Chapter 39: It's Not Simple
Funan has always had the saying that "the east is poor and the west is expensive, and the south is rich and the north is chaotic".
In the early years, the eastern part of the city was a gathering place for a large number of state-owned enterprises, but in the past one or two decades, the economic benefits have gradually declined, and they have been shut down and transferred one by one, leaving a large number of laid-off employees, and their incomes are generally not high.
Because of the beautiful environment in the west of the city, most of the local scenic spots such as Qingyang Palace, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Baihuatan and Qingshui River are located here, and the natural scenery and cultural environment are perfectly combined, and many dignitaries and nobles have settled down here, which is called "Xigui".
In recent years, with the support of policies, the rise of software parks, a large number of high-tech enterprises have settled down, and there are many rich people, which is called "Nanfu".
Xia Qingyu's parents live in a community called Zen Garden in the west of the city, which is dense and verdant, quiet and far-reaching, rich and elegant, and natural and noble. Looking from the balcony on the third floor of the Xia family, Huanhua Creek is in full view, and on the opposite side of the water, is the famous Du Fu Thatched Cottage.
Xia Yuqi was standing on the balcony on the third floor at the moment, a 44-year-old middle-aged man, with a little gray hair on his sideburns, a few slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a world-experienced majesty between his eyebrows. However, what does not match his image is that he is lighting a cigar, and there is an antenna radio on the coffee table next to him, in which is playing the famous Sichuan opera "The Story of the Green Robe".
Suddenly, there was a sound of the engine, and when he saw a silver sports car downstairs driving into his garage, Xia Yu smiled, clapped his hands, quickly put down the cigar, turned off the radio and walked briskly towards the room, while shouting: "Sister Liu, supper!" Sister Liu! β
Sister Liu is the nanny of the Xia family, she has been working in this family for more than ten years, it can be said that she grew up watching Xia Qingyu, three years older than Xia Yuyu and his wife, and was called Sister Liu by the two of them.
Sister Liu shouted downstairs again: "Ruan Zhu, Xiao Yu'er is back." Like a microphone, he walked to the kitchen and brought the prepared side dishes to the table.
Ruan Zhu is sitting on the sofa in the living room knitting a sweater, she is Xia Qingyu's mother, the same age as Xia Yuyu, naturally beautiful and well-maintained, she looks at most in her early thirties, her face is very similar to Xia Qingyu, it can be said that Xia Qingyu has completely inherited her mother's excellent genes.
The doorbell rang, and almost at the same time Ruan Zhu opened the door, only to see his daughter, who had not seen him for two months, standing at the door pretty, and shouting sweetly: "Mom~~~"
Ruan Zhu hurriedly led Xia Qingyu into the house, and while looking carefully, he stretched out his hand to touch the east and west, as if he was afraid that his daughter was missing a piece: "Let Mom see, is it thin~~~" Take a good look at Xia Qingyu, it's the same as not seeing each other for two years.
pinched his arm, it seemed to be a little thinner than before, and his heart hurt: "I'm really thin, come and sit, are you tired?" β
Xia Qingyu felt a strong warmth, and changed with the strong woman of the company, and now she only has the attributes of her daughter, and said coquettishly: "Tired, ......"
Ruan Zhu held her daughter's face with both hands, fortunately, there were no dark circles and red eyes: "Are you hungry, have you eaten?" β
Xia Qingyu shook his head: "No, I'm waiting to eat the dishes made by Liu's mother, I haven't eaten it for a long time." β
At this time, Xia Yuyu also rushed down from the stairs, standing on the steps and showing his head, Xia Qingyu smiled and shouted crookedly: "Dad~~~" Xia Yuyu couldn't close his mouth happily.
Ruan Zhu touched Xia Qingyu's head: "I have prepared it for you earlier, come and eat first." β
There are already three small dishes on the dining table of the restaurant on the second floor, all of which are Xia Qingyu's favorite food at home, Xia Yuqi Ruan Zhu and his wife are also sitting in front of her, one left and one right, and the Dharma protector generally watches his daughter eat.
Sister Liu took a bowl of rice and handed it to Xia Qingyu: "Xiaoyu'er hasn't eaten my dish for a long time." β
Xia Qingyu took the rice bowl: "Thank you, Mother Liu." Every time I eat outside, I think of Liu's mother's craftsmanship, and I feel that the things outside are not delicious at all. One sentence coaxed Sister Liu to be happy.
