In 2008, the end of July.
Everything was developing as expected, and the prices of CDS and other short-selling tools in Zhou Yuandai's hands rose sharply. By this time, Wall Street has even seen a large number of investment banks seeking to acquire CDS in the market for profit or hedging.
Such as Goldman Sachs. On the one hand, the pro-son of the Federal Reserve is still shamelessly selling CDO products everywhere, on the other hand, he has already purchased a large number of CDS in private.
However, Zhou Yuandai was not in a hurry.
One is because she is still looking forward to a better situation; the other is because the amount in her hand is too large. If it is resold as a whole, no one can eat it all at once, and the outflow in batches will only lower the overall market price. The loss outweighs the gain.
Perhaps because of her good mood, Xu Tingsheng regained the right to apply to go out.
Crossing the street, Xu Tingsheng walked into a Chinese restaurant, followed by two deaf-mute escorts, and a close friend of Zhou Yuandai who was neither deaf nor dumb, but kept absolutely silent except to monitor Xu Tingsheng.
Having gotten used to it, Xu Tingsheng sat down alone amidst some puzzled eyes, and ordered fried pork with chili, sauerkraut oil residue and rice.
The voice came from the wall-mounted TV behind him.
At the first sound, Xu Tingsheng's chopsticks stopped in the air...
He froze there.
"Memories are like a storyteller, with a tone full of local accents, jumping over puddles, bypassing small villages, and waiting for the fate to meet."
In the first sentence, I heard an extremely familiar voice, a little immature.
This song is "Little" written by Jay Chou in his previous life to Joey Yung, but this voice is definitely not Joey Yung's. Xu Tingsheng turned around, there were no people on the MV screen, and there were only scenes represented by sand paintings.
"Apple's Cen Xiyu's new album, but this song doesn't seem to be sung by Apple itself. But it's still very popular." A waiter passed by, saw Xu Tingsheng's expression focused and confused, and said something with the mentality of meeting a colleague.
Xu Tingsheng did not respond, and he was forbidden from any conversations that might convey information. Apple is a sensitive word for him, and the surveillance officer behind him has already tensed his nerves at this moment.
The song "Little" appeared in Joey Yung's album in July 2007, right
In this life, Xu Tingsheng naturally couldn't have noticed such a trivial matter before. He thought about it, since this song is now on Apple's album, the only explanation is that she also asked Jay Chou for a song, and it was very early, and then by chance, Jay Chou gave Joey Yung another song, and put The song "Little" was given to Apple.
Confusion and thinking are just a flash, because these are not important, what is important is the voice of singing, and the picture on the hanging TV.
It was Xiang Ning's voice, she sang:
"You make a city out of mud
Said that he would marry me in the future... "
In the MV screen, tall buildings appeared, including a modern tower in the middle...
Others may not be able to understand this picture, but for Xu Tingsheng, just one glance is enough... That is Ning Yuan.
Therefore, what Xiang Ning was singing was actually the city that Xu Tingsheng built for her, and the promise he had made to marry her.
The picture in my mind...
It was Ningyuan Consultation Day. The sixteen-year-old girl knocked on the door and said that she had guessed it, guessed why it was called Ningyuan, guessed why Ningyuan had a small waist, and guessed Xu Tingsheng behind Ningyuan. and his good intentions.
Also, it was the night when Xiaomanyao turned on the lights for the first time.
That day, seventeen-year-old Miss Xiang asked her uncle, "Do you like staying with me?"
"I like it." The uncle replied.
"Then shall we get married?"
"Yes."
"Is it sure?"
"Will."
"Well. I'll marry you."
"Okay. It's done."
"Yes. Xu Tingsheng, you must marry me. You must marry Xiao Xiang Ning. Because I have no way to marry someone else. Sometimes, when I am suddenly afraid that you will be snatched away by others, I try to think about it, but I really don't." Way. So, if you leave and don’t want me, I will always be alone. Even then, I will wait for you.”
That night, Xiaoman's waist was all over the city, and the crowd was like a tide, so she used a lot of strength to shout every sentence.
"Is she waiting for me to go back and marry her?" Xu Tingsheng thought.
The singing continued.
"How many times you turn around, how many times you pass through the door, you waste your youth
The little promise is still not stable
Little tears are still holding on
Childish lips, talking about parting
I have lived alone in my heart since then..."
The immature voice sang a section that was clearly distinguishable, and there was a choke hidden there, Xu Tingsheng seemed to be able to see that in the recording studio, Xiang Ning, who was wearing earphones, burst into tears.
"I'm looking for the person in that story
you are the indispensable part
you take a little nap under the tree
I waited foolishly when I was little..."
The picture stops at the back of a little girl who is watching alone... The expression of the sand painting makes everything a bit hazy.
Up to this point, the voice is still somewhat uncontrollable. And the post-production of the album is actually like this, keeping the most authentic state.
Where are the lyrics here? ... This is clearly Xiang Ning talking to Xu Tingsheng, saying: I am looking for you, you are an indispensable part... The little me is still foolishly waiting, waiting for you to come back.
For a year, except for the necessary performances, Xu Tingsheng tried his best to appear calm every day under Zhou Yuandai's supervision, but in fact, he longed so much to hear the little girl's voice and say a word to her.
Fourteen-year-old Xiang Ning suddenly appeared in his mind.
That little girl was rushing out of the big iron gate of the school gate with jumping steps... That day was the first time they met in this life, because of that side, Xu Tingsheng's rebirth began to be colorful, full of beauty and expectations .
His eyes were sore, even though he knew that his every move would be recorded, Xu Tingsheng still couldn't control his emotional breakdown and uncontrollable tears.
"I have lived alone in my heart ever since
We used to be small
…
I'm looking for the person in that story
you are the indispensable part
little people holding hands
Keep a little eternity. "
The singing stopped, and the sand paintings flowed one after another. In the end, except for the fingertips sliding, there was no sound... A figure of a little girl appeared on the screen. Slowly, a wedding dress was added to her body...but she was still waiting.
Not far from her, there were two other figures that were not so clear, standing and waiting.
Finally, at the bottom of the picture, a fingertip slid across... Xu Tingsheng recognized whose hand it was, and she wrote:
You said that you came to see me in two days, and the wait lasted for more than a year... It's okay, I will wait no matter how long.
…
Before asking to read it again, Xu Tingsheng was hurriedly brought back to Zhou Yuandai because of his reaction.
About ten minutes later, after listening to the report, Zhou Yuandai found Xu Tingsheng.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's really pitiful." Xu Tingsheng could clearly see the playful complacency in Zhou Yuandai's eyes and tone.
"I specifically found that song and listened to it. It's really good and very artistic." She continued, "My love is separated by mountains and seas... Unfortunately, you know what the next sentence is, right? Mountains and seas cannot be leveled."
