Chapter 328: Coincidentally meeting classmates!

"Li Li!" Su Yu saw the person coming clearly and laughed, "What a coincidence, why are you alone?"

"My husband has parked the car." Li Li responded. While helping Su Yu get things, she continued to ask, "Are you planning to visit Li Meng's house?"

Seeing her eagerness to help, Su Yu couldn't help but thank her.

He took the words and said, "No problem, I bought this for my parents!"

"Oh!" Li Li understood and chuckled, "I thought you two were married. Hey... I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've already driven a BMW. This car costs at least 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, right?"

Su Yu threw the clothes bag and various nutrition gift boxes in the trunk and said, "This is my sister's car, not mine!"

"Oh!" Li Li responded again without asking any more questions.

It just seemed like Su Yu was a little different from the last time they met at his wedding.

"By the way..." Li Li remembered something, "Today at noon, we will have a high school reunion at the Jiangling Hotel. Did you know?"

"I don't know about that," Su Yu replied.

"Didn't you read the news in the classmate group?" Li Li asked again.

Su Yu thought for a moment. After being chased crazily by investors from all walks of life in the financial market for his seat on the 'Fortune Road', he had already been bombarded by classmates and chat groups on chat software due to the constant bombardment of messages. Having blocked the message for a long time, I couldn’t help but reply: “Maybe I didn’t pay attention!”

"Then no one called to inform you?" Li Li continued to ask.

Su Yu thought about his address book. Most people really couldn't call in. He smiled and said, "Maybe I've been too busy with work recently and haven't paid attention to it!"

"Oh!" Li Li responded, and then said, "That's okay. Since we have met now, let's go together!"

Su Yu wanted to have a classmate association, but in the years after graduation, classmates who had done well organized themselves to show off their superiority. In fact, it was meaningless. He was about to refuse, but saw Li Li continue: "I heard that The monitor also invited Teacher Hu and our head teacher, Teacher Li."

"Teacher Hu?" Su Yu thought of the Chinese teacher at that time and asked, "Is his illness getting better?"

Su Yu remembered that during the National Day, Li Meng once told him that Teacher Hu was diagnosed with lung cancer, and that he also asked his sister to visit him and gave him 100,000 yuan as a gift.

"It should be... better!" Li Li said.

"Then you have to go and take a look." Su Yu said.

There are some people who, when they meet once, lose one thing. This teacher Hu was very kind to him when he was a student, and he also taught his sister. He can be regarded as one of his most respected mentors, and lung cancer is something that even if it is discovered, It was the middle stage, and in his opinion, the hope of cure was probably very slim.

So, now that I'm here and I know the news, it's better to go and take a look.

At least, you don't have to leave any regrets to yourself.

With that said, he turned back to the mall, wanting to buy some gifts for the two teachers. After all, after so many years since graduation, he had never visited his mentor.

Seeing Su Yu turn around and enter the mall again, Li Li smiled, knowing what he was thinking.

So, I followed him, thinking about buying some gifts for the teachers as well.

Su Yu picked two affordable items in the mall, and then swiped his card to pay. Li Li watched from the side as Su Yu swiped his card without batting an eye at the two items, which cost more than 10,000 yuan in total. He didn't care at all, and his heart was more and more shocked, feeling that this classmate of his was really not simple.

Later, when the two walked out of the mall again, Li Li's husband Wang Yiqun finally parked the car and rushed over.

Wang Yiqun was no stranger to Su Yu. After all, they had met him at the wedding. Later, when Su Yu was choosing a store for his sister, he also rented their shop. So when he saw that he hesitated a little, he stretched out to Su Yu. He took action and said with a smile: "Brother Su, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you!" Su Yu smiled and nodded.

"We haven't seen you for half a year, are brothers Su still trading in the stock market?" Wang Yiqun remembered that Su Yu was engaged in the financial industry, "It seems that the stock market is not very good now!"

Su Yu smiled and said: "The stock market is indeed not very good, but fortunately... it's still passable."

"Brother Su is a master." Wang Yiqun said with a smile, "I made a small profit in the stock market for a period of time last year, but in the past two or three months, I lost everything. Otherwise... I have time, Su My brother helped me analyze the stocks I hold, and I feel that stock trading should not be bought blindly."

