After returning to the hotel, Chang Cheng went back to his room to rest. Wen Liang went to the girls' room next door, knocked on the door and waited for a while. Ji Su's clear voice rang out from inside: "I'm here!"
After opening the door, Ji Su saw Wen Liang standing in front of him. A sweet smile spread across his face and he asked, "You're back so soon? Where's Yaoyao?"
She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with Doraemon printed on it, and a pair of beautiful legs as crystal clear as jade under her black hot pants. She gently tapped her toes, held the door frame with both hands, and leaned half of her body out to look at the corridor behind Wen Liang, wanting to see if Xu Yao had returned.
At this moment, the two of them were very close to each other. The girl's soft skin almost touched the gentle shoulder. The black hair scattered on the side of her head swayed slightly as her body tilted. The fragrance of orchid filled the nose, making people's heart beat faster.
Wen Liang seldom saw Ji Su dressed so coolly, and was stunned for a moment. Before he could reply, Ji Su perhaps felt that this posture was very sexy. Her face turned red, and she tried to shrink back hastily, but her slippers slipped, and she fell forward involuntarily.
Wen Liang was quick to move and he put his arms around her slender waist from both sides. The thin shirt could not hide the tenderness and smoothness of her waist. Then he steadied his body and held her tightly in his arms, preventing the tragedy of them falling at the same time.
"Be careful!"
A gentle and soft voice rang in Ji Su's ears, and his heart trembled violently. Then his neck began to feel hot. The roots of his ears, the corners of his forehead, and even his eyes seemed to be burned by layer after layer of heat waves. His beautiful and delicate face was like white clouds stained with the color of rouge, mixed with shyness and a touch of moving brightness.
When Wen Liang let go of his hand, Ji Su stood up straight, gathered the hair on his forehead, and tried hard to suppress the strange feeling of reluctance in his heart, and said, "Yaoyao didn't come back?"
"Yaoyao and her brother are going shopping, so they may be back late." As they talked, the two of them entered the house. Wen Liang smiled at Ji Su and said, "Are you bored being alone in the hotel today?"
Ji Su was a straightforward person. He had recovered from the accident in a short while. He smiled and said, "No, Sister Shen Jia found me a DVD player and many tapes. I had a lot of fun watching them..."
"Oh, what are you watching?" Wen Liang then noticed that there were a dozen or so videotapes placed next to the TV in the living room. He walked over and flipped through them. "The English Patient", "Comrades: Almost a Love Story", "The Rock", "The God of Cookery", "The Adventurers", etc., were all popular movies released in 1996 and 1997. The genres ranged from comedy, romance, suspense to action. It also showed Shen Jia's meticulousness from another perspective.
Hearing Wen Liang's question, Ji Su felt a little embarrassed and said, "I just finished watching Young and Dangerous..."
Wen Liang turned his head in surprise. He didn't think much about it. He just felt a little curious that Ji Su would watch a movie like "Young and Dangerous" given her personality. However, under his gaze, Ji Su looked like a child caught stealing, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, there were too many fighting scenes in "Young and Dangerous", and too many foul language that girls shouldn't hear. For her, who followed the rules and was not a fan of movies, it was already a new and unprecedented experience.
"Young and Dangerous is a pretty good movie. There's nothing wrong with watching it." Wen Liang certainly didn't think it was a heinous crime for girls to watch this. Compared to those girls in later generations who could talk about ***** very knowledgeably, Young and Dangerous shouldn't be too pure.
In order to avoid making Ji Su feel embarrassed and to kill time, Wen Liang picked out a videotape, shook it at Ji Su, and said, "Let's watch it together?"
"Okay," Ji Su came over to take a look and read the words on it: "Roman... Holiday?"
"Well, have you seen it?"
"No, does it look good?"
Wen Lian did not comment, put the disc into the VCD, and said with a smile: "Whether it is good or not, you have to watch it to know."
"Roman Holiday" tells a very ordinary yet classic story, creating two very down-to-earth yet stunning characters, making both Hepburn and Peck famous, and also making the youth of countless fans reminisce and sigh with emotion.
As expected, Ji Su was completely immersed in the plot of the movie from the excitement of watching the movie with Wen Liang. She was worried when Princess Anne fell asleep on the bench. When Pike's hand was bitten off by the Mouth of Truth, she screamed with Anne, and then laughed at the same prank. In the end, the difference in identity and status separated the two lovers. Under the questioning of many reporters, Anne went against the official answer provided by the attendants, looked into Pike's eyes and said:
I have traveled to many cities, each with its own merits, but my favorite is still Rome!
The ancient capital of Rome witnessed romance and love!
Ji Su sat blankly on the sofa, hugging a small white pillow, his eyes had become moist unconsciously. There were no earth-shaking vows, no life-and-death ordeals, only a faint sense of timelessness and that faint love.
