Chapter 24 Section 3

He stared at me, a little fire dancing in his dark eyes.He sat on the carpet in front of the rocking chair and looked up at me halfway, "Can you answer me a question honestly?" I nodded, no one can refuse his eyes at this time. "Does everyone in the company believe that Song Yi will win?" If I had known this was the problem, I would have refused anyway.I said aloud: "I don't know, it shouldn't be! It's just a fair competition, besides, Mike has always appreciated you and has been doing his best to help you...I...Actually..." Under his eyes, my head gradually Going down, humming and chirping for a long while, he decided to pour the beans out of the bamboo tube, and poured them all out in one breath, "Song Yi graduated from a famous American school, and many people on Wall Street are alumni of him, you should also know that, Americans attach great importance to the alumni group. He worked at the headquarters for another six years, and his colleagues privately said that he has a good relationship with several big heads of MG. Some colleagues who were on a business trip to New York saw photos of him playing golf with them. Said, in fact, the superiors have already identified him, but it’s not good to save Mike’s face, and it’s not good to hurt the enthusiasm of the employees. After all, you are the founding hero of MG China, so this cutscene must go.”

The room was so quiet that it was chilling. I searched my brains to find a few words to comfort him, but my head was in a daze. After thinking for a long time, I could only come up with a sentence, "Everyone in China's financial circles knows your ability. , there is no place to keep people here, but there is a place to keep people!" As soon as the words came out, seeing his face, I immediately realized that I said something wrong, and I said a big wrong thing, "No, no, I didn't mean that, of course MG won't let you leave, and of course you won't Leaving MG..."

"Okay, don't say any more." He cut off my face blankly, and the blacker I was, I was full of annoyance, so I could only pick up the wine glass and drink a glass. Fortunately, there is wine in the world, no matter whether it is a thousand sorrows or a thousand thoughts, it can always make you forget temporarily. . Lu Licheng also picked up the wine glass, and the two drank the wine in silence. After drinking half of the jar of sorghum wine, Lu Licheng gradually talked more.He unconsciously rocked the rocking chair for me. I curled up on it, squinted my eyes, and kept laughing.

"Su Man, I have always worked hard. Everything I have today was achieved with my bare hands. Fourteen years ago, when I entered Beijing, my luggage was just a quilt and three sets of clothes." I nodded vigorously. "I am a rural candidate. My parents just knew how to write their own names. Everything depends on me. Our province's college entrance examination scores are high, unlike your Beijing students. The scores of Beijingers who went to Tsinghua University and Peking University just exceeded the key points in our province. The admission score of the university."

"Well, well, shake it lightly, I'm a little dizzy." He shook gently obediently, "I graduated from a little-known small university in Beijing. Song Yi graduated from Tsinghua University. I got a part-time MBA from Renmin University. He has a master's degree in finance from Berkeley. I worked for Mike in China. Starting from making phone calls, making coffee, and recording meeting summaries, he was an elite on Wall Street as soon as he came out. It took me ten years to get to where I am today, and it only took him six years. Worse than him, what he can do, I can do, but what I can do in the Chinese market, he may not be able to do."

Hearing Song Yi's name, my head hurts and my heart is very confused. I went to serve the wine, but found that the glass was empty, "I want to drink." While he was talking, he handed me his wine glass casually. I held his hand and drank a couple of sips. "But..." Lu Licheng shook his head and laughed, "The current situation in China is so strange. As long as it is a sea turtle returning from abroad, it will have an invisible halo. It seems that as long as it is a turtle, it is doomed to be born weak." Why are his words so familiar?After thinking hard for a long time, I finally remembered that a teacher in college, when he went to England, left me with a sigh similar to this. The school clamored every day to create a world-class college and engage in talent introduction, and the result was to introduce I killed a bunch of turtles and forced away a bunch of wood turtles. My favorite teacher is one of the teachers who were forced to leave.The eldest sister seems to have said similar things, the headquarter would turn a blind eye to the vacancies in the senior management of the company even if there are suitable talents in China, and just like to take the painstaking efforts to get one from overseas.

Thinking of that teacher, who is already old, but is forced by life to go abroad, everything has to start again, and thinking of the career bottleneck of my eldest sister, I sighed. Lu Licheng heard my sigh, added some wine to me, and clinked the glass with me, "I don't sigh myself, why are you sighing? I believe that everything is human!" I drank the wine with him in a muddleheaded way. When I put down the glass, I couldn't remember why I sighed just now. I just looked at the determination and confidence in his brows, felt his determination to move forward, and stood up for him for no reason. happy.

Seeing my smile, he laughed too, "Su Man, I..." He stared at me, hesitating to speak.I reached out to touch the wine glass, and he held my hand with a strangely gentle expression, "Stop drinking, I'm bringing you out tonight, not for travel expenses, but to tell you something, I... I ...Do you want to hear a secret?" His eyes were actually nervous. I nodded, nodded again, grinning, put my index finger on my lips and made a gesture, bent down, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice: "I, I'll tell you a secret...a secret, You have to keep it a secret. I...I really... like Song Yi so much."

He tilted his head, fell on his shoulder, and passed out completely. ~~~~~~~~ When I woke up in the morning, I had a splitting headache. I looked at a completely unfamiliar hut and didn't know where I was. I was stunned for a long time before I remembered Lu Licheng. This house belongs to Lu Licheng!I jumped up from the bed and shouted loudly: "Lu Licheng, Lu Licheng..." There was no sound in the room except for the ticking sound of an old alarm clock on the table by the window. I walked over and picked up the note that was lying down. "The phone number below can take you back to the city."

No explanation, no apology, nothing but a cell phone number.Last night was half clear, half blurry, at first I was scared, then I was angry, then I didn't seem to be angry anymore, we were drinking, and then... I woke up.I frowned and thought, what exactly does Lu Licheng mean? Could it be because Friday night is too boring, so I need to grab someone to drink with him? Muttering and cursing at him, according to his instructions, I dialed the phone number, and the other party said to pick me up in fifteen minutes.I wiped my face in a hurry, opened the refrigerator, took a banana from the refrigerator, and got into an old van. When I got out of the van to pay the bill, the man refused my money in Beijing dialect, "Mr. Lu will pay. .” After speaking, he drove the car out of my sight.

I dragged a bunch of luggage and walked into my building with mixed feelings. Is it easy for me to go home?I called my mother and told her that I would go home tomorrow, but I couldn't move anymore today, so I decided to take a bath first, and then let Malatang clean me up.
