Chapter 340 The First Official Meeting with Luo Yan's Mother
Chapter 340 The first official meeting with Luo Yan’s mother
Luo Yan chatted with the female student sitting next to her for a while, and after the simulated market returned to normal, the two began to trade U.S. stocks.
"Luo Yan, someone is looking for you!"
"Who?"
Not long after she started trading, she heard Liu Jiajia at the front desk of the company shouting that someone was looking for her. Luo Yan asked the female student next to her to help her check the trend of the stocks she had bought. Then she stood up from her chair and walked outside the US stock trading room.
.
"Who?"
Walking outside the US stock trading room, Luo Yan looked at the company's front desk Liu Jiajia and said with a smile:
"Sister Jia, who is looking for me?"
"It's your mother."
"my mother?"
"Well, she's in the small conference room next to her."
Liu Jiajia glanced at the small conference room next to her, then looked at Luo Yan and whispered:
"Go and have a look. Maybe there's something urgent. I think her face looks a little bad."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Jia!"
"You're welcome!"
Walking into the small conference room, she saw her mother sitting at the conference table. Luo Yan sat down opposite her, playing games on her mobile phone and said casually:
"What do you find me for?"
"Yanyan, it's been so many days. You haven't returned home, you haven't answered the phone, and you haven't studied hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Instead, you've come to work in small companies like this that are everywhere. What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I like to work, I like to make money to support myself, I don't like studying, I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"
Luo Yan said casually while playing mobile games.
"Okay, since you don't like studying and don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, mom won't force you to quit your job and I will help you find a better job. Do you want to intern at my law firm or do you want to
Go to your Uncle Wang’s art gallery for an internship?”
After saying that, before Luo Yan could answer, Wei Yunyan added:
"Or if you have any better plans, you can tell me. Mom knows some clients and you can ask them to help arrange it. Is there any particular job you want to do, or a company you want to join?"
"No, I think my current job is pretty good. I don't want to do anything else, nor do I want to go to any other company."
“What’s so good about this company?”
Seeing that Luo Yan did not agree to resign and leave her current company, Wei Yunyan frowned slightly and said:
"I asked people to investigate. This company claims to be a company, but in fact it is just like a temporary club formed by a group of stock enthusiasts. It is not formal at all. The contracts signed by the stock traders at the bottom are all agency contracts, which is not safe at all.
There is no guarantee.”
Having said this, Wei Yunyan looked at her daughter and continued to persuade:
"If you really like the investment industry, whether it's Pulling Capital, Blue Harvest Capital, or other fund companies, mom can help you arrange it. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's great. I just like this company now and don't want to go anywhere."
"you"
Seeing Luo Yan losing her temper like a child and playing games on her mobile phone, Wei Yunyan couldn't help but frown and said:
"Yanyan, mom is talking to you, can you stop playing with your phone?"
"You go ahead and I'm listening."
Looking up at her mother, Luo Yan put down her phone and said:
"By the way, I think Weishi Intelligent Technology is quite good. The company's chairman, Zhao Changming, also went to our school to give a speech. How about you help me arrange it and I go to the company to be his administrative secretary?"
"No, you are not suitable to be an administrative secretary!"
Hearing that his daughter wanted to work as an administrative secretary for Zhao Changming, Wei Yunyan refused with a slightly unnatural expression:
"Besides, you are a student who has not yet graduated from college and you are an administrative secretary to the chairman. How can your mother have that ability?"
"Yeah?"
Looking at her mother who looked a little unnatural, Luo Yan said directly:
"I know everything about what happened between you and Zhao Changming. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Yanyan, this is"
Seeing that his daughter knew about the affair between him and Zhao Changming, Wei Yunji finally understood why Luo Yan had not gone home to live during this period of time, hadn't studied hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and hadn't contacted him. For a moment, he felt
Wei Yunyan, who felt guilty and embarrassed, said awkwardly:
"This is an adult matter. It's very complicated. You don't quite understand it. I"
Before Wei Yunyan could finish what she said, looking at her mother who still didn't know how to admit her mistake and was still defending her, Luo Yan said in a calm voice:
"It's you who want to do the dirty things. Don't blame adults. You ruined other people's families. I just can't understand why you taught me how to be a human being and said these things to me. I would rather stay forever."
