doomed in dream

Chen Jiuqi folded her hands behind her head and finally let out a sigh. She couldn't sleep that night in the dream and returned directly to the real day.

Compared with the small apartment in the dream, the bed at home is of course much more comfortable. Chen Jiuqi touched the mobile phone on the bedside table to check the time, and found that the time of waking up usually does not fluctuate much.

But what was different from before was that when Chen Jiuqi sat up, Qu Fengyang's breath was still swaying in Chen Jiuqi's mind, and he couldn't let go of it at will.

The most recent list is over, and her MD boss—

The investment bank pretentiously assigns him the title of managing director, but in fact, it can be understood as the general manager of a small department——

Before he could fully negotiate with the next client, Chen Jiuqi went to the company every day later, and he didn't bother to go to the company to pay for meals.

The taste of bread baked by a well-functioning bread machine is not bad, but the minimum is 500g, which is too much for a breakfast, and it needs to be broken down into several days.

This morning, Chen Jiuqi couldn't get the freshly baked bread, chewed it as if he had finished his task, and then took the elevator down to drive.

Speaking of which, even though she has been promoted to VP, the title of vice president is not at the level of "dominant president" in investment banks. It's just that compared with those who have not made it for many years and jumped to the fund, among financial people of this age It can be regarded as the best, and it is definitely not as good as those geniuses of MD before the age of 30.

As a VP, Chen Jiuqi does not need to look for business and relies on MD to allocate it. It is just that she is still young and her foundation is still shallow. In her opinion, she wants to build a solid relationship with a big client. , Contracting is important, but it is never wise to slack off on tasks that do not require rush work, such as tracking post-investment projects and revising post-investment plans.

And to be precise, she doesn't need to track and modify by herself. She mainly reviews the reports and plans submitted by her subordinate project managers and their analysts. "Value-added" is more expensive to sell, and when it plays the role of taking money, it masters the judgment of the timing of additional investment or ruthless withdrawal from Party B.

Since it is not particularly tiring, why not pay more attention to these daily tasks?

With this in mind, the manager under her is a bit too comfortable. Whenever there is a part of work that is difficult to grasp or wants to be lazy, she can always get help from her.

The last time I approached her manager with the law firm's M&A business, a week later, I came to her again with almost the same materials.

"Mr. Chen," the manager didn't hold back, and quickly said the truth, hoping that Chen Jiuqi would help him because of his personal relationship, "I'm planning to jump into private equity, and I want to bring some investment certificates, but I really can't do it recently. "

"I think you should know that although our department focuses on both businesses, I focus on IPOs, right?" Chen Jiuqi looked at him with a headache.

Euphemistically refused but did not hit, Chen Jiuqi's habit of leaving room for peace and patience may have given the manager too much illusion, so that he went further: "To be honest, teacher, of course, at your level, you can directly deal with MD's subordinates. Lead a whole team, I know you are not comparable to ordinary VPs, you should be promoted within two years, but you know, it is because you are focusing on IPOs that I, who do mergers and acquisitions, have to make a jump—a man or It’s a little stressful to support a family.”

His words were polite and stinging. Chen Jiuqi did not deny that the manager himself might indeed have the pressure to support his family, but he blamed himself for "blinding" his promotion path, and he was really speechless.

The thing is like this, when Chen Jiuqi first joined the investment bank, she only had securities qualifications, and Chen Jiuqi, who has not yet obtained the CFA, is naturally not familiar with the large-scale M&A business since she took office. To be honest, she doesn’t even know the complete process.

Under this premise, the MD missed the ordinary mergers and acquisitions handed over to Chen Jiuqi's team, which instead gave the project manager level more opportunities to exercise decision-making.

Moreover, for the M&A business, the investment bank provides more consultation and assistance to Party A's transactions. It will not only quickly absorb various knowledge such as the leading business operation model of Party A's industry and the competitiveness of industry segments, but also frequently communicate with the high-level experts of these industry giants. Regardless of making contact, it can be said that if the manager can really come up with a nomination certificate for the next company, most of the connections written on his certificate are due to the fact that his boss is an IPO.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing professional titles and income, and in order to prevent those who are leaving from spoiling the work atmosphere, he explained that Chen Jiuqi will definitely re-arrange when he leaves.

But his extravagant attribution is really stupid, and if he intentionally uses this set of rhetoric to kidnap morality, it is really offensive, and Chen Jiuqi will naturally not mention him again.

So Chen Jiuqi didn't say whether to answer or not, but asked him: "Is HR the only contact person for your background call?"

There was a slight smile on Chen Jiuqi's face, but the other party already knew that his rhetoric had had the opposite effect, regret and nervousness made his face flush, and when he tasted enough of his panic, Chen Jiuqi's words turned mild: "I can't keep you, of course I hope you will graduate smoothly, don't worry, I will directly take over this project.

