Yan Xin didn't expect Xiao Shiyu to like him for his face, because he looked like a certain star she liked.

It made him feel quite speechless.

But when I think about it carefully, I really didn't have any advantages in high school.

At that time, he didn't think he was good-looking, he didn't even want to look in the mirror, he was quite inferior.

Maybe what he disliked at that time was not his appearance, but the ragged clothes, revealing a poor and sour appearance.

Therefore, in his previous life, he really couldn't understand why Xiao Shiyu would still find him and meet him many years after graduation.

Now I understand a little bit - it turned out that I secretly liked him Yan when I was studying, and I have always had such a feeling.

I also understand why after they met that time in their previous life, they just drank a cup of coffee and talked about some of the past, and then they separated, and there was no contact again.

Because at that time, he was already middle-aged and wealthy, coupled with years of poverty, he had completely lost the image of his youth.

It starts because of the appearance, and it ends because of the appearance, which can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

"In her mind, I just gave birth to a good skin." Yan Xin thought so.

But I couldn't help but be a little curious, asking, "Which star do you think I look like?" ”

"Liu Huan." Xiao Shiyu sent such a message.

Yan Xin: "......"

I feel humiliated.

Even when he was middle-aged and blessed in his previous life, he didn't get lucky to that point.

Xiao Shiyu sent another one: "Just kidding, you won't be angry, right?" ”

Of course, Yan Xin couldn't say that he was angry, and replied to her: "No, I'm looking for the lyrics of "Song of a Good Man", and I'm going to sing a song 'The River Flows Eastward' to you." ”

"Hahahahaha." Xiao Shiyu typed six words in one breath.

Literally, it seems like she's quite happy.

Seeing such a reply, Yan Xin was also inexplicably a little happy - it's good to be able to joke, at least it shows that she is not in such a bad mood, and the two are still friends.

Xiao Shiyu sent another one: "Seriously, I think you look like Uncle Benshan." ”

Yan Xin typed and laughed at himself: "Is it because my shoe handle face is very authentic?" ”

Before it was sent out, Xiao Shiyu sent out another one:

"I'm sorry, I mistyped the name, I think you look a lot like Brother Guanxi."

Yan Xin pondered: "Isn't that still the same meaning?" ”

So, I sent that one out anyway.

Seeing the star mentioned by Xiao Shiyu, he suddenly thought of another thing: "It's August 2007 now, and Master Chen's laptop should almost be broken, right?" ”

That incident was a thing that shook the entire entertainment industry, and it became a hot topic for a long time, and it was still talked about many years later.

But he thought about it for a while, and he didn't seem to be able to do anything else except eat a melon.

It's not that there is no way to attract some traffic from that incident, but it's mainly a bit against public order, so after thinking about it, forget it.

The chat between him and Xiao Shiyu lasted until Xiao Shiyu got out of the car.

When the chat ended, he naturally deleted the chat history.

It's all become a habit.

This chat has relieved a lot of the deliberate sense of alienation that the two of them have had during this period of time.

There's no way to go back to the way things were, but it's not like you're a stranger later.

Yan Xin didn't have any other ideas, he just didn't want to be a good friend and suddenly become a stranger.

During this time, Feng Xi was very busy, and often didn't say a word for a day.

Yan Xin was by Alili's side, of course, it was impossible to take the initiative to chat with Feng Xi, that would be too dangerous.

Feng Xi didn't come to talk to him, and he just didn't reply.

In terms of the operation of Jinxi's e-commerce company, he has more contact with the directors of several online stores and Xue Bing, the director of operations, than with Feng Xi.

Xiao Shiyu also stayed in Pengcheng for more than ten days, with two female classmates, playing, researching, and later went to Hong Kong Island, where she stayed for one night and bought some things.

At that time, I also asked Alili on QQ if there was anything she wanted, and brought it over.

When she was in Yangcheng, she added Alili's QQ number.

At that time, he deliberately kept a distance from Yan Xin, as if the relationship was quite ordinary, but he got along very well with Alili.

Of course, Ellilie was embarrassed to ask a student girl for a gift, so she said that she didn't want anything now, and didn't let her bring a gift for herself.

