Through Thick and Thin

During the lunch break on Monday, Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin sat in the restaurant after lunch and chatted.Lu Chuiqing quietly asked Song Wenxin, "Song Wenxin, do you know anyone in the corporate bond fund department?"

Song Wenxin: "Yes, the one who told me about Fang Shao last time, what's the matter?"

"Then can you ask me if there are many super-short-term financing bonds in our corporate bond fund." Lu Chuiqing scratched her hair, "Just ask."

"Ultra-short-term financing bonds?" Song Wenxin asked in surprise, "Of course you can ask, but why are you suddenly interested in ultra-short-term financing?"

Lu Chuiqing: "Actually, a senior of mine in the securities industry told me that he felt that the ultra-short-term risk is very high recently. He is researching new materials, such as Jinguang compound, Boda materials... If you A friend is studying this, you can remind him to avoid it."

"Boda Materials? Is it a hot topic in the brokerage research report?"

Lu Chuiqing nodded and was about to continue talking when the assistant manager of their department suddenly came over and said, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Song, Manager Qian asked you to go to the office 15 minutes before work in the afternoon to find her."

Lu Chuiqing and Song Wenxin looked at each other, and they both read some doubts in each other's eyes, and they immediately agreed: "Okay."

After the assistant left, Song Wenxin asked in surprise, "Why does Manager Qian want us?"

Lu Chuiqing was also at a loss: "I don't know either. Could it be that there is something wrong with our report? But the report is not under the control of Manager Qian."

"Shouldn't it be scolding... Otherwise, 15 minutes is too short." Song Wenxin said, "Maybe there is work for us?"

Before going to work in the afternoon, the two came to her office as Manager Qian said.Manager Qian was looking through the documents while drinking tea. Seeing that the two looked a little nervous, he raised his head with a smile and comforted him: "Sit down, don't be nervous, I'm not criticizing you."

She closed the document in her hand, and said, "Jiaxin Securities will come to our department for a very important roadshow next month. We need someone to sort out the information and then screen them. There may be one or two dinners after that. I have already notified Xiao Liu. Let him take you to do this."

After listening to Manager Qian's words, the two people's hearts fell to the ground. It was not a problem to arrange work, which also showed that Manager Qian affirmed their working ability.

Manager Qian briefly talked about the arrangements and precautions for the road show, and then said: "That's it, Xiao Liu will tell you the specifics. Xiao Song, you go back to the office, and Xiao Lu will stay for a while."

Finding two people to talk to is for work, leaving one person alone is not necessarily the case.Song Wenxin gave Lu Chuiqing a look wishing him good luck, and left the office.

Lu Chuiqing sat upright on the chair, and Manager Qian said, "Xiao Lu, next Friday I will go on a business trip with a few bond fund managers and I will go to City Z and City B, and we will go to a few companies. These companies are Chinese Ming is an old customer, and those who have invested a lot of money, need to travel more to make contact, and we need a few people to help in the itinerary, so you can come together."

Although it was extra work, Lu Chuiqing knew in his heart that Manager Qian intended to train him, so he immediately replied: "Okay, I understand, I will definitely prepare for anything I need."

Manager Qian nodded appreciatively.

Two or three days to travel to two cities, the schedule must be very tight.Lu Chuiqing has never been to Z city, but he is very familiar with B city, because that is the city where he lived for five years after marriage.

Both Lu Chuiqing's undergraduate and postgraduate studies were at N University, a first-class domestic university located in the neighboring city of B city. After all, he married Chen Yuan when he was a graduate student. After graduation, he naturally followed Chen Yuan to settle in City B.

Like City S where he lives now, City B is also a first-tier city with a high standard of living and a developed financial economy.And because of some preferential tax policies for enterprises, the headquarters of many large companies are located there, such as the mainland headquarters of Shengan Insurance.

On Friday, the group first arrived in City B.After coming out of the airport in City B, Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but feel dazed looking at the scene she hadn't seen in three years.

