It was an ordinary night.

Liang Zhaoyue, as usual, worked overtime to sort out the materials.

The printing room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of printers spitting paper. After typing a copy of the machine, she picked it up and checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, she ticked the list.

After checking the last information, she sorted the dozen or so documents according to the label paper, picked them up and was about to go back to the office.

The mobile phone rang, it was a call from his father Liang Mingkai.

stared at the mobile phone screen for a few seconds, Liang Zhaoyue put down the information and connected it.

After a few pleasantries, Liang Mingkai entered the topic, he said: "Ah Yue, Dad is really sorry, I was going to transfer money to you tomorrow, but your sister is clamoring to buy a piano, you say ......"

There were a few sighs from the earpiece.

Liang Zhaoyue knew that this was her father's usual trick, so she kept it and let her take it by herself.

More directly, let her find her own way out.

She said: "I know, I will figure out the tuition matters myself." ”

The goal was achieved, but Liang Mingkai still said hypocritically: "Or see if your mother can help, she ......"

Liang Zhaoyue interrupted him: "Are you okay?" It's okay, let's do it first, I'm in a hurry to hand in the information. ”

Liang Mingkai pretended to be concerned again: "Still working so late? But an internship, don't work too hard, you should rest or rest, and your body is important. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Zhaoyue hung up the phone, picked up the materials on the table and left the printing room.

Back in the office, she locked the materials in the desk drawer, turned off the computer, picked up her tote and was about to leave work when her phone rang again.

When I looked down, it was a call from my boss Lu Ping.

Past experience told her that it was a temporary work call.

Sure enough, Lu Ping asked her to send a document to the Star Coast Club.

She has been interning in the second investment banking department of Yinhai Securities for more than two months, and running errands and delivering materials is one of Liang Zhaoyue's daily tasks, and she is used to it.

Time was urgent, it was too late to take the subway, she put the information in her bag and went downstairs to hail a taxi.

Ten minutes after the car drove away, the phone rang again.

This time it was my mother Lin Ting who called late.

Liang Zhaoyue rubbed his fingertips and picked them up.

Like Liang Mingkai, her mother also cared about her for a few words, and then got to the point.

She said: "Ah Yue, your father just told me, his side is short of money, and the tuition fee can't help much, what about me, your brother wants to buy a house recently, and the down payment is millions, I ......"

She also came to a tactical abrupt halt.

Outside the window, the scenery of the city streets passes by quickly, leaving only a faint afterimage.

At the age of thirteen, her parents divorced and remarried one after another, and each had a new family, but she became that embarrassing existence.

Liang Zhaoyue retracted her gaze and said, "I won't trouble you, I will figure it out myself." ”

Lin Ting hurriedly said: "Ah Yue, don't see you like this, my mother will find a way for you, and I'll talk to you later." ”

After hanging up the phone, Liang Zhaoyue's whole person seemed to be emptied.

She leaned back in her chair, clutched her phone, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh.

-

Half an hour later, she arrived at her destination.

As the most famous business fair in Beicheng, Star Coast is in and out of celebrities from all walks of life, in order to ensure its privacy and high-end status, the implementation of a membership system, a VIP card minimum consumption is 800,000.

Liang Zhaoyue can't afford to spend, so naturally he is not qualified to enter.

She called Lu Ping and waited at the door.

About ten minutes later, Lu Ping came out, Liang Zhaoyue handed him the information, and was about to leave, when he was called by him.

"You're drinking like crazy inside, you come in and help block it."

Liang Zhaoyue hesitated, and heard him say again: "Count overtime pay." ”

Yinhai Securities' overtime pay is very high, 300 per hour.

The start of her second year of graduate school is imminent, and her tuition fees have not yet been settled, so now is the time for lack of money. Lu Ping's words were tantamount to grasping her lifeline, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Liang Zhaoyue went in with him.

Before entering the private room, Lu Ping specially told her: "Don't drink too hard, just stabilize people, this project still needs to be discussed." ”

She nodded.

Pushing open the door of the private room, a smell of tobacco and alcohol smashed in his face, almost making Liang Zhaoyue turn around and withdraw on the spot.

But considering the hefty overtime pay, she held her breath.

They arrived just in time, a group of people were fighting wine, and the scene was intense.

Seeing that Lu Ping went out and brought a beautiful woman back, they all joked that he had brought rescuers over.

Liang Zhaoyue stood aside with a smile on her face.

