Chapter 364: Half-brother
After Yan Xin returned to Yangcheng, he went to the capital several times for the affairs of Jinxi E-commerce Company, but each time it was only a day or two, and he came back soon.
Most of the time he stayed in Yangcheng and accompanied Arili.
Sometimes I will go to Xiaorong Town, go to Ai Jing for two days, and by the way, I will go to Fengxiang City to visit Aunt Li, who has persecution paranoia.
He also recommended square dancing to Aunt Li, a cultural and entertainment activity, and encouraged her to have the opportunity to dance square dance with those old men and old ladies, which not only exercised her body, but also cultivated her sentiments, killing two birds with one stone.
There is another advantage of square dancing, which he is embarrassed to say, is that he can go there and meet some old men.
Aunt Li is a divorced woman, and her mental problems are also after the divorce, Yan Xin feels that the most important thing should be that she is too lonely to stay alone in this community, and she is a little afraid, so she will be cranky and paranoid.
Being able to find a reliable old man, put together a new family, and have such a companion will be much better.
In her previous life, Aunt Li found a suitable old man when she was dancing in the square, and with the company of that old man, there was no trouble in the future, and the spirit of the whole person was much better.
Of course, he hopes that Aunt Li can get rid of the torment caused by the persecution paranoia as soon as possible.
During this period, he met Cai Qixiang again, in the manager's office of the property management office of Fengxiang City.
By August 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States had been in a lot of noise.
Although there are not many reports in the domestic news, those who care about the international economic reports know that this time the subprime mortgage crisis is quite big, and if it breaks out, it may plunge the global economy into recession.
Cai Qixiang naturally saw the relevant reports, and then remembered what the young man said about the subprime mortgage crisis when he met Yan Xin for the first time.
At that time, I just listened to it, and I didn't take it too seriously.
But later, when I learned more, I found that things could really develop in the direction that Yan Xin said.
This made him appreciate Yan Xin a little more.
When they met again, he was much more enthusiastic about Yan Xin, and asked him with concern when he was going to marry Alili.
And arrogantly said that he would take out a villa as a dowry for Ellili's illegitimate daughter.
Regarding such a question, Yan Xin still said the same thing - wait until you reach the age of legal license, and then talk about marriage.
Cai Qixiang told him that it doesn't matter if he hasn't reached the age of marriage, and there is another way, that is, to set the wine first, hold a wedding, and then come to the testimony when he reaches the age.
There are a lot of such things, and some rural areas are like this, only putting wine on the table, not getting a license, and waiting until the daughter-in-law gives birth to a son, and then come to get a license to get married.
Of course, Yan Xin didn't agree, he said that this would be wronged to Ellili, and he couldn't let the woman he liked suffer such grievances.
- In fact, he didn't dare to hold a wedding with Ellili, for fear that Feng Xi would not end well after he found out.
What to do in the future will be said later, in that situation that has not yet come, he can't find his own death.
The second time they met, Yan Xin and Cai Qixiang talked about the future economic trend, and once again emphasized that the subprime mortgage crisis on the side of the United States is very serious and will cause very serious consequences.
The domestic economy looks like it is booming now, but it will also be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis by next year at the latest.
In the next period of time, you need to be cautious about investing and not allowing yourself to have too much debt, so as not to disconnect the capital chain.
If you can return cash, try to return it as much as possible, and it is best to have more funds at your disposal, so that when the time is right, you can get the most resources at the lowest cost.
ββRegarding the subprime mortgage crisis, Yan Xin's description is very terrible, and it will affect the whole world.
But at the same time, he said that the impact will not be too long, at least the impact on the country, that is, for a year or two, and it is not even needed.
So as long as you survive this year or two, you will be able to usher in good days.
Yan Xin and Cai Qixiang said these things, mainly thinking that they can cooperate with him in the future, and they can seize the opportunity to make a big investment in this subprime mortgage crisis, and it is best to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the real estate market.
As someone who has experienced it, he knows all too well how fragrant the real estate market is after the subprime mortgage crisis.
If he wants to cooperate with the other party, of course, he hopes that such a partner can be larger and can use more funds, so that he can eat a bigger cake.
The other party will make a little more money because of his pulling, and he has nothing to mind, as long as he can make a lot of money with it.
If Cai Qixiang does not have this awareness, and sees that the money in real estate is easy to make now, and then continues to increase investment in this area, when the crisis comes, there is a problem with the capital chain, even if there is a good opportunity later, there is no capital that can be used, it will be very depressing.
This time, the things he said also attracted Cai Qixiang's attention, and he said at that time that he would invest cautiously or even not invest in the next period of time, but focus on recovering funds.
Cai Qixiang doesn't have QQ, of course, he can't add QQ friends, but they all save each other's mobile phone numbers.
