fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 30 Su Xiaoyu's Dilemma (1)
If you love someone, why do you need to know more about him? You will feel whether you love him or not. It doesn’t mean that the more you understand a person, the longer you will last. You must know that many people start with misunderstanding, but finally break up because of understanding.

Su Xiaoyu hasn't seen Chen Sulei for a while.

He flew to France alone, and only contacted them by phone. Miss Lisa and Old Wu were a little strange, but Su Xiaoyu was fine.

He is angry?or not?She didn't have time to think about it. She had to work and prepare for the business school entrance exam. She was so busy.

After dinner, Su Xiaoyu went back to her room. There were economics books and a large stack of application forms spread out on the table. After she sat down, she opened the drawer and looked at her passbook in no hurry.

In the financial tsunami, the business of the business school went against the current. This year, almost all well-known business schools in China raised their tuition fees significantly. The money she earned while working in BLM was spent on the house at home, and then entered Su Lei's company, of course, he is not a stingy boss, but she had advanced a large amount of salary before, and it has only been less than a year now, if according to the contract she signed, those salary advances have not been fully deducted.

But she still has savings, overtime pay, equipment expenses, miscellaneous money transferred to her card in various names every month is not a lot, but not too much, enough for her expenses and can convince her to feel at ease take it down.

Well, although he never said it, she knew that he was good to her, but the person who should be the best to her should be herself. She has always understood this truth.

Thinking of the sudden sadness just now, Su Xiaoyu sighed and looked at the passbook again, then closed it and put it back in its original place.

She still has savings, but she is still a poor person, and still can't afford the tuition fees, but it doesn't matter, Su Xiaoyu sat at the table and made a fist, for the scholarship, this time she fought hard.

"Xiaoyu, the red bean soup is ready." Mom's voice sounded at the door, and when she walked over, she sat down beside her with a small steaming bowl with a smile.

"Thank you, Mom." Su Xiaoyu took it with both hands, the freshly cooked red bean soup was warm and sweet, she rolled her eyes and smiled before eating it.

"Still busy applying for business school?" Mom glanced at the pile of things on the table.

"Well, I'm almost ready. I meet the requirements for academic qualifications and work experience. Applicants under the age of 30 can still apply for scholarships, so you don't have to worry about tuition fees. I've calculated everything."

"That's great, but it's hard to get a scholarship, right? What if I can't apply for it then?" Mom worried.

"That's why you have to prepare well." Su Xiaoyu pressed the large stack of preparation materials, "Don't worry, your daughter has not lost anything she has learned in the past, and there are experts in the past two years. Interview, I'm confident they'll pick me."

"It's not easy to get into that interview." Dad had just finished washing the dishes, and at this time he also came over to participate in the discussion, and sighed a little while talking, "Oh, it's still useless for Dad. If the family has money, you don't have to do it if you want to study." It's been so hard."

Su Xiaoyu put down the bowl and hugged her father with both hands and smiled, "Why don't you talk about it, Dad, Mom, the two companies your daughter worked for are amazing, many people around my age who go to MBA are simply If I want to change careers, I don’t have any experience. I’m different. I’ve always been in the financial investment industry, so I’ll attach a very important recommendation letter to my application materials, so I’m sure I’ll be fine for the interview.”

"So powerful?" Su Xiaoyu said with such certainty that the old couple felt full of confidence just listening to it. They were so proud of their daughter that they couldn't help laughing together.

After seeing off her parents, Su Xiaoyu went back to the desk. There was a recommendation letter form in the application bag. She took it out to check, but it was still empty.

Looking at Su Xiaoyu, she sighed again. What she said just now was correct. The two companies she worked for were both great, but BLM has disappeared. As for Su Lei, she didn't think she would have the courage to ask him to leave. France flew back just to write her an impressive letter of recommendation, and his silence was already the best support, and she understood.

Therefore, there is only one person left who can fill this blank. After putting down the form, Su Xiaoyu took a deep breath, reached out to pick up the mobile phone that had been placed on the table, and pressed the dial button vigorously.

