fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 3 Su Xiaoyu's happy time (2)
Finally, when the elevator door opened, it was quite empty inside. There were only two men standing there. One was in a neat suit, holding a folder in his hand, talking in a low voice, while the other was dressed casually, with his hands in his trouser pockets, his head turned sideways. Listen, with a calm expression.

The people around him suddenly took a step back like Moses divided the Red Sea, and Su Xiaoyu, who was half a beat behind, was left in the middle, which was very abrupt.

The two men had already come out and brushed past her, a familiar smell wafted through her nose, clean and clear, she suddenly reacted and turned her head to look.

And one of them was also looking back at her, with long and narrow eyes, dark pupils, and when they smiled, they were shining brightly, no matter what, people couldn't move their eyes away.

"It's you." Impressed by him, Su Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised, the people around her had already started to walk into the elevator, fearing that the previous tragedy in the subway would repeat itself, she waved to him and turned around before going to the elevator before she had time to say a word catch up.

Coming in late, she was squeezed on the outermost side, the elevator door slowly closed in front of her, and the last thing she saw was him, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at her with a slight smile, even more radiant.

It was exactly nine o'clock when I arrived at the company, the receptionist already knew Su Xiaoyu, she nodded when she saw her from afar, handed her badge, and pointed to the conference room at the end of the corridor.

There are already two people sitting in the conference room, a man and a woman, and they don't talk to each other. As soon as Su Xiaoyu sat down, someone pushed the door in again. It was Emily and a man in his forties, with brown hair and eyes, American. , Stanley, Scheduling Director of BLM China Branch.

After Stanley walked to the head of the long table, he looked around at several interns, and then nodded with a smile, "Welcome to BLM, everyone. The next three weeks are your training time. After the training, I will cooperate with other project managers to conduct training. You conduct inspections and assessments, and those who pass will be assigned to the project team to start working, is there a problem?"

Examination and evaluation?Su Xiaoyu was puzzled, before he could speak, someone on the left was the first to speak. It was a young boy in a suit and fluent in English. "Excuse me, what are the contents and standards of the examination?"

"Forgive me for not revealing this right now. The only thing I can tell you is that everyone's performance during the three-week training process will be recorded in the scope of assessment and evaluation. I hope everyone pays attention to their performance at every moment." Stanley replied patiently .

Su Xiaoyu wanted to speak again, but this time it was the girl on the right who took the lead, and her voice was crisp, "We have signed a three-month probationary agreement before. If we fail the test, will the agreement be invalid?"

"Of course not." Stanley said succinctly, "Well, this is Emily, the manager of our personnel department. She is in charge of training matters. I will give you a detailed explanation later, so I will stop here." Leaving the first place, Emily sat on the right hand and didn't say a word. At this moment, she looked at Su Xiaoyu and smiled, "Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

The eyes of the two people around her turned around, and even Stanley looked at her. Of course Su Xiaoyu has a problem. The question she is most concerned about now is—how long will the salary of the probationary period be paid?But to be a straightforward person is to have a straightforward personality, and to be too straightforward is thirteen o'clock. Although she is young, she is not a fool after all. She swallowed the words and changed her sentence, "I just want to ask, what should we do next?"

Emily smiled approvingly, turned to turn on the projector on the table, and began to explain the training plan.Stanley had already left, and felt that he was swept by the remaining four eyes, Su Xiaoyu turned his head left and right, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled back.

The whole morning was the training of the company's internal rules. It was already past 11:[-] when we came out of the conference room. There were interactions during the training, and the three finally got to know each other.

Li Jun is a returnee who graduated from a prestigious school. He looks like he has been used to being excellent all his life, and he speaks with a positive tone.Yang Yan is a typical Shanghai girl. She can see that her family background is very good. The fountain pen she took out is black and shiny, with a simple white star on the cap.

Emily took them to the analyst's office area. The office area was very large. There were people busy behind each desk. The one sitting on the outermost edge stood up and walked out. The cuffs of the suit were rolled up to the elbows, and the hair was disheveled and bloodshot eyes. , waved casually as he walked past them, and then continued straight to the gate.

Seeing this greeting for the first time, Su Xiaoyu and the three of them were stunned, but Emily smiled, looked at the man's back and introduced, "Billy, a senior analyst, will also give a speech next week. You do some training. He is working on the BCO project, and he stayed up all night last night, which is normal, and you will understand when you do more projects in the future."

After Li Jun and Yang Yan sat down, they started to read the thick training materials without talking much. Su Xiaoyu looked around carefully, and there were many colleagues around him who were in the same situation as Billy.All of them had bloodshot eyes, their hands were flying over the computer keyboard, and there were thick documents and materials on the table, looking extremely busy.

