Investment Life

Although the bus was barely direct, it took the two of them four to ten minutes to arrive at the Bund. The overcrowded buses in Shanghai were fine for Chen Yuanming, but not for Xiao Junyi, who had been picked up by various special buses since he was a child. So wonderful.His snow-white T-shirt was already soaked with sweat, and wearing jeans and sneakers in Shanghai's hot and humid August day was even more suffocating. When he arrived at his destination, he felt as if he had been thrown into the laundry bucket and rolled up. Even the stinky little hairstyle is still alive, and it is pitifully huddled together.

Even though he was tortured enough, Xiao Junyi still maintained his demeanor. Although the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit stiff, it didn't fade away anyway.This little brat is my uncle's partner, and what my uncle holds is almost the entire family's working capital. Facing such a large profit, he knows what is more important, but... it's still a mess. ! !

Maintaining a weird atmosphere, the two finally came to the Peace Hotel on the Bund. For the social circle in Shanghai at that time, the Peace Hotel was indeed a top-level category. It would not be considered impolite to entertain anyone. When entering the dining room, a group of fox friends and dog friends immediately became noisy.

"Who is this? It doesn't look like the third young master!" A boy with several pimples on his face pointed at Xiao Junyi and laughed, "Why do you look like a refugee? Your little bluebird finally went on strike. ?”

The corner of Xiao Junyi's mouth twitched, "Go away, young master, I am experiencing people's livelihood." He drew a semicircle with his finger and introduced Chen Yuanming one by one. "That fat man is Sun Zhigang, the son of Bureau Sun of the Local Taxation Bureau, and the bancuntou is Zhao Liang, the nephew of Director Zhao of the Development and Reform Commission. The two brothers next to him are Liu Feng and Liu Lan, who are Mayor Li's nephews. The last disfigured one is me. His name is Li Nianhua."

After finishing speaking, he patted Chen Yuanming on the shoulder, "My uncle's friend, surnamed Chen, Chen Yuanming, everyone, for my sake, don't make trouble."

A group of people immediately booed, and they had been fascinated by it since childhood, and no one could hear Mingtang in just a few words.I guess the identity of the kid who hosted the banquet today has not been figured out by Young Master Xiao, but the elders have orders, so I dare not disobey.

Faced with the booing, Chen Yuanming just smiled. The status of this group of yamen is neither high nor low, which is really just right for Xiao Junyi, a dragon like Xiao Junyi.After all, Shanghai is not a locality, and it is not easy for him to put on too much ostentation as an outsider, so it is better to find some friends with similar identities to relax.

After figuring out the identities of the people, Chen Yuanming didn't refuse much, and sat down next to Xiao Junyi.As soon as I sat down, a beautiful menu was handed in front of me.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order some." Xiao Junyi smiled very appropriately, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Chen Yuanming smiled slightly and took the menu.At that time, the menus of the Peace Hotel were still purely handmade, and the names of the dishes were all written in calligraphy.It's just about ordering food, especially when ordering food on a formal occasion and not the guest of honor, there are still many tricks in it.Chen Yuanming opened a company in Hangzhou in his previous life, and the wealth management company had a lot of reception tasks, and there was a set of exquisite things on the wine table in later generations. Over time, he also developed his skills in the wine market.Just these kids in front of me?Not yet.

"Osmanthus candied lotus root, Caoliu river eel, fried shrimp with minced garlic, and a Huaiyin soup dumpling. You can do whatever else you want." After ordering lightly, Chen Yuanming handed back the menu.The whole process took less than 30 seconds, and he didn't follow the directions at all. Xiao Junyi's smile almost froze on his face, and he twitched his fingers before he reluctantly took back the menu.Should I say that this kid is stupid or not paying attention to them...

Some people cheered and some made fun, and the meal was lively, but those present here have basically been trained to have a set of extraordinary eyesight since they were young, and it didn't take much effort to see that their boss and the new kid didn't get along well.Although you have to listen to the elders' orders, it doesn't hurt to do a little trick in private.After lunch, a few people wandered into the lounge of the hotel in the name of digestion.

