New York, USA

It was late at night, and Fang Monan looked at the Asia-Pacific stock market trading that had just ended on the computer, and the few people in the office were relieved at the same time. She got up from her chair, stretched her waist, and rubbed her astringent eyes. Drinking the coffee that was already cold, it was a little bitter, pouting, she was still not used to the taste of coffee when she came here, and she shivered when she drank it, and then sat down again.

Alas, she has to continue today's work, she changed the layout, and then looked at the situation in Europe that had just opened, it was bleak and looked up at others, some of them had just arrived, and they were mainly fighting in Europe. is also buried in work like her, the sound of keyboard tapping comes and goes, and she smiled bitterly, those who can work hard, and they have to continue to do it.

Fang Monan is one of several Asian employees in a private equity investment company, don't look at the small and inconspicuous façade, if you want to work here, of course, the ability is the strongest. And if you want to be a customer here, you can't get in if you have the money, and the threshold is so high that you can't imagine.

And the people here are generally based on the financial market of their home country according to different nationalities, and if you have the physical strength and energy, of course, there is no objection to you observing a few more markets, so the remuneration is also good.

Due to the financial crisis, they have one person here, when two or three use. U.S. stocks during the day, Asia-Pacific at night, and European markets in the early morning. Because of the long work, look at the people here who are obviously in a sub-health state for a long time, and sooner or later they will die of overwork, but no matter how tired they are for money, they have to do it, but they don't have to spend their lives.

When you are young, you exchange your life for money, and when you are old, you can buy your life with money, which is the truest portrayal.

"Knock knock Nannan, don't look at it." The tall man standing in front of her, turned off her computer. "Go home first, I've been working for more than ten hours in a row, and I'll come back after a break."

He must still be working, and he wants money and doesn't want to die, because the coming European debt crisis has become a gluttonous feast for these private equity predators, which makes them have a big appetite and are very excited.

Fang Monan stood up helplessly, glanced at him, gathered her long hair, and put on the down jacket hanging behind the chair, she was also a little unable to hold on, take a rest. She took his arm intimately and walked towards the elevator together.

Fang Mo looked up sideways and looked at the man from Hong Kong with a smile on his face.

His name is Cheng Shifei, a first-class trader, with a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, no southerners have clear eyebrows, but there are northerners who are rough and heroic, a very hearty person, maybe the ancestors are from the north

He looked down at this. The long black hair, the original jade-like delicate skin, has become a little dull yellow. Next to the deep eyes like black pearls, there are black black circles under the eyes, which are a fight with the national treasure giant panda. Although she is not a big beauty, she is also a beauty, but now her pale face is obviously sleep deprived.

Don't look at her petite, her height has just reached 1.6 meters, but her ability is extraordinary, although she is not as long as he is here, her work is top-notch. Why don't she work so hard.

They walked into the elevator together, Fang Menan pressed the number button and asked if there was an arrangement? "Playfully stuck out his tongue again.,Knock on the head.,I'm embarrassed and said that I still need to ask.,It must be with Tony" I forgot to say.,Don't look at the man who looks very mn in front of you.,But it's a homosexual.,Now you have to guard against not only the female junior.,You also have to guard against the male junior.,This makes life unbearable.,It's unreasonable.

He was still smiling just now, but suddenly wilted like an eggplant on the frost, and said sullenly that we broke up. "Then he cheered up again, and ordered a bombshell as if nothing had happened, saying that he was going to get married, and that the bride was a woman."

Fang Monan was stunned by his words, "This ...... This...... Possible. Isn't he a sufferer, doesn't skip words. Being a stranger in a foreign land, and being a fallen person at the end of the world, the two formed a first-class friendship in their interactions, so that they had nothing to talk about.

As if she had thought in her heart, who did he go on? , it is said to be for the sake of succession. It's ridiculous, it's not our ancestors, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. ”

"Are you okay?" she asked worriedly, saying that the two of them had been together for many years, and the sudden breakup was not acceptable to anyone.

