Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 534: Champs-Elysées Women's Residence

Wen Liang told everything about last night's encounter, even including the fact that Miao Qingyan stayed overnight and took a shower. There was actually nothing to hide. Normally on TV, when you see the male and female protagonists fighting for dozens of episodes over a misunderstanding that could be explained with just one sentence, it's really hilarious. Of course, he wouldn't make such a stupid mistake when it came to himself.

Ning Xi was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Is there really such a girl?"

"She's upstairs. I just kicked her out before you came over. Let's have dinner together some other day and get to know each other. Her dialect is really scary!"

After staying in the room for a while, the two of them went to the snack street opposite the apartment to have some breakfast. Looking at the hustle and bustle of the street, Wen Liang smiled and said, "I wonder if the day when Qinghe opens a branch in Beijing will be too far away..."

"It should be about the same within two years. If you hadn't emphasized the need to be steady, it wouldn't be impossible to reach the capital within a year!"

"It's better to be steady. Chinese food is not like Western food. If the foundation is not solid, it will damage your reputation. More haste, less speed. Take it slow!"

After breakfast, Wen Liang walked to the intersection, turned the key around on his fingers twice, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go drive!"

Ning Xi shook her head and said, "Let's go for a walk. It's still early. We don't want to be far from Tongtai here, so we can still make it there by walking!"

Wen Liang agreed without hesitation, turned aside, and politely asked Ning Xi to go first. The two of them walked side by side on the streets of the capital, neither of them spoke, occasionally their eyes crossed and they smiled knowingly at each other. From meeting to falling in love, it seemed like many years had passed, but it also seemed like it was just yesterday.

The city, which had been dormant for a night, also began a new day. Thousands of people greeted the rising sun and rushed to their respective paths of life. It was noisy, crowded, and busy, but no one dared to stop. In the twenty years since then, people's pace has become faster and faster, but the happiness on their faces has become less and less, just like the joke that has been widely circulated in later generations: "Are you happy?" "My last name is Zeng!"

Are you happy

Wen Liang put his hands in his coat pockets and sighed, "We suffer for money, work hard for money, and finally die for money! How wonderful it would be if communism could be realized, with distribution according to need, everyone getting what they deserve, having their own house to live in, their own land to cultivate, their children to be taken care of, their old people to rely on, and everyone being happy whether they have something to do or not, how happy it would be!"

"Communism?" Ning Xi suddenly remembered something and sneered, "I hope it can be realized!"

Entering the hall of Tongtai Securities, everyone's face was filled with anxiety. They were whispering in twos and threes, discussing nothing more than the missiles launched at 0:00 and 1:00 this morning and the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait. Everyone was prepared for the worst. Once the stock index fell sharply, it would likely deal a fatal blow to the stock market that had just recovered!

After entering the special account room on the 8th floor, Ai Yiyi, who replaced Zhou Wei as the chief trader, came up to greet him. He looked solemn and whispered, "All places have been contacted, and the plan has been fully communicated. A small number of people were emotionally unstable, but they were appeased one by one. There shouldn't be any big problems!"

Ning Xi nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's Lei Fang?"

"Mr. Lei just came over and said he was very bored, so he went out to smoke a cigarette!"

"Well, get ready!"

At nine in the morning, the Shanghai Composite Index opened 57 points lower, and then the heavyweight sectors such as securities, real estate, finance, and banks fell sharply, driving the market downward all the way, breaking through the 5-day, 10-day, 0-day, and 10-day moving averages in succession. At the same time, major stock analysts began to speak out, and bearishness instantly became the mainstream, which indirectly affected the confidence of many investors. The market began to go from panic to pessimism to despair. There was a panic in the market, and any slight disturbance could cause a large number of follow-up selling. The bankers began to hold shares and wait and see, and retail investors cut their losses. No one would object to using doomsday to describe the chaos of this day!

Ning Xi's confidence was also shaken by the crazy decline in the stock index at the beginning. Think about the previous two-year bear market, how many people were trapped in it, unable to live or die. Who can guarantee that this bull market is just a flash in the pan and will be beaten back to its original state today

Ai Yiyi's fingers were trembling slightly. This was the first time in his not-so-long trading career. He raised his head and looked at Ning Xi, saying, "Do you want to place an order?"

There were continuous large sell orders on the selling side of Shangning Hi-Tech, but there were very few buyers at the lower end. It should be that some big investors who were stuck at high prices were panicking and selling, and they were willing to sell at a loss. Ning Xi was a little hesitant. She was not afraid of losing this little money, and it would not be a big deal even if she put all her money in. However, the most difficult and most important part of trading was the confidence of the trader.

Without confidence, there will be no decisiveness. Opportunities are fleeting and one wrong move will lead to a complete loss. Therefore, you must have a basic judgment of the overall trend, and then, under the guidance of this judgment, formulate a series of plans to become a banker.

And now, it seems that this judgment is wrong!