It is not accurate to say that we have not seen each other for three years, because it still maintains the earlier appearance. The hotel next to the airport was officially opened in the third year of Lu Chuiqing's marriage, and it has only just been built.

Other than that, everything is as it was.

Lu Chuiqing regained her composure and withdrew her lost gaze.He will never forget that he once had a deeply loved person and an unforgettable relationship in this city.He will not deny everything he has experienced, after all, this is a part of his life, a part that makes him gradually complete.

Accompanying the boss on a business trip basically means acting as an assistant on some occasions, doing some chores, and being on call.In addition to having dinner with the clients at noon, Manager Qian told him that there was another dinner that night, and he and several other accompanying staff were responsible for restaurant reservations and reception arrangements, and there was only one person to receive.

"It's Manager Chen Yuan who came to attend the anniversary celebration last time, do you remember?" Manager Qian replied, "He is an old school friend of mine. I said that I would welcome him. He happens to live in City B."

The smile on Lu Chuiqing's face froze slightly, and his expression changed for a moment. He didn't let Manager Qian see his subtle emotional changes, and then said: "Okay, I understand."

That night, Lu Chuiqing followed Manager Qian and waited for Chen Yuan in the restaurant lobby.Chen Yuan drove here alone, and there was no entourage around him.After seeing Chen Yuan, Manager Qian warmly greeted him and shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Manager Chen, welcome, welcome, the preparations were hasty, don't be surprised."

Lu Chuiqing stood aside with the gift that Manager Qian had prepared for Chen Yuan, and waited until the two had almost finished exchanging greetings before greeting Chen Yuan in a timely manner.

Chen Yuan obviously still remembered him, he looked at Lu Chuiqing with a slight smile, and said gently: "Hello."

Manager Qian: "I don't know what you usually like to drink, so I prepared a few cakes and a three-year old ban. Come on, Xiao Lu, go and help Manager Chen put the tea in the car."

Chen Yuan thanked him with a smile, handed the car keys to Lu Chuiqing, and told him where his car was.When Lu Chuiqing looked at the car keys in his hand, he knew that Chen Yuan's car was still the one at that time.

Nothing about Chen Yuan seemed to have changed, the only difference was that Lu Chuiqing was no longer there.

Lu Chuiqing put away her things and went back to the private room, and sat down on the empty seat next to another colleague who was on the same level as him.Although all the bosses and leaders sat at the table, the atmosphere was warm and relaxed because it was a reception banquet.

A group of bosses chatted about the upcoming autumn recruitment peak period. Some people couldn’t help complaining that some applicants boasted too much on their resumes and performed well in interviews. There are a lot of problems.

A manager of the human resources department complained: "Recruitment is really too easy to step on the pit, so that I don't want to engage in school recruitment this year. The current graduates say one thing in the interview, and many of them are under pressure. I’m not capable enough, I can’t stand a little criticism.”

"That's not necessarily true." Manager Qian said with a smile, "Xiao Lu in my department is a graduate of last year. He is practical and capable, so I am very satisfied. Xiao Lu, I remember you graduated from N University, right?"

Lu Chuiqing: "Well, yes."

Several managers laughed and said that top students in first-class universities are indeed different. They are all veterans in the workplace, and they need to know people to be able to hold their current positions.Lu Chuiqing has been busy with them for the past few days. Anyone who is interested can see exactly what Lu Chuiqing's ability is.

Lu Chuiqing touched her hair embarrassingly, her expression became a little more shy, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, she looked more like a student who had just left the ivory tower.

Although it may be just a few unintentional compliments, no one has said these words to Lu Chuiqing before.

The colleague from the bond department sitting next to Lu Chuiqing raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Chuiqing, his eyes rolled upwards slightly, a bit of contempt and disgust flashed in his eyes, as if he felt that Lu Chuiqing's appearance was clearly Posturing.

Hearing that Lu Chuiqing graduated from N University, Chen Yuan's eyes moved slightly. He raised his eyes to look at the shy Lu Chuiqing, his expression became softer unconsciously, and he said naturally: "Our company and N University The graduate school has had cooperative projects before, and the students of N University are really outstanding."

