When Lu Xiaofan went back to Beijing to report on his work, he also saw Bei Luqing. He was wearing a camel-colored windbreaker with his hands in his trouser pockets and standing not far from where he was waiting for the bus. Bei Luqing was a tall and slender man, very eye-catching, and Lu Xiaofan saw him at a glance. It's not that he didn't think about taking half a minute to walk up and say hello to Bei Luqing.

But he couldn't think of what to do after saying hello. Lu Xiaofan thought about it for about five minutes, and the car that Bei Luqing was waiting for had arrived.

It was a very beautiful imported car, completely different from the cars running on the street, so much so that Lu Xiaofan didn't even know what the license plate was. But there is no doubt that the car also stands out from the crowd, just like Bei Luqing standing on the street.

Lu Xiaofan watched the car carrying Bei Luqing drive away.

Lu Xiaofan lowered his head, and the bus came. It was after work, and the bus was packed like a can of sardines. Lu Xiaofan was almost squeezed flat, and there was no place to think about Bei Luqing, whom he met by chance.

But when the bus turned, Lu Xiaofan found that Bei Luqing's car was actually parked not far away, and Bei Luqing sat in the driver's seat.

After the previous fantasy was shattered, Lu Xiaofan was now very pragmatic. He just thought calmly: I don't know who he is waiting for... Maybe he is waiting for Li Wenxi, or someone like Li Wenxi.

Not long after Lu Xiaofan returned to Tianjin, Lu Xiaoping came to see him. It turned out that after breaking up that day, Lu Xiaoping quickly contacted Lu Tao, and successfully got an account at Wanda. Lu Tao even took him to visit the big account room in person.

Seeing those clean windows and computers with one person, Lu Xiaoping was excited. His shabby office and the only two computers in the bureau, one for the director and the other for the typist, he had to look at people's faces to check something.

He couldn't help but admire and said: "It is indeed the largest securities firm in the country. You can tell from the conditions of stock trading."

Lu Tao smiled and said: "In fact, stocks are not the leading service in our securities firm. We are in the top futures market, that is where we can really make money!"

When Lu Xiaoping heard that it was more profitable than stocks, he hurriedly said to take a look. Lu Tao took him to the futures trading hall on the top floor. Compared with the bustling and crowded stock hall, it was much quieter here, but every person who came in and out made Lu Xiaoping feel that he was very important, far from being comparable to the ordinary people in the stock hall.

"What is the difference between futures and stocks?"

Lu Tao smiled and said: "There is not much difference, but if you make one dollar in the stock market, you can make at least ten dollars here!"

Lu Xiaoping was excited when he heard it, and said: "Why are there not as many people in the futures market as those in the stock market!"

Lu Tao smiled and said: "The futures market account has a threshold. You need at least 100,000 funds to open an account in our futures market!"

"How much?" Lu Xiaoping's eyes were straightened.

"Three hundred thousand!" Lu Tao said with a smile, "If your brother comes, I'll lend you this three hundred thousand!"

Lu Xiaoping's eyes stopped moving for a moment, and after a while he chuckled and said, "We can't afford to lose money in case we lose money!"

Lu Tao made a gesture of invitation and smiled implicitly, "If I lend you money, will I lose my own money?"

Therefore, as soon as Lu Xiaofan came back and lay down on the bed, Lu Xiaoping came to him and shouted excitedly, "Lu Xiaofan, our chance to get rich is coming!"

Lu Xiaofan rubbed his eyes and listened to Lu Xiaoping talking about Wanda's affairs in a torrent of words, then he said in a low voice, "No! What if we lose money?"

"They have already guaranteed it. Have you ever heard of a gambling den owner losing money?"

"Securities are an investment, not gambling!" Lu Xiaofan was educated by Bei Mosha, and his thoughts were still quite orthodox.

"Bullshit, in China it's gambling! You idiot! Get up!"

No matter what Lu Xiaoping said, Lu Xiaofan refused to listen and refused to obey. No matter how anxious Lu Xiaoping was, he couldn't do anything about him. Lu

Xiaofan couldn't make sense. Lu Xiaoping naturally knew that they were selling the face of Bei Mosha's son-in-law. If this son-in-law didn't move, why would they lend him 300,000 yuan?

He was so disappointed with Lu Xiaofan that he called home several times to complain about Lu Xiaofan and claimed that he would not care about his brother in the future. When

Lu's father heard that Lu Xiaofan couldn't even make money from the ready-made money, he was so angry that he scolded Lu Xiaofan at home.

After Lu Xiaoping's disturbance, Lu Xiaofan didn't dare to touch the Wanda account easily. He didn't want Bei Luqing to think that he was still taking advantage of the Bei family and his name.

In fact, except for those trivial things at home, he never took advantage of the Bei family, and was even careful not to let people know that he was the son-in-law of the Bei family.

This made him seem even more unsociable. He had not invited his colleagues home for a meal in two years of work, and his colleagues did not even know where he lived.

There is a kind of person who has few friends and no one likes him particularly. People cannot see him, and they have to think for a while before they can remember him. They will say: Oh, oh, it is the little man with glasses, and they may still not remember his name. This person is Lu Xiaofan.

Note 17: The big customer room refers to the office that mainland securities firms only provide to a group of retail investors with relatively strong funds, equipped with special computers.

The Bei family did not respond to Lu Xiaofan's marriage, so Lu Xiaofan naturally could not go to court to sue for divorce, so the divorce case was put on hold.

