Chapter 60. Twenty-Three Years Old Pursuit(2/3)
So Xuezhu left home with her suitcase and set off for the hotel.
On the way to the hotel, Meng Yuning called and asked her if she had arrived in Shenzhen.
Xuezhu subconsciously looked out the car window: "It's here, I'm on the way to the hotel now."
He said in a confused tone: "Don't you live at home?"
"My dad is on a business trip. It's boring for me to be alone at home. Anyway, I have arranged a hotel room for me in the party, so it's useless to stay."
"So," Meng Yuning paused for a few seconds and asked again, "Which hotel is it?"
Xuezhu sent him the hotel location directly.
There is no corresponding seat in the hotel room. There is a room for men or women. Everyone has grown up long ago, and it is not a child who goes out for a spring outing. There is not so much attention. As long as you love and I want to sleep in any room, no one cares.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that class reunions lead to an increase in cheating rate.
However, these statements have nothing to do with Xue Zhu, and she is not interested.
She lives in the same room with a classmate named Zhang Ning.
Xue Zhu is familiar with her because both of them are studying in the university in Shanghai. Although the schools are different, their campuses are close to each other and it takes only ten minutes to ride a bicycle. Therefore, Zhang Ning often rides a shared bicycle to find Xue Zhu and get the meals in their school’s canteen.
Zhang Ning's personality is a bit similar to Zhu Qingying. Even the catchphrase of "Sisters go together in their lives, whoever gets single first is a dog?" is exactly the same, so Xuezhu likes to get along with her.
As soon as we met, Zhang Ning's first greeting was indeed: "Have you found a boyfriend?"
Xue Zhu hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head: "No."
Zhang Ning immediately hugged Xue Zhu excitedly: "I feel relieved when I see you have no man, good sister."
Although Xuezhu responded to Zhang Ning's hug, she actually thought with a sense of superiority in her heart.
Sisters, we are different.
Of course, she only had a little superiority in her heart and did not dare to say it.
The evening dinner was held in the hotel's middle-floor buffet restaurant. The formal grade dinner was actually at noon the day after tomorrow. The teachers would come here. Tonight was a preheating. There were still many people who didn't come back from other places, but it was still very lively. The buffet restaurant made a party for these 14-year-old graduates.
Xuezhu and Zhang Ning were taking the elevator downstairs together. As soon as they entered the restaurant, Zhang Ning's eyes suddenly shone and their eyes were whizzing towards everyone.
"This is all connections, my future is bright." She sighed happily.
Xuezhu's eyes were also shiny because she saw the brownie cake she liked to eat on the multi-layer dining truck.
She doesn't like this kind of gathering with too many people, which makes her feel uncomfortable because she is worried about getting separated from Zhang Ning. When she passed by the dining car, she took a small cake and then followed Zhang Ning into the crowd.
Otherwise, students who graduated from Finance and Economics University have a vicious vision and clear purpose, and they all go to the crowd of people full of capitalism.
This group of people don’t eat a regular meal, and can drink a glass of red wine for half an hour. They stand together and praise each other gracefully.
One of them said to Zhang Ning: "I heard you have entered the Four Great Masters? It's amazing, so I'll try to become a partner as soon as possible."
Zhang Ning immediately said modestly: "No, now there are accountants all over the streets, so it's not rare. It's better for you to invest in the financial industry."
The man immediately kicked back as a ball: "Just work for the foreigners, what's the point?"
Xuezhu's small cake has been eaten, and he stood beside him and listened silently to them criticize him openly and secretly.
These people have not left school for a few years, but they have already had the same taste as her father and Uncle Li when they interact.
The future is promising.
The young man who was talking to Zhang Ning was not familiar with Xue Zhu. He only knew that there was a pretty transfer student in Class 11. He was still storm in the post bar at that time. However, at that time, the senior high school students were nervous. Some people heard this as gossip, going in the left ear and out of the right ear, and then talking about something when they had something to do after the college entrance examination.
The young man approached her: "Class Pei is also in our business?"
Xuezhu: "No."
Zhang Ning: "Her dad is a real estate businessman, but he is not like us, he is essentially a worker."
The young man nodded immediately in agreement: "That is true, except for the top people in the industry, we are just workers."
Zhang Ning suddenly remembered the industry gossip she heard at the beginning of this year: "I heard that your investment bank has appointed an executive under 30 years old to the branch as the vice president this year. Is it true?"