"You still have to be optimistic about stocks before you can hold them." Su Yu said, "No matter how much others analyze, it doesn't mean much."

Wang Yiqun thought for a while and felt that what Su Yu said did make sense.

He nodded and continued: "It's true, there was once a stock that I heard someone else buy. After I bought it, the stock price fell by 10%, so I sold it. Unexpectedly, the stock price doubled again later, which made I regretted it endlessly, but then I listened to others again and held it without selling it. As a result, the price continued to fall, and I was robbed of more than 20%, so I just cut the meat and sold it. Alas... As expected, cognition determines profit and loss, which is the true principle. ah!"

"Brother Wang, just understand!" Su Yu said with a smile, "In this world, no matter what industry you are in, money is not that easy to make, let alone the methods of making money taught by others. There is no guide to guaranteed profits in the stock market, so naturally There is no so-called stock god. Instead of listening to other people’s advice, it is better to improve your own abilities in stock trading.”

When Wang Yiqun saw that Su Yu had talked about this, he naturally stopped asking him about stocks.

Instead, he turned the topic elsewhere.

At the same time, while the two were talking, the three of them had arrived at the Jiangling Hotel next to the central square of the county town.

After walking into the hotel, Li Li asked the front desk of the hotel, and then led Wang Yiqun and Su Yu to the banquet hall on the fourth floor.

Arrive at the banquet hall.

The three of them thought that the class reunion would be in a certain private room, and were about to ask the waiter.

When they went to see the two tables in the corner of the hall, they heard many familiar voices. Li Li and Su Yu followed the voices and saw many familiar high school classmates. Even though they were older, many of them had faces. There are also traces of the vicissitudes of social experience on his face, but his appearance has not changed much from his student days.

"Hey, Su Yu... you are a rare guest!"

Seeing Su Yu and Li Li approaching, someone in the crowd who had already arrived cheered: "I thought you wouldn't come because you made a fortune in a big city."

"How can I make a fortune?" Su Yu responded with a smile.

Then he walked straight to the two teachers who had obvious white hair on their heads, handed the gifts in their hands to them respectively, and said with a smile: "Teacher Hu, are you feeling better? Last time you were sick, I was busy with work. , I didn’t have time to see you. When I returned to Jiangling this time, I originally wanted to visit the two teachers’ homes, but later I heard that my classmates invited the two teachers to attend the class reunion, so I stopped by.”

"We haven't seen you for many years, and the teacher wants to see you too!" Teacher Hu said with a smile, "My illness is not serious. Oh, by the way, Xiao Su, last time I was in the hospital, you didn't arrive, but you asked me to My sister gave me a big red envelope, but the teacher can’t accept it. Hey... it was your teacher’s wife who received it at the time, and your sister secretly stuffed a red envelope and left. Your teacher’s wife and I only found out later.”

"I originally wanted to return the money to you..."

"But I have searched and searched, but I can't find any contact information for you, so this matter has been postponed until now."

"I saw you coming this time, just in time...after dinner, you go home with the teacher. The teacher has to return the money to you with his own hands."

Su Yu didn't expect that Teacher Hu didn't touch a cent of the money he gave him at that time. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "Teacher Hu, as a student, I understand the situation of you and your wife. My sister gave you the money." The red envelope should be the intention of us siblings. Since it is our intention, how can there be any reason to return it?"

"And, as far as the number of red envelopes..."

"To me now, it's not even a drop in the bucket."

"I hope I can help the teacher, and I also hope the teacher can accept our sister and brother's wishes."

"This won't work..." Teacher Hu insisted, "It's too much, it's really painful, and the teacher feels uneasy!"

Su Yu said with a smile: "My classmates and I are all classmates of the teacher. Since the teacher can accept their thoughts and help, he can naturally accept mine. The ancients did not often say, 'If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can benefit the world.' Is it? Your student has achieved some results now, and the teacher encounters difficulties. Naturally, I should help, so please don’t refuse if you ask the teacher."

"Old Hu!" As Su Yu was talking, his former class teacher Li couldn't help but persuade him, "Isn't it just a red envelope? You are sick, and it is reasonable for everyone to come see you and express their feelings. You Don't say anything about retreating or not. If you retreat, won't it chill Xiao Su's heart?"

