fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 40 Su Xiaoyu's mixed flavors (2)
Tang Zhongwen's questions and answers with her were very simple. After he said a few words, he was silent for a few seconds, and the phone rang again. Knowing that he was busy, Su Xiaoyu sincerely thanked him again, and then wanted to end the call, but he didn't wait for her. He opened his mouth, and his voice came from the other end.

"Su Xiaoyu."

"Ah?" She was about to close the phone, but suddenly she heard him call her by name and surname, and she answered hastily.

But he stopped talking, the phone on the other end was still ringing, even Su Xiaoyu couldn't stand it, just wanted to urge him to answer it, but suddenly the phone was cut off, and he heard a familiar voice again, yes Fan Wen's voice was very loud.

"You're here, Huicheng's people are waiting, they haven't come yet."

Not knowing what happened on the other end, Su Xiaoyu took the initiative to bid farewell again, and said politely, "Vincent, please be busy, I'll hang up first, thank you later." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

The next day, Su Xiaoyu continued to read at home. The house was empty. My aunt who lived in Shaoxing had her [-]th birthday. My parents went to celebrate her birthday together, and I went to visit my relatives. I left last week. can't come back.

Even Chen Sulei was not there. He took Miss Lisa to the south two days ago. He no longer took her everywhere as he did in the past, and only let her prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

In fact, all these changes were what she wanted, but when they were realized, she felt mixed feelings.Later, Su Xiaoyu comforted herself, maybe it's not good for two people to meet each other day and night, the so-called deep love doesn't last long, if this process can be delayed by a little less relative time, that's also good.

There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, as long as Chen Sulei is in Shanghai, she is always with him every day. Even the day before he went to the south, she was still reading in his apartment until late. Later, she simply did not go home. Anyway, at home No one was there either.

Chen Sulei's phone rang in the middle of the night, he answered it and listened to a few words before getting up and leaving the bedroom.

She was asleep at that time, his voice was low, and she had no impression at all. Later, when he got up to leave, her cheek was originally pressed against his shoulder socket, but she finally became conscious in a blink of an eye, and wanted to open her eyes. His face warmed up, but his palm lightly stroked her, comforting gestures, and a voice as low as coaxing her, saying, "It's okay, you go to sleep."

She was really sleepy, she thought she was dreaming, she didn't even open her eyelids, she muttered and fell asleep again, only to wake up to find that he had really left and never came back, and that side of the sheet was cold.

When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw that he was still working. The huge dining table was covered with laptops and documents. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and smiled. Seeing her say good morning, he said that he was leaving soon, and asked her to drive there later. company.

He was so busy, but she slept until the sun was up. Su Xiaoyu felt ashamed, walked over and asked, "Su Lei, why didn't you wake me up? What do you want me to do?"

In fact, what she meant was, as an employee who has basically been living for nothing recently, does she need a little work to prove herself...

He nodded, and she was overjoyed. She didn't expect him to say, "Let's make breakfast, I'm hungry."

Making breakfast... Su Xiaoyu was sad, mourning in his heart that his ability to work had been completely neglected, and wanted to speak again after the grief was over, but he had already lowered his head and continued to work.

It was only after six o'clock, it was still early, and the winter morning light was thin, his lowered profile looked softer in this light, and the faint shadows under his eyes could not be caught without careful attention.

She still wanted to argue for her own ability to work, but she tried hard for a long time without saying a word, and finally turned on her toes into the kitchen and started cooking breakfast.

Cooking food always makes her feel peaceful. No one is talking in the room. Occasionally, she can hear the soft sound of pages being turned, and the sound of keys being clicked, mixed with the scent of food slowly wafting out, a wonderful blend.

She gradually felt dazed, and then she couldn't help it anymore, and turned to look at him again. He was still looking at the documents with his head down, and suddenly spoke without raising his head. His voice was very weak, but there was a smile in his eyes. Out of the corner of the eye, like a streamer.

"Little fish, are you looking at me?"