"If there is something, life has to go on like this, and whoever leaves whom will turn the earth will do the same." He only comforted himself, in fact, he was not without feelings, he had thought of this day for a long time, but it had not yet come, he was just an ostrich all day long, but when this shoe finally landed, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, maybe he didn't love as much as he imagined, maybe it was better to think like this.

Then he patted his cheek and cheered up, "Nannan, you have to comfort my wounded heart." Xi Shi said funny.

She looked at him pretending to be strong, and laughed and said that she should raise her hand pretending to be "I'm older than you" to change the topic and dispel the oppressive atmosphere.

"It's only a month older than others." He muttered something out of his mouth.

Fang Monan was no longer entangled in the issue of age, looking at him reluctantly pretending to be casual, and comforted him distressedly, Look at your pitiful appearance, you can order the food"

"You did it with your own hands" His eyes lit up, his saliva was spitting, and his face was slanderous.

"Uh-huh," she nodded.

"Oh yes, that's great," he almost wanted to jump with joy.

Cheng Shifei has known her for nearly ten years, the two of them are college classmates, she is really the hardest student he has ever seen, and she got a doctorate in finance and a master's degree in law after five years of part-time work.

In addition to studying, she kept rushing to the scene every day like a spinning top, and worked hard to raise tuition fees and living expenses. Like in Chinese restaurants, coffee shops, clothing stores, funeral parlors, factories, clerks, and even one summer she went to Texas Farm to work for two months, and when we met again, she was dark and thin, her skin was so tanned that it was hard to imagine that she was boiled.

Cooking skills are estimated to have been trained by her doing odd jobs everywhere, speaking of cooking, it is a matter of eating, he has to be gifted with this, like he can't tell the difference between sugar and salt. Every time he makes a new dish, he is always the first to try it. Happiness is scarce now. I keep staring at the data on the computer every day, the US stock market during the day, Asia at night, Europe in the middle of the night and in the early hours of the morning, where is there still a meal with leisure.

"Ding" elevator to the underground parking lot. "Let's go...... Hurry up," he pulled her and hurried towards the car.

The oncoming cold made Fang Monan shrink his neck, and the winter in New York was no less cold than the cold winter in the north.

They sat in the car without a hint of warmth, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "Wait, just drive," she nodded in understanding.

In the wee hours of the morning, there are almost no cars on the road, "Ha will not be stuck in traffic at this time." Cheng Shifei drove the driveway. He turned his head to look at the passenger seat, and said that he would go to my house today, "Without waiting for her to reply, he said simply, move in with me, anyway, now I am alone." Not to mention that you live in Brooklyn as a girl, not to mention that the company is far away, the most important thing is that the security is not good. "I'm afraid that if she refuses, she should accompany me."

was still thinking about how to refuse his kindness, but listening to the loneliness in his tone, he couldn't say a word.

didn't hear her refusal, Cheng Shifei shouted happily

"You're at work, at home, at two o'clock and one line all day, and you don't attend any social gatherings. a man at will, change your monotonous life, and you're about to catch up with a nun. Cheng Shifei taught seriously like an elder.

"I'm not interested in handing over a random man, maybe the old man forgot about my red thread in the corner, and I'm talking about how there is now, I'm so busy every day." She frowned and said with a look of disapproval. "If I have a man, can I still live in your house?"

After he heard this, he said in a panic Let's keep it as it is, "Just kidding, if she moves away, who will satisfy his stomach, Chinese food abroad is not authentic at all."

In the open United States, her kind of unmarried man is simply a rare breed, maybe it is really fate that has not arrived. She doesn't want to be wronged, so she finds someone to make do with it, and would rather lack it than overuse.

If you are financially independent, you won't want to rely on men, and it's better to rely on others than on yourself.

No one is as good as that, if a man can be relied upon, a sow can go up a tree.

"You say, where did our boss Shenlong come from when he saw the head but didn't see the tail?" The gossip on his face was like, "Obediently, in this environment, he is like a dragon swimming in the sea, free, making a lot of money, look at how many companies have closed down on this street in the past few days." ”

"Who, I haven't seen a big boss in the company for so long. Besides, I was introduced by you, and I've been working for almost two years, and your position is higher than mine. You've never seen it, let alone me. "I remembered that she entered the company and conducted a strict review, not only the ability review, but also the eight generations of her ancestors. looks like her, her background is simple and innocent, and it is best if there is no trouble. Looking at some of the customer information in hand, it is not easy to think about the background of the boss.

