Chapter 70: What is Success?

After ten days on a business trip, Chen Mo made nearly 1,000 euros of extra money, which is 8,000 yuan. Of course, most of this is due to going out with the leader, and the Norwegian side has borne his expenses to lead to such a high income. There are also some colleagues who go on business trips and have had expenses greater than the reimbursement standard, and they have to put money in them.

The colleagues in the office were very happy when they knew that Chen Mo was going to inject four thousand yuan into the small treasury, after all, in addition to paying for some public expenses, the money was divided equally among them in the end.

On the way home from work to send Qian Shubei, she said with some hatred: "You are stupid, you are tired, you can behave in the department every time, you think everyone is as stupid as you, and you really take out so much money and put it in the small treasury at once." ”

Chen Mo didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "To suffer a loss is to take advantage, although I took out a little more money, but to be able to get your favor, it is enough." ”

"What you said makes sense...... Qian Shubei nodded, pushed open the car door and said, "Don't worry, we have discussed it together, and when the human resources department comes to investigate, it is certain that I will say good things to you." The interpersonal relationships in our department are not so complicated, and they will not hold you back. Let's go, see you tomorrow. ”

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Back at home, Li Shan had everything ready. Gifts for his mother, Uncle Cao, as well as the film he went to Europe to shoot, and the computer that wrote his own travelogue, a lot of bits and pieces.

Carrying things into the car, I happened to run into Chen Zheng coming back from outside. Chen Mo brought him a Ray-Ban sunglasses this time, which made him very nervous, and he had to wear them in the house. "Brother, are you going to Auntie's house?"

"Well, your mother just called back and said that the unit had dinner, and your father had a party again, so you shouldn't run around at night and eat with your grandfather."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of him."

Chen Mo glanced at him and ignored him, although Chen Zheng was a little playful, he was not rebellious, and he was also filial to his elders, Chen Mo still trusted him very much.

When they went out this time, they encountered a big traffic jam in the capital, although it was not far from Dongsi to Chaoyang Park, Chen Mo and they still took more than half an hour to arrive. Li Shan sighed: "It's better to ride a motorcycle, at least there won't be traffic jams." ”

"You're so afraid of the cold, and it's cold on a motorcycle. You take the camera, and my computer. I'll take care of the rest. ”

Cao Yu, who came downstairs to open the door, hugged Li Shan as soon as they met. The relationship between the two of them is good, and they often stand in the same camp, anyway, as long as the two of them are together, Chen Mo doesn't want to have the upper hand.

When I went upstairs, everyone exchanged pleasantries again. Li Shan also wanted to behave well in front of Luo Chaoying, but Luo Chaoying didn't appreciate it, and drove her to the living room, chatting with everyone, and provoking Cao Yu to laugh.

Everyone in the Cao family, Chen Mo brought gifts, and Cao Zhongmou was the Cartier diamond-studded lighter that Nasjia bought for him, he smoked less, and he was not used to using such a flamboyant lighter, and he would feel sorry for him if he lost it.

Cao Zhongmou was very satisfied with this lighter, admired it for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Where did you get the money to buy such a good lighter?" ”

Li Shan snorted, and Chen Mo was embarrassed. "I'll tell you later, there are other reasons."

"What's so embarrassing to say, isn't it just that a rich girl has taken a fancy to you!"

Cao Yu was not too lively, and asked: "Yo, what's new, tell it quickly, let's listen to it." ”

Chen Mo ignored her and distributed the gifts he brought one by one. Cao Yi was given a set of Henry-style coffee cups, and Wu Liping was given a bottle of Gucci perfume. Cao Yu did not fall behind, and gave a set of Nordic-style silverware, and a set of Norwegian sweaters for the old lady of the Cao family. I heard that this sweater is expensive, and it is warmer than many cotton clothes, and the old lady's tense face is much better.

The gift to Cao Qi was carefully selected by Chen Mo, a complete set of punk-style leather jackets, with many metal chains and buckles inlaid on the outside, and a pair of exaggerated pointed leather shoes with a fiery red hood.

Such a gift made him very happy, and he couldn't wait to go back to his room to change it, and after a while, it made the stomach ache of everyone in the room laughing, which was too subversive for such an image.

Although Chen Mo has always disliked him very much, he thinks he is too rebellious, and it can even be said that he has a bad temperament, because of him, he has added a lot of blockages to his mother and caused a lot of disputes. But when I saw him jumping up and down proudly now, funny and funny, I remembered that he was a child younger than Chen Zheng.

