Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

But when she reached the door, she quickly turned back.

"Sir, may I ask if this is because of his family connections?"

Yang Jianguo was not angered by this, but instead went to see Zhu Hao's performance.

I noticed that he looked slightly angry, but quickly suppressed it.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself and said, "No, that's not true. Here are your two files. You can look at them here before you leave."

Xu Lu grabbed Zhu Hao's file and began to read it carefully.

But the more I looked at her, the more desperate I became. Geniuses aren't scary; what's scary is when a genius has a better family background than you and works even harder than you.

This is utterly despairing and suffocating. When will those from poor families ever be able to rise above their circumstances?

"I'm sorry, boss, I was impulsive and disturbed you."

Feeling bewildered, Xu Lu put down the documents and left the office in a daze.

Seeing her like that, Yang Jianguo pressed the intercom with some concern: "Xiao Wu..."

Chapter 518 The Choice: The Stock Market Crash Is Coming

A few minutes later, Xu Lu turned around and came back.

His eyes were red and swollen, and he was sniffling, clearly still reeling from the blow.

"That's the basic work. For the rest of the details, you can discuss it with Xiao Wu and Wu Mei. They will teach you how to do it."

"Boss, I'll head out now." Zhu Hao straightened his back, raised his head, and turned to leave with his feet touching.

As he passed by Xu Lu, he whispered, "Keep it up."

Xu Lu was still in a daze and had no idea what he meant by "keep going".

Are you mocking yourself?

But looking at him, he didn't seem quite right, and Xu Lu fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Little Xu, Little Xu."

"Ah, boss."

Xu Lu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, boss, I was daydreaming."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not a man-eating tiger, don't be so nervous!"

He waved her over with a hearty laugh, inviting her to sit down opposite him.

Yang Jianguo flicked the cigarette pack, watched the cigarettes pop out of the seal, and said, "I called you back to ask if you'd be interested in staying and working here."

"Huh?" Xu Lu was confused. Wasn't Zhu Hao the one who got accepted?

“My ministry is so big, it’s not like there’s only one position; we’re short of people everywhere.”

Hearing this, Xu Lu looked somewhat disappointed.

She came specifically to see Yang Jianguo's secretary.

Now, I work in the Ministry of Industry.

The difference is just too big!

"What, you don't want to?" Yang Jianguo shook the match in his hand, the smoke blurring Xu Lu's vision.

"No, no, I'm willing," Xu Lu said hurriedly.

"If you're willing, that's good. Which department do you want to go to?" Yang Jianguo said, puffing on his cigarette, but his words left Xu Lu dumbfounded.

What does "I want to go to which department" mean? Does this mean I can choose the department myself?

Xu Lu's mind raced through the various departments within the Ministry of Works.

A large office, a major department, the most leisurely job without offending anyone, with almost nothing to do except for some trivial matters.

Finance professionals, who manage money, always exude confidence wherever they go.

In the organization, those in charge of people, everyone had to be polite to them, addressing them respectfully as "brother" or "sister."

The engineering department, where people work on the front lines of technology, has a tough job, but the pay is high.

People are always on the go, so there are many opportunities for promotion.

The research department is the most mysterious and has the highest requirements.

I've heard the salary and benefits are incredibly good, and top-notch.

and also……

Xu Lu couldn't stop thinking about it; he felt that any department was good and he wanted to go to any of them.

Wanting everything perfectly describes Xu Lu's state of mind at this moment.

Yang Jianguo didn't urge him, and just waited patiently.

Anyway, he's just waiting for the call in his office, so one more of her won't make a difference!

"Boss, I've made up my mind." Xu Lu had an idea.

She didn't choose any of the departments mentioned earlier.

The final choice was the restructuring office.

She was to work under Tang Youshui and go with him to other places to be in charge of the reform work.

This choice was indeed somewhat unexpected for Yang Jianguo.

But it left him with a deeper impression of Xu Lu.

"Have you really thought about it?"

Going down there, the work won't be easy.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and huge interests are involved, so they often face various direct conflicts.

She's a girl, she can't be too timid!

"Boss, I've made up my mind." Xu Lu stood up straight, head held high, and replied.