Of course Lu Chuiqing knew what Chen Yuan was referring to, that was the opportunity for him and Chen Yuan to get acquainted.He smiled politely at Chen Yuan, and replied: "I know about that project, but I happened to have something to do so I missed it, it's a pity."

Everyone was eating and chatting, and they talked about Chen Yuan. A manager surnamed Li probably had a close relationship with Chen Yuan, and he joked generously: "Old Chen, when are you going to get married? We have to wait I'm going to accept your wedding invitation."

Manager Qian: "Manager Chen is of course very demanding. You can't rush this kind of thing, you have to meet the right person. By the way, Lao Li, haven't you been married for two years?"

Lu Chuiqing was taken aback, Chen Yuan is not married yet?

"Hey—you can't say that. How can my qualifications compare to Manager Chen's?" Manager Li took a sip of wine, his eyes drifted, and suddenly fell on Lu Chuiqing.

Manager Li is a person who likes to gossip and doesn't stick to small details. He asked bluntly with a smile, "Xiao Lu, do you have someone to talk to?"

To be honest, Lu Chuiqing doesn't like to discuss such private topics in front of her boss. After all, work is work, so of course it has to be separated from her private life.Anyone who meets a boss who likes to gossip about his subordinates will feel helpless.

But there is no way, Lu Chuiqing can't take the boss's face seriously, so he can only answer: "Not yet."

"Really?" Manager Li was surprised, "There's nothing embarrassing to say, Xiao Lu, you must be very popular in school, right?"

Lu Chuiqing smiled, with a slight slander in her heart, she thought that she would be done after escaping the questioning of her parents and relatives about her partner, but unexpectedly she had to face it at a dinner on a business trip.

Lu Chuiqing didn't notice, Chen Yuan raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Lu Chuiqing's side face.

When the dinner was coming to an end, Manager Qian's cell phone rang. She took it out to have a look, and said "Oops" in surprise: "President Fang's call, I have to answer it."

She stood up, walked to the balcony of the private room, picked it up, and said, "Good evening, Boss Fang... hey... hey... yes, we're going to City Z tomorrow... um... um... I have enough people here... ...That's right...Is Manager Yuan? Okay, no problem...um...I'll make arrangements right away...um...okay, goodbye, Mr. Fang, good night."

Manager Qian hung up the phone and walked into the room. Manager Li asked curiously, "What's the matter with Mr. Fang?"

"Yuan Ning, do you know that? He is the general manager of Value Scan." Manager Qian said, "He has something to do in City Z for the past two days, and he will have an important event tomorrow. He said that there is a sudden shortage of manpower, and he needs one or two researchers engaged in industry research. It just so happens that we are going tomorrow, so Boss Fang asked us to lend him one or two people."

Manager Li: "Hey, Manager Yuan has a lot of face, and Mr. Fang has to speak up about this in person."

Manager Qian smiled: "Where is Manager Yuan's face? Who does Manager Yuan help earn money? Mr. Xiao. Manager Yuan was the executive candidate in Mr. Fang's mind when he was in Zhongming. Everyone knew at that time Later, Mr. Xiao established a company that lacked management talents, so he came directly to poach the wall, and Mr. Fang let Manager Yuan out without saying a word."

Manager Li "tsk tsk" praised twice: "Don't say it, sometimes I really think Mr. Xiao is Mr. Fang's own."

"It's mainly Fang Shao..." Manager Qian pursed his lips and smiled, "Forget it, I can't say that."

Manager Qian turned to look at Lu Chuiqing, and said, "Xiao Lu, you and Xiao Wu can go directly to Manager Yuan's side tomorrow, and just let Manager Yuan make arrangements for anything."

In fact, after hearing the words "value scanning", Lu Chuiqing's attention was already on the conversation between the managers.Hearing what Manager Qian said, Lu Chuiqing quickly agreed.
