fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 29 Su Xiaoyu's New Chapter (2)
"How can we not distinguish?" Mother Su said again, glanced at her husband, and finally decided to go into battle by herself, "Xiaoyu, you have been working for so long. You used to be busy day and night in that BLM, but now you are in the new company. What's more... How can you have time to think about your own affairs if you go on like this?"

own business?Where does she need to think about these now?Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but look up and change the subject, "Dad, Mom, I don't have time to think about that right now. I'm just about to enter a business school and get an on-the-job MBA degree."

"Business school?" This time it was Mom and Dad's turn to raise their heads together, all four eyes wide open.

After talking about this matter with her parents, Su Xiaoyu held the application materials in her room for a long time at night.

She loved reading since she was a child, and she was able to enter BLM because of her excellent studies. When she graduated from university, she had a place to go directly to graduate school, but at that time, she only thought that if she worked one day earlier, her parents would be able to come to Shanghai to reunite one day earlier. mentioned to anyone.After working, the longer the time, the more I felt that the things I learned before were not enough. I always wanted to have the opportunity to continue my studies, but I was busy with work and had an accident at home. I would not think about these things again.This time when Yang Yan mentioned it, the thoughts that had been put down for a long time suddenly floated up again, and they were still thinking about them when they were lying on the bed.

But it was too late after all, she started to feel sleepy after thinking about it, and she closed her eyes and took a last look at the mobile phone beside the pillow, suddenly feeling a little strange.

Su Lei only contacted her once today, and he didn't call again after that. He was thinking about the business school and didn't care about it. Now that he was about to fall asleep, he remembered it. He put his hands on the phone in a daze, She thought about asking him what he was up to, but she was so tired that she finally fell asleep like this.

The next day Su Xiaoyu got up early to go to the company, she had something on her mind, she got up very early that day, when she arrived, the elevator in the building was quiet, and there was no one around.

Su Xiaoyu's way of decompression is very special, the more he has something on his mind, the more he likes to cook, as if looking at the small flame at the bottom of the pot will relax him.Out of habit, after entering the company, she walked straight to the small kitchen, ready to make a good breakfast.

Miss Lisa is an expert at making coffee. After she came, Su Xiaoyu handed over the task consciously. A man should reciprocate, so she often volunteered to prepare Western-style breakfast to share with Miss Lisa. Sometimes Master Wu would also come up, Everyone enjoyed themselves.

At that time, Su Lei didn't come here often, but later he often took her out of the company, and then breakfast basically became his exclusive benefit, and he hasn't had a chance to show his talents here for a long time. Familiar kitchen utensils are familiar, and I started looking for raw materials after taking off my coat.

She was going to make a thin omelet this morning, so she opened the refrigerator to find eggs, and then tiptoed to the cabinet above the stove to find cheese powder. The green cheese powder cylinder was used by Miss Lisa last time, and she was much taller than Su Xiaoyu. When it was put back, it was placed very far back, Su Xiaoyu saw that he couldn't get it, tried twice but failed, put his fingers on the edge of the wood, tiptoed as far as he could, his face flushed red.

Another hand reached over her fingers, brushed her fingertips, and grasped the green cylinder with ease.Not at all psychologically prepared, Su Xiaoyu was taken aback, turned around suddenly but forgot that she was still standing on tiptoes, and almost fell down.

Someone grabbed her waist, looked up and saw Chen Sulei, still holding the tube of cheese powder in one hand, holding her in the other, smiling and winking at her.

She's really useless, they've been together for so long, and facing such a bright light at close range, she almost got a nosebleed.

I thought that no one was earlier than me, but I didn't expect the boss to be so dedicated. Su Xiaoyu was a little bit embarrassed when he was making breakfast, but later found out that he was wrong. I really can't think of a place to go.

There are simple tables and chairs in the semi-open small kitchen. Su Lei didn't go away after taking the cheese powder for her, but pulled a chair behind her and sat casually. When Su Xiaoyu was making the ingredients, she heard the paper The sound of turning pages, turned around and found that it was him, and what he was reading was not a thick acquisition feasibility report, but a travel magazine.

If you stay with Su Lei for a long time, you will find that he is really not the kind of man who seems to be wound up like clockwork all day long. He usually has a laid-back posture, and he is even more lazy when he is around her. Stretched and folded, with both elbows resting on the armrest, eyes lowered, it took a long time to turn a page.

