Lin Li received a call from Guan Yi that night, and the first sentence of his friend's mouth was like thunder on the ground: "You hooked up with a big shot?" ”

Lin Li: "......"

"I called Xiao Huai's office phone today and invited him to dinner, and he replied, 'Lin Li and I are also friends, so you don't have to be polite.' Guan Yi exclaimed, "You took him back to the car, how did you become his friend?" ”

Lin Li simply described what happened after taking a ride, and did not mention the accident that occurred when selling the house at all: "You think too much, this is a polite remark often said at a dinner party." ”

"That's what I thought at first, so I had to thank him again for taking you home, and guess what he said?"

"Can't guess."

"Let's try."

"Not trying."

"He said, 'There is a small puddle where Lin Li got off the car, and the driver should move the car one meter more.'" Guan Yi smiled and said, "I think he seems to be a little interesting to you." ”

Lin Li was silent for a few seconds: "He remembered the wrong person, there is no pit at the intersection of Zhenning Road." ”

"Huh?!"

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to the hospital on duty, and we'll talk when I have time."

Having said that, when Lin Li walked to the intersection of Zhenning Road and hailed a taxi, he unconsciously glanced at the ground a few more times - the road surface is smooth, where did the pit come from? How can there be pits?

A taxi approached, and she put aside her distractions to catch up, completely unaware that her heels had stepped on a small puddle, and the mud was splashing and staining the upper.

Perhaps because the property market was in a low period, Lin Li returned to the life of receiving buyers to see the house, but the result was not over, and he continued to receive buyers to see the house.

Towards the end of the year, the inexplicable number of calls gradually increased. For two days in a row, she didn't pay attention to her mobile phone on the night shift, and after work, she found several strange missed calls.

Number location: Munich.

Ring duration: 48 seconds.

She didn't hesitate to drag the number into the blacklist and mark it: Transparent Fraud.

Later, Lin's leave request was approved by the hospital, and she began to prepare for the trip, going to the bank to exchange huàn euros and apply for a credit card limit adjustment.

The TV in the bank hall was broadcasting news, two news related to Xiao Huai.

First, several foreign investment bank strategists have predicted that China's manufacturing data in the fourth quarter is very likely to rise strongly, and the Australian dollar has bottomed out due to the positive impact of China's economy.

Second, under the leadership of the China branch of Deutsche Investment Bank, two domestic commercial banks completed mergers and acquisitions.

Lin Li knew that Xiao Huai stopped being bearish on the Australian dollar, but he didn't know the significance of mergers and acquisitions, so he searched for news comments on his mobile phone and learned that mergers and acquisitions of commercial banks are conducive to asset restructuring, resolving non-performing assets, and increasing profit margins.

On a whim, she added a comment to the comment column: No, Ming, Jue, and Great.

After the teller finished handling the business for Lin Li, he asked through the glass window, "Madam, what else can serve you?" ”

Lin wanted to say "no" and instead asked: "If I want to invest in Australian dollars, how should I do it?" ”

The teller quickly said a formulaic process: first open a foreign exchange account, then sign a foreign exchange real trading agreement, and then apply for opening an online banking ......

Lin Li was dazzled by the complicated process before he finished listening.

She left the bank in frustration and went home, and couldn't help but post a message on WeChat Moments: There is a threshold for investment, and her IQ is crushed.

The post received many likes and comments, one of which was from Guan Yi: "Dear, let's invest in Merrill Lynch Pharmaceutical's stocks!" ”

Lin Li replied while typing while digging out the house key, and it happened that a new friend came to verify the message, and his hand slid and clicked "add" by mistake.

A prompt message pops up immediately on the WeChat interface.

"You've added Hsiao, now you can start chatting."

Lin Li stood at the door of the house, holding the key in one hand, which was inserted into the lock cylinder and only turned ninety degrees, holding the mobile phone in the other hand, staring down at the line of words on the screen.

But there was no movement from the phone.

She clicked on Hsiao's circle of friends and saw that the other party didn't have a single news, as if she had just registered.

Lin Li put the phone back in his pocket.

