63 Epilogue
Two years later.
Domestic news media quoted German Ministry of Finance documents to report that Germany and China agreed to study the mutual access plan of bilateral stock exchanges, and at the same time, Germany supports the inclusion of the renminbi in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket organization, so as to speed up the process of China's financial reform and opening up.
This day is also the day when Xiao Huai stepped down from his senior management position at the Deutsche head office and became the managing director of the Asia-Pacific branch.
As is customary, the investment bank held a press conference in Munich, at which it announced exciting news: the bank actively responded to the decision of the Ministry of Finance and will launch EFT funds tracking German stock indexes in Chinese mainland, such as currency ETFs, commodity ETFs and equity ETFs.
When the press conference entered the question session, a reporter unexpectedly asked Xiao Huai, saying that his hedge fund took advantage of the A-share turmoil to significantly reduce its holdings of the renminbi two years ago, and was suspected of shorting China.
Xiao Huai was silent, and just as the host of the meeting was about to say a few words for the big boss, he broke the silence: "Two years ago, my fiancée was about to go to Vietnam to practice medicine, and I accompanied her to learn Vietnamese every day, and I didn't have time to pay attention to other things. ”
This is the first time that Xiao Huai has talked about private matters in such an important public occasion, and the reporters in the audience were very surprised, and the host of the meeting couldn't help but look sideways.
Xiao Huai's face was blank, and he said: "Fellow journalists, if you are interested in the magazine "People" sponsored by China's national authoritative publishing organization, you can buy a magazine and come back to read it, and the cover character is my fiancée. In just two years, she published several professional papers, received the title of chief physician, and received the Order of Friendship from the Vietnamese government on behalf of the medical corps where she worked. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, a shallow smile flashed in his long and narrow eyes like ink, and his calm and calm tone also revealed a trace of imperceptible pampering: "I love my fiancée so much that I have applied to the CEO several times to take up a position in the Asia-Pacific branch, and threatened that if it is not easy, I will be very angry, and I was forced to reluctantly agree to my request, ordering me to leave Germany immediately and go to Vietnam. ”
Journalists were amused by such a cold joke.
Xiao Huai frowned slightly, and his expression returned to a clear one: "Vietnam's banking industry is dominated by state-owned commercial banks, and there are very few overseas banks that have settled in. The Asia-Pacific branch will be located in Ho Chi Minh City, a well-known tourist destination, and will carry out business related to corporate loans, new share issuances, refinancing of listed companies, etc. At present, Vietnam Textile and Garment Group has obtained a loan of 200 million euros from the Bank, and it is believed that with the promotion of the Bank, Vietnam's investment environment will be further developed. ”
As soon as the words fell, the flashing light of the camera in the reporter's hand almost flashed, and they all reported the good news to the agency and website as quickly as possible.

After the press conference, Xiao Huai took a special car to Munich Airport and met an old friend, Ji Yunchong, at the entrance.
The two men stood out wherever they appeared, undoubtedly catching a glimpse of each other. Xiao Huai nodded politely, and was about to pass by Ji Yunchong, who spoke: "I saw Lin Li's photo on the cover of the magazine. She cut her hair short and became thinner, did she have a hard time in Vietnam? ”
Xiao Huai stopped and glanced at Ji Yunchong lightly: "She looked thin as soon as she was on camera, and some time ago she complained to me about eating too much supper and gaining a few pounds." ”
Hearing such an answer, Ji Yunchong hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know what I said wrong, please don't misunderstand." ”
Xiao Huai has never been a narrow-minded person, and he greeted: "How are you doing lately?" ”
Dongsheng Group's market value doubled last year, and Ji Yunchong was elected chairman by the board of directors. Just as he was about to be re-elected, he suddenly submitted the evidence that the chairman of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical Group had illegally reduced his shareholding five years ago to the securities regulatory agency, and then announced that he had arranged to manipulate the stock price of Dongsheng Group three years ago and was willing to accept punishment.
Ji Yunchong said honestly: "It's not good. Had it not been for the nursing home informing me that my mother was critically ill, I would still be in the country to cooperate with the investigation. ”
Xiao Huai was deeply surprised: "I have something important to do, and I can't change today's itinerary, please allow me to fly back the day after tomorrow to visit my aunt." ”
"No, her old man is not in good spirits, so as not to disturb you." After Ji Yunchong finished speaking, he curled his lips, "I must thank you, thank you for supporting Dongsheng's stock price with a huge amount of buying transactions." ”
Xiao Huai was silent.
"Although I am a little reluctant, I have to admit that I am inferior to you in many ways, including the matter of pleasing women." Speaking of this, Ji Yunchong raised his eyebrows, "Dude, don't blame my brother, I speak sharply." As for women, she must marry her home to really trap her, understand? ”
Xiao Huai didn't answer positively, but simply asked: "Do you have any new dating partners now?" ”
The smile in Ji Yunchong's eyes faded, but he wrote lightly in a joking tone: "Me? I'll talk about it when I'm past prison. ”

Pingzheng County.
The sun is shining, and it's time for the noon break. Lin Li stayed in the consultation room and watched the news on his mobile phone, and suddenly saw several breaking news related to Xiao Huai, and quickly dialed his mobile phone.
"Honey, are you coming to Vietnam? Why didn't you reveal the news beforehand? Also, what is the explanation of the word fiancée? You never formally proposed to me, how did I become yours? ”
There was a little silence on the other end of the phone, and a low and faint voice came with a special texture: "Mi, you go to the window and look down." ”
Lin Li was stunned for a few seconds, and then complied.
"What do you see?" A gentle voice rings in my ears.
"I saw the roses, and—" Disbelief welled up in her heart as she bit her lip and finished her sentence very shyly.
"And, the best time to buy the Vietnamese stock market." (.)