She was caught for peeping, and she was immediately embarrassed, her face was a little hot.Turning his head back to continue his work, trying to hide it, he said, "No, you read it wrong."

He was kind and kind, "OK, I was wrong." There was a faint smile in his voice.

Not wanting to look back, she concentrated on the breakfast at hand, the heated butter in the frying pan sizzled, and the golden egg liquid gradually took shape as it turned. In the morning full of egg fragrance, behind her was the man she loved, It was supposed to be a good time, but she gradually felt sad. She knew why, but she didn't know how to restrain herself. Later, she simply gave up, and she even looked down on herself.

Chen Sulei returned to Shanghai two days later, Master Wu went to pick him up, and Su Xiaoyu asked to go with him.She arrived early and stood in the first row while waiting at the exit. She saw Chen Sulei coming from the other side of the passage from a distance, and talked with the people around her while walking. She seemed a little surprised when she saw her, and then smiled. So far away, there is an illusion that there is light.

Unable to live up to expectations, Su Xiaoyu was immediately dazzled for a moment, and then saw the man walking beside Su Lei also turn his face and look at her carefully.

Su Lei didn't come back alone. The middle-aged man who was traveling with him was dressed formally and brought a few assistants with him. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary businessman. When he shook hands with her, he smiled warmly and introduced himself, saying his surname was Ren. Ren Huicheng.

Chen Sulei smiled, and when he spoke, his fingers fell on her hair, "This is Su Xiaoyu, just call her Xiaoyu."

Ren Huicheng, the chairman of Huicheng Industry, the originator of the environmental protection lighting industry, is one of the best figures among entrepreneurs in the south. Although Su Xiaoyu has been a bit of a retreat recently, he has heard his name before, and Huicheng, the two Words have a feeling that can't be expressed. After sitting in the car, I couldn't help thinking hard all the way.

Master Wu drove the car to Shangri-La, Ren Huicheng got out of the car with his assistant, shook hands and said goodbye with a smile, "Su Lei, I'll meet you for a drink tonight, and Xiaoyu is coming too, don't miss it."

Su Lei nodded, glanced sideways at Su Xiaoyu, and teased her with a slight smile when he spoke, "Xiaoyu, what do you wear at night? Or a suit?"

Wearing a suit for a reception?Su Xiaoyu had been thinking hard about the word Huicheng along the way, but she didn't understand it for a while, but when she recalled it, her heart suddenly thumped, and she finally remembered it.

The reception at eight o'clock in the evening was on the 36th floor of Shangri-La. Chen Sulei was in a surprisingly good mood. After leaving the hotel, he was not in a hurry to enter the company and asked Master Wu to drive directly to Hang Lung.

Su Xiaoyu seldom goes shopping, but he is no stranger to the famous Hang Lung.I probably know his intention of bringing her here, it should be for the evening reception.

It was rare for him to bring her to attend such a formal occasion, so naturally she had to dress formally. She usually wears professional suits, and the only small dress she bought was when she was a student, so she couldn't wear it out no matter what she thought.

Hang Lung Plaza, the beige marble floor is shining brightly, and everyone around you is dressed in fashion. Walking in the atrium corridor, you can see brand-new paper bags with big-name LOGOs all over your eyes. They dazzle in the hands of men and women of all colors, and the spotlights hit those behind the glass wall. On the goods of different colors, the light is refracted, and no matter how concentrated you are, you feel that you can't see clearly.

She was led forward by him, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, she walked into a luxury shopping mall alone in that hot city in the south. It's incredible that everything is so similar in different places.

Chen Sulei took her and turned straight to CHANEL on the side. The store is only black and white, but it still feels luxurious.The wall is bright, and the latest season's new clothing series is played on the embedded LCD screen. The slender model walks briskly on the catwalk, with one hand in his pocket, and his face is expressionless when he turns around.

I seldom come to this kind of place. Su Xiaoyu is not used to it. After walking in, she has been very quiet. Unexpectedly, there are many people in the store. A group of women with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents are excitedly trying on clothes and shoes, and shouting to their companions to see the effect , in full swing.

