"Master, this is your part, I brought it to you this time. After Song Qiaoshan and Hu Mingchen chatted about his study, Hu Mingchen took out an envelope and put it on the coffee table.

Song Qiaoshan looked at the envelope, then at Hu Mingchen, and frowned: "What do you mean?

"Master, you misunderstood, how could I buy you, I don't have that need, I don't have the guts, this is not buying you at all, and I can't buy you. Hu Mingchen avoided causing misunderstanding and hurriedly explained.

"Then why give me money? Thank you for my help in the first year of junior high school? If so, it is not necessary, I am doing my duty, if it is your family who makes the mistake, I will not be merciful, and I will do the same according to the law." Song Qiaoshan's brows did not stretch.

"Master, no matter how much you think about it, it's not, this is the dividend you won. When the rain washed away my house, didn't you help me with a sum of money? I told you at that time, that money is your investment in the cinema. Since it is an investment, there will be income, and if there is income, there must be dividends, and this is the dividend you win. Hu Mingchen said.

Song Qiaoshan reached out and picked up the envelope, opened the seal, and saw that there were three or four thousand yuan in it, and the thumb of his right hand slid it on the banknote, he stuffed the money back into the envelope and threw it in front of Hu Mingchen: "You take it back, it's a gift, not an investment, so the so-called dividends have nothing to do with me, I remember that I never promised." At that time, your family suffered a disaster, and I, as your master, should help me, but if it becomes the current money, no matter what name it is, the meaning will change. You take the money back yourself, I won't ask for it. ”

"Master......"

"Don't say it again, if you take the money back, then you can call me that in the future, if you don't take it back, don't call me Master again. I take this money, we become partners, that's all. Moreover, party members and cadres are not allowed to do business, and the central government has long had regulations, and you are asking me to violate the regulations. You can do it. Song Qiaoshan said with a calm face.

Hu Mingchen looked at the envelope, a little at a loss, and didn't know whether he should put it back in his pocket.

Of course, Hu Mingchen was willing to destroy the relationship with Song Qiaoshan, and he thought that if the money he gave him was turned into an investment, the relationship might become even closer.

However, Song Qiaoshan gave him a lot of money after all, if he didn't get anything in return, Hu Mingchen wouldn't be happy.

"Xiao Chen, do you know what kind of relationship can last for a long time?" Seeing that Hu Mingchen didn't move for a while, Song Qiaoshan asked him in a soothing tone.

"I don't know. Hu Mingchen shook his head.

"Let me tell you, a simple and pure relationship lasts the most for a long time, and once there is an entanglement of interests, the relationship will be added with complex factors, and there is a possibility that it will be destroyed by interests at any time. My comrades-in-arms, even if we don't see each other for a few years, the relationship between us back then will still be fresh and strong, but if I have a financial exchange or promotion with them, our relationship will deteriorate and depreciate. I told you just now, some relationships should have a degree, don't think that anyone can buy them. If our relationship was just a mentor-apprentice relationship, it might last decades, but once it becomes a co-investment partnership, it is not known that it will break down tomorrow. Song Qiaoshan taught earnestly.

Song Qiaoshan said this, if Hu Mingchen didn't get the money back, it might affect Song Qiaoshan's opinion of him.

"Master, I see, thank you. Hu Mingchen shrank his hand and took the money back into his bag, and said sincerely.

"It's good to know, to be a person, a qualified person, you should have a sense of gratitude, but you can't be too worldly. If you feel that someone has helped you, there are many ways to reciprocate, and you don't have to take money. Song Qiaoshan continued.

"Well, I remember. Hu Mingchen nodded honestly.

"Hehe, just remember, if you're hungry, let's go, I'll take you to the door to eat. I can't cook, so I can't entertain you at home. Seeing that Hu Mingchen accepted them one by one, Song Qiaoshan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

From the very beginning, there was a huge disparity in status between Song Qiaoshan and Hu Mingchen, including Hu Mingchen's family, so it was impossible for him to make friends with Hu Mingchen, or get close to Hu Mingchen, there was no relationship between him and Hu Mingchen, and he donated some money to Hu Mingchen, and he didn't think about anything in return.

In Song Qiaoshan's view, if you give it, you will give it, and now it is impossible to receive any investment dividends.

From another point of view, if Song Qiaoshantu is a dividend of investment income, then he can invest more, and he will agree on the proportion of rights and responsibilities with Hu Mingchen, and he will definitely not give it at will.

"Hehe, I'm really a little hungry, when I got out of the car, I saw a dumpling shop opened by northerners across the road, let's go eat dumplings." Hu Mingchen was not pretentious, touching his stomach and smiling honestly.

