It's a cold winter, but for Li Muye, in the weather of minus 25 degrees, as long as Zhang Na is there, everywhere is full of sunshine and warmth.

The memories of growing up together for nineteen years, the former family affection, once transformed into love, and the surging passion made the two young people dizzy. Although he did not break through the last line of defense, he still enjoyed himself like a fish in water. Compared with the matchless adultery with Meng Fanbing, this is the real love life.

The good feeling is always short and timeless, and Zhang Na's winter vacation ended soon and she stepped on the southbound train. When he said goodbye, his godfather Zhang Li patted Li Muye's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Cherish your young time, no matter where fate takes you in the future, it is always the most precious memory worth cherishing." ”

Li Muye was puzzled, but there was a meaning in his godfather's words that recognized the relationship between him and Nana. This made him so happy in his heart that he intentionally or unintentionally ignored another layer of meaning in Zhang Li's words.

After the New Year, Li Muye is twenty years old, guarding the small Internet café in infinite melancholy and longing, looking forward to the arrival of the summer vacation soon.

"Have you heard? Our factory is going to cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen to develop a joint-stock system. A young worker in an Internet café said to his companion during a break in the game.

Another person: "I have long heard that the public-private partnership, the registered workers must be shares, one dollar and one share, at least 5,000 per person, otherwise they have to buy out the laid-off, the whole factory has a total of 10,000 people, according to this calculation, the maximum can raise more than 50 million, this money is enough to transform the No. 2 furnace workshop, Zhang Da flickered and said that he wanted to fight a turnaround battle, I think it is mysterious." ”

Zhang Da flickered is Zhang Li, about the joint-stock system in the factory, Li Muye has also heard about it, the canteen, as a directly subordinate unit of the organ, has even held a mobilization meeting. The 5,000 yuan raised for shares has long been prepared, and as Nana's boyfriend, he naturally has to unswervingly support this matter.

Nowadays, attracting investment is a major event in the country. The special steel plant is a key enterprise formed after the merger of three factories in the city, and such a joint venture project has naturally become a key project in the city. It's been spread up and down. Li Muye, as Zhang Li's godson, has no intention of paying attention to these at all. In addition to his irregular work, the rest of the time is in the Internet café to pay attention to the arrival of summer.

Internet cafes are doing better than expected, and the charm of this thing is simply irresistible in this old industrial city where entertainment life is relatively scarce. The Internet fee of four yuan an hour is expensive every day, but the 50 machines in the Internet café are full every day. There are always players waiting in line shouting at the boss to leave me the machine.

In the first month, Li Muye calculated that the cost of selling 50 computers was 400 yuan a day, and the average daily price was about 2,002, adding up to more than 2,500.

Not only can the machine make money, but the sales of cigarette drinks, instant noodles, ham sausages are also considerable. The average daily sales volume is more than 800 yuan, and the profit of more than 100 yuan after removing the cost.

recruited a network administrator, with a monthly salary of 600, including food and housing. Naturally, it was Li Muye's free meal from the canteen. The cost of optical fiber is 800 a month, the telephone fee is 200, the industrial and commercial license is 100, and the food hygiene fee is 50 yuan, and the biggest expense is water and electricity. Li Muye ran an Internet café at home, and went directly to the high-power industrial line of the factory canteen, saving six cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity compared with the operation of the shops outside. Nearly two thousand a month.

In addition, it cost 400 yuan to buy fire-fighting equipment from a designated unit, obtained a safety and fire-fighting permit, and bought an air conditioner and freezer in a subsidiary of the Health Bureau, and spent a total of 2,060 yuan to obtain a sanitation permit. However, these two expenses are basically once and for all, at most one filial piety a year.

Finally, remove the miscellaneous replacement parts, buy game hard drives, and other expenses. Calculated carefully, the monthly operating cost is about 5,000 yuan. The net profit was a very surprising figure for Li Muye.

From the cold spring of February to the flourishing May of the year with the fragrance of acacia flowers, Li Muye has recovered all the costs of the initial investment, and there is still a little surplus in the net income of an Internet café.

The time came to June, and seeing that the summer vacation was approaching, Li Muye was recently taking a driver's license test. I plan to buy a used car and drive myself to pick up Nana when the summer vacation comes. At this time, a discordant news suddenly circulated in the family area of the factory.

