The call came faster than expected, and the phone rang before the car arrived home.Chen Yuanming glanced at Zhang Gang who was concentrating on driving in the front seat, and picked up the phone.

"Not home yet?"

"almost."

"Tsk, then let me tell you to listen."

The voice from the microphone was full of resentment, and Chen Yuanming couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"I have to fight a protracted battle at Anxin Headquarters for the next two days. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out when I go home at night. How long can you stay in the capital?"

"It shouldn't take more than 3 days. The stalls in my hometown are not small, so I have to go back and take a look around as soon as possible."

The voice from the receiver froze suddenly, "You have made up your mind a long time ago..."

Chen Yuanming's voice didn't change, "The year is coming to an end, and there are many things at hand, so don't be in a hurry."

This kind of family reunion is obviously not suitable for romance. Chen Yuanming has no plans to stay in the enemy-occupied area for a long time, especially when Xiao Junyi confessed that his uncle had seen the tricks between the two.The risk has long been beyond the acceptable range, so he naturally chooses to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

After a few seconds, a sigh came from the phone, "I would rather you be more anxious."

Although he was aware of Chen Yuanming's concerns, Xiao Junyi was still extremely unwilling.It has not been half a year since the two confirmed their relationship, and it was the time when they were worrying about each other, but they were too busy with work, let alone being together, there were not many opportunities in the same city.Now that I have finally waited for the annual leave, I have to worry about my family seeing the clues. I am worried like a thief, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

This time Chen Yuanming did not reply immediately.

Suppressing the depression in his heart, Xiao Junyi changed the subject, "What about these few days, have you spent all your preparations on 'visiting friends'? See your childhood playmate?"

Even with the somewhat distorted radio waves, it's not hard to hear what Xiao Junyi said. Chen Yuanming slightly raised the corners of his lips, "No, I'm visiting his house."

Seeing people and seeing family members are two completely different concepts.Faced with such a simple and straightforward answer, Xiao Junyi felt relieved for no reason and smiled.He is too aware of Chen Yuanming's countless concerns in this regard, so it is a good thing that he does not have any concerns about others.

"It couldn't be better." Most of the vinegar smell in his mouth dissipated, Xiao Junyi snorted softly, "At this time, I think it's not a bad thing for you to worry about it."

The meaning in the words is too straightforward, almost revealing a bit of complacency.Chen Yuanming smiled helplessly, "Wait for my call tomorrow."

"Well, go home early and sleep, and you will also suffer from jet lag..."

After chatting briefly, Chen Yuanming hung up the phone, glanced at the look of the bodyguard in front of him, stretched slightly, and leaned on the back of the leather chair.

At noon the next day, Chen Yuanming's Hummer stopped in front of the community.

The last time I came here was New Year's Eve.Since it is a newly built community, it is deserted and there are few people, and it looks a bit desolate.This time, even the new year was a little short, and the construction site not far ahead had not stopped working. The passing vehicles and people gathered in one place, making noise one after another, making the surroundings bustling, and finally there was a bit of future life. The grand scene in the four rings.

Standing at the door and straightening his clothes, Chen Yuanming walked in.

During this year, except for a few sporadic phone calls, he really didn't have much contact with Liu Yun's family.One is that he is really too busy, and spends most of his time traveling in other provinces or even foreign countries. On the other hand, he also has the meaning of avoiding embarrassment. After all, the neighbors who had a good relationship with him when he was young are completely different from the boss who invested for himself. Mixed in friendship, it is inevitable that there will be some unpleasantness.

Therefore, Chen Yuanming would rather spend more time to let each other adapt to this change, rather than break it rashly.

No, Sun Qing called just two days ago, and her factory's annual settlement was completed.Last year, the clothing company officially passed the start-up period and entered the profit-making stage. Although the initial advertising and distribution costs were too high, and the net profit was only a few million, Sun Qing was very excited.You must know that this is pure profit, excluding the actual income of infrastructure, personnel salaries, advertising taxes and other miscellaneous items.It is already quite gratifying to have such a result in the first year.

In the new year, the company will devote more energy to the construction of advertising and brand stores, and the distribution method has also been greatly improved.If there is no accident, Chenxi will soon enter people's sight and become a clothing brand with great potential, and the importance of brand effect to the clothing industry is naturally self-evident.

With this premise, Sun Qing's voice was full of vitality.It was also the first time she asked Chen Yuanming if he was still in Beijing for the Chinese New Year.Although he gave a negative answer, Chen Yuanming did not refuse outright, but made an appointment to visit today.

The doorbell rang, and after waiting for a few seconds, the door was swung open.Both inside and outside the door were taken aback for a moment, the one standing inside the door laughed first.

"Finally Ken is back."

It's not stretching out hands to mess up the hair, it's not rushing forward to embrace vigorously, and it's not childishly hooking the shoulders, just standing firmly in front of her, bright eyes full of smiles.After not seeing him for a year, that young man who jumped like a child suddenly became calm, like a real man.

Chen Yuanming was only stunned for a moment, then raised the bag in his hand, and said with a smile, "I even brought you the CD-ROM of Blizzard's new Diablo."

