Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

When "Black Thursday" came with a catastrophe, Zhu Ming'an was numb. He only noticed the statement from Zhen Guojun, but didn't notice Hu Quanzhen's whereabouts, and he didn't know that Tengda Day and Night Bank had gone bankrupt. He thought this time was the last time , I didn't take Zhen Guojun's announcement too seriously. After reading the "Hua Guang Daily" in the morning, Zhu Ming'an first hung up the phone to Sun Ya at the newspaper office, and wanted Sun Ya to think of a way to quickly write a beautiful article to restore the bad influence created. He never thought about it, but he couldn't find it.I looked for Hu Quanzhen again, but still couldn't find it. The staff who answered the phone stammered, not daring to say that Hu Quanzhen was kidnapped by the Zhen Guojun, but only said that he was invited, and Zhu Mingan didn't care.He also called Chief He and asked Chief He if he had seen the statement published by Zhen Guojun in the newspaper?Director He said that he saw it, and asked Zhu Ming'an to ignore it, and even scolded Liu Dujun on the phone for being poor and crazy!

The whole morning, Zhu Ming'an didn't go to the exchange on Moss Road! At noon, Yu Wanzhen came back, and when they met, she said that the overall market situation was not good, and that "New Far East" was falling sharply, and she was afraid of a collapse. Zhu Mingan panicked now, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he went to the exchange. After hearing Mr. Tian's report at the exchange, Zhu Ming'an's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he sat in the office and kept in touch with Mr. He by phone. However, at this time, Zhu Mingan still didn't know that this was the end of the "New Far East". He told Mr. He as soon as the market opened in the afternoon, and asked Mr. He to tell everyone that in order to prevent the fall, everyone's stocks in the exchange You can't throw them away, and you have to try your best to eat in, and try to stabilize the stock price at around 10 yuan first, so as to avoid the final collapse.

Director He agreed, and said on the phone: "Ming An, you are right. At this time, we must eat, and we all join hands to eat, otherwise, everyone will be ruined." Zhu Mingan thought of Hu Quanzhen again, and said eagerly to Mr. He: "Mr. He, you still have to find a way to find Mr. Zhen, and let Mr. Zhen take the lead. After all, Day and Night Bank is rich and powerful—of course, you can let Mr. Zhen do it again." It would be better if a few relevant banks and money dealers entrust it." Director He repeatedly promised: "Okay, okay, I will tell Mrs. Zhen and everyone, let's eat together!" He said again: "Ming An, don't panic, as long as I'm here, everything can be solved !"

However, everyone bought in——Yu Wanzhen bet nearly 100,000 jewels that had never been touched, to buy the stock of "New Far East", but the stock of the stock still fell, and the situation of collapse had already formed , everything really sucks. When the night market was about to close, Director He called again and told Zhu Ming'an and Yu Wanzhen that it was broken, Hu Quanzhen's Day and Night Bank had gone bankrupt, and he was arrested by the Zhen Guojun, and "New Far East" had become a bad stock , everyone, polish the stock and run for your life! Zhu Mingan and Yu Wanzhen were dumbfounded all of a sudden...

It was only later that I found out: They were duped. When they were taking in a large sum of money, Mr. He was throwing it away, and Sun Yaxian and Xu Jiansheng were also throwing it away. Friends are originally birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately. Believe in friendship and faith - naturally, no one believes that this wave of disaster can be contained by man-made forces. There was only one person who didn't sell, and bought 4,000 shares at the price of 10 yuan—this person was actually Bai Mudan, which Zhu Ming'an and Yu Wanzhen didn't expect!

That night, when Zhu Ming'an and Yu Wanzhen returned home in a daze, Bai Mudan called, and first revealed Mr. He's truth, and then cried on the phone, saying that he had become poor again. Yu Wanzhen also wanted to cry, but she bit her lip and held back, and persuaded Bai Mudan, "You are not a poor man, we... our 'New Far East' is still... not finally dumped today, our stocks are still worth it." It's more than one yuan! Tomorrow...tomorrow, let's throw it away!" Bai Mudan said with a wry smile: "Can you still sell it? Tengda Day and Night Bank is over, and it's not like people don't know about our relationship with Tengda Day and Night Bank. I'm afraid the stock will be worthless when the market opens tomorrow! You still can't see What? Tomorrow must be our end!"

Yu Wanzhen's hand holding the microphone trembled, and she could no longer speak. Bai Mudan asked Zhu Mingan to answer the phone. Zhu Ming'an took the microphone in a daze, and scolded Mr. He and Sun Yaxian as soon as he opened his mouth. Bai Mudan calmed down, and said: "Ming An, don't be angry, he didn't intend to harm us - he just wanted to escape for his life! If we want to blame, we can only blame ourselves for being stupid! Think about it, who else would be as stupid as us ?” Zhu Mingan murmured: "Also... and Mr. Wang, a layman in the West Lake, is probably stupid..."