"Old Li, you don't know about this, and I didn't tell you. It's really..." Teacher Hu explained, "Xiao Su's thoughts are too serious!"

The number of 100,000 may indeed be a drop in the bucket for Su Yu.

But for his current family situation, it is a really large number, so the perception is naturally different.

"I know what Xiao Su is like." Teacher Li patted Teacher Hu's shoulder gently, "This child has always been very organized and well-organized in his studies and work. No matter how big the red envelope is, you can feel free to accept it."

After saying that, Teacher Li began to look at the gift Su Yu gave him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, your wine... I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"

Su Yu knew that Mr. Li liked wine, so he just picked a bottle of the best Maotai in the store at the tobacco and alcohol counter in the mall.

"As long as the teacher likes it." Su Yu said with a smile, "The money your student can buy you a bottle of wine is not bad."

Teacher Li had a look of relief on his face and laughed loudly: "Yes, you are promising. Teacher knows that you will definitely be able to make your own way."

"Teacher Hu, Teacher Li, this is what I want." As Su Yu greeted the two teachers, Li Li also handed the two tea gift boxes in her hands to the two teachers and said with a smile, "Although it is not as good as Our classmate Su is precious, but also carefully selected by me. I wish both teachers a happy new year."

Teacher Li smiled and took the gift box from Li Li's hand, and said with a smile: "As a teacher, how can I dislike the students' thoughts? In the teacher's heart, you are all my children. As long as you have a future and live a good life, you and I will be together." Teacher Hu, I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

"Lao Hu, do you think so?" Teacher Li said, tilting his head and looking at Teacher Hu standing aside with a smile.

Teacher Hu nodded, feeling very comfortable at the moment, and said: "Although I am not your class teacher, I am in the same state of mind as Teacher Li. Hello, you are promising, and as your teachers, we will also benefit from it!" "

"Okay, everyone, please sit down!" Seeing everyone suddenly become silent, Teacher Li couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not a school anymore. Teacher Hu and I still want to listen to your chat, but we don't want you to talk because of us. The two of them have become very restrained here."

"Su Yu, are you still in Yuhang now?"

After a brief exchange of greetings, the place became lively again. A classmate who had a good relationship with Su Yu sat next to him and asked, "I heard from Yu Datou that you and Li Meng are together, and the two of you are together." Now we are still in the same company, and both are engaged in the financial industry, is it true? I heard that the financial industry has always made money, when will you take me with you!"

"Do you believe what Yu Datou said?" Su Yu looked at the classmate in front of him, "Li Meng and I are not together, don't spread rumors. As for saying that the financial industry makes money, this is also a fallacy. The financial market is not very good this year. Many financial companies and fund companies have gone bankrupt, and countless others have gone bankrupt."

"Oh, that's it!" the classmate exclaimed, "I thought you had finally found the goddess of our class, but I heard that when you two were in college, you were in the same school, with the same major, so It’s really strange that you haven’t done anything after so many years.”

"Oh, right……"

"Next year our engineering team should be stationed in a project in Yuhang."

"I'll ask you to go out for a drink then! After all, there is no shortage of beauties in the financial industry. When the time comes... you can also introduce one to me."

"Drinking is fine," Su Yu said. "As for beauties, I don't have the resources. I'm afraid I can't help."

"Hey, you are just too serious." The classmate sighed, "I'm just saying it casually, but it is said that there are many beauties in the financial industry. Is it true?"

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "That's true!"

"Damn it." The classmate couldn't help but uttered a curse word and said, "If I had known it, I would have studied finance with you, hell, studied civil engineering, and spent the whole year wandering around construction sites in the wilderness. , let alone beauties, it’s hard to even meet a woman, hey... These days of just hanging out make me want to change my career."

"Su Yu, you majored in finance, so you should be very proficient in stocks, right?" While the two were talking, another married classmate also came over and asked, "Can you give me guidance and guidance? I've been really losing money recently. .”

Su Yu replied: "I major in macroeconomic analysis, which is not related to stocks. And according to industry regulations, we can't just recommend stocks to others, so... Zhao Hao, I'm really sorry!"

"There are still such rules!" Zhao Hao was very surprised.