The fitting room is very comfortable, with soft leather low stools, two pairs of classic black and white leather shoes neatly juxtaposed next to it, and the pearl white dress was hanging under the spotlight just now, Chen Sulei only said that this one looks good , the young lady smiled and held it in front of her.

In the spacious fitting room, there is a whole wall covered with mirror surface, the lighting is soft, the inner lining of the dress is made of unknown material, it is smooth and soft, it sticks to the body as if it were nothing, after putting it on, Su Xiaoyu stood in front of the mirror and stared blankly. After staring at himself for a long time, his palms turned cold, only to realize that he reached out to touch himself in the mirror unknowingly.

Later, the young lady packed up all the things and sent them to her in big and small packages for her to look over one by one. The wives hadn't left yet, but it was much quieter.When leaving, Chen Sulei walked in front, she followed a little slower, he stopped and waited, then turned to her side, bent his elbows naturally, he had all kinds of eyes behind him, he didn't want to delve into what others were thinking , Su Xiaoyu took a step forward, put his hand in his elbow, and left this place without looking back.

In the evening, Chen Sulei drove to Shangri-La.

Still not quite used to long dresses, Su Xiaoyu pinched the skirt when closing the door, gasped and let out a low cry when resuscitating.

Chen Sulei was starting, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head and asked her, "Is it caught? Does it hurt?"

She held the skirt and shook her head, "It's not me, it's the skirt."

He laughed, "Then what's your name?"

"I'm afraid it will be broken." She lowered her head to check again, and put it down after making sure that there was no damage.

"Buy another one if it breaks down, there is still time." He turned the car into the avenue and said casually.

Wanting to breathe again, Su Xiaoyu felt sad for the cruel reality that ordinary people cannot be understood by rich people.

After getting on the elevated car, he turned his head to look at her again, then bent the corners of his eyes because of the straightforward expression on her face, and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair before speaking.

"Your parents are back?"

"Not yet." Su Xiaoyu answered truthfully. After thinking for a while, he seized the time to be alone and asked, "Su Lei, do you want to cooperate with Huicheng Industry to invest?"

"It doesn't count." He replied as always.

I just heard these two words on Tang Zhongwen's phone yesterday, ever since I thought of them, Su Xiaoyu has been feeling hazy and uneasy, so she couldn't help asking again.

"What's that? You want to buy their shares?"

There were a lot of cars on the elevated highway, so he gave directions, then looked at her, his eyes moved, but he answered simply, "Well, I like Huicheng, what's wrong? I'm so interested all of a sudden."

She didn't know how to answer, so she just shook her head and smiled, "No, let's chat casually, then you want to hear what I have to say?"

He retracted his eyes, looked ahead and smiled, easily overtook a few cars while speaking, and turned into another lane, "It's almost Chinese New Year, what gift do you want?"

"..." I didn't expect him to say that, Su Xiaoyu looked down at herself, and then sighed, "No, it's enough. Su Lei, if you let my parents know the price of these things you bought for me today, I will definitely say that it is better to discount it and buy a house.”

After hearing this, he laughed and winked at her again, "Sorry, I was wrong, and I will discount it next time."

He hadn't joked with her like this for a long time, Su Xiaoyu was unprepared for a moment, and was dazzled by his laughter, and he spoke again after laughing.

"Like it?"

She nodded of course, "I'm a woman, of course I like it, but it's too expensive, if you didn't pull me over, I wouldn't buy it and wear it."

He was quiet for a while, and then he spoke after a while, "Is it expensive? If I'm not here, you can swipe your card."

He gave her a card. It was black and thin. It is still lying in the deepest part of her wallet. It has never been used. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, she was at a loss for a moment before answering, "Oh ,I forgot."

He had a half-smile, "Where's that car? You forgot too?"

"..." She was stunned, then lowered her head and spoke softly, "That car is so good, I haven't used it yet, if my parents see it, they will think it's weird."