Tang Zhongwen was in a meeting when he received Su Xiaoyu's call. It was eight o'clock in the evening, but the meeting room was brightly lit, and everyone was fully focused. Tang Zhongwen was talking about the expected goals of the latest acquisition project. He spoke English very fast, but the sentences were very clear When it comes to numbers, it is even more oppressive to the ears, and everyone sitting below keeps their heads in their pens, lest they miss any important information.

The meeting room was quiet, so when Tang Zhongwen's mobile phone on the table started to vibrate, the sound seemed a little abrupt. He didn't care, and he pressed it off as soon as he lowered his head to continue talking, but after a few seconds, he looked down again. One glance at the phone screen, and then another glance after a few seconds.

Mr. BOSS has never been so abnormal before. Others were full of doubts. Fan Wen was sitting next to him. The man said sorry and strode out.

Everyone in the meeting room looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally everyone looked at Fan Wen with aspirations, and suddenly found that everyone's eyes fell on him. Fan Wen was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand to pretend to be innocent, and then said, "I didn't see anything, real."

The phone was dialed, but it was cut off after one ring. I don't know what happened, and I didn't have the courage to make a second call. Su Xiaoyu held up the phone and stood there for a while.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to put down the phone, it rang and it was Tang Zhongwen who picked it up.

"Su Xiaoyu."

Su Xiaoyu hasn't heard the voice of the former boss for a long time, and she is still as straight as she remembers. When calling her with her first name and last name, she conditioned her back and couldn't help but straighten her back before answering, "Well, Vincent .”

"What's the matter?"

As expected of Tang Zhongwen, he was so straightforward, without even a word of pleasantries, and went straight to the point, Su Xiaoyu answered softly while holding the phone, "Wensen, I have something to trouble you, and I want to ask if you have time..."

She was interrupted in the middle of her speech, and Tang Zhongwen spoke very fast.

"I'm in a meeting now. Let's meet and talk. I have time after 5 pm tomorrow. A secretary will confirm with you later. Do you have any questions?"

It's been a long time since I left BLM, and for a while, Su Xiaoyu couldn't adapt to his usual efficient question-and-answer method, and he stuttered when answering, "No, no problem."

"okay, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow..." She tried her best to keep up, and she hung up the phone before she finished speaking, leaving only the lingering sound of the mechanical phone beeping in her ears.

Before going to bed that night, Su Xiaoyu thought of many past events, the 24-hour non-stop sound of buttons in the bullpen, the noisy three meals a day in the big conference room, Billy who became more and more excited as the night passed, himself and Li Junyang. Yan argues about the appearance of the model, and of course Tang Zhongwen, the boss who seems to never tire.

At that time, she never thought that everything would disappear so quickly...

After thinking about it, she became sad. She looked at the time, then curled up in the bed and dialed the phone. One, two, and before the third ring, she suddenly cut off the power, then turned over and buried her face in the phone. Force yourself to sleep in the pillow.

The next day, Su Xiaoyu arrived at Tang Zhongwen's company on time. In fact, she didn't need his secretary to remind her to know where it was. The Malaysian consortium newly established an investment company in China. This business is not big, and she usually cares about the trends in the industry.

The two buildings are located in the hinterland of the financial district, and the distance is not far away. She didn't call for a taxi, and walked slowly with her bag after leaving the company.

Su Lei is not here, and the recent workload is much less than before. After Miss Lisa came back from Taiwan, she went back to the United States for Christmas and New Year holidays. Master Wu went to the south. In short, she often stays alone in the company recently. I am very lonely.

It’s already December, almost the end of the year. This is the coldest time of the year in Shanghai, and the wind under the building is even biting cold. She was afraid of the cold, so she put her hands in her pockets, bowed her head and tried her best to speed up her pace and trot all the way. Run into the warm building.

Su Xiaoyu was still panting while waiting for the elevator. It was windy outside, her skin was thin, and her face was a little red from the blowing. She felt embarrassed, so she took a deep breath in front of the mirror, at least to stop her panting.

As soon as the elevator door opened, you could see the post-modern front desk of Xingma Investment. The reception lady had stood up and looked at her with a smile.

