Chapter 51: No-show
After putting half a pool of water in the bathtub, Chen Mo stripped naked, supported the edge of the tank with both hands, closed his feet, and slipped down. Surrounded by warm hot water, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of comfort.
Yesterday, he not only met Director Jin, but he also arranged a colleague named Zhang Song to help him deal with some trivial matters. According to yesterday's preliminary contact, although this Zhang Song may seem average in terms of ability, he is still quite familiar with the rules of this industry.
What Chen Mo needs now is a person like him, he doesn't need a brain to teach him how to do it, because how to invest must be mastered by himself. What he needs is a pair of eyes and a pair of hands, which can help him grasp the situation and operate at the first time, so he is quite satisfied with Zhang Song.
By Monday, all the formalities have been completed, and it will be time to show off your skills. This time, it depends on whether Lang Yufu's memory is correct or not, and I hope not to disappoint myself.
Qian Yubin put on thermal underwear and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Chen Mo's Dunhill satchel. He studied the bag last night, it was absolutely genuine, and recognized this handmade leather bag from the Chinese logo on the slider and steel stamp.
In Dunhill's specialty stores, the cheapest one costs more than 500 pounds, and the order like this one costs more than 2,000 pounds. Why could a young man who had just started work use such a bag? It's not the result of corruption and bribery!
I heard that his godfather is the general manager of the purchasing department, and he has no son, so he treats him as his own son, and I don't know how much benefit he has received! I worked hard for ten years to become a section chief, but I just graduated from college and became a section chief.
Seeing Chen Mo come out wearing only a pair of underwear, his toned body made him even more envious, this kid took all the benefits.
"After washing, I'm about to release the water, suffocating me."
Chen Mo wiped his hair and apologized. "Well, I'm sorry to delay you! Can I make international calls from the phone in my room? ”
"Yes, but each of us only has half an hour quota per month, so you have to arrange it carefully."
Chen Mo dried his hair and didn't go out for a run today, but he still did a hundred push-ups in a row on the floor between the two beds, and then he stopped out of breath. It seems that when you get drunk, it hurts your body really much, and you usually do so much and you're just a little out of breath, but today you're just out of breath.
Chen Mo called home first, and his second uncle was very satisfied with the old man's service. Knowing that Chen Mo's work was going well, he was happier than him, so he said don't worry about his family and hung up the phone.
The godfather has been worried about this week, and has taken them to the medical school of the University of Zurich one by one since Monday, and the examination has been going on for a week, but it is not over. Every day, there are new check-ups and results.
Some of the routine tests are similar to the previous ones, but some of the tests are much more detailed than before, and the full test results may take some time to come out.
This unresolved fear of the sword of Dacmos hanging above his head, not to mention his godmother, even Kang Xuedong is extremely tormented. Chen Mo had nothing to do about it, he only hated that he didn't have the ability to help them alleviate a little pain.
After sitting for a while, Chen Mo cleaned up his depressed mood and began to call his classmates in the UK.
When he first entered university, under the influence of Kang Xuedong and his aunt, he chose to major in international economics and trade, but also majored in the School of International Relations. At that time, he majored in Spanish, mainly because his English level was already very good at that time, so he deliberately chose Spanish.
It is also for this reason that he had a relatively large circle when he was in school, majoring in English, Spanish, international trade and international relations. But because of this, he didn't make particularly affectionate classmates during his school years, because he was always running around, even to the UK.
The year in the UK is also a year for him to really settle down and study, whether it is English proficiency or professional knowledge, it is a year of rapid improvement.
In the process, he also made a few friends in England, but the best relationship was Amal, who was a year below him.
At the beginning, thanks to his aunt, he stayed at the home of a professor at Margaret Road during his exchange at Oxford. Opposite his window is the library of St. Hugh's College, so he spends most of his time in the library, which is known as the most beautiful campus in the UK.
Amal is a second-year student at St. Hugh's College, majoring in law, but with a keen interest in international relations. Seeing Chen Mo's books on international relations, the two of them talked and gradually became familiar with each other.
Amal is one of the most beautiful girls Chen Mo has ever seen. Although she is of Arab descent, she is more like a pure white girl. not only has the grace and elegance of Grace Kelly, but also has the beauty and ethereal of Audrey Hepburn, which once made Chen Mo fall in love with it.
