Chapter 29 Angel Investment
Liu Tianshui was slightly surprised and couldn't help but tilt his head to follow Su Yu's gaze, only to see the back of a girl appearing in his field of vision.
The girl was wearing a well-cut white skirt. She had a good figure, shoulder-length short hair, and a straight waist.
Opposite the girl, an elegant young man wearing a dark shirt and holding a glass of red wine was smiling and talking to the girl.
"What, Xiao Su, do you know this girl?" Liu Tianshui met Su Yu's gaze and asked.
Su Yu nodded slightly, but before he could answer, he saw that the young men at the girl's table had noticed their gazes and smiled and nodded to them.
Following the young man's movements, the girl also turned her head and looked over.
At this time, Su Yu finally saw the other party's face clearly.
It was a beautiful oval face with fair skin and light makeup on the eyebrows. Under the beautiful bangs, the eyes were like autumn water silhouettes, which were very bright and beautiful.
After the other party noticed Su Yu, he was also slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Is that Young Master Yang from Kumho Group?" Liu Tianshui recalled carefully, remembering the identity of the young man who just smiled and nodded at them, turned his eyes and whispered, "This young master doesn't seem to have a good reputation. Well, they say he is a playboy who is addicted to beauty and spends money like water. Now it seems... the rumors are probably true! "
"Mr. Liu knows this young master from Kumho Group?" Su Yu also quietly looked back and asked calmly.
Liu Tianshui replied: "I have no personal contact with him, but I have occasionally seen this young master from a distance at certain parties. In my memory, every time I see him, there are always beauties around him."
Su Yu remembered that the last time he saw Young Master Yang, the actual situation was exactly as Liu Tianshui said. He couldn't help but smile and nodded: "That's really the case. It seems... Young Master Yang is in the Yuhang business world." Everyone knows that celebrities are addicted to beauty and spend money like water. "
"That's right." Liu Tianshui laughed and said, "In the entire Yuhang business world, his gossip is not much compared to some entertainment stars."
"I heard that he even nicknamed himself 'Business Beauty Boy', which almost made Chairman Yang angry to death."
"The handsome man in the business world?" When Su Yu heard this nickname, he couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Listen to Mr. Liu, this Young Master Yang is really interesting."
Liu Tianshui sighed: "It is only because of the great business of Kumho Group and the fact that Chairman Yang is an only son that we can allow him to act so wantonly, otherwise..."
"Little brother, it seems that we are really destined to meet again." While Liu Tianshui was sighing with emotion, Yang Hao had finished eating and paid the bill at some point, walked up to the two of them, glanced at Liu Tianshui, and then said to Su Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, "We are so destined... why not make friends and hang out together next time we have time."
Su Yu saw that he took the initiative to invite him twice, and it was not easy to refute the other party's face.
I couldn't help but stand up with a smile, shook hands with him, and exchanged contact information.
"Su Yu...a good name."
Yang Hao saved Su Yu's phone number, smiled and sighed, then shook his phone to indicate that he could contact him when he was free, and then turned and left.
As he leaves...
The girl who had been standing behind him silently glanced at Su Yu in a daze, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end after weighing for a long time, she swallowed her words and left with Yang Hao.
Liu Tianshui noticed the girl's demeanor when she left and guessed that she must be familiar with Su Yu.
I felt somewhat curious for a moment.
But Su Yu didn't mention it, and he couldn't take the initiative to ask. He could only suppress his curiosity and continue to talk about investment with Su Yu.
At 8:20 pm, the two of them had a good time after drinking a lot of wine.
Su Yu walked out of the Binjiang Hotel and was about to take a taxi back on the roadside. At this time, a pretty girl suddenly stood behind him and stopped him.
Su Yu turned around and found that the girl behind him was the girl who was eating with Yang Hao.
"Su Yu..." the girl said with a smile, "for the sake of me waiting for you for so long, can we have a chat?"
"I thought you left with Young Master Yang." Su Yu smiled and said, "This Young Master Yang is the eldest son of Kumho Group. He is a fat sheep. Didn't you kill it?"
"Can we talk properly?" The girl rolled her eyes at Su Yu, "Forget it if you don't want to talk!"
"What do you want to talk about?" Su Yu asked, then walked towards a cafe at the intersection ahead.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then followed Su Yu and said, "I want to know how you met this Young Master Yang, and... which securities company and sales department are you working for now? Oh... By the way, the boss just now was probably your client, right? I saw that he was very polite to you. Was he asking for something from you? Didn’t you say you planned to go back to Yuzhou to work now? Already..."
The girl asked all the way.
Su Yu didn't answer a word. He came to the cafe and found a seat by the window to sit down. Then he ordered two cups of coffee and then said, "Li Meng, I remember you didn't talk so much before."
The girl in front of him is his classmate.
To be precise, they were high school classmates and college classmates, which can be said to be a deep connection. However, the relationship between the two before graduating from college was not very good.
Really familiar...