Xia Yuqian pointed to the braised pork ribs: "Eat some of this, braised pork ribs." As if Xia Qingyu didn't recognize this dish, he reported the name of the dish, if he didn't have chopsticks in his hand, he had to put vegetables in Xia Qingyu's bowl by himself.
Ruan Zhu asked worriedly, "What do you eat every day in the company?" β
Xia Qingyu replied while shaving rice and eating vegetables: "I buy it on the roadside in the morning, eat a boxed lunch at noon, and eat a boxed lunch if I work overtime in the evening, and go back to make it myself if I don't work overtime." β
Ruan Zhu was a little anxious when he heard this: "How can I eat a boxed lunch, now there is so much gutter oil in the fly restaurant, and it is unhygienic?" β
Xia Qingyu said: "Oh, Mom, there are so many office workers, and the people in the entire software park eat boxed lunches, and they can't eat dead people." β
Ruan Zhu scolded softly: "Eh, how do you talk like this kid, you eat when others eat you, you are also the boss of a company, what do you compare with office workers." "Well, the teacher taught us from a young age not to blindly compare.
And quickly captured another key point: "Do you work too much overtime?" Why does the boss also work overtime, and the people under you don't do anything? β
Xia Qingyu explained in a soft voice: "Our start-up company, the boss wants to mingle with the employees to enhance the company's unity atmosphere and revolutionary friendship, Dad, don't you say?" β
Xia Yuqi chuckled and said, "Your small company, it's like a little fuss and a joke, what a start-up company." β
Xia Qingyu said seriously: "Dad, I'm not happy if you say that, that's the company you gave you to open with the money, how can you say that." β
When her daughter graduated, Xia Yuqi couldn't help but start her own company, so she gave her a sum of money, saying that this was the only one, and she would not increase her investment in the future, and she would bear her own profits and losses.
Xia Qingyu was born with pink carving, extremely cute, standard beauty embryo, the couple especially love this daughter. At that time, the Xia family did not have such a big family business, but they always gave her the best things for their daughter, originally in Xia Yu's opinion, raising a daughter, learning art to play the piano and cheering for the violin is very good, such a beautiful and beautiful daughter is just in line with her temperament. But Xia Qingyu has not been interested in art since she was a child, she likes to play games, and when she grows up, she has to make games, so she can only let her do it, anyway, the company will go home after losing all of it.
That being said, in fact, with Xia Yu's eyesight that has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, it can also be seen that her daughter has a little business talent. It's good to let her go out for a while, he and Ruan Zhu are just this one daughter, and the huge family business will always be left to her in the future, and it's good that she can take care of it herself.
"How's your herring network doing now?" Xia Yuqi hurriedly changed his words and asked happily.
"It's good, the first game is about to be made, this time I went to Huangpu to find an agent to publish, and I also found one, and the talk is almost over, probably in September or October." Xia Qingyu exaggerated his words slightly.
Xia Yu was a little surprised, he didn't know much about the game circle, but no matter what company he opened or what project he undertook, it only took three months from the establishment of the company to the development of products and the start of profitability, which is really not very common.
It's really my daughter, Xia Yuqi thought a little beautifully.
"Didn't you say it would take a year or two?" Ruan Zhu asked curiously.
Xia Qingyu sandwiched another piece of pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth: "Hmm...... miamiaβ¦β¦ We changed our product thinking back in June and switched to a different type of game. β
"Can you make money?" Ruan Zhu didn't really hope that Xia Qingyu's company could make money to support her family or anything, but a mother would have a special pride when she saw that her child could make money on her own, no matter how much money she had.
"About the first agency fee of 5 million, and the profit sharing behind is still being discussed." In fact, this matter is not yet final, but it is very proud to say it in front of my parents.
Complaining about hard work and exaggerating grades are not the most normal manifestations of children in front of their parents.
When Xia Yuqi and Ruan Zhu heard this, they exchanged a look, and they couldn't hide the smile in each other's eyes, 5 million is not a big amount for the Xia family, but their daughter's first pot of gold can achieve this kind of result, and the couple are both surprised and happy.
Xia Yuqi said gently: "Do you want to talk to your father and help you check the gates, but don't meet any liars." β
Xia Qingyu had a bitter face: "Dad~~~ You don't believe me like this, where is it so easy to deceive me......" and said with a little pride: "Besides, I also have an experienced product director to check it." β
οΌοΌοΌ
What is the product director?
Xia Yu frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
