"I don't want to tell you. ”

Facing Tang Zifeng's questioning, Ning Mo replied frankly.

The two of them will be sitting in a food stall in the food street next to the People's Square in Linhe City, with more than a dozen skewers in front of each person, and half a case of beer at their feet, drinking and chatting.

"Why don't you tell me?" said Tang Zifeng in surprise.

Ning Mo picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of it, and then put down the glass, not in a hurry to pour the wine, but looked away with his eyes, and said faintly: "Beibei said, I can't always rely on you. ”

"What are these words!" Tang Zifeng said dissatisfiedly, "She won't be jealous of your relationship with me, right? You didn't tell her that I was not interested in men and would not become her rival in love." ”

"Cut!" Ning Mo gave Tang Zifeng a middle finger to show his disdain, in fact, he still learned this action from Tang Zifeng, and it can be regarded as treating him in the way of others.

"Beibei and I went to look at the house, and she chose a two-bedroom apartment of 52 square meters, saying that with the money of the two of us, she could just buy it. I took a fancy to a three-bedroom apartment of 85 square meters, she was too expensive, so I told her, don't worry about the money, I can borrow some from you first, and then pay it back slowly. Ning Mo said.

Tang Zifeng waved his hand: "What else to pay back, isn't my money your money, who are the two of us?"

That's what he said, but he also knew that after everyone got married, money matters would definitely not be as casual as when they were single. Ning Mo said that if he borrowed money from him, he would naturally have to repay it in the future, but the time to repay the money could be delayed a little longer. Ning Mo took the dividends of Lijia Supermarket, even if he borrowed hundreds of thousands, he would repay it in a few years, which should be the reason why Ning Mo dared to say that he lent money.

Ning Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I said the same thing to Beibei, I said that I am as good as a person with you, and it must be no problem to borrow some money from you." Your business in the capital is so big now, even your wife is very good at making money, and it is not difficult to come up with hundreds of thousands. ”

"yes. What did she say?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Ning Mo said: "Beibei said, your money is yours, no matter how much, it is not my money." She said you're a good person, and she believes that if we were going to borrow money from you, you wouldn't say anything. However, if we borrow money from you, we will not be able to be friends again. ”

"This ...... , not so much. Tang Zifeng was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ning Mo was simple-minded, thinking that he and Tang Zifeng were iron buddies in high school, and he never thought that there was any difference between the identities of the two, and he would not feel that there was anything wrong with borrowing some money from Tang Zifeng. Zhang Beibei is an outsider, but because she is an outsider, onlookers can see the inequality in the relationship between Ning Mo and Tang Zifeng, as well as the hidden worries that this inequality may bring.

Ning Mo regarded Tang Zifeng as a friend, and Tang Zifeng also regarded Ning Mo as a friend. But Ning Mo is an ordinary fitter and has a little money, but it also comes from the shares of Yicheng Supermarket that Tang Zifeng gave away. Tang Zifeng is the executive deputy director of Linyi Machine, and everyone knows that the word "deputy" on his title will be removed in a short time, and he will become the veritable leader of Linyi Machine.

In addition, Tang Zifeng also has a large industry, even if Ning Mo doesn't know the details, but with the situation he described to Zhang Beibei, Zhang Beibei can also estimate that this industry is at least at the level of tens of millions.

The gap in identity and wealth is certainly not enough to become an obstacle to the relationship between Ning Mo and Tang Zifeng. But if Ning Mo has to count on Tang Zifeng to help him in everything, his daily expenses are the dividends of the supermarket, and he has to borrow money from Tang Zifeng to buy a house, then can Ning Mo still stand up in front of Tang Zifeng? After a long time, the relationship between the two will inevitably degenerate into a relationship between the leader and the vassal, and it is indeed difficult to be friends with all sincerity as in the past.

Zhang Beibei knew that Tang Zifeng was a good person, and she also knew that he took care of Ning Mo as a little friend with no ambitions. Ning Mo enjoyed this feeling of being taken care of by Tang Zifeng, in fact, when he was in high school, he had always been taken care of by this top student at the same table, and he didn't feel anything wrong with being taken care of by Tang Zifeng at all.

But Zhang Beibei's idea is different. The reason why she fell in love with Ning Mo was that she felt that Ning Mo was a hardworking and capable man, and she didn't want her man to stand half a short in front of others, so when Ning Mo claimed that she could borrow money from Tang Zifeng nonchalantly, Zhang Beibei categorically stopped his attempt.

"But, fat man, it's a big loss to buy a two-bedroom apartment of 52 square meters. In the future, if you give birth to a child or something, you won't be able to live at all, and you will have to change rooms again. Tang Zifeng persuaded from a different angle.

Ning Mo said: "We have changed our minds and will not buy a house for the time being." ”

"If you don't buy a house, you won't get married?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"We're living well now. Ning Mo said a little shyly.

In the early years, Linyi machine had good benefits, and built a lot of houses in the factory, and single workers could also be assigned to one person in a tube building. After Zhang Beibei came to Linhe to work, she lived in Ning Mo's dormitory, which Tang Zifeng knew. Nowadays, the social atmosphere is already very relaxed, and no one will say anything about this practice of living together before marriage.

