fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 13 Su Xiaoyu's Thunderbolt from the Blue (2)
There are countless uncertainties in all acquisition projects. Sometimes everyone has worked hard for a long time, and finally reached the final stage of the project. Everything is in place, just waiting for the signature, but in the end it falls short due to some inexplicable reasons.

Billy talked to her about this once, it was already midnight, and he was typing on the keyboard and gnashing his teeth, "Just for a plane, little fish, plane! Can you believe it? Just because the CEOs of the two sides couldn't agree After the merger of the company, the distribution rights of private jets were negotiated at the last second, and no one was willing to sign the contract. Our months of hard work were in vain!"

"Little fish, come over for a drink. Today our entire group is on vacation, and we will have a celebration reception at the Hyatt tonight." Billy's beaming voice interrupted her memory, and the champagne glass he handed over appeared in front of her eyes. She was so happy, last night The struggle was stuffed into the corner, Su Xiaoyu smiled when he took the cup, his eyes were crooked.

It was the first time for Su Xiaoyu to attend a formal celebration reception. Although he had plenty of time, he still hesitated for a long time on what to wear on the way home.

The investment bank has very high dress requirements, and of course there is a clothing fee, but she spends all of it on the suits she wears every day. Where can she have extra money to buy dresses?
It was only noon when I got home, and the house was in a mess, and the new house was ready to move in. In the past two days, my parents were sorting out things and preparing to pack them, so the house was full of clothes and sundries spread out, and large cardboard boxes scattered about. The space in the rented house is small and there are too many obstacles, so you have to be careful when you walk through the door.

Seeing her come back, my mother was a little surprised, "Xiaoyu, didn't you go to work? Why are you back?"

Thinking that she had good news to announce, Su Xiaoyu immediately forgot the little troubles she had about dressing just now, and replied loudly with a smile, "Dad, Mom, the project I made was successful, a billion-dollar project." , It was completed in two months, amazing!"

"More than a billion..." The first time she heard such a large number, her mother repeated it in a murmur, and then looked back at her wife with some excitement, "Old Su, listen, more than a billion, our little one The fish are amazing."

Dad laughed softly beside him, then walked over and looked at his daughter and said, "Xiaoyu, you are much better than Dad, Dad can't match you."

Su Xiaoyu's recent life is almost busy day and night. It's been a long time since he chatted with his parents like this. Now it's rare to meet them face to face in bright light. Suddenly, he feels that his parents have aged a lot recently, especially his father, who was originally black. Her hair is almost turning gray. Although she is smiling, the wrinkles on her face are obvious and the law is profound, as if she is a different person.

I am busy with work, and recently I often meet Chen Sulei. When I am free, I always feel that I don’t have enough sleep. I often fall asleep when I get home. Now when I see my parents, I suddenly feel ashamed in my heart. When I spoke, I couldn't help hugging their arms.

"How? Actually, it was all done together. I'm just a member of the project team, and I'm not the only one. Dad, Mom, you've been busy with moving recently, aren't you tired? I'm helping Sorry for not being busy."

"This child..." The daughter liked to act like a baby since she was a child, but this time her mother's eyes were red after hearing this, and she couldn't say anything, so she reached out and stroked Xiaoyu's hair.

The phone rang in the room, Su Xiaoyu's ears were sharp, she withdrew her hand and turned around, "I have a call, I'll answer it."

"Don't, don't, just let me pick you up, it must be my old friends." Dad stopped her suddenly, and then walked into the room, walking in a hurry, almost tripped over the box on the ground, and staggered one time.

"Dad, be careful." Su Xiaoyu called out, but her father had already walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

Looking at her mother strangely, Su Xiaoyu asked in a puzzled voice, "Mom, what's the matter with Dad recently? Is there a lot of phone calls? Isn't he not trading stocks anymore? He still has so many things to talk about with those uncles?"

The stock market has been turbulent recently, and Dad seldom talks about stocks like he used to, and he is very happy. In fact, Su Xiaoyu hasn't heard the word "stock" from him for a long time, and he takes it for granted that Dad must have listened to him. He quit the stock market a long time ago, but he didn't have a chance to ask him this question.

"Who knows, I don't care about these things." Mom lowered her head and continued to organize the clothes that hadn't been put in the carton before, "Don't pay attention to him, Xiaoyu, are you on vacation today? It's rare to have a rest, go out and have fun, don't be bored at home. "

When it came to this topic, Su Xiaoyu started to smile again, "Mom, we will have a party at the Hyatt tonight to celebrate the success of the project, what do you think I should wear?"

"Really?" Mom looked at her daughter and nodded, "Our Xiaoyu looks pretty in everything, why don't you go shopping now and buy a new dress. You always go to work, haven't you been shopping in a long time?"

"Go shopping, but there are no discounts now, they are all new products, so expensive..."

Mom was folding clothes, and the family's four seasons clothes were piled up in front of her eyes. Su Xiaoyu lowered her head to help tidy up while talking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she grabbed one of the black dresses and laughed, "No, how about Just wear this one, buy it and wear it once, I rarely have the opportunity to wear this kind of clothes, don’t waste it.”

A black one-piece dress with a well-regulated high collar and no lace at all. It was when Su Xiaoyu hosted a New Year's Party when she was in college, but she really didn't have any clothes to go on stage, so she gritted her teeth and bought it cruelly. Beautiful, but regret wearing it.