"Okay, that's settled."

Yang Jianguo took out a pen, dipped it in the ink bottle, and wrote her a note on the spot.

"Take this and get it stamped. You have two days to settle things at home, then go to the west and report to Team Leader Tang."

"Boss, I heard that the restructuring has encountered some trouble, and Team Leader Tang is handling it."

Xu Lu didn't rush to leave. If she didn't seize the opportunity to understand the situation when there was readily available information, she would only cause trouble if she arrived at the scene completely in the dark.

Yang Jianguo smiled and asked her to sit down before talking about the current progress.

The investigation is almost complete, but a lot of people are involved, and we need to consider how to handle the situation.

Tang Youshui transferred police officers from another location to assist his operation, and they could only obtain the final evidence before making the arrest.

This time, we must completely eradicate this source of trouble.

"When you arrive, don't rush into work. Listen more, observe more, and think more."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The first thing to do is to learn the methods. Blindly forcing things won't work."

"Yes, I will heed your instructions, leader."

"Alright, get out!"

The phone on the table rang, and Yang Jianguo also asked her to go out and find someone to get the stamp.

"Hello, this is Yang Jianguo."

"...Okay, I'll be right there."

Xu Lu was still asking Wu Mei for advice when Yang Jianguo came out of the office: "Xiao Zhu, come with me."

"Yes, sir." Zhu Hao immediately got into character.

She took the briefcase from his hand and followed closely behind, the two disappearing one after the other at the end of the corridor.

"Sister Wu, is something urgent?" Xu Lu asked curiously.

"Shhh."

Wu Mei raised her finger, looked around, and instructed, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Our leaders have many positions, and there are some things that are not for you or me to inquire about."

"understand."

Xu Lu nodded apologetically, having forgotten that Yang Jianguo held important positions in more than just the Ministry of Works.

It seems the problem lies elsewhere this time.

In the car, Zhu Hao watched as it drove into the imperial city.

After passing through several checkpoints, he arrived at a place completely unfamiliar to him.

Yang Jianguo, who had been dozing with his eyes closed since getting on the bus, finally opened his eyes, got off the bus, and walked towards the main hall.

Without any markings, Zhu Hao focused and quietly followed.

Upon entering the room, he was overwhelmed by the various trend charts, tables, and formulas hanging all over it.

The huge table in the middle, which resembled a command post, was piled high with all sorts of documents.

A row of computers was placed against the wall on the left, and the staff sitting in front of the computers were typing rapidly.

"Boss." Zhu Hao could no longer contain his curiosity.

Yang Jianguo shook his head and said, "Don't talk, just observe and listen."

It's best for him to remain silent here.

"How's the situation?"

"Advisor Yang, two hours ago, the Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced abnormal fluctuations. Someone attempted to force a rise, but failed."

"What about commercial exchanges? What are the trading volumes like?"

A young man hung up the phone and strode over: "Breaking news, someone is dumping a lot of shares, but there are almost no buyers."

Staring at the latest daily trading records, Yang Jianguo saw a terrifying storm: "It's coming!"

"Use Focus Card, Hypermemory Card, Analysis Card, Data Prediction Card..."

The trend charts over the past ten days formed a coherent pattern in Yang Jianguo's mind.

Then came twenty days, thirty days, fifty days...

Chapter 519 Fierce Argument, Wrong Bet

Wall Street was shrouded in gloom on Wednesday.

With a sharp and muffled 'ding-dong' of the clock, the New York Stock Exchange officially opened for trading.

However, the once bustling trading hall was filled with an uneasy atmosphere as soon as the market opened.

Everyone sensed the eerie atmosphere, as if some disaster was about to befall them.

Then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 79 points as soon as the market opened.

Instantly, a surge of sell orders appeared.

"Selling~"

"Sell…"

"Sell……"

Everyone is following the same instruction: sell their shares.

Inside the hall, the relentless pressure of the rolling torrents turned the screen completely red, obscuring even a single green flower.

The exchange was thrown into panic, and the futures market descended into chaos.

From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the Dow Jones Industrial Average kept falling, and nobody knew what to do.

Although some have suggested closing the market to curb panic selling.