However, Xiao Shiyu finally brought a gift to Ellili, a box of chocolates worth a few hundred yuan.

She is just a student girl, although the family is not bad for money, but she is not a rich family, and she can't afford too expensive things.

And on that day on Hong Kong Island, she also really bought some things, all of which were bought by relatives in her hometown, and she also spent a lot of money, and used up the tax-free quota almost completely, and there was no more money to buy expensive gifts.

When I went back, I passed by Yangcheng, met Yan Xin and Alili again, gave this box of chocolates, and had another meal together, and then returned to my hometown.

Didn't stay here overnight.

This also made Yan Xin a lot easier.

This last time they met, the two of them still maintained the same sense of distance as before, but in places where Elili's eyes couldn't see, occasional eye contact had some indescribable meanings.

Xiao Shiyu went back, and the time was already in mid-August.

Jinxi has been on the right track in Beijing, transferring some employees from their hometowns, recruiting some more employees locally, and also finding new suppliers and opening a fourth online store, mainly buying electronic products.

Their company's office is relatively close to Zhongguancun, and there are certain advantages to doing this.

The new online store opened, and Xingguang.com also gave great traffic support, and carried out a week-long preferential reward activity, and the sales volume increased all of a sudden.

At this time, the activity of the summer swimsuit goddess of Starlight Network has entered the finals, and the website has a lot of traffic, which can just take advantage of this opportunity to attract traffic.

Yan Xin was not involved in specific affairs, he was mainly responsible for the traffic support on the website.

The advertising fee should be collected, but the advertising position given is also the best, and he also used some thought on the text, and the price also gave great sincerity, with the slogan of half-price reward, and made a lot of money.

Feng Xi also put forward the idea of opening a fourth online store, and she didn't care about the specific things.

It's not that she doesn't want to care, but she really doesn't have time to care.

- At that time, she went to military training.

There is no contact with Yan Xin.

The weather is too hot, Yan Xin doesn't go to work much in the company, even if it's outside the community, he just occasionally goes over and takes a turn, and he will come out after staying for half an hour.

Anye Home Improvement Company also moved there, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor, and he happened to inspect both places.

Sometimes I go to the company's old office, where the company's music department is located, but I rarely go, not once a week.

Patrols can't do anything, just show a sense of presence and tell the people in the company that there is a pair of eyes staring at them.

Now the real estate industry is very hot, in this environment, Anye Home Improvement Company is also developing very well, a thriving.

Feng Chen is also full of ambition, and his goal has been upgraded from becoming a millionaire at the beginning to becoming a billionaire.

Although he is still a loser and owes a large amount of debt to the bank.

But the assets owned are there, and in total, the personal net worth has exceeded one million.

It's a reasonable thing to put the goal at the level of hundreds of millions.

The 20,000 yuan borrowed from Yan Xin was returned to him not long after.

He also mentioned to Yan Xin that Feng Xi started a business in the capital.

Yan Xin confessed to him: "I know this, and I have also invested in her company." ”

This matter can be hidden from other people, but it is impossible to hide it in front of Feng Chen, who also runs a company, so it is better to say it earlier.

Of course, there is another very important reason, that is, Feng Chen's tone is relatively tight-now he has not revealed the fact that he bought a house in Yangcheng and has a company, which means that he can keep the secret.

His words surprised Feng Chen: "You invested in her?" ”

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, I contributed part of the money and owned half of the shares of the company she started, which is the same as our cooperation." ”

Feng Chen stayed for a while and said, "How did you think of investing in her?" She has just finished high school, she has never done business, she has no relevant experience at all, I don't dare to invest in her as an elder brother, how dare you? ”

Yan Xin can't say that your sister is my woman, so she can only find a random reason: "Didn't you say that she started setting up a stall to make money when she was a freshman in high school?" I thought this was business talent, so I voted for her. ”

"Setting up a stall to do a small business, and starting a business to do a big business, that's not the same thing, why do you have such a big heart?" Feng Chen smiled bitterly.