Their contact networks are more or less overlapping in the financial industry, and any major news spreads very quickly.
"Really," the man gave a positive answer, "Haven't all the documents on the official website of the Securities Regulatory Bureau come out?"
"Have you ever met that vice president?"
The man shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but I heard about it when I was internship. A very awesome person, a bachelor's degree in LSE finance, a graduate student at Peking University Guanghua, had already reached a high-level position in the London headquarters before returning to China. After returning to China, he could be considered an airborne. However, his personal abilities account for the majority and his connections are really good. I heard that the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this year is his fellow villager, so he helped him get a lot of ways when he was in London."
There is a phenomenon of admiration in every industry. The more Zhang Ning listens, the bigger the mouth opens.
"Then is this vice president married?"
"No, I haven't heard of it. The so-called good women don't marry a man from the bank."
"How many women are in a hurry to marry an investment bank man with his conditions," Zhang Ning asked, "It's impossible that he doesn't have a girlfriend even if he is almost thirty, right?"
The man smiled and said, "How can I know this? I have never met this person before. If you have the chance to see him one day, please ask yourself."
Zhang Ning twitched the corner of her mouth: "If I really have this opportunity, why do I ask you?"
Xue Zhu next to her didn't know what they were talking about, but inexplicably felt that the vice president they were talking about became more and more familiar with him the more they listened.
Zhang Ning finally asked: "Does he have Wikipedia online? Let's see what this vice president looks like. If you encounter it on the road, you can still get a signature."
The man touched his chin and thought: "His English name is LennyMeng, and his Chinese name seems to be three words... I can't remember it."
Xuezhu suddenly spoke: "Meng Yuning?"
The man suddenly realized: "Ah, yes! That's the name."
Zhang Ning turned her head and looked at Xuezhu in surprise: "How do you know? You also read gossip about the financial industry?"
Xuezhu's tone was complicated: "It's almost the same-"
It’s easy to search with Chinese names. A few minutes later, Zhang Ning shouted: “Mom, this is really a top-notch!”
***
After returning to the hotel room after the buffet, Zhang Ning was still checking for news about the vice president.
After all, she is not a celebrity, and the materials are flying all over the sky. The information that can be found on the Internet is too limited. Just a few lines of resumes are not enough to see. What she wants is a photo, a close-up photo.
After Xuezhu took a shower, she found that Zhang Ning was still checking.
She had a kind of vain and evil taste in her heart inexplicably. After a long time of struggle, she finally decided to confess to Zhang Ning that she actually knew Meng Yuning.
"Zhang Ning," Xuezhu sat down on her bed, "I'll tell you something, don't be too surprised."
Zhang Ning was staring at the phone, but she didn't look up and said, "Tell me."
"Actually, I know Meng Yuning."
Zhang Ning looked up at her and said calmly: "Unless you give me a photo he couldn't find online now, I assume you are thinking about nothing."
Xuezhu's competitive spirit came as soon as she said that, and immediately picked up her phone to send Meng Yuning WeChat to ask him to send a photo.
Their chat records were stuck when she first arrived in Shenzhen this afternoon.
Master Bamboo: [Cat Probe.jpg]
Island:【Touch the head.jpg】
Island:【What's wrong】
Lord Zhuzi: [Do you have any photos? The one you can't find online, please send me one]
No reply for several minutes.
Xuezhu was a little worried, was she too abrupt?
Then he went back.
Island:【Naked/photo?】
Sometimes he suddenly plays with black humor and it's really speechless.
Lord Bamboo:【…】
Lord Zhuzi: [You, you, can you take nude photos?]
Island:【No, but if you want to see it, I can take a photo for you】
Lord Zhuzi: [No! Just a normal photo, thank you]
Island:【Okay】
Xuezhu was rubbing her hands and waiting for him to post a photo.
Then Meng Yuning made a video call. She jumped on the spot twice, which made Zhang Ning startled: "What's wrong?"
Xuezhu glanced at Zhang Ning.
I don’t know what Meng Yuning wanted to say when he sent a video call, but if he talked in front of Zhang Ning, what if he said something ambiguous and she couldn’t hold back her laughter and was seen.
She held her cell phone and hid back to the bathroom.
Carefully pressing the green answer button, Xue Zhu schemingly turned off the front camera on his side.
So Meng Yuning could only see the darkness on her side.
