New York, USA

It was deep at night, Fang Monan looked at the Asia-Pacific stock market transaction that had just ended on the computer, and the scattered people in the office all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.She stood up from the chair, stretched her waist, and rubbed her astringent eyes.After drinking the coffee that was already cold, it was a bit bitter, and I curled my lips. I am still not used to the taste of coffee when I come here, so let's drink it!She shivered from the cold, bitter liquid, and sat back down.

well!She had to continue with today's work, so she changed the layout, and then looked at the situation in Europe that had just opened. It was bleak!Looking up at others, some have just arrived, and they are mainly fighting in Europe.Just like her, she was immersed in her work, and the sound of typing on the keyboard kept coming and going, and she smiled wryly.

Fang Monan is one of the few Asian employees in a private equity investment company. Regardless of the small appearance and inconspicuousness, if you want to work here, you must have the strongest ability.But wanting to be a customer here is not just for anyone who has money and wants to get in. The threshold is so high that you can hardly imagine.

The people here generally focus on the financial market of their own country according to their nationality. If you have physical strength and energy, of course you are not opposed to observing a few more markets, so the rewards are also generous. [

Due to the financial crisis, one of them here can be used as two or three.During the day, it is the US stock market, at night, it is the Asia-Pacific market, and in the early morning, it is the European market.There are many people who want money and don’t want to die. Due to the long hours of work, it is obvious that the people here are in a sub-healthy state for a long time, and they will die from overwork sooner or later. just do.

When you are young, you trade your life for money, and when you are old, you trade your life for money. This is the truest portrayal.

"Boom! Nannan, stop watching." The tall man standing in front of her turned off her computer. "Go home first. It's been a long time since I've been working for more than ten hours in a row. Let's take a break and come back."

He knew that she must still be working, asking for money or not, because the coming European debt crisis: it has become a gluttonous feast for them private equity predators, which makes them very appetizing and excited. Due to time constraints, they all In a state of high-intensity work, you will only take a break if you can't support it.

Fang Mo stood up reluctantly, glanced at him, combed her long hair, and put on the down jacket hanging behind the chair. She couldn't hold it anymore, so she took a rest.She took his arm intimately and walked towards the elevator together.

Fang Monan looked up at the smiling man in front of him from Hong Kong.

His name is Cheng Shifei, a top-notch trader, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and thick. He doesn't have the delicate features of the southerners, but he has the boldness and boldness of the northerners. He is a very hearty person. Maybe his ancestors are from the North right!

He looked down at the long black hair, the skin that was originally as delicate as jade became a little dark yellow.Next to the deep eyes like black pearls, there are black dark circles under the eyes, which are comparable to the national treasure giant panda.Although she is not a big beauty, she can be regarded as a beautiful woman, but now her pale face is obviously lack of sleep.

Don't look at her being petite, her height has barely reached 1.6 meters, but she has extraordinary abilities. Although she has not been here for as long as him, her work is top-notch.I really don't know why she works so hard! .

They walked into the elevator together, Fang Monan pressed the number keys and asked: "What are the arrangements for getting off work?" He stuck out his tongue playfully and tapped his head, and said embarrassingly: "I still have to ask, it must be Stay with Tony!" Forgot to mention, don't look at the very mn man in front of you, but he is gay, now women not only have to guard against female mistresses, but also guard against male mistresses, which makes women's life impossible, no God!

He, who was still smiling just now, suddenly withered like a frost-beaten eggplant, and said sullenly: "We broke up." Went to get married, and the bride is a woman."

Fang Monan was stunned by his words, "This...this...how is it possible. Isn't he a victim?" Both are strangers in a foreign land, and they are both fallen in the world, so the two formed a revolution in their relationship. Like a friendship, so we don't talk about it.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he continued: "Who knows? It is said that it is for the purpose of passing on the family line. It's ridiculous! It's not our ancestors. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the latter is the biggest."

"Are you okay!" She asked worriedly, after all, the two of them had been together for many years, breaking up suddenly was not acceptable to everyone.

