Chapter Forty-Eight: A Basin of Cold Water

Back at the company, Fu Huayong was happily displaying the local products brought to them from his hometown in Chen Erdong's office, including ecological pork, sausages, eggs, etc., and when he saw Lin Daqi coming back, he immediately beckoned him over, although he had not seen him for more than a week, Fu Huayong still missed these two brothers very much.

Lin Daqi was not very interested, and in the face of the enthusiastic Fu Huayong, he only said a few perfunctory words, Fu Huayong thought that he was not interested in these native products, and said slightly apologetically: "Daqi, don't you like it?" ”

"No, it's just a little tired." Chen Erdong's eyes couldn't see anywhere, he must have gone to Tang Ye to see what happened, so he asked:

"What's wrong? Didn't you take Feng Miao to Tang Ye? What's wrong? ”

"If anything happens, go through the formalities and sign a contract." Lin Daqi is still covering up.

He didn't deliberately hide his thoughts, but he felt very uncomfortable being despised by Gu Xiaorong's parents. His father is the respected Director Lin, and he also mixes well among his peers, but just like that, he still can't reach the threshold of the Gu family, which is undoubtedly a blow to his self-esteem.

"Just us, are we still hiding? Say, what's wrong? ”

"That's it, Daqi, if you really want to say anything, so that we don't worry." Fu Huayong also agreed.

Seeing that the two brothers were so concerned, his soul was comforted for a short time, so he told the truth of the matter.

Originally, Chen Erdong was a good hand at solving problems and dredging knots in his heart, but after listening to Lin Daqi's story, he pondered for a moment, and then said:

"If I were Gu Xiaorong's father, I would be like this."

As soon as these words came out, it sounded particularly harsh to Lin Daqi, and Fu Huayong was also surprised why Chen Erdong not only did not comfort him, but stood on the side of Gu Xiaorong's parents.

"Then what do you mean, if I don't have a net worth of millions, I can't be with Xiao Rong?" It can be seen that Lin Daqi is not very happy.

"Theoretically." Chen Erdong continued to speak coldly.

"Who the supported me and Gu Xiaorong so much in the first place? Now you're going to tell me I'm not worthy of her? What the do you mean, Chen Erdong? Lin Daqi was furious, he was already angry, he really couldn't figure out that Chen Erdong would say such things when he needed comfort the most.

Fu Huayong, who was on the side, saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly stood in front of Lin Daqi, holding his arms, for fear that he would be impulsive, this was the first time he had seen Lin Daqi and Chen Erdong like this.

"Dayong, it's okay, you get out of the way and listen to what I've said." Chen Erdong was unhurried, lit a "35", and calmly faced Lin Daqi's anger.

"No matter who you're with, you have to be financially free to give their parents peace of mind and peace of mind later in life. Freely? Rely on Big Ear Media? I've never regretted starting a business, but the reality is, how long does it take for us to achieve financial freedom, have you ever wondered? ”

These words were like a sweeping monk's three-foot qi wall, blocking the tense Lin Daqi, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, cocked Erlang's legs, and Fu Huayong immediately sat down against his body.

"Originally, when we won Gonghu No. 1, I thought we could soar immediately, but look at it, apart from this list, what other business do we have?"

"That's what you say, what I did before was some rubbish?" Chen Erdong provoked Lin Daqi to be unhappy again.

"You misunderstood, I mean economic benefits. If it is okay according to your understanding, then let me ask you, how much do you get in exchange for so many awesome works? Are you willing? This sentence is very poignant, especially to Lin Daqi's sore spot, he has seen many unsatisfactory works in the industry, but the fees are much higher than him.

"We have started from 2,000 yuan per person per month at the beginning, to 8,000 yuan per month plus dividends at the end of the year, as well as the salaries of more than a dozen people up and down the company, if there is no Gonghu No. 1, what will we do? Then the question now comes, after Gonghu is done this year, the billboard will be taken by Jinshi or Tianma next year, the real estate will be sold, Gonghu will not need us, what will we eat then? Chen Erdong's organization is very clear, not like a temporary idea, this is indeed the most serious problem of Big Ear Media.

"Dongzi, if there is no Gonghu, we have other businesses, so we don't need to be so pessimistic?" Fu Huayong timidly interjected.

"That's right, there are other businesses, okay, continue to lay off people, control within 10 people, change offices, we cut salaries, are you willing?" This sentence left Fu Huayong speechless.

Throughout the Spring Festival, Chen Erdong almost didn't go out, stayed at home and sorted out the bits and pieces in detail since the company's opening, and more importantly, he was judging the future of the company.

According to his prediction, it is not difficult for Big Ear Media to continue to operate, but it is very unlikely that it will really get ahead and become a leader in the industry, or it will take a long time to gain status by qualifications. In the end, the high does not become the low, which is obviously not the result that Chen Erdong wants.

Another reason that prompted him to think was Tang Ye, from the first time he went to Xinyu to invest, his heart was touched, Tang Ye came all the way, Chen Erdong remembered it vividly.

The string of seven-digit RMB balances appeared in his dreams like ghosts, and Tang Ye's annoying mouse-clicking remarks were like a harbinger of a prophecy.

When Tang Ye lobbied him to do it together, he did have a heartbeat, but he was not resolute enough, or he didn't know how to open his mouth to Lin Daqi and Fu Huayong, so on Chinese New Year's Eve in the farmhouse restaurant, he interrupted Tang Ye, who was full of wine.

"What exactly do you want to say? I'll tell you about Xiaorong, why are you giving me so much gossip? After a few minutes of silence, Lin Daqi broke the silence.

"It's all gone, the first day of work today, there is not much to do, get off work on time, these ecological pork and eggs brought by Dayong are just taken back to taste."

Chen Erdong didn't want to continue talking, the timing was not right today, and he regretted a little that he shouldn't have said these cruel words when Lin Daqi was frustrated.

"Isn't this basin of cold water enjoyable? Leave it alone after splashing? Oh, okay, let's go, Dayong, I'm going home. He only said goodbye to Fu Huayong, and didn't even take the local products he brought.

"What's wrong with you two, this has just finished the New Year, it's good luck, what kind of quarrel?" Fu Huayong was full of sadness, what he was most afraid of was that Chen Erdong and Lin Daqi had an awkward relationship.

Chen Erdong picked up his bag of native products and smiled at Fu Huayong:

"Dayong, everyone has their own ambitions, everyone's goals are different, don't worry, stay in the company, we will continue to do it, I'm just thinking about some other possibilities." I'm going back too, so I'll give you a hard time. ”

"Hey, I'm so satisfied now, I really don't know what else you want to do? Let's go, let's go, out of sight and out of mind. Fu Huayong rarely complained, and Chen Erdong left the company with local products.