Even the smallest pineapple, Chen Mo did not forget the Victorian-style camel hair cloak he bought. This cloak is very warm, and in winter, when you take him out, you don't need to prepare a lot of things in large bags.

Luo Chaoying personally cooked a few dishes and returned to the living room, and Li Shan immediately handed her the gift he had prepared for her. This is a French ordinary brand mid-length woolen slim coat, which is the cheapest opinion among all gifts, but it suits her very well, Chen Mo took a fancy to this dress at a glance.

Li Shan helped her put it on her body, which immediately sparked a burst of praise. She is tall, although she does not conform to the softness of ordinary women, she has a kind of male perseverance, and Chen Mo has inherited many of her characteristics. In addition, she is busy with work and has good maintenance, so she is not blessed, and she immediately sets off her when she wears this coat.

Cao Zhongmou smiled: "In the future, when we go out together, others will think that I am carrying a bag." ”

Cao Yu smiled: "Dad, you have to take good care of it, look at it, now it seems that Auntie is at least ten years younger than you." ”

Chen Mo told everyone about what he had seen and gained in Europe, and everyone listened to it with relish. However, Cao Zhongmou and Cao Yi focused on his gains in work, but the women's attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of Nastya.

Chen Mo was glad that she didn't tell Li Shan about Nasjia's background, she found an opportunity, added fuel to the fire, and sued herself. Even Amal, who had nothing to do at all, was taken out by her and criticized.

Luo Chaoying spoke. "Although this Nastya has money, we are not people who lack that money, Shanshan is very good, don't give me flowers and grass outside."

"Am I such a person......

A large family had a good meal together, several women talked hotly together, and several men also chatted. Cao Yi is very interested in Chen Mo's investment in the UK this time, he is an expert in this area, when it comes to theoretical knowledge, don't talk about Chen Mo, even Bill Gates may not be able to talk about him in front of him.

However, there is always a huge distance between financial theory and practice, not to mention him, there are so many internationally renowned professors and experts, let them talk about theory, but when it comes to actual investment, all of them lose pants.

But talking to him, Chen Mo can always learn a lot of theoretical knowledge, and with his memory, it will be of great help to future investment. Even after eating, they still talk about sex. The three men entered Cao Zhongmou's study, smoking cigarettes and chatting casually.

"Brother Cao Yi, you are now full of wealth, but you have no analytical vision and decision-making ability, I now have all kinds of ideas and courage, but I lack a foundation to support. I think the two of us can really work together well, and maybe one day in the future, we can be at the top of success. ”

Cao Yi shook his head and smiled: "What is success?" In everyone's eyes, success is not the same. Or in your eyes, being a person who is admired by everyone is called success, but in my eyes, I am already the most successful person now. My husband and wife are harmonious, my family is happy, and I am happy at work. I don't lack anything on the basis of material life, I have achieved financial freedom, time freedom, and spiritual freedom, all of which are in line with my ultimate definition of success. ”

"But you can go further...... From associate professor to professor, or dean......"

"If I have to sacrifice the time I spend with my wife and children, and my sense of freedom of mind, this kind of success is not acceptable."

Cao Zhongmou said with a smile: "Xiao Mo, it's useless to tell him this, because the thoughts of the two of you are not in the same world. You and I represent the world of the laity, and he is too unworldly, and our realm cannot be reached. ”

Cao Yi said self-deprecatingly: "It's not because I have a good father like you, if I don't have you, I have to calculate every day, how much salary this month, how much to spend on food, how much to spend on gas, how much to spend on children......"

"So people don't live in a vacuum, and at this point, no matter what you think we are vulgar, I also stick to our ideas."

Chen Mo was reluctant to continue on this topic, and asked, "Uncle Cao, how is the matter of the racecourse?" ”

"It's going well, although the contract hasn't been signed yet, but the racecourse is already being renovated. Stables, clubs, pastures, and horse breeds, etc., have not been exposed before, but when I did, I found that there were more things to worry about than ordinary companies. Horses are not people, if you are not familiar with the character of horses, you can't even communicate, and there are too many things to worry about. ”

"How's that for the trees?"

Cao Zhongmou smiled: "If he wants to use it, where do I have the leisure to chat with you here?" ”

Chen Mo thought about it, he was purely worried about it, Luan Shu was proficient, how to build a horse farm, they didn't need to worry about it at all.

Cao Yu pushed open the door of the study, covered his nose with his hand and said, "It's all smokers...... Black dog, come here, let's talk about the travelogue. ”