The most popular leisure and entertainment at this time are disco, bowling and billiards. A hotel of this level like the Peace Hotel, of course, has all three.It's just that the size is short and the size is good, and you have to pick your own expertise when playing games, so a group of half-sized guys gathered in front of the pool table in tacit understanding and began to shout.

"How about it? Play two?" Xiao Junyi took a pure black wooden pole and tossed it lightly. Chen Yuanming caught it firmly with his hands, weighed the weight of the pole, and showed a wry smile.

Not only does he know how to do this, but he is also very familiar with it. From the 80s to the early 90s, when billiards were popular in mainland China, private billiard stalls were all over the streets, and there were countless billiards for 3 cents a club, 10 yuan an afternoon.And his favorite thing to play in his previous life was actually billiards. The reason is too simple. The game room in the "Three Rooms and One Hall" appeared late, and the price was not cheap. It was a mixed bag of flirting men and women.

But the billiards room is different. They are all young guys. In summer, they lie down on the table with their shoulders on their hips. No matter how boring Chen Yuanming is, he can't refuse this temptation, can he?What's more, with good skills, he can gamble two hands, and the winner doesn't even need to spend money. Over time, he has developed a good skill to hit the end.

"How about snooker, can you play?" Seeing Chen Yuanming take over the pole, Xiao Junyi's smile immediately widened. I can't say anything else, his billiard skills are really good, not comparable to those street stalls, Snow Ke is even more proficient, which is much higher than the 15-ball hole-in that is now full of streets.

"Yes." What else can Chen Yuanming say, after 93, will there still be people playing 15 balls in the market?Isn't it all about snooker?This kind of time difference is simply bullying the small with the big... Of course, now it seems that the big should be bullied with the small.

"Hehe, how can you not get a lot of money playing ball?" Li Nianhua immediately helped out, "I don't play big games either. How about all the losers tonight?"

Isn't it trivial for a group of dudes to spend a thousand dollars a night?This bet is not small, but it is really not big.But for Chen Yuanming, neither the opponent nor the bet was enough.

Seeing Chen Yuanming nod his head, Xiao Junyi smiled sincerely this time.Even if the uncle has explained it, it's not his fault for playing games, and seeing how developed the uncle has been recently, how can this kid be poor, and if he bleeds, he can use it as his escort fee.

Of course, Chen Yuanming started the first game.Although he was highly skilled in his previous life, after all, he seldom played after the age of 20. After another life, his technique is of course a bit rusty. He only scored two goals and missed the third shot.

"It's up to me." I guessed that Chen Yuanming might be two-handed, but now it seems that it is really "only two-handed". There is no need to worry about it. Xiao Junyi lowered his body, looked at the position of his eyes, and hit with one shot.The cue ball snapped, and simply sent another red ball into the bag.

"Concession." Xiao Junyi smiled triumphantly, then leaned over and aimed at the next ball.

Chen Yuanming was a little distracted, his peach blossom eyes were beaming, it was hard for him not to recall the past.Once upon a time, didn't that person be so energetic and smile sweetly at him?

Just thinking about it like this makes her feel bad.He was no longer interested in admiring the opponent's long legs and thin waist, which were delicious when lying on the ground. When changing hands for the next ball, Chen Yuanming simply swept up the table. The red ball was swept away in a blink of an eye, and the yellow, green, brown, blue, Pink, black, until all the balls were pocketed, Xiao Junyi insisted on not letting Xiao Junyi get started again.

The room was suddenly quiet, Xiao Junyi calmly wiped the tip of the club with the powder, "Another round?"

In the second game, Xiao Junyi kicked off the tee, and after a miss, he replaced and made another shot to the bottom.In the third game, Chen Yuanming kicked off the ball, and Xiao Junyi never got stuck on the table.This face is too big!Several spectators clicked their tongues. Master Xiao has never been hurt like this before!

"Hehe, it seems that his skills are inferior to others." Xiao Junyi's laughter was indescribable, he threw the cue on the table, and waved his hands smartly, "If you lose, you lose, go to the next door? I'll pay you off for tonight's consumption!"