Su Yu nodded and said: "Practitioners are prohibited from trading in stocks or recommending stocks. This is considered a business rule."

Devour

"Oh, oh..." Zhao Hao responded, "In that case, forget it, pretend I didn't ask, but I think the bottle of wine you gave to Teacher Li costs at least four to five thousand yuan. You graduate In the past two years, we have developed well in Yuhang. I have always heard that the salary in the financial industry is very high. Is this true?"

Su Yu replied: "Compared to other industries, the average salary level is higher."

"No wonder." Zhao Hao said, "According to your always modest character, you think it's good. That's at least an annual salary of hundreds of thousands. You're awesome. When you were studying, you were one of the best in our class. After graduation, , as expected, this development is also one of the best among our classmates."

"Damn it, your annual salary is hundreds of thousands." The classmate who spoke before said in shock, "Su Yu, you are a real person and don't show your face!"

Zhao Hao said: "He Laosi, this is because you are ignorant. In the financial industry, especially the big financial companies in the industry, those with annual salaries of several million or tens of millions are common, and... if you are really capable, Making money in the financial market is really extremely profitable. Although I haven't been trading in stocks for a long time, I heard that there was an old man in the stock market last year who made hundreds of thousands of dollars all the way to hundreds of millions."

"It's not that exaggerated." Su Yu said, "In the financial industry, there are still very few people who can earn millions or tens of millions in annual salary. They are considered to be at the top of the pyramid."

"Oh, by the way, Zhao Hao..."

Su Yu glanced at the old classmate in front of him and continued: "I heard that you have passed the civil service examination and are working in the Jiangling Propaganda Department. It's not bad."

"Not only that, Zhao Laoer also got a beauty back in his arms." A classmate who was called He Laosi said, "I heard that his wife is the daughter of the deputy county magistrate. Zhao Laoer's official career will be smooth in the future. It is destined to rise to great heights and become a successful person."

"Really?" Su Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Boy, you can do it!"

Zhao Hao coughed lightly and said: "The daughter of the former deputy county magistrate, now my father-in-law has taken a back seat to the CPPCC position. To be honest, she can't help me much."

"That's very impressive." Su Yu said, "Work hard. With your ability, you will surely rise step by step on this road."

"Su Yu, this class reunion was organized by class monitor Yang Yeming." After a pause, He Laosi, who has always been a gossip, continued, "I heard that with the help of his family, he won the Apple Company in Chongqing. He became a partial agent in the state and opened many Apple stores. The business was booming and many students in the class defected to him."

"Moreover, he was the one who invited Teacher Hu and Teacher Li this time."

"He also said that he personally paid for all the expenses of the class reunion, and that's why so many students participated."

"I also heard that his original intention was to invite our beautiful lady Li, but it seems that the goddess of our class did not come this time, so his plan failed."

"Yang Yeming's family can actually win part of Apple's sales agency rights in Yuzhou?" Su Yu was a little surprised and couldn't help but praise, "It's amazing. In the past two years, smartphones and mobile phones have been upgraded. Apple In the domestic market, it can be said that it is alone in seeking defeat. If we can win its sales agency rights, it will be difficult not to make money!"

"Yang Yeming's parents used to sell mobile phones in Yuzhou." Zhao Hao said, "The family has been in business for so many years, and it is normal for them to have some connections and backgrounds."

"And our beautiful lady Li seems to be very close to Yang Yeming." He Laosi continued.

Su Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Li, who was gossiping and laughing in the crowd of girls not far away, and asked: "Fourth, are you talking about... Li Li?"

"That's right!" He Laosi said, "I have to say that Beauty Li has married a good husband!"

"You still envy people who marry based on their abilities?" Su Yu looked at He Laosi and smiled.

He Laosi replied: "It's not that I'm envious, I just think it's too easy for a woman to make a fortune. All she needs to do is find a good husband. Li Li got married on May Day last year. I heard you went, Su Yu ...You should be aware of her husband’s wealth, right? Is there really a rumored fortune of tens of millions?”

"I don't know how many millions it is," Su Yu said, "but his family should be well off."

As the time approached noon, more and more students arrived. According to their previous closeness in school, everyone gathered into several groups, gossiping and discussing the lives and work situations of their classmates. Of course... Sometimes you can hear the occasional envy and sighs among classmates.

