With the final exam approaching, and having been criticized by the whole school, the students in the 96-level performance class have been much more honest during this period. No one tried to skip classes and deserted. The day's classes ended in the afternoon. Under the envious eyes of the boys in the class, the class A group of girls gathered around Zhu Momo and left the classroom and walked out of the teaching building.
A certain girl who is an auditor but is one of the brightest stars in the school is inviting everyone to dinner today.
Unfortunately, it’s only for girls.
Regarding Zhu Momo, everyone knows her identity best: she is an internationally renowned supermodel, and she also participated in Zhang Guoshi's "Speak Well". It can be said that no one in the country knows about it, but other than that, what everyone can know is that Zhu Momo is Momo lives in a mysterious courtyard not far from the school.
Even though many people speculate that Zhu Momo belongs to the type of people who are hidden in a golden house, if someone can hide their spoiled children in such a standard, probably... it will not be that easy to refuse.
They left the campus in a crowd and entered the leafy alley outside the school in the summer. Compared to the Zeng Dameili, who were more or less reserved, the International Chapter unknowingly crowded around Zhu Momo. Unfortunately, due to the height difference, they were a little bit Due to the huge disparity, I couldn't hold the girl's arm, so I could only hug another classmate beside me and said, "Hey, do you think it's true that Teacher Chang said that if you don't do well in this exam, you will be asked to leave?"
This topic obviously resonated with the girls. The international chapter hugged a girl named Mu Xiaowei and said: "It must be true. I have asked about it. Some people have been persuaded to quit in the past few sessions."
When everyone heard this, their faces became even more worried.
Then another girl with an earthy name, Xun Mei, who was ranked high among the girls, said: "It must be Liao Yong and the others who are at the bottom who want to persuade them to quit. We are always stronger."
The girls thought it was true and relaxed a little more.
International Zhang turned to Zhu Momo, who was obviously taller than the other girls next to him, and raised his head slightly with a hint of flattery that he didn't know he had: "Momo, you are the most enviable, you don't have such worries."
Of course Zhu Momo would not be complacent about this, and said with a grimace: "But I don't have a diploma, and it's fine without a diploma. If I don't study well in the future, my mother will punish me. Why do you think I have to go to those cultural institutions recently?" class."
International Zhang said: "Your mother also does it for your own good. It's always good to learn more. What's more, you don't need a diploma now."
These words caused another envy.
And some speculation.
Although Zhu Momo didn't do well in class, her IQ and EQ were not lacking at all. After getting along with her for more than half a year, everyone couldn't get much useful stuff out of this girl. Regarding the courtyard where Zhu Momo lives, everyone's impression is that it is very mysterious. You know, in the past two months, the alley where the courtyard is located was even under martial law, and no one was allowed to pass.
Martial law.
It's very high-end when you think about it.
Even on weekdays, visible to the naked eye, the alley separated by only a few hundred meters has more police patrols than other places.
In addition, Zhu Momo occasionally revealed that her mother was an official. In addition to some people insisting that the girl was hidden in the golden house, some people thought that Zhu Momo might be the kind of super second generation with a great background.
In short, it is beyond their reach.
Today, Zhu Momo unexpectedly invited everyone to have a dinner at his residence, which finally gave everyone a chance to take a peek.
This is also what everyone is curious about.
I don’t understand why Zhu Momo, who is usually approachable but pays great attention to her privacy, suddenly invited them to have a dinner. However, in any case, because Zhu Momo gets along very well with everyone on weekdays, none of the girls objected. Some girls even think that it would be good if Zhu Momo could introduce them to some people.
Passing through the Beibingmasi Hutong outside the north gate of Zhongxi Opera, and passing by the intersection, everyone saw a group of community ladies wearing flowers and ribbons, banging and banging, parading through the north-south streets. They stopped and watched for a while.
This is the norm in Beijing these days.
Even those who don't understand can understand the reason for the excitement if they look up at the "Warmly Celebrating Hong Kong's Return" banner hanging above the intersection.
After the parade parade passed, the girls walked to Mao'er Hutong across the street, and International Zhang seemed to say casually: "Momo, have you been to Hong Kong?"
Zhu Momo nodded: "I've been there, but I can only pass by and didn't stay for a few days."
