CHAPTER XLIV

Qiao Xiangdong and Liu Zhibin soon signed a contract with Yiyi to increase capital and invest in Ningxing Group. Qiao Xiangdong invested 18 million yuan, and Liu Zhibin invested 12 million yuan. At Liu Zhibin's suggestion, Yiyi successively convened the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors of Ningxing Group, added Qiao Xiangdong as a director, and appointed Lin Junnan as the president of the group.

Liu Zhibin flew back to Shenzhen the next day. Qiao Xiangdong was entrusted by Liu Zhibin to stay in Ningjiang for two more days, made a comprehensive combing and planning of the strategic operation level of Ningxing Group, and formulated a development path to achieve the listing goal in three to five years. After that, Qiao said goodbye to Lin Junnan and Yiyi to the east and returned to Hangzhou.

Before leaving, Joe Xiangdong solemnly handed them a small box. It was a square, small, delicate jewelry box.

"This is a gift from me to you! not only as my belated congratulatory gift to your newlywed, but also as my sincere wish for the future development of Ning Xing!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Lin Junnan and Yiyi said in unison.

"You don't want to open it and take a look?" Qiao Xiangdong's expression was a little funny.

Lin Junnan opened the jewelry box, which contained an old coin with a face value of one yuan.

"Yes, it's only this dollar! You don't think I'm stingy, do you?"

"It must have a story!" Mr. Lin said.

This coin has been with me for almost 30 years, and I always carry it with me. Qiao Xiangdong smiled bitterly, lit a "big front door", and spit out a smoke ring.

"My experience was much harder than yours! I didn't go to college. Since I was a child, my family conditions were not good, so after graduating from high school, I had to look for a job everywhere. At that time, earning a little salary and being able to eat with a mouthful of food was already my greatest satisfaction! I learned electric welding, burned boilers, and drove forklifts. Later, I felt that I made too little money as a worker in the factory, so I took a leave of absence from pay and left my job, setting up a stall outside, running and transporting or something. After three or four years of mixing like this, I finally had a little savings, so I cooperated with someone to open a trading company, and it was very fast to do this business at that time. However, I was unlucky, and the company quickly collapsed...... At the end of the liquidation, I lost almost everything!"

Qiao Xiangdong seemed to fall into deep memories. He took a puff after puff until the spark of the cigarette butt burned to his fingers, and he didn't seem to feel anything. Lin Junnan and Yiyi sat quietly opposite him, and no one interjected, as if they were afraid of interrupting the memories of the person in front of them.

"Do you remember the way you saw me in Shenzhen?" Qiao Xiangdong looked at Lin Junnan, his eyes were full of self-deprecation, "In fact, when I was at my hardest, it was really like that!"

"Have you really been a beggar?" asked Lin Junnan.

"Yes, I really begged from passers-by!" Joe took out another cigarette and lit it, taking a big puff. "For a while, I was penniless, I couldn't find a job, so I had no choice but to beg for help...... However, I only got this one dollar!"

"This coin...... Did you beg for it?" Yiyi asked weakly.

The clouds on Qiao Xiangdong's face gradually began to dissipate, and his demeanor became relaxed. "Yes, I begged outside a restaurant for most of the day, and I only got this one yuan -- it was given by a child! I just wanted to buy a steamed bun to satisfy my hunger, but this restaurant said that one dollar could not buy steamed bread, they sold cream steamed buns, which cost 16 yuan per serving; even a bowl of white rice cost 2 yuan a bowl, and I couldn't afford it! So, I had to continue to wait, wait! Maybe people saw that I was young and able-bodied, so why didn't they support myself and beg here? So, except for that child, no one paid any attention to me all day! They didn't know that I was forced to do so because I couldn't find a job and was hungry, and I didn't want to beg for a living...... That's where this coin came from! Thankfully, the next day I finally got a job and my life started again!"

Yiyi let out a long sigh: "I can't believe that you have experienced such an encounter!"