After this meeting, Cai Qixiang will often call Yan Xin to discuss the trend of the economy and what to do in the future to have a better development prospect.
The two of them became more connected.
The relationship between the two of them has improved, and even Ai Jing and Alili have benefited and received more pocket money.
In August, Cai Qixiang bought a house of more than 100 square meters for Alili in the fourth phase of Park Garden, bought it in full, and gave her 500,000 yuan for the decoration.
This decoration project, of course, still fell to Anye Home Improvement Company.
In August, the weather was still hot.
On this morning, Yan Xin was playing with his mobile phone at home, and Alili, who worked in the company, called him: "Are you free now?" β
"I'm free now, is there anything going on?" Yan Xin asked.
Generally speaking, for less important things, Arily will send him QQ messages instead of calling.
If you need to make a phone call, it is a relatively urgent matter and needs to be dealt with immediately.
That's why Yan Xin asked.
At the same time, I was thinking about what the reason might be for Arily calling him now.
"My dad came to Yangcheng, he wants to come to our company to have a look, and meet you by the way." Arily said.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go over, when will he arrive?" Yan Xin asked.
"About an hour." Arily said.
"Do you want me to pick him up?" Yan Xin asked again.
"No, he came by himself, and our company is not difficult to find, so there is no need to pick it up." Arily said.
After a pause, he added, "This time he didn't come alone. β
"Isn't that normal?" Yan Xin said with a smile, "A big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, when he goes out, he always has to follow the bodyguard secretary or something." β
Cai Qixiang didn't bring a bodyguard with him when he went out, Yan Xin wasn't sure, anyway, his driver was five big and three thick, and he looked very capable of fighting.
But I do take a secretary with me when I go out, and I still have a very bewitching secretary, the kind with black silk heels.
The old man's aesthetic ability is still there.
Alily said: "It's not this, he also brought ...... this time"
At this point, she paused, as if thinking about the wording, before she said,
"Brought his son here......"
Cai Qixiang's son is her half-brother, but she doesn't want to call out the word brother, and she doesn't want to admit that she has such a half-brother.
He is the son of the Cai family, and he can appear openly.
And she is a person who can't see the light, and can only hide secretly in a dark place.
Such a comparison made her unable to regard that brother as her own relative.
There is still such a thought in my heart - that half-brother took away her father's love and stole her life.
The concept that her mother has always instilled in her is also like this, so she has deep hostility towards Cai Qixiang's wife and son.
Yan Xin was stunned for a moment before he figured out that Alili meant that Cai Qixiang had brought Cai Yue's playboy over.
When they met for the first time, Cai Qixiang said that he wanted to introduce them to each other, and he agreed, and he didn't feel strange to bring people over this time.
Oh and said, "I see." β
I could feel that Arili's mood was a little low when she spoke, and she knew what the reason was, so she comforted her again: "Don't worry, I will keep my distance from him, I will always be on your side." β
Arily was not in a good mood, but when she heard him say this, she couldn't help laughing again, and said:
"You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to do anything for me, I don't care about that."
said that he didn't care about this, but when he heard Yan Xin say such things, he felt quite warm in his heart, and he felt a sense of happiness.
Men care about their feelings, and of course they feel happy.
Then he said: "My father asked me not to appear in front of his son, lest his son be suspicious, and asked me to explain to you, you should not mention your relationship with me in front of his son, just treat him as a normal business relationship." β
Although she was warmed by Yan Xin's statement before, when she said this, her mood was still a little low.
This also made Yan Xin understand that she was depressed, not just because Cai Qixiang wanted to bring her son over, but because this bad old man also made this kind of insulting request, not to let her appear, not to let her relationship with Yan Xin be exposed.
is obviously reminding her that she is a person who cannot see the light.
Even if the old man gave her an illegitimate daughter a house worth millions a while ago.
This kind of differential treatment is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
But the truth is so cruel, and he can't help it.
After being silent for a while, he said: "This is too contemptuous of people, why don't I find a way to beat him up and give you out of anger?" β
He was very disgusted with Cai Yue.
In her previous life, Elili's car accident was planned by this person behind the scenes, and she was a murderer.
Of course, a large part of the tragedy of Ellili in her previous life was due to having such a superb mother, but the culprit who paralyzed her in bed was Cai Yue, her half-brother.
Alili didn't want to call him brother, and Yan Xin agreed.
This man is not worthy.
If he could beat him up without breaking the law, Yan Xin really didn't mind doing it.
Of course, he also knew that that it was impossible to do that in reality.
People are guests from afar, and it is not good to entertain others, and they have to beat them up, which is too unusual.
He still can't do such a thing.
That just makes Arily happier.