However, I suggest you think about what your co-workers will think of you and what negative comments they will make after the work has been rescheduled. "

Of course, Chen Jiuqi's taking over would not be for nothing. She quickly convened a group meeting with the analysts handling the project, which made the manager's withdrawal even more abrupt. performance.

Realizing this abruptness, and not being the kind of ruthless person who turned his head to curry favor with others, the manager had no choice but to go back to the project and do some white work to gain a sense of presence.

As for the specific balance and guidance, there is no need to go into details. In short, for several days and nights, Chen Jiuqi was immersed in unlimited work, studying law firms during the day, and studying the entertainment industry in his dreams at night. Fortunately, he studied hard during the day. Mergers and acquisitions have made night work a lot easier.

Even considering that the troupe is already showing signs of getting confused, Chen Jiuqi still has some time to relax in his dreams when he doesn't need to rehearse too many songs and dances.

Qu Fengyang, who lived with her, finally found out that Chen Jiuqi was doing something she couldn't understand. Chen Jiuqi casually explained the commercial logic of idol commercialization to her in detail, and added: "If this is the case, how dare the product violate the law?" Against the wishes of customers?"

Although Qu Fengyang was sitting on the side with a book, he also listened very seriously. After listening, he said: "The one who responds to all wishes, including greed, is at best the lamp genie; only the one who comforts and punishes the evil is the one we will bow to." Worship God.

Those who were originally rushing to be commodities dare not disobey it is understandable. Those who really want to be the kind of radiant idols who are revered by others, shouldn't they have a certain godhead?

Even if you are mediocre by nature, when you are an idol, you should try your best to be bright and righteous. "

"You think so?" Chen Jiuqi raised her eyebrows. Her speculation about the comparison between Qu Fengyang and Yijun in the previous match was enough to make her expect that Qu Fengyang had such thoughts, but the metaphor she said now is really interesting.

Chen Jiuqi was fiddling with his juicer. A new fan who was squatting off work gave him a fruit basket. Qu Fengyang brought it back from the company. The fruit basket contained mangoes that were not in season, which aroused Chen Jiuqi's desire to squeeze the juice .

Speaking of which, Chen Jiuqi ordered mango juice when they first dated in a coffee shop, and every time she went to that coffee shop later, she would order mango juice.

At that time, they chatted about current affairs and life, and talked about each other's future. Qu Fengyang's expression of views was part of her fatal attraction to Chen Jiuqi.

Even now, when Chen Jiuqi heard Qu Fengyang express his views, he was more willing to make fun of him.

"However, speaking of it, many people think it's better than a fancier who doesn't have a voice," she pointed to herself.

"Beautiful waste is even more unworthy of being an idol." He pointed at Qu Fengyang again.

Qu Fengyang also laughed: "I'm not suitable."

"Oh yes, you said so." Chen Jiuqi pressed the new blade in, and was about to pick up the stubble no matter what, but Qu Fengyang continued.

"But I figured it out. There are very few people in this world who are upright and smart enough to be good at singing and dancing, attractive in appearance, and willing to be idols. I have at least three points.

Even if I am not smart enough to follow Thoth, nor qualified to be the messenger of Ma'at, at least I am willing to speak out when the balance of good and evil in my heart is out of balance. After Qu Fengyang finished speaking, he put down the book, and on the cover was written "Book of the Dead".

Qu Fengyang quoted an allusion from Egyptian mythology. Thoth is the god of wisdom, and Ma'at symbolizes fairness, truth, etc. If you have heard the allusion about the balance of good and evil and feathers, it should not be difficult to understand.

However, "Book of the Dead" is not Chen Jiuqi's favorite collection of poems and essays. She is familiar with allusions only because she has read extensively, so she didn't immediately realize that she was making metaphors based on books, but she felt that Qu Fengyang at this time was more like him. The real one.

Qu Fengyang came over and picked up the mango to help her peel it. The grid knife was divided into three parts, and the finger was pressed against the tip to turn the skin upwards, and carefully cut the pulp into the small cup.When she put down the knife, she asked Chen Jiuqi again: "Isn't Jiujiu also very smart? He is also very skilled in business, although he is not as beautiful as me."

"That's because I really don't like the stage." Chen Jiuqi ignored her "not as beautiful as me". She used to laugh because her girlfriend is prettier than herself, which is something to be proud of, but now she doesn't know how to do it. What did you pick up.

She poured the fruit pulp in, connected the electricity and pressed the switch, and the two of them stood in front of the roaring and vibrating table, speechless.

But Qu Fengyang still spoke despite the roar: "Then what does Jiujiu like to do?"
