Chapter 1 I Have a Gold Mine!
It's getting late, and if you look down from the highest point of the city, you can see a building with a huge mercury lantern, many young men and women in and out of fine clothes, the red and blue light on their faces looks psychedelic, and then you can listen with your ears, you can feel the roar of dozens of supercars at the door and the manic sound of the building.
It's the most famous nightclub in the East End, which opened at the same time as the Olympics four years ago and is still a landmark in the city.
Unlike the people who are high in the sky inside and outside the venue, Zhao Dongyang on the luxury booth is numbly drinking, glass after glass, and it seems that he can't see the more than ten beautiful women around him.
"Don't look like you're broke. The person who said this was Zhao Dongyang's good buddy Wang Peng, and he put his hand on Zhao Dongyang's shoulder, "There are so many beauties, what are you doing." ”
"It's not you who left the company, besides... My dad was able to let me leave the company, which showed that he was ready to give me nothing, and I guess I would really be reduced to the middle class in the future. Zhao Dongyang fantasized about his bleak future, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
"Leave the company? Wang Peng picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"He made it very clear that he wouldn't let me take care of my family's business, let me go to a place called West Lake Town, do you know this place? I don't know...... It's a mountainous area," Zhao Dongyang sat up from the sofa, "I'll tell you, I checked on the Internet, and the GDP of this place in a year... I don't think it's as high as this nightclub, so what is this for, let me go to help the poor. ”
"Uncle must have his own plans, Dongyang, I'll say a few more words, it's been 2 years since you graduated, think about whether you are working or playing in your father's company, I feel that the two of us get together more often than when we were in school, it will definitely not work like this, you just listen to your father, he must be good for you." ”
Zhao Dongyang stood up suddenly, pointed at Wang Peng's nose, and said, "You fart, he just wants to leave the company to my brother, okay, since you say the same, let's not contact each other!"
"Zhao Dongyang, your special meow's temper has come up again, right?" Wang Peng was not to be outdone, and yelled at his back.
"Never again!" Zhao Dongyang left without looking back.
Zhao Dongyang pulled away the various men and women blocking in front of him with one hand, and covered his ears with the other hand to fight against the high song, he wanted to escape from this environment quickly.
Probably only when a person calms down does he know how noisy his surroundings are, Zhao Dongyang suddenly began to be disgusted by these sounds around him, he didn't know why he was so fascinated by these things in the past.
Zhao Dongyang came to the central park in a car, looking at the scattered night runners, he felt comfortable physically and mentally, so he asked the substitute driver to stop the car, and then put down the back of the chair and lay down.
Zhao Dongyang entered his father Zhao Jihua's real estate company as soon as he graduated, and under the influence of his father, he also always wanted to become a real estate tycoon, so when he first entered the company, Zhao Dongyang was still very active. He worked hard to be familiar with the company's business and master the administrative process, but his father has always been cold to him, he was not allowed to speak at important meetings, and he was introduced to him at dinner with his partners.
However, his elder brother Zhao Lei is his father's right-hand man, whether it is the company's external publicity or business negotiations, from strategic public relations to employees' holiday benefits, he does it himself. In the eyes of the company, Zhao Lei is the only heir.
Zhao Dongyang is not angry about this, he is not jealous of excellent people, he is angry that his brother is only five years older than him. You're better than me, okay, no problem, what? You're about the same age as me, you're still better than me, no!
"Am I really that bad?" Zhao Dongyang often falls into this kind of self-questioning and self-answering, and often his answer is: "Yes, you are so bad." ”
Zhao Dongyang was lying uncomfortable, he stood up and lay on the steering wheel, and in the next second, the sharp horn sound shattered Zhao Dongyang's inner drama.
You can't get along with me with this broken car, Zhao Dongyang decided to go home first and talk to his father, since you want to die, you let me die, what are you doing when you throw me in the mountains.
When he arrived at the door of his home, Zhao Dongyang couldn't see ten o'clock, which seemed to be the earliest time he had returned home in more than a year.
After Zhao Dongyang asked the substitute driver to park the car, he went up from the first floor, and heard the sound of the TV in the living room on the first floor on the stairs, and it seemed that everyone in the family was there.
"My son is back. The mother was always so excited when she saw her son, Tian Xiaoling came over excitedly and pulled Zhao Dongyang to sit down.
"Brother?" Zhao Dongyang found that his brother was not at home.
Zhao Jihua had a stiff expression, "Your brother is on a business trip, you, you finally went home today." ”
Zhao Dongyang rolled his eyes, took the pillow and hugged it to his chest, and said, "Ah, don't you have a new arrangement for me, I still decided to come back and listen to it." ”
Zhao Jihua picked up the remote control board and turned down the volume of the TV, turned his head to look at his son: "Don't let you stay in the company, do you have any ideas?"
Zhao Dongyang roared past a thousand Cao mud horses in his heart, your company, you don't want me to treat me, what else can I think, what ideas do I dare to have, you have to let me say what I think, I can only say that I want to be the boss.