Bai Mudan laughed wildly on the phone: "Mr. Wang is not stupid! I found him this afternoon and wanted him to buy some stocks. Guess what? He ignored him and advised me to sell it quickly. The 40,000 shares of Xing Chuzhi were thrown away on the night of Xing Chuzhi's disturbance, and they were all sold for more than 20 yuan!" Zhu Ming'an was stunned: he never imagined that this old layman, who was full of words, would be so shrewd. He had sniffed out the scent more than ten days ago, and secretly sold all 40,000 shares!People really cannot be described by appearances. Bai Mudan still said on the phone: "We all underestimated this Layman Wang. He went through the Langezhi rubber trend in the second year of Xuantong, and he also lost more than one thousand taels of cash back then. When I saw Mr. Wang, Wang The gentleman just said that he waited for this opportunity for 10 years..."

Zhu Mingan just sighed into the microphone. Bai Mudan also sighed, and said while sighing: "I'm afraid I'm the stupidest one! Layman Wang made it so clear to me, and I knew it was useless to eat it, but I still ate it. You know it's for who?" Zhu Ming'an kept Yu Wanzhen in front of him, held the microphone and said nothing. Bai Mudan sighed again: "I have no conscience because of you!" Tears welled up in Zhu Ming'an's eyes, and he choked up and said, "I know." Bai Mudan finally said: "This is the case now, let's not talk about it, don't worry, and what's more, you can't think of a dead end, okay?"

Tears welled up in Zhu Ming'an's eyes, and he hung up the phone with a "hmm". Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone was hung up, the bell rang again. Zhu Mingan thought it was Bai Mudan, so he didn't answer it. Yu Wanzhen picked it up, and it was Mr. Tian from the exchange. Mr. Tian said: "Mrs. Eight, things are not good! There are people gathered at the entrance of the 'New Far East' exchange, all waiting for dawn to sell their stocks. The order is very chaotic. Someone from the patrol room has come and wants to talk to the chairman." Yu Wanzhen replied: "Just say you can't find it in the middle of the night!"

