Li Weidong was leaning in the hot spring pool, with a wooden tray beside him containing a stream of sake.

"It's so comfortable to drink some wine and soak in the hot spring!" Li Weidong said with a look of enjoyment.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, making the wooden floor thump.

"It's An An here!" Li Weidong looked expectantly in the direction of the voice.

Then I saw a head sticking out from the corner of the corridor, it was He Anan.

"Turn around, don't peek!" He Anan said.

Li Weidong immediately turned around and turned his back to He Anan.

There was a sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of water entering the water.

"Can you turn your head around?" Li Weidong asked.

"Turn around!" He Anan's voice sounded.

Li Weidong turned around impatiently and saw He Anan's entire body buried in the water, with only his head exposed.

The hot spring water was not light, but a little white, probably because it was full of various minerals, so He Anan buried his body in the hot spring and couldn't really see anything from the outside.

"How is it? This hot spring is pretty good, isn't it?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's okay!" He Anan replied.

"Fortunately, today is not a weekend. There are only two of us here. If there are many people, you can't let everyone else turn their backs!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"It's up to you!" He Anan snorted coldly: "If there are too many people, I won't go there!"

The two chatted for a while. Li Weidong pointed to the wine glass on the tray and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

"Drink!" He An'an was not polite, swam over, and then reached for the wine glass.

With this action, He Anan couldn't help but stand up a little straighter, and as a result, his upper body wrapped in a towel left the water and appeared in front of Li Weidong.

The towel absorbed the water and stuck tightly to his body, which immediately made Li Weidong a feast for the eyes.

After He Anan took the wine glass, he retracted most of his body into the water.

"This silly girl is so deceitful!" Li Weidong sighed softly, recalling the graceful figure he just saw. He couldn't help but sigh softly, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "You are so well developed."

"What are you mumbling about?" He Anan asked.

"Nothing, I just thought of an idiom when I saw this hot spring." Li Weidong said.

"What idiom?" He Anan asked.

Li Weidong smiled mischievously: "The sea is open to all rivers!"

"What does a small hot spring have to do with the sea?" He Anan asked confused.

"This sentence means I don't care, the key is the next sentence!" Li Weidong thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud. He was worried that He Anan would see through his subtext.

Li Weidong, who felt a little guilty, decided to change the topic and said, "An'an, you will graduate in June this year, right? What do you plan to do after graduation?"

"I originally planned to come to Japan to study." He Anan paused and then said, "But I don't want to do that now!"

"Why? Isn't it good to study abroad?" Li Weidong asked.

"I have never been to Japan before, and I think Japan must be very good. But after I visited you a few times, I am not so curious anymore. I think Japan is just like that!" He An'an replied.

"Then do you plan to continue your studies or work in China?" Li Weidong asked again.

"You should just go to work directly!" He Anan replied.

"Is it still the foreign trade department?" Li Weidong asked again.

He Anan shook his head: "Maybe it's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the Liaison Department of the State Council! After all, I'm studying Japanese, wouldn't it be a waste to go somewhere else!"

"They are all ministries and commissions!" Li Weidong was shocked, and then said, "Then if I want to find you in the future, I will have to go to the capital!"

He Anan hesitated for a moment and then said: "My father's job was transferred to the capital, so I had to move back to the capital."

Li Weidong nodded. He had already noticed that He Anan used the word "move back" instead of "move out".

"This girl, I don't know if I can reach such a high level. It seems I have to work harder!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

…

In a quiet courtyard in the capital city, an old man was sitting in his office, reading a document in his hand.

This document is a report on Japan's economic development.

After World War II, Japan developed into the world's second largest economy in just a few decades. Therefore, Japan's economy has also become the focus of research by economists from various countries.

Since the signing of the Plaza Accord, Japan has begun to buy things all over the world, giving people the illusion that Japan's economy is rising and taking off.

However, the coming to power of one person burst Japan's bubble economy, and that was Yasu Mieno, the newly appointed governor of the Bank of Japan in May 1989.

In just over a year, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates five times in a row, the last time in August 1990.

Five interest rate hikes finally punctured Japan's real estate bubble. After 1991, Japan's housing prices began to fall rapidly, and in the next year, the Japanese stock market will lose 50% of its market value.

Japan was the world's second largest economy at the time. Everything that happened in Japan naturally attracted the attention of politicians and economists from various countries. There were all kinds of hindsight analysis and all kinds of unreliable predictions.

There are also endless ones.

