Through Thick and Thin

In the past few days, Lu Chuiqing has been meeting with people from the real estate company every day to discuss the issue of funds. It is also for filing and review and research and design. He is so busy that he does not go to bed until after three o'clock at night for several days.

The new fund is expected to be released at the end of the year, and the entire industry is waiting to see how the fund will be released. People in the department are all tense, and there is no mistake in the entire issuance process.

This busy work basically lasted until the end of the year. After the fund was officially released, Lu Chuiqing's work finally became a little more relaxed. The subsequent fund management and operation will naturally be handled by professionals hired by the company. He will be in charge of some major decision-making links. just fine.

Zhongming’s fund has a reserve quota of 200 billion yuan. Once it was listed, it was sold out almost instantly. Many people are aiming at the low threshold and stable income of this new fund, as well as the government’s endorsement. Many large investment institutions have also followed suit. hold.

After the situation on the first day of release came out, the employees of the whole department finally let go of their worries for several months. It is really the credit of all members for such achievements, and the company's senior management also gave high praise at the quarterly department meeting.

The department manager took everyone to a celebration banquet. Everyone laughed when they mentioned the bonus at the end of the year. Lu Chuiqing was toasted by many employees, but he didn't drink much every time, and he couldn't stand the high alcohol content. Drunk.

When the celebration banquet was about to end, Lu Chuiqing wanted to call Uncle Wang, but unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door of the box, and a waiter came over, found Lu Chuiqing, bent down and respectfully said to him in a low voice: " Mr. Lu, Mr. Xiao said that you can just go out after eating here, and he will wait for you in the restaurant lobby."

Lu Chuiqing was taken aback in surprise, and hurriedly thanked the waiter. He knew that Xiao Zhan had dinner with several shareholders of the office building tonight, but he didn't know that he also came here.

After everyone finished eating, they left the private room and came to the lobby of the restaurant. From a long distance, Lu Chuiqing saw Xiao Zhan sitting alone in a booth for four by the window. There was a pot of scented tea on the table. It seemed that he had finished his meal.

Lu Chuiqing's colleagues were surprised when they saw Xiao Zhan, but they immediately understood that the relationship between Deputy Manager Lu and Mr. Xiao had long been known to everyone in the company, and they all came forward and smiled. Say hello to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded in response. Seeing that Lu Chuiqing was a little drunk, he stepped forward to take his hand, bid farewell to everyone, and led him out of the restaurant.

After Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan left, some colleagues in the department couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Xiao is really kind to Manager Lu."

Another colleague answered: "That's not true. I added a CEO's WeChat account a while ago because of my research. The boss went to the engagement banquet between Mr. Xiao and Manager Lu last time. I saw the circle of friends he posted. It was really shocking to be there.”

In the parking lot of the restaurant at this time, Lu Chuiqing got into Xiao Zhan's car and asked, "Why are you here?"

Maybe it was because he was a little drunk, but Lu Chuiqing's speech was slower than usual, with a faint nasal voice, and his voice was sticky, which sounded very cute.

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand and gently scratched his nose, and replied with a slight smile, "Can't I eat here?"

Lu Chuiqing smiled and said happily: "Have you seen the news today? The funds in our department are very popular as soon as they are listed. We are all considering whether to apply for an expansion quota and a second batch of issuance."

"I see." Xiao Zhan replied, "It's been hard work for a while."

Lu Chuiqing stretched her waist, and said with a long breath: "It's okay to work hard, as long as there is reward."

"The market has responded very well in the past two days. Mr. Lin is also very interested in your fund project. Let me mention it to you. There may be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Really?" Lu Chuiqing raised her head in surprise, thought of something again, and said half-jokingly, "She's not just trying to save face, is she?"

Xiao Zhan: "Giving me face is giving you face."

That's true, after all, the two of them are now considered husband and wife. Lu Chuiqing was still happy for a while, and his slightly drunkenness made him bolder. A kiss on the side of the face.

Xiao Zhan also hugged him and kissed his lips affectionately.

