On the last day of 2000, at midnight, Geng Zhiyuan and Su Qing stood on the balcony and hugged each other and looked at the night sky. The winter sky was cloudy and gray, and there was no shadow of a star in sight, Su Qing muttered: "Zhiyuan, I miss my father, he must be watching me from the sky." ”

Geng Zhiyuan saw that she was pitiful, and hurriedly hugged his girlfriend's body, and comforted: "With me by your side to protect you, my father-in-law will definitely rest assured." ”

"Hmm...... Do you know why my dad named me Su Qing?"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "Isn't that simple? My father-in-law must have admired Su Wu and admired his integrity, so he named you Su Qing." Because Su Wu's surname is Su Mingwu's name, Ziqing. ”

Su Qing was so impressed that she fell to the ground, shrunk into his arms and said, "I really found the right place for you, how did you guess so accurately? Could it be that Dad sent you to me?"

His girlfriend is delicate and infinitely cute, Geng Zhiyuan couldn't help himself, bowed his head and kissed her, and said: "This is called fate, many people have fate, and the two of us have fate and share." ”

"Well, I'm really looking forward to marrying you early and giving you a baby. Su Qing's cheeks blushed and said, "It's really hard for you to wait for me for four years." ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled knowingly and said: "Yang Guo has been waiting for Xiaolongnu in the Valley of Despair for eighteen years, and four years for me is not too much." ”

Su Qing happily snuggled in her boyfriend's arms, and suddenly said, "Zhiyuan, can you play a song for me?" ”

Geng Zhiyuan pointed to the clock on the wall: "It's past twelve o'clock, and the neighbors will have opinions." ”

"Alas, what a pity. Su Qing sighed: "This situation is the most suitable for blowing the song "The Love of My Life". ”

"I'll hum it to you. Geng Zhiyuan said, humming softly the song "The Love of My Life".

On the first day of the new year, Lin Chu and his sister and brother invited Geng Zhiyuan and his family to dinner, and the location was chosen at the newly opened Zuihuju Hotel.

"I'm sorry to let you break the bank again, it's time for me to invite you. The four of them met, and Geng Zhiyuan said politely.

Lin Zhen smiled: "Brother Geng is still so polite, we are a shareholder gathering, and we spend the company's money, so you don't have to remember the favor on me." ”

Lin Chu sarcastically said: "The company's money can't be spent indiscriminately, you are suspected of rubbing the company's oil when you say this." ”

"My sister is worthy of being a staff member of the office of a large enterprise, and she buttoned me a big hat when she opened her mouth. Lin Zhen laughed.

Geng Zhiyuan understood that the two of them invited themselves to dinner today must have discussed the company's affairs, and immediately said, "Lin Zhen, how are the company's formalities?"

"Almost, it should be able to be done by the end of the year. Lin Zhen pondered: "It will probably open after the New Year, why don't we set a date for opening today?"

"Are all the personnel ready?" Lin Chu said uneasily.

"The backbone is all together, and now there are two units talking to me, and we will do these two orders first as soon as the procedures are completed after the year. Lin Zhen said in high spirits.

Geng Zhiyuan turned his head to Su Qing and said: "Lin Zhen made a big deal, rented a big yard in the southern mountains, and took a group of young men to train every day, and managed all of them militarized like troops. ”

Lin Zhen touched his head and said embarrassedly: "The suggestion made by my guys, our company must establish strict rules at the beginning, and after forming a good atmosphere, it will be easy to manage later." ”

Geng Zhiyuan praised: "What people say makes sense, the company is the same as people, if you form good habits at the beginning, it will be beneficial to the growth of the company in the future." ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "Brother Geng, don't praise me first. Today, while my sister is here, I have to ask you, where did you learn this kung fu? Even the fighting master Lao Liao was knocked out by you, and his skills are not simple!"

"What?" Lin Chu frowned and said, "Zhiyuan is fighting with someone again?"

Su Qing was embarrassed: "Sister Chu Chu, he did it for me." ”

Lin Chu glanced at her dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Since you know that you have a fairy face, there are some places you can't go, and some people don't want to provoke." Zhiyuan can fight again, if there are three long and two short, what can I do?"

Although Lin Chu's words were ugly, they were reasonable, Su Qing blushed and said, "It's me who is not good, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Geng Zhiyuan couldn't watch his girlfriend being wronged, and hurriedly defended: "This matter has little to do with Su Qing, a rich guy wants to snatch love with a knife, and insists on courting her in front of me, do you think I can agree?"

"Oh, and there is such a faceless?" Lin Chu sneered: "How rich are you?"

Lin Zhen hurriedly said: "A southern barbarian, who is in business at home, doesn't know what his surname is when he has a few stinky money. ”

"Southerners?" Lin Chu pondered: "Most of the people in the south who do business and make a fortune are unruly, what if they take revenge this time and spend money to buy murder to retaliate against you?"

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to worry, I have already figured out the details of that kid, an outsider, he doesn't have a very hard relationship with us, he doesn't dare to retaliate against Brother Geng." ”

"That's not going to work either. Lin Chu taught step by step: "Listen to the second uncle, the punishment for fights and brawls will become more and more severe in the future, those who win will go to prison, and those who lose will go to the hospital." Therefore, in the future, we must not fight, otherwise we will be punished for fighting, do you say that you are wronged or not?"

Lin Zhen also nodded and said, "The eldest sister is right, the cost of fighting in the future will be higher and higher." ”

"But ......" he admired again: "Brother Geng handled it very rationally this time, and he took advantage of others, and there are so many students who are willing to stand up and testify for you, so don't be afraid even after you arrive." ”

"That's why the students of the Art Academy have a sense of justice, and Lu Jian is unwilling to speak up for me. Geng Zhiyuan said modestly.