"Then when is it not strange?" He continued to drive, his voice smooth as water.

She remained silent, and pressed her lips tightly, fearing that she would say something that would shame her for the rest of her life.

He is Chen Sulei, she is Su Xiaoyu, two worlds, two lives, maybe she doesn't understand the truth and the truth of being a woman, but she always asks herself, why should she enjoy all that he has given?This thought haunted her from beginning to end, causing her to repeatedly contradict and make her uneasy. Now that he asked himself this way, how did she ask her to answer?

Say what?Said that she couldn't be satisfied, said that she regretted agreeing to his request at the beginning, said that she had a deep understanding of the taste, said that she could no longer be satisfied with the status quo of worrying about gains and losses, that she had only one thought in her heart, to promise forever, and even wanted to— —to be his legitimate wife?

Su Xiaoyu was silent all the way, and Chen Sulei didn't ask any more questions. The carriage became quiet, and even the lingering chanson became indistinct.

After the car turned out of the tunnel, it drove directly into the path leading to the basement of Shangri-La. This is the place Su Xiaoyu is most familiar with. On a rainy day, she was scared by a car that stopped suddenly and almost slipped, and then saw herself several times. The man I met by chance smiled at her while sitting in the car.

Memories made her eyes soft, and when she saw Su Lei looking at her from the side, she turned her face away with just one glance, the front of the car had already turned into the slope leading to the underground garage, the lights in the passageway were separated, his face was sunk in the shadows, always Can't see clearly either.

Ren Huicheng was already in the venue, talking with several people, when the assistant beside him saw Chen Sulei reminding him in a low voice, he turned around and nodded to them with a smile, and then spoke to the two men standing beside him, Only then did a young man greet him with a wine glass.

The two men who participated in the conversation before remained at the same place, facing Su Xiaoyu from a long distance away, one was smiling, the other was serious, she could see clearly that it was Fan Wen and Tang Zhongwen .

She walked in side by side with Chen Sulei, looked up and saw the man beside her smiling, facing Ren Huicheng who was walking over, she shook hands with him in a warm voice, and only said one word.

"Mr. Ren, met an old friend?"

"Not counting." Ren Huicheng laughed and introduced the young man he brought with him, saying that he was his eldest son, and then turned around and asked Tang Zhongwen and the others to come over, "Do you need my introduction? Mr. Tang and Mr. Chen should know each other, right?" , my son who is not good enough just mentioned it to me this morning. It turns out that Mr. Tang’s company is also interested in Huicheng’s asset restructuring. I think since everyone has the same idea, why not sit down and have a chat, Mr. Chen, what do you say? Yes or no?"

Ren Huicheng spoke beautifully, but even Su Xiaoyu could tell what he meant. She had been with Chen Sulei for a long time, and she used to watch him negotiate with others. Su Lei was a natural negotiator. She has never made an uncertain decision, this is the first time she has seen his plan change temporarily, and the reason for his plan change has a lot to do with her. Every time she appeared alone with her, Chen Sulei bumped into her former immediate boss Tang Zhongwen!

It was confusing, Su Xiaoyu didn't respond, Ren Huicheng was still in a daze when he greeted her, his shoulders sank, it was Su Lei's hand, gently wrapping her around, she just came back to her senses, looked up and saw Fan Wen and Tang Zhongwen had already walked over, and the men started talking. Everyone here has been immersed in the mall for many years, no matter how turbulent the secret is, they always come and go, and the atmosphere is actually not bad.

But Su Xiaoyu is sensitive, and always feels uneasy in his heart. He secretly looked at Chen Sulei again, he was still smiling, but his long and narrow eyes were dark, and the depth was still bottomless under the light.

Later, someone came over to say hello. Ren Huicheng had a lot of face, and there were a lot of people at the reception, so when everyone dispersed, Su Xiaoyu felt relieved.

Someone patted her on the shoulder, turned her head to see Yang Yan, looked at her with a smile, and exclaimed again, "Xiaoyu, you are dressed so beautifully today."
