Chapter 91(1/2)
In the month of graduation, Xue Youka received a return offer from the company and became a full-time trainee. According to tradition, every year new graduates from around the world go to the headquarters for training.
This was his first time in New York. It only took a month from getting a short-term work visa to settling down and participating in new banker training. He carried his suitcase and lived in the Conrad suite next to the company, standing in front of the huge
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bustling Upper West Side downstairs, and you can see New York Harbor, the Hudson and the East River in the distance.
She skillfully took photos and group photos, and when chatting with Cheng Yu, there was no hint of jet lag in her voice, and she was full of enthusiasm: "The suite is so big, the bed is so big!! The bathtub is so big!" The point is, all of this is free of charge.
of!
"That's all you have to do to make a living," Cheng Yu's voice was full of smiles, "Where can I live without being noisy?"
Since it is a short-term training, Cheng Yu plans to visit him in a few days and stay in New York for a month. If Xue Youka chooses to stay and work at the New York headquarters, he will make further plans.
"It won't be noisy if you don't open the window... Hey, Cheng Yu, it's so beautiful outside. I can see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from here."
"Do you like this?" Cheng Yu pondered, "If you like me, come to Manhattan and buy an apartment."
Xue Youka said no: "I won't stay here for too long. I will go back in two months."
Looking at the glorious night view outside the window, lying on the bed in the suite, Xue Youka felt like he was sleeping in a pile of money, and a new and luxurious world spread out before his eyes.
He has sent resumes to this company since he was studying in Oxford. He returned to China in his senior year and went through more than ten rounds of interviews before successfully joining the company as an intern. Now he has become a full-time employee and is training on Wall Street. The time is incredible.
Xue Youka turned off the lights and talked slowly with him on the phone, and fell asleep while chatting. The phone was placed on the bedside to charge. It was noon at Cheng Yu's place, and he never hung up the phone. He could hear the other party's subtle voice through the earphones.
The even breathing sounded as if she was beside him.
Cheng Yu never objected to him seeing the wider world. Although he always thought that the other person was too busy, when Xue You was tired, he would take the initiative to retreat into his arms and tell him that he was sleepy, wanted to sleep, and had enough sleep.
Then he continued to work energetically.
This time was no exception. Maybe it was because it was new. A few days before the training started, Xue Youka often connected with him on the mic and said to him: "The entire forty floors are our company."
"The parking lot under our company building is full of Lincolns. They work overtime, and the driver drives them back at night."
"There are new employees here from a dozen different countries."
Four to five hundred people attended class at the same time, with different skin colors, different backgrounds, and English with different accents, but they were all young people of the same age. Then they were divided into groups, and a group of more than a dozen people completed a small project. Seniors, bosses, and colleagues
They are all very good people, and each is interesting and powerful in his or her own way. He interacts and socializes with colleagues on different floors every day, and he has made acquaintance with a large number of elites in a short period of time.
The training was not too busy, and Cheng Yu even took time to pick up the plane on the day he arrived.
Cheng Yu got off the plane and went to the exit. He easily saw him among a bunch of tall and thick white people. It had only been more than a week, but Xue Youka had gained a lot of maturity. He was wearing a well-dressed formal suit and a dark blue striped tie.
They were beautifully beaten, as if they were polished financial elites, wearing sharp thorns and slightly revealing their sharp edges, looking for themselves everywhere.
The two men's eyes met.
Cheng Yu was dressed in black and white again today, wearing sunglasses, and appeared in the crowd with his tall and long legs. Xue Youka jumped up and waved to him with a flying eyebrow: "I'm here!"
All excess elitist temperament was swept away.
Cheng Yu pushed the boarding box, stretched out his long legs, stood in front of him, lowered his head, smiled, and opened his arms.
Xue Youka didn't care whether this was an airport or not. She whimpered and hugged him directly. Cheng Yu raised his hand and pressed the head on his chest, rubbing it: "Did you miss me?"
I asked this question on the phone every day, but when we really hugged each other and breathed in the same place, the meaning of the question was different. Xue Youka closed his eyes and said in a low voice that he had thought about it. He could smell the familiar smell on Cheng Yu's body.
odor.
Working and training in a foreign country naturally feels fresh, but it is impossible to be alone in such a big city without feeling a little lonely and scared.
But as soon as Cheng Yuren arrived, he felt as safe as returning home.
Xue Youka stood in the airport lobby, hugged him tightly for a few minutes, then exhaled and let go.
"Are you very tired?" Cheng Yu saw the faint tinge under his eyes, "Do you have to work overtime for training?"
"There is no overtime. There is no need to work overtime for training, but it depends on the case..."
The two took a taxi outside the airport. After getting in the car, Xue Youka tilted her head and leaned against him again, detailing the training courses. In short: "The training is not hard. The boss even asked me today if I want to stay."
Working at the New York headquarters.”
Cheng Yu: "Oh, what did you answer?"
"I said it was great, but I didn't apply, so I went back to the Beijing office as soon as the training was over."
