The coffee shop in the lobby on the first floor of the Pearl Hotel echoes soothing and beautiful piano melody, Beethoven's "Für Elise"... a simple tune that you never tire of listening to.
The floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on one side of the coffee shop is transparent and bright, and just outside the wall is the hotel's inner garden. Carefully planted flowers, plants and trees make the coffee shop quiet and elegant. It is obviously carefully laid out and designed.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were many people in the coffee shop. There was a sofa booth next to the window. Yang Chen was alone, flipping through the financial magazines he picked up from the newspaper column at the entrance of the coffee shop. His casual and loose clothes covered his strong muscle lines, slightly suppressing them.
A powerful aura stained with countless blood deposits.
"Sir, your tea." The waitress with exquisite makeup smiled and bent down to bring a pot of Longjing tea. When serving Yang Chen, her smile was particularly bright and charming.
If you have a good skin, you can indeed gain extra favor from the opposite sex.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, said thank you, behaved like an old aristocrat, impeccable, and then continued to flip through the magazine. The faint bean aroma of the fine Longjing tea evoked his memory of Hangzhou, but that was it.
My understanding of tea is far less profound than that of red wine.
The U.S. economy recovered and international gold prices fell.
The title of an article in a financial magazine attracted Yang Chen. He read it carefully. The article analyzed various reasons for the sharp decline in international gold prices in recent months. The author was probably afraid that his empty talk would not be enough, so he quoted countless experts' remarks to prove the validity of the analysis.
Correctness.
Another brick house.
Yang Chen couldn't help but smile after reading the article.
As a half-baked graduate of Ningbo University of Economics and Management who was once the king of absenteeism, Yang Chen questioned that this article, which can make countless professionals unable to find loopholes and has some academic value, is by no means a manifestation of overestimation, because the factors that drove the international gold price to fall
He is the mastermind behind this.
Tens of thousands of tons of gold from Devil's Island were shipped out one after another, and through YCV operations, flowed into the market silently through multiple channels, becoming the biggest driving force for the decline in international gold prices.
The gold planned to be liquidated is 6,000 tons.
At the current pace, it will be finished next year.
The decline in gold prices has just begun, but the best is yet to come.
"Why are you giggling?" Wu Rui's voice came from a few meters away. Yang Chen looked up and saw Wu Rui walking towards him with a smile. She was wearing a simple black dress and high heels. She looked noble, elegant, beautiful and charming. The men frequently looked back or simply
Staring intently.
No one could see the toughness beneath Wu Rui's beautiful appearance.
"It's fun to watch this..." Yang Chen smiled and raised the magazine in his hand. From Wu Rui, he could clearly feel the warmth and love of reunion after a long separation, nothing unusual.
Why did he reject the marriage despite the old man's earnest wishes... Could it be a joke? Yang Chen stared at Wu Rui, trying hard to catch any clues that could solve the puzzle.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?" Wu Rui bent down and sat down while touching her face, confused and a little at a loss.
"Have you encountered anything recently?" Yang Chen asked seriously.
Wu Rui shook his head and was very serious.
"Everything went smoothly?" Yang Chen continued to ask, and Wu Rui nodded.
"That's strange. I really can't think of a reason for your refusal to marry." Yang Chen simply expressed his doubts and drank tea slowly, waiting for the answer.
Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed slightly. This subtle change made Yang Chen on the opposite side conclude that Wu Rui had something on his mind, and he continued to stare at her calmly.
"Since you asked, I will tell you what I think. Not long ago, I heard about a girl who has loved you for many years and sacrificed a lot for you. Because she was disfigured and afraid that she was not worthy of you, she chose to stay away from you. I
I also heard that that girl threatened death for you and asked you to marry me." Wu Rui took a glass of water with lemon slices and took a sip, as if she had drank the strongest wine, her heart twitched and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Chen was surprised that some things were indeed hidden from Wu Rui. For example, Nalan Tongtong persuaded him to marry Wu Rui, but his original decision to marry Wu Rui was definitely not forced by Nalan Tongtong.
"Yang Chen, I know you love me, and my love for you has never changed. It remains the same now and will not change in the future, but..." Wu Rui took a deep breath, tears glistening in her eyes, hesitation and pain
Trouble intertwined on his face, and he finally made up his mind and said: "But I cannot accept Nalan Tongtong's gift. Compared with her generosity, I am too selfish and narrow-minded. She is the woman you should marry."
Yang Chen was speechless and could only smile bitterly.
"Really, I'm not joking. I made this decision after thinking about it for a long time." Wu Rui emphasized repeatedly, fearing that Yang Chen would misunderstand her for being too hot-tempered.
"Your grandfather..."
"Grandpa will understand me."
Wu Rui interrupted Yang Chen. As the most favored younger member of the huge Wu family, this girl had the confidence to convince her grandfather not to worry about her.
Yang Chen, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, hesitated to speak. He didn't know what to say, begging or scolding, but he couldn't do it, not to mention that Wu Rui really spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Some things cannot be forced.
Everyone has the right to choose. He respected Wu Rui's choice, sighed and asked, "I want to know, who told you?"
"Ye Fengyi's words of grievance for her daughter were spread by the Ye family and reached me. By the way, I want to tell you good news. It is said that Tongtong is recovering well. You should go see her. I have to go home to be with grandpa...
.." Wu Rui stood up as she spoke. It was just an excuse to accompany her grandfather. She was afraid that if she continued to sit down, she couldn't help crying. She took Yang Chen's hand and walked into the marriage hall. Her dream, but she broke her own.
How can a dream not be sad?
Yang Chen then stood up and wanted to grab Wu Rui, who was pretending to be calm. He felt that leaving the person behind at this time would only increase his sorrow, so it would be better to talk another day. After a moment's hesitation, Wu Rui had left the booth and walked away.
"Don't worry, I will always be your woman." Wu Rui, who walked about seven or eight meters and then turned around, smiled sweetly and sincerely. Then she left the cafe openly, walked out of the hotel, got into the car, and burst into tears.
……………………
Night falls.
The thousand-year-old capital shows its other side of enchantment.
Yang Chen walked out of the Pearl Hotel aimlessly and crossed Zhushikou Street. Liu Laogen's grand stage at the entrance of Qianmen East Road was filled with gongs and drums, and onlookers applauded from time to time.
Under the moonlight, the lonely and majestic figure remained unmoved and walked into the lively Qianmen Street with a touch of melancholy. Passing by a store, he suddenly heard an old song, which is rarely heard on the streets.
I have long suffered enough from the pain of love.
There are people everywhere who are lost in love.
And I'm not the last.
There are so many sad people, I should live bravely.
Don’t love, miss, and leave me alone.
Yang Chen stopped at the door of the store and listened to this "Single Love Song" which was very popular when he first entered junior high school. He felt helpless, emotional, self-deprecating, and finally relieved.
Li Nan, Wu Rui, Anna, Mei Ji, Nalan Tongtong, Shen Yue, Xiao Ruoshui, there are so many outstanding women who can't help but love him, what else is there to be sad about?