"What can happen, life has to go on as usual, whoever leaves the earth will continue to revolve." He can only comfort himself. In fact, he is not without feelings. He has thought of this day a long time ago, but it hasn't come yet. He is an ostrich all day long. That's all, but when the shoe finally fell to the ground, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, maybe he didn't love as deeply as he imagined!It might be better to think that way.

Then he patted his cheek and cheered up, "Sister Nannan, you have to comfort my wounded heart." He said with a smile of Xi Shi holding his heart.

Seeing him pretending to be strong, she laughed and said, "It's time to fight!" Pretending to raise her hand, "I'm older than you" to change the subject and dispel the oppressive atmosphere.

"It's only a month older than others." He muttered indifferently.

Fang Monan was no longer obsessed with the issue of age. Seeing him pretending to be serious, he comforted him distressedly: "Look at your pitiful appearance, order whatever you want."

"You did it with your own hands!" His eyes were shining, his mouth was slobbering, and he had a slanderous expression on his face.

"Yeah!" She nodded.

"Oh yeah, that's great." He almost jumped up with joy.

Cheng Shifei has known her for nearly ten years. The two of them are college classmates. She is really the most hard-working student he has ever seen. After five years of part-time work and part-time study, she obtained a doctorate in finance and a master's degree in law.

In addition to studying, she is like a spinning top, rushing to the market every day. In order to raise tuition and living expenses, she has done all kinds of hard work.For example, in Chinese restaurants, coffee shops, clothing stores, funeral homes, factories, clerks, and even one summer she went to a Texas farm to work for two months. When we met again, she was dark and thin, and her skin was tanned and cracked. It's hard to imagine how she survived.

Cooking skills are probably also honed by her doing odd jobs around. When it comes to cooking skills, one can learn it after eating. He has to believe in things like talent, which is like he can't tell the difference between sugar and salt.Whenever he makes a new dish, he is always the first to try it.Happiness!But now there are very few.I keep staring at the constantly beating data on the computer every day. During the day, it is the US stock market, at night, it is Asia, and in the middle of the night, it is Europe. Where can I still have time and leisure to cook.

"Ding!" The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot. "Go... go faster" he pulled her and rushed towards the car quickly.

The oncoming cold made Fang Monan shrink his neck, and the winter in New York was not as cold as the winter in the north.

They got into the car that didn't feel warm at all, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "Wait, it'll be fine when you drive it." She nodded to show her understanding.

In the early hours of the morning, there were almost no cars on the road, "Ha! There will be no traffic jams at this time." Cheng Shifei drove the driveway.He turned his head to look at the person in the passenger seat and said, "Go to my house today." Before she could reply, he continued, "Why don't you just move in and live with me! Anyway, I'm alone now. You're a girl living in Brooke. Not to mention the forest area is far away from the company, the most important thing is that the law and order is not good." Afraid that she would refuse, he said: "Just stay with me."

Originally thinking about how to decline his kindness, Mo Nan couldn't say no when he heard the loneliness in his tone.

Hearing her refusal, Cheng Shifei exclaimed happily: "Hey!"

"You! You are in the company, at home, two o'clock and one line all day long, and you don't attend any social activities. Just find a boyfriend and change your monotonous life. You will soon catch up with nuns." Cheng Shifei is like an elder Serious education.

"Have a boyfriend! I'm not interested! Maybe Yuelao's red line about me was forgotten in a corner, and he was saying that there is no time now, and he is so busy every day." She frowned and said with a look of disbelief. "If I have a boyfriend, can I still live in your house!"

After hearing this, he panicked and said: "Let's keep it as it is!" Just kidding, if she moves away, who will satisfy his stomach, the Chinese food abroad is not authentic at all.

In the open United States, it is a rare breed for her not to have a boyfriend, maybe it is really a lack of fate.She doesn't want to wrong herself, so she finds someone to make do with, and would rather be short than excessive.

Financially independent, women will not want to rely on men, relying on others is worse than relying on themselves.

No one is as good as I am. If a man can be trusted, a sow can climb a tree.