Now, in the hands of this old man, he holds an after-thought Japanese economic analysis report.

"This report feels so familiar. I seem to have read it somewhere before!" The old man's memory is still very good.

The old man frowned and thought for a while, maybe it was too long ago and he couldn't remember it for a while.

So he continued to read down, and some of the above discussions gradually brought back his memory.

"I do have an impression of the content here. It seems to be a report I read a few years ago!" The old man frowned and recalled it carefully, making sure that he remembered it correctly.

"No, that report was from a few years ago, right? But the report in my hand is about Japan's economic situation in the past year! How could this appear in a report from a few years ago!"

The old man thought of this and called his secretary.

"Leader, what are your orders?" the secretary asked.

"I'm looking for a report. It was from a few years ago. I can't remember the exact year, but it's definitely not one I've read in the past year or two. All I remember now is that the content is about Japan's economic prospects." The old man said.

said.

"Okay, I'll check right away!" The secretary nodded and walked out of the office.

All the files that the old man has seen have relevant records. However, there are so many files that the old man has seen every day that it is very troublesome to query them.

Fortunately, there is a special secretariat that does just this. A few hours later, the secretary walked in with a thick stack of documents.

"Leader, these are all internal reference reports on Japan's economic prospects from 1986 to 1989. Please take a look."

"Look for it, the content is similar to this report." The old man handed the fresh hindsight report to the secretary.

This is another time-consuming project.

After a long time, the secretary came to report.

"Leader, I found it. There are three reports with similar content to that report. One is from 1987, and the other two are from 1989. These three reports all said that the Bank of Japan would raise interest rates. Two of them said that the Bank of Japan would raise interest rates.

I mentioned the trend of the Japanese real estate industry." The secretary said.

"Bring them all over!" The old man took the three-point document, and the first thing he looked at was the one from 1987.

"This is what I'm looking for!" The old man let out a deep breath, and then quickly flipped through the document.

As he watched, the old man's expression gradually became serious.

"This was really written in 1987?" the old man asked.

The secretary nodded: "It's from 1987. It has the date and number on it."

"It's amazing! What I wrote four years ago has actually come true. It's not bad at all!" The old man sighed softly. This was much better than the hindsight analysis he had seen.

"The prediction is so accurate, which economist wrote this!" the old man said and looked at the signature.

"Xiao Yuanzheng? Sounds familiar!" The old man frowned and thought.

"Leader, have you forgotten, he is Mr. Xiao's son!" the secretary reminded.

"It turns out it's him!" The old man nodded: "I remember Yuan Zheng, a boy who was very naughty when he was a child. I didn't expect him to have such views on economics! Old Xiao's education is good! I have to talk to Old Xiao.

chat."

The old man picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Lao Xiao, it's me..."

…

Xiao Yuanzheng was called back to the capital in a hurry and went straight to the office of the old man of the Xiao family.

The old man of the Xiao family directly handed the internal reference document from four years ago to Xiao Yuanzheng.

"Did you write this?" the old man of the Xiao family asked.

Xiao Yuanzheng took the document, recalled it carefully, and then said, "I wrote it. If you don't show me this, I will forget it myself!"

"It's well written. All the predictions about Japan's economy have come true!" the old man of the Xiao family said.

Xiao Yuanzheng knew that his old man would not praise others easily, and now that he was being praised by his old man, Xiao Yuanzheng felt very happy.

The old man of the Xiao family continued: "When you go back, write another one. You don't need to write too much, but it should be more detailed. Just like this one, write a forecast of Japan's economic prospects in the next four years."

"What? Are you still writing?" Xiao Yuanzheng suddenly looked bitter: "Dad, how do I understand the Japanese economy!"

"I don't understand? Didn't you write this report four years ago?" the old man of the Xiao family asked.

Xiao Yuanzheng quickly explained: "Dad, have you forgotten? When I went home for the New Year that year, we talked about the trade deficit at the dinner table. I said that I had a friend who had unique insights into Japan's economic prospects. You were

You also asked me to write it down, and this is what I have now!”

"I remembered, there is such a thing!" The old man of the Xiao family nodded: "I said you kid, you don't have the ability to write such a thing."

"Hey, Dad, since I don't have the ability, don't let me write this new report!" Xiao Yuanzheng said with a smile.

But the old man of the Xiao family shook his head: "The report still needs to be written. If you don't know how to write it, it doesn't matter. Go find your friend who understands the Japanese economy and let him write it!"