"Save money for me, think I can't afford to invite you to eat something good? Song Qiaoshan joked.

Hu Mingchen did have the idea of saving money for Song Qiaoshan, so much money Song Qiaoshan didn't collect, how could Hu Mingchen be embarrassed to let him spend more money. Two bowls of dumplings, that is, more than ten yuan, save money, and it is relatively forbidden to be hungry after eating.

However, Hu Mingchen did not continue to insist, he was still interested.

Song Qiaoshan led Hu Mingchen to a hot pot restaurant he was familiar with, and the two had a hot and fragrant bacon hot pot.

After eating, Hu Mingchen was going to the station to take the train back to Duge, but Song Qiaoshan stopped him and said that he would take him to buy a winter coat.

"Master, no need, if I want to buy it, I will buy it myself. You didn't even want the money I gave you just now, but now you want to buy me clothes, isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Hu Mingchen said with a half-joking smile.

"That's different, you are my junior, and it is reasonable and legal for me to buy you a piece of clothing, which is completely different from the nature of the money you gave me. Song Qiaoshan said.

"Master, Du Ge is not cold, just go back, now your apprentice is also a small rich man, if you want to buy a piece of clothing, you have the ability to be completely independent. If one day I don't have the ability, you can buy it for me again, hehe. Even if Song Qiaoshan made sense, Hu Mingchen still refused.

Now Hu Mingchen is also a self-respecting person, and he has thousands of yuan on him, in this case, Hu Mingchen really has no reason and psychological excuse to accept Song Qiaoshan's clothes.

Seeing that Hu Mingchen still refused, Song Qiaoshan did not insist, he noticed that Hu Mingchen's self-esteem was still quite heavy.

It was because Hu Mingchen was a very self-respecting person that he received his favor, and now he wants to double his favor. In other words, if you can owe favors, Hu Mingchen is unwilling to owe favors.

This is similar to Song Qiaoshan, he can accept some small gifts from Hu Mingchen, but the money is absolutely not accepted.

After separating from Song Qiaoshan, Hu Mingchen walked quickly to the county bus station and caught the shuttle bus back to Duge Township.

......

Two days after returning from the city, Hu Mingchen's sister and three siblings signed up to study.

In the past, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai were the most worrying stages, because not only were the registration fees for the three children lacking, but they might not be able to get the stationery fees for buying pencils and notebooks.

At this stage, the two adults were worried, Hu Mingchen and the three children were in the same cold mood, other people's children were happy to go to school, and they didn't know if their parents could borrow tuition on time.

This year, the situation has not only changed dramatically, but can even be said to have been fundamentally reversed.

Hu Mingchen not only took the registration fee to the school by himself, but also gave his sister Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao 20 yuan each to buy the stationery they needed.

Wearing new clothes, carrying a new school bag, and carrying money in my pocket, I was in a good mood to go to school to enroll.

As soon as Hu Mingchen arrived at school, he became the most popular figure in the class.

Now Hu Mingchen not only has the best academic performance in the class, but everyone knows that his family has opened a movie theater and can make money very much.

The economic base not only determines the superstructure, but also determines a person's interpersonal relationships. Now so many people are willing to have a good relationship with Hu Mingchen, of course, it is closely related to the fact that his family's conditions are very different. Otherwise, even if Hu Mingchen is still the first in the class, there will still be some people who are not interested in him.

It's like now, if you have a good relationship, you can't help but say good things about Hu Mingchen, and it's hard to hear it.

After being surrounded by everyone and asking a lot of questions, Hu Mingchen was able to get out of the crowd and went to the office to find Ma Yi to report.

"Hu Mingchen, I heard that you were injured during the Chinese New Year. As soon as they met, Ma Yi was the first to say with concern.

What happened on the first day of the Lunar New Year had too much impact, and almost everyone in Duge Township knew about it, so it was reasonable for Ma Yi to know that Hu Mingchen was injured. It's just that I didn't expect her to show such concern as soon as we met.

"Thank you Mr. Ma for your concern, I'm fine, I didn't suffer any serious injuries, but my parents were injured. Hu Mingchen said.

"That's good, I heard that something happened to you, and I'm still a little worried about you, but now I am relieved to see that you are intact. Ma Yi said with a smile.

When I heard that something was directly related to Huang Guohua, Ma Yi scolded Huang Guohua in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't favor Huang Guohua and his son Huang Xiaoyang too much before, and now it seems that his previous actions were still correct.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ma, I should give you a New Year's greeting during the New Year, but ...... I went to the city two days ago and brought you a small gift, I hope the teacher will accept it. As he spoke, Hu Mingchen took out a small black box in the shape of a long strip and put it on Ma Yi's desk.