It was after Su Yu solved a customer's harassment for her by chance.
"People have to grow up." Li Meng naturally took the cup of coffee that Su Yu pushed in front of her, said "thank you", and then continued, "Haven't you changed a lot? I remember that you didn't like to talk much before, especially when you said a few words to girls, you would start to blush."
Su Yu heard the other party mention these past history and hurriedly coughed.
Li Meng noticed his changes in expression, smiled lightly, and changed the subject: "In the past, the teacher always said that society is the most difficult subject to learn. At that time, I didn't quite understand it. I always felt that the teacher was bluffing. Now... I really realized that it is really not easy to really learn the course of "society" well."
"If you want it to be easy, it's actually simple." Su Yu stared at Li Meng's beautiful face, "You can find a rich second generation, or a big boss to marry."
Li Meng heard this and glared at Su Yu fiercely: "Do you think I can only make a living by my face? ? "
"If you can rely on your face, why not?" Su Yu said with a smile, "I would like to be a gigolo, but I don't have your conditions!"
Li Meng heard the hidden meaning in his words and said angrily: "Su Yu, do you think that I am close to Yang Hao just to get close to such a rich second generation and step into the threshold of Jinhu Group?"
"That's not the case." Su Yu said, "Your vision is not so small."
In his memory, Li Meng is a girl who looks weak but is very strong inside. She has her own ideas and persistence.
The family background, academic background, and work field of the two are similar.
The achievements of the next ten years...
In the trajectory before his rebirth, Li Meng relied on his own ability to achieve the position of fund manager of the '10 billion scale' level of public funds, which was not inferior to him.
Even at one time, the two were very close.
But in the end, the two found that neither of them was willing to give up their careers, and they were not suitable to be lovers, but only suitable to be friends, so they did not break that relationship.
Li Meng snorted softly and said, "This is barely a truth."
"I always tell the truth." Su Yu smiled.
Li Meng thought about it, but couldn't find any reason to refute this sentence. He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and changed the subject again: "Su Yu, you haven't told me yet, how did you know Young Master Yang?"
"Then how did you get in touch with him?" Su Yu asked back.
"A friend introduced him." Li Meng said, "My friend said that although Young Master Yang doesn't look very reliable, he is a cheerful person."
"The sales department's performance has been very poor recently..."
"I thought these second-generations are not short of money. There is no difference between squandering this money in the stock market and squandering it on consumption. Moreover, investing in the stock market is at least a serious investment with the possibility of profit, and it can also improve their image to a certain extent."
"So, I made an appointment with Young Master Yang to meet, hoping to pry a hole from him."
"What was the result?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
Li Meng sighed and said, "Of course it didn't work. Young Master Yang is not that easy to fool."
"He is rich, but not stupid." Su Yu said, "You are delivering it to him, but he doesn't want to take advantage of you. It would be strange if he agreed to it."
"I know that!" Li Meng smiled lightly, with a cunning look in her eyes, staring at Su Yu and said, "That's why I waited for you for a long time, hoping to find a breakthrough from you."
"I saw that Young Master Yang cares about you more than I do."
Su Yu didn't expect that she waited for him for a long time for this reason. He was surprised and said, "I don't know him well. Besides... have you forgotten that we are competitors in the same industry?"
"Oh, that's right... I forgot about it." Li Meng said in annoyance.
Su Yu noticed her demeanor and remembered that she had deliberately asked him which sales department he worked in. It seemed like she was asking deliberately, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You know I resigned from Huaxin Securities Sales Department, right?"
"No!" Li Meng pretended to be surprised.
"Oh!" Su Yu responded lightly and pretended to stand up, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll leave."
"Okay, okay!" Li Meng saw that her trick was discovered, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I have a sister who also works in your sales department. I heard about your resignation through her."
"Your intelligence network is really amazing." Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"No way." Li Meng replied, "I only know that you resigned, and the rest... I don't know anything."
The two are in a competitive relationship in the same industry, and Su Yu's personality is that he rarely takes the initiative, so even if the two have a good relationship, they rarely contact each other.
As for each other's dynamics, they know even less.
"Just know?" Su Yu asked, "Then what else do you want to know?"
"Of course, why Young Master Yang cares so much about you, and why the client invited you to dinner at a place like Binjiang Hotel." Li Meng cleverly turned the topic back, "Su Yu, you have resigned now, and these client connections are temporarily unavailable. Why don't you help me for the sake of our fellow countrymen and classmates?"
"What can I get in return?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you half of the commission, and one-third of the performance bonus. Is this sincerity enough?"
"Well..."
"If that's not what you mean."
"Since you have been my 'boyfriend' once, I can also reluctantly sacrifice myself and be your girlfriend for a month."
"Uh..." Su Yu was surprised and speechless about the conditions set by Li Meng. After a pause, he said, "For a business, your sacrifice... is really not small!"
"So... you agree?" Li Meng said happily.
