Through Thick and Thin

The fact that Xiao Zhan made billions at a time during this surge in international crude oil futures quickly spread to everyone in their circle of rich people.

People who can really enter this upper circle have assets at least one billion or more. Even so, these billions of dollars are still not a small number that everyone can calm down. During that period of time, Xiao Zhan received greetings from many friends who were only acquaintances in the circle.

In this circle, there are still rich second generations like Xia Hao before, and they also have so much money, but Xiao Zhan, who is independent and has his own business, is more respected than those who only rely on the reputation of the elders in the family. Much more.

The older generation in the circle naturally sees the accomplishments and potential of these younger generations.Many people's minds began to become active. After all, a marriage between strong and strong is always welcome, and the right marriage is always a good thing.

People who go up to inquire with this kind of thinking intentionally or unintentionally will inevitably be disappointed. Xiao Zhan is very frank that he already has a partner, and he is personally very happy to start a family with the other party in the near future.

It is said that they have a partner, but almost no one in the circle knows who the other party is. They looked at each other thoughtfully, and it seems that they are not some young master or lady in this rich circle.

In the past few days, Xiao Zhan's old class leader in high school organized a class reunion. Many of them hadn't seen each other since they graduated from high school. It's been sixteen or seventeen years.

The old squad leader looked for the contact information of the old classmates everywhere, and tried his best to contact them from June, and finally managed to find the time when everyone was free, and called nearly half of the old classmates to participate.

The high school that Xiao Zhan was studying at that time was a boarding high school in S City, and everyone was together almost day and night. At that time, the schoolwork was tight, and the relationship between classmates was incomparable in any other time period of schooling.

What's more, according to Xiao Zhan's knowledge, some of his old classmates also developed in the financial industry like him, and they all developed fairly well, as well as real estate, foreign trade, law, civil servants, etc. If you are able to retain and accumulate some contacts in these industries, it is of course only beneficial and not harmful.

Therefore, when Xiao Zhan received the invitation from the classmate association, he readily agreed to attend without much hesitation.

The location of the class reunion was set in S City, and many people still chose to stay in their hometown to develop.

The class reunion was scheduled for Sunday night in the second week of August, Xiao Zhan went to attend the class reunion, and Lu Chuiqing planned to visit Xiao Luo on Sunday afternoon.

There is still more than half a month before Xiao Luo's due date, and Xiao Zhan also graciously extended Yuan Ning's vacation, so that he can spend more time looking after her boyfriend.

Xiao Luo is about to give birth to a child. He is still young, so he will inevitably feel nervous, happy and worried. He often cannot sleep these few nights.

Yuan Ning saw the pain in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. Apart from being with Xiao Luo as much as possible, comforting him and taking care of him, he seemed to have no other way to make Xiao Luo feel at ease. He is an Alpha after all, and there are some things he can't do in his life. empathy.

Therefore, Yuan Ning is very grateful for the arrival of Lu Chuiqing. He has always been like a reliable and warm-hearted brother to Xiao Luo, and he is also an Omega. At this time, he can take care of many things that Yuan Ning might ignore. The emotions in Xiao Luo's heart.

Xiao Zhan chose a well-known Xinjiang restaurant near the landmark Sanhuaye International Hotel in S City as the meeting place.Because he will definitely be drinking today, Xiao Zhan didn't drive by himself, but asked Uncle Wang to take him there.On the way, Lu Chuiqing, who had just returned home from Xiao Luo's place, called Xiao Zhan.

Lu Chuiqing: "Are you on your way?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhan replied, "What are you going to have for dinner today?"

"Well... Auntie can eat whatever she wants."

"Do you want me to pack some snacks for you later?"

"Then I want to eat cold noodles." Lu Chuiqing said enthusiastically, "There are also roasted naan from Xinjiang. I haven't eaten roasted naan yet."

"Hey, by the way, I remember that you had a classmate who came to celebrate the company's anniversary last year? What's his name... the surname seems to be Guo? A futures trader?"

"Guo Chongren."

"That's right, that's him. I heard from my colleagues that he's pretty good. Will he go today?"

Lu Chuiqing asked curiously: "Is he a member of your group of rich people?"

"It doesn't count." Xiao Zhan replied, "His family conditions are much better than ordinary families, but it doesn't mean he is very rich. I have contact with him occasionally. After graduation, he worked as a fund manager for a while, helping clients invest. He started to do independent futures trading. He made a lot of money in futures a few years ago, probably one or two hundred million, and he has always wanted to squeeze into this circle.”

"Then he's really amazing." Lu Chuiqing sighed, "It takes so much courage to do futures."

"I think you seem to be doing it quite easily?"

"Oh, it's just this one time, I can't stand it for a long time, look at those full-time futures workers, who doesn't worry about losing their hair every day..." Lu Chuiqing got away with it, and said, "Students like yours are the real bosses , it can be seen from the amount of hair..."

"However, I heard that he lost a lot on crude oil this time. He didn't do crude oil at first, but he always focused on rubber and metal. This time, he probably decided to buy it because everyone was buying it. It's rather late."

Lu Chuiqing said "ah" regretfully, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sometimes luck is really evil, and sometimes it seems that God is against her, and everything doesn't go well.

Guo Chongren is definitely not the only one. With the rise in crude oil prices this time, many traders have lost their positions. Too many people are in a much worse situation than Guo Chongren.

Lu Chuiqing chatted with Xiao Zhan for a few more words, then hung up the phone and prepared to have dinner.After dinner, Lu Chuiqing was fine, so he nestled on the bed and watched a movie with the cat in his arms. After watching it for a while, he felt a little bored and yawned profusely.