Zhao Dongyang still kept his smile: "Dad, you still say what are you asking me to do in that mountainous area." ”
Zhao Jihua obviously doesn't plan to start a new topic, "You said you graduated, I asked you to go to the grassroots first, go to the construction site to exercise first, you don't go, you have to be under your brother, your brother's current work is focused on overseas markets, you can't even read a foreign language, how to carry out your work, ah, after staying for a week, you came to me to change jobs, and you want to go under me, you yourself say yes." ”
"I, what foreign language is not smooth, I still passed the fourth level, mainly because the words on the information that my brother showed me are all not in the fourth level vocabulary, what can I do. Zhao Dongyang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"You can pull it down, and then I'll transfer you to me, let Secretary Yang take you, and break the photocopier on the first day." Zhao Jihua pouted, took the remote control board, and changed the console angrily.
"I can't really blame this mechanical thing, when Secretary Yang uses it, you can copy anything at will, as soon as I use this broken machine, he is either jammed or no ink, I just beat it with my hand, how do I know it will be broken...... It's broken. Zhao Dongyang shrunk his neck, a little embarrassed.
"You push the machine again, well, even if the machine has been used for a long time, it will just break down when it comes to you, it's none of your business. Then after the high-level meeting, how do you explain that your Uncle Zhou's hands were burned?" Zhao Jihua looked at Tian Xiaoling and gestured: "The old Zhou is 60 years old, fortunately, nothing major happened, and now the index finger of smoking is unstable." ”
"Hahaha, this matter is indeed sorry for Uncle Zhou. Zhao Dongyang recalled that day, Secretary Yang said that people in the high-level meeting don't like to drink mineral water and drink those cooler things, so they prepare tea, and a few people drink it relatively quickly, so you have to refill the water in time, especially Vice President Zhou, he loves tea the most and drinks it quickly. Zhao Dongyang has been staring at his Uncle Zhou's refill, and when he refills the water again, Vice President Zhou signaled with his hand not to drink, but Zhao Dongyang's trend of refilling water has not been recovered, and a wisp of hot boiling water is poured on Vice President Zhou's hand.
That day, the mournful screams in the conference room became a source of gossip for colleagues who ate melons. Some people say that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhao fought, but Mr. Zhao couldn't fight, and used boiling water as a weapon to win, and some people said that Mr. Zhao secretly watched Mr. Zhou unhappy for a long time, and instructed Xiao Zhao to scald him as a reminder.
"You're embarrassed to laugh, you're in your twenties, you're still so improper, and you still treat your work with a playful attitude, you were born in a wealthy family, if you lived in a thatched hut, I think you would have woken up a long time ago, your brother was as old as you, and he could already elaborate his plan at a high-level meeting, what about you. Zhao Jihua looked at his youngest son and hated that iron could not become steel.
His father's serious demeanor made Zhao Dongyang very uncomfortable, and he lowered his head and did not speak.
Tian Xiaoling saw that the atmosphere of the conversation was deadlocked, and started a round: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, at least our Dongyang is not a bad boy, I think that's enough." ”
Zhao Jihua opened the conversation at this time: "Xihu Town, it is the place where your father and I used to struggle, there was no money at that time, I heard that the salary of being a driver in the Daluogou gold mine was high, so I went, first drove a big trailer to help transport ore down the mountain, and then the car became smaller and smaller." ”
Zhao Dongyang interrupted his father's words and said, "The car is getting smaller and smaller? ”
Tian Xiaoling scraped Zhao Dongyang's nose with her hand, "Silly son, the smaller the car is, it means that it was pulling mines before, and now it is pulling people." ”
Zhao Jihua said with a smile: "At that time, the mine office was looking for a special car driver, and the team captain saw that I had good driving skills and good people, so he asked me to drive for the leader. ”
"Ah, Dad, you still have such a history, why haven't you said it before. Zhao Dongyang asked stupidly.
"I'm miserable to tell you this every day, I don't like frustration education, so for your brothers, I try to create a rich living environment for you, your brother seems to be suitable for this kind of education method, but your current appearance, I think this kind of education method is not good, you still have to teach according to your aptitude, you are still more suitable for frustration education. Zhao Jihua said very formally, as if educating everyone.
"Ah, Dad, you won't let me be a driver, it's easy to herniate a lumbar disc, and you know that I can only drive an automatic car, I'll drive ......" Zhao Dongyang's voice became smaller and smaller, being a driver is actually not so unacceptable, but compared with his own identity, the gap is too big, how will he face his friends in the future.
"Forget it, you think the driver is so good, tell you, I bought the gold mine in Xihu Town, you go, run this mine well, you don't disagree with your brother, you just do some good results, let's shut up." Zhao Jihua removed the pipe from his mouth, his eyes were like torches, and his eyes seemed to say, son, I am optimistic about you.
