Tang Xiao knelt on the sofa and looked at the night view of the ancient moat for a while. He turned around and saw Chen Li lying on the sofa and looking at a thick stack of English materials. He asked, "It's so late, why are you watching?"

Chen Li handed over the information in his hand and asked Tang Xiao to read it himself.

Although both of them were on the same sofa, they were far away intentionally or unintentionally, and Chen Li was still lying on the side. Tang Xiao was owed to get information, not beingware of the fact that she placed the mobile phone ring on the desk and made a big noise. She was startled, turned her body sideways, pressed her hand directly on Chen Li's thigh, screamed, subconsciously retracted her hand, and threw herself into Chen Li's arms.

Chen Li pressed Tang Xiao fiercely, and his body arched in pain, and he hugged Tang Xiao in his arms just right.

The bathrobe was dispersed, and Tang Xiao was wearing a semi-transparent pajama inside, without any other underwear. What really made Chen Li's soul move was Tang Xiao's panicked eyes, as if such a small accident completely shocked her, and he held her hands in his arms, so helpless that he seemed to have completely forgotten what to do.

Tang Xiao's appearance completely stirred up the emotions that Chen Li had accumulated or suppressed for many years. At this moment, he forgot to move, or he did not dare to move, thinking about completely solidifying this moment, rather than acting rashly and breaking it off at this moment.

It was unknown how long it took, but the two of them suddenly woke up until the ringing of their phone stopped. Chen Li reached out to put his arms around Tang Xiao's waist, and kissed her red lips that looked like a flaming beauty.

Tang Xiao opened his eyes wide, not knowing to refuse at all. Chen Li's hand was burning against her waist. She knew that the two of them shouldn't be like this, but she seemed to be completely stuck in the face. She felt like she was about to suffocate and had no strength to push Chen Li away, and perhaps she struggled to sit up from Chen Li's arms.

For Chen Li, after eight years, he hugged his longing body again. The soft and elastic touch like condensed fat burned the desire in his heart. It was not enough to stretch into his bathrobe. It was not enough to stretch into the semi-transparent silk pajamas, as if he wanted to completely ignite the memory that had been covered for many years and develop new ultimate joy.

The mobile phone ring rings again, and Tang Xiao truly woke up. Chen Li took off his bathrobe. She held Chen Li's head and rubbed it twice, and said gently: "We shouldn't be like this, let me answer the phone..."

Chen Li was willful and refused to do it. Tang Xiao reached out and stroked Chen Li's short and dense hair, slowly calming down his emotions and the fire in his heart, then put on the bathrobe scattered on the carpet, got off the sofa, and went to get the phone that was shaking for the third time.

It was Zhao Rongrong's call. Tang Xiao showed Chen Li the screen of his phone. Seeing Chen Li moving his face into the sofa, she sat down, walked into Chen Li's arms, and answered Zhao Rongrong's call.

"Are you asleep?" Zhao Rongrong asked on the phone.

"Well, I just fell asleep and didn't hear the phone ringing." Tang Xiao also lied and said without blinking. Seeing Chen Li's hand surrounding him from behind, she grabbed Chen Li's hand.

"I've been busy in Pujiang for a day. I just heard Qian Li talk about your affairs in Qiyang - the situation of Deli Cosmetics Company is quite complicated. I had expected this situation before. You guess how many people can we keep when we acquire Deli Cosmetics Company, its research and production team?" After Zhao Rongrong heard Qian Li's report, she knew that Hu Shuncheng started a new job, but Yihua developed its own independent cosmetic products and established its own product research and development and production system. It was impossible not to pay the price. The key was to weigh it.

Zhao Rongrong thought that she would come tomorrow and the next day and contact the senior management of Deli Cosmetics to see if there is still a possibility of recovery.

Whether to acquire it in the end is Zhao Rongrong’s arbitrary behavior, and Tang Xiao is only responsible for the preliminary work. After hearing what Zhao Rongrong said, she naturally has to stay in Jiahu for a few more days and there is no need to rush back tomorrow.

"You and Chen Li still live in the same hotel?" Zhao Rongrong asked again after she said the matter.

"It's a coincidence that I have been staying in the same hotel these days, and I only met in the restaurant this morning. I don't know if he is still in the hotel now. After dinner, I separated." Tang Xiao naturally wouldn't call Zhao Rongrong to know that Chen Li was lying behind her, and she was still holding Chen Li's warm hand.

"Did he say when he will leave Jiahu?" Zhao Rongrong asked.

"I didn't say it, but if I hadn't met today, the son of the Qiyang Municipal Party Committee who we hosted at lunch happened to be his college classmate. He should have left Jiahu - I think he would have to leave Jiahu early tomorrow morning - Why, Mr. Zhao has something to come to him?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Oh, nothing. I thought if I could meet a meal together or something, it would be fine if he wasn't in Jiahu tomorrow." Zhao Rongrong said.

"Okay, I'll wake up tomorrow morning and call him and ask first." Tang Xiao said, and there was nothing else, so she hung up the phone.

Tang Xiao held the phone in his hand, turned his head and looked at Chen Li with bright eyes, and said, "I really shouldn't have stayed in the afternoon, and we shouldn't have done this..."

