Xiao Huai has been gone for a week, a week without news.

Lin Fei regretted that he was only busy with work during this time, and completely ignored the recent economic news reports about "sharp fluctuations in the stock market, or deliberate shorting by foreign financial institutions".

First of all, several securities such as CITIC Securities, Haitong Securities, and Huatai Securities were subject to administrative penalties by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for suspected violations of laws and regulations such as failing to review and understand the identities of overseas customers in accordance with regulations.

Then, the head of the China region of the world's largest listed hedge fund was taken away by the police to help investigate the recent sharp volatility in the securities market.

Not long after, China's official manufacturing data was released, and the actual value was far lower than expected, falling below the key boom and bust line, setting a new low for manufacturing data. In addition, under the influence of multiple negative effects such as the withdrawal of quantitative easing by the United States, the central parity of the RMB exchange rate against the US dollar (foreign exchange market) fell one after another, with a decline of nearly 10%.

There has been a lot of speculation about who has been shorting China in the past few days.

I don't remember the day when there was a lot of talk about Deutsche Investment Bank shorting China. Xiao Huai used to be bearish on the Hong Kong dollar and the Australian dollar, and after a new round of smears by the Internet water army, Xiao Huai and Deutsche Investment Bank seem to have become the masterminds behind shorting the Australian dollar and trying to short the yuan. As for the hedge fund under Xiao Huai's name, it has become an accomplice in shorting the renminbi.

Lin Li's heart was a little panicked, especially when she dialed Xiao Huai's mobile phone again and again, and the call was always unanswered, she concluded that he had an accident.

In the midst of her anxious waiting, she saw a headline with a sensational headline - "Deutsche Investment Bank Suspected of Shorting China's Stock Market"

Read the article carefully, but the actual content is irrelevant.

Deutsche Investment Bank did not short the stock market at all, but only provided a "synthetic short" stock product.

The so-called "shorting" is an operation mode in the stocks, futures and other markets, as opposed to "long". "Synthetic shorting" refers to the use of instruments such as options, futures, and swaps to short the stock market. Due to the small number of stocks that can be used for "synthetic shorting", the use of this product is limited and cannot have a serious impact on the stock market. Most importantly, banks that offer "synthetic shorting" products are not themselves shorting the stock market.

Lin was so angry that she left a message on the newspaper's official Weibo account, expressing her indignation at the false report.

Unexpectedly, she was scolded by the water army under the official blog.

Good quality accused her of being "unpatriotic".

The poor quality sprayed her as a "traitor", and even threatened to flesh her.

Lin Li was angry and dialed Guan Yi's phone: "Is there a way to find out the origin of the water army?" ”

Guan Yi replied very truthfully: "The water army is hired by an online public relations company, and the online public relations company is entrusted to Xiao Huai's sworn rival. Unless you can find out who or which institutions Xiao Huai's nemesis is, there is no way to find out. ”

Guan Yi asked, "Do you have any suspicions?" ”

"I suspect it's Ji Yunchong, but I don't have evidence, even if there is evidence, I can't do anything with Ji Yunchong alone."

After the death of his parents, Lin Li was rarely as fragile and uneasy as he is now, and kept chattering: "Guan Yi, am I dragging Xiao Huai down?" Ji Yunchong once said that he wanted to watch me break up with Xiao Huai, but I didn't disclose this sentence for fear of causing Xiao Huai's unhappiness. If I hadn't been so focused on my work, if I had been able to detect the misinformation in time, maybe, maybe ......"

Her heart was filled with endless self-reproach, and she couldn't go on.

Guan Yi hurriedly comforted his friend: "Xiao Huai is the leading big man in the financial industry, you have to believe in his ability to deal with unexpected problems." On the contrary, it's you, living alone in an old bungalow, inevitably cranky, why don't you come to me and live with me for a few days? ”

"No, I'm going to stay here and wait for Xiao Huai."

Such thoughts supported Lin Fei to live alone in the empty old bungalow, until one day, she received a call from Leo, telling her to turn on the TV and watch the live press conference.

Through the LCD screen, Lin Li finally saw Xiao Huai, who had been absent for two weeks.

It was an expanded press conference held at 34 on the Bund, and dozens of domestic and foreign media outlets came to the venue. Xiao Huai, a foreigner, answered questions from reporters in German throughout the whole process.

The first question is whether to admit to shorting the Australian dollar last year. Xiao Huai's answer is that he is only bearish, and has never been actually short.

The second question is about the opinion of the head of the world's largest listed hedge fund in China who was taken away by the police. Xiao Huai's answer was that he had no comment.

The third question is, whether it admits to being suspected of jointly shorting China with overseas financial institutions? Xiao Huai's answer is that this question will be answered in the following sessions.

