Now that she has a tool by her side, she feels like she has become a princess.
I still feel very comfortable.
However, today when she took him to walk with Li Yuhua and Li Yuhua, jealousy once again filled her heart.
#52 It’s better to have no details
When they were dating yesterday, Mo Bingbing felt that Xu Haobo was "okay". She would take the initiative to help him carry things, protect him by blocking the passengers around him when they were riding the subway, and move her to the inside of the sidewalk when they were walking on the road.
But today, seeing Wu An and Li Yuhua being so affectionate with each other, he felt that he had lost again.
There was nothing wrong with the "little details" that Xu Haobo did to take care of her on the road, but Mo Bingbing felt that he was insincere.
——The word "insincere" is not accurate. In Mo Bingbing's opinion, the "little details" that Xu Haobo did were actions based on "what details boys and girls should pay attention to when going out on a date."
Just acting.
Try your best to show that you care about her.
But Mo Bingbing was not moved, and even felt that they were acting like clowns.
In comparison, Wu An has no rules at all.
When they were walking on the road, instead of "protecting his girlfriend to the inside of the crosswalk", the two of them just walked hand in hand casually on the road. Wu An had a blank expression on his face, and Li Yuhua smiled sweetly, as if they were talking about something strange.
Wu An would also take out a thermos from his backpack, unscrew the cap and hand it to the girl next to him, and then the two of them would look at each other and smile, sharing the bottle of water together.
The way these two people look is so undisciplined, not at all pretentious, and they have completely abandoned all those rules and regulations. They just look like they are in normal and enviable love.
Look at Xu Haobo again, he has nothing.
He was acting, and Mo Bingbing was also acting, and they tried their best to act happy.
But happiness cannot be acted out.
Xu Haobo always felt that something was wrong with Mo Bingbing, but he didn't dare to ask why.
The two of them performed stiffly to each other, and perhaps they looked very affectionate, but in fact one of them was unhappy, and the other was confused and at a loss.
……
I finally arrived at the mutton hotpot restaurant where we had agreed to meet.
Mo Bingbing booked a table in a small private room by the window that was separated by a screen. After all, it would not be good if others could hear what they were going to talk about.
The shabu-shabu restaurant is decorated in a full Chinese style and looks a bit luxurious.
There is a towering copper stove on each table, which is the pot for hot pot.
I don't know if it was because it was noon, but there weren't many people eating there. The waiter guided the four of them to sit down at the agreed seat.
Mr. Xu Haobo, who still didn't understand why his girlfriend was angry, diligently helped Mo Bingbing pack her coat, poured tea, and prepared the dishes.
Wu An over there was a little slow, as if he was imitating what Xu Haobo was doing, looking a little clumsy.
But Li Yuhua didn't mind and helped him sort out the clothes. The two of them looked very happy.
Mo Bingbing increasingly felt that she was following a servant rather than a boyfriend.
She tried hard to put on a charming smile, but in Xu Haobo's opinion, this smile was not loving at all.
It even made him a little confused.
Soon both parties sat down, Mo Bingbing ordered the dishes, and prepared to eat.
Since we are here to eat, let’s talk about food first.
Li Yuhua: "Why do you suddenly want to eat shabu-shabu?"
Mo Bingbing: "It's a specialty of Beijing. Brother Haobo said that shabu-shabu mutton is worth trying."
Wu An: "Is the shabu-shabu mutton hotpot in this restaurant delicious? I have seen other hotpot restaurants recommended by others, but I haven't tried them."
Mo Bingbing was embarrassed: "It's okay, it's okay, it looks pretty good."
Li Yuhua: "It was recommended by Mr. Xu. It should be very good."
Xu Haobo: "Ah, I just picked it randomly. I like this one, so there must be no problem."
"..."
After talking about the reasons for choosing the store, we got to know each other better.
For example, what major are you studying, where do you live, who do you know, are there any interesting things happening in school, etc.
Not to mention Wu An, Li Yuhua and Mo Bingbing’s majors, Wu An and Li Yuhua want to know more about Xu Haobo.
Because they felt that he would want to borrow money, and to borrow money, they had to understand the other party's background.
Before, Wu An and Li Yuhua had discussed privately "what to do if Mu Bingbing came to borrow money".
Wu An advocated not to lend money. Once money is lent out, the other party becomes the boss and it cannot be taken back.
However, Li Yuhua feels that it is necessary to first understand that if there is a legitimate reason for borrowing money, then the money can be borrowed, but it must be done within the legal framework of a sound loan system.