Mu Xiaowei, who was standing next to the International Chapter, said: "That's better than us. I've grown up and I've never been to other places except to go to the capital to go to school."
Zhu Momo smiled and said: "I will be back soon. We will all be stars in the future. We must go wherever we want. Besides, Hong Kong is actually quite boring."
Another girl named Luo Yan said: "That's right. Hong Kong is definitely not as interesting as New York, Paris, London, etc. We've all been there."
International Zhang smiled and continued: "Yes, I still have the Harper's Bazaar magazines from the four major fashion weeks at the beginning of the year. Momo is so beautiful."
Zhu Momo smiled and shook her head: "You will know after you try it. Working more than ten hours a day does not feel good at all. I am often helped back to my residence."
"If I had this opportunity, I would be willing to be carried back when I am tired."
As he was chattering like this, he soon arrived at the gate of No. 11 Maoer Hutong.
Zhu Momo rang the doorbell, and soon a sassy girl in uniform with a ponytail opened the door. She looked sharply at the group of girls around Zhu Momo, then showed a faint smile, nodded slightly, and gestured sideways to everyone. Women can enter.
The aura of the girl made the girls who were looking forward to it couldn't help but restrain themselves. They followed Zhu Momo in like little quails, turned around the screen wall and entered the second door. Looking at the spacious courtyard in front of them, Zhu Momo turned to one side. He walked to the verandah and hurriedly followed. When he was about to enter the third courtyard, a pair of sisters who were obviously similar came up to them.
"Miss Zhu, you are back. Oh, and everyone, welcome."
Zhu Momo nodded with one of them, and said to the girls behind him: "This is Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi, they are the housekeepers here." After speaking, he turned to his sister Jiang Shanwu: "Is my aunt back? Also, dinner is ready How is it?"
"Ms. Mo came back in the afternoon and has been in the Garden Library."
Zhu Momo thought about it for a moment and said, "Then, everyone and I will also have a meal in the garden."
Jiang Shanwu asked: "Now?"
"Of course not. We'll wait until it gets dark. I'll take everyone to the garden first."
After Zhu Momo finished speaking, she gestured to the quails behind her and entered the third courtyard where she lived. Instead of entering the house, she went directly to the garden next door from the side door.
If the courtyard just passed by gave people a sense of solemnity, the Suzhou garden-style garden next door made the girls feel suddenly brighter.
Jiji Zhang watched Sister Jiang Shanwu leave and thought about what happened after entering.
From the reaction of everyone in the yard after entering the door, it is very likely that Zhu Momo is not the owner of this place. Therefore, the statement about the super second generation is probably not true. On the contrary, it is more likely that the golden house hides the beauty. Well, it seems so. Something is wrong. If it was a hidden beauty in the golden house, she wouldn't...even Aunt Zhu Momo hide in there too.
However, who can say for sure about this kind of thing.
Ji Ji Zhang's thoughts turned to evil unknowingly. He only looked at the female guard who had an unusual aura when he just entered the door, and the pair of sisters whose appearance and temperament were no worse than them just now. Coupled with all the things he saw and heard in daily life, it was enough. This illustrates the immense power of the owner behind this courtyard house.
It seems that it is not impossible for such a big shot to have a pair of blood-related women from Jinwu Zangjiao.
Compared with the desolation of winter, the garden in summer is full of green trees and blooming flowers. Coupled with the classical temperament of the entire garden, the girls walking on the cobblestone path can't help but feel much better, even if they have different thoughts.
After Zhu Momo led the girls to the flower hall across the small pond in the courtyard and signaled that they were welcome, everyone found a place to sit down.
Mu Xiaowei, who has a typical melon-seed face and a pure temperament, was lying on the mahogany bench by the window of the flower hall, looking at the scenery in the garden. He couldn't help but said to the international Zhang next to him: "It feels like entering the Grand View Garden."
International Zhang did not answer, but Xun Mei on the other side couldn't help but said: "How is it possible? The Grand View Garden is much bigger than this one. This can only be regarded as a small garden."
Mu Xiaowei noticed the sourness in Xun Mei's tone and smiled: "Anyway, I will never be able to afford such a garden in my life."
Zhu Momo picked up the intercom in the flower hall and asked the maids to bring some tea and snacks. Listening to the discussions around her, she smiled and said, "You guys are chatting. Someone will bring tea later. I'll go say hello to my aunt." .”