After answering the three questions, Xiao Huai no longer accepted the questions, but issued a statement.

"Individuals and hedge funds under their names have never hindered the healthy development of China's regional economy."

"In order to avoid affecting the continuation of the normal and friendly investment business of Deutsche Investment Bank in China, I will step down as Managing Director of China with immediate effect."

The reporters in the venue reacted flatly, as if they had expected Xiao Huai to take the blame and resign, but Lin Li in front of the TV was shocked.

Xiao Huai paused for a moment and said calmly: "There is still something to be announced, not by me, but by the next managing director." I am glad to have contributed to this in my short tenure, and it can be regarded as a good example of cooperation between Chinese and foreign pharmaceutical companies. ”

Xiao Huai left the table, and a blonde German man stepped onto the rostrum and began to speak in serious terms.

With the active efforts of the previous managing director, Merck KGaA's will increase its stake in the Chinese and Western Pharmaceutical Group by 20%. In this way, Zhongxi Pharmaceutical Group will achieve foreign control and will be involved in many emerging industries such as high-quality agriculture, biomedicine, and high-tech industry investment. ”

"I believe that through a variety of investment methods such as project investment and equity investment, as well as capital operation means such as encouraging employee stock ownership, Zhongxi Pharmaceutical will gradually develop into a large pharmaceutical group with broad development prospects."

This was unexpected breaking news, and the audience was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

According to the new managing director, Merck holds 20% of the shares, and it is absolutely impossible for the major shareholder of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical to give up its 34% equity, and the absolute controlling position of 54% is unshakable - Dongsheng Group cannot forcibly acquire Zhongxi Pharmaceutical, and the acquisition plan has completely failed!

Not only that, the stock price of Chinese and Western pharmaceuticals is bound to rise sharply.

Lin Li looked intently at Xiao Huai on the screen, looking at his calm face, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was extremely emotional.

People all over the world are bustling and tense, some are busy attacking and slandering after fame and fortune, and some are eager to be popular but keep complaining and whining, Xiao Huai is different, turning silence into action, and replacing words with action, working seriously until the last moment of resignation, giving those who watch his jokes a most personable response.

At this time, the new managing director had already finished his statement and said to reporters: "The senior management of the investment bank intends to transfer back to the Munich headquarters, temporarily avoid rumors and are reluctant to leave here, and love this land deeply, please be merciful and write a few more fair and just words for him......

Lin Li didn't finish listening, and couldn't wait to get out of the bungalow, and took a taxi to No. 34 on the Bund. There, the reporters still did not disperse, and they wanted to send the news back to the agency, website, and TV station as quickly as possible, and spread the picture of Xiao Huai walking out of the building after leaving office to everyone.

Perhaps, there will be a sentence on the headlines of tomorrow's economic page: There has never been a defeat in six years, and the army has been defeated overnight.

The reporters were waiting for the moment when Xiao Huai appeared at the gate.

Lin Fei was also waiting. She stood across the street, standing next to a cab, her eyes staring straight at Building 34.

Finally, Xiao Huai walked out of the building.

He has a tall posture and a steady gait, and even when he is at a low ebb in his career, he still looks clear and exudes the charm of a legend.

The reporters wanted to rush up, but after seeing him, they all stood at the bottom of the steps and waited, and the question changed from "whether to admit that they paid a painful price for shorting A-shares" to "when do you plan to make a comeback"?

Xiao Huai opened his mouth slightly, but heard a loud and clear call: "! ”

Xiao Huai followed the prestige, and with just one glance, he saw a woman in the crowd who had been separated for more than a dozen days and nights, making him think about it for a long time.

Lin Li shouted at him again: ". This time, his voice was significantly lower, less eager, and more shy in front of everyone, but his tone did not hide his longing.

Xiao Huai pushed away the microphone that was blocking in front of him and strode towards her.

She ran for him.

Neither she nor he realized that this was the first time the two of them were on the same parallel line, moving in the same direction.

The distance of dozens of meters is not too long, the flashing lights around her are flashing non-stop, and the picture of how she and him approach each other step by step, holding fingers, hugging and kissing, and then both turning back to the taxi and walking away, has become an eye-catching explosion at this moment.

Perhaps, tomorrow's news headlines will have another sentence: What if there has been no defeat in six years, and what if the army is defeated overnight? Josephhsiao exits with a smile on the part of the mysterious woman.

However, the two people sitting in the taxi didn't care what the newspaper would write tomorrow, he and her reunited after a long absence, and they had endless words.

"Why did you pick me up?"

"I miss you, so I can't wait to come and pick you up."

"The investigation here is not the same as in Germany, the mobile phone has been confiscated, and I can't get in touch with you."