"Then the story doesn't make sense! It's just a personal effort and a little luck, and in short, life is getting better day by day. Later, I had some spare money, just in time for the stock market to rise, and I made money quickly when I invested in it! A few years later, I started trying to realize my dream of starting a business again. But this time I changed my mind and didn't run a company myself, but invested in a company that I was optimistic about. Somehow, after that ordeal, my luck began to improve, and several companies I invested in were listed one after another, which was simply amazing! Although money is nothing to me now, I always carry this coin with me. You should know what it means to me!"

"This is your lucky charm, and you're willing to give it to us?" Yiyi asked.

"This coin has already been deeply seared in my heart! This time, I am fortunate to be able to transform Ningxing and create a better future with you as a loving couple, which is the most challenging and meaningful thing in my Qiao Xiangdong's investment career! Therefore, I hope it can also bring luck to you and Ningxing Group!"

In a high-quality community in the central area of Futian, Xu Youhua and Xie Yafei found Sun Kai's home.

In the past, every time Concubine Xie went on a date with Sun Kai, it was in a hotel or her own accommodation, and Sun Kai never led her into the house. Sun Kai's reason is that Sissi is at home every day, which is inconvenient. Concubine Xie never asked Sun Kai where he lived. Therefore, this time she went directly to Sun Kai's house to find him, and it was inevitable that she had some embarrassment and scruples in her heart.

It was Sissi who opened the door for them. When Xu Youhua explained her intentions, her hostile eyes also kept staring at Concubine Xie Ya. She already felt something in her heart: Sun Kai's woman outside must be Concubine Xie Ya!

Qian Qian greeted Concubine Xie Yafei with a blank expression, and then turned around and went back to the bedroom. Concubine Xie followed Xu Youhua into the living room.

The living room is designed in a minimalist European style in black and white, reflecting a strong sense of fashion - the cleverly conceived TV wall, classic and elegant fabric sofas, and elegant floor-to-ceiling curtains all highlight romance, warmth and luxury. However, with the strong smell of smoke coming to his nose, and seeing Sun Kai with unkempt hair, a depressed expression, leaning on the sofa and smoking, all the good things dissipated without a trace in an instant.

The ashtray in front of Sun Kai was already full of long and short cigarette butts, and the coffee table and carpet were also full of cigarette ash. When he saw Concubine Xie Ya coming, he lazily rolled his sleepy eyes, and said hello to her.

Concubine Xie couldn't believe the scene in front of her at all. After a few days of not seeing, Sun Kai has almost changed into a person! In him, the original chic and domineering spirit has disappeared, and only malaise, anxiety, and exhaustion remain.

"Yu Xiaojun will be in Shenzhen in the evening," Xie Yafei said, "haven't you told him about the 'Adventure Island'?" he was very angry. There is also that Mr. Meng, who has already given Feixiang an ultimatum. What the hell do you think now?!"

"Mr. Yu is going to Shenzhen tonight?" Sun Kai seemed to have taken a shot in the arm, but he still couldn't lift his spirits, "What is his opinion?"

"He wants to see what you think. Did you call the police?"

Sun Kai kept shaking his head and muttered: "I have asked someone to privately find a friend from the Internet Police Detachment, and they said that this hacker is very powerful, he not only injected viruses into the server, but also destroyed the traces of intrusion cleanly." Now it's hard to find evidence of hackers in the server, let alone digging them out!"

"How can hackers break into our servers so easily? Didn't you say you installed the 'Great Wall' system?"

"Alas, it's bad that we've been using the 'Over the Wall' version of the 'Great Wall', so I can't call the police!" Sun Kai said with great annoyance, "Actually, I have long planned to replace this system, but I haven't done it...... So, unless we find that hacker, we're going to die!"

"Then how do you explain to Yu Xiaojun?"

"How do I know how to explain it?!Alas, I can't imagine that after flying for more than a year, it will end up like this!" Sun Kai sighed.

"If this matter is not handled well, it will directly affect Feixiang's B round of financing!"

Sun Kai pondered for a while with his head in his hands, and said weakly: "I hope Yu can always have a way to deal with it." Yafei, can you pick him up at the airport? I have a headache, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive. You arrange for Yu to stay at the general manager first, and I will see him later. ”

"You're not going to see Meng Donglai?"

"I didn't want to see Mr. Yu before I met him. ”
