Self-knowledge

30

A few days later, it was the day when Ye Xiang and Zhang Yi had a dinner date, and they still met at the hot pot restaurant. Ye Xiang loved hot pot, and Zhang Yi took special care of him.

Talking about other things during the meal, Zhang Yi was out of shape, making all kinds of jokes to make Ye Xiang laugh.

Ye Xiang didn't quite smile, and the more he ate, the more he felt depressed. He really couldn't figure out what he could do to please Zhang Yi.

I didn't know Zhang Yi very well before, I only knew that he was romantic by nature, with a slick personality, had many friends, and was Lin Jiaxu's partner.Originally, they had several other partners, but they withdrew their capital several years after the company was founded, and only Lin Jiaxu and Zhang Yi remained among the founder shareholders.

The reason for withdrawing capital was that the company’s market data was not good at that time, and the startup salary was burning money. Those few people felt that they could not see any future. There were new investors who were willing to accept the previous shares, and sold them after making a little profit.

It can be said that the company was carried over step by step by Lin Jiaxu and Zhang Yi.

Even so, apart from Ye Xiang's occasional participation in Lin Jiaxu's business and social occasions, he basically had no contact with Zhang Yi in the past two years.

"Isn't the company busy recently?" Ye Xiang asked casually while cooking.

Zhang Yi looked at him with a smile, "Did you know it from your brother or from Lin Jiaxu?"

Ye Xiang paused, "My brother."

Zhang Yi nodded, skillfully put a piece of shrimp slip into Ye Xiang's bowl.

"It's quite busy. Brokers, lawyers, and accountants have all come in to prepare for the listing recently. The boys in the company have been up all night."

Ye Xiang was secretly taken aback. He didn't ask Ye Xin much about Lin Jiaxu's company. Ye Xin is busy these days and the two of them don't have a chance to meet. The phone call before going to bed is still indispensable, and the two have not seen each other since the cruise.

He thought it was because Lin Jiaxu's enthusiasm had faded, but he didn't expect him to be so busy.

Zhang Yi had a good time admiring Ye Xiang's expression for a while, and then said casually, "Lin Jiaxu went out about your breakup, so it's time for you to go out too? Have you considered finding a new boyfriend?"

Ye Xiang frowned, not knowing how to answer his words.

At first glance, the point of this sentence is to ask him if he plans to fall in love, but Ye Xiang listened to the first sentence "Lin Jiaxu has gone out".

Zhang Yi then gave Ye Xiang some blood, smiled and said, "Why, I thought you didn't care. Lin Jiaxu has been very busy recently, and I haven't seen his new boyfriend. I don't know if it's the one surnamed Ji. Woolen cloth."

Ye Xiang still couldn't help asking, "New boyfriend?"

"Yes," Zhang Yi replied firmly, "Recently, I have seen him holding a mobile phone every day—I'm talking about his personal mobile phone, not his work phone. The meeting was forcibly suspended because of this."

Zhang Yi continued to rinse the beef louver, the beef louver was ripe quickly, he put the cooked louver into Ye Xiang's bowl, and Ye Xiang's bowl became more and more full, and he could only get in and out.

"Once I overheard him on the phone. It was really gross."

"I guess he likes his new boyfriend quite a lot. He is eaten to death. No, he was not like this when he was with you before."

Originally, Ye Xiang was not sure enough, but when he heard ten o'clock, he finally let go of his heart, and felt an inexplicable sense of joy and superiority spontaneously.

Ten o'clock every day is the time for Lin Jiaxu to call him.

Lin Jiaxu's new boyfriend finally relaxed, lifted his chopsticks to solve the pile of food, and he didn't know that his face was also full of smiles.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Yi was a little puzzled, as if he didn't expect Ye Xiang to feel like this when he heard these words.

He wondered in his heart, did Ye Xiang really have no idea about Lin Jiaxu?

In order to confirm his guess, Zhang Yi added, "Maybe it's Ji Zeye. Last time..." He stammered, as if taking care of Ye Xiang's emotions, "Last time they were at the wine table in front of the whole table. people kissed."

Then he added annoyedly, "Oh, Ah Xiang, I thought it was wrong at the time. You said that no matter whether they have that kind of relationship or not, in public, other colleagues are also there. This is not good."

"At that time, Lin Jiaxu hadn't broken up with you, right? I saw it in my eyes, and I was anxious in my heart. I will punish myself."

After all, he raised his glass and drank it down.

Ye Xiang smiled and shook his head at Zhang Yi, expressing that he didn't care.

Zhang Yi suddenly fell into Ye Xiang's smile just now and couldn't get out.

He saw that Ye Xiang's fair skin was covered with a layer of red, and there was some sweat on his temples. The spotlights above the restaurant shone the light, and Ye Xiang's eyelashes were so long that they cast a shadow under his eyes, but they couldn't cover up the bright eyes. eyes.

Zhang Yi swallowed, and quickly took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to reduce the fire.

It seems that Ye Xiang really doesn't care.

So, he tentatively said, "Lin Jiaxu is like this, don't you hate him for not being angry?"

"If you want me to say, we all see how well you treat Lin Jiaxu. We have a dormitory in the university, and Lin Jiaxu's living habits are one person worse. I don't understand? Don't look at him now. How much care has been put behind it, can I not know?"

