Chapter 08: Weird Neighbors
"Xia Xiaotian, fetch me 10 million flowers first. ”
"Excuse me, boss, you don't have any money in your personal account right now. ”
"Why?"
"The company has just been listed, and your net worth of 20 billion means that you have 20 billion shares, and if you want to turn them into cash, you have to sell the shares, but because of the rules you set yourself, the shareholders who hold more than 10% of the original shares of the company are not allowed to sell the original shares within five years, so ...... How can you help?"
"So I'm a poor bastard!"
"You set your own rules, do you blame me?"
A few words in the summer completely announced that Liu Geng's dream of being a rich man was shattered, in view of the fact that he is still a patient, Xia Shun explained some financial knowledge to him, and Liu Geng also knew what was going on in this world through Xia Yi's explanation.
Although Liu Yi became rich by raising pigs, he monopolized the pork market in the entire Northeast, and after being listed, his worth reached 20 billion. However, this is an asset that has been 'inflated' by the stock market, and does not represent his true wealth, but only the expectations of the outside world for him and his company. In fact, Liu Geng's industrial assets are only billions. Although there are a lot of these, because at the beginning of the listing, Liu Yi considered the future development of the entire group, and at the same time, as a scientist, his demand for money was relatively light, so he set up a lot of rules, and the fact that shares could not be sold was one of them, the main purpose was to appease other investors and give them a reassurance. Unexpectedly, the stones that were lifted at that time smashed Liu Geng's feet now, and there was a mountain of gold that could not be used, and it could not be seen and touched, and this feeling was even more sad than being a poor man.
According to Xia's statement, Liu Yi not only could not realize his shares, but he also had no salary within the company, only a symbolic dollar a month. Liu Geng could only sigh after hearing this, he secretly wondered in his heart, did Liu Yi already know that he would be replaced by someone one day in the future, so he took precautions in advance. This is good, you can't count on 20 billion, and you can't count on the salary. Liu Geng really wanted to know, what did Liu Yi expect to live in normal times? No matter how much he regarded money as dung, he had to eat, but in his current situation, he didn't even have money to eat.
Liu Geng threw this question to Summer, but was despised by a big white eye: "Big professor, university scholar, don't pretend to be pitiful." You are not short of money, as the youngest academician, you enjoy the special allowance of the state, publish a paper every three or five times, and the manuscript fee is more than 100,000 US dollars, will you still have no money for food?"
Liu Geng let out a sigh, fortunately, Liu Yi didn't do anything wrong, and still left living expenses. But there is still a problem, that is, Liu Yi knows where his own money is, and Liu Geng doesn't know. He can't ask Summer, where is my own money?
Hearing him ask this and that, Xia also had a point in his heart about what he wanted to know, and said, "You don't usually spend much money, and I don't know where your money is." All I see is a bank card, in your wallet, I don't know the password, you can think about it slowly. If you really can't remember, I can leave you some money. ”
Liu Geng thought about it and rejected Summer's kindness. When he was just packing his things, he found that he still had some money in his wallet, which was the 5 million won for travel expenses given by the desk before getting on the plane, and the 5,000 won in exchange for the check-out rent, which added up to almost 57.8 million won. This money is saved a little, enough to spend for two months. In two months, he may be back in his own world. Even if he can't go back, he can go back to China, and after he goes back, he can take Liu Yi's ID card to reapply for a bank card, and he doesn't have to borrow money from Xia.
Although this is not a kind of borrowing, and he doesn't count these in the summer, Liu Geng rejects the money of the flower woman in his bones, and if he can maintain it, he will not do it.
The car arranged by the embassy took Liu Geng from the hospital to the accommodation arranged for him. Xia and Xia Donghai accompanied him over, helped him clean up the house briefly, and it was time for dinner. Liu Geng wanted to invite the father and daughter to dinner, but was refused. Because I have to fly back to China in the summer, there is a shareholders' meeting to be held at eight o'clock in the evening, after the company went public, Liu Yi started to be the shopkeeper and appointed Xia as the president of the company. Xia Donghai came to check Liu Yi, his body was fine, so he naturally wanted to go back with his daughter. Before leaving, Xia Donghai instructed Liu Geng that if there was anything uncomfortable, or the memory loss worsened, he must be notified as soon as possible.
Seeing off the father and daughter, it was already dark. Liu Geng sat on the sofa, took a pillow to cover his stomach, and looked at the ceiling in a daze. The appearance of summer made him look forward to the world a little. But summer is gone, and that expectation has diminished a lot. Although they are different worlds, Liu Geng found that the relationship between him and Xia Xia has not changed qualitatively. From Summer's eyes, he can see admiration, but he can't see love, maybe there is some affection, but the distance is still very far, Summer's attitude towards Liu Yi is not even as anxious as Xia Donghai.
After a short afternoon of contact, Liu Geng has discovered that the summer in this world is not exactly the same as his setting in "Please Answer 2014". In this world, the summer seems more real, she is not like the one described in "Please Answer 2014", everything is for Liu Yi, in this world, she has a more independent mind, and she treats her work more professionally and seriously. The simplest example, if it was the summer of "Please Answer 2014", Liu Yi had such a big accident, she would never go back for any meeting, she would definitely stay here.
But in this world, summer is gone. Liu Geng's feeling in his heart was both loss and relaxation. The loss is that he pinned a lot of feelings on the summer, not doing what he wanted, and the easy thing is that she didn't do that, if she is really like the summer in "Please Answer 2014", he really doesn't know how to get along with her.