This year has been busy, and it is almost the end of the new year.Lu Chuiqing really feels that the past two years have passed very quickly, one thing after another, although he is busy, it is inevitable that there will be times of great pressure, but with Xiao Zhan by his side, Lu Chuiqing does not feel that at all. tough.

This year, Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan's family lived together. They said they were two families, but they were actually one family now. Lu Chuiqing's parents were taken to S City and had a family dinner at Xiao Zhan's house.

After the reunion dinner, other family members sat around in the living room to watch the party, while Xiao Hongguang called Lu Chuiqing to his study.

Xiao Hongguang naturally knew that Lu Chuiqing was busy with the new fund listing a while ago, so he asked a few simple questions, and Xiao Hongguang nodded from time to time as Lu Chuiqing said.

"Actually, I spend more time at home now than before. At this age, I still want to stay with my family." Xiao Hongguang's voice was unhurried, with a hint of emotion in it, "I am also Slowly let Xiao Zhan's younger siblings get in touch with the affairs of the family company, and when they take over slowly, I can almost no longer take care of the company's affairs."

After all, Xiao Hongguang's career has been stable for decades, and he doesn't need to take care of everything for a long time.What's more, the fourth child of Xiao's family will be born in a few months, and his wife is not young anymore. It is always necessary to pay more attention to childbirth, and he also wants to spend more time with his family.

"Xiao Zhan's mother and I gave birth to him early. When I was 30 years old, I was so busy that I never touched the ground. You may not believe it. I never went to the parent meeting when Xiao Zhan was studying. "Xiao Hongguang smiled bitterly, "Thinking about it now, I owed Xiao Zhan and his mother a lot at that time. After divorcing his mother, I really felt that I was not a good father. When Xiao Zhan faced me, he was polite and respectful. I can't find anything wrong with it, but it's deserted, not like a child facing his father, it's because I failed to let the child talk to me."

Xiao Hongguang let out a little breath, and said again: "But I'm still very glad that Xiao Zhan was independent early, he is good enough and stable enough, and he didn't have any character flaws because of my negligence, but he was compared to me. "

Although the father and son seldom talk, in Xiao Hongguang's heart, Xiao Zhan is still his proudest child.Whether it is Xiao Zhan's first venture or the establishment of his current company, Xiao Hongguang is gratified and proud.

Now, Xiao Zhan can find someone who he is really willing to start a family and love deeply for the rest of his life. As a father, he is naturally happy for him.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Xiao Lu." Xiao Hongguang said, "After being with you, Xiao Zhan has become more humane, and he has become closer to his younger brothers and sisters than before. Sure enough, there is someone in his heart that hurts, so I still want to be with you." It's different when I'm alone. You two will have a good time in the future, so I'm completely relieved."

After listening to Xiao Zhan's father's words, Lu Chuiqing's eyes became a bit sore, he nodded solemnly, and said, "Thank you for being willing to tell me this, Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Hongguang smiled: "Don't call me uncle, half of your foot has entered our house, so there is nothing wrong with changing the name in advance."

Lu Chuiqing's face became slightly hot, and finally called "Dad", Xiao Hongguang nodded with a smile, got up and said, "Let's not stay up there, let's go downstairs to watch the party."

After seeing Lu Chuiqing come down, Xiao Zhan patted the seat beside him. After Lu Chuiqing sat down, Xiao Zhan put his arms around his waist and whispered, "What did Dad tell you?"

"Dad didn't say anything, just chatted casually, and talked about your childhood..."

Xiao Zhan noticed that Lu Chuiqing's address had changed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Changed?"

"...Sooner or later, it will have to be changed."

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the two families roughly arranged their wedding, which will be in August this year. At that time, they will not invite as many guests as they did at the engagement banquet. They will only invite some relatives, friends and important guests. It will be lively and lively. Play easily for days.

Lu Chuiqing originally thought that Xiao Zhan and Mr. Lin of Xilin Real Estate wanted to cooperate with him at the end of last year, just casually mentioned it. Unexpectedly, one month after the resumption of work, the senior management of Xilin Real Estate met with the board of directors of Zhongming Fund. I want to cooperate.