"If you want to say that women can't do what you do now. They are all only children, and they are used to it."

Ye Xiang was silent for a while, but still replied, "Maybe I hated it."

He hated Lin Jiaxu, when he brutally let him go.

"Ah Xiang, since you and Lin Jiaxu broke up, shouldn't some contracts between you two be dealt with?"

Ye Xiang shook his hands and thought, finally came.

Zhang Yi went around for a long time, and finally revealed his purpose.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, Ye Xiang also contributed some capital to show support.Not much, but it was all the savings he saved from working frugally at the time plus the 10 yuan given by Ye Ronggui, a total of 30 yuan.

At that time, Ye Xiang came out to his family, and Ye Ronggui and Cai Zhuo considered it for two days and agreed.Before leaving, Ye Ronggui stopped him, took out an envelope, the envelope was very thin, Ye Xiang pinched it, and inside was a bank card.

"You take the money here. It's the wedding money your parents have saved for you over the years, and it's not much. I thought I could give you a down payment for your wedding room, but now that the house price is so expensive, you can take the money Buy a car, or rent a better house, and don’t treat yourself badly when it comes to food and drink. Live well with Xiao Lin.”

Ye Xiang couldn't bear to tell his parents that 10 yuan could not afford the size of a toilet in the city where he lived, and it would only be enough to buy a license plate if he bought a car.

He also solemnly thanked his parents.Later, when Lin Jiaxu wanted to start a business, Ye Xiang pooled all his deposits and wealth management products, and pooled 30 yuan into shares. This was all his belongings at the time. He remembered that the day when he made the money was in his early 200s, and their salary was usually paid at the end of the month. , There is only more than 2 yuan left in his bank card, and he still owes more than [-] yuan for cash withdrawals on his credit card.

He made several installments for the credit card repayment. In that month, he basically ate green noodles at night. At noon, he would bring rice after the payment of the meal card in the cafeteria. Basically, it was white rice with a stir-fried vegetable.

Later, he was really tired of eating vermicelli vermicelli, so he added some hot sauce to the vermicelli to accompany the meal.

In the first month, Lin Jiaxu didn't know Ye Xiang's predicament at all except going home and going to bed at night after running.

But Ye Xiang didn't want Lin Jiaxu to know the hardships he was going through. In his opinion, it wasn't suffering at all. He could fight with the person he liked and work hard for him, and he would be happy.

In short, although not much, Ye Xiang also invested some money at the beginning of the period to obtain the original stock.Lin Jiaxu refuses to count the money on himself, Ye Xiang paid the money, and Ye Xiang should indeed take the shares, but Ye Xiang usually does not participate in management, and many decisions of the company require the approval of a certain percentage of shareholders. Therefore, at that time, Ye Xiang and Lin Jiaxu signed an entrusted management contract separately, affirming that Ye Xiang's decision-making on the corresponding shares was carried out by Lin Jiaxu.

Lin Jiaxu and Zhang Yi's shares are now evenly matched, and the two basically have the same voice weight. However, Lin Jiaxu's shares include the part that exercises the rights on behalf of Ye Xiang. In other words, if Ye Xiang stands up and says, he will take back the management rights. According to the current shareholding structure, the company's largest shareholder is Zhang Yi.

Ye Xiang stabilized his mind, and planned to pretend to be confused, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yi actually laughed, and stopped going around in circles, and said bluntly, "Since you have broken up, you have to take back your shares? Ah Xiang, do you know how much your shares are worth now?"

Ye Xiang shook his head, he really didn't know, after the money was given out, he handed over the full power to Lin Jiaxu.

In his view, he and Lin Jiaxu are one family and one.

Moreover, he hasn't made any substantial contributions to their company these years. Unlike other angel investors, he doesn't understand or pay attention to whether the company can make money. He just believes in Lin Jiaxu.

Even after breaking up, he was not in a hurry to liquidate the shares with Lin Jiaxu.

Zhang Yi compared a number with his hands, and seeing Ye Xiang's puzzled expression, he simply spoke up.

The amount is larger than Ye Xiang's total wages in these years.

Surprised, he thought, no wonder rich people invest.

Seeing Ye Xiang's apprehensive expression, Zhang Yi asked with a smile, "What's the matter, are you surprised? Of course, I don't recommend you to make a move now. The company is starting the listing process. If the listing is successful, the shares in your hand will The market value can double again.”

Hearing that it could be doubled again, Ye Xiang finally showed a surprised expression.

The spicy hot pot made Ye Xiang a little hot, and his nose was sweating a little. He had almost eaten, so he put away his chopsticks, wiped his face with a tissue, and took another sip of his drink.

Seeing that Ye Xiang didn't answer, Zhang Yi was a little anxious, so he asked again.

Ye Xiang smiled at Zhang Yi, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the table to pay.

After buying the bill, he was in a good mood.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for arranging work for my brother. It's getting late, and I'm going back."

"Ah Xiang—"

He stood up, put on his coat, turned around and said, "Also, it's best not to call me Ah Xiang, Lin Jiaxu will have an idea when he hears it."

"It's time, it's ten o'clock when I get home, and I still have to make phone calls in the evening. So good night, Mr. Zhang."

Ye Xiang nodded to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi first showed a puzzled expression, and then his face turned pale when he heard ten o'clock.