It was already past 6 o'clock at this time, and it was the time when those fashionable female students were going to the dance hall after class. There was nothing wrong with the others, and a group of people directly shifted their positions.This time, because it was in the dance hall, I didn't make any fuss. I just threw Chen Yuanming on the sofa alone under the banner of being unsuitable for minors, and a group of people rushed into the dance floor.

The disco dance at this time, whether it is ornamental or entertaining, is very good. My ears are full of retro disco dance music from the 80s. The little girls with skirts below the knees and a group of young boys in floral shirts and short T-shirts are dancing. In love, eyes are full of excitement.Amidst the deafening noise, Chen Yuanming sat alone deep in the sofa, slowly drinking a glass of fruit juice, letting the sourness fill his heart.

It has been nearly two years, but he has never forgotten that person, just a pair of peach blossom eyes can bring back memories of the past.

Shen Jiankun... Ah Kun...

The only person he had ever seriously loved in his previous life was also the one who hurt him the most, and even killed him.When he was in night school, the other party was an investment lecturer. The two had the same sexuality, they met each other, and soon lived together.From that person, he learned how to trade in stocks and how to run a fund. With years of savings, he entered the market, made money, and finally opened a financial management company.

He put all his trust in that person, and worked hard for the company side by side with him, how many times he forced himself to smile in order to make connections, and how many times he passed out because of drinking.Excited together when the market was rising, and smiled wryly side by side after losing money.But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was right in front of him, staring at him with those gentle peach blossom eyes.

In his previous life, most of his life was depressed and depressed, struggling for money, distressed by sexuality, and saddened by his family.He doesn't have a suitable education, no parents he can rely on, and he can't even talk about a love standing in the sun. He can only do his best to move forward, step by step out of those shackles, and find his own world.And Shen Jiankun was the one who stretched out his hand to him, the one who pulled him out of the complete quagmire.He taught himself the ability to make money, gave him confidence and happiness, and let him taste the taste of love.

That should have been his destination, the only thing he longed for all his life, but the other party didn't think so.

That person was too gambler. Although he looked gentle and appropriate, he was arrogant and self-satisfied in his heart. They had argued about this before, and he had sternly refuted the other party's intention to become a banker.That was 2007, and it was the era when Chinese bankers and factions were destroyed. Why should he be a small man to be a banker, and why can he do whatever he wants with the hard-earned money of those small citizens and retail investors?

But the other party finally did it secretly.Misappropriating client funds, maliciously spreading rumors, and manipulating the market on a small scale. When the bull market turned bearish in 07, he collapsed, and nearly ten million client funds were locked up in the stock market.The company is facing lawsuits, and the business is confused, and it is about to close down.Chen Yuanming really tried his best to save the two of them from this vortex, but at the last moment, the other party said lightly, turned around and left, and married the daughter of the chief financial officer.

Yes, there was never any promise or obligation between them, what was just a sweet illusion.

The glass was tightly squeezed in his hand, and Chen Yuanming only felt his head buzzing.How ridiculous, such a person, even today he can't forget, and he can't easily say forgetting.This is no longer pure love or hate, but a nightmare, a demon, a bloody scar that cannot be avoided.Maybe he should find this person again in this life, he should use everything he can think of to teach him enough lessons, he should...

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanming shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the mist in his eyes.No, this is his new life, he should have a better and more fulfilling life, instead of worrying about the grievances and grievances of his previous life.This life should be entirely your own!

Jumping profusely, Xiao Junyi couldn't hold it anymore, smiled and declined the invitation of the student girl, and walked to the dance floor.A group of friends were still having fun, and no one noticed his movements at all, so he was also happy, and ran to the bar to order a glass of beer.Only then did he see Chen Yuanming's figure.

Just so lonely, sitting bored in the shadow of the ballroom, holding a glass of drink in both hands, with a worried face, staring blankly ahead.His small body, which was not even considered tall, was sunken by the sofa, making it look even thinner.The whole ballroom seemed to be isolated from him, and no joy could be reflected on him.

Xiao Junyi frowned, suddenly feeling a little guilty.What's wrong with him today... Got mad at his uncle's tone of "look at other people's children"?No matter how old-fashioned and talented this child is, he is still only a 16-year-old child, still underage, living alone in Shanghai, as if he has not even attended school.Such a child, what an adult would he be angry with him!

