"Yan Feng and I are college classmates, my family is very poor, and his background is good, my father is a professor, my uncle is a businessman, in our time, it is called 10,000 yuan household. At that time, the renminbi had not depreciated so much, the salary was only a few dozen yuan a month, in order to make up for my college tuition, my family borrowed money from all over the village, I will never forget, my mother held my head down for the tuition fee of 100 yuan, and knelt down to people from door to door, at that time I swore that I must be a man in this life. ”

Unconsciously, the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat chatted with Chu Yun about the past, and when he talked about that old thing, the expression on his face seemed to soften a little.

"In college, I met Yanbee, because my family is poor, I always have an inferiority complex for other people, and I have always buried my head in studying, hoping to get ahead by reading one day, so I don't fit in well. Originally, I had nothing to do with Yan Bee, that is, Ruoxi's father, but he once forgot to do the subject assigned by the professor, so I casually helped him at that time, and I was entangled by him strangely. ”

Chu Yun didn't interrupt him, just listened quietly.

After all, he knew too little about the Lin family, and Lin Ruoxi never took the initiative to talk about her and her father.

The middle-aged man named Jiang Huainan took a puff of his cigar and looked into his memory.

After a while, he came back to his senses and flicked the ashes of his cigarette.

"You know, I was really a very inferior person at that time, I felt that Yan Bee approached me and helped me, but his show-off mentality was making trouble, his family had money, he could help me, it felt like he was giving alms to beggars, even though I was poor, but I was a person with a lot of self-esteem, I refused to accept it.

"But then something happened that completely changed my mind about Yanbee. It was in my sophomore year of college that my mother got sick, and the disease can be treated now, but the medical care was not good at the time. What's more, our family is already a lot of debt, and no one wants to lend us money anymore. My mother could no longer do heavy work, so I had to lie in the hospital bed to recuperate, and the burden of life suddenly fell on my mother's shoulders, and I had to drop out of school to work for my mother's medical expenses, my brother's living expenses, and also to pay off my debts.

"If the trajectory of my life goes on like this, then I will now become the most ordinary member of them," Jiang Huainan looked at the pedestrians passing by outside the window and said: "But I am not reconciled, I am really unwilling, just when I was facing the most pain and despair, Lin Yanfeng came to me, and he said that he could beg his family to let me go back to school." Of course, I couldn't have agreed, and later, he said that he would also drop out of school to join me. You can imagine my reaction at the time, I think he was there to make fun of me, and he said yes, but when he actually put the dropout in front of me, I admit that I couldn't say anything. ”

"After Lin Yanfeng's father, who was a professor, knew that his son had taken the initiative to drop out of school without consulting him, he was angry, and he drove Yan Bee out of the house that night, and threatened to cut off the father-son relationship with him, but he grinned as if it was fine, and in the next few years, we have been wandering outside, and finally realized the hardships of the situation, just to live, we have done our best every day."

"But in that era, life was always full of opportunities, every day someone became rich because of a policy today and a reform tomorrow, not that I boasted, I still have some foresight for these things, at that time I expected that the electronic technology industry will take off, of course, my electronic technology and what you are talking about now are a little different from the computer and the like, I have to say that it is the IT industry."

"However, no one agreed at the time, because a household P cost 20,000 yuan, and the salary at that time was finally no longer a dozen yuan, and the average wage earner also had four or five hundred per month, but who would use these hard-earned money to buy this impractical luxury, just like a car has been available for a long time, but who would have imagined that like today, it will be everywhere and become a necessity of life, but this time, Yan Bee stood up again and stood with me."

"I didn't have any money at the time, and he didn't have it, a penny is hard to beat a hero, my salary has to be sent back to my hometown, if it weren't for Yan Feng usually helping me some, I wouldn't be able to survive at all, such two people naturally have no savings, but doing business is to capital, at that time the country was restructuring, the factory distribution was reorganized, the bank encouraged individual business, and provided small loans, but just with the two of us, there is still a big gap in funds, and then Yan Bee told me, or let him beg his father."

"I didn't sleep all night, and the next day, I watched Yan Bee limp back, and I knew at a glance that he had been beaten, but he still smiled and stuffed more than 20,000 yuan into my hand like nothing happened, and I made the second vow in my life at that time, I must succeed!" Jiang Huainan came out of his memories, he threw away the cigar that only had the cigarette holder left, and tidied up his suit: "As you can see, I succeeded, but in fact, there is a sentence that is very true." Don't start a company with your best friend. ”

Chu Yun looked at him and asked, "What happened?" ”

After this question, Chu Yun felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to ask about other people's private matters, but soon Chu Yun didn't care, didn't Jiang Huainan also check his own.

"Differences," Jiang Huainan paused, as if sorting out his thoughts, and continued: "According to my original idea, he and I will one day, we will build a business empire with strong funds, of course, this dream is a little young and frivolous now, but I have always been driven by this idea, but Yan Feng is the opposite, even if he flatters, he is not an excellent businessman, he does not have the kind of merchantist of a businessman, nor is he shrewd and decisive a businessman, he can't see others suffer, Likes something weird. When he had money, he would spend it in some inexplicable place. ”

Chu Yun sweated for a moment, Jiang Huainan should be referring to Lin Ruoxi's father's funding of China's e-sports industry.

But according to Jiang Huainan's concept: "Of course I think that those are all playthings, and if you have money, you should invest in greater capital operation, but Yan Feng's focus is too low, or rather, he is not interested in this at all, he will engage in business, completely because of my reasons, at that time, we finally had irreconcilable differences because of a listing issue." Of course, I am probably the only one who thinks this is a disagreement, because Yan Feng naturally handed over all the decision-making power of the company's operation to me, he only retained a part of the shares after being financed, and at the same time occupied such a nominal company in Qiu Nan, for this reason, I made a third oath, I must prove him wrong, let him see my future success and feel regretful. ”

"But in the end, only the first two of my vows were fulfilled, and on the day my company was successfully listed, the news of Yan Feng's death came from China." Jiang Huainan's face was a little gloomy, and then, he looked up at Chu Yun: "It can be said that I, Jiang Huainan, have today, all thanks to Ruoxi's father, I have been married to my wife for 20 years, and I have no children under my knees, it is estimated that there will be no one in the future, I have always regarded Ruoxi as a daughter, and in the future, half of my property belongs to her." ”

Chu Yun looked at the five million check and laughed: "So do you think that the girl shouldn't be friends with someone like me so that I can stay away from her?" ”

"No, whether she likes you or not, I will never interfere with her private feelings and circle."

"And what do you mean by that?" Chu Yun didn't understand, this Jiang Huainan dragged himself to tell such a long story, and gave himself a check for 5 million, could it really be a contact relationship?

Jiang Huainan looked at Chu Yun: "You know, I'm not a person who can express emotions, and the role of a loving father here is really not suitable for me, so my relationship with Ruoxi is just on the obligations of guardians and wards, but as a person who cares about her, she is already 18 years old, I think proper entertainment is not impossible, but if it is regarded as the main business, it will really be a headache...... Let's get straight to the point, Chu Yun, I found that Ruoxi has a good impression of you and listens to you, judging from your past performance, you are indeed a trustworthy person, so I hope you can persuade her. ”

"5 million just need to persuade it, then this money is really easy." Chu Yun said with a smile.

But Jiang Huainan didn't smile: "5 million is just a deposit in the early stage, as long as you can persuade Ruoxi to take on the responsibility of my successor, and are willing to accept my arrangement to study at Harvard University, after the matter is completed, I will give you another 10 million." ”

This time, it was Chu Yun's turn to laugh.