Wen Liang stood up and walked to Ning Xi's side, gently pressing his slender palm on her shoulder. Ning Xi looked up at Wen Liang. His eyes were clear and far-reaching, just as firm and fearless as he was every time a crisis came!

Ning Xi turned around suddenly, calmed her pounding heart, and said, "500 lots to pay for it, eat it!"

August 8 is an unforgettable day for many people at home and abroad. If we narrow the scope a little, for all shareholders of the Republic, this is a day that makes people cry when they talk about it many years later!

After a day of violent turbulence, the Shanghai Composite Index closed at 85 points, down 5.57% for the whole day. More than 100 stocks fell by about 6%. The retail hall was filled with grief, and many people felt like they had lost their parents!

Ai Yiyi stared at the last order with wide eyes, and sat back in the armchair dejectedly, feeling weak and tired as if he was dehydrated. He didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. The other two traders were equally exhausted, not because they sat in front of the computer all day, but because they were so nervous and had to bear the pressure of going against the market.

Wen Liang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I will improve everyone's life tonight. Eat and drink enough and have a good rest. The market will be closed for the next two days. Regain your energy and prepare for a big fight next Monday!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wen!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated. Wen Liang gave the veteran who had decisively cut Zhou Wei's jaw a thousand yuan and asked him to go out and buy some wine and food, and then he left with Ning Xi.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhu Zixuan was planning the renovation with people. Several girls including Smoky Makeup were there. When they saw Wen Liang, they smiled and nodded. Their attitude was much better than last time. Only Smoky Makeup was still angry. She glared at him and turned her head away, as if she didn't mind him.

Zhu Zixuan saw Ning Xi running over and said proudly, "Sister Xi, you're here. Come and take a look at the renderings of my new design."

Ning Xi was pulled forward a few steps by her, turned her head and smiled at Wen Liang, "Let's go together?"

Zhu Zixuan snorted, "Don't let him go! What's the point of a heartless person going there?"

Zhu Zixuan had not spoken to Wen Liang since he moved out of the courtyard, so of course he would not make things boring for himself, so he said, "You guys go ahead, Brother Lei will be here soon, I'll go wait for him in the house first!"

Baidu followed in and brought Wen Liang a cup of tea. She smiled and said, "Miss Zhu has almost calmed down these days. When she first mentioned Young Master Wen... Hehe, but today I accidentally heard her talking to herself, saying something like "you are heartless and you didn't even come back to visit me after you left." Young Master Wen, you should go and comfort her.

Wen Liang drank a sip of tea and smiled at Du Niang without saying anything. Du Niang was such a smart person that she immediately realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said. She twitched her lips slightly and said with a smile, "I am nosy, don't take it as an offense, Master Wen. I will never do that again in the future."

Wen Liang put down the cup and looked out the window. Not far away, Zhu Zixuan was talking excitedly to Ning Xi. He whispered, "Baidu, I treat you as my sister, so I won't be polite with you. You must remember one thing, Miss Zhu and I are just ordinary friends. If we get along, we come together, and if we don't, we go. Don't say those ambiguous words, understand?"

Du Niang nodded solemnly. At this time, Lei Fang's laughter came from outside, and she hurriedly said, "I'll go and bring Young Master Lei in."

Lei Fang hadn't shown up for a day, but now he looked refreshed. I wonder if he had done some business somewhere. Wen Liang stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Lei, we were scared out of our wits by the stock market today, but you are so lucky that you can enjoy yourself..."

"Haha, with you and Sister Xi here, I don't know anything and would just cause trouble for you guys if I went," Lei Fang said with a look of joy in his eyes that he couldn't hide, "But you're right, brother. I owed someone a big favor today. I'm going to laugh when I think about the benefits in the future!"

Wen Liang had already witnessed Lei Fang's delicacy and scheming on his first day in the capital. The fact that he could speak so freely like this showed that this favor was indeed too great.

Wen Liang wasn't stupid enough to ask who he had sold the favor to, so he said, "Then congratulations, Brother Lei!"

The courtyard was bustling again in the evening. Ning Xi kicked Wen Liang under the table. Wen Liang was just concerned about Lei Fang and didn't want the fight between the two to appear so ambiguous, especially not to be talked about by others. He didn't really intend to part ways with Zhu Zixuan. Besides, she was angry with good intentions, just thinking that she was too distant. Wen Liang stood up and punished himself with three glasses of wine, and reconciled with Zhu Zixuan. The little girl had no other thoughts, and forgave him with a wave of her hand, and then chattered about the club. Wen Liang didn't expect that the girl with smoky makeup was actually a famous architectural designer in Beijing. Zhu Zixuan's extremely imaginative and artistic renderings were made by her. It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

After discussing for a long time, everyone felt that everything was ready and they were just waiting for the grand opening. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Have you thought of a name? If not, I'll suggest one. How about Xiang Xie Ju?"

"Champs-Elysees?"

The more Zhu Zixuan thought about it, the better it seemed. He clapped his hands and said, "This is it, Xiangxieju!"