Wu An couldn't persuade Li Yuhua. Anyway, this young lady's family was rich, and lending her a few hundred thousand wouldn't affect him at all.
After a brief chat, Wu An and Li Yuhua knew:
This guy named Xu Haobo is a doctor, a very powerful doctor.
He received many scholarships in school, and worked with some very powerful financial teams to achieve impressive results.
When he was introduced, Mo Bingbing, who had always seemed to be forcing a smile, finally had a smug smile on her face.
When introducing Xu Haobo, he seemed to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Emphasize that he is a doctor.
A very talented PhD who studies finance and has a promising future.
At this point, he can instantly defeat Wu An, who has no achievements now and cannot even complete a meaningful program.
Wu An silently accepted the reality that his academic ability was not as good as others.
Indeed, she got the first place in the total score of the college entrance examination in Changhong No. 1 High School in South City, but in Beijing, a place where there are many hidden talents, her results are nothing.
Wu An felt that he had to work harder.
However, putting aside the setting of "losing to Mo Bingbing's boyfriend", based on what they are facing now, the two are more convinced that Mo Bingbing brought Xu Haobo to ask for money.
As he introduced before, he is a PhD in finance from Beijing University of Finance and Economics, but has not graduated yet and has no resources to engage in financial operations.
He said that he had worked with other seniors on trading and achieved many impressive results.
But here comes the point, he never conducted his own operations.
Wu An has some understanding of finance.
If you want to trade in the financial market, you need to have capital.
Sure enough, when they were almost full, Xu Haobo revealed his purpose.
"Student Wu An, student Li Yuhua, I think you can do some financial management." Xu Haobo suddenly sat up straight.
"You can leave your financial management to me. I can guarantee that you can get an annualized return of more than 10%. On this basis, you can get more income and dividends," he said.
Then I apologized: "I know it's a bit abrupt to say this all of a sudden, but Bingbing said I can ask you for it."
"As for me, I do want to practice trading, and I just happened to take this opportunity to help you with your financial management. I need some funds to try trading."
He sat upright, looking at the couple in front of him with his spectacled eyes.
As if he were a successful person.
Then, Wu An and Li Yuhua looked at each other.
#53 I listen to Wu An
This guy named Xu Haobo really came to borrow money.
To be precise, it seems more like he is asking for money.
It's like saying, "I have a very good project here, and you will lose a lot if you don't come and invest."
To be fair, the return on investment he proposed was very high, so high that it was tempting.
If you are an ordinary college student with no investment experience, you may be easily attracted by the returns he promises.
An annualized return of 10% means that if you invest yuan, you can get yuan in return after one year. If you have spare money and don't plan to use it, this return is actually quite good.
But... be careful.
Wu Anyou learned from the weird knowledge videos on small TV stations that investments with an annualized return of 10% are relatively high-risk investments, and the really attractive returns offered by various funds and brokerages are usually not achieved, and there is even a risk of loss.
Although Xu Haobo is a Ph.D. in finance from Beijing University of Finance and Economics, how can he guarantee that their returns will be a stable 10%?
Wu An gave Li Yuhua a rational look.
Li Yuhua expressed her understanding.
This 10% annualized return is not a particularly large amount for Li Yuhua. If this money is invested in his father's stable group company, he may get more returns.
If I were to invest this money, it would only be seen as a friendly favor.
Seeing Wu An and Li Yuhua looking at each other without showing any interest, Xu Haobo started the next round of sales.
"You have to think about it, this kind of income is quite high."
"If you have spare money and don't plan to use it, and leave it in the bank, it means you are wasting money and losing money."
"So, I still suggest that you two make some investments. I will help you manage your savings, and I will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."
"..."
He started selling again, introducing the importance and philosophy of investment. There were many concepts that sounded very high-end. Wu An and Li Yuhua had no idea about these financial terms and were stunned.
Perhaps because they couldn't understand, they felt a little bored. Wu An and Li Yuhua tried very hard to understand what he meant, but to no avail.
So while listening, Wu An started looking for off-field assistance.
He sent a message to Tang Xiyue, who was studying at the Central University of Finance and Economics. Although she was only a freshman now, she had already learned some financial knowledge in advance. When he hung out with her a few days ago, he saw her dealing with some funds, securities and the like.
She said she wanted to practice first to see if she had the ability to collect and analyze information on industry policies and institutions.
