Through Thick and Thin

Lu Chuiqing stared drowsily at the computer screen, which displayed K-line charts and quarterly reports of several stocks in rows. He propped his head up, his eyelids were a little twitching, but he still held a pen in his hand and tried his best to take notes.

It is now 11:30 in the evening, because the group research will give a summary speech next week, and there is a lot of information to be sorted out, so Lu Chuiqing has to spare time to work overtime.

It's just that he was really sleepy, the arm supporting his head slid forward, and the back of his hand accidentally touched the switch of the lamp, and the light flickered.This made Lu Chuiqing wake up a little bit, he raised his head, and happened to see the handwritten card pasted on the lamp holder of the desk lamp.

Seeing the word "Congratulations" in flying and beautiful handwriting, Lu Chuiqing was stunned for a while.After regaining consciousness, Lu Chuiqing took a deep breath. Anyway, it would not be efficient to continue working now, so it is better to rest early.

He patted his cheek, turned off the computer and desk lamp, and stretched himself.

After careful preparation by the team in charge of Lu Chuiqing, this week's presentation report went very smoothly. The analysts of another fund company participating in the project cooperation and several managers who came to observe were highly evaluated, and Lu Chuiqing was considered a complete success. Completed the first organizational work I was competent for.

The beginning of August is the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of Zhongming Fund. The company has been intensively preparing for the anniversary activities early on. The process is very grand, and many well-known corporate executives in the investment and financing industry are specially invited to participate.

Everyone in the company is looking forward to it, not only to have a day of rest and relaxation, but also because it is a rare opportunity to meet some big names in the industry that are not usually seen.

After Song Wenxin learned who the guests who participated in the anniversary celebration were, Lian Lian and Lu Chuiqing sighed for a long time. Everyone's deeds could be explained clearly, with admiration and admiration written all over their faces.

"Hey, do you know Guo Chongren? The guy who earned 100 million from 8000 million in rubber futures the year before last is coming this time." Song Wenxin clicked his tongue twice, "He's only in his early thirties. I’m still a classmate, and I recently held a seminar on futures. These people are born, they’re too good, and I dare not invest in futures even if I’m given so much money.”

Lu Chuiqing's understanding of futures is only superficial, and he never thought about doing it. The risk of this thing is too great, and ordinary people can't afford it.But when Song Wenxin mentioned Xiao Zhan, he couldn't help thinking about it. The last time he saw Xiao Zhan seemed to be two months ago.

Needless to say, Xiao Zhan will attend Zhongming Fund's anniversary celebration. Lu Chuiqing nodded in agreement with the eloquent Song Wenxin, but he was thinking about Xiao Zhan in his heart.

Song Wenxin: "...Do you think so?"

Lu Chuiqing returned to her senses, and said in a daze, "Huh?"

"I said that the company's anniversary celebrations, our small employees are actually just a foil, right?" Song Wenxin didn't care about Lu Chuiqing's sudden distraction, and continued, "I was in the last company, and there were still people during the anniversary celebrations. Arrange to play with those big bosses... Oh, forget it, let’s not talk about this, it’s hard to say.”

Lu Chuiqing vaguely knew what he wanted to say, and smiled helplessly.

On the day of the anniversary, except for the staff involved in the anniversary process, other employees of the company will be on vacation in the morning and arrive before 02:30 in the afternoon.When Lu Chuiqing arrived at the venue, many people were already seated, chatting and waiting for the opening of the ceremony.

Song Wenxin walked over from the side and called out to Lu Chuiqing.Because today is a celebration event, there is no need to dress too formally, Song Wenxin deliberately wore a red plaid suit and did some haircuts, just to be more photogenic when taking photos of the celebration at night.

"At that time, the photos will be placed on the company's exhibition board." Song Wenxin smiled and patted Lu Chuiqing's shoulder, "I'm not like you, brother. If you tidy up casually, you will be the focus of the crowd."

Lu Chuiqing pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled.