Putting down the microphone, Yu Wanzhen saw that Zhu Ming'an's eyes were red and his face was ugly, so she suppressed the sadness in her heart, put on a smile all over her face, snuggled into Zhu Ming'an's arms and said, "Ming'an, let's go to sleep, it's getting late... " However, Zhu Ming'an hugged Yu Wanzhen and cried, crying and saying: "Auntie, I... I have hurt you, I have hurt you! Except for this mansion, I will lose everything... Already!" Yu Wanzhen gently wiped away the tears from Zhu Ming'an's eyes with the back of her hand and said, "Look at what you said! How could you have lost all of this? I have lost all of it myself! The exchange is also... I want to run it! Besides, Now I not only have this mansion, but also you, I am content!" But Zhu Ming'an couldn't listen, and couldn't help thinking about the difficult tomorrow.Immediately thinking that the bankruptcy of Tengda Day and Night Bank has become a fact, and the money of "New Far East" has become a bad debt, he is afraid that the creditors will auction off the top account of the small mansion because of his relationship with Yu Wanzhen, so he is frightened Cold sweat—the small building in the mansion can't be kept, and his beloved aunt will be miserable!Then she pushed Yu Wanzhen away, and said very assertively: "Auntie, the 'New Far East' is over, you can no longer stay here, you...you have to hurry up, go at dawn at the latest, and go to your hometown in the countryside to avoid the limelight!" Yu Wanzhen didn't understand for a moment, she stared at Zhu Ming'an in a daze: "Why?" Zhu Ming'an shared his worries, and said: "Tomorrow will be a hard day, and if those crazy people make trouble here, you won't be able to handle it." Only then did Yu Wanzhen realize that Zhu Ming'an was thinking of her, and was moved in her heart. She grabbed Zhu Ming'an's neck and said, "Then...then I can't go anymore! Didn't you say it? As long as I'm by your side, you won't leave Panic." Zhu Ming'an said anxiously: "Auntie, don't worry, I won't panic if you're not around, I've been through something for a while!" Yu Wanzhen smiled wryly: "What's the matter, you are still a little boy in my eyes—you will always be a little boy. I don't feel relieved to let you deal with such a big matter alone!" With a "plop", Zhu Ming'an knelt down in front of Yu Wanzhen: "Auntie, let me beg you, okay? You go back to live for a while, and I will pick you up as soon as the limelight passes..." Yu Wanxin suddenly felt like a loving mother, she held Zhu Mingan in her arms, stroked Zhu Mingan's face and said, "You better go! Auntie stays here and bears it, I am a woman, forgive them You can’t force me to death!” Then he said, “It’s been so long since you came back from Japan, but you haven’t gone home—you always say go back, but you never go back, you should go back this time, look at your mother! She stays together for a few days." Zhu Ming'an burst into tears, dripping onto Yu Wanzhen's embroidered slippers: "Auntie, I always listened to you in the past, you... can't you listen to me once today?" Yu Wanzhen gently shook her head... With a cruel heart, Zhu Ming'an suddenly pushed Yu Wanzhen down, but got up himself, and said sharply, "You have to go, and you have to go anyway! I am the chairman of the 'New Far East'! I have to settle any bad debts owed to others." , nothing to do with you! If you don't leave, now I...I will hang myself in front of you!" Yu Wanzhen stepped forward and hugged Zhu Ming'an's leg, sobbing: "Ming'an, auntie is...worried about you, you...you will still..." Zhu Mingan opened his blood-red eyes and said angrily, "You want to say I'm a little boy again? Do you?" It was the first time that Yu Wanzhen was afraid of Zhu Ming'an, and she didn't dare to make a sound. Only then did Zhu Ming'an help Yu Wanzhen up and said: "Auntie, men and women are still different in this world. I am a big man. At this time, I have to do my best. Let you stay here as a woman, and I will be able to do it again in the future." Seeing someone? You will also look down on me in your heart! Don't you always hope that I will become a decent man?" Yu Wanzhen nodded with tears in her eyes: "Ming An, you...you have really become a big man!" Zhu Mingan asked: "Then you agreed to leave?" Yu Wanzhen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Zhu Ming'an said, "Okay, let's pack things right away..." Yu Wanzhen didn't want to leave right away, she looked at the wall clock on the wall, saw that the hour hand pointed to the word three, she snuggled into Zhu Ming'an's arms and said, "It's still early, my aunt will stay with you for a while." Zhu Mingan said anxiously: "It's better to leave early, I don't know what's going on at dawn!" However, Zhu Ming'an didn't hold back Wanzhen too much in the end, Yu Wanzhen fell into Zhu Ming'an's arms, and lingered with Zhu Ming'an's temples until almost four o'clock, still showing no intention of leaving. Zhu Mingan urged again. Only then did Yu Wanzhen raise her head in Zhu Ming'an's arms, and asked with teary eyes: "Ming An, you...do you want me to leave like this? You...you don't want me anymore?" Zhu Ming'an understood, hugged Yu Wanzhen with infinite tenderness, and put Yu Wanzhen on the bed... I never thought that this tenderness before parting was the most failed one. The more he wanted to do well, the more he couldn't do well. In the end, he cried on Yu Wanzhen's body and said shamelessly: "Auntie, I... I'm so useless. ..." But Yu Wanzhen said: "As long as I can stay with you for a while longer, I'm quite satisfied..." It wasn't until the dim dawn, almost six o'clock, that Yu Wanzhen reluctantly kissed Zhu Mingan goodbye at the gate of the mansion. Sitting in the rickshaw, Yu Wanzhen finally confessed to Zhu Ming'an: "Ming'an, no matter what you do, you can't think about it. Money is something outside of your body. You don't bring it with you when you are born, and you don't take it away when you die..." Zhu Ming'an said: "I know, you can leave at ease! I'm leaving soon, to the exchange." The wheel of the rickshaw turned after another goodbye kiss. When the wheel turned, Zhu Ming'an saw a sycamore leaf hanging on the shiny car rail, spinning a circle of gray and yellow on the wheel.Behind the dark yellow car, the red cloak on Yu Wanzhen's petite body was fluttering like a billowing flag. Yu Wan really left, and he was bravely and resolutely persuading her to leave, it was like a dream!For a moment, Zhu Ming'an suddenly felt that he had lost his support, and felt remorse suddenly in his heart, and couldn't help but panic for a while.So, with his almost numb legs and feet, he subconsciously chased out the gate, trying to call the rickshaw to stop.But there seemed to be something blocked in his throat, and he couldn't cry out.After chasing for a few steps on the street, when I wanted to shout again, the rickshaw had already gone, passed the gate of the old police house, and went onto Hede Road. Yu Wanzhen in the rickshaw kept looking back at him and beckoned to him, and he also waved to Yu Wanzhen in the rickshaw until the rickshaw turned a corner on Hede Road and could no longer be seen, still standing alone in a daze. on the way.