Su Yu replied, "I think Yang Hao is not as simple as he seems. I'll try to get in touch with him. Don't have too much hope. Also... don't get involved in the circle of Yuhang's rich second generation. There is not much money, and it is very easy to suffer losses."
"I don't want to pretend to be your boyfriend and solve the problem of customer harassment for you."
Li Meng heard Su Yu's words and chuckled, "Su Yu, are you concerned about me? You won't fall in love with me, right? That's right... just now in the restaurant, I felt that you were a little jealous, but to be honest, you are still a little bit away from being my 'boyfriend'."
"I found that... I can't have a good chat with you."
Su Yu rolled his eyes at Li Meng and said, "History has proven that we are not suitable, so... don't think about it!"
With that, Su Yu got up and left.
"Hey, Su Yu, what history are you talking about?" Li Meng chased after Su Yu and asked in confusion.
Su Yu was still upset and didn't bother to pay attention to her. He walked out of the cafe, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and got in the car directly, but he didn't expect Li Meng to follow him quickly.
"Master, Huaiyin Community, Jiahe Road, Shangcheng District." Li Meng sat next to Su Yu and smiled and told the taxi driver.
Su Yu was stunned and asked, "Li Meng, how do you know my address?"
"Because I live there too!" Li Meng said, "My sister and I just moved last month. The rent there is the cheapest in the entire financial city."
"I didn't ask about your address, let alone that you also live in Huaiyin Community."
Su Yu didn't hear Li Meng's last sentence, but just murmured in his heart: "It's really strange, how come I never knew that we used to live in the same community."
He thought he knew each other well enough.
But he didn't expect that he was still vague about many key information about Li Meng.
"By the way, Su Yu, which brokerage firm are you going to work for next?" Li Meng asked, "If you don't have a clear plan for your next job, why don't you come to our sales department!"
"Our manager only recognizes performance, not people."
"Based on your performance at Huaxin Securities Fusheng Road Sales Department, our manager will definitely like you very much."
"I don't plan to work in a brokerage firm again." Su Yu replied, "I want to work alone, and then wait until the time is right to set up a private equity fund. In the sales department, even if there are no constraints for the time being, the ways and channels for advancement are very limited. I have to accumulate experience and qualifications, and many opportunities... I have missed them silently without knowing it."
Li Meng's eyes gradually brightened as she thought about Su Yu's words.
But she didn't have any intention of resigning in her heart. After all, she didn't have any foundation in Yuhang, and she didn't save any money. In order to survive, she couldn't afford the risk of being unemployed and going it alone.
What's more, as a girl, she wanted to build a career in Yuhang with her own abilities.
The difficulty was much greater than Su Yu's.
"Don't be jealous. When the company is established, I will invite you to be a fund manager. How about that?" Su Yu smiled and promised Li Meng.
Li Meng looked at Su Yu's confident look and was suddenly attracted for a moment.
But her promise turned into "I don't want it" when it came to her mouth.
Su Yu knew that she was being unforgiving, so he smiled and didn't care. He tilted his head to look at the night outside the car window and asked: "Li Meng, you are a girl, why do you insist on staying in Yuhang after graduation?"
"What are you talking about? Can't girls stay in Yuhang?" Li Meng replied.
Su Yu saw that she misunderstood his meaning, and explained: "I mean that if you return to Yuzhou, you will be closer to your hometown, and someone will help you. It will be much easier than being alone in Yuhang, and... the housing prices in Yuzhou are very low, whether it is the cost of living or the cost of settling down in the future, it will be much lower."
"Then why do you have to stay here?" Li Meng looked at his profile, "My reason is the same as yours."
When Su Yu heard this, he thought of Li Meng's family background and was slightly moved. Indeed... the two of them, in fact, are originally the same kind of people.
While the two were talking, the taxi had arrived at the destination.
Before Su Yu could reach out to pay, Li Meng had already paid the fare and opened the door to get out of the car.
"Hey, did you see the way the driver looked at me just now?" Su Yu got off the car and caught up with Li Meng, forcing the fare into her hand, "You don't give me any sense of accomplishment."
"Can a sense of accomplishment be eaten?" Li Meng shook her hand away, not taking the money from Su Yu's hand, and said, "Wait until you find a new job, or what you call starting a business, and make money before you care about these things. Although I don't know why rich second-generations like Yang Hao are interested in you, you look really poor now."
"Uh..."
Su Yu looked at Li Meng, who was half a head shorter than him, stubborn and competitive, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay..." Su Yu paused, stuffed the money back into his trouser pocket, and said, "Just think of it as Miss Li supporting my entrepreneurship. This 59 yuan fare is your angel investment in me."
PS: I rewrote this chapter at least three times, and revised the outline and storyline. It should not be as bad as the previous version, right? It is really about the emotional scenes and daily plots. The writing level is indeed a bit lacking, but I can't help but write. I can only try to improve slowly. Also... I have a lot of things to do recently during the Chinese New Year, so I can't update. I will try to make up for it later.