Their appearance didn't affect Su Xiaoyu's mood at all. She studied finance, and some seniors and sisters entered similar companies. When he got to work, he shook his head, and said, "Don't mention that place, women are men's servants, and men are livestock servants." Even so, there is a very proud light in their eyes. Those who are a few years younger , Looking at the past, I feel that my eyes are shining with stars.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyu couldn't help being excited, and happily pressed the desktop, thinking that now he has become a new member of them, the feeling is really amazing.

When it was lunch time, Su Xiaoyu put down the half-finished simulation database and looked at the side.Li Jun and Yang Yan didn't move. Watching the others leaving one after another, she thought for a while and stood up while grabbing her bag, "Well, do you want to have dinner together?"

Li Jun was studying the NASDAQ index, and Yang Yan was working on the simulated database. Hearing this, they both looked up at her and shook their heads at the same time.

Su Xiaoyu is cute and has been very popular since she was a child. It was the first time she ran into a wall like this. At this moment, she was a little embarrassed to stand there. After thinking about it, she smiled, "Okay, I brought the sandwiches I made, you guys eat them. Do not eat?"

"Thank you, I'm not hungry yet." Li Jun finally replied, and then Yang Yan also spoke, this time with a smile, "Su Xiaoyu, I'll eat after I finish this, but today I want to go to the podium next door Restaurant, how about you come with me?"

The restaurant on the podium... It is said that one meal will eat up half a month of her family's mortgage... Su Xiaoyu slowly drew a few black lines in his heart, the corners of his mouth were still cocked, and finally answered her with a smile , "Next time, I brought my own lunch today."

The weather was still fine, and after walking out of the building, the sun shone on his face, Su Xiaoyu raised his head and squinted his eyes, and sucked back the breath that he wanted to exhale.

It was very quiet in the green space. She sat in the familiar place under the shade of the tree, and the water was rippling in front of her. When she opened the lunch box, she suddenly glanced to the side. The bench was empty, and she felt that she had done something stupid. After finishing, Su Xiaoyu smiled to herself, then lowered her head to lift the lid.

Just as the first sandwich was put to his mouth, there was a voice above his head, a very low male voice, with a slight smile, "Excuse me, can I sit down?"

The voice came so suddenly that Su Xiaoyu was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw that familiar face, looking at her in a good mood.

"It's you." Feeling a little indescribably happy, Su Xiaoyu moved the lunch box to the side generously, "Sit down."

He circled around the back of the chair and sat down. As the distance got closer, he smelled the familiar light fragrance again. On such a cold day, he was only wearing a thick woolen coat. can see.

"First day of work?"

"Well, do you want to eat?" It's already cooked, and I met him again in the morning, thinking he is very kind, Su Xiaoyu smiled and pushed the lunch box over.

"Thank you." He was not polite, and took one out of his hand, glanced at her breastplate, and smiled again, "Xiaoyu? What an interesting name."

Only then did she realize that she forgot to take off her badge, Su Xiaoyu laughed, and then asked, "Then what's your name?"

He was putting the sandwich to his mouth, when he heard this, he smiled sideways, "Call me Su Lei."

"Your surname is also Su?" She opened her eyes wide, and when she turned her face sideways, she saw the gray shirt cuff that was exposed when he raised his hand, and there were three slanted hand-embroidered letters juxtaposed near his wrist.

She had no idea about men's clothes, but at this moment she also knew that his clothes were worth a lot.The last time he was wearing a suit, she only knew he looked good, and everyone in the financial district was dressed like this, so she foolishly guessed that he came for an interview.I can see clearly this time, and then connect with the scene in the morning, the fool will know that he is by no means an ordinary white-collar worker, and he is completely in two worlds with her.

"Going here for lunch alone after entering the company?" He didn't answer the question, and finally put the small piece of exquisite sandwich into his mouth, and then rolled his eyes at her, looking relaxed and satisfied.

He relaxed his posture, kept smiling, did not answer questions, and asked questions that made the other party very introspective. Such high-ranking negotiation skills are what Su Xiaoyu tried hard to steal from him in the long years of dealing with this man. One of the countless goals of the teacher.

But now, of course, the fledgling Su Xiaoyu hasn't thought of that much, and his words touched her mind again, making her forget the question she asked before, shrugging her shoulders helplessly, and briefly describing what happened before. Condition.After saying a few words, I felt that I shouldn't have done it. I shook my head and smiled, "I'm not complaining, but I just can't figure out why. Leave me alone. It's annoying to hear this, right?"

"No." He answered very simply, "You want to know why? Let me guess, you had a good conversation with the current training director during the interview?"

"how do you know?"

He smiled, "Guess."

Guess can be so accurate?Su Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose.But she is a smart person, after thinking about what he said, she suddenly realized, "You mean, they think Emily is very special to me?" After speaking, she began to wonder, "I met her on the day of the interview, today It’s only the second time I saw it, just like everyone else. She spoke to everyone in the same tone, that is, she asked me one more question in the morning, asking me if I have any questions? Is this special?”