"..." Chen Li looked at Tang Xiao's charming and beautiful face. Although he didn't know how to deal with his relationship with Tang Xiao now, he did not regret the accident just now.

"Actually, I have met Zheng Bingyang later," Tang Xiao explained when Chen Li showed a surprised look, "We Yihua and Oren Advertising have business cooperation. Although I have no direct intersection with Zheng Bingyang, she is not responsible for Yihua's advertising business, but I met her twice in Oren's company. I don't know who she is, and in her eyes, I should be just your ex-girlfriend, and I have never spoken. It feels strange. I can't say what I feel..."

The passion faded, and when Tang Xiao mentioned Zheng Bingyang again, Chen Li's scalp became numb. During this period, his relationship with Zheng Bingyang became cold, but because of Shen Tong, Zheng Wenyuan and others, they still had the chance to meet Zheng Bingyang from time to time, but Zheng Bingyang did not reveal that she and Tang Xiao had encountered anything again.

He had to consider how to deal with the situation one day after Tang Xiao knew about her relationship with the Zheng family and Zheng Bingyang.

Chen Li rubbed his head in distress.

"I have lived a good life alone in the past few years, especially since I saw my parents quarrel for half their lives since I was a child. I always thought that I could become stronger and stronger. Mr. Zhao asked me to be responsible for the new brand. I know that it is your factor, but I also want to do this in my heart, and I especially want to do it. I don't know if I am qualified to be your lover. I have thought that one day I can meet you again, even if I might come out to have a cup of tea or go to the library to read a book together, it would be good, but I really want to get involved with you, and I probably don't have the perseverance or position. If I stick to Yihua, let alone build a new brand." Tang Xiao said.

"So what?" Chen Li asked.

"So you can sleep on the sofa honestly later and don't think about it." Tang Xiao said.

"I can't sleep." Chen Li spread his hands and said. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, but he was not sleepy at all. He turned his body inward and asked Tang Xiao to lie down too.

Tang Xiao tidied up his bathrobe and lay down. In order to change the topic, he diluted the charming atmosphere between the two. He took the foreign information Chen Li had just seen and flipped it in his hand. What he said was the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis on the global financial system since this year. He asked curiously: "Do you have to read these information in your daily work?"

"The US real estate market has been somewhat unrest in the past two years. Subprime mortgage loans, as financial derivatives closely related to the US real estate market, are huge in scale, and are secondary, not optimal, and have controllable risks. Once the large market turns into a strong market, it will exacerbate some serious problems. I have nothing to do during this period, so I have asked someone to find some relevant information to read..." Chen Li explained.

The subprime mortgage crisis began to become apparent in February this year. At that time, large investment banks and investment funds in the United States, Germany, and Hong Kong all suffered huge losses due to subprime mortgage loan derivative investment in the US real estate market. Most of the global securities markets and futures markets experienced some relatively large fluctuations and began to decline significantly. However, before mid-September, the domestic securities market was just like a fire, and they could not feel the slight coldness brought to the global financial market by the subprime mortgage crisis.

From August to November, central banks in major European and American countries have spent hundreds of billions of dollars in injected into the financial market, hoping to alleviate the liquidity shortage crisis caused by subprime mortgage losses, but it seems that the effect is not very good at the moment.

Of course, the domestic financial system is relatively closed, and there is no possibility of the subprime mortgage crisis spreading to China. It is just that Chen Li's theoretical basis for promoting the rapid rise of Xinchaorui is to determine that after the economic development of the country reaches a certain level, it is destined to have a rapid catalytic stage in the process of urbanization development like developed countries in Europe and the United States. He has never given up on research on the European and American real estate markets in recent years. He has a more direct and profound feeling than ordinary economists about the deterioration of the US new home sales market and the negative spreading to the financial system through subprime mortgage loans.

At present, there is no possibility of the subprime mortgage crisis spreading to the country, but the United States accounts for too much of the total global economy. Chen Li still needs to consider the possible negative impact of the continued spread of this crisis on the country.

Of course, while considering risks, Chen Li also needs to weigh the possible loss of opportunity that is too conservative to the development adopted by the new and trendy.

"Your job is so complicated?" Tang Xiao recently read International Finance and also saw news about the subprime mortgage crisis, but he did not leave a particularly deep impression, nor did he feel that it would have any direct and profound impact on his life.

"For example," Chen Li changed to an example that Tang Xiao could understand more, and explained, "It is not one or two companies, nor is there any problem in the market in small regions. The total sales of cosmetics in mainland China have been declining for nine consecutive months. How do you view this acquisition of Deli cosmetics? Will you need to consider more maturely? The negative impact of the continuous decline in sales performance of cosmetics market is because the leverage effect of financial derivatives is magnified by a hundred times. At this time, you will not only give up this acquisition, but naturally you will also consider the negative impact and the possibility of spreading to related fields..."

Chen Li turned on his computer and logged into Yahoo to search for the financial news that happened tonight. Today, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers released data from the US real estate market last month, including data from the US real estate market, existing home sales, house inventory and the U.S. housing price index, which showed no signs of improvement. It can even be said to be a complete deterioration, lowering the three major U.S. stock indexes tonight by two points.
