Chapter 261 Peace Fruit It is relatively rare for the domestic stock market to hit the limit down at the opening. There must be a reason for this. Chen checked the relevant news and quickly found the source. It turned out that just over the weekend, the CEO of Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, told the media that due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, he may formally file for bankruptcy in federal court next year. You must know that in the financial market, confidence is more important than gold. As soon as this news came out, the already precarious European and American stock markets collapsed immediately. The domestic stock market was probably also affected as a result, with a limit down at the opening. So among the calls, there were some from Sister Deng Zhi. She must have been under much more pressure than Chen Zhuo recently, after all, she was the one who took the lead in publishing that article. Deng Zhi said to Chen Zhuo with emotion: "We may not need to be scolded soon." …… There was also Empress Dowager Mao. She told Chen that Aunt Guan Xiushu was so dumbfounded that she wondered why the stock market, which was doing well last week, suddenly collapsed today.

Chen thought to himself, what's the big deal? Bear Stearns was about to go bankrupt, and Aunt Guan, a "middle-aged stock investor" who never read economic news, had made two or three hundred thousand dollars purely by luck. This kind of money that is beyond your knowledge should be spent as it is earned. But Guan Xiushu was still a friend of Empress Dowager Mao. When Chen Zhuo was a child, Mao Xiaoqin took him to the hospital to play. She also bought snacks for Chen Zhuo, so he reminded him again: "Clear your positions immediately when the market opens tomorrow. It will be too late if you are late." This unconventional limit down is actually a signal that the A-share market cannot hold on. Whoever runs faster now will lose less. Those who cleared their positions at the highest point like Chen can be said to have made a perfect exit. …… There was also a call from Teacher Xia Huilan, who said worriedly that those stock investors were like crazy. Although they often came to harass me some time ago, they gradually seemed to have developed feelings for me and their tone was not as sharp and vicious as it was at the beginning. I don’t know what happened today, those unbearable swear words came back again. Chen Zhuo had anticipated this scene. These people took out all their anger over the loss of their wallets due to the A-share market's limit down on him. Their logic is simple - who asked you to predict that the stock market would definitely fall? If it weren't for your bad mouth, would this situation not have happened? Although it looks like impotent rage, this is the very real mentality of stock investors (gamblers). Chen Zhuo comforted Xia Huilan and told her not to take these remarks seriously and just handle it as usual. Xia Huilan could only nod and say yes, and said that six new colleagues had already arrived at the office, and asked the boss Chen to take some time to come and meet them. Teacher Xia expressed sympathy for these new colleagues in his words. After all, they had to rush to work at a time when they were being scolded, which was really stressful. But there was also a good side, as they could be considered to share the honor and disgrace of the company. …… Chen answered the calls he was supposed to answer, replied to the messages he was supposed to reply to, and continued attending Professor Zhang Yu's "Ideology and Politics Class". This large class on Monday morning was taken together with Song Shiwei's finance class, but Song Shiwei and his roommates sat closer to the front, while the boys were more accustomed to sitting at the back. After the two large classes on ideology and philosophy ended, Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei went to their respective classrooms to attend small classes. When they met at the stairs, they just looked at each other. No one went over to say hello. Instead, Cong Ni asked curiously, "Weiwei, how are you and Chenzhe spending tonight?"

One of these two people is a college student who is starting a business while on campus, and the other is a cool and aloof campus beauty. Cong Ni really wants to know how they spend Christmas Eve. Would you not be like those seniors and book a room in a nearby hotel? Song Shiwei walked on the road with a calm expression, her long ponytail hanging down to her waist swaying gently. Chen Zhuo had never talked to her about this, so she didn't know. Song Shiwei used to treat December 12 as an ordinary day. She might have spent it doing homework, memorizing words, or solving math problems. Of course, she didn't have any great feelings about it, as if she knew it was not her holiday. But since I was "in love" with Chen, I had a vague expectation in my heart. I hope that when I pass by a roadside store today, the song "Merry Christmas" playing on the speakers will have something to do with me. Of course, if Chen Zhuo felt that this holiday was meaningless and did not propose any special celebrations, or even said "Merry Christmas", Song Shiwei would not be angry, she would just forget about it, but she would no longer have any expectations for the next Christmas. However, on Cong Ni's side, after waiting for a while, she found that Song Shiwei still didn't answer, and Cong Ni suddenly became a little nervous. She thought Song Shiwei didn't like others asking about her private matters, and she couldn't help but regret that she spoke without thinking. However, Cong Ni was smarter, so she quickly ran after him and changed the subject in a flattering tone: "Weiwei, did you buy the apples?" "apple?" Song Shi was slightly stunned. "Yes." Cong Ni explained with great joy: "Sending apples on Christmas Eve is a blessing for the recipient to have peace and safety in the new year. You have forgotten it, otherwise I would definitely exchange apples with you. Now I can only ask Hua Xiaolan to exchange apples with me." Hua Xiaolan is also their roommate and is currently single. Song Shiwei finally understood the reason. She also remembered why she always received many apples in gift boxes on Christmas Eve when she was in junior high and high school. It was quite strange at the time, but I felt it had nothing to do with me, so I didn’t think much about it. I threw away a lot of them in junior high school, and they were all eaten by Mou Jiawen in high school. “Where did you buy the apples?” Song Shiwei asked. She had never given anyone a "peace apple" so she had no idea where to buy it. "There's a small supermarket downstairs from the dormitory." Cong Ni complained, "But the boss is a profiteer. Yesterday, an apple was only a few cents, but today he put a box on it and it became 10 yuan." “It has increased so many times?” Song Shiwei was a little surprised. "Who says it isn't?" Cong Ni sighed and said, "And you have to buy it early, otherwise it might be gone in the afternoon." Song Shi blinked slightly and suddenly smiled for no reason. Although her smile was not fully revealed, her clear eyes were like ripples on a lake, and there seemed to be a layer of starlight flowing between them. Her skin was as smooth as jade under the sunlight, with a gentle yet distant feeling, like ice water that had just melted on the top of a snowy mountain.

Warm and cool. Living together and attending classes together for half a semester, Cong Ni rarely saw the school beauty Song smile. She was stunned for a moment, then she became bolder: "Weiwei, what are you smiling at?" Song Shiwei didn't keep the secret, he gently put away his smile and said calmly: "I remember Chen Zhuo said that college students' money is the easiest to cheat." "Forehead……" Cong Ni felt as if she was despised, but she didn't dare to refute. Unexpectedly, after a while, Song Shiwei took the initiative to say: "When you go to buy apples, remember to call me." "Did not you say……" Cong Ni looked at her roommate in surprise. "I am also a college student and I can accept being deceived." Song Shiwei pursed his lips slightly, with a hint of liveliness. Cong Ni scratched her head in vain. She felt more and more that although Song Shiwei was still like an iceberg most of the time, she was obviously more down-to-earth than when she first started school. Is it because of the deepening relationship with Chen Zhe? …… (There is only one chapter today. I have to get up early tomorrow to speak at a meeting.) (End of this chapter)
