Gao Zhun was very happy when he left the building, and on the bus home, he sent a message to a friend, or at least a woman who is still a friend, with the words: "As I wish, I have entered Tongrui." ”

Soon he received a reply, "Wait for me in your store in the evening." ”

The smile on Gao Zhun's face was the same as the sunshine today, through the glass window of the bus, sweeping away the shadows on his face. In the street scene that departed backwards, Gao Zhun seemed to be saying goodbye to his past seriously.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take off the suit of clothes on his body three or two times, and put on a loose thread shirt, the collar had almost lost its elasticity, and this loose and collapsed feeling made him feel very intimate. Put on the jacket that was a little old, and the hem was covered with pulp because of the perennial run-in, and then rushed to his store in a hurry. The store is a 10-minute walk from where you live. As usual, there were several tables of customers waiting at the door, and there was a long queue of diners in front of the take-out window. He greeted the busy guys in the store one by one, and then walked to the back kitchen, where the head chef put on his apron sleeves, and then he sat down at the table and began to talk to the head chef about the back kitchen today. After finishing the head chef of running water and serving a warm old fire soup in the incubator, he drank it slowly, looking at the busy and orderly kitchen in the back kitchen, he was very relaxed, he had been watching this kind of busy and orderly fireworks for more than 20 years. Almost from the time he was sensible, he followed his father. When the soup was about to be finished, the executive chef sent the freshly covered cured claypot to the table next to him, and Gao Zhun felt that the quality of the claypot was good or bad, and soy sauce accounted for more than half of it.

The meal was hot, he ate slowly, and it was the busiest time of the day in the kitchen. The temperature of the fireworks made his hands and feet warm up after a cold morning. The soy sauce-soaked pot at the bottom of the sandcastle is the taste he misses the most every day, and it reassures him. Looking at the smoke machine posted on the stove one by one, and the dishes were torn off one by one and sent out with the finished dishes, he really felt the flow of money in the account today. "It's more real than looking at the numbers at the checkout every day." He always said to the head chef who had been in the restaurant since his father's time.

Watching the food preparation gradually depleted with the rush of people at lunch, Gao Zhun stood up and walked to the front hall with satisfaction. At this time, most of the diners in the restaurant are regular customers, because the portions of finished dishes at this time are more than ordinary portions. The kitchen is to reduce the loss in the store, and Gao Zhun is to retain some gourmets so that the store will always have some popularity. Therefore, regular customers also like to come to eat at the end of the lunch market. Gao Zhun chatted with some familiar faces, and finally walked behind the counter and sat next to the cashier girl.

Customers come and go, and the two-story restaurant is like this almost every day, and the diners are constantly flowing. This continued until after half past two in the afternoon, when the guys and the back kitchen began to eat. At this time, Gao Zhun will go back to his office on the second floor to take a lunch break, and it will soon be the beginning of the evening market. Since he took over the business at the age of 19, he has maintained this habit for eight years.

Shen Tong's lunch break was very sloppy, and he rested on the chair in his office for a while. The office has a sofa, but it belongs to Meiya. The door of the office was gently pushed open, and the movement woke up Mei Ya on the sofa, she saw Li Rui's figure appear at the door, Li Rui motioned to Mei Ya softly, he was also afraid of waking up Shen Tong on the chair. But Shen Tong still knew that he was coming. Shen Tong still closed his eyes and said, "How sneaky, come in and sit down." ”

"It's really the back of the head with eyes." Li Rui pushed the door in and sat on the single sofa next to Meiya.

Shen Tong slowly opened his eyes and saw Li Rui's haggard and miserable whiteness, a little about to lose the appearance of a living person.

"Are you still worried about your dad's death?" Shen Tong asked with concern, stood up and walked to Meiya and sat down.

"Yes and no." Li Rui thought back to the "leaves" and "foals" of the past few days, and smiled embarrassedly. Numb your spirit with "leaves" and delight your flesh with "foals". The deep-set eye sockets showed a light brown color, which made Li Rui look a lot more mature. Or rather, it's aged a lot.

"Be careful of Li Zhi, especially of those 'worthless pleasures' he gave you."

"It feels like I've worked all my life, and this short time is really alive." Li Rui's expression made Shen Tong feel a little guilty.