It's just that his side face is gentle, and there are shadows on his eyelashes. It is really beautiful to look at. Su Xiaoyu slowed down when he looked at it, and forgot to beat the eggs.

She cooks breakfast, he reads magazines, it's just that each of them will feel warm and happy when they do it this way. People really need company. The important thing is not what to do, but being together.

He turned another page, then raised his eyes, watching her speak, "Little fish, are you looking at me?"

Su Xiaoyu was looking at him in a daze. After waking up, she immediately blushed, and then she insisted on answering, "No way." Then she turned to look at the clock on the wall and changed the subject, "Why hasn't Miss Lisa come yet?"

"She went to Technology's head office in Taiwan today, and Lao Wu also went."

"Ah?" Su Xiaoyu was surprised, "Aren't you going?"

He lowered his head and turned a page again, with a gentle voice, "Little fish, do you want me to run around all day?"

Uh... He was running around and she was running around. For his own sake, Su Xiaoyu wisely chose not to answer, turned around and put down the beaten eggs and started making coffee, put his hand on the black coffee bean bag, and thought about it I wanted to take it back again, and turned to get the ingredients for hot chocolate.

There was something on her mind, she was making breakfast while thinking about how to tell him, unexpectedly after a while, he spoke first, with a relaxed voice, "Little fish, how about we go to France next month? Stay in the south for a while, by the way Look at my few friends who are so happy at the winery."

Su Xiaoyu was heating up the oil, and was taken aback when she heard it. Su Lei had taken her around before, but after all, he was in Asia most of the time because of the domestic projects, and he only came and went for a few days. The sudden proposal to go to Europe was not as simple as a few days, so how could she have time to prepare the application materials for business school?Unprepared for his proposal, Su Xiaoyu was confused for a moment, and was surprised when she looked back at him.

"What's wrong?" He looked at her leisurely, with a normal expression.

Unaccustomed to twists and turns, Su Xiaoyu almost blurted out the words I want to apply for a business school. Fortunately, being with him finally made some subtle changes. She finally paused for a few seconds before saying, "How long are you going? Here There are still many things waiting for you to decide."

He smiled, "Money comes and goes, isn't it just these things? It's fine if Lisa is here, and you can make decisions on the phone. Just finished the deal, let's take a break."

"But there are still many feasibility reports waiting to be done..." Su Xiaoyu struggled to continue.

He still smiled, "Small fish, the sea is so big, no matter how big the net is, it can't hold all the fish. What's more, there are mixed fish now, and some of them will tear the net."

Well, I'm basically used to being speechless when he says it. Su Xiaoyu is very resistant to blows. The oil is already hot. She turned around and poured the egg liquid down slowly. After a while, she opened her mouth. The voice is soft, but the sentences are clear.

"Su Lei, I don't want to go."

He was quiet for a while, and Su Xiaoyu didn't look back, she concentrated on evenly spreading the green peppers and bacon into the semi-congealed egg liquid, and the aroma came to her nostrils, she pursed her lips in the midst of the steaming heat , very serious expression.

"Why?" Finally heard Chen Sulei's voice, speaking three short words, not fast.

"I want to do a part-time MBA in a business school. It is difficult to apply for a scholarship. I need time to prepare." She put the finished pancake on a plate, and then began to pour hot cream into the melted chocolate, pouring it as she went. Stir well and give full attention.

The air was filled with the wonderful aroma of quiches and hot chocolate, but the small kitchen was quiet and there was no more conversation.

The hot chocolate was made in one go, Su Xiaoyu finally turned off the fire, picked up the cup and plate and turned around.He was still sitting at the original place, the magazine had been closed and thrown by the table, and he looked at her with his head propped sideways, his dark pupils were calm and calm.

All the cups and dishes in the kitchen are white, and the mugs of hot chocolate are no exception.The smooth dark chocolate contrasts sharply with the snow-white cup rim, and the white cream that has not yet fully melted is on the top, and the swirl is as beautiful.

He reached out to take the cup, glanced at it, and said, "Thank you."

Su Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to get her share.

Looking back, I saw that he was slowly turning the cup of chocolate, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Little fish, why don't you make coffee?"