However, although she is in the developed Britain, she is a devout Islamic Druze, although the relationship with Chen Mo is getting closer and closer, but both parties control their feelings and do not cross that line.
Chen Mo is not an abusive man, with Rou Jia, other women are in the rubble, and with Li Shan, he is only loyal to her. Because of the damage caused by his parents' divorce, he never forgot his responsibilities because of lust.
One is to belong, and the other is to want to get a complete relationship, so although they have the intention of having a concubine, they can only suppress this emotion.
I made several phone calls in a row to chat with friends who had been absent for a long time, but because there was no prior notice, I had to agree to meet again the next day. The last call, Chen Mo dialed Amal.
When a still somewhat confused greeting rang on the other end of the phone, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing. It's already past eight o'clock, but it's still too early for this lazy girl who likes to lie in bed the most.
"Hey, Amal, what's on the agenda for today?"
"You...... Ah, Evan...... God, don't you know it's eight o'clock in the morning on the weekend?! ”
"8:32 to be exact......"
"Have you forgotten that I once warned you not to ...... on weekends" The voice on the other side suddenly raised an octave, "Oh my God, this is the London number, you're in London?!" ”
"Yes, I don't know if you're in London or Oxford, and I don't know if you have any arrangements for today......"
"To hell with everything, where are you? Half an hour, I'll give you half an hour at most. If I don't see you at the door after getting dressed, then your fault is too great! ”
Chen Mo's face couldn't help but show a smile, "No, this is too unfair, I'm not familiar with London at all, and now it should be you who came to me." ”
"I know, but I just want to see you as soon as possible, can't this wish be fulfilled?"
Chen Mo's heart softened immediately, and he couldn't bear to tease her anymore. "I call a taxi now, and the speed at which I get to your house depends on the speed of the taxi."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo immediately opened the contact book in the room, which contained the phone number of the taxi company. Unlike in China, taxis are rarely hailed on the road, and you have to call by phone.
Qian Yubin heard their conversation and asked, "What, there's a date?" ”
Chen Mo said embarrassedly: "It's a date, I can't go shopping with you." ”
"It's okay, I'll find someone else."
After changing his clothes, Chen Mo thought about it, but still didn't wear a woolen sweater. The temperature in London is a little higher than in Bergen, and the weather is good today, so Chen Mo doesn't want to wear so bloated.
Running to the kitchen on the first floor, Chen Mo asked the logistics staff for an environmentally friendly bag and packed a huge Chinese festival brought from China, which had been promised to Amal a long time ago. However, there is also a sixty-centimeter-long folding fan, which Chen Mo himself thought of. Originally, there were bigger ones, but Chen Mo's suitcase was only more than sixty centimeters high, so he could only choose such a big one.
A big red Chinese knot and a folding fan that can be hung on the wall for decoration are full of strong Chinese style and are also a good gift with new ideas.
"Section Chief Qian, I'm really embarrassed today."
Qian Yubin shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future." You're going out now? ”
"Well, I'll go down and wait for the taxi first, and I'll go to the hotel to inform Minister Xue later, so I can run out by myself."
Qian Yubin scolded the sycophant in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "It should be, it should be." ”
After the taxi came, Chen Mo first went around to the hotel, and made a call at the front desk to Minister Xue's room, but no one answered. was about to go out, but saw him and a few colleagues walking out of the restaurant, still whispering something.
Chen Mo shouted and stepped forward to explain that he needed to go out. Minister Xue said with a smile: "When you come to London, of course you want to meet your old classmates, so you don't need to report this, but if you can't come back at night, don't forget to ask me for a leave of absence first." ”
Several people next to him laughed knowingly, and Chen Mo also felt embarrassed for a while. "No, it's just an ordinary friend."
"Well, go ahead, anyway, I don't need your help when I come to London this time, you are also busy with your own business. Wait until Tuesday and we'll go back together. ”
Several people next to him looked surprised, and they didn't understand why they would bring him to London since there was nothing to do with Chen Mo. Chen Mo also couldn't explain that he wanted to invest in the futures market, although many colleagues were doing it together, but after all, it was still unruly, and it was the kind of thing that could be done but not said.