"Seeing that you are so tired, I regret letting you come." He looked at her now, and felt a little distressed.

"No, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, our family's financial situation wouldn't have improved a little. She should be glad that her natural sensitivity to numbers has a place for her.

Fang Monan felt that the temperature in the car was gradually rising, leaned on his back, moved his legs, and was so comfortable that he half lay down and closed his eyes. He looked at her tired appearance and stopped bothering.

Thinking about it, it has been more than ten years since he came to the United States, Fang Monan is smart, willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and has also obtained a degree and a green card. A foreign student who does not have a strong background backer, with his intelligence, stands on his feet, and becomes a modern version of the contractor, all of which has a price.

They all think that the moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China, but the taste of this is like a person drinking water, knowing the warmth and coldness.

She regretted not being at the beginning, if she hadn't been hot-headed, she wouldn't have gotten to where she is now. I didn't think about my family background back then, but after going abroad, everything was not as beautiful as I imagined. For living expenses and tuition, not only did it work hard, but it also dragged the family into embarrassment. I also thought about going, but unfortunately the huge debts at home and the economic downturn still let her stay, and the salary here is very generous.

"Squeak, it's here" he stopped the car and parked on the side of the road, then threw her the key and said you go upstairs first, I'll park the car"

Fang Monan took the key, "Okay" pushed the car door and walked out. Cheng Shifei drove towards the parking lot.

"Ding" The elevator door opened, Fang Monan walked in, and when the elevator door was about to close, a tall man with wide sunglasses suddenly squeezed in, and after the elevator door closed, he pulled out a fruit knife from behind. "Robbery, take out everything you have on your body"

Fang Monan secretly shouted in his heart: Unlucky, I actually ran into this one, the elevator door had been closed, and it was impossible to run. With wide sunglasses, I can't see his appearance, he is tall, and her small body is obviously not a level, and she can't beat it, and in the temporarily confined space, it is even more impossible to call for help. Hope is only for wealth, not for life.

"Don't get excited, here you go." Fang Monan hurriedly gave him the backpack in his hand, and he held the knife with a little trembling in one hand, pointing at her. With the other hand, he held the bag to his mouth and opened the zipper, "Hula" dropped all of it on the ground at once, "You, stand inside" He half-squatted and picked up the wallet, and looked at Fang Monan from time to time, his hand trembled and opened it, and he saw that it was exploding.

He held the knife in both hands, waved it up and down, and said angrily, "**It's only a few dollars." Lao Tzu waited for most of the night. Thought this was a high-end apartment, inhabited by you poor ghost. ”

"You damn yellow dog, why do you live in a luxury apartment if you don't have money" is really a bully

Fang Monan looked at his robbery, it was estimated that he was a novice on the road, and he was a little annoyed and angry, afraid that he would make a dangerous move under impulse, and planned to fight for it, slowly looking for an opportunity.

Just then, the elevator door opened, and she bent down and rushed at him.

It is estimated that the force is too strong, maybe the other party didn't expect her to resist, but the two of them fell out of the elevator all of a sudden. "Ahh

"Help, robbery" Immediately after, Fang Monan, not caring about the pain on his body, got up and ran.

At this time, he reacted, "Oh no", he couldn't say, let her see her face. "Die" A figure flew towards her, and the knife was inserted into the back of the neck, and blood spurted out at once.

"Pain" Fang Monan threw himself to the ground, and when he touched his hand, the slimy and bright red liquid. Is it over, and the life she felt gradually passed away with the flow of blood, and she was so unwilling to die miserably like this.

But it seems that everything is too late, if she does it all over again, she really wants to be with her family, but she is moldy at home, and she doesn't want to go abroad if she dies, and she spends money in vain. Don't be tired like a dog, your eyes gradually darkening, but not the blood-stained wrench under your neck that glows purple.