Sun Lang burst out laughing, and reached out to take the bag, "It's not easy for you to still think about this! Hurry up and come in!"

The unfamiliarity of parting seemed to be wiped away by some kind of silent existence. Following behind Sun Lang, Chen Yuanming stepped into this room that he had visited countless times.The windows were still so bright and clean, and they were still so elegant and warm. At the door of the kitchen, Liu Yun was wiping her hands and walking out. When she looked up, she saw Chen Yuanming, and a smile bloomed on her lips.

"Yuanming, you are here! Hurry up and sit here!"

"Aunt Liu."

Facing such a smile without impurities, Chen Yuanming felt warm in his heart. "I've been really busy this year, so I just came to see you now."

"Look at what you said." Liu Yun blamed, "Auntie is not an old woman who doesn't hear things outside the window. I even heard about your big moves in the city. It's really unexpected! But your complexion this year is obvious. It's better than last year, how good it is to be healthy and healthy, and the family is settled now, right?"

"It's all good." Sitting on the sofa by Liu Yun, Chen Yuanming replied with a smile, "My parents have also moved into the new house, and they went to Shanghai for a trip a while ago. Both of them are very happy."

Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then shook her head and laughed, "Look back then, who would have thought of the present day..."

That's right, it's only been a few years, and the days of being pointed at and scolded at the beginning should be gone forever.

Sun Lang took a set of tea sets from the side, and skillfully played with it, "This is Mingqian Longjing, Yuanming, you should also try our new tea."

With the action of pouring tea, the rich tea fragrance diffused in the room, and the water mist transpired, and the smile in Chen Yuanming's eyes became stronger, "Second brother, have you even learned the art of tea?"

Sun Lang showed a smug smile, "Your sister-in-law likes this tune, and our cooking skills are almost level ten now."

If he heard this a year ago, Chen Yuanming might still be a little tangled in his heart, but now, his eyes are as clear as his smile.

"Sister-in-law is really lucky."

"you do not say!"

"Both of your compliments are up to the sky!" After receiving the teacup from her son, Liu Yun smiled and raised her chin at him, "Go and see if your sister is done calling, it's time to eat."

Sun Lang chuckled, and strode towards the side room.

Looking at her son's back, Liu Yun turned her head, "This kid won a first-class scholarship last year. If you work hard, you may still be admitted to the graduate school. Don't worry about it."

"I can tell." The smile on Chen Yuanming's face did not change, "Second brother seems to have changed, much calmer."

"It's time to start talking about a daughter-in-law. Naturally, I should be more sensible." Liu Yun smiled happily, but she didn't say another reason.Chen Yuanming's stimulation to his own son was also very great. After the illness last year, he was as hardworking as a reborn man.That's right, there is nothing more powerful than this kind of comparison between peers, but she, as a mother, is naturally happy to see such a healthy competition.

"Yuanming, you are here!" At this time, Sun Qing also came out of the side sleeper, and greeted him with a smile, "I was on the phone with a client just now, and I was delayed for a while."

"Boss, you should be busy." Chen Yuanming laughed.

"Boss Chen is going to run on people?" Sun Qing scolded, "It's a pity that there are too many orders for customization this year, otherwise Master Wang will cut you a new set of clothes, which will be worn during the Chinese New Year."

"The development effect of the two lines is not bad?" Chen Yuanming asked curiously. He knew that Sun Qing's factory did not pay, but he really didn't know the details.

"Isn't it!" Sun Qing suddenly regained her spirits, "The effect of branding and customization going hand in hand is obviously better, and even those customized customers are inclined to our brand clothing. Last year, we opened two counters in Beijing, so that my mother I take care of the business here, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, not to mention how prosperous the business is..."

As she spoke, a look of pride and a little shyness appeared on her face, "If it wasn't for the year-end inventory, I was sure that I made money, I would be a little embarrassed to say hello to you... Although it is still short of the amount of venture capital you invested , but we can definitely earn it back!"

Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Chen Yuanming smiled, "I still expect Sister Qing to earn 10 times or 20 times, don't worry, take your time."

This sentence immediately caused Sun Qing to raise the corners of her lips, "Isn't it the number one brand in China? Look at me!"

Just sitting around and drinking tea, Sun Lang has already put hot food on the table, "Several big bosses stop quickly, come and taste our craftsmanship!"

Hearing this, several people immediately laughed, got up and came to the dining table.

"It's all new dishes, how about it? It's delicious in color and fragrance!" Sun Lang took off his apron with a little complacency, and showed off to Chen Yuanming.

"Don't say it, the second brother is becoming more and more like a master."

Isn't that right, even the skill of arranging the plates has become more and more particular, it can be seen that this person puts a lot of effort into eating.

"It's your favorite food at home. It's a pity not to be a chef." Sun Qing laughed and scolded, pulling Chen Yuanming to sit at the table, "It's almost the end of the year, you won't be able to stay in Beijing for long, right? Live in the Asian Games Village?"

Chen Yuanming took the bowls and chopsticks with a smile, and nodded, "Yes, I will stay until the 7th at most. There are many things at home, so I still have to go home to deal with them."