How should she answer?Saying that I kind of guessed you might be upset, so plan ahead and stock up on chocolate to make you feel better?
It was shameful to say anything, she decided not to speak, and buried herself in breakfast.

He also started to move the knife and fork, and the steaming thin omelette was prepared by amateur chef Su Xiaoyu himself. Of course, the taste was first-class, but the atmosphere at the table was silent, and she felt inexplicably stressed, so although she ate well He didn't lift it, but he didn't see how much he swallowed for a long time.

"Xiaoyu, when did you decide to apply to business school?" Suddenly he heard his voice again, with a normal tone.

Su Xiaoyu didn't hide his habits, and told the truth, "Actually, I've always wanted to continue studying. I didn't have the time before. When I had morning tea with Yang Yan yesterday, she mentioned that there is a part-time MBA with a scholarship that I can apply for, and I was very excited." I want to give it a try."

The sentence was long. She spoke slowly at the beginning, but then she went along with it. She simply raised her head to look at him, "Su Lei, I will prepare in my spare time. It won't affect my work. Don't worry."

"What about tuition fees? MBA is not cheap. I don't think everyone can apply for that scholarship, right?" He smiled.

Unexpectedly, he would discuss this with herself, Su Xiaoyu began to relax, put down the knife and fork and smiled, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, we can talk about it next year, I will do what I can."

She had thought it over last night, and also thought that he might feel unhappy because she would not have much free time to accompany him around in the future, especially just now, she rejected his proposed trip to France, originally she was a little nervous Yes, but I didn't expect him to start discussing with her in a natural tone after being quiet for a while. She was relieved and happy, and it was very smooth when she spoke again.

He was still holding the knife and fork, and bowed his head with a smile after listening to her words. Su Xiaoyu was talking about the content of the application with great interest, completely unaware that his knife and fork was just resting on the pancake, and had no intention of dropping it at all.

"I have to work and study at the same time, aren't you tired?"

"No, you don't feel tired if you have a goal." Feeling that he didn't object to her decision, Su Xiaoyu began to smile.

"The goal? Isn't it to buy a house, repay the mortgage, buy it after paying off, and then pay it back?" He smiled with his eyes downcast, and said her classic quote from a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered, Su Xiaoyu blushed, "Su Lei, you laughed at me again. In fact, I want to learn more things, which will be useful no matter where I am in the future."

"Really? Then where are you going from now on?" He raised his eyes to look at her, his voice as gentle as water.

She was stunned and stared at him for a long time, his eyes were dark and she couldn't see anything clearly, she gradually realized that she was stupid before, but sad again later.

"No, I haven't thought about where I'm going yet." She finally missed his gaze, and then replied, her voice softened, "I just thought, if you want to go to France, you can go anytime, but now I need Time to prepare for exams and apply for scholarships."

"Why bother? You can swipe your card." He put down his knife and fork and went to get the cup of hot chocolate at hand.

"No, I can do it myself." After getting the card, she never used it, and he never mentioned it. Su Xiaoyu was very uncomfortable when he suddenly heard him say that.

The dining table became quiet, Su Xiaoyu had been looking at a white cloud outside the window since she looked away before, and it changed many shapes in just a few minutes, but she couldn't figure out what each one looked like.

There was the sound of a chair being pushed beside her ear, she turned her head, only to see that he had stood up and smiled at her before leaving.

"OK, Xiaoyu, I'll wait for your good news."

She didn't make a sound, just watched his back disappear like this, there was still the smell of fried eggs and hot chocolate in the kitchen, the heating was strong, the white cloud outside the window against the blue sky was still unpredictable, everything was warm and comfortable , rich, but she only felt sad, and sat alone for a long time in silence before she began to cheer up, pursed her lips and got up, and began to pack her things.

Su Lei, I was right, and I have no regrets.So what if I could travel the world with you?So what if I can do whatever I want with the card you gave me?How long can we be together?a year?two years?five years?ten years?You can choose any Su Xiaoyu you want, is it me now, will it be me in the future?What I want is not to regret the present, nor to be afraid of the future.

Thinking of this, her mood gradually calmed down, thinking about how to prepare the application materials next, and continued to be busy.

This breakfast took a long time, but the two of them didn't eat much, there was a lot left in each cup and plate, but when she finally picked up Su Lei's cup, her hands were light, and she lowered her head again, it turned out that only it was empty.
