Chapter 249: Settled in the Bag?
Looking back now, it was actually a godsend just now, as long as you put down the shelf and join in, with the background of being a colleague, you can say anything, and it is not embarrassing at all, it seems very natural.
Gao Hui and Lin Li asked Li Xin to go out to dinner today, it must be because Li Xin makes money, Li Xin's position is not lower than his own, what does it matter if he goes?
The more Ma Tianming regretted it in his heart, the more depressed he felt. When he was having dinner, he was absent-minded about what his wife told him, and when he sat on the sofa watching TV after dinner, he still felt that he should rub off on the heat, so call and talk to Li Xin now, congratulate him, or talk about the situation casually, in short, it will only be beneficial to talk to him today when Li Xin is in a good mood.
But when he picked up the phone, his hesitant mentality came out again: he wasn't sure if Li Xin and they had finished their meal now? If he hadn't finished eating, would it be a little inappropriate for him to talk to Li Xin like this, so that Gao Hui, Lin Li and the others who were sitting next to him could listen to it?
Thinking like this, the phone he was originally going to call Li Xin was suddenly changed to Lin Li, and he wanted to call Lin Li first to see how they were eating now.
That's why he called Lin Li just now, and asked Lin Li to make statistical reports, but in fact, this matter is not in a hurry at all, and it is completely too late to do it again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Judging from the phone call with Lin Li, Ma Tianming judged that Li Xin and their meal was still in full swing. Ma Tianming himself has experience, and he called Li Xin at this time, and he was absent-minded when he answered the phone at the wine table, and the conversation had no effect.
Also, Gao Hui, Lin Li and the others may have a lot of speculation when they hear their conversation with Li Xin, and it would be better to wait for Li Xin to call him after he gets home.
Ma Tianming looked at his watch, it was almost 9 o'clock now, Li Xin and the others hadn't finished eating, so what time would it be when Li Xin got home? If it was too late to call Li Xin, would it be inappropriate and make Li Xin feel disgusted?
Thinking about it like this, Ma Tianming just thought about the words he was going to say to Li Xin on the phone, as if there was something wrong with it, should these words be better told to Li Xin in person?
Ma Tianming suddenly felt that it was difficult to make this call tonight, even if he called Chairman Liu Zhongzhou, he would never let him be so embarrassed.
He was so entangled, until he went to bed at night, he didn't decide whether to call Li Xin or not.
Until he went to bed, Ma Tianming was still thoughtful. His wife saw that he was distracted all night, and at this time she still seemed to have something on her mind and couldn't let go, so she squeezed to his side and asked, "Look at your sad face all night, is something wrong?"
Ma Tianming said: "No. ”
His wife said, "Then why are you so depressed all night and don't say a word?"
Ma Tianming said impatiently: "You don't understand things at work. ”
When his wife saw Ma Tianming's attitude, she knew that her attempt to squeeze to Ma Tianming's side with hope had failed, so she "snorted" and turned her back.
The act of his wife turning around and leaving made Ma Tianming's heat that had just gathered in the nest suddenly cool down, and while he was cold, his heart also chuckled, and he realized that his wife had an intention to squeeze over just now.
Ma Tianming's heart moved: being idle is also idle, with being so boring, it is better to have fun with his wife, so that this lonely night will have more taste. Anyway, it's getting late now, and it's no longer appropriate to call Li Xin, so it's better to take the time to go to his office tomorrow and talk to him.
Thinking of this, he turned around and pulled his wife over, grabbed one of her hands, and put it in a key place.
His wife had been disappointed and was ready to spend the long night alone. Unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the better, Ma Tianming reached over and hugged him, grabbed his hand and put it in his most important place.
His wife was overjoyed, turned around, glanced at Ma Tianming, and muttered: "I don't know what to do!"
Ma Tianming didn't speak, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and motioned for his wife's hand to start moving.
His wife got instructions, and she was also worried that her twisting behavior would cause Ma Tianming's disgust and make good things come to naught, so she hurriedly cooked for him in the dark according to Ma Tianming's will.
Li Xin and the others rarely got together to eat, and the topics were familiar to everyone in the past, so the more they talked, the closer they became, and they didn't come out of the private room until the restaurant was about to close.
By the time Li Xin sent Gao Hui and the others home one by one, it was already late.
After Xia Xiaona returned home, her face was still red and her ears were hot, and she had a lot of things on her mind, so she didn't fall asleep until late.