The office building project in City Z that began to be rented and sold last year, not to mention the high-end residences that had been pre-determined for sale in advance, and the office floors below were also sold or rented out very quickly, and the expected profit in the future is very considerable.

Therefore, taking advantage of the new round of financial reform in the securities market and the launch of new products, Xilin Real Estate also intends to cooperate with Zhongming Fund, which has seized the industry's first opportunity.

The preliminary preparations for the cooperation project will take at least half a year. Xilin Real Estate intends to build the underlying assets in City B where the company headquarters is located. After preliminary negotiations, Zhongming arranged for Lu Chuiqing to take a few employees to City B for a business trip in mid-May. , do some field research.

The business trip this time was relatively easy, the company gave a lot of time, Xiao Zhan happened to be relatively free at that time, and after learning that Lu Chuiqing was going on a business trip, he planned to go with him.

Lu Chuiqing had to admit that with Xiao Zhan around, many things would be much easier, so he took this as a rare vacation with little work, and went to relax with Xiao Zhan.

The last time I came to City B was three years ago. When the plane was about to land at the airport in City B, Lu Chuiqing leaned against the window of the seat, watching the wings of the plane pass through the clouds and mist, and staring at the air gradually unfolding in front of his eyes. Open the familiar city outline.

In his previous life, Lu Chuiqing lived here for so many years. He used to know everything about this city by heart, but now he has gradually become like a strange traveler, and he has more or less forgotten everything about this city.

Lu Chuiqing turned on the phone and looked at the date on the screen. Today is May No. 15, and on the day a week after today in his last life, he had that car accident.

It has been seven years, and everything that happened in these seven years will be remembered by Lu Chuiqing forever.

After everyone arrived, the people from Xilin Real Estate warmly received them and prepared rooms for them in the hotel with the best view in the city center.Probably Xiao Zhan had told them in advance that he would come, and they had specially prepared suites for Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan.

This week is probably the most leisurely week that Lu Chuiqing has spent since becoming the deputy manager. She is not busy with work, and occasionally she can go sightseeing and eat and drink.Although Xiao Zhan said that he came here with Lu Chuiqing, he also took this opportunity to socialize with Mr. Lin and the others, and learn from real estate management and management that may be involved in the future.

On the weekend, Lu Chuiqing and his subordinates had to sort out all the materials and documents of the business trip and research in the hotel, while Xiao Zhan was invited by Mr. Lin to visit a new high-end real estate built by their group in this city, and told Lu Chuiqing that he would come back after dinner.

Lu Chuiqing agreed, then suddenly remembered something, stopped Xiao Zhan, and asked, "Where is that real estate?"

Xiao Zhan gave an address, which Lu Chuiqing recognized. It was on the commercial street in Dongcheng District, not in the same direction as Nancheng District where he used to live.

Lu Chuiqing nodded immediately, telling him to come back early.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhan and Mr. Lin left the real estate. Mr. Lin asked the company's driver to take Xiao Zhan back to the hotel. Before leaving, Xiao Zhan suddenly asked her where there is an authentic specialty snack in city B. .

Mr. Lin: "There are basically all the big business districts around here, but if Mr. Xiao wants to buy the most authentic ones, it's the one in Nancheng District. That store has been open for the longest time and has been open for two generations. tasty."

Xiao Zhan nodded: "Then please trouble Mr. Lin's driver to take me there first."

"Mr. Xiao likes to eat this? Tell me earlier, I can get someone to buy it in advance."

"Manager Lu likes to eat." Xiao Zhan replied, "I'll buy some for him."

When I first arrived at the hotel a few days ago, Lu Chuiqing saw this special snack of city B printed on the travel brochure on the hotel table. He used to like it very much. Although he had eaten it in other places, there was nothing like B city. City's authentic.

At that time, Lu Chuiqing mentioned something by chance, but he probably forgot it later, so he didn't mention it again, but Xiao Zhan kept it in mind.

When Mr. Lin heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "So that's the case."
