After chatting with Wu Xiangjun for a while about her "little mother" who was not as old as her, the topic quickly turned to some gossip in the company.

Wu Xiangjun has now been transferred to Xinghai Investment Company and has not served in the group company. Perhaps because of this, I often hear a lot of gossip within the group.

For example, who engages in nepotism;

Which Guan Qiu has never heard of the name of the executive engaged in extramarital affairs and was caught and raped by his fierce wife on the spot.

Or which technician jumped to a competitor's company, and got a chicken feather with a subsidiary of Tianxiu Group, etc.

For Guan Qiu, these things are just a joke.

After dinner, the wind and rain outside the window turned into a drizzle, and when he looked at the time, it was just past 7 o'clock, and Guan Qiu proposed to go to the commercial street in boredom.

After Wu Xiangjun rang the bell to inform the security guards to prepare, Guan Qiu had already changed his clothes.

"Let's go~"

Wu Xiangjun grabbed a Chanel paper bag in his right hand and followed Guan Qiu out of the room.

When he was about to reach the elevator, a female secretary with a ball head walked over quickly with a mobile phone, said "Boss, Smith phone" and handed the mobile phone to Guan Qiu, then took a half step back, folded her hands on her chest and followed Guan Qiu to the elevator door.

Under the orange corridor light, the female secretary's entire movements were smooth and her attitude was respectful and natural, including the five bodyguards who surrounded Guan Qiu in a zigzag shape and the other two men and one woman and three assistants, all of whom had no unusual expressions.

Wu Xiangjun, who was one step behind, suddenly felt a little trance-like when he saw this.

I don't know when it started, I feel that this little man is becoming more and more imposing, more and more majestic, and the people he comes into contact with have also risen with the increase in value, and they are basically the heads of politics and economics.

Now, whether it is Fang Xiu, her, or any other woman who is close to him, they are very concerned about the image issue, and they don't want anyone to attack Guan Qiu under the pretext of their private life.

"He's grown up!" Wu Xiangjun muttered, looking at the back of Guan Qiu holding the phone, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a silent smile.

……

The autumn rain was like smoke and mist, silently falling on the colorful umbrellas and canopies on the Lujiazui commercial street, wetting the ground, the houses, the trees, and even the neon signs with a hazy smell.

At the counter of a clothing store lit up with an English lightbox billboard, a girl in a black cap and denim bib pants is holding a fashion magazine and looking intently.

At this moment, a man in a suit in his thirties who accompanied his female companion to buy clothes accidentally saw the side face of the girl in suspenders, and his eyes instantly lit up.

The man in the suit swept left and right to make sure that no one noticed him, reached out and quickly wiped it on the Sanqi development style, then pinched the collar of the pink shirt, and moved his steps towards the girl in the overalls.

"This young lady, you also like Donna Karen, she is also one of the few American fashion designers I like. Her design philosophy is mainly based on the modern urban ...... "men in suits, gushing endlessly."

The girl in the suspenders with her head down didn't look at the man in the suit, and said in a tone without a trace of emotion: "Get out!"

The man in the suit smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...... Don't get me wrong...... this young lady."

Without waiting for the man in the suit to finish speaking, the girl in the suspenders put the magazine on the bookshelf for the guests to flip through, turned her head and stared at the man in the suit for two seconds, and then interrupted expressionlessly: "I told you to get out, didn't you hear?"

Looking at the burning eyes of the girl in the overalls, the man in the suit was still defeated, touched his nose and walked away with a dry smile.

Just then, a young man in a white T-shirt and jeans walked towards the girl in overalls.

The man in the suit who returned to the female companion happened to see this scene, and his eyes greedily swept twice on the delicate and elegant face of the girl in the suspenders, and he had already begun to fantasize about the picture of the young man leaving in disgrace.

However, to the surprise of the man in the suit, the girl in the bib pants had a stunned and incredulous expression on her face after seeing the young man's appearance.

The man in the suit also noticed the handsome appearance and tall figure of the young man, and he was suddenly depressed in his heart, and secretly scolded the girl in the suspenders for being superficial and not seeing his interesting soul.

"Long time no see. ”

"Well, long time no see. ”

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, and turned to look at the hazy street outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a long silence, Guan Qiu finally broke the silence: "When did you come back?"

Compared with a few years ago, Ren Yingying, who has lost some weight and looks more mature, unconsciously stirred her hands a few times, pursed her pink lips and said, "It's been a month since I came back." ”

Guan Qiu asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Ren Yingying said: "I don't know for the time being, maybe I will go to work in Tianxiu." ”

"Okay, very welcome~" Guan Qiu smiled and asked, "She...... How's it going?"

Ren Yingying hesitated for a moment and said: "After Dianping was sold to Tianxiu, she returned to Lucheng to recuperate for half a year, and now she is cultivating in Huayan Nunnery, Zhejiang Province, and often accompanies the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. ”

Guan Qiu nodded.

