fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 16 Su Xiaoyu Unemployed (2)
There was no sound in the room, afraid that her mother was still crying, she opened the door and went in, only to find that her mother was sitting by the window alone, looking through a drawer.

"mom?"

When the mother turned around, the tears had been wiped off her face, and her expression became much calmer. She sighed as she watched her daughter, and took her hand to talk.

"Didn't Mom scare you last night? I held it in for too long, I couldn't hold it back all of a sudden, Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."

"Mom!" Su Xiaoyu frowned, "Why are you saying sorry?"

"Let me finish." Mom held on to Su Xiaoyu's hand, "I figured it out after crying. No matter how wrong your father is, if you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken. I have to follow. If you can't pay back the money, there is nothing you can do." , if someone else wants to take over the house, let’s take it, we can’t let you pay off the debt for us. We didn’t have a daughter to let her pay off the debt.”

"How can I do that! Where are you going to live if you don't have a house!" Su Xiaoyu became anxious.

"I thought about it. At worst, go to Jinshan with your dad. He looks at the warehouse. I can do whatever I want. I just wronged you. If you want to stay in Shanghai alone, your parents are really useless. They can't give you a home." Keep it, and you have to find a way yourself." At this point, my mother couldn't help it, tears came down again, and she reached out to wipe it, but she couldn't finish it.

"Mom! What are you talking about! I said I will find a way, I will find a way, please don't be like this!" Sad in heart, Su Xiaoyu finally yelled out.

After she finished speaking, she stood up, turned around and walked out, stopped in front of her father when passing the living room, and repeated her words forcefully, "Dad, don't worry, I will find a way, I will find a way!"

Dad didn't look up, he stared blankly at the TV screen in front of him, Su Xiaoyu's foreign language station was broadcasting news, the announcer's tone was serious, the screen was full of scenes of riots, reporting on the rebels in the Philippines, and then the scene switched to New York , the crowd was noisy, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.

Su Xiaoyu is full of upset, how can she listen carefully, her ears are full of riots, riots, and then bankrupt, depression, crisis, unemployment and other nouns, hearing it at this time makes her even more headache, so she simply stopped listening and strode forward Go to the door, put on your shoes and leave.

What does the riots in the Philippines and American unemployment have to do with her?Even if it's the end of the world, let's wait until she settles the matter in front of her!

Chen Sulei's schedule was very full this day.

The plane arrived in Shanghai in the early morning. After returning to the apartment, he took a shower and slept for a while. He didn't sleep much all year round. He woke up naturally after two hours. When he opened his eyes, there was only a little light from the window, and it was still early.

In fact, he has been very busy recently. Although he announced at the end of last year that he would no longer take on any new projects and returned to China to settle down, there are always so-called old friends who think he is optimistic about the domestic market and come back with such and such relationships. When he came to the door, he took a project proposal with great ambition and began to point out the country in front of him.

Of course, he refused all of them. When those people left, they all looked at him with strange eyes. The meaning in those eyes was very clear. The legend of investment banking, Chen Sulei, actually looked down on everything in this era where money can be picked up by bending over. , It's crazy, it's unbelievable.

In fact, they were all wrong. He is still investing, but contrary to what others have done, he has been short selling in various markets since the end of last year, and has cashed out a large amount of his assets in the United States, and transferred them to Asia through various channels.

Selling short at the best time of the market, even his closest partner in the United States for many years couldn't understand it. After many disputes with no results, he finally walked away angrily without leaving a word.

"Chen Sulei, you will lose this time."

When he thought of this sentence, he had just put down the phone, and it was still the same person on the other end, his voice was much older after a year, and before he hung up the phone, he said, "Su Lei, BLM is down, you won. "

He wasn't surprised by the news, but he was still a little emotional when the expected result came so quickly.

Everything is going well, in fact, he should celebrate at this time, at least open a bottle of wine, but unfortunately no one to share, it is always a little tasteless to be alone.

After putting down the phone, he walked to the window and sat for a while. The phone on the desk kept ringing, and the reminders of the arrival of letters in the mailbox continued one after another. He felt in a trance, as if he was still sitting in his office in New York. The final result of the acquisition case suddenly felt empty, refusing to contact anyone, sitting alone on the window sill and looking down, watching the busy world under the hot sun, a never-ending scene.

Will it really be endless?He is not a prophet, but he did not believe long ago that there is nothing in this world that can last forever.

Don't say forever, even for a long time, he didn't believe it for a long time.

The phone was still ringing, he stood up to answer it, and pressed the TV remote control, the voice on the phone was excited, he listened calmly, his eyes looked at the screen, CNN's live broadcast, the scene was New York, and he just learned where he was The bankrupt BLM employees of the company filed out of the building. The man holding the cardboard box raised his middle finger silently at the camera. Someone next to him was holding a card to protest. The font on the card was bold, expressing anger with only four letters. .

After all, it's as simple as being an American, and it's so simple to vent.

I don't know when BLM's branch in China will announce the news, and I don't know how Su Xiaoyu will react.

After those three words popped out of his mind, he was also taken aback. In fact, he hadn't thought of her for a long time. He was rarely rejected by people, and it was because of inexplicable reasons, but forcing was not his habit. Forget it.

Su Xiaoyu is a very special girl, like a child, but a child who does not dream.He didn't realize this until after she flinched. It's a good habit not to dream, but he was so timid, I didn't expect it.