"Tell me, what is the origin of our boss, Shenlong, who sees the beginning but does not see the end." He looked like a gossip, "Hey, in this environment, he is like a dragon swimming in the sea, free and easy, earning a lot of money. , look at how many companies have closed down on this street in the past few days.”

"Who knows, I haven't seen the big boss in the company for so long. Besides, I was introduced by you. I have been working for almost two years. Your position is higher than mine. You have never met, let alone me." Thinking of her entering the company, she went through a strict review, not only the ability review, but also the eight generations of her ancestors.Like her, her family background is simple and clean, no trouble is the best.Looking at some customer information in hand, it is not easy to think about the background of the boss.

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

"No, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, our family's financial situation would not have improved a little bit." She should be thankful that her natural sensitivity to numbers has come into play. [

Fang Monan felt the temperature in the car gradually rise, leaned on his back, stretched his legs, lay down comfortably, and closed his eyes.Seeing her tired look, he stopped talking to bother her.

Thinking about it, it has been more than ten years since he came to the United States. With his intelligence, Fang Monan was willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. He also got a degree and a green card.A foreign student does not have a strong background, but relies on his intelligence to stand firm and become a modern version of a private worker. Everything has a price.

Everyone thinks that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China, but the taste in it is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.

She regretted it at the beginning, if she hadn't been hot-headed and followed the trend of going abroad, she wouldn't have gotten to where she is now.I think the family background was not bad back then, but after going abroad, I found that everything was not as beautiful as imagined.For living expenses and tuition fees, not only did he work hard, but he also dragged his family into embarrassment.I also thought about going, but unfortunately, the huge debts of the family and the economic downturn made her stay here. The salary here is very generous.

"Zhi, it's here." He braked the car and parked it 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, "OK" opened the door and walked out.Cheng Shifei drove towards the parking lot.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened, and Fang Monan walked in. Just as the elevator door was about to close, a tall man with wide sunglasses suddenly squeezed in. After the elevator door closed, he pulled out a fruit knife from behind. "Root, take out all the valuables on your body"

Fang Monan secretly cried out in his heart: Unlucky, it happened at this time, the elevator door has been closed, it is impossible to run away.Wearing wide sunglasses, you can't see his appearance. She is tall and tall. With her small body, she is obviously not in the same level.Hope is only for money, not for life.

"Don't get excited, here you are." Fang Monan hurriedly gave him the backpack in his hand, and he held the knife tremblingly in one hand, pointing at her.Holding the bag in the other hand, he raised it to his mouth and opened the zipper. "Hula" dropped all the contents on the ground at once. Mo Nan opened his hand tremblingly, and was blown away when he saw it.

He held the knife in both hands, waved it up and down, and said angrily, "Damn! Why is it only a few dollars? I have been waiting for most of the night. I thought this is a high-end apartment, why do you, a poor man, live here?"

"You damn yellow dog, why don't you live in a luxury apartment without money!" What a bully!

Seeing his robbery, Fang Monan guessed that he was a novice on the road, and he was a little bit annoyed, afraid that he would make dangerous moves on impulse, so he planned to fight and slowly looked for opportunities.

"Ding!" At this moment, the elevator door opened, and she bent down and rushed towards him with all her might.

It was estimated that the force was too strong, maybe the other party didn't expect her to resist, and the two of them fell out of the elevator all at once. "Ah!" The opponent's sunglasses fell far away.

"Help! Rob!" Immediately afterwards, Fang Monan, ignoring the pain in his body, got up and ran.

At this moment, he came to his senses, "It's too bad" he couldn't say it, and let her see his face. "Go to hell!" A figure flew towards her, with a gleaming knife stuck in the back of the neck, and blood spurted out all at once.

"Pain" Fang Monan threw himself on the ground, touched it with his hand, and found a sticky bright red liquid.finished!Feeling that her life was gradually passing away with the flow of blood, she was so unwilling to die in such a miserable way.

But it seems that everything is too late. If she does it all over again, she really wants to be with her family, but if she stays at home and dies of mold, she will not go abroad even if she dies, wasting money.Don't be so tired like a dog, your eyes are gradually getting black, but you don't notice the purple light from the blood-stained fingers under your neck.