After stroking the cat boredly for a while, Lu Chuiqing thought that if she stayed, she would just stay, so she might as well pick up Xiao Zhan later, so she immediately called Uncle Wang.

At that time, Uncle Wang was having dinner in another restaurant near the restaurant where Xiao Zhan had a party, and he was also waiting for the boss to come out after the party to send him home.

Lu Chuiqing said: "Uncle Wang, have you had dinner yet?"

"I'm eating, what's wrong with Mr. Lu?"

"I'm still lying down at home, and I just want to say that I'll pick Xiao Zhan up later. Uncle Wang, please tell me the exact address. Just go home after dinner. I'll tell him it's me. I want to come." Lu Chuiqing paused, then said a little embarrassedly, "Don't tell Xiao Zhan, he will definitely not let me go."

Uncle Wang smiled and said: "Okay, then I will send the address to your mobile phone in a while, Mr. Lu, please help me pick up the boss."

"Where is it, thank you, Uncle Wang."

After receiving the address, Lu Chuiqing took out the car key of another car that had been parked in the garage at home from Xiao Zhan's study drawer, went back to the room, changed clothes, and prepared to go out.

Xiao Zhan went out in Uncle Wang's car, and there were two cars parked at home, except for the one Xiao Zhan usually drove, and another one that was rarely driven out of the garage.

Unlike Xiao Zhan's usual car that can only be recognized as a luxury car by someone who really understands cars, the other car in the family can be recognized as a luxury car even by people who don't know cars at a glance. It is high-profile and luxurious.

I heard from Xiao Zhan that this was a business gift given to him by his father when he first established Value Scan. It was really not his favorite, so he would only drive it occasionally when he went to his father’s place. There were only a few times in total. The garage is maintained regularly.

On the day he first moved in, Xiao Zhan said that Lu Chuiqing could drive this car casually if he liked it.Lu Chuiqing also felt that this car was too high-profile, not to mention that he had only driven a car at home since he got his driver's license in college, and suddenly he was asked to drive such a luxurious luxury car, and he suddenly became less confident in his driving skills , I was afraid that I would go out after scratching hundreds of thousands, so I only slipped around the community a few times, but today I found a chance to experience the feeling of driving a luxury car on the road.

At this moment, at Xiao Zhan's classmate reunion, everyone was almost full, drinking and reminiscing about the old days.The old classmates who haven't seen each other for more than ten years are still as friendly as when they were still classmates. The atmosphere in the box is lively, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

Everyone seemed not to be drunk, and Xiao Zhan also drank a lot, but he has always held a good amount of alcohol, unlike some students who have already blushed and were a little drunk.

Xiao Zhan called the waiter and told him to prepare a cold noodle and baked naan, and the students on the side smiled and said, "Aren't you full?"

"No, help my wife pack."

As soon as this sentence came out, many people at the table were surprised.They know that Xiao Zhan is not married yet, but they have never heard that Xiao Zhan is in a relationship. What's more, hearing Xiao Zhan's name basically means that he has already settled down.

It was rare to find out about Xiao Zhan's gossip, and the students around asked enthusiastically who the future Mrs. Xiao was. The general impression of "cute" and "Xiao Zhan likes it very much".

"By the way, Xiao Zhan, I heard that you made a lot of money in futures this time." An old classmate who used to have a good relationship with Xiao Zhan suddenly remembered this and asked curiously, "Earn a lot of money?" How much did you pay? Can you tell us about it?"

Many people present didn't know about this, and all turned their attention to Xiao Zhan for a moment.

Xiao Zhan: "A rare gathering without talking about money."

The old classmate only knew that Xiao Zhan made a lot of money this time, but he didn’t know that Guo Chongren, who was sitting on the sidelines, had lost a lot this time. It was unintentional to bring up this topic. Seeing that Xiao Zhan was not willing to talk about it, he laughed and said: Xiao Zhan, we are all people in our 30s who have seen the world, are you afraid that you will scare us by speaking out? Just say it, count in hundreds of millions! How many billions!"

Many students laughed and teased, and the laughter around them stopped abruptly with a loud bang on the dining table.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice in amazement, only to see Guo Chongren was so drunk that his face was flushed, and he was lying on the table with his elbows. Looking at the blank wine bottle in front of him, he had at least half a catty of liquor in his stomach.

He lowered his head and said drunkenly: "You... are you laughing at me on purpose? If you want to find more relationships... I don't want to come... I came, and I listened to your highs and lows..."

There was a moment of silence at the dining table. The old squad leader on one side looked ugly. He never thought that a good class reunion would be turned into this. He said in a deep voice, "Old Guo, you've drunk too much and you're talking nonsense. Stop drinking."

"Do you think so?! You just say I'm right?!" Guo Chongren roared emotionally, his eyes turned red as he spoke, he bowed deeply, and muttered, "You only see Those who are lucky... who make money... don't care how badly others fall..."

His voice was getting louder and louder, all the unwillingness was amplified by the alcohol, and his voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs: "Am I not working hard enough?! Am I not working hard enough?! I haven't slept in this line of work for several years. A good night's sleep...Why can someone lie down and let others help him earn money...Why do I have to suffer every day...This time I lost...[-] million! [-] million! My two years of hard work disappeared in one night! Those who made money... all earned money from us poor people!"

Guo Chongren finally couldn't help crying on the table, and the harmonious atmosphere of a class reunion disappeared without a trace. Everyone listened to his crying with different expressions.