"I heard that you have been fighting with the bearing factory recently?" Sun Qing's eyes seemed to be shining brightly, "Can you squeeze them out?"

"Qingqing!" Liu Yun smiled wryly, "What are you talking about!"

"That kind of smoky place, it's better to collapse as soon as possible." Sun Qing snorted from her nasal cavity, "By the way, Yuan Ming, my second brother and I are planning to change our names to my mother's last name. My new His name is Liu Leqing, so his name is Liu Lelang, isn't it a good name?"

Is this going to completely abandon their father?Chen Yuanming looked at Liu Yun who was sitting on the side. Her eyes were full of smiles and pride, and she was no longer bitter or melancholy.

"Good name."

A sincere admiration.After a pause, Chen Yuanming suddenly thought of something, "The cotton spinning factory in the city also plans to go bankrupt recently. Are you interested in buying this factory? Skilled workers, complete sets of equipment, and ready-made land are still worth a lot. It can also be used as a return home."

The three members of the Liu family were all taken aback, and after a while, Liu Yun shook his head, "There is no need to return home, my hometown is not that city anymore."

Sun Qing answered more bluntly, "You can't choose inland cities for clothing. Hangzhou and Shanghai are already the limit. If you go south, you shouldn't go north. The transportation will suffer too much. It is not suitable for our factory at all."

When it comes to serious business, her eyes are full of seriousness, and she doesn't mean to be joking at all. "Yuanming, thank you for your kindness, but we don't need this kind of preferential treatment yet, the same factory, there are more in the south."

This is a genuinely assertive view, not a flippant one.Chen Yuanming's heart stabilized a bit, and he replied with a smile, "My fault, I underestimated Sister Qing."

"You kid, will you test me too?" Sun Qing poked him with a chopstick with a smile, "Hurry up and eat your meal."

Amidst the harmonious laughter, the four of them began to eat.

After dinner, Chen Yuanming declined Sun Qing's invitation to read the annual report. Chen Yuanming followed Sun Lang to the bedroom and installed the CD-ROM on the computer.

"Hey, can you read hundreds of megabytes?" Seeing the new device, Sun Lang's eyes lit up, "By the way, there's a Blizzard store in Beijing recently, and I saw the Chinese version of Warcraft, The Sinicization is very good! Are you going to open a branch here?"

"There are so many fans like Second Brother, so it's natural for businesses to maximize their profits."

"You boy! Then hurry up and upload the CD version, floppy disks are not protected against theft."

"Well, there will be some gradually, and we are preparing to launch our own home console, and there will definitely be more games by then."

"Really?" Sun Lang smiled happily, but shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that there are more courses in the 3rd and 4th grades, and I have to work hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I'm afraid there will not be many opportunities to play games."

Chen Yuanming paused, and finally asked, "Are you really not going home to work? Didn't you say..."

"Go back to squeeze out that old guy's job and leave him without food?" Sun Lang interjected, but his expression did not have the resentment of that day, he just smiled with a little emotion, "I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly I didn't get angry Yes. Life should always be lived for yourself. It is interesting to live wonderfully like you without leaving any regrets. I really like the research and design of electromechanical. This is my own life and should not be wasted for that person. "

His appearance has not completely shed his childishness, he is still very young, with a kind of youthful high-spiritedness.But the stubbornness in the eyes is slowly melting away, turning into a more mature belief.In this way, step by step, he staggered but firmly walked towards his goal.Such a change is wonderful and tempting, but looking at the boy in front of him, Chen Yuanming only feels relieved. He is a good boy and will grow into a good man, but he is no longer suitable for him.

"By the way." Sun Lang suddenly changed the topic, "Aren't you in love, kid?"

"What?" Chen Yuanming was immediately embarrassed by the question, "Is it so obvious?"

"No matter what you say, brother, you are someone who came here!" Sun Lang clicked his tongue, "You can't hide your bright face! How about your brothers and sisters?"

Being poked out in such a straightforward way, Chen Yuanming couldn't help but blushed, and coughed softly, "Very good."

"Oh, I'm shy." It's rare to see Chen Yuanming like this, Sun Lang laughed loudly, and grabbed his shoulders, "Go back and make an appointment for my brother to meet?"

Being embraced, Chen Yuanming paused for a few seconds, and then smiled, "Okay, if there is a chance later, I will definitely..."

Shouldn't he be more frank, even if it's just to the friends around him...

Eating, chatting, and playing around was like an ordinary day for an ordinary person. After staying at Liu Yun's house for a few hours, Chen Yuanming finally got up to leave.As soon as he walked downstairs and bid farewell to the two people who were seeing him off, he took out his PHS and dialed a most familiar number.

"Have you got off work?"

"Call me so early." The voice on the other side was a little surprised, "It's just the finishing touches. I'll ask the queen mother for leave today, and I can go find you later!"

"Can you run out now?" Chen Yuanming frowned slightly.

"It's fine if you don't stay overnight. I've already greeted Police Officer Liang. Someone must be covering me!"

"There are still a lot of backers." Chen Yuanming smiled, "Where are you going? Give me a charter..."

Following the voice in the receiver, he stepped out.