Before leaving in the summer, Liu Geng asked a lot of things, such as the situation in Liu Yi's family, his circle of friends, his preferences and the purpose of his coming to South Korea, what he needed to do, and so on. Xia knew that his mind was not clear now, so she patiently told him the part she knew, Xia Donghai also said that this would help Liu Yi's recovery, Liu Geng took this opportunity to ask everything he wanted to ask, and learned a lot of news. It stands to reason that now that his body is fine, Liu Yi should call home as soon as possible to report his safety, but Liu Geng is not ready to face Liu Yi's parents now, so he didn't make this call.
Liu Geng just thought about it and lay on the sofa for a long time, until his stomach growled, and he got up to find something to eat. But after rummaging around, he couldn't find even a cookie. Although the embassy helped him arrange this apartment early, it was obvious that the problem of food was not taken into account, the refrigerator was empty, clean as if it was newly bought, and the slight difference was that the refrigerator door was pasted with a takeaway order left by the previous guest, Liu Geng looked at the date, the takeaway order was from last month, and I don't know if it was effective.
Luckily, he looked at the price and ordered a fried noodles, a spicy cabbage fried rice, and a sweet and sour pork and cold vegetable platter. Because sweet and sour pork and jajangmyeon can be combined into a set meal, it also saves 4,000 won, and adds up to 30,000 won, which is still relatively cost-effective in terms of Korean prices.
The other end of the phone promised that the takeaway would be delivered within fifteen minutes, Liu Geng hung up the phone, thought about it and decided to pack his luggage first. He opened the suitcase, took out the clothes and hung them in the closet, put the toiletries in the bathroom, and put all his belongings in the bedside table, and as for the books, especially "The Postpartum Care of the Sow", he stuffed them all into the garbage bag, and planned to throw them all into the trash when he went downstairs tomorrow.
"Ding-dong......"
Liu Genggang stuffed the broken books into a garbage bag when the doorbell rang. Liu Geng was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and when he heard the doorbell ringing, it was tantamount to a fairy sound, so he hurriedly got up and came to the door.
"Hello, this is the meal you ordered. Will you be cash or ...... Well, thank you for your patronage. ”
Liu Geng gave the cash, and then snatched the takeaway in his hand as if he was robbing. He was really hungry, he was in a coma for three days, he didn't eat anything, only relied on nutrient solution to maintain his life, he just woke up at noon, the hospital was worried that his stomach couldn't bear it, so he only gave porridge, and when he drank the second bowl, he was stopped, and he didn't even mix a full water, how could he not be hungry.
A few steps from the door to the dining table, Liu Geng had already smelled the smell of fried noodles, and his saliva couldn't stop secreting, as soon as he put down the food, he immediately ripped off the plastic wrap of the fried noodles, broke the chopsticks and rolled a big roll, and bit it. As soon as he bit into his mouth, before he could chew, there was another knock outside the door, Liu Geng almost choked himself to death, finally swallowed it, beat his chest twice, and returned to the door to open the door.
It was still the takeaway brother just now, his expression was a little cramped, Liu Geng choked the fried noodles stuffed in his throat, and said, "There is still ...... What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, I may have delivered the wrong meal just now...... You ordered the fried noodles with knife-cut noodles, but I gave you the fried noodles with knife-cut noodles just now......" The takeaway brother saw the sauce on the corner of Liu Geng's mouth, and his expression became bitter, why is this guest so anxious, he just found out and knocked on the door immediately, but he didn't expect this guest to start eating.
"Sent it wrong?" Liu Geng frowned and said, "I've already eaten it...... Is there a price difference, I'll make up the difference, is this okay?"
"It's not about the difference...... I will be complained about if I delivered the wrong meal......"
"What's the matter, I won't complain about you. Don't worry, I promise not to complain about you!" Liu Geng said that he was about to close the door, but the takeaway brother hurriedly stopped him and said eagerly: "You can't do it if you don't complain, I sent you the wrong one, and the other person is also wrong, and she complains about me, and I can't explain it." ”
"You ......" Liu Gengyou wanted to say something about me, but seeing the anxious appearance of the takeaway brother, he was a little unbearable, sighed, and said, "Okay, then you say, how can I help you?"
The takeaway brother rubbed his hands, looked at Liu Geng embarrassedly, and said, "Can you help me talk to another guest, just say that you took the wrong meal...... Don't worry, I'll pay for the difference, I know it's very embarrassing, but I really can't help it, just help me. ”
"This ......"
"Please. ”
Before Liu Geng could speak, a voice sounded behind the takeaway brother: "It's okay, I eat the same thing, he doesn't mind, I won't complain to you." ”
Liu Geng and the takeaway brother looked over when they heard the sound, and it was Liu Geng's opposite door who spoke. It should be a girl, but this guy is a little bit like a lute, and although the voice comes out, no one sees it, because she only opens a crack in the door.
"Just leave the jajangmyeon at the door, and I've already paid the money online. With that, he closed the door.
This person is really weird! Liu Geng furrowed his brows and asked the takeaway brother, "Has the other door always been like this?
The takeaway brother put the fried noodles at the door of the opposite door and said, "I've come to deliver many meals and haven't seen them once, and every time I ask for them to be placed at the door, so I thought it would be difficult to speak, but I didn't expect to be a very kind person." Thank you, I'll go downstairs first. ”
"Oh, okay," Liu Geng nodded, cast a puzzled look at the door, shook his head, turned back into the house, closed the door, and went to eat fried noodles again.