Lu Ping said: "This is my intern, the little girl is still studying, you can be merciful." ”

That being said, it didn't do much at all, but only fueled the arrogance of the drinking.

Finally, someone came, and she was still a beautiful woman who could drink, and a group of people handed wine glasses to Liang Zhaoyue one after another.

She drank as she looked in Lu Ping's direction from time to time.

This will Lu Ping is holding the information she brought and talking to a man.

He sat upright, and his mouth was dry; And the man nestled in the couch, as if he had no bones, half-squinted, and nodded in agreement from time to time.

The sofa and the wine table were only less than two steps apart, one quiet and tense, the other lively and crazy.

It's a very fragmented scene.

However, many project contracts are negotiated in such an environment.

After drinking for nearly an hour, Liang Zhaoyue couldn't resist it and excused herself to go to the bathroom.

After almost five minutes in the bathroom, she took a handful of cold water to wash her face, wiped off the water stains and walked back. When I passed around the corner, I happened to bump into the man who was talking on the phone.

"This Lu Ping is really going to do something, I brought an intern here, I'm still a woman, drinking is like playing with my life, those people under me can't bear that crazy man drinking like this, I signed a letter of intent to cooperate first, and we are ready to withdraw, you come and pick me up."

Hanging up the phone, the man took a hard puff of his cigarette, pressed it against the soot sink next to the trash can, and walked towards the private room.

waited for everyone to go away, and Liang Zhaoyue slowly followed.

Back in the box, seeing that everyone was already packing up their things, Liang Zhaoyue asked Lu Ping: "It's over?" ”

Lu Ping pointed to the documents in the bag: "You are afraid of others, Mr. Xu signed a letter of intent for cooperation first, and the details will be discussed another day." ”

Generally at this point, the project is almost nine out of ten, and the rest is only about the cost.

She breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Ping to send everyone downstairs.

The full name of Mr. Xu in Lu Ping's mouth is Xu Mingheng.

He is the youngest son of the chairman of Xu's Group, and one of the partners of Yunhe Capital, and has participated in many investment projects, both listed and unlisted. It is said that the building near the water is the first to get the month, and usually the brokerage and investment banks will have a good relationship with the people in the investment circle, in addition to getting first-hand information, but also to fight for the project.

The relationship between Lu Ping and Xu Mingheng has always been good, and this time I heard that in the project he invested, a company planned to go public, and Lu Ping smelled it and got entangled.

-

When they arrived on the first floor, everyone else called a car to leave one after another, but Xu Mingheng was left waiting for someone to pick him up.

He took a few puffs of cigarette and pointed at Lu Ping and scolded: "You are too ruthless, who is called, just drinking will not kill." ”

Thinking of Xu Mingheng's evaluation of her as a madman.

Liang Zhaoyue lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.

At ten o'clock at night, the moonlight is quiet, and the surroundings are especially quiet and silent.

Lu Ping said with a smile: "You think that everyone is from a wealthy background like you, and we little people are pressed by several mountains, and it is not easy to make money to support our families." ”

Xu Mingheng scolded: "I can't kill you." ”

As he spoke, a car came in front of him.

It was a black Bentley, and it was very low-key and luxurious in the dark of night.

Xu Mingheng waved his hand: "The car is coming, I'll go first." ”

He didn't drink much, but he still walked with his feet floating, Lu Ping helped him over, and Liang Zhaoyue followed with his bag.

The rear seat door opened, and Xu Mingheng scolded: "Okay, you Zhou Yunchuan, you can't take a handle, right?" ”

The people inside didn't respond.

He was bored, and with the help of Lu Ping, he climbed up scolding.

Liang Zhaoyue handed over the briefcase in due course.

When she withdrew her hand, the light in the back seat of the car happened to be on, and she subconsciously looked up.

Immediately greeted a pair of dark and deep eyes.

The car was dimly lit, and the man was leaning against the back of the seat, with an iPad on his lap, as if disturbed, his hand resting on the screen, and he glanced at it casually.

The gaze is cold but cold.

It captured her heart in an instant.

In an instant, Liang Zhaoyue's heart tightened for no reason.

She froze where she was, completely forgetting to think.

It was as if no one around her existed, and she only had him in her eyes.

The man's gaze fell on her face for two seconds, and for a moment, he quietly retracted his gaze and looked down at the iPad, his fingers sliding over it from time to time.