The key turned ninety degrees further in the cylinder, and with a soft "click", the door opened.

*

A few days later, Lin Li dragged her suitcase to the airport alone, and when she checked in, she was told that she could be upgraded to first class for free and enjoy the VIP lounge because of her participation in the frequent flyer program.

The difference between the ticket price of economy class and first class is several times, and Lin Li always feels that this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is strange.

The first class cabin is spacious, with only four seats in a row, and Lin Li sits on the far right, by the window.

There was a copy of "Domestic Express" on the seat, and her eyes swept over and caught a glimpse of a news headline - "Dongsheng Group intends to acquire Merrill Lynch Pharmaceutical, Merrill Lynch Pharmaceutical's stock price is three consecutive yang"

Guan Yi's father is one of the shareholders of Merrill Lynch, but Dongsheng Group is far more eye-catching than Merrill Lynch.

She immersed herself in reading the newspaper, and even read another article on the side page, "The hepatitis B vaccine that Merrill Lynch has invested heavily in research is about to be put into clinical use", and read it carefully.

She was so attentive that the flight attendant didn't notice the door closed, and it wasn't until the flight attendant came over to remind her to buckle up her seatbelt that she raised her gaze from the newspaper -

She saw Xiao Huai.

He sat in the middle seat, his eyebrows bowed, and he answered the phone with his head tilted. As if sensing her gaze, he raised his eyes to meet her, and his fluent and hard German paused for half a beat, and then bowed slightly, which was regarded as a face-to-face.

Lin Li didn't expect to meet him on the plane, put away the newspaper, and looked around at the four seats in his row.

On the far left is Xiao Huai's male assistant.

To the right is Xiao Huai's female assistant, who seems to be called Michiko Koyama.

Further to the right is Xiao Huai...... That is, right next to her left-hand side.

Her eyes wandered, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Huai's face, and looked at those deep eyes again. At this time, he ended the phone call and spoke first: "Hello. ”

Lin Li also said hello out of politeness.

Seeing that his thin lips moved slightly as if to communicate further, she turned her face away and pretended to organize her small bag.

There weren't many things in the bag, and when she was done, she set her eyes on the scenery outside the string window.

Although she couldn't see it, she could feel that the gaze from the left side was still on her body, it was a calm, faint look, not aggressive, but it was impossible to ignore.

Lin Li coughed lightly, and at the same time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, it was Guan Yi's call.

"Did you get on the plane?" There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and Guan Yi's voice was an octave higher than usual.

"Well, I've sat down." Lin Li wanted to ask about Merrill Lynch and Dongsheng, but he dispelled his thoughts when he said it.

"I forgot to explain to you, a friend's friend is going to pick you up, he looks good and has a good personality, and his mobile phone number is ......"

"No, I'll go to the hotel by myself, I don't have to trouble others." I don't know how many times Guan Yi introduced her to a blind date.

"Don't bother, the other party takes the initiative to mention yì."

"Push off his kindness, it's really unnecessary."

"Why refuse in a hurry? He has seen your WeChat photos and wants to get to know you. Anyway, you're both single and have access to contact. ”

"Don't touch, I'll turn off the phone first."

"Wait, that's not the end of the story."

Lin Li hung up the phone and turned off the phone in one go.

As soon as he put the phone back in his small bag, Xiao Huai's voice sounded, "Lin Li, the flight is about to take off, please fasten your seat belt." ”

Suddenly hearing his name come out of his mouth, Lin Fei paused, said "thank you" and lowered his head to buckle his seat belt, without looking at him from beginning to end.

The plane taxied into the predetermined runway, and during the accelerated take-off, the high-decibel noise and high-frequency vibrations were uncomfortable. She closed her eyes, her fingers clasped tightly on the seat's arm, and her palms sweated thinly.

It was at such a moment when it was easy to worry about nothing, a low, mellow voice appeared next to his ears with a warm texture, and he spit out a few words: "Don't be afraid, relax." ”

Her long eyelashes fluttered, she opened them slightly, and closed them again.

She heard Michiko Koyama reply, "Thank you."