As expected of a Malaysian consortium, even the front desk is decorated so magnificently, but there are probably a little more reception ladies here, there are at least five or six on the left, right, right... I have never seen such a big battle, Su Xiaoyu I was stunned for a moment.

"Ladies, do you lose weight during meal times? I know you are thinking about the company, but you don't need to save on meals like this. If you are really hungry, the boss will feel distressed."

Someone next to him was talking with a smile in Singaporean Mandarin, and when Su Xiaoyu turned his head, he saw a familiar face looking at her with a smile.

Very familiar, but can't remember who it is, Su Xiaoyu looked at him with a confused expression.

"Miss Su, I'm glad to see you again. How are you?" The man came over to greet her familiarly, and then extended his hand to shake her warmly.

"You are Mr. Fan? Long time no see." Finally remembering, Su Xiaoyu smiled at him.

The ladies who had gathered at the front desk all dispersed, and only one was left answering the phone. After putting down the phone, he walked over and said to Su Xiaoyu very politely, "Miss Su, Mr. Tang is waiting for you in the office." , please go over now."

"Okay." Su Xiaoyu nodded and followed, and waved to Fan Wen when he left. Of course he responded, and he stood still and watched her with a smile on his face.

The front desk lady led Su Xiaoyu through the big office and walked in. Su Xiaoyu was sensitive and always felt that she was being watched all the way. The people here were a little strangely enthusiastic, but other companies had nothing to do with her. She finally lowered her head, Pretend not to see anything.

Tang Zhongwen was flipping through a document when he heard her push the door and looked up, his facial features were profound, and he was backlit, his silhouette was more clearly defined in the shadows, and he saw that she only said three words, "You are here. "

"Well, I'm here. Wen Sen, long time no see." Su Xiaoyu walked over to greet him. He was standing up and walking towards her. The two of them were getting close and there was a big difference in height. She finally walked into him and left. In the shadow of his body, he was completely caged in it unconsciously.

The requirements for the recommendation letter of the business school are very high, and some qualifications of the recommender need to be presented. When Su Xiaoyu came, she was a little nervous. After all, she was just a former subordinate of Tang Zhongwen, and he had no obligation to do it for her. Such a troublesome matter, I didn't expect him to nod directly after reading the materials. The matter went so smoothly, but she couldn't believe it. She didn't know what to say when she looked at him.

He didn't take it seriously, took the recommendation back to the table and sat down, reached out to turn on the computer and talked again.

"I need to check the details of the projects you have completed in BLM to see which part you are responsible for. I can give it to you next week, can I? If you are really in a hurry, you can do it tomorrow or the day after .”

"Thank you, don't be in such a hurry, any time is fine, you are always busy, I have to come over to trouble you, I am so sorry." Su Xiaoyu was grateful.

He had already put his hands on the keyboard, looked at the screen, and replied lightly, "Then I'll give it to you next year."

what--?Su Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, looking at him speechless.

He was still looking at the computer, and two seconds later he suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyebrows and eyelashes blurred, making him even more handsome.

Tang Zhongwen is usually serious, and rarely smiles, and the occasional smile reveals a big contrast, but Su Xiaoyu only wants to sigh when he comes to his senses, it is a feeling that he is completely unlucky.

Boss, just kidding, you have such a personality, I haven't been with you for a long time, at least give me a buffer period.

In order to thank the former boss for his generous help, Su Xiaoyu invited him to dinner that night.

After the proposal, she politely asked Tang Zhongwen what he would like to eat. After listening to this sentence, he looked at her and pondered for a while. Su Xiaoyu now knew the background of the former boss very clearly, knowing that he was extremely rich and wealthy. At this time, he felt uneasy when he saw her background, and began to regret that she had spoken too quickly before. If she was a delicacy at a high price, wouldn't she be eaten to bankruptcy.

It’s not that she’s stingy, it’s just that her growing environment is different. She has seen many people in the past two years, and they would serve bird’s nest and shark’s fin for casual lunch. Since she was a child, she thought that there would be heaven if there was pickled cabbage and yellow croaker soup. Everyone came from different backgrounds.