Feng Xi wants to start a business by himself, he has no objection, anyway, she uses her own money, he thinks that if he has that courage, he can break through, even if it fails, it is also a valuable experience.

His sister is a top student, a proud son of the sky, and she already has such a high starting point, even if she fails, she can start again.

It's not a big deal to lose all the more than 300,000 yuan, and he, the elder brother, is supporting him in the back, and it's easy to make a comeback.

What he was worried about was that his sister, who had no experience at all, would fail to start a business and trap Yan Xin.

That's a bit of a shame for people.

And he felt that Feng Xi had made such a big plate at the beginning, more than 300,000 yuan was not enough, and he had to find someone to cooperate, which was a little too big, which was not a good thing.

Yan Xin said: "I don't have much money, if I fail, I fail, I am quite optimistic about your sister, I think she is a person who can achieve great things, so I invested in her." ”

Feng Chen said: "I also think she can achieve great things in the future, but I don't think she can achieve great things at the beginning of her business, she has business talent, but she is not necessarily a business genius." ”

"It's okay, this time it failed, you can still cooperate in the future, anyway, there is not much money, what is there to worry about?" Yan Xin said with a smile, "This is venture capital, of course there is risk, but once it succeeds, the rewards are also very rich, I am willing to bet on her." ”

"Well, you have the money, you are free." Feng Chen could only say this.

People don't mind losing money, so he has nothing to say.

But he was a little curious: "How did she find you?" Are you all familiar with each other? ”

"Huh?" Yan Xin was a little flustered, and then made up, "We have also met a few times, she added me QQ, a few days ago I congratulated her on being admitted to Beijing University, she told me about starting a business, said that she still needs some investment, asked me if I can help her get investment, and then chatted, and finally she persuaded me, I simply invested myself." ”

Although what he said is not true, it is reasonable, and he explained why he invested in Feng Xi.

Feng Chen didn't doubt it, but just sighed: "I didn't expect that the gold owner of our two brothers and sisters is you, you are the noble person of our Feng family!" ”

Yan Xin said with a smile: "The main thing is that I have obtained rich returns from cooperating with you, which has made me firm in my mind to invest in her." Even if the investment fails, with your successful investment, I still make money. ”

This is also true.

He didn't spend much money on investing in Anye Home Improvement, and he had already recovered his investment from many dividends, and he also made some money.

The most important thing is that now Anye Home Improvement Company has so many assets, and he also has half of it.

This rate of return is also quite generous.

Feng Chen thought about it, and this was the same reason.

Even if Yan Xin lost money on his sister's project, with the cooperation project of Anye Home Improvement, he still made money in the end.

That way he doesn't have to worry so deeply.

It's just quite emotional, I feel that the binding between the Feng family and Yan Xin is too deep.

I even had such a thought in my heart: "How nice would it be if this guy married my sister and became my brother-in-law?" ”

It's just that after this idea was born, it was extinguished by himself: "Impossible, my sister is not good-looking, and her temper is not good, he is young, handsome, and rich, and has so many choices, how can he look down on my sister?" ”

He's a man, and he certainly knows what men like about women.

Anyway, good academic performance won't be much of a plus.

Few of them are older brothers who think their younger sister is ugly.

There are few older brothers who think their younger sister is beautiful.

They have lived together since they were young, and no matter how ugly they look, they will look pleasing to the eye.

No matter how beautiful she looks, she won't feel so amazing.

So he felt that with Yan Xin's conditions, it was impossible to look down on his sister.

Even if his sister earns hundreds of millions of net worth, it is useless.

Because Yan Xin himself is not short of money.

In this regard, he even felt that the possibility of his sister-in-law was a little greater than that of his sister.

Ruan Siyao was also admitted to the university and also participated in military training.

She wants to study economics, and her future ambition is to help her sister and brother-in-law manage the company, manage finances or something, and she has no ambition to start her own business.

Feng Chen also hoped that she could return from her studies as soon as possible to help herself.

There is no shortage of talent in this world, but there is a lack of talent that people can trust.

Of course, the sister-in-law is her own family and a trustworthy object.