So expensive!It took her half a month's living expenses, and she didn't have a chance to wear it at ordinary times. It took her a long time to let it go, and then she forgot about it. I didn't expect to see it again today, and it just came in handy.

It's good to save money again, Su Xiaoyu smiled again.

It was the first time to attend a celebration reception in a high-end hotel. Su Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but she was still looking forward to it. She counted the time to go out, and she didn't arrive at eight o'clock when she arrived at Maoyue.

There was still some time before the reception started, and only the waiters were busy shuttling in the grand and luxurious hall. The lady in hotel uniform saw her professional smile and politely asked her to wait in the lounge next to her.

It was probably the first time they had seen the master who came to the reception so early, and felt that he was entering the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, and Su Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed when he followed.

The sofa in the lounge is large, there are fruit snacks on the coffee table, a stack of the latest magazines on the bookshelf, Su Xiaoyu flips through a monthly financial book to pass the time, the recent global economic turmoil, many so-called experts and senior people Passionate about publishing high-level theories, eloquent and eloquent, each holds his own.Some said that such turmoil is just a temporary adjustment, and the next round of peaks will be ushered in soon, while some were pessimistic, pointing out that the most terrifying financial storm of this century is imminent.

Su Xiaoyu learned these things, and of course knows that the economy has cycles, but she always feels that what is said on paper is far away from her. Now she only cares about whether the housing prices in Shanghai will drop. If so, it will be really expensive for their family to buy last year deficit.

But think about it or laugh, so what?I always have to live, how happy the family is together, and it’s not for investing in real estate speculation, why think so much?

The lounge was quiet and comfortable. Su Xiaoyu hadn't had such a leisurely time with magazines for a long time, and she gradually became engrossed in reading them. When the lady came to ask her to go out again, the reception had already started for a while, and the speech from the president of HPA had already ended.

The hall is full of men and women in fine clothes, the waiters shuttle back and forth with silver trays, the champagne bubbles are fine, and the caviar is served in delicate small dishes, many people stand and chat, laughing constantly, the scene warm.

Unexpectedly, there would be so many people at the reception, Su Xiaoyu was stunned, and stood on tiptoe to find familiar colleagues in the crowd, but it seemed that they were all unfamiliar faces, there were so many people, and the hall was very hot, she was wearing It's a high collar, and after more than ten minutes, I feel dry and hot. After thinking about it, I thought about going to the terrace and blowing some air.

It is almost early summer, the night is cool and gentle, and there are many people on the terrace. Su Xiaoyu has sharp eyes. After walking out of the glass door, the first thing she sees is Bellinin standing by the fence. She is wearing a strapless dress and hugging her elbows Staring at the night scene in the distance.

Seeing the surprise in the acquaintance's heart, Su Xiaoyu immediately walked over to say hello, "Miss Bei."

Bellinin turned his head to look over and smiled when he saw it was her. She had a good appearance, and her makeup was exquisite at this time, making her look even more dazzling.

And Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but let out a "wow" and clapped his hands together in praise, "Miss Bei, you are so beautifully dressed today."

Bei Lining had a tough style when she was working. Su Xiaoyu had seen her fierceness many times in the past two months, and of course she was used to her appearance wrapped in strict suits, but now she is dressed in purple gray The off-the-shoulder dress, the back has a beautiful curve, and the feminine charm can be seen at a glance. I didn't expect to see such a feminine side of her, and Su Xiaoyu was full of admiration.

"Thank you, Su Xiaoyu." She was still smiling, "This dress suits you very well."

Like Tang Zhongwen, Bei Lining always called her Su Xiaoyu by her first name and surname. Sometimes her tone was serious. Coupled with the strong aura of the two of them, she couldn't help but get chills down her back. Now the project has been successfully completed Well, the atmosphere is different after all. Bellining's voice of Su Xiaoyu's voice is very gentle, which is completely different from the past.

Hearing the compliment Su Xiaoyu was embarrassed, looked down at his own attire, and then compared it with others, and knew that Bei Lining's words were just polite words.

"Thank you. Actually, I don't know what to wear this afternoon. I finally found this skirt to save the day."

"Really?" She was a little surprised after hearing this, and gave her another look.

"What's the matter?" Seen confused, Su Xiaoyu lowered her head to check herself again, fearing that something was careless and inappropriate, and she was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"It's nothing, you came alone?" Bellinin's surprised gaze flashed past, and he soon returned to normal, and started chatting with her again.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoyu nodded.

She was a little dazed, and then smiled, "Su Xiaoyu, you did a good job."

"Thank you." It's always a pleasure to receive affirmation, especially if it must come from Bei Lining's mouth. Su Xiaoyu was immediately elated.

The waiter walked by with a tray, Bellining reached out for champagne, put another glass in Su Xiaoyu's hand, touched it lightly, "Let's celebrate, Cheers."

The first success after work is indeed worth celebrating, Su Xiaoyu took a refreshing sip, then bent his eyes and smiled.

The evening breeze was cool, the champagne was mellow, and the busy and hard work finally came to an end.

Soft music came from the hall, and some people danced under the moonlight. Most of the ladies wore little dresses with fluttering skirts, which was really beautiful.

It's rare for Su Xiaoyu to see her. She only felt that her clothes were fragrant and her temples were full of flashy eyes. She couldn't help sighing, "It's so beautiful."
