When Lan Dai woke up from her slumber, she found that it was already dark outside the gap in the curtains.

Realizing that his outer down jacket had been taken off, his heart tightened, and after careful exploration, he found that there was nothing unusual on his body, and the woolen sweater and jeans were still on his body, so he carefully looked at the surrounding environment under the soft wall light.

The scene before falling asleep finally came to mind, Lan Dai lay motionless in the soft wool quilt, she really wanted to lie down like this, this feeling was so comfortable.

There was a bottle of Laoshan mineral water on the bedside table, Lan Dai took a breath, slowly stood up and leaned on the head of the bed, twisted the cap of the bottle and took a sip, the clear mineral water was a little cold in the stomach, but the bitterness and dryness in the mouth disappeared immediately, and even the somewhat groggy brain melon seeds suddenly became clear.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, and her stomach rumbled before Lan Dai felt hungry, she stood up, and the fluffy fluff dragged on her feet and then stepped on the thick wool carpet, which was really a bit of a flickering feeling.

The exquisite luxury of the bathroom makes Lan Dai really afraid to set foot in, the huge surf bath, the right temperature, plus a full range of toiletries and facilities, so that Lan Dai has the urge to take a good bath, the only regret is probably that there is no change of clothes.

Zhao Guodong knocked on the door, there was still no sound inside, he pushed the door open, the light in the room was bright, and the sound of water came from the bathroom, Zhao Guodong shook his head and closed the door again, girls are different, the first thing to get up with is to wash and dress themselves.

When Lan Dai came out of the bathroom refreshed, a Western meal was already on the small coffee table, a medium-rare steak plus a vegetable salad, and a glass of hot juice.

Lan Dai sat quietly on the sofa, enjoying the steak and thinking, this is life.

Yesterday, I was still squatting in the cold room, my feet were numb and unconscious, my whole body was cold, there was nothing in my stomach except a packet of instant noodles, and going to the toilet was like a crime, and the foul smell and cold wind penetrated the public toilet with dirt all over the place, making it difficult for you to get off your feet. Now, soft carpets, large dressing gowns, soft and comfortable sofas, fragrant steaks, fresh vegetable salads, hot juices, and warm spring surroundings make people feel like they are in a dream.

Both are life, but the gap is so big?!

When Lan Dai came out of the room, Mr. Zhao was arguing with Mr. Lei and Mr. Xiao about whether China should gradually liberalize the free convertibility of the renminbi.

Zhao Guodong advocated that although it cannot be liberalized at this stage, as the status of China's economy in the world economy gradually increases and decreases, the role played by the renminbi should also change, and the renminbi should not be self-isolated, but should evolve into a local dominant currency in due course, and then gradually transform into a world currency.

Although Lei Xiangdong and Xiao Huashan also agreed with some of Zhao Guodong's views, they were skeptical about whether the free convertibility of the renminbi could be fully liberalized, believing that once the free convertibility of the renminbi was liberalized, it would inevitably pose great risks to China's economic system, especially in the face of the speculative impact of foreign tourist capital.

"I am not saying that the free convertibility of the renminbi should be liberalized at this stage, on the contrary, I think that the free convertibility of the renminbi will not be realized for a long time, but we should be soberly aware that China's economy will come out of its complacency and become a level in the world economic system. A closed renminbi system is not in the national interest. With the large increase in foreign exchange reserves, the risk of a single dollar reserve will become greater and greater, and too much foreign exchange reserves are also not in line with the national interest. Zhao Guodong talked eloquently.

"Excessive foreign exchange reserves certainly have their drawbacks, but this is a necessary condition for stabilizing a country's finances. Lei Xiangdong thought for a moment.

"I think investing in U.S. Treasuries should mitigate some of the risk." Zheng Jian interjected.

"U.S. Treasury bonds are also risky, if we fix our foreign exchange earnings and reserves on the Americans, then we are undoubtedly being kidnapped by the Americans, and once the U.S. economy has a recession, then we in China will have to pay for the Americans." Zhao Guodong's words were extremely sharp.

"But now we don't seem to be able to find a more suitable foreign exchange investment channel, for now, U.S. Treasury bonds are the only one that can be trusted, can we still buy Treasury bonds?" Xiao Huashan shook his head.

"It's not that there are no channels, it's just that the country hasn't realized it yet." Zhao Guodong shook his head, "Some foreign enterprises with good growth efficiency, some scarce or non-renewable resources and strategic materials should be the goal of our country's investment abroad." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Guodong's point of view suddenly made Lei Xiangdong fall into deep thought.

"Of course, this scenario is not realistic at this time." Zhao Guodong added.

“wto？” Lei Xiangdong's reaction is also quite sensitive.