It's a pity that Yan Xin and Ruan Siyao are just ordinary friends, and they have always maintained a certain sense of distance, not like they can come together, which makes Feng Chen feel very regretful.

Yan Xin also explained to Feng Chen, he didn't want the news of his cooperation with Feng Xi to start a company to spread to his hometown, and hoped that Feng Chen could help him keep it a secret.

As for why he told Feng Chen, in his words, that is: "What is our relationship?" Can I hide it from you? ”

You need to hide it from others, but you can't hide it from Feng Chen.

Such a trust made Feng Chen feel a little honored, and immediately said to him: "Don't worry, my mouth is very strict, as long as you don't want to spread it, even if it is my parents, I won't tell them about this matter." ”

With such a guarantee from him, Yan Xin was relieved.

During this period, he also had contact with Bai Xiaoling, but it was relatively rare, basically once a week.

The main reason is that Bai Xiaoling does not have a mobile phone, and if she wants to contact him, she can only go to the Internet café in the town next door.

Her mother only allowed her to go to the Internet café once a week.

So they only have one chance to contact each other once a week.

Since Yan Xin told Bai Xiaoling that Feng Xi could introduce her to work in the capital, Bai Xiaoling did not clamor for him to introduce work, and when it came to part-time work, she said that she would come out after her mother's marriage was completed.

In this matter of a combined family, Yan's father was more subtle, and he couldn't ask anything from his mouth.

Yan Xin could only learn from Bai Xiaoling, and then go to his father to confirm.

The news I got from Bai Xiaoling showed that the progress was still good, the two met several times one after another, and Yan's father also went to Bai's house to help with farm work a few times.

Of course, her mother also went to Yan's house to help a few times.

There were also two times when he lived in Yan's house.

She said to Yan Xin: "Our mother's statement is that it was too late to stop and the work was not finished, so I just stayed here, anyway, my father has a lot of houses there." I don't know if I lived there or not, but I lived there twice anyway. ”

Yan Xin is not easy to speculate about such a thing.

But being able to stay overnight is in itself telling.

He asked his father, and his father also admitted that there was such a thing, of course, only admitted that people stayed overnight.

But he still admitted another thing - he was quite satisfied with the woman and could accept to form a family with her.

And it is true that the matter of marriage has also been discussed.

It has not yet been determined whether to obtain a license and put wine, or only to display wine without a license, or to only obtain a license and not to display wine.

It is also uncertain when the two will merge into one.

This is a combination of two families, and it is necessary to seek the opinions of all members of both families and reach an agreement before it can be done, and it is not something that two adults can decide.

Fortunately, Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling both supported this matter, so there were not too many twists and turns.

The only thing that can be regarded as a bit of a twist and turn is that after Bai Xiaoling's cousin and uncle knew about this matter, they put forward their opinions - Bai Xiaoling's mother can get married, but the house and land cannot be taken away, and must be left to them.

- They think that the house and land belong to the Bai family, and her mother will no longer be the Bai family when she gets married, so she has no right to continue to own the house and land, and must stay.

This request has a bit of a bullying meaning for orphans and widows, and most people will not agree to it.

Now that the agricultural tax has been completely abolished, there are subsidies for growing grain, and having land in hand is equivalent to wealth.

So Bai Xiaoling was indignant, feeling that her uncle and uncle were too bullying and didn't want to hand them over.

However, Yan Xin felt that there was no need to argue with others over this issue - the most important thing was that he didn't want to have too much land at home to make his father work harder.

So he persuaded Bai Xiaoling to give up these: "You have also seen my house, such a big house, and so beautiful, it is no problem for your mother and daughter to live in." The land can't be planted so much, it's still so far away, there's no need to stay in your hands, just let it go, don't get into trouble for this trivial matter. ”

And he also promised that he would definitely introduce Bai Xiaoling to a stable job in the future, and there would be no need to come back to be a farmer.

Under his persuasion, Bai Xiaoling also made a retreat.

This combined family affair is almost done.

In the end, the plan was to combine into a new family in the winter.

Get the certificate, but because they are all second marriages, they will not feast guests, they will only set up wine and invite some relatives to have a meal, and then it will be over.