I won’t grow up, and I don’t want to be an adult like you!”
"Yanyan!"
Looking at her daughter who looked very angry, resentful, and blaming her at the same time, Wei Yunyan calmed down a little and said:
"There is only one person in this world who has no reason to accuse me, and that is you. I gave birth to you and raised you. I provided you with good food and drink. You are not young anymore. Luo Yan, you are twenty-two years old. You don't care."
Have you healed yourself?"
"I don't need your support!"
Seeing that her mother was arguing with her, Luo Yan stood up from her chair, took out her wallet, and threw the cash, bank cards, credit cards, membership cards, etc. on the conference table, while her voice trembled slightly,
He said with a hint of crying:
"I will return all the money and cards to you. I will never take care of you again, and please don't take care of me again in the future!"
"Yanyan, that's not what mom meant!"
Seeing his daughter like this, Wei Yunyan's eyes turned slightly red and he said:
"Yanyan, mom knows that she was wrong. It was mom who hurt you by saying things she shouldn't have said. Can you please forgive mom this time?"
"good!"
Looking at her mother, Luo Yan said directly:
"As long as you separate from Zhao Changming and never interact with each other again, I will forgive you. Can you do it?"
"I"
Looking at his daughter, Wei Yunlash said hesitantly:
"Yanyan, Zhao Changming is a big client of the law firm. We have been cooperating for more than 20 years, and our interests are tied together. We can't just break up. I promise that I will only talk about work with him in the future.
Let’s not talk about other things, okay?”
"We only talk about work and nothing else. Do you think this is possible?"
Looking at her mother, Luo Yan directly exposed her and said:
"There are so many outstanding lawyers in your law firm. Wouldn't it be great to arrange any lawyer to replace you? Or, for Zhao Changming, you, Barrister Wei Yunli, are irreplaceable. You are both his legal adviser and his lawyer.
His underground lover?"
"Yanyan, how can you say that about your mother?"
Looking at his daughter who spoke harshly, Wei Yunyan said with a very embarrassed expression.
"You can do it, why can't I say it?"
Looking at her mother who was still embarrassed, Luo Yan said directly:
"There is no airtight wall in this world. If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. I can know about you and Zhao Changming, and others will know about it sooner or later. When that day comes, what do you think?
Are there any consequences? Those people on the Internet, will they give you a chance to change your ways? You will be pointed out and nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of your life, do you know?"
"Yanyan, you."
"Have you ever thought about these consequences? Are you sure you can bear it?"
"Yanyan, me."
"When you were with Zhao Changming, did you ever think about his wife and children who were still at home waiting for him? Have you ever thought about me? If everyone knew that my mother was a mistress who destroyed other people's families, would you let me
what to do?"
With that said, before Wei Yunyan could speak, Luo Yan continued to say excitedly:
"My roommate Jiang Xiaoguo, her father cheated on her in marriage. What she hates most in her life are scumbag men and mistresses who destroy other people's families. If she knows that you are a mistress, how can I face her and talk about you and others?"
The mistress is different, isn’t it?”
After that, seeing her mother standing there speechless, Luo Yan left the small conference room directly.
Outside the small conference room, I heard that Luo Yan's mother was here. After solving the problem of whether the simulation disk could be bought or sold, Yuan Xudong decided to go over and have a look. Seeing Luo Yan running out with red eyes, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but expressed concern:
"Luo Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"fine!"
Seeing that it was Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile:
"How did you come?"
"I heard that aunt is here. I came over to say hello. Where is aunt?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yunyan walked out of the small conference room. She looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Hello, I am Luo Yan's mother. Are you Luo Yan's leader?"