Because of the way, after coming out of Xingyun Restaurant, Li Xin was the first to send her. When she got off the bus at the door of her house, Xia Xiaona originally wanted to tell Li Xin that she was free to come to the house to play, but in front of Gao Hui, Lin Li and other colleagues, this kind sentence that would not necessarily arouse the suspicion of others, Xia Xiaona was worried that others would listen to her laugh at herself, and the words had already reached her mouth, and she still didn't have the courage to say it.
This is one of the few experiences that Xia Xiaona has had at the same table as Li Xin, and she is very happy to have such an opportunity. I have had dinner with Li Xin a few times before, but that was at the company's entertainment banquet or the company's annual meeting, and when I went to the south with Wu Bin and others to investigate.
But since Li Xin is not in the same office as her, let alone eating together, there are not many opportunities to talk to Li Xin.
It turned out that when she was in the same office as Li Xin, Xia Xiaona didn't have any special feelings for Li Xin, but after Li Xin arrived at the station office, she gradually had a good impression of Li Xin in her heart.
But there is always a mistake between the two, and Xia Xiaona has never had a chance to talk about it. In addition, Li Xin and the chairman's secretary Wu Yunyu had such an intimate relationship, Xia Xiaona, as a colleague of the company, saw that Li Xin was accompanied by a beauty, she regretted not confessing to Li Xin, but also had an inexplicable resentment towards Li Xin. So her feelings for Li Xin have always been buried deep in her heart, and no one knows.
Now with the departure of Wuyunyu, the careful Xia Xiaona judged from Li Xin's words and deeds that the relationship between him and Wuyunyu seemed to have come to an end, which made Xia Xiaona see the opportunity again, and the flame in her heart that had gradually been extinguished now began to burn slowly again.
But Xia Xiaona belongs to the kind of girl who is particularly reserved and shy, and she is ashamed to show this feeling that has always been pressed in her heart. Just like at the dinner table tonight, she had a lot of words in her heart, but in front of her colleagues, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to express it, and just looked at Li Xin silently with a pair of beautiful eyes.
And Li Xin's feeling in this regard seems to be a little dull, especially since he never thought that his colleague Xia Xiaona, who was in the same office, would have such a hazy feeling for him. So until now, the two have maintained a very pure colleague relationship.
The next morning, Li Xin came to the office early as usual.
This morning's work is very tight, and one of the most important things is to close all the company's August contracts, which have a total volume of 4,000 tons.
The current trading volume of this contract has gradually begun to shrink, so it will take a lot of time for the 4,000 tons to be fully liquidated.
After the opening, just when Li Xin was engrossed in closing the position, Ma Tianming quietly walked in.
"Mr. Li, what are you busy with?" asked Ma Tianming with a smile on his face.
Li Xin heard the greeting, looked up and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Ma, I'm closing the position, do you have something?"
Ma Tianming said: "Congratulations, Mr. Li, I also heard yesterday afternoon that you have earned so much in one stroke, and it is time to settle down." ”
When Li Xin heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he said: "No, what I closed was not my own position, but the company's position." ”
Ma Tianming was taken aback and asked, "What's the matter, is the company going to admit compensation?"
Li Xin said: "It's not that meaning, it's still the concept of hedging, this contract in August should be out now, and the contracts of other months have not moved." ”
Ma Tianming walked over, stood behind Li Xin, looked at the computer screen and said thoughtfully, "Oh, that's the case." Have the positions you bought long yourself closed now?"
Li Xin said: "Not yet. ”
Ma Tianming inquired as if he was asking: "This copper price, looking at the current situation, should rise a little more?"
Li Xin was busy closing the position, and at the same time he dealt with him and said, "It should be." ”
Ma Tianming saw that Li Xin was constantly busy, and he couldn't say anything, so he took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Xin, how could Li Xin have time to smoke at this time, he waved his hand and signaled that he would not smoke, and Ma Tianming put the cigarette next to Li Xin's computer.
Ma Tianming lit the fire himself, stood by the desk and watched Li Xin operate, and after a while, Ma Tianming asked: "Do you think our sales company will have the opportunity to make some investments in futures copper in the future?"
Li Xin asked, "Does the sales company also plan to do this by itself?"
Ma Tianming said: "No, I'll just ask." ”
Li Xin said: "The key is to look at the chairman's opinion, if the group agrees to give you this kind of authority, and the funds are abundant, you can do it, and the sales company already has a futures account? If you want to operate alone, it is not difficult to open another account." ”
