What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 4: The Oath of Alliance
Zhong Zhiling signed a dating contract, almost broke up with his girlfriend, confirmed that his investment had gone bad and he had to follow his senior brother to start a business...

He returned to the dormitory that night, feeling very confused and wanting to shout, but everything that had happened that day blocked his throat, leaving him lying on the bed with only a sobbing sound.

Sleep for a while, cry for a while, sleep for a while, cry for another while.

My classmates and friends are doing internships, some are looking for jobs, and my dormitory is filled with endless loneliness and sadness.

Zhong Zhiling woke up in a daze and washed his face with cold water. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he suddenly fell into hesitation and fantasy. What if the American senior had his own reasons? What if he transferred the money back after a while?
With this thought in mind, he muted his phone, went to the laboratory as planned, and numbly continued to warm up for his upcoming first year of graduate school.

Hold your breath and concentrate, and your worries will gradually fade away.

Zhong Zhiling has never been so focused before, as if he is immersed in the ocean of learning.

boom!
The door of the laboratory was pushed open.

Zhong Zhiling looked back blankly and saw his senior brother Yu Xing walking in quickly.

Yu Xing glanced around the lab and saw that there was no one else. He also saw that his junior fellow was still observing the petri dish in front of the incubator. He couldn't help but get furious: "Why didn't you answer my call? Why are you still here doing nothing?"

"Ah? I..." Zhong Zhiling didn't expect to be questioned like this and was dumbfounded for a moment.

No, Brother, you are my brother, I...

This...

Who is the right job after all?
Yu Xing walked to the incubator in a hurry and asked, "Are you still harboring fantasies?"

"I..." Zhong Zhiling stammered and couldn't speak.

"Did you call Yu Xuhui this morning?" Yu Xing asked again, "From yesterday to today, has he called you back?"

Zhong Zhiling shook his head. He neither called nor received a call back.

Yu Xing stared into the eyes of the unfortunate man and said word by word: "I called! But his phone was still turned off! The Yu guy has probably already run away! Don't have any illusions about the Yu guy!"

Zhong Zhiling stared at his senior brother blankly, and suddenly whispered: "My surname is Yu, senior brother, your surname is also Yu..."

"These are two different things! Besides, I want to escape later, but that's for the future. I have to get through this hurdle now!" Yu Xing raised his voice, "I'll ask you one last time. If you can't be confident, then just keep reading your book!"

Zhong Zhiling was about to cry again: "Brother Xing, don't force me..."

Yu Xing didn't say anything, but just stared at the junior brother in front of him. After staring for five seconds without seeing any response, he turned around and left.

Zhong Zhiling's hesitation and fantasy were finally shattered by such an action. He chased after his brother for two steps and grabbed his brother's arm as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, confirming that this was the right place to go.

"Brother Xing, I'll do it!"

Yu Xing turned around and pointed in the direction of the incubator: "Take out the culture dish."

Zhong Zhiling didn't understand what was going on, so he carefully took out the culture dish from the incubator.

The cultured cells in the petri dish are very fragile and can be easily contaminated, which requires starting over.

"Take out mine too." Yu Xing instructed again.

Zhong Zhiling still didn't understand what his senior brother wanted to do, but he followed his orders.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Yu Xing snatched his own culture dish, took out a pen from his pocket and scrambled the cultured cells into pieces.

Zhong Zhiling lost his voice and said, "Brother Xing..."

Yu Xing threw the petri dish and pen onto the table and pointed at the pen without saying a word.

Zhong Zhiling looked at his senior brother, then looked at the culture dish in his hand. Finally, he took the pen with a ruthless heart and also scrambled the cultured cells inside.

He cried as he stirred. This stirring meant he followed his senior brother and betrayed his master. This stirring meant his future was bleak...

Yu Xing was already somewhat used to his junior brother crying, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, today we will swear an oath of alliance and must find a way out!"

Seeing that his junior brother didn't answer, he felt like trying to get more motivated, so he encouraged him, "Let's make a million this year!"

I messed up the cultured cells and vowed to make a million this year!

Zhong Zhiling stopped crying and looked up at his senior brother: "What about the remaining debt? Didn't your family invest 5 million?"

Yu Xing pursed his lips. What a bad luck! He kept bringing up all sorts of issues!
He replied unhappily: "Of course I'll earn the rest slowly!"

Although he felt that there was some hope, Yu Xing did not set too high a goal for the dating contract project. As long as there was money coming in and as long as he could get through this period, time was still on his side!
Zhong Zhiling looked at the two petri dishes on the table, then looked at his cold-hearted senior brother, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

He asked the leader: "Brother Xing, what should we do now?"

"Call your girlfriend, and I'll think about how to implement this project. In the afternoon, come with me to ask about the policy to support college students' entrepreneurship. You are a graduate, and I am a student, so maybe you can be helpful in this regard." Yu Xing arranged everything one by one. "Tomorrow, go see Lao Liu to see if I can take a leave of absence or keep my student status."

