Lofty future

It's a bad day.Originally, he wanted to come out to relax and sort out his thoughts, but in the end, not only did he get taken advantage of, but he also had an unhappiness with Chi Xue, adding to his worries.

Is this year's Guxu Road inconsistent with my horoscope?It seems that this time is not suitable for coming.

Suppressing a sense of depression, I headed home.Passing by a bank on the way, with the idea of ​​making more preparations, I got out of the car and asked a manager I knew about the loan.When I really return to Spring Breeze, I should go pick Jasmine up.

There is a child in the family, and people will involuntarily revolve around the child in many things, including planning and feeling about time.

After living with Song Weiran's mother and daughter, I gradually developed a perception: the beginning of a day is to send Jasmine to school, and the end of the day is to pick Jasmine back from kindergarten.

Every day, no matter what happened in the middle, no matter how difficult the problem was, as long as Jasmine was brought back alive and kicking, the day would pass safely and happily.

Thinking of myself and others—Occasionally, I wonder if Xiang Meifang also felt this kind of comfort when he saw Chi Xue and me when he came home from work every day.

Otherwise, why is she working so hard to raise our two worry-free things?

After Song Weiran came back in the evening, we discussed it and decided to suspend the renovation of Spring Breeze.

On the one hand, thanks to Chi Xue, the store has indeed achieved a good turnover this month, the accounts are not too ugly, and I feel that I have found some confidence psychologically.

Song Weiran thought, then strike while the iron is hot, use the joint art exhibition with friends to do a wave of publicity, strengthen the brand image and positioning of Spring Breeze, and increase its popularity.

On the other hand, I have also identified a few friends who can try to contact to borrow money, and some of them have a good attitude.

After all, the two of us won't let the bookstore close next month.

In the days that followed, I was busy interviewing those friends.Eating and drinking, you come and go, but I made a few small sums of money.

It's a pity that for so many years, I have been living in a mediocre way. There are few rich and powerful people in my social circle. What kind of climate can be achieved with the help of ordinary friends?

"Don't worry." In contrast, Song Weiran was much calmer than me, "There are more money and more money in the business, and less money is the support strategy of less money. I have been here for the past three years. Year?"

Looking at her optimistic and cheerful smiling face, I admired her from the bottom of my heart. I clasped my fists in front of Jia Jia and complimented her: "How else can we rely on women to do great things! You women can handle it."

Jiajia smiled and bent over beside her.

Now she is the only employee in the store, and we are all like grasshoppers on a rope, not deliberately hiding the financial crisis from her.Instead, she stayed more at ease than before.

"Brother Cheng, sister Ranran, why don't you ask Chi Xue for help?" After laughing, she asked doubtfully.He glanced around, as if guarding against something.

"Uh, I really want to, but you, Brother Cheng..." Song Weiran looked at me meaningfully, as if it had nothing to do with her, and the blame was all on me.

I just casually mentioned to her about the incident on Guxu Road that day—well, the "casual talk" was pretended, and I wanted to tell her specifically.

Later, she seemed to spend a lot of time, and she didn't know what channels to come up with some explanations.According to those reports, Chi Xue's little lover is probably the son of a tycoon in the film and television industry.

That giant guy is a movie star turned businessman, over half a century old, half his life's emotional life can be described as flourishing, and he can count on one hand the number of female stars who have taken him to and from big occasions.

However, he has countless women, but his child has only one son from his original marriage, who still follows his mother's surname, named Zeng Yuhan.

I don't know if I chose the wrong name, but this young master Yuhan has been manly since he was a child, and his operating conditions are much better than that poor character of the same name in "Dream of Red Mansions".His father likes to engage in female celebrities, so he is used to looking for male celebrities, and he is a famous financial backer in the gossip of the entertainment industry.

From this point of view, the relationship between Chi Xue and him was not difficult to draw.

After hearing this at the time, I was more choked up than seeing Chi Xue acting as a fake social elite, and I must have a bad face.

From then until today, Song Weiran never mentioned Chi Xue's name in front of me.If it wasn't for Jiajia's question right now, this name might become a forbidden word between us for a while.

"How can it be so easy to find?" I pulled the corners of my mouth upwards and smiled, "We have known him since we were very young, and we haven't seen him for many years. Now we are people from two worlds. Find it if you say it.”

"But I heard that Chi Xue is very generous! Brother Cheng, do you know Jing Chen?" Probably because she was sure that I didn't know each other, Jiajia asked while looking for photos on her phone.

"That's it! It's considered first-line traffic now. It was very difficult when I didn't make my debut before. For two years, it was completely helped by Chi Xue. He was going to attend an interview or something, and Chi Xue prepared a full set of famous brands for him. Outfit, the rest of the stuff will be given to him directly. Brother Cheng, do you know how much his outfit is worth?"

"..." I just looked at her and said nothing.

She stretched out two fingers first: "The watch alone costs more than 20 yuan!"

Song Weiran sighed when he heard this.