"Well, before joining the WTO, everything was in vain." Zhao Guodong smiled faintly, picked up the goblet and took a sip.

"China's entry into customs is an inevitable trend, but Western countries led by the United States have also set up many obstacles for China on this issue, and even many third world countries that are also developing countries have followed suit, which makes China's entry into customs more and more slow." Lei Xiangdong also took a sip of champagne from his wine glass and nodded.

"There will always be stalemate and compromise, and China needs to join the WTO before it can integrate into the world, and similarly, without China's WTO, it would not be a real WTO." Zhao Guodong said with a smile and beckoned: "Lan Dai, come and sit." ”

Lan Dai's movements looked a little jerky in front of everyone's eyes, even if she only wore a bikini costume on the catwalk, she was not so cramped, several men were undoubtedly Zhao Guodong's friends, and their eyes seemed to be penetrating to Lan Dai's body, making Lan Dai's chest center room involuntarily thump and jump up.

"Go get yourself a drink." Zhao Guodong gestured with his eyes, at this time, it was really difficult for him to explain the relationship between him and Lan Dai to a few new friends.

Lan Dai obediently went to bring a glass of champagne and sat next to Zhao Guodong, looking a bit like a pair of lovers.

Lei Xiangdong's attention only stayed on Lan Dai for a moment before returning to the topic of discussion with Zhao Guodong, for them, the officials of the banking system, there are too many girls with elegant and beautiful temperaments in this unit, although Lan Dai is beautiful, but it is difficult to attract their attention, but it is Zhao Guodong's new ideas that keep throwing out the three of them are full of interest.

A small drinking party and discussion meeting lasted until after eleven o'clock, and a few people dispersed to rest, there were as many as twelve bedrooms in this villa in Oak Grove, and it was more than enough for more than a dozen people to live in it, and Zhao Guodong lived opposite Lan Dai.

When the dawn sun shines on the curtains of Lan Dai's room, Zhao Guodong has already come back from the exercise in the tree-lined path outside the villa, the cold air in the early morning makes people's minds extremely sensitive, and it can also make people think through many things that have not been thought through.

Make an appointment for the next meeting, Zhao Guodong wrote down the phone number of Lei Xiangdong and left his phone number to the other party, obviously both sides left a very good impression on each other, for Zhao Guodong, it is natural to be able to meet such friends in the financial world, and he may not be able to meet three emergencies and two dilemmas one day and have to rely on friends to help him tide over the difficulties.

Zhao Guodong noticed that Zheng Jian was driving the Jaguar XJ, and the Mercedes-Benz W124 was actually Qiao Hui's car, but Lei Xiangdong was quite low-key, an inconspicuous half-new and old Corolla car.

Zhao Guodong has learned the true identities of several people from Qiao Hui, Lei Xiangdong is the deputy director of the legal affairs department of the Provincial People's Bank, and Xiao Huashan is the vice president of the Nanhua branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Zheng Jian was originally the deputy director of the credit department of the provincial branch of the China Construction Bank.

No wonder Zheng Jian is so confident in his proposal that the bank and the government will join forces, and it turns out that this guy is about to take up the position of president of Andu Construction Bank.

Santana ran smoothly in the mountain road, a faint mist like a jade belt looming around the green hills and green slopes, sitting in the car has not opened her mouth Lan Dai's mood seems to be down all of a sudden, just quietly looking out of the window, as if thinking about something.

"Lan Dai, where are you going?"

"Where are you?" Lan Dai was silent for a moment before asking.

"Where am I? I'll go home, back to Jiang Temple. Zhao Guodong noticed that Lan Dai's mood seemed to be wrong.

"Then you can leave me on the side of the road that is convenient for you." Lan Dai said indifferently.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Guodong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, I have nowhere to go, or I have to go back to school, but the school is empty and deserted, and I feel uncomfortable being there alone." Lan Dai's eyes were gloomy and lonely.

Zhao Guodong scratched his head, "Then what should I do?" I have something to do today, and I have to go home. ”

"What about you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" Lan Dai asked.

Zhao Guodong didn't think much about it and said casually: "I will be in Andu tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, attending a gathering of a few friends." ”

After speaking, Zhao Guodong figured out the taste, stared at Lan Dai and said, "What do you mean?" Didn't you rely on me? ”

"Two hundred thousand, how can you let me pay you back?" Lan Dai said faintly: "You say, what do I give you back?" ”

When Zhao Guodong heard this, his hair stood on end, didn't this girl want to make a promise? What age is this now, and there are still such feudal remnants? Although she is very beautiful and indeed a little attractive to herself, but thinking about herself now, Zhao Guodong feels that her head is extremely big, and she still has the heart to mess with flowers.