"No, they are friends!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Wei Yunshi and smiled:
"Hello, aunt, Luo Yan and I go to the same university, majoring in computer science, and have not graduated yet. My name is Yuan Xudong, you can just call me Xiao Yuan!"
"good!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who seemed familiar to him, Wei Yunlash was slightly confused and said:
"Xiao Yuan, have we met somewhere?"
"Probably not, or maybe we met by chance in school?"
Yuan Xudong smiled, but what he was thinking about was that he and Liang Shuang were together at the Lanxi Boutique Hotel, and Wei Yunyan and Zhao Changming were together. As expected, those who go to the hotel to book a room in the middle of the night are not serious people.
I don’t know if Wei Yunshi really didn’t recognize Yuan Xudong. She looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Xiao Yuan, can I talk to you?"
"of course!"
After taking a look at Luo Yan, he knew that Wei Yunshi most likely wanted to talk to him about her. Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Auntie, please wait in the small conference room for a while, I will be there soon!"
"good!"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong and his daughter Luo Yan, Wei Yunlash walked into the small conference room again. Yuan Xudong chatted with Luo Yan for a few words, and then asked her to go back to trade US stocks. Yuan Xudong prepared two glasses of boiled water from the tea room next to him, and then left.
After entering the small conference room, he handed a cup of steaming boiled water to Luo Yan's mother's table and said with a smile:
"Auntie, the company doesn't have any good tea, and the coffee is instant. I can only serve you with boiled water."
"It's okay, I just like to drink boiled water for simple health maintenance!"
After taking a look at the steaming boiled water, Wei Yunyan looked at Yuan Xudong, who was sitting opposite him, and said straight to the point:
"Xiao Yuan, I'll get straight to the point, I hope you don't mind!"
"It's okay, I won't mind. I like to put it straight to the point. The world is so complicated because too many people make simple things complicated!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Wei Yunshi and smiled:
"Auntie, tell me, my greatest advantage is that I have a strong psychological endurance and I generally don't cry easily."
"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous."
Smiling, Wei Yunyan looked at Yuan Xudong and said directly:
"I hope you can help me persuade Luo Yan to leave your company. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the long-term development of your company, but as far as stock trading is concerned, your company's basic market is too small, and it cannot raise funds from the private sector.
, the future prospects are limited, far less potential than investment companies such as Pulling Capital and Blue Harvest Capital. Yanyan can’t waste time with you, can you help me?”
"Then I'll tell you the truth. I can't help you, or I don't want to!"
Seeing Wei Yunyan looking at him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"From the perspective of the amount of funds, our company is indeed not as good as the Pulling Capital or Blue Harvest Capital you mentioned, but the future development prospects are hard to say. The investment targets of our company are stocks, which are already listed companies, and
Pulling Capital and Blue Harvest Capital invest in entrepreneurial companies that have not yet been listed. After research, the former has lower risks and relatively smaller profits, while the latter has higher risks and greater profits after success.
Take Pulling Capital as an example. It is an emerging angel investment company. Due to the capital support behind it and the Internet dividends in the past two years, it has developed rapidly. President Zhou Xun is also called a gold medal investor in the industry.
, every project he invested in has made money, it’s just a matter of more or less, Auntie, what do you think of him?"
"A very capable and courageous young man!"
Smiling, Wei Yunyan looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Why, do you have any different opinions?"
"Yes, only young people understand young people, and only careerists understand careerists!"
Yuan Xudong also smiled and said:
"I have studied Zhou Xun and his investment experience. To summarize briefly, he has certain abilities and good luck, but he is not professional at all. His investment style can be said to be gambling investment, maybe.
In order to speed up the company's development, he only invests in the Internet industry, which is extremely risky, and all investments are large-scale. For the most recent investment, Mosaic Company was valued at 80 million, which is simply a waste of money. It is good to succeed, but 10,000
What if he fails? How many times does Pulling Capital’s wealth allow him to fail?”