Shen Tong, Mei Ya and Li Rui looked at each other and were silent for a while. Meiya stood up and walked to the wine cooler in the room and poured Shen Tong and Li Rui a glass of soda with ice. Shen Tong took the cup brought by Mei Ya, raised his head and drank it all, and then put the empty cup on the coffee table in front of him. Li Rui held the cup and felt the coldness of the cup.

"I have prepared the documents, and I will give you the signature seal. You can show it to the lawyer. Li Rui said to Shen Tong.

"Give it to Meiya, she will arrange it."

"Then trouble Miss Zhang."

"Okay, who should I ask for?" Miya asked.

"Li Zhi, he's at the door." Li Rui pointed in the direction of the door, and Meiya smiled. Before going out, he stroked Li Rui's shoulder, and Li Rui patted the back of her hand.

Watching Meiya walk out, Shen Tong picked up the cup with only ice cubes left, poured a piece of ice into his mouth and chewed it.

"So determined." Shen Tong said.

"I can't help it, I can't help myself. I seem to be a prodigal son, but in fact I am forcing a good person to become a prostitute. Perhaps, I am just a solution. If I can't even do a solution, I'll just be a scrapped case. ”

"What else can I do for you?"

"Marry Miss Zhang and do a good job of Tongrui."

"Are you here to force marriage?"

"I'm here to pack up and leave." Li Rui looked at Shen Tong's eyes for a while, and both of them laughed.

"I met the Gao Zhun you recommended, and I understand your intentions."

"I am not afraid of the wind and waves of the sea, but I am afraid of the whirlpool in the gutter. I've been manipulated, you have to be safe. Anyone can sacrifice for your own safety. I'm gone, and I need a hard bone to protect you from the wind and rain. People give it to you, how to use it is up to you. We often say 'loyalty, sincerity, ability, and ability', and loyalty and sincerity are placed before ability and ability, and the truth is obvious. ”

"I understand, thank you! I owe you a great favor. ”

"Our friendship lasts forever." Li Rui raised his glass and saluted his relationship with Shen Tong.

The office door was slammed twice, and Miya opened the door and entered, and she walked between the two to tell them that the paperwork had been processed and that the afternoon shareholder meeting was about to begin.

The meeting was very long, because every detail and clause of the equity delivery had to be passed one by one, and the investors had their own plans, so it was destined to take time to negotiate. On the other hand, Li Rui is also responsible for financial work, and the company's detailed accounts also need to be audited and delivered, and these details also take a lot of time to deal with. The meeting lasted from the afternoon into the evening. Shen Tong knew very well that he would lose sleep tonight, so in order to stay awake, he drank six cups of coffee in the afternoon. It wasn't until everyone was tired and their minds were wondering when this would end that the parties agreed on the specifics of the settlement.

The meeting decided two things, one is Li Rui's equity change arrangement. Shen Tong became the largest shareholder of Tongrui, holding 48% of the shares, and Meiya entered the board of directors with 7% of the shares. Corresponding personnel changes, Shen Tong became the new chairman of the board of directors and stepped down as CEO according to the articles of association. The board of directors appointed Meiya as the CEO of Tongrui and concurrently served as the original COO, and the COO was reappointed by the chairman within 12 months after the meeting. Li Rui was the CFO and was represented by Song Sanmei, the current finance manager, until the board of directors formally appointed or otherwise appointed.

The second thing is to review several strategic projects related to the development direction of the company that Li Rui was responsible for, and the review determined that the company will continue to continue the diversified business route of Li Rui's time. Several projects are in the hands of Shen Tong and Meiya.

When he came out of the conference room, the pedestrians on the road were already sparse, and seeing Li Rui being escorted away by Li Zhi, Shen Tong had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word. Li Rui's back seemed to be gradually surrounded by darkness. After Shen Tong returned to his office, a deep feeling of tiredness hit him. He looked at Mei Ya, who was ordering food on his mobile phone, and wanted to speak, but it seemed that he didn't have the strength to speak. Until Miya asks him what he wants for dinner. Miya asked twice in a row, but she didn't get an answer. At this time, Meiya found that Shen Tong was sitting on the single sofa with his eyes closed and asleep. The night is still long. Shen Tong's sleep was quiet and calm, until Meiya was a little worried about whether Shen Tong was motionless and died suddenly. She woke Shen Tong up.

When he opened his eyes, Shen Tong's eyes were full of confusion, he looked around in amazement, and finally looked at Meiya's worried expression.

"Go home." Shen Tong said slowly. Miya nodded.