The celebration officially started at three o'clock sharp, and the guests came and took their seats one after another. The new employees sat at the back of the venue. Song Wenxin secretly turned around to look at the guest passageway in the side corridor of the venue, and continued to sigh. Voice.

Fang Jiaming stood up from a group of company executives, walked to the front desk, and began to give a speech on the company's summary and future prospects.During the speech, Lu Chuiqing stretched his neck and looked forward. Fang Shaojun was sitting on Mr. Fang's right hand, Mrs. Fang was sitting on Mrs. Fang's left, and there was also a person sitting on the other side of Mrs. Fang.

Although his back was facing him, Lu Chuiqing could recognize Xiao Zhan from his back.

He is rarely wearing a light khaki suit today, which is a little less cold and inaccessible wrapped in dark clothes on weekdays, and more of the same delicate and charming easy-going.

Except for Xiao Zhan, all the other guests sat in another row of special guest seats, and only Xiao Zhan sat next to the Fang family.It can be seen how much Fang Jiaming and his wife value and trust Xiao Zhan.

"Hey, look at the guest seats, it's the second from the left." Song Wenxin turned sideways and whispered to Lu Chuiqing, "It's the futures boss I told you about the other day, Mr. Guo."

Lu Chuiqing tilted her head and looked, only to see the projection of the spotlight on the top of the guest seat, casting a faint reflection on the top of Mr. Guo's lax-haired head.

Since Guo Chongren and Xiao Zhan are classmates, it means that they are about the same age. In contrast to Xiao Zhan's enviable black hair, the shiny scalp on Guo Chongren's head is very eye-catching.

Lu Chuiqing shrank her neck: "It feels like he must be very tired..."

Song Wenxin: "That's for sure. Futures are three years old. Many professional futures bosses are glamorous on the surface, but they are taking antihypertensive drugs and antidepressants behind their backs. Hair loss is not a trivial matter."

It was already six o'clock in the evening after the celebration process and various programs ended, and everyone moved to the banquet hall to eat.The company's core executives and guests opened two seats, and they could be heard talking and laughing from a distance.

Lu Chuiqing glanced at the dining table of the guests from a distance, and Xiao Zhan was still sitting beside Fang's family.Inside his suit jacket are a brown checked vest and a white shirt, with an elegant Windsor knot in the collar. At this moment, he is cutting a piece of lamb chop with a table knife.

He sat there, handsome and fierce, worthy of all the stars.

Fang Shaojun sat next to Fang Jiaming, his lips tightly pursed, his face was a little impatient and displeased, and he didn't participate in the conversation between his father and other people, but kept drinking by himself, as if he was forced to attend.

Xiao Zhan raised his eyes by chance, Lu Chuiqing hurriedly looked away, lowered his head and took a sip of soup.Song Wenxin beside him supported his head and said with emotion: "It would be great if I could get to know those big shots, what a rare opportunity."

Lu Chuiqing did have this kind of thought in his heart, but they were just ordinary employees, and the only time they could show their faces in front of those people was probably when they went to toast together according to the usual practice, and wanted to really talk to those capable and status people In a word, it is basically impossible, and people will not care at all.

Just thinking about this, Deputy Manager Qian suddenly came out from the side and shouted: "Xiao Song, Xiao Lu, I'm going to say hello to some managers I know, you two come together."

Both Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin were taken aback for a moment, they looked at each other, and they both read surprise in each other's eyes.

They all understood that it was Deputy Manager Qian's intention to bring them to see the world in front of the big boss. It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of opportunity might not come true in their dreams. Dress with your own neckline.

Deputy Manager Qian smiled. She had always been quite satisfied with these two new employees. As a superior, sometimes she had to let her subordinates remember her kindness. She would not hesitate to do such trivial things.

Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin nervously followed Deputy Manager Qian. Deputy Manager Qian pointed to one of the guest dining tables and said, "That's the deputy general manager of Boda Materials, you guys from Boda Materials You know? A listed company of composite materials."

Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin nodded immediately. They were doing research, and they must be clear about these bullish stocks in recent years. What's more, for some other reasons, Lu Chuiqing paid more attention to this company.

