fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 18
"Ah, I'm listening, I'm listening." The former boss Yu Wei was still there, and Su Xiaoyu immediately came back to her senses. The elevator opened and closed, and she had reached the floor she was going to. She stepped out and continued to listen to the phone.

"Where are you now?" Tang Zhongwen's words were always concise and to the point, without any foreshadowing, and he went straight to the topic when he came up, and the words were simple and straightforward, but Su Xiaoyu couldn't understand at all after listening, and continued to be stunned for two seconds before answering, " what?"

"Where do you work now, Su Xiaoyu." A little dissatisfied with her reaction, Tang Zhongwen called her back together by name and surname again.

Why did he suddenly remember to care about her work? Su Xiaoyu was confused, just about to answer, the elevator door opened again, and when she raised her head, she met Chen Sulei's eyes.

Her mobile phone was still pressed to her ear, and he didn't speak. He glanced at her, then missed her and walked towards the familiar door.

What happened?Chen Sulei, who has always been at ease, was full of gloom and fear, and could no longer care about Tang Zhongwen on the other end of the phone. Su Xiaoyu hurriedly thanked him for his concern, then hung up apologetically, and disappeared towards her current boss direction to go.

The elevator door on the other side also opened, and it was Lao Wu who came out, sweating all over his face. He smiled and greeted her, "Xiao Yu, you are here."

"Well, I just arrived." Su Xiaoyu stopped and nodded, and was surprised to see him dragging his suitcase in the dust, "Master Wu, where have you been?"

"I just went to the airport to pick up Mr. Chen, and I came here directly."

"Airport?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen flew to New York once, Xiaoyu, don't you know?"

"New York? Came here as soon as you got off the plane?" Su Xiaoyu was surprised when he had already walked to the glass door. Chen Sulei had appeared here once on Friday, and it's only Monday today, with dozens of hours of flying back and forth. Time, has he staged a live-action version of flying in the sky these two days?
"That's right, I said that I made an appointment with the two gentlemen from Zhonghe to talk about things here this morning." Old Wu seemed to be very used to this kind of situation, and he was sure of it very quickly, then put down the suitcase, "Xiaoyu, I'm still waiting for you." I have to take Miss Lisa back to the apartment, she just arrived in Shanghai, why don't you bring this in for me?"

"Miss Lisa is here?" The legendary super assistant finally appeared, Su Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah, hold on for another day, and you will be able to breathe a sigh of relief starting tomorrow. Are you exhausted from this period?" Knowing her expectations for the assistant lady, Old Wu encouraged her before leaving.

Although the news brought by Old Wu was exciting enough, but thinking of the gloomy look in Chen Sulei's eyes when he walked out of the elevator just now, Su Xiaoyu's heart drifted unconsciously when he dragged his suitcase into the door.

Why does Master Wu look so ordinary?Can't he see that his boss is in a bad mood today?Walking all the way was nerve-wracking, the corridor inside the door was very short, and before I had time to think about it, I had already walked into the hall. There was no one in the wide space, and the sound of rushing water could be faintly heard in my ears.

This place has everything, the pantry is a semi-open small kitchen, the bathroom is ridiculously large, and you can enjoy the clear sky while washing your hands. Compared with those luxury apartments, there is only one less bed.After more than ten hours of flight, Chen Sulei was supposed to be resting for a while, Su Xiaoyu waited quietly after putting away his luggage, and after thinking about it, he went to the kitchen to boil water and make coffee.

Chen Sulei came out after 10 minutes. He had obviously washed his face, and the hair on his forehead was a little wet, and he looked abnormally young.

The aroma of coffee has already come out. Su Xiaoyu used the coffee powder prepared in the kitchen. It was packed in pure black and had no brand. I don't know where it came from. It was fragrant, rich and warm, filling the whole space.

"Su Lei, do you want coffee?" Su Xiaoyu reached for the coffee cup, and looked back at him while talking.

"Thank you." He walked over to take the cup and put it aside, his voice was a little hoarse, "Where's my suitcase?"

"Oh, here." Su Xiaoyu hurriedly dragged the black suitcase over, watching him reach into the front side pocket, frowning.

Chen Sulei was touching the painkiller, he had a headache.