When Zhong Zhiling heard the second half of the sentence, his throat couldn't help but move, but he didn't raise any objections.

From yesterday to today, he has discovered that his senior brother is very goal-oriented and proactive in doing things, which is much better than himself.

Yu Xing sat down, and seeing that the unlucky guy was still confused, he pointed at the petri dish on the table and said, "Throw it away."

Zhong Zhiling held two disposable culture dishes and stared at the mess of cultured cells on them. He felt that his future was also messed up like them.

He threw away the petri dish with great hesitation, turned his head to look at his senior brother who seemed to have devoted himself to his career as if nothing had happened, silently took out his mobile phone and called his girlfriend Lu Haiying.

Zhong Zhiling reported his plan to his girlfriend with trepidation. He did not mention the financial failure, but only exaggerated his optimism about his senior's career.

Fortunately, from yesterday to today, I finally received some good news, my girlfriend agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Zhiling happily shared the news with his senior.

"Well, she will most likely agree." Yu Xing said casually while thinking, "If you don't study for a master's degree, most of the problems between you will disappear. If she doesn't take the exam again, you will also enter the society. Whether she returns to her hometown is another matter. At least, the two of you are in a similar situation."

The smile on Zhong Zhiling's face suddenly froze.

Then, he was furious and said, "Brother Xing, what do you mean? Why are you trying to sow discord? Are you trying to cheat me of the 500? Don't you want to pay me back my rose?"

Yu Xing looked up in astonishment, looked at his junior brother, and changed his words: "Well, well, okay, okay, it's like this, Lu Haiying believes in you unconditionally, and firmly supports you because of your feelings. She has never thought about it that way. I was wrong."

Zhong Zhiling's anger was like a balloon with a hole in it, and it suddenly deflated.

He was stunned for a long while, feeling flustered and sad: "She, would she think like this? How could she be like this? Shouldn't we both hope for the best for each other?"

"What's wrong with thinking for yourself? Love yourself first, then love others." Yu Xing said, "Besides, who can define what a better future is? Didn't you tell her that our project is good and has great potential?"

"I was... I was..." Zhong Zhiling said angrily, "I was just doing it temporarily. I'm going to find an excuse first!"

"You lied too, OK, we're even, don't think too much about it." Yu Xing ended the topic. Zhong Zhiling felt mixed emotions, and suddenly found a loophole in his senior's words: "Brother Xing! You said I lied! You also think this project is not good and has no potential, right?!"

"Of course not." Yu Xing replied calmly, "Because you said it wrong. You should have said that our project is very good and has great prospects. It has won the favor of customers as soon as it was launched and quickly won orders."

Zhong Zhiling asked in surprise: "Are there any orders?"

Yu Xing pointed at the unlucky guy and said, "You are the one."

Zhong Zhiling: “…”

He sat dejectedly on the chair and said helplessly: "Fuck! Brother Xing, you really confused me!!!"

Seeing that his senior brother didn't say anything, Zhong Zhiling complained again: "Brother Xing, why are you so cruel? You are so strange now that it's scary!"

After hearing this, Yu Xing thought for a few seconds, turned around and looked at the unlucky guy, and said earnestly: "Zhi Ling, I found that you haven't changed your mentality and identity yet. Of course, this is not your fault. Objectively speaking, it is difficult to ask you to change quickly, but I have to say..."

"It's not that I'm cruel, it's that we are all facing extremely realistic problems right now."

"Your money, my money, is gone, and we have a big financial hole that needs to be filled."

"You must change your mindset and identity as soon as possible, otherwise you will only face a more cruel reality in the future."

Zhong Zhiling listened to his senior brother's declarative narration and looked at his calm and even cold eyes, feeling a chill down his spine.

Yu Xing sighed and said, "Otherwise, Zhiling, think about it, if you don't work with me, or if you suddenly know the news, what will you do?"

Zhong Zhiling was silent for an exceptionally long time this time, and finally shuddered. The wind on the rooftop must be very strong, and the water in the lake must be very deep...

He gulped down a large glass of water, looked at his silent senior, and said what he felt in his heart: "Brother Xing, I have never done any projects or started any business. I am just afraid... can this be done well?"

Yu Xing did not answer immediately, this is indeed a problem.

In fact, he was thinking over and over again about the situation and direction last night. The love contract that he had initially verified on his junior fellow student had a prototype, or two types: one was insurance from an insurance company, and the other was a commercial contract from an ordinary company.

The former was once famous, and the latter also claimed to have received more than 10 orders. He was once a potential customer in his dream. He decided to buy a house because he was dating a girlfriend who loved to try new things.

Whether it is an insurance company or an ordinary company, the product is the same product. The difference is that the former has a stronger credit endorsement and is easier to gain the trust of consumers.