"What did you say?"

"Oh, the other two interns asked about the content of the assessment and whether it would affect the contract. Stanley answered them all. I didn't have anything to ask. Then I said something, what should we do next?"

After talking for such a long time, Su Xiaoyu felt embarrassed. She usually didn't talk so much, but when she was with this man, she couldn't hold back her words.Perhaps it was because he looked at himself, with a normal expression, but there was a smile in his eyes, and his short sentences always made her feel encouraged, so she answered a lot without knowing it.

He nodded, "You are different from what they said."

"How could it be the same? We are not parrots." Su Xiaoyu replied immediately.

When he laughed, Su Lei's eyes were long and narrow, and he was majestic when he was not smiling, but when he smiled, the corners of his eyes were curled up, as if they were different people.

"I mean what you express is different. The questions they pursue are all about themselves. In contrast, your answer is very flattering. People will instinctively reject people and things that are different from themselves. That's why you are now That's why I'm sitting here eating lunch alone, am I right?"

"It's like this..." Su Xiaoyu was stunned, looking at the man in front of her, she was speechless.

She analyzed the situation so thoroughly with her simple description, she was completely convinced.

The phone rang, and it was Su Lei's.He didn't answer, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"Are you going to be busy?" Su Xiaoyu asked.

"Well, I have something to do in the afternoon." He stood up, and suddenly pointed to her small lunch box, "I'll take another piece, can I?"

"Oh, haven't you had your lunch yet? Take it all." She was of course going to reciprocate the kind words she offered just now, and Su Xiaoyu looked sincere when she held the lunch box.

"So good?" He really laughed this time, "It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I really want to chat with you for a while. I know that there is a shop nearby that makes very authentic tiramisu, and girls like it." He said He lowered his head and spoke, his pupils appeared deeper in the shadows, his swirl-like eyes.

Forgot what he answered, Su Xiaoyu was still sitting there in a daze for a long time after he left, what did he mean by that sentence just now?Is it to show her favor?Is he interested in her?Or tease her?
After chewing on one sentence for a long time, he frowned at the end, what do girls like?A man like him must be surrounded by beautiful women, and he is used to making girls happy.

Thinking of this, she completely came back to her senses, stood up and pulled the hem of her clothes, ready to go back to the company full of energy.

How could there be so many prince charmings in this world, even if there was her, she would be the one who was stepped over by the horse's hooves, forget it, she is a little fish, it is better to keep her feet on the ground.

The work of analysts is trivial and busy. Although they are still in the training stage, Su Xiaoyu and his three newcomers have a daily schedule that is still full of needles. Senior analysts and managers take turns to work from morning to night Starting with the basic financial statements, I kept instilling practical knowledge on how to build financial models and valuation analysis to them. I wish they would become a new force in the next second, and start sharing the pile of complicated and boring numbers in three minutes. Work.

Su Xiaoyu studied finance, but the knowledge in school is useless here, so she is thirsty for knowledge every day, and feels that there is not enough time. It is usually after seven or eight o'clock when I get home, and I have to eat something in a hurry. Fighting at the table with training materials is more vigorous than taking the university entrance exam.

She is motivated, and she has to pay tuition fees when she is admitted to university, but these are the ladders for her to realize her dream in the future.She still has to repay the mortgage, buy a house, repay the mortgage, and buy a house again!This is the real book with its own house of gold, so even though the numbers on the snow-white pages are extremely boring, she read it with great enthusiasm.

As for interpersonal relationships, I always kept Su Lei's advice in mind. In the following days, Su Xiaoyu repeatedly trained herself to think for three seconds before blurting out any thoughts. She brought her own lunch, and sometimes she would bring some of her own. The cakes and desserts I made, my colleagues are fascinated by the occasional taste, and they are all smiling after eating.

Afterwards, everyone got to know her well, and even the two students at the same level who were obviously repelling her at the beginning were defeated by her signature chocolate soft-hearted cake after two days of persistence, and gradually got along well with her.

Everything is fine, but she has never met that Mr. Su Lei who never sees the end.After integrating into the new team, she no longer needs to eat alone, but she can't help but go to the green space every few days, but every time she has only the clear water in front of her and the quiet tree shadows to accompany her to finish her lunch .

After two or three weeks she began to feel that it was just a small episode in her life, a chance meeting with a man, once, twice, and then, and then it was gone.

If it’s gone, it’s gone, anyway, it doesn’t have any impact on her current life, except that occasionally she unconsciously looks for a black sweater among a large group of suits and leather shoes when commuting to and from get off work, except that she can’t help running to enjoy it every few days Apart from lunch for one person, it has no effect.

What's more, even if it affects her, she doesn't have time to think about it. Three weeks later, Su Xiaoyu's internship training is over, which means that she can finally join the official project team with justification and justice, and start to experience women as men and men as animals. life with.