He hadn't had a headache for a long time, and he thought he wouldn't have it again, but he didn't expect it to start again.

Flying to New York is for Jerry, a ten-year partner, they became directors together from the bottom analysts, and they left the company together to start their own businesses. When they separated, he spoke Chinese. He knocked on the door and left.

On the day BLM collapsed, he received a call from him. He didn't expect that it would be his funeral when we met again. When he watched the ceremony, he remained expressionless, and he didn't feel incomprehensible in his heart.

A person's mental capacity is limited. Astronomical investments suddenly disappear without a trace, the financial situation collapses, and the huge pressure exerted by many investors behind the scenes is overwhelming. Sudden world-weariness under the devastation is the simplest explanation.

In fact, it is understandable, and I also wrote a check and put it in the widow of Jerry, but I started to have a headache on the car to the airport. At first, it was just a dull pain, and then it became severe. His assistant for many years, Lisa, has just finished all his affairs in the United States and returned to China on the same plane as him. She has some experience in such emergencies. Stuff, he somehow slept a few hours on the plane.

It's not that I don't want to rest, but I made an appointment with Zhonghe two weeks ago to discuss the capital injection agreement this morning. He is very optimistic about this company, and there is no precedent for giving up the arranged appointment because of a little headache, so he came directly after getting off the plane .

Come and see her.

It's only been two days since I saw Su Xiaoyu. Of course she hasn't changed much. She is still wearing her same formal suit, her hair is tied up, and she has a clean face. The moment she saw him, there was a look of shock on her face. color, and then quietly followed in.

When he was washing his face, the headache started again. Knowing that the effect of the painkiller had passed, he went out to get the medicine in the suitcase.

The smell of coffee filled the air, she stood in the small kitchen and looked back at him, asking him if he wanted coffee, her voice was very low.

The medicine had already been taken out, and he reached out to get the cup again, the two of them got closer, and when they looked down, they saw Su Xiaoyu's upturned face, with strange things flickering in his eyes, and he was worried and cautious.

Suddenly relaxed, only then did I realize that several nerves in my brain had been tense all the time, and I didn't know when it started.

Strange, the kitchen is not small, but she feels full when she stands next to it, which is inexplicable.

"I have a headache, it's fine." He suddenly forgot many things he had thought about, and he spoke in a gentle voice.

I don't know how long it has been since I heard him speak to me in such a tone, and many messy fragments popped up in my memory, Su Xiaoyu couldn't live up to it, and her nose suddenly felt sore.

She didn't live up to it, and when she spoke again, she had to lower her head and pour water to try to hide her emotions that she shouldn't have, "If you have a headache and can't drink coffee, drink warm water first, I'll make you hot chocolate, do you want to eat? "

Chen Sulei was unpacking the medicine, when he turned to look at her again, "Chocolate?"

"Well, hot chocolate, very good, it won't hurt after drinking it."

"how do you know?"

This - Su Xiaoyu blushes, it can't be said that she makes hot chocolate for herself every time she suffers from dysmenorrhea, right?Can you say that?Can't you say it?Can you say that?Can't say it!
He didn't ask any further questions, took the medicine from the water glass, and only turned his back to her when he walked out of the kitchen, "Go ahead, I'm hungry."

He said I was hungry.

The last time she heard these three words was in his apartment in the West District. In the spacious silver and black kitchen, the steak was sizzling in the butter, and the room was filled with a rich aroma when the red wine poured down. He came over to kiss Her lips fell on her cheeks, and when she spoke, her voice fell into her ears...

Shouldn't have remembered!She put her head down and started preparing the food.

In fact, it is not difficult to meet his requirements. There are a lot of messy ingredients in the kitchen.

Frozen in the wind, poor in debt, and owed so much money to her boss, Su Xiaoyu knows that she is a poor person now, and lives frugally every day.Fortunately, there is everything here, and the working hours are long. She often brings some raw materials to solve her own livelihood problems. The small kitchen makes the best use of everything, so there are enough ingredients for Chinese and Western food.

While making chocolates, the phone rang. There was an extension in the kitchen. Su Xiaoyu put down the half-heated cream and chocolate and reached for it. It was the familiar voice of the building management, saying that the two gentlemen from Zhonghe had come up.