Arily was startled, and hurriedly said, "Don't mess around, it's illegal to beat someone." β
Yan Xin said: "For your sake, what about breaking the law?" As long as they are not injured, they will be detained for more than ten days at most. β
"That's not going to work, you can't be detained for a day." "He doesn't deserve the price you pay. β
"He's not worth it, but you're worth it," Yan Xin said, "As long as it can make you feel better, what if I detain you for more than ten days?" β
"But I'll be unhappy that you're detained," said Elily, "don't do anything stupid. β
Yan Xin just coaxed her to be happy, and he didn't really beat the other party - besides, if he really fought, he didn't know who beat whom.
Hearing her say this, she got off the donkey: "Okay, for your sake, I'll let him go today." If you are still wronged like this in the future, I don't care if it is your father or your brother on the other side, I will not be polite, I must have to pay them back tenfold! β
When I said these words, I still felt very embarrassed in my heart, this is the behavior of coaxing other people's simple girls and proper scumbags.
But he quickly excused himself again: "I was originally a scumbag, and it is also appropriate to say something that only scumbags say." Besides, although I lied to her, what did she lose? Nor is it? Isn't it good to have fun and harvest happiness? β
In the end, the conclusion is good.
By the time he changed his clothes and went to the company, Alili had already cleaned up her general manager's office and stood at the door downstairs waiting for Yan Xin's arrival.
After Yan Xin came, she talked to Yan Xin for more than ten minutes, mainly to tell him not to be impulsive and not to make the relationship so stiff.
After saying it many times, after getting Yan Xin's many promises, he left with confidence.
At this time, Cai Qixiang had not come over.
Yan Xin called the old man and asked him where he had arrived, and the answer he got was that he had not yet arrived in Yangcheng City, and he would still be able to come over for a while.
Now that the weather is very hot, he didn't wait stupidly at the door, so he entered the office of Anye Home Improvement on the first floor.
This property unit was bought by him, with a total of two floors, the first floor is rented to Anye Home Improvement Company, and the second floor is the office of Starlight Entertainment Company.
There are not many people working in Anye Home Improvement Company, the office only occupies one-third of the space on the first floor, and the remaining two-thirds are separated into a store that sells decoration materials, and the business is quite good.
The store is now watched by Ruan Mengyao, who doesn't care much about the company's business anymore, and only occasionally helps to check the accounts.
On the side of the company's decoration business, a business manager surnamed Qin was hired, who was in the office every day.
Yan Xin entered the office of Anye Home Improvement, and the air conditioner was turned on inside, which was much cooler all of a sudden.
After looking around, Feng Chen was not there, so he asked the business manager surnamed Qin: "What about your general manager?" Where did he go? β
Manager Qin knew that Yan Xin was also one of the bosses of the company, so he stood up and said with a smile:
"Mr. Feng went to the construction site of a community to supervise, and we have five orders of business in that community, and he went over to take a look."
Yan Xin sighed.
Feng Chen is quite responsible, he has endured hardships, and he is very willing to endure hardships.
He spends very little time in the office, most of the time he runs outside, either to supervise the work at the construction site, or to drive the car to deliver decoration materials, and he doesn't talk much about the business in person, but only takes a final look at the contract and then signs it.
It's a blessing to have such a partner.
Yan Xin can't do this step himself, he can lie down, he won't sit, and he won't let himself work so hard.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call to Feng Chen:
"Can you find time now?"
"What's wrong? What's the matter? Feng Chen asked him.
Yan Xin said: "Today, Cai Qixiang, the boss of Fengxiang Real Estate, will come over, and that person is the developer of the community where I just started to work, do you know?" β
"Oh, I heard you." Feng Chen said.
I was curious again: "How did you get involved with such a big boss?" Could he be the one who backs you behind the scenes? β
Yan Xin denied: "Of course it's not him." β
He also explained: "But we may cooperate in the future, and he came over this time to discuss the possibility of future cooperation." I mean, he's in real estate, you're in interior decoration, and it's barely in this industry, so I think if you have time, you can come and meet you, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. β
Feng Chen's voice suddenly became excited: "You're right, we have a lot of room for cooperation. When is he coming? I'll go over now! β
Yan Xin raised his wrist, looked at the time on the Rolex gold watch that Cai Qixiang gave him, did addition and subtraction, and said, "There is about half an hour." β
"I'll drive over right now!" Feng Chen said excitedly.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry, be careful on the road, we have time," Yan Xin reminded, "People are real estate bosses, billionaires, you also have to dress more formally, grandly, show your demeanor as the owner of a home improvement company, don't come over in uniforms and a hard hat." β
Feng Chen has been a boss for so long, but most of the time he still dresses like a construction site worker, and sometimes he even picks up tools and works directly.
Yan Xin felt that it was still necessary to make this reminder.
"Alright then, I'll go home first, clean myself up and come back." Feng Chen said and hung up the phone.