He works without distractions, and as for the affairs of others, it has nothing to do with him.

The evening breeze blows and soaks the skin, leaving a slight coolness.

Lu Ping ripped off her bag.

Liang Zhaoyue was distracted, came back to her senses, took a step back, and separated herself from the car.

Xu Mingheng leaned on the window frame and said, "Lu Ping, you intern is amazing!" Count me as a loser today. ”

Lu Ping smiled and said, "Generally, let's make an appointment next time." ”

After the words fell, the car drove forward, and after a while, disappeared into the vast night.

Liang Zhaoyue looked at the direction in which the car was leaving, and was at a loss in her heart.

At this time, Lu Ping said, "What were you doing in a daze just now?" It's like you're stupid. ”

She pressed down the indescribable feeling in her heart and said, "I drank too much wine, and my brain was confused." ”

Seeing that her face was flushed, Lu Ping said, "Didn't you let you drink leisurely?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue said embarrassedly: "It's not that I want you to win the project early, I don't dare to refuse them." ”

As he spoke, the taxi arrived.

On the way back, Lu Ping praised her, obviously satisfied, and said, "Do you know who the person sitting in the back seat of the car is just now?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue pinched the strap of the tote bag and tried to make her voice as stable as possible: "Who is it?" ”

"Zhou Yunchuan, the CEO and founding partner of Yunhe Capital, don't look at Xu Mingheng, in fact, it is Zhou Yunchuan behind him who is even more powerful. It's a pity that this person doesn't like to be in the limelight, and there is very little information that can be found on the Internet. ”

Liang Zhaoyue had heard of Zhou Yunchuan.

A bigwig in the private equity industry, when he was keen on venture capital and equity investment in the domestic capital market in his early years, he took a unique approach and set up a team to focus on M&A funds. At that time, the domestic M&A business was still in a semi-blank state, and his decision was not favored by the market at first. （*1）

Until 2013, when the domestic M&A trend was booming, Yunhe Capital rode the wind against the policy, and the team he led led managed more than a dozen cross-border M&A projects, involving an amount of more than 10 billion US dollars, and became a legend in the private equity industry in just a few years. （*2）

Nowadays, Yunhe Capital's business involves many aspects, including primary and secondary markets, but its M&A business has always been an important reference sample in the industry, and its trading methods can be described as skillful.

It is rumored that Zhou Yunchuan worked in a top foreign investment bank in his early years, and was engaged in mergers and acquisitions. Later, he resigned and returned to China to found Yunhe Capital, which was able to grow to the current scale smoothly, and the capital injection of his old club was indispensable.

Thinking of the few seconds of staring at each other just now, Liang Zhaoyue whispered, "He looks young." ”

Lu Ping sighed: "I am very young, at the age of 32, I can have this achievement, and I am the best among the people in the investment banking circle." ”

Lu Ping, 30 years old, has worked at Yinhai Securities for six years and has risen to the position of senior manager. Now he wants to go further and strive for the position of vice president, so he can only win over the project in many ways, transition from contracting to contracting, and play to the extreme in the contracting post.

Liang Zhaoyue said: "Master, you are also very powerful. ”

Lu Ping said: "You are not bad, a girl is so desperate, just now Xu Mingheng kept asking me if you don't want to die." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy to eat, it's not easy to stay in Yinhai to follow you for an internship, and I can't live up to your cultivation Master." ”

The previous sentence was his reply to what Xu Mingheng said just now, Lu Ping was stunned, and then laughed.

The smile is a little sour.

When they arrived at the school, Liang Zhaoyue said goodbye to Lu Ping and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

At ten o'clock in the night, the campus road was quiet, and a few insect chirpings were occasionally heard in the corner, which seemed to be more quiet this night.

After returning to the dormitory and taking a shower, Liang Zhaoyue sat at the desk and turned on the computer to write the internship record.

After writing, she saved the document and was about to turn off the computer, when she suddenly thought of something, she moved her mouse and clicked on the browser below, and then typed the word "Zhou Yunchuan" in the search box.

The page jumped, and at the moment when the page results were about to jump out, Liang Zhaoyue snapped and closed the computer.

She pulled the dry towel that lay on the shelf and wiped her hair with trepidation.

In the silence of the night, the electric fan on the chair was whirring and the wind was blowing.

Her heart pounded.

Liang Zhaoyue pressed her hand to her chest, and at the same time she was thinking-

She must be obsessed.