But it is so deep and so heavy!
If you really love someone, can you be like Anne, not forcing the relationship to last forever, but only caring about having it once
Wen Liang handed over a tissue. Ji Su seemed to have just woken up. He hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and explained: "I, I didn't cry, it's just..."
"Is it just the wind that blew my eyes?"
Ji Su burst into a smile, and it took him a while to free himself from the mood created by the movie. He let out a long breath and said, "I didn't expect that a black and white movie could be shot so well."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "This just proves a point. A truly good movie is never about showing off or piling up scenes. It's just a pity that there is only this one movie like this in all these years."
Just as there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, everyone has different standards in their hearts. But for Wen Liang, compared with "Titanic", which is known as a tear-jerking blockbuster and will be released at the end of 1997, this kind of love story is what he likes, cares about and appreciates!
True love once is enough,
A truly good movie, one is enough!
“I want to bring this film back…”
"No need, they are also sold in Qingzhou..."
"No, I want this, it has a different meaning!"
Wen Liang shook his head, feeling helpless about the girl's little thoughts, and said, "Okay, I'll tell Shen Jia, and if she doesn't agree, I'll help you steal it."
"How could...Sister Shen Jia is such a good person..."
After talking to Ji Su for a while, Wen Liang asked her to rest first, and then left to the 17th floor. When he opened the door, he saw Ning Xiaoning sitting upright at the table, staring at the computer screen intently, listening to Ai Yiyi explaining the knowledge of futures operations to her in his spare time. Shen Jia stood behind the two of them with his hands behind his back, occasionally interjecting a few words, but he was able to hit the nail on the head and get to the point.
Hearing the sound of the door, the three of them turned their heads at the same time. Seeing that it was Wen Liang, Ai Yiyi stood up quickly and called out "Boss Wen!" together with Shen Jia.
Wen Liang nodded and smiled, "Did Xiao Ning cause any trouble for you?"
Ai Yiyi said, "No, no, Miss Ning is very talented. If she is willing to work in this field, there will be no place for me to work in the future."
Ning Xiaoning looked at Wen Liang with sidelong glances, and her small chest couldn't help but straighten out, as if to say, did you hear that? You are very talented... But Wen Liang ignored her, turned his head to look at Shen Jia, and said, "I haven't thanked Miss Shen for finding the video for Ji Su yet. She was very happy watching it."
"Mr. Wen, you're too polite. Just call me Shen Jia. I don't know what classmate Ji likes, so I took some of each type. It would be great if she likes it." Shen Jia smiled and pointed to the small conference room next to him, saying, "The lady is in there. Do you want me to notify her?"
"No need, I can go there by myself." Wen Liang took two steps and turned back to say, "By the way, Ji Su really likes a movie in that pile of DVDs. Let me ask if I can take the DVD away?"
"Of course, if necessary, I can find a brand new unopened one..."
"A brand new one is not necessary. Thank you, Miss Shen."
As they were talking, three people walked out of the conference room: Ning Xi, Christie, and Du Mingyang. Ning Xi walked in front, and when she saw Wen Liang, she said solemnly, "You came at the right time. The Thai baht exchange rate took a sharp turn for the worse today. Mr. Du and Mr. Christie have different opinions on the current situation. I also want to hear your opinion."
The so-called sharp drop in the Thai baht exchange rate came after the Bank of Thailand announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system pegged to the US dollar. Within just a few days, the Thai baht exchange rate in the Singapore International Currency Trading Market continued to plummet with the momentum of a galaxy falling straight from the sky. As of today, the decline has reached 7%. Combined with the short positions that Ning Xi and their hedge fund had established in advance, if the settlement is made at this time, plus the profits from closing the positions a few days ago, the total profit will be around 80 million US dollars.
To deliver, or not to deliver
Du Mingyang believes that the Thai baht has hit bottom. From the day the Thai government gave up resistance, it was decided that this would be a game of sharks swallowing shrimps. However, as a small fish following the big sharks in the world, how many shrimps you can swallow depends on your stomach and your courage.
Du Mingyang believes that, with the capacity of the hedge fund they own, although they have not yet eaten their fill, it is time to leave. Otherwise, once the Thai baht rebounds against the US dollar, the current income will shrink several times for every rebound. It is better to close the Thai baht position and then look for the next target that may become the target of attack. When the international hot money turns around, it will repeat the feast of devouring the Thai baht.
But Christie holds a different view. After analyzing a large amount of data, he believes that the Thai baht will experience several waves of major shocks and the exchange rate will inevitably continue to fall. It would be too hasty to close the position and leave the market at this time. If you miss the treasure mountain, you will regret it.
Wen Liang was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think?"
Ning Xi said without hesitation, "I support Christie's opinion."
Wen Liang was silent for a while, and said: "I think Mr. Du's view is more stable..." (To be continued)