Although he was spoiled by his parents since he was a child, the Xiao family's family style is indeed very upright, and Xiao Junyi is not the type who will hold grudges for trivial matters, and the slightest unhappiness is repelled by guilt in a blink of an eye.Taking a look at the time, he simply stood up and walked towards the other party.

"It's almost 8 o'clock, how about I take you home first?"

There was a lot of noise in the ballroom, and he was thinking about something again. It wasn't until a loud shout sounded in his ears that Chen Yuanming realized that someone was talking to him.Just stunned for a moment, he nodded. He really has no interest in this kind of young people's play.

"I'm going to borrow a car, you wait first..."

"I don't ride in a car."

"You... have the bus stopped now?!"

Xiao Junyi almost burst into flames again, but the other party's expression was still so calm, and he just repeated it quietly.

"Sorry, can't sit down. I'll just walk back."

In a word, the fire in Xiao Junyi's heart suddenly went out, yes, what he said was never "I don't want to sit", but "I can't".Looking at the other party's extremely serious expression, Xiao Junyi seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Okay, is a motorcycle okay?" Xiao Junyi asked tentatively, but Xiao Junyi gave up searching to the end.

Chen Yuanming thought for a while. His fear of cars seemed to be due to the height of the chassis and the confined space. He sat in the Audi 100 in Zhuhai for more than ten minutes. But it's not that serious, and the bus is okay.So, in theory, a kind of claustrophobia?

"Motorcycles should be fine." After only a moment, he finally made up his mind to give it a try.

"Well, you wait at the door first, I will come right away."

Walking out of the ballroom with turbid air, in front of you is the brightly lit river on the Bund.At this time, although Shanghai was still under construction and many roads were covered tightly, the night view on the Bund was still so beautiful.

"okay."

A voice interrupted his thoughts, and Xiao Junyi shook the key in his hand triumphantly, "Liangzi's Suzuki King, the horsepower is very good."

Chen Yuanming raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and followed the other party on the motorcycle.Probably because he was worried about someone behind him, Xiao Junyi didn't ride fast, his sight was blocked by the body in front of him, and the surrounding street was still empty. Chen Yuanming didn't feel any discomfort, but after riding for a while, the car suddenly turned around. Drive towards Nanjing Road.

"Where are you going?" Chen Yuanming asked loudly, not knowing why.

"Didn't you have dinner yet, I'll take you to a good place!" The voice from the front was full of complacency.

Three turns and two turns, a tall building appeared in front of him, Chen Yuanming frowned, International Hotel?He didn't think there was anything commendable about the food here. Unexpectedly, the other party's motorcycle didn't stop at the entrance of the International Hotel, but rode directly to the opposite door.After the car came to a steady stop with a creak, Xiao Junyi turned his head and made a gesture of invitation in a very chic manner.

Opposite the International Hotel is...a...KFC...

The old man with white beard was smiling and flashing red light, and Chen Yuanming was on the spot.

"How about it, I'll take you to have a drink." Without feeling embarrassed at all, Xiao Junyi stepped off the motorcycle freely, "It's hard to reserve a seat here, that is, people like me can find some connections. Let you try him Home’s ice cream cones are delicious.”

I go……

It is indeed a KFC, but it was only then that Chen Yuanming realized that the KFC in 92 was different from the later generations. At this time, there are no ten restaurants in the country. It is definitely a starbucks-level petty bourgeois trendy dining place. He really came with good intentions.

Suddenly a feeling of ridicule came to my heart.Chen Yuanming laughed, yes, but the eyes are a bit similar, so why should he vent his anger on this little guy?After all, he is brother Xiao's nephew, so the affection is still there.

"Okay, it's time to try his burger." The burgers in this era are so fresh.

It seemed that Chen Yuanming's voice had finally brought a tinge of joy, and Xiao Junyi also smiled.Let me just say, this kind of thing is the most effective for dealing with children.

But a child, why bother?

With the same thought in mind, both of them showed real smiles and walked into the KFC restaurant where life was full of excitement.