"It's okay, I understand."

At this time, the taxi turned right into Zhenning Road, and there was a black Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road, with double flashing lights, which was very eye-catching.

Lin Li guessed that Ji Yunchong was sitting in the car, and was about to shout to stop, when his arm was grabbed by Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai said: "I don't like to do pointless verbal disputes. There are some things that I know by heart. ”

Lin Fei no longer insisted, stared at the car for a while, turned his head and snuggled up to Xiao Huai's shoulder.

The taxi arrives at the old bungalow later.

As soon as the two entered the door, before Xiao Huai could turn on the light, Lin Lijing hooked his neck with both hands, stood on tiptoe and kissed his beloved man deeply.

Soft hands roamed over his chest, unceremoniously ripped off his tie and buttoned his shirt. The other hand found the belt buckle, unfastened it, and pulled the zipper down without saying a word, feeling the male bulge.

He grabbed her hand.

She buried her head in his collarbone and sucked carefully: "I miss you so much, I miss you almost can't leave you." Do you miss me? ”

His breathing suddenly became chaotic, and a slightly hoarse voice spat out one word: "Yes." ”

"What was interrupted that day...... Now do you want to continue ......?"

It's a place of harmony.

Here there is harmony and snapping.

Here continues the harmonious snapping.

The excitement was difficult to calm down for a while, and she lay on the bed tiredly, motionless. He pulled off the quilt and bloodstained sheets, and carried her into the bathtub.

She was so tired that she was about to collapse, but he was very energetic to help her scrub her body.

After packing everything up, he carried her back to the bed, put his arms around her, and let her head be pressed close to his heart.

She finally regained some strength, stuck out her tongue like a kitten and licked his lips, and her voice was soft and thin: "Honey, are you considered an unemployed youth now." ”

"Forget it."

"Don't be sad, I'm about to get a salary increase, I'll support you."

He smiled heavily: "Thank you, Lord Gold." What can I do for you? ”

When he spoke, his eyebrows were pouted and gentle, his voice was mellow and magnetic, and his tail note was raised, which was very different from the solemn attitude of the press conference, which was the intimacy that could only be shown in front of her.

Her heart pounded, and she motioned him to lower her head with her eyes, pursed her lips and kissed him: "Let's start dating." ”

He was silent, with an unspeakable feeling in his heart, and leaned over to kiss her: "I'm sorry, I've never officially dated you." ”

So the first date happened on the night he became an unemployed young man.

As for the content of the first date, he and her revisited the award-winning German film, "Kitchen of the Mind".

Of course, when the two of them nested in bed and saw some pictures of the eighteen prohibitions, they couldn't help but practice it again.

Afterwards, she panted and asked, "Don't you understand anything?" Why know so much? ”

He leaned on her chest and breathed, and said for a while: "I haven't practiced, it doesn't mean I don't understand." ”

"Is there anything else you know that I don't understand?"

"A lot. There is such a ...... And, so ............"

Long nights, shame until dawn.

*

In mid-June, Dongsheng Group issued a notice to terminate the tender offer because it could not meet the conditions of the public tender offer. So far, the 53-day anti-takeover war has come to an end with the success of Chinese and Western pharmaceutical industries.

Dongsheng Group's share price also changed the momentum of continuous rise and dived for several trading days. It is not uncommon for retail investors who have been at the helm to sell their stocks and reduce their positions and flee.

Xiao Huai's career has entered a period of stagnation, but his relationship with Lin Li has entered a period of passionate love.

He was suddenly idle, not only to take over the management of the restaurant "1936", but also to take care of her more time. For example, picking her up from work, learning to cook a loving breakfast, from a big figure in the financial circle, to a good family man.

No matter how busy Lin Li is at work, he has learned to take a break from his busy schedule and date with his beloved.

Eat barbecue on the road, watch midnight movies, sing karaoke, and play board games...... What ordinary couples have done, he and she have done it all over again.

It's a pity that the day to travel to Vietnam is just around the corner.

It was precisely because the day of going to Vietnam was getting closer and closer, after a date, he took her hand and walked on the quiet path under the moonlit night, and asked without warning in the sound of cicadas: "Lin Li, would you like to introduce me to your family?" ”

She looked at him in amazement.

"You've been gone for three years, and I want to meet your family as your boyfriend, both as a greeting to them and as a promise to them. No matter where the world is, my feelings for you will not change in any way. ”

In the face of such words, her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she lowered her head suddenly.

After a while, she lifted her face, her eyes were shining, covered with a thin layer of tears, but a happy smile bloomed on her lips.

"Okay, let's go see Grandma and Mom and Dad tomorrow." 166 Reading Network