Lu Xiaofan rented a single room in a large courtyard in Tianjin. The location is a bit remote and the houses are all old, but the price is cheap and the environment is good. The air is much fresher than that in the heavy industrial area. 

Lu Xiaofan has a lot of freedom at work, and he does not have to work from 8 am to 5 pm. Sometimes it is common to go out later. He is also happy to read a book at home for a while and then prepare lunch to take with him. 

His assignment to Tianjin was not actually a business trip. He received a 20-yuan food allowance every day. Salesmen like him usually ate boxed lunches, but Lu Xiaofan brought his own food and vegetables every day. Therefore, others often laughed at him and said that he was saving money so hard because he was planning to get married. Lu Xiaofan just smiled. He had a small face and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, which made him look particularly young. Many people would mistakenly think that he had just graduated from high school. 

Lu Xiaofan came out with his lunch box. Before he walked out of the street, he saw Bei Luqing and a few others walking over. Those people pointed at the houses. 

Bei Luqing was wearing a slim black short leather jacket and indigo jeans. The jacket was slightly open, and underneath was a camel-colored cashmere sweater. He looked very cool. 

Occasionally, he would lower his head and say a few words to the short and fat man holding a briefcase next to him, but most of the time he just listened to them and kept silent. 

Lu Xiaofan thought again and again while holding his lunch box, and finally decided not to disturb Bei Luqing. 

He lowered his head slightly and quietly walked outside along the other side of the alley, but it seemed that God just didn't want him and Bei Luqing to pass by each other quietly. 

A car stopped when passing in front of him, the window rolled down, and Lin Ziyang said with a smile; "Xiaofan, have you seen your brother?" 

When he said this, Bei Luqing naturally heard it. Lu Xiaofan could feel that Bei Luqing turned around from among those people. 

"No, I didn't see it!" Lu Xiaofan stuttered. He naturally couldn't say that he saw Bei Luqing, but pretended not to see him. 

Lin Ziyang jumped out of the car, swung to close the door, put his hand on his shoulder and smiled: "Come, come, watch your brother Ziyang turn you around!"

Lin Ziyang put his arm around Lu Xiaofan's shoulder and walked up to Bei Luqing, saying with a smile, "Did you see that? Your brother!"

Lu Xiaofan bowed his head and called Bei Luqing, "Brother!"

Bei Luqing didn't answer him, but turned to the person next to him and said, "Director Li, let's talk later!"

The short and fat man smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then shall we have a simple meal tonight?"

Bei Luqing smiled and said, "No, I have to have dinner with my family today!"

Lu Xiaofan raised his head slightly, but didn't raise it completely and lowered it again.

Director Li was quite happy and said, "Okay, just consider it as a debt. When you are free, let's have a good drink!"

"It's a deal!" Bei Luqing replied.

After everyone left, Lin Ziyang smiled and said, "Are you showing the land to your mother or are you buying it yourself?"

"Both." Bei Luqing replied indifferently.

Lin Ziyang laughed and said, "Why did your family buy so much land? Last year, the higher authorities issued a VAT invoice, and all the money from below was taken away. Local people are so poor that they are begging others to buy land. But is the land in China worth looking at? No matter how cheap the land is, you only have the right to use it for 70 years. What's the value? If you have that money, we might as well make some big bets on securities!"

Bei Luqing said calmly, "You are still the secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee. If you want to talk about Wanda, forget it. I'm really not interested recently." "

Lu Qing, think about it again. This amount of money can be equivalent to what we have made in the past few years."

Bei Luqing said indifferently, "Don't play too crazy, or you will get beaten up!"

Lin Ziyang chuckled twice, turned around and said without saying a word, "Xiaofan, it's rare for Lu Qing to come to Tianjin, let's have a meal together!"

Lu Xiaofan glanced at Bei Luqing and said, "No, Brother Ziyang, I have to go to a client today!"

Lin Ziyang sneered and said, "Which of your great clients do you have? Tell me your name, so I can see who you are that I don't recognize?"

Lu Xiaofan had known Lin Ziyang for four or five years, but this was the first time he saw his face, but he remained silent. It was Bei Luqing who said, "Forget it!"

Bei Luqing said and didn't even turn his head back. After leaving, Lin Ziyang patted the roof of his car and said, "Hey, Lu Xiaofan, do you really want to break off with the Bei family?" Seeing that Lu Xiaofan didn't say anything, he laughed and said, "Don't tell me that you, Lu Xiaofan, have lost your temper. I tell you, power is something that people can't live without once they have tasted it. Your family has enjoyed it a lot over the years with you as the son-in-law of a Beijing official. If this privilege is gone, it will not be like going back to the past. It will be like you falling from the top... Puff! You are smashed to pieces, and someone comes up to step on you." Lin Ziyang picked up his leather gloves and threw them on the car door, saying, "Think about it yourself! Let's go!"

Lu Xiaofan looked at Lin Ziyang's car flying away arrogantly, lowered his head and let out a long breath.

However, since then, he has never met Bei Luqing again. Lu Xiaofan didn't know whether Bei Luqing had gone abroad again. He had completely lost contact with the Bei family, so it was impossible for him to learn about Bei Luqing's recent situation from anyone in the Bei family.

Sometimes Lu Xiaofan would wonder if the two times he met Bei Luqing by chance were actually arranged by him. Bei Luqing knew that he had returned to the unit to report on his work, and also knew which bus stop he was waiting for the bus. Maybe Bei Luqing knew where he lived, so he deliberately came here to see the land, but he only thought about it briefly and quickly put this idea behind him.

Because every time he had this thought, the four words that came to his mind were: it's a fool's dream.
