reprieve

Entering Blue Mountain Bay was a bit more tortuous than Sui Ran thought. After all, there was no invitation letter and no organizer staff to guide, and the decoration was incompatible with this place that seemed to want to keep the luxury low-key, but the texture was overwhelming.

Under the watchful eyes of the security guard, Sui Ran sat upright for a few minutes at the location indicated by the concierge, and saw Hai Cheng looking around from the elevator hall to the lobby while holding his mobile phone.She raised her hand to signal, but Haicheng didn't see it, so she had to send a message: "Left back, turn around [raise hand]"

She didn't let go until Haicheng's eyes turned.

"I don't even recognize you even if you're wearing a hat." Haicheng turned her face, and looked at her hat with a very low brim in surprise, and stretched out her hand to take it off, "Isn't it uncomfortable to cover it?"

"It's okay." Sui Ran blocked it, and then turned around to avoid it.

"Registration is required to enter." The hall is open and grand, and the guests whispered in whispers. Mr. Hai, who is usually quite good at bluffing, unconsciously lowered his voice, and led Sui Ran to the elevator hall. Access control," she pointed to the ceiling, "but it's no wonder, there are many big bosses flying from north to south. Jun Ting also came, Mr. Xi from the property management department, and Mr. Feng from the investment department."

"Her family's annual party is really... hard to describe," Haicheng chattered to share the experience of staying in it for two hours, "A venue is divided into four or five areas, and the atmosphere is not intended to be lively, each has its own theme, that is to say, the party is not Party, it looks like a forum, no matter where you go, you are discussing business plans, and the small goal of [-] million, I thought at least invite a few idols to perform performances or something, after staying for so long, there is no one, I am in It's almost suffocating inside. Fortunately, Mr. Xi and Mr. Feng are here, so we can still say a few words."

Sui Ran put one ear and listened to each sentence, as if listening to the background sound with the TV on while eating, even if it happened at the door of the house, because it had nothing to do with him through the screen, it didn't matter all directions.

She felt a little guilty, similar to a guilty conscience, and also like the uneasiness and agitation before starting an adventurous action.

"It's a coincidence that you came. When I came out, I heard the host said that the lottery draw was coming soon." Haicheng glanced at the phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "... I didn't seem to see Huai'an, so I knew her Flying solo, will she still come?"

Hearing Huai'an's name, Sui Ran's pace slowed down half a beat, gathering scattered thoughts.

Mr. Huai didn't come?

"Maybe I'll be late for a while, the plane is late. I have to clean up." Sui Ran said casually.

Huai'an mentioned it more than once at the Blue Mountain Bay's annual meeting, even after admitting that she had withdrawn from the decision-making level. She thought, no matter what, Mr. Huai was still the shareholder and founder of Yu'an, so it was impossible not to come.

Haicheng glanced at her, and asked with a strange expression: "Then why didn't you come with Mr. Huai, you're so sneaky, and asked me to find a side door to take you in?"

At that time, a person wearing a badge passed by, Sui Ran loosened his hat, let go of the damp heat on his head, and said directly: "I have a little conflict with Mr. Sang and Mr. Rui, and I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."

"You still come here for fear of embarrassment." Haicheng pouted disapprovingly, not taking her words at ease, "What conflicts can you have with them?"

Enough to form the contradiction of strangers.

The two bosses are definitely not the type of people who care about every detail. Besides, in the business field, encountering "betrayal" by people who are considered friends, intrigues should be quite common.Any time you show favor, you must be prepared to be used.

So whether it was Rui Lan or Mr. Sang, the gaffe on the day of the negotiation was precisely a sign that they once regarded Huai'an as "one of their own" and realized that was not the case.

Thinking of the two people's attitude of not wanting to say more than a polite word when signing the agreement, Sui Ran didn't explain too much, Haicheng didn't need to know some things.

Haicheng led her around the second floor, questioned several security guards, and finally entered the venue through a side door.

Slot to slot, the area that Haicheng led her into from the side door is really quite hidden, it seems to be specially used for talking to people, the elegant cabinets and booths separate this area from the main activity area, and the lighting is brighter. The other place is dim, creating a more private atmosphere, but it is not completely independent, and the home court and the stage can still be seen from the well-organized cabinets.

In fact, two young girls are chatting casually on the loveseat near the periphery. Even though one is wearing a strict professional suit, she looks too tender, like a freshly graduated intern, and the other is not so formal. Dark blue In a small dress, her gestures show a relaxed aura that has been experienced.A typical combination of a rookie in the workplace and a senior with education.

While the two were chatting, the girl in the little dress turned her head to look at the stage from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone to appear on stage.

Sure enough, Huaian came, just a few minutes later.

"Hi everyone, I'm back again."

Huai'an's relaxed opening remarks caused a burst of good-natured laughter, followed by applause from the audience.

"What are you doing? I heard that Huai'an quit and thought he had broken with Mr. Sang and Rui Lan. I was shocked, but he came back after a full circle. I heard that he was transferred from a general partner to a limited partner." Hai Cheng didn't know where to go. Nowhere wandered around, came back with a plate of fruit, and handed it to Sui Ran. Sui Ran didn't want it, so she picked a cherry tomato and stuffed it into her mouth, muttering, "Why are you so obsessed?"

The twists and turns couldn't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, Sui Ran focused most of his attention on the stage, so he just heard Hai Cheng's words.

Huai'an was obviously a heavyweight guest. She and Sang Enyue took the stage one after the other. With just one sentence, many people gathered from various regions to the central government.