"You don't have to suffer yourself like this. Tang Zifeng said, "Fatty, I can lend you some money first, and you can pay me back in the future." If you don't want to go, you can give me some interest, such as nine out of thirteen or something, I don't mind. ”

"Not really. Ning Mo said, "We don't buy a house now, it's not all because of money." In fact, Beibei can also borrow money from her relatives, isn't there a way to get a mortgage now, let's get together, pay a down payment, and buy a 100-square-meter house can also afford it. ”

"That's a way to do that, too. Tang Zifeng nodded and said. Borrowing money from the bank, although the interest rate is a little higher, can avoid the inequality problem that Zhang Beibei worries, and it is also a viable option.

Ning Mo said: "Beibei told me that to be a man, you must learn to be self-reliant. Later, I pondered it for a few days and decided that she was right. Your old Tang is the same as me, you are from the countryside, why can you make such a big business and become a factory director. I can only rely on your help, and I have to leave your relationship even to help my wife find a job. ”

Tang Zifeng took a breath of cool air and said unhappily: "Fatty, what do you mean by this?

Ning Mo waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I mean to say, I'm not as smart as you Tang Shuai, but I'm also a person who has been nurtured by you for so many years, even if I'm a fool, I should be a little spiritual, right? Actually, even if you don't come to me today, I'm going to find you, I want to resign and start a company, can you help me with my staff?"

"Resign and start a company!" Tang Zifeng was so shocked that he almost lifted the table, "Fatty, what are you stimulated?" Wait, tell me first, what company do you want to open, won't you want to learn from Huang Liting to open a supermarket?"

"Of course not. Ning Mo said, "How can I do business, I have been apprenticed with Master Rui for the past two years, and I have a bit of a specialty in machine tool assembly." I want to open a machine tool maintenance service company by myself, specializing in helping others repair machine tools, and I can also do it if I encounter those small machine tool factories in towns and towns and need to find someone to help assemble machine tools. ”

"Have you discussed it with Zhang Beibei?"

"Of course I discussed, and she supported me. ”

"You're alone?"

"No, Lai Taotao also has this plan, the two of us want to work together, Beibei can be our accountant, and be responsible for taking over the business. Tao Tao found a girlfriend who could work as an administrator in the company. ”

"It's a double mom-and-pop shop opened by two young couples. ”

Tang Zifeng understood. Ning Mo said that Lai Taotao is also a fitter of Linyi Machine, and Ning Mo is a classmate in technical school, because of Ning Mo's relationship, he and Tang Zifeng have also eaten together more than a dozen times, which is very familiar. In the past two years, the wages of workers have risen several times, and skilled workers such as Ning Mo and Lai Taotao have been able to get more than 1,000 yuan in wages a month, and they can reach the well-off standard in Linhe. However, if you plan to get married and buy a house, then this salary is very tight, and Lai Taotao may also have the idea of going to sea for this reason.

"Old Tang, do you think there is a drama in this matter?" Ning Mo asked timidly.

Tang Zifeng asked rhetorically, "What do you think of yourself?"

Ning Mo said: "I think there is a play. Last year, in order to dismantle the platform of Dongyuan Company, Han Weichang took me to help a private factory in Jingnan, and I met a group of private bosses. In their factories, there are no skilled workers, and sometimes when they encounter a little technical problem, they ask their father and grandmother to find someone to help them everywhere.

"I thought at the time, if we could set up a department to help these small factories, even if the fee was a little higher, they would be happy to come out. Their technical problems, in my eyes, are nothing at all, and it doesn't take much effort to help them solve them. ”

"Why haven't you told me about this?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Ning Mo said: "I told Han Weichang, and he said that my idea is not reliable. Let's take a machine, a dignified state-owned large machine tool enterprise, how can there be a reason to give a small private factory. I thought he was right, so I didn't tell you. ”

"Well, that's exactly what happened. Tang Zifeng said, and then asked Ning Mo with a smile: "Then you will keep this idea for yourself?"

Ning Mo said: "I didn't plan to do it myself. Later, Beibei persuaded me to be self-reliant, and I thought, isn't opening my own company to be self-reliant? I don't know how to do business, but I can repair machine tools, so I will open a company that repairs machine tools, and I can still make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. ”

"It's a good business. Tang Zifeng said. There are millions of machine tools in use in the country, and countless machine tools need to be repaired every year. Some machine tools have passed the warranty period, if you find the original manufacturer to repair, you need to pay a lot of money, if there is a maintenance company, a few hundred yuan can help repair it, the user is definitely willing to accept.

Also, even if it is a machine tool within the warranty period, some machine tool factories are not willing to send people to repair it for a small failure, if you can find a maintenance company in the local area, please ask this company to repair on your behalf, you can also save a lot of money.

Thinking about it this way, opening a machine tool maintenance company, the business should not have to worry, whether it can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, it is not yet judged, but at least it will not lose money.