"That's right. Lin Zhen hurriedly said: "Having said so much, you haven't said who you learned kung fu from?"

"I learned a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu with my dad, and there is nothing to say. Geng Zhiyuan prevaricated.

"You're too modest. Lin Zhen pouted and said: "Liao Tiannan has won the gold belt of fighting several times in the local area, and his kung fu is not ordinarily good, but I didn't expect it to be planted in your hands, so I don't believe what you said about three-legged cat kung fu." ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled faintly and said, "When it comes to fighting, I am definitely not Master Liao's opponent." But if it's a life-and-death fight, he's not necessarily my opponent. Because I'm going to fight hard, and he won't, it's as simple as that. ”

"Oh......" Lin Zhen said thoughtfully, "I seem to understand a little." It's like when I was in the army, I practiced those grappling fights, because they were all hurtful moves, so I couldn't use them in the ring, so naturally I couldn't beat Master Liao. But on the battlefield, he may not be an opponent under the sacrifice of his life. ”

Geng Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said: "You are seeking a living, he is making a living, and if you have the intention to fight or not, naturally you can't compare." ”

When the wine was over, Lin Chu stopped Su Qing alone and said: "Xiao Su, as the saying goes, a virtuous wife and a husband have few troubles, if you really want to be good with Zhiyuan, try not to cause trouble for him in the future." ”

Su Qing blushed and said, "Sister Chu Chu, I know, thank you for the reminder." ”

Lin Chu stared at her beautiful face and looked at it again and again: "Alas, you are so good-looking, how can those lustful disciples give up? Forget it, you can do it yourself in the future." ”

On the way home, Geng Zhiyuan saw that Su Qing had been silent, and wondered, "What did Lin Chu tell you, why are you so unhappy?"

Su Qing shook his head and said, "No, Sister Chu Chu is very good to me." ”

"And what are you?"

Su Qing smiled indifferently and said, "I'm thinking about things...... A few days ago, my teacher introduced me to a director and wanted to invite me to play a supporting role in a movie. ”

"Making a movie?" Geng Zhiyuan shuddered in his heart, he had already heard how muddy the water in the entertainment industry was, if Su Qing stepped into the entertainment industry, the fate of the two people would probably come to an end.

"I'm ready to turn him down. Su Qing grabbed her boyfriend's arm and said, "Sister Chu Chu is right, I can't make trouble for you." If I go to make a movie, we will be separated for a long time, and we will be estranged in the future...... I'm afraid we can't be together. ”

"But ......" Geng Zhiyuan glanced at her and said, "Making a movie is a good opportunity to become famous, won't you regret it?"

Su Qingwan smiled and said: "What do you regret? I came here to marry you, what's the use of being famous? If I am famous, I may lose you, so I won't be stupid." ”

"Qingqing!" Geng Zhiyuan was moved: "I'm not worth your future." ”

"Phew!" Su Qing chirped: "I won't tell nonsense, you will be happy if I don't film." ”

was exposed to the mask by his girlfriend in person, Geng Zhiyuan said embarrassedly: "Tell the truth...... I don't want you to film, that circle is too complicated, I'm worried that you will suffer. ”

"Don't worry about it for me, you still have to think more about what these companies in your hands should do this year, right?" Su Qing reminded him in one sentence, a whole year has passed, a lot of big things happened in 2000, and he has added a few more investments, it's time to do a good year-end summary.

When he got home, he went to the study, sat down at his desk, turned on the computer, and began to calculate the current year's accounts in an Excel sheet. Su Qing intimately brought her boyfriend a cup of tea, and quietly closed the door of the study when she went out.

Last year, the salary, subsidies and bonuses received from the design institute totaled about 60,000 yuan, creating a record high. The dividends of the three restaurants in Yuxiang Restaurant add up to nearly 350,000 yuan, of course, from this year onwards, only two stores will be able to bring him profits, and the amount will be much less.

From April to August, the pot base brought by his mother-in-law created a huge income of about 70,000 yuan or 80,000 yuan for him in just four months. The total income of the above items has reached an incredible 490,000 yuan for the whole year.

"My God, I earn close to 500,000 yuan a year!" Geng Zhiyuan secretly said happily.

Unfortunately, the joy did not last long, and his face became more and more ugly as the expenses were calculated.

Cooperated with Lin Chu to set up Chuyan Condiment Co., Ltd., and he invested 300,000 yuan in share capital. Since the principal could not meet the needs of equipment procurement, all the income in the five months after the opening was invested, which means that he has not earned a penny since the opening.

"It's hard to do business, and a lot of places to spend money can't even be imagined before. Geng Zhiyuan stared at the account and sighed.

Geng's Catering and Entertainment Company, which was co-founded with her cousin Geng Yan, has basically completed preparations and is ready to open after the year. In November, Geng Zhiyuan paid the 200,000 yuan share capital he promised to contribute, and he was also ready to temporarily transfer Qin Fang to serve as the head of the finance department.

In addition, I bought a building in the third phase of the lakeside beauty community, daily expenses, loan repayment, etc., and the total expenditure for a year has reached more than 590,000 yuan. The two offset each other, and the year-end net income turned out to be negative.

Thanks to the Zhenyuan Security Service Company co-founded with Lin Chu's sisters and brothers at the end of the year, and the Yuanyi Catering Company co-founded with Lu Yi, they all solved the problem of capital preparation through mortgages, otherwise Geng Zhiyuan really didn't know where to raise so much money.

worked hard for a year, not to mention that he didn't make any money, but he also found tens of thousands. Geng Zhiyuan looked at the bill and sighed: "The boss is really not good." ”