Although the girls wanted to continue to follow and take a look at the two-story library separated from the inner courtyard by the flower hall, seeing Zhu Momo say so, they had no choice but to stay here.
Zhu Momo left the flower hall and walked to the library not far away. After entering the door, she looked around and saw no one, so she went straight to the stairs.
When I arrived on the second floor, I saw my aunt Mo Wuling sitting at the large desk by the window. The table was covered with a pile of information, and she was reading with her head down.
Just as Zhu Momo was about to walk over lightly to give his aunt a 'surprise', Mo Wuling didn't even raise his head and said, "Bring so many girls here, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Momo felt a tone similar to her mother's when her aunt spoke, and she stuck out her tongue guiltily. She walked over carefully and looked at the information on the desk, feeling a little surprised. This time it was not various professional books on film and television, but information on finance and economics, as well as some newspaper clippings.
Zhu Momo picked up one of them and read the traditional Chinese title: The Thai government announced that it would abandon the Thai baht, and the Thai baht's exchange rate against the US dollar fell by 19% in a single day.
this…
Well, what's the situation
Thinking in his mind, Zhu Momo asked: "Auntie, what are you looking at these for?"
When his niece asked about it, Mo Wuling, who had just been somewhat dissatisfied with the girl bringing a group of classmates back, turned his eyes again to a document in front of him, covering up some flickers in his eyes, still maintaining a certain momentum, and said confidently: "Thai baht today It collapsed, why didn’t you pay attention to such a big thing?”
Zhu Momo could only shrink her neck again.
This is all a mess. If we want to pay attention, it should be a man far away in the United States. She is just a little woman he keeps deep in the courtyard. He should pay attention to what clothes he is wearing today or what he is eating at night. , is serious.
Zhu Momo thought so in his heart and said it directly.
But he didn't know that these words made Mo Wuling next to him feel a little embarrassed for no reason, so he could only rush people away: "Okay, go and accompany your classmates. Don't bother me here."
Seeing her aunt talk about 'serious things', Mo Wuling hugged her with a smile: "Auntie, why don't you go down and say hello to everyone?"
"I'm not familiar with what I'm going to do."
"Then, I'll call you later during dinner?"
"I'll go next door and eat it myself."
Zhu Momo didn't understand why her aunt had an inexplicable bad temper. However, thinking about it again, women probably have those few days every month, so they didn't go into details and could only go downstairs again.
Then, even though it was not my little woman's turn to worry, I still couldn't help but think of the news headline I just read.
The Thai government abandons the protection of the baht exchange rate.
Um…
This seems to be related to short selling, hedging, quantum funds, etc. After all, she has read some newspapers on weekdays, but this matter has been quite lively recently.
But I didn’t think deeper.
I don't even know if this matter is related to the man in the United States.
never mind.
It would be best to have some fun tonight.
When Zhu Momo regarded the abandonment of the Thai baht as an episode in her life, she didn't know that today, the financial market in Southeast Asia was in turmoil.
Even though Soros' attacks on the pound and the Mexican peso have been successful in previous years, this time it is obviously different.
At the beginning, the British government only made some concessions to the pound exchange rate, which was far from giving up. As for the Mexican peso, because it is close to North America, even the U.S. government did not want its neighbors to fall into turmoil due to currency collapse, so it also had some reservations. .
This time, there was no room left.
Beginning in May, international currency speculators led by George Soros launched successive rounds of attacks on the Thai baht. Under heavy pressure, the Thai government gradually changed from an initial resolute resistance to a follow-up initiative to seek peace. After finding that seeking compromise was fruitless, , faced with the continuous selling pressure on the Thai baht currency in the international currency market, it was finally unable to use foreign exchange to undertake it.
Finally, at noon today, the Thai government held a press conference and announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system of the Thai baht pegged to the US dollar and allow the Thai baht to be freely convertible and floating.
Obviously due to the influence of a certain super butterfly with increasing influence, compared with the previous July 2, this time, the Thai baht abandoned its defense 5 days earlier. On the other hand, the choice of June 27 to abandon the protection of the fixed exchange rate may have some of Thailand's little thoughts.
Today is Friday.
On the following Saturday and Sunday, most financial markets will cease trading, which can also be regarded as giving the Thai government a certain buffer time to save itself.