Yu Xing did not set a high goal for the "love contract". He was not obsessed with going public, nor did he think he could make tens of millions or hundreds of millions. He just wanted to make a small profit from light asset operations. After all, nowadays, no one has no money, no technology, and no resources, but his financial management has collapsed.

If it can alleviate the impending crisis a little, or at least give the family something to look forward to, that would be good.

If the dating contract shows no signs of success in the short term, then you can only try other things while carrying the debt. However, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent have been developing for many years and have projects in well-known fields. If you want to achieve something, you may have to start from the vertical segments.

For example, with the booming development of e-commerce, a price comparison website might become popular.

At worst... grow grapes!

Yu Xing's emotions had calmed down, and he really considered a way out by growing grapes. However, he did not just go back to his uncle. Instead, he introduced a new variety that later became very popular - "Sunshine Rose Grape".

This is a variety native to Japan. After being introduced into China, it was once sold for hundreds of yuan per pound and was known as the Hermes of grapes.

Yu Xing felt that if nothing could help, then drinking a sip of this soup would be enough. It didn’t matter how rich he became, as long as it was better than the original situation.

But if you want to do these things, it’s better to have some money on hand, and you need to have a source of fresh water first.

He carefully set his inner expectations, and considering his junior brother's hesitation at the moment, he slowed down his tone and made a promise that would not be fulfilled: "Zhi Ling, I don't know if I can do it well. Let's do this. If there is no improvement this month and there is no hope, then be your little blue pill."

Zhong Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief. His senior brother didn't really have to plunge headfirst into this love contract.

He was about to nod when he was suddenly stunned. No, I didn’t say I had to make little pills!

"After lunch, call your girlfriend and ask her to help us mobilize our friends. This month, we'll see if we can create some momentum among the student community." Yu Xing has already started the next topic, "If we can't even attract the sentimental college students who are in their graduation season, then we should quickly switch tracks."

"Brother Xing, from your tone, are college students so stupid?" Zhong Zhiling tried to make a brief excuse.

"Zhi Ling, they are not stupid, but their eyes are clearer at this stage." Yu Xing said seriously, "We are all studying medicine. I think we can look at our customers and our business from a more realistic perspective."

"What is love?"

"The brain secretes phenylethylamine, which can make people excited, speed up their breathing and heartbeat, make them fall in love at first sight, and make them fall in love."

"When two people fall in love, dopamine is secreted in the body, making them happy and satisfied, and they want to be together every day. But unfortunately, it comes and goes quickly, and it will not stay at a high level in the body forever. On average, it only lasts less than two and a half years."

“The decrease in dopamine takes over, and endorphins take over, lowering anxiety and increasing feelings of stability and warmth.”

"In addition, there are vasopressin, norepinephrine, serotonin... all of them work together to complete the process of love."

"Let's not mystify it. Let's look at it more materially. What do you think?"

Yu Xing depicts love under the influence of human hormones.

Zhong Zhiling shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Xing, you attribute love entirely to the effects of hormones, which is too realistic... You can't be so realistic about everything. If you say that, then everything has to be so realistic."

He didn't have the courage to say it so bluntly, but Yu Xing understood.

It is nothing more than looking at love with this realistic logic, and also looking at projects and interpersonal relationships with the same thinking...

Yu Xing smiled slightly: "I am just describing a perspective to look at it. I actually still believe in love. As for other things, whether it is this project or the little pill you want to make, everyone should talk about interests when it is time to talk about interests. Don't be polite when encountering problems."

Zhong Zhiling was a little embarrassed and a little surprised: "Brother Xing, are you serious?"

"Of course, starting a business doesn't need to be so polite or so gentle. Public is public." Yu Xing said seriously, "We both owe each other money. If you find out that I want to run away with the money, you can just break up with me. Don't be polite."

Zhong Zhiling was embarrassed by his senior brother's straightforward statement of his concerns, but he still nodded based on the bleak current situation: "Senior brother, if you say so, then we are the kind of people who are mean first and gentlemen later. If that ever happens, you can't blame me for being realistic."

"What are you talking about? Let's go. We have to get busy today." Yu Xing stood up and said nonchalantly, "Go ask about the policies this afternoon. I'll let you be the legal representative of our company later."

As they walked, Zhong Zhiling asked, "Why me?"

Yu Xing replied simply: "You are the one, OK."

Zhong Zhiling nodded without asking any more questions: "Oh."

He walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, looking at his brother who turned back in confusion, and said seriously: "Brother Xing, I'm not really going to do Xiao Yaowan, I'm just desperate to try any possible means."

"I understand. I know you have good character. Let's go now." Yu Xing understood, "If you didn't have good character, I wouldn't let you be the legal representative."

Zhong Zhiling let out a breath and followed the pace, hoping that his senior brother would not misunderstand him.