Seeing what Wei Yunshi wanted to say, Yuan Xudong continued directly:
"Moreover, he is also an idealist, or a perfectionist, which makes people laugh. According to his investment trajectory, he has never experienced a single failure. If it were not for the good luck, he would not have known how much he had lost.
Where did it go? Each time I invested tens of millions or hundreds of millions of funds, and then received huge returns, I would invest in new projects with profits next time.
The essence of investment is to try and make mistakes many times. The overall profit is greater than the loss. Instead of succeeding every time and going all out every time, everyone knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Such a big profit will lead to losses.
The company went bankrupt, and I recently heard that Pulling Capital is investing several hundred million to build an unmanned supermarket.
I dare not say what the future will be like, but at least not now. It is impossible for unmanned supermarkets to succeed. If Zhou Xunzhen invests in this project, it will definitely fail in the end. The cash flow of Puling Capital is already tight, just like a
If the string is tightened, the final chain reaction is that either the capital behind it will continue to inject capital, or it will go bankrupt!"
"Why can't it succeed?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong talking eloquently, Wei Yunshi disagreed and said:
"I think unmanned supermarkets are very good and very convenient!"
"It's just a temporary novelty, it's all a pie created by entrepreneurs for investors!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's okay to hype up the concept, but when it comes to reality, unmanned supermarkets can't really be unmanned. At most, they can save some salespeople and cashiers. Human resources in China are so cheap, and the wages saved in these positions are enough to pay for those high-tech
Technology bill?
Besides, unmanned supermarkets are different from vending machines on the street. The vending machines only sell some mineral water, drinks and other products that basically do not cause disputes about returns and exchanges. However, unmanned supermarkets are essentially still supermarkets. When shopping, consumers
A series of needs and questions will inevitably arise, which require recommendations and answers from shopping guides and salespeople. Unmanned supermarkets obviously cannot meet this requirement.
Finally, don’t overestimate human nature. If there is no one to manage it and it’s just a surveillance camera, will everyone abide by the rules? As long as there is the first person who breaks the rules, there will be a second and third one behind.
Everyone knows that the law is not punishable, right?"
"Okay, even if what you say makes sense, then your company is better than other companies?"
"Of course not. Our company also has a fatal flaw. The ability to resist risks is too low. If we encounter a stock market crash that sweeps the world, it will be bankrupt sooner or later!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"So after I made my first pot of gold, I bought some real estate, treasury bonds, and stocks of the four major banks. These are the financial pillars of our country. I can't say they are 100% safe. In fact, they are almost the same. Even if they are not
One day the company goes bankrupt, and the annual income generated by these assets is enough for me to be financially free. This means that the motherland is with me."
"just kidding!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Yan's mother and smiled:
"Actually, Luo Yan has some social phobia. She will be very shy in front of strangers and even be speechless, so she is not suitable for sales-related jobs.
Both Pulling Capital and Blue Harvest Capital need to interact and communicate with many people, so I will not help you persuade Luo Yan to take a job that she doesn't like.
Although most people work for money, you are so great, Auntie, and the money you earn is enough for Luo Yan to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Why can't you let her do what she likes?
Does it have to be a job that makes a lot of money to be a good job? Now that you have achieved financial freedom, is it still necessary to force yourself to do things you don’t like for the sake of money?
Auntie, just let Luo Yan stay in our company for a trial period of half a year. Luo Yan is still young. Trying things right will bring you growth, and trying things wrong will bring you youth. What do you think?"
"Okay, let her try it!"
After glancing at Yuan Xudong, Wei Yunlash pushed the cash and various cards dropped by Luo Yan on the conference table to Yuan Xudong and said:
"Xiao Yuan, these all belong to Luo Yan. Can you please help me transfer them to her?"
"OK!"
After collecting all the cash and cards on the table, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I really envy Luo Yan. She has so much pocket money. My previous living expenses were 600 per month. How pitiful!"
"That's quite pitiful!"
Looking at the funny Yuan Xudong, Wei Yunyan smiled and said:
"If you don't mind, half of Luo Yan's pocket money belongs to you, do you want it?"