Deputy Manager Qian stepped forward, toasted each other with a smile, and briefly introduced Xiao Lu and Xiao Song as researchers in her department. Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin also toasted politely and greeted each other, making them familiar in front of the boss.

The two chatted happily, and after a while, another woman in a suit and leather shoes came over with a smile, and seemed to be an acquaintance of the two.Listening to the three people talking and laughing between the lines, the executive came from the well-known Shuozheng Accounting Firm in China.

Shuozheng Accounting Firm?

For some reason, a vague memory suddenly flashed across Lu Chuiqing's mind. It was just a distant image, and before he tried hard to capture it, it had already slipped away completely.

However, when he set his sights on the manager of Boda Materials again, a big news in the financial world a few years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

He finally remembered why he always felt very familiar with Boda materials.

It was a listed company's fund fraud incident that shocked the market. Boda Materials Co., Ltd., when it stated in the statement that its cash holdings exceeded 140 billion yuan, unexpectedly entered a round of over-the-counter funds worth only 20 billion yuan. Defaulted on short-term bond financing.

Holding 140 billion in cash, but unable to repay the 20 billion in debt.

What is even more sensational is that, under the questioning of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and independent directors, the company claimed that all its cash was deposited in the bank, and the bank's reply after conducting a balance inquiry was that the cash balance in the account of Boda Materials Company was zero!

140 billion yuan in cash just disappeared!

Subsequently, the company's independent directors issued a statement, suspecting that the actual controller of Boda Materials had signed a capital linkage management agreement with the bank in violation of regulations, which opened the door for Boda Group and individual shareholders to illegally occupy the property of the listed company and falsely increase the company's profits.

Linked account management involves very complicated collection of funds and different calculation standards for balances, which brings about the illusion that tens of billions of funds are deposited in the account on the surface. The accounts are completely confused, and all funds have been transferred in violation of regulations.

At the same time, the accounting firm responsible for auditing Boda's annual report was directly suspended for investigation because it did not indicate appropriate conclusions in the audit results, which caused huge losses to market investors.

This firm is Shuozheng Accounting Firm.

Lu Chuiqing was stunned for a while, and quickly recalled the time when this incident happened. After thinking of the whole incident, the memory gradually became clear.He clearly remembered that shortly after seeing the news, his father-in-law had an operation for appendicitis, and that operation should have taken place in late November.

That was the second year of his marriage with Chen Yuan, so it's this year!

Lu Chuiqing's thoughts were completely immersed in this incident, racking her brains to recall the details of the incident.At that time, he only saw the news by accident, and didn't want to learn more about it.

Deputy Manager Qian looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Manager Chen?"

The executive of Shuozheng Accounting Firm replied: "He went to the bathroom and will be back in a while... Hey, he's back."

The sound of soft leather heels stepping on the carpet was heard behind them. Deputy Manager Qian immediately went up to meet them, and greeted them with a smile, "Manager Chen, long time no see. Sorry to welcome you."

Lu Chuiqing came back to her senses, turned around following Deputy Manager Qian, and looked up.

At that moment, the smile on Lu Chuiqing's face froze for a moment.He was slightly stunned, staring blankly at the man standing behind him.

It was exactly the same face as he remembered, smiling, charming, kind and gentle.

The glass castle in his heart built with unforgettable feelings suddenly cracked a gap, and the memories of the past years flooded towards him, and every frame was the touch or struggle he had experienced.

Wearing a low-key and elegant dark gray suit, Chen Yuan smiled at Deputy Manager Qian and said, "Where are you, you're welcome."

After three years, the familiar voice poured into Lu Chuiqing's ears, and it was equally warm and pleasant.Lu Chuiqing's body trembled for a moment, and suddenly flashed back to the self who was sitting alone in the bar the night before the car accident, the child who was pregnant with Chen Yuan, but was confused about the future and life he should have. .

Deputy Manager Qian briefly introduced: "Xiao Lu, Xiao Song, this is Manager Chen from the Business Administration Department of Shengan Insurance Mainland Branch."
