winter. Ye Dongdong, how is it?" She looked at him expectantly, as if she was afraid that he would disagree, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to disagree, who made you, father, absent from such an important occasion—"

He couldn't help laughing, "That's right, I've learned to cut first and then play." Facing such a capable wife, how can he refuse——

However, no matter what, no matter what the name is.They will all be his babies.