There are relatively few Chinese faces in the headquarters, and the salaries and benefits at the headquarters are the best.
The boss may just ask casually and give him a chance.
If you do not make any application, you will go directly back to the Beijing office after the training.
Cheng Yu looked down at the tip of his nose and rested his chin on his forehead: "Why don't you stay? Huh? You call me every day and tell me how beautiful the window is."
"It's very beautiful, but I want to go back," Xue Youka's reason is actually very simple. It's just because he can't leave Cheng Yu. He had heard of a large number of cases before joining the industry. There is no personal life in this industry. From the outside world,
Gold collar, glamorous, but in fact, every day except going to work and getting off work.
However, he still found other reasons to convince himself: "I may always be a low-level employee at the headquarters, and the chance of promotion is higher when I return to Beijing. However, I may change jobs after working for two years, and I will not always be so busy."
"
What he wants is very simple. If he works hard here for a year or two and gets several times more bonuses, he can buy a big house for He Xiaoyou in full and pay off her mortgage - maybe the remaining money can be used
Choose a good gift for Cheng Yu. Xue Youka has always felt guilty about He Xiaoyou and cannot make up for it in other aspects. She can only work hard to improve her existing life, but this cannot be done by Cheng Yu. It must be done by
He does it himself.
He took Cheng Yu to dinner on the Upper West Side, and then took him back to his Conrad suite. He also told him: "I have a company card, which allows you to enter and exit major museums in New York for free. If you want to go, I will free it tomorrow."
Let’s go to the museum when it’s time.”
"Is this what you said, a big house?" Cheng Yu pushed the suitcase into the cloakroom. The room was on a very high floor. As he said, he could indeed see some famous landmarks, but not all of them.
"It's not very big." Xue Youka skillfully used the coffee machine to make a cup of hot Americano in a small suite of about 80 square meters. "The important thing is that the company provides two months of free accommodation. I have always dreamed of renting one like this."
Room! Inviting you to stay here again will make me feel like I am the boss."
He held the coffee cup and said to Cheng Yu like a boss: "Xiao Cheng, you can sit wherever you like."
Cheng Yu laughed loudly: "Boss, where do you want me to sit?"
"Sofa, carpet, dining chair...bed, wherever you want to sit."
Cheng Yu said: "What should I do if I want to sit on your lap?"
"Then come on." He sat down, but Cheng Yu just stood in front of him, bent down to loosen his tie, touched his face with his fingers, and said in a voice like a sigh: "Mimi, if
If you want to stay here, I have no objection."
"I don't want it, I want to go home."
"Why?"
"I want to go home and eat stinky tofu."
Cheng Yu: "..."
Cheng Yu's voice was very soft: "If you are tired, you can come back and do asset management for me."
Xue Youka took a shower and fell asleep with him in her arms. She talked to Cheng Yu about her colleagues in a daze: "I have a gay boss. I heard that his hometown is in Ohi. Where was he and his partner recently?"
There was a wedding."
"Ohi is too remote," Cheng Yu said, "Then we can go to Oxford to have a wedding."
Xue Youka opened his eyes and looked up at him.
Cheng Yu: "The premise is that we need to find a place to register. We can register in the United States. When do you have time?"
"Are you proposing?"
Cheng Yu said yes and smiled: "Isn't it too formal?"
"Well, a little bit, at least sing me a song."
Cheng Yu asked him to close his eyes and sang him a lullaby similar to a nursery rhyme in a low voice. He wanted to ask if he was willing, and Xue Youka fell asleep.
Although he just came here, Xue Youka already knows this circle very well.
There are a lot of colleagues like this. Although they are so busy that they have no time to eat and are under so much pressure, they spend all their free time in bed. They even use public funds to pay prostitutes. But he only needs to stay with Cheng Yu.
The pressure disappears and we go to museums together, eat together, go to Broadway together, watch music festivals in the United States...
The two-month training period passed by in a flash. Xue Youka returned to the Beijing office, but he was still busier than expected. He kept traveling for business and participated in IPO projects. In just half a year, he helped He Xiaoyou save enough for his mortgage loan.
Returned it to her.
Scorpion is getting better and better, and the production continues. The songs and bands are becoming more and more famous, and they have held their own tour in China... I heard from Hu Yue that when Scorpion went to Changsha for a tour, He Xiaoyou was still working for scalpers.
I bought two tickets and went to listen to it with her father.
But when Xue Youka asked her about this, He Xiaoyou refused to admit it, saying that she had never heard their songs, and she didn't know about touring or not.
When Xue Youka felt that he was reaching his limit, he saved enough money to buy a big house for He Xiaoyou in the second year and quit.
When he just returned home and bought a big house for He Xiaoyou, He Xiaoyou stood up in shock when he saw the house purchase contract: "Mimi, what do you do to earn so much money?"
She knew somewhat about Xue Youka's salary. The monthly salary was about 70,000 yuan, which was a very high salary. However, it still scared her to pay off the loan for herself in half a year and buy a 200-square-meter lake-view loft for herself in full in a year.
Already.