Or it's because of this contradiction that I am attracted to her. It is really rare for a realistic child who is so smart to know what kind of man he is with just one scaly claw. In time, maybe he can understand him, and maybe he can stand side by side with him. He walks for a long time.

It's a pity she doesn't want him.

The screen on the TV was still going on, and when I swipe my finger on the phone, Su Xiaoyu's name and number popped out, it was quietly on, slowly dimmed, and then on again.

What kind of man is he?It's just that you don't want to promise unrealistic things, and promise things that can't last long, that is the real deception.

That name is still in front of her eyes, she has not seen her for a long time, she is a little afraid of him, she will cry when she is kissed, and ask him repeatedly, "Su Lei, do you like me?" I was disappointed all over the place and refused to see him again in the future.

It's a pity, but forcing is not his habit, forget it.

Thinking this way, his body reacted differently. With a movement of his finger, he had already dialed the call.

Along the way, the old faces and despairing eyes of his parents swayed before his eyes. When Su Xiaoyu walked into the familiar building, he was in a trance, so that he didn't notice the unusual bustle in the downstairs hall.

It was strange that there was no one at the front desk of the company. She was used to the smile of the front desk lady, so she stood there in confusion for a second.

It was even more abnormal when I entered the office area, it was still early, but this place has always been busy 24 hours a day, but today it was as quiet as death, with dull expressions on the familiar faces behind each desk, some people were sitting blankly, some people had already He lowered his head to organize things, and there were cardboard boxes piled up on the ground, which was a mess.

The more she watched, the more flustered she became, Su Xiaoyu unconsciously slowed down as she walked towards her desk. Billy walked towards her. Seeing her savior, she grabbed him and spoke in a confused voice, "Billy, what happened?" ? Why everyone..."

But in the middle of the sentence, she suddenly lost her voice. This is not the first time she saw Billy in the morning. Usually this is when his image is at its worst. He works all night and faces the computer screen all night. Where are you going?But looking at it today, the familiar face was gray and white, the corners of the mouth were drooping, and the wrinkles that were not obvious before appeared, as if a different person overnight.

"Xiaoyu...you also received a call?" It took him a long time to hear him speak, his voice was weak, and he only held a thin envelope in his hand, but it seemed to be holding a huge boulder, hanging on the side and never lifted it up. Pass.

"What phone?" Began to be scared, Su Xiaoyu slowly touched her pocket with her fingers, touched it twice and then fell down. When she went out this morning, she was in a trance. She didn't bring her mobile phone. Impossible to hear.

A phone rang behind him suddenly. The office was very quiet, but the sound was extremely piercing and sharp. Su Xiaoyu is very sensitive to such ringtones now, so he suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned to look at the source of the sound. It turned out to be the phone on his desk. ringing.

When Su Xiaoyu went to pick it up, she found that other people were also looking at her with complicated eyes. Emily's voice was hoarse on the other end of the phone, which was quite different from usual. Let her go to the personnel department now.

There was still no one around to explain to her, Su Xiaoyu dragged her feet to the gate of the personnel department, and someone pushed the door open, it was Yang Yan and Li Jun, both holding an envelope in their hands.

Seeing her crying suddenly, Yang Yan called out miserably, "Little fish." Li Jun didn't speak, and turned his head silently.

The door of the Personnel Department is right in front of you, but Su Xiaoyu suddenly loses the courage to push it open, her feet seem to be filled with lead, and she can't take another step.But my heart moved, it just sank, sinking like a bottomless pit, it was icy cold.

After leaving the company, Su Xiaoyu didn't go home. She wandered around Lujiazui with her little cardboard box in her arms. She kept walking, but she didn't know where she was going. She didn't realize it, and occasionally bumped into someone's shoulder, didn't know how to apologize, and stared blankly at other people's faces, making them speechless.

Gradually the sky was getting dark, the financial district was brightly lit, and the buildings on both sides of the strait were shining across the river. Fingertips are numb.

I don't know how long I walked, but my surroundings gradually quieted down, my feet started to feel pain, and it was difficult to land, I finally had to stop, looking around in a daze, but I didn't go far, and I was still at the corner I was most familiar with.

It was already midnight, the broad street was deserted, and occasionally a few taxis passed by at such a fast speed that they disappeared in a flash.There was no one around, only she stood alone on the corner of the street, looking up, she saw the building where BLM was located, and the crystal light was shining in the dark night.

Such a familiar place, at this moment she felt strange, as if everything was a phantom, twisted and overlapped in front of her eyes.

This is where?Is it where she has worked for the past few months?Is it where she spends more than ten hours a day?So many sleepless days and nights, so much joy, apprehension, anxiety, excitement, success, failure... Is it all a dream?

Suddenly there was a distant customs bell, a dull and long sound, and in an instant, all the lights went out at the same time, and everything fell into disbelief. I couldn't believe it all the time, and I didn't cry all the time, but at this moment, Su Xiaoyu's tears Uncontrollably rushing out, feeling desolate in her heart, she finally couldn't hold back, squatted down, and buried her head in the street corner at midnight and burst into tears.

The sound of parking, the sound of footsteps, someone squatting down in front of her, the familiar scent came, I knew who it was, but I didn't know why, she was too sad to think, she still hugged her knees and shed tears, and she didn't even raise her head .

The man in front of him didn't speak, but he didn't walk away either. After a long time, he reached out and stroked her hair gently.