Dragged down by the fall of the Shen family, the Cao family also became a funeral object, and those commercial hyenas united with political forces to swallow the industry that the Cao family had developed for decades.

If it weren't for Cao Shaoli's sudden cerebral hemorrhage and death, someone above couldn't look past it and helped to say two words, and the descendants of the Cao family might have to beg for food on the road now.

However, Cao Zijin's decision was still unexpected by him, I don't know what she has experienced to get to where she is now?

Without waiting for Guan Qiu to continue her reverie, Ren Yingying said goodbye: "I'll go first, and I'll contact you when I'm free." ”

"Okay!" Guan Qiu responded, and then walked out of the clothing store with Ren Yingying.

Seeing Ren Yingying's figure disappear around the corner of the street, Guan Qiu walked in another direction.

Wu Xiangjun followed and teased: "Old lovers meet, why don't you talk for a while?"

"What are you talking about?

"Yes!~ Anyway, there is an express hotel in front, a talented woman, dry firewood, isn't it just right. ”

Guan Qiu's laughter came from the streets at night, "How can I listen, you seem to be jealous......"

……

……

After returning to China, Guan Qiu was busy every day, either attending this event, or participating in that ceremony, or going to various branches of the group to inspect, without a moment of leisure.

It wasn't until September 9th, the day before Teacher's Day, that Guan Qiu found time to go back to Lucheng.

His mother, Gao Huiyun, still lives in Dongkang Garden on Haichuan Road, and is still teaching English in Experimental No. 2 Primary School.

Although he has always been a trapeze artist, his sister Guan Youyou stays in Shanghai most of the time, but his mother is not alone, because in addition to Fang Xiu's daughter-in-law, like Yan Li and Jin Rong, they all live in Dongkang Garden, and they run home when they have nothing to do, which is very lively.

Guan Qiu stayed at home for more than half a month, and in addition to handling some company affairs remotely every day, he worked hard to make villains with Fang Xiu.

On the 21st, Wu's lame son held a full moon wine and invited Guan Qiu to go together.

Guan Qiu was idle, so he led Fang Xiu to eat and drink.

The banquet is held in an ordinary restaurant on Lianhua Road, not much, just 6 tables, anyway, they are all relatives and friends, so naturally there is no need to put on any pomp.

As Wu Xiangjun said, her mute mother is quite beautiful.

However, looking at the shape of her eyebrows and the contours of her face, this girl is not as obedient as she appears, and I am afraid that she will be lame in the future.

"Come on, let's toast together......"

"Cheers!"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the scene quickly became lively, eating vegetables, chatting and chatting, and at this time there was no consciousness of not smoking in public places, and the hall was soon filled with smoke.

"It's getting harder and harder to do business now, and all the money you earn is paying the rent. ”

"Who's to say no, I've been thinking about changing careers lately. ”

"I can't say that, the main thing is that I don't understand the situation in the country. You're like in the 80s, you can get rich with whatever you want. For example, reselling, buying a batch of TV sets from Yangcheng to those material-scarce places in the mainland or the great northwest, is absolutely empty, then what is called business, it is simply to take money. ”

"Yes, this society is to support the bold and starve the faint-hearted......"

Listening to the discussion of the people at the dinner table, Guan Qiu smiled and said: "You are looking at the society 20 years ago from the perspective of today's society, if you have understood the society at that time, I believe you will not say such things."

Resources are always in the hands of a few, and it has nothing to do with whether you have a flexible mind or whether you can smell business opportunities. Even if you figured out how to get rich at that time, all kinds of rules and regulations restrict you, and in the end you can only watch your way to get rich be copied and replaced by others.

Because you have no background, no privileges. ”

Guan Qiu put the chopsticks roast pigeon in Fang Xiu's bowl, and said: "The vast majority of people who can make money and have many ideas are themselves in a position that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, they are more likely to obtain information, and ordinary people can only see the results of their actions, that is, when people make a lot of money, you are a little ignorant, oh, it turns out that you can make money like this."

Because you can't take advantage of information asymmetry, simply put, you don't have a background, you don't have privileges.

Just like in some places, people with information and connections have built houses and factories on the demolition site long before the project is planned, and they will receive high compensation when they are demolished.

Where does the average person know?

Even if you know, what can you do, who do you want to build?

Within two days, it will be picked up as an illegal building for you. ”

The people at the dinner table were so confused by Guan Qiu's words that they forgot to eat, and looked at him with staring eyes.

"Come, drink. Guan Qiu took the cup and drank it all, took a sip of wine and sighed: "Don't complain about why you didn't get rich like anyone, maybe he has a relationship, but you don't."

You have to remember that the people who create wealth will always be the people at the bottom, and they will never get rich. Who is the one who gets rich? The one who distributes the benefits......"