"The whole set, including clothes, shoes, and jewelry... Oh, and a makeup artist! The makeup artist is Jingjing, whom everyone in the entertainment industry is vying for, regardless of whether they are famous or not. She can earn six figures no matter what! So , the set of outfits that Chi Xue gave must be worth over a million! You see, he gave 100 million very lightly! As long as he supports a little in our store, the next six months... oh, if it doesn't work for half a year, at least This quarter, you don’t have to worry about turnover, do you?”

After she finished speaking, she stared at me with wide and bright eyes.It looks like it wants to persuade me to borrow 100 million from Chi Xue immediately, immediately, right now.

I have to say, after hearing her algorithm, I was really moved.But this little heartbeat was immediately thrown into the ranks of "mean", and then completely abandoned.

When I was 20 years old, I left school early to enter the society. So far, I have done five or six jobs in various ways.The simplest is short-term workers in the service industry, and the most aggressive is the business that goes to the border with others to exploit loopholes.

But facing Chi Xue, I don't want to.

Even if he had mountains of gold and silver in his pocket, I would not ask him to take a coin from it.

There is no strong reason in this, it is all twists and turns that humans cannot avoid.But I don't care if it's right or wrong, or if it looks good, I just don't want to bypass it.

"That's because he took the initiative to give it to others. Others' interests are his business. We have nothing to do with them. Why are you coveting blindly? Alright, let's go to work!"

I waved my hand and signaled Jiajia to go wherever there was work.She curled her lips, the flame of hope in her eyes dimmed, and she also turned over her words as a joke.

After Jiajia left, Song Weiran gave me a "hey" and beckoned me to come closer.

I moved my chair: "Why?"

"It's just..." She hesitated to speak, sighed, hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Are you looking down on Chi Xue? Although he may have a beneficial relationship with Zeng Yuhan now, but the person he was with when he left back then That person shouldn't..."

"Don't talk nonsense." I interrupted her and sat back in my seat. "We don't know the real situation at all. How can I look down on him with such things. These are his own private affairs, and we have nothing to do with them."

"Xiang Cheng, don't you care about him? He is not only a big star far away in the sky, he is also our younger brother!"

"Your brother, he never thought he was younger than me."

"Don't change the subject, just say, do you want to stand in the position of a brother and care about him?"

"..." I opened and closed my lips to speak, and the breath poured into my throat, but everything was blocked again.

I have no idea.I answered Song Weiran like this.

Song Weiran looked at me for a long time and remained silent for a long time.Finally, he sighed and didn't press me any more.She understands that I won't be able to say anything, or even say anything, if we continue the discussion.

In the early years, she commented on me, saying that I am a diamond heart that cannot be opened, a stone that cannot be covered with heat, and a bamboo shoot covered with 180 layers of shells.Every time you peel off a piece, you will find that it is just a slightly tender shell when you think you have reached the core.

She said she couldn't see through me, and didn't understand why I couldn't be more honest with relatives and friends like her.She was very angry about it, especially after she had shown me the most embarrassing side.

I can't refute her assessment.I also couldn't explain her confusion.

Because I really don't know.

Maybe it is true as she said, I am a cold-hearted machine, but I have been educated in human relationships and morals, so I live my life according to these human relationships and morals within a certain range.

Either way, life is worth living.

I have always believed in the law of conservation of luck. If you are unlucky in one aspect, you will gain something in another.Although sometimes the gains and losses are not equal.

This time, it worked again.

After being taken advantage of by the little bastard cousin, breaking up with Chi Xue, and having a slight estrangement with Song Weiran, I suddenly found a real investment fund for Chunfeng Buzui.

The person who gave me a helping hand was the richest person in my network who could be called a friend, named Zhan Yunpeng.

This person is very important in my life.

At the age of 21, the second year after I stepped out of society, due to my lack of academic qualifications, I lost the job I was relying on at that time.

It is an ordinary but decent job. If you are lucky enough to do it now, you may be able to get a good annual salary.At that time, I cherished it very much, and was eliminated by it, and I was at a loss.

Zhan Yunpeng appeared at this time.

We didn't know each other in the bar. At first, we fought against each other, and then we became a team inexplicably in the scuffle. We squatted together in the police station all night, and when we came out the next day, he recognized him as a brother.

In the next three years, I followed him to the border to do business, and earned a huge fortune in my life so far.I didn't come back to Yangcheng until Song Weiran's life was unfortunate and he had no one to rely on.

In the three years since I opened a small bookstore with Song Weiran, I hardly had any contact with Zhan Yunpeng.

On the one hand, I don't quite approve of his business on the border.On the other hand, he is a bit of a quack, thinking that since they parted ways, they don't need to be friends anymore.

This time I borrowed money, but I didn't borrow it from him.But I don't know who said it, but he took the initiative to find it.The words are very clear, that is, Jinpen washed his hands and withdrew from the arena, and wanted to come back to do some regular business.

This is the most common practice among passers-by, including me.

It's just that I have almost defeated all the ones I brought back, but I haven't figured out the right way yet.He came back with dozens of times the accumulation of mine, and he was just about to start.