Sui Ran had carefully observed that there were about a hundred people at the venue, excluding Yu'an's internal personnel, most of the guests at the scene were business partners, and most of them were representatives of companies that accepted Yu'an's investment.

It is impossible for these people not to care about whether changes in the decision-making level of the capital will affect the company's subsequent development.Huai'an's appearance at the annual meeting undoubtedly conveyed a signal. As for whether the signal is good or bad, it depends on the content of his speech.

Sui Ran moved two steps behind the pillar, hiding herself in the projection of the pillar.

The two girls who were talking on the sofa just now also walked out of the booth area and stood on the other side of the pillar. The young girl asked the same question as Haicheng.

Girl in a small dress: "I still don't understand. From a founding partner to a limited partner, you can engage in business that competes with the company. With Mr. Huai's change, she has no control over Yu'an, and only does what she wants to do. Projects, project profits, company dividends, risks she personally bears."

The young girl said ignorantly, "Ah, this..."

"There are very few individuals in China who invest as LPs (limited partners). Yu'an was originally co-founded by Mr. Sang, Mr. Rui and Mr. Huai. The three bosses have such a good relationship, and they never thought that such a day would come." The girl in a small dress said quite Wei sighed regretfully, "But there is no way, the family business has grown, and there are many people who are dictating, and there are many things that they can't control."

Sui Ran listened calmly, but Hai Cheng couldn't stay idle, walking back and forth between the two people who were talking, put the dinner plate back, and changed two glasses of drinks.

Perhaps noticing the presence of an outsider, the two girls looked at each other, then stopped talking with a tacit understanding, and quickly changed positions.

Sui Ran's mind was filled with only the last sentence "she bears the risk herself".

That's it, she thought.

"...The shift from the field of Internet technology to the field of medicine and health is due to the rapid development of the Internet field in recent years, and a mature ecosystem has been gradually established. The room for growth in the Internet field has reached a certain limit. Therefore, on the basis of ensuring the current layout, we It is necessary to find a new track with enough space, long-term investment and participation in the construction in a colorful investment environment. It is a bold attempt for Yu'an to get involved in the field of medicine and health. The trust and support of the industry, Huigang Group, and Liping..."

On the host stage, Huai'an talked about the key events that happened to Yu'an in the past year, but it was not a long speech. After about a minute and a half, she stopped.

"The front is the official guidance speech."

After Huai'an finished speaking, he smiled, raised his hand to indicate the direction of Sang Enyue and Rui Lan, then turned around, and gave them a slight nod.

Sang Enyue first gave her thumbs up, and then clapped her hands as if to give her encouragement, while Rui Lan raised her hands in praise. Both of them are extroverted, and they don't care about less formal behaviors in formal occasions at all.

When turning back again, Huai'an's expression was slightly more solemn than before, which meant that the task assigned by the government was completed, the guidance speech had been turned, and a new topic began.

“For a while—in fact, for quite a long time—I often wondered, what is our mission as investors and fund managers? When society transfers huge amounts of money directly or indirectly In our hands, what is our responsibility?"

"It is true that we should be responsible to investors, reduce risks, create high returns, and give investors a higher rate of return. But, what else?"

"Our participation in the capital game means to lead the innovation and development of one or even multiple industries to some extent. Then, in addition to benefits and returns, can we settle down and do a good job in a noisy environment that is constantly changing?"

"Choosing a new area of ​​therapy is one of the answers that we've groped for.... As you know, we did diverge as we explored."

Huai'an looked at the two friends again, and at this moment, Sang Enyue pushed Rui Lan, who quickly walked into the spotlight and gave her a hug. The two maintained an intimate gesture between friends for a few seconds. Rui Lan Holding her shoulders, he raised the microphone with her hand: "But our goals are the same, and this will not change."

Huai'an stretched his slightly frowning brows, and under the urging of Mr. Sang, he briefly introduced the plan for the new year and new business direction.

Under the spotlight, the brilliance is bright.

Sui Ran greedily looked at the shining person in the center of the stage, and watched with everyone present, listening to her vision for the future.

Huai'an's brief speech could not satisfy everyone's thirst for knowledge, and they were surrounded immediately after stepping off the stage.

Many guests made an appointment, as if they didn't want to let her go, they asked questions one after another, and she responded methodically, focusing her eyes on each person who asked the question.

Sui Ran chose the corner on purpose, without thinking of attracting President Huai's attention.She just stared intently, for too long, she felt like a voyeur, and was about to look away, but Huai'an looked here with a feeling.

The two people's eyes met briefly, Huai'an suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, the person next to her called her, but she turned her head and quickly made a "wait a moment" gesture.

Huai'an walked here in a hurry, and occasionally someone greeted her and wanted to say a few words to her, but she responded with a smile absent-mindedly, her eyes never moved away from the beginning to the end, covering the dark corner that Sui Ran intentionally concealed from beginning to end. looking at her.

The soothing music suddenly rushed in the few seconds when Huai'an approached her, and the party entered the next session. The host announced the start of the lottery draw intentionally to mobilize the atmosphere, and the voices were suddenly noisy.

Huai An held her almost eagerly: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Sui Ran raised the brim of his hat with one free hand, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

She looked behind Huaian.

Not everyone was waiting with bated breath for the result of the lottery draw. The group of people left behind by Huaian looked over in twos and threes, as if eagerly waiting for her to go back.

But Huaian never looked back.

His eyes never left her.

Sui Ran heard the beating of the heart, and some kind of emotion surged and clamored like a tidal wave.

As if the consciousness was withdrawn, the soul was hovering in the air, she leaned close to the other person's cheek, and lightly touched the person's red ears.

"If I want you, I will come."