Zhang Li is missing, and at the same time, more than 50 million funds raised by more than 10,000 people in the factory are missing.

The first time I heard someone else talk about this was in late May, and Li Muye didn't take it seriously at all. But soon the news spread, and Li Muye remembered that he hadn't seen his godfather for nearly a month, so he bought some food to visit on this day.

There is only her godmother Shi Zhenzhen at home, and according to her, Zhang Li has been missing for half a month and has not been heard from. From the godmother's flickering eyes, Li Muye had already seen some clues. Three days later, when he came to visit again, only General Tie was left in the Zhang family. Called Nana, there was no cell phone signal. I was busy and went to the school dormitory, but was told by the girls in the dormitory that Nana was selected to the University of Pennsylvania as an exchange student.

Li Muye understood everything in an instant, and he was like being struck by lightning. He held up the phone, stood in front of the bank, and suddenly remembered a joke Li Qizhi said, if life deceives you, don't be sad and don't complain, it's just because you are too easy to be deceived.

Never expect a little white sheep standing on the moor to be treated with kindness.

A few days later, Li Muye frantically tried to contact Nana, and even began to learn English and familiarize himself with the laws and regulations related to going abroad. Until one day, he received a call from across the ocean.

On the other end of the phone, Nana's first sentence: "Brother, I'm sorry, he's my father, and my mother told me that we are a family and can't be separated." ”

"So......" Li Muye was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You're going to part with me?"

Nana said: "No matter how much you complain about me, it's fine, but please don't misunderstand my feelings for you, my dad didn't allow me to make this call, but he couldn't stand my endless grinding, so he approved me to call you from a public phone, he told me that he was designed by the deputy mayor Hong Wenwen, lost the money in Macau, the accounts of the joint venture factory are not right, Hong Kong businessmen are held responsible, Dad didn't want to be a scapegoat, so he secretly contacted my aunt who has lived in the United States for many years, that is, my aunt, and then took me and my mother here. ”

"Didn't the godfather take that money?" asked Li Muye.

Zhang Na said: "Definitely not, our family's life is good enough, he doesn't need to risk ruining his reputation for that money, my dad was framed by someone, and someone in the city planned to share the money, but he wanted to splash dirty water on him." ”

"How did you get to the United States? I mean, in such a short period of time, even the arrangements have been made for you to be an exchange student, and you can do this kind of thing, I'm afraid you will be rich or expensive. Li Muye said: "If the godfather didn't take that money, he shouldn't have such an ability." ”

Zhang Na said: "It's all my aunt's help, she is in the precious metals business, and she is also one of the trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, because of my aunt, my grandfather's family suffered a lot of sins during the shackles, my aunt has always been very guilty, she died her husband here, and she didn't have children, many years ago Zhang Luo wanted to bring our family here, a few years ago my grandfather was so sick that he didn't dare to leave, and a few years after my grandfather left, my dad was reluctant to let his career in China ......"

"Understood!" Li Muye remembered what Zhang Li said when he saw off him at the train station at the beginning of the year, and asked, "Didn't you already know about this a long time ago?"

Zhang Na said: "Brother, I don't want to lie to you, the matter of exchange students was decided at the end of the winter vacation, and my father had already told me his decision two days before I got on the train." ”

"So, it's unlikely that you'll come back?" Li Muye's voice was cold and hard, although it was not the first time he had been abandoned, but this time the injury seemed to be heavier than any other, so that when he said this, he choked and had difficulty breathing.

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long time, he said: "Brother, whether you believe it or not, I really like you, do you remember the night before the end ......of the winter vacation when I went to look for you?" she paused for a while, and then said: "I actually made a plan to give myself completely to you, if you wanted me at that time, maybe now, there will be a lot less regret between us." ”

"I promised my godmother that I would do whatever I wanted. Li Muye took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the tide in his heart, and said: "If, I mean that I start looking for a channel now, go through the formalities to find you in the United States, is there any possibility between us?"