Then, when the waiter put all the dishes together...

Everyone just sat down and divided into three tables, ending the discussion in their own small circles.

During the dinner, at the suggestion of class monitor Yang Yeming, everyone first toasted to the two teachers, and then talked about the friendship between classmates, discussed their respective situations, and lamented the past study time.

During this period, Su Yu was the student with the best academic performance in the class and was doing well now.

Naturally, it attracted toasts and conversations from many classmates, including several single girls from the previous class, who got close to Su Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, meeting him was a huge hit.

Yang Yeming, the squad leader who was the organizer of this class reunion, felt uncomfortable.

"Su Yu, which financial company in Yuhang are you working for now?" After drinking for three rounds, when everyone was talking, Yang Yeming began to deliberately talk to Su Yu, "I have a friend's brother. , I also work for a large securities company in Yuhang. I heard that not only will they not have performance bonuses this year, they will not even be able to pay out wages. I thought about the financial industry, isn’t it a high salary? It shouldn’t be so miserable, right? "

Su Yu smiled and replied: "The current financial market is not very good, but there should still be a very small number of financial companies that cannot pay wages."

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Hao answered from the side, "I heard that there is a financial company with a total of just over 100 people, but it gave out tens of millions of year-end bonuses. Just a few days ago, it was on the hot search list. Are you there? Hey, wife...what's the name of that financial company? I remember you also saw the news at that time."

Zhao Hao's wife stepped on him lightly under the table and said, "It seems to be called 'Yuhang Investment' or something. I can't remember clearly."

"It's 'Yuhang Investment'." Li Li's husband Wang Yiqun took over, "I usually trade stocks, so I have some superficial understanding of this aspect. The 'Yuhang Investment' company in the news seems to be It was only established last year, but even so, it is considered a very good financial company in the industry."

"and……"

Wang Yiqun paused and continued: "The best thing is not this company, but the fund products operated by this company. It seems that the fund products operated by them achieved 20 times the performance last year, but I I’m not familiar with the fund, I just heard about it and didn’t check it.”

"20 times the performance, doesn't it feel that great?" A classmate who didn't understand stocks muttered.

Wang Yiqun smiled, changed his narrative, and said, "I heard that the fund products that this company will operate have grown from hundreds of millions to tens of billions in half a year. As a new company, it can make profits in one year." Billions of billions, and our Jiangling County, you know, the total fiscal revenue for a year is only more than 3 billion. The profit of a company that has been established for less than a year exceeds the total fiscal revenue of our county. No, Cow?"

After his explanation...

Everyone at the table had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, the financial industry is really hugely profitable. How can a new company with more than 100 people earn so much in a year?"

"No wonder it became a hot search. No wonder the company's year-end bonuses are so huge. I heard that even new employees were given bonuses of hundreds of thousands by the boss."

"Hundreds of thousands? New employees? Such an exaggeration?"

"What an exaggeration? It's true. I saw it at the time and was envious of it."

"Can you not be envious? New employees can receive hundreds of thousands of bonuses. Hundreds of thousands, which is equivalent to almost ten years of my salary income."

"Why didn't I see this news? I have to search it quickly and take a look before talking!"

Amid everyone’s shocked discussion…

Yang Yeming coughed lightly, and then said: "Although I don't understand stocks or finance, there should be very few financial companies like this in the news, right? In fact... speaking of it, I still think that industry is safer, Making money in finance is quick, but losing money should also be quick, right?”

"Furthermore……"

"The annual salary of hundreds of thousands, bonuses and so on, is actually nothing."

"This year our sales company's annual sales have exceeded 50 million. Although the net profit is not high, it is still four to five million."

He deliberately mentioned the words "hundreds of thousands of annual salary", just to talk about Su Yu. The other students naturally heard it at this moment, thinking that it was probably Su Yu who had stolen Yang Yeming's limelight, and there were rumors that Su Yu He was relatively close to Yang Yeming's dream lover Li Meng, so he attacked her with words.

At the same time, this class reunion was organized by Yang Yeming, and it was also Yang Yeming who paid for it.

Therefore, even if someone heard the implication of Yang Yeming at this moment, no one took the initiative to refute Yang Yeming for Su Yu.