"Brother, our family of three came here because we had no choice but to do so, and my aunt paid a lot of price for this, so she naturally put forward some conditions, one of which was to ask my father and my mother to divorce, and then marry and have children, so as to continue the incense for our family. ”

Li Muye felt a hint of bad breath from her tone, and said: "The relationship between godfather and godmother has been experienced in the most difficult years, and he will definitely not agree." ”

So, my aunt made another request. "She wants me to marry her stepson's son, so that I can balance the conflicts within the board of directors of the Redia Jewellery Group." ”

"What do you say?" Li Muye sighed, I have watched too many TV series on this kind of wealthy marriage, but I didn't expect this unfortunate thing to appear in my life, and it was my girlfriend's turn.

Zhang Na was silent for a while, and said: "I can't refuse, otherwise, our family won't be able to gain a foothold here, and I can't watch my parents divorce." ”

Li Muye said: "So, what do you mean by calling me to tell me that our relationship is completely over?"

"Ten years, brother, we still have ten years. Zhang Na said: "Although I agreed to the engagement request, but the premise is to complete my studies, just this morning, I have re-enrolled in medical school, which means that from now on, when I finish all my degrees from bachelor's to doctorate, I don't have to really marry that person." ”

"If you can ...... in ten years," she said with some thought. Apparently because the request she was about to make was difficult.

"Can you tell me more about my competitor?" Li Muye clenched the phone, still unable to calm his excitement. From despair to hope, compared to not being completely abandoned again, what is the value of ten years of struggle?

That person's name is Liu Qi, twenty-four years old, graduated from Harvard Business School, deputy director of the marketing department of Radioa Jewelry Group, assistant to the executive president of the group's Greater China, member of the board of directors, owns 15% of the group's shares, and his personal net worth is conservatively estimated to exceed one billion US dollars.

••••••

What is more tragic than a pig-like teammate is that there is a god-like opponent, and he is not even as good as a pig teammate.

After Li Muye hung up the phone, he went directly to find Wang Hongjun's father.

This uncle, who runs a welfare labor insurance factory and has accumulated a little family foundation, has coveted Li Muye's Internet café for more than a day.

"300,000, you take it from the Internet café. Li Muye got straight to the point.

"Too expensive to afford. The uncle looked like an old treacherous and cunning, and looked at Li Muye with a smile.

Li Muye didn't say anything superfluous, and directly slapped an account slip on the table, and said: "Doing business, whether it is expensive or not is secondary, whether it is worth it is the most important, this is the account flow details of the Internet café this month, you will make a decision after reading it, if you still feel expensive, then I will go to the boss of Yishu Netgarden to talk, directly ask for 500,000 yuan, and give you this price, completely because of the friendship with your Red Army brother over the years." ”

"Why don't you continue to do such a good deal?" asked Wang Hongjun's father when he picked up the list and looked at it for a long time.

"It's too slow to make money!" Li Muye replied dryly.

This sentence startled the uncle, "You're still too slow, do you kid want to rob the bank?"

Li Muye grinned bitterly: "I urgently need to make a lot of money, and I am afraid that I may not be in a hurry to rob the bank." ”

For the sake of his sister, Li Muye dared to kill. For Zhang Na's sake, Li Muye doesn't care about the very rare and stable days in the future.

"300,000 is said to be not expensive, but I really don't have a hand, eldest nephew, do you think it can be lower?"

"Listen to the old Zheng of the industrial and commercial office, there are documents above, in order to rectify the chaos of network operation, after October this year, the threshold of the Internet café business license will be raised a lot, a ticket will cost 120,000, all the relevant procedures are not allowed to operate the black Internet café, at that time, my license is worth 200,000, plus those machinery and equipment, the licensing procedures of other departments, if 300,000 you are too expensive, then don't blame the eldest nephew for having a good thing and not thinking about you first. ”

"Gotcha!" Wang Hongjun's father gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "According to the price you said, 300,000 yuan, I will take over this Internet café!"

Li Muye said: "The Internet café has been sold to you, I don't plan to sell the house, if you don't plan to change places, you have to pay a rent." ”

"Or you'll even sell me that house. Father Wang Hongjun took out a nephrite stream and handed it over, saying, "Uncle will give you a big price!"

"If you don't sell, the rent can mean anything, but the house doesn't sell no matter how much money you give. Li Muye said: "I keep this house, our sister and brother can only have a home in this city, in case my sister comes back one day, it will be easy to find me." ”

"Big nephew, I owe a word of asking. Wang Hongjun's father lit a cigarette for Li Muye and asked, "Which line do you plan to go to make a fortune after selling the Internet café?"
