Seven villages in Weifang.

Or the seven villages of Weifang.

This community where Ankang lived when he just graduated from college, this community that Ankang thought he would never come back after moving out, is now back again.

Coincidentally, Ankang not only moved back to the same neighborhood where she lived a few years ago, but also moved into the same apartment.

When Ankang moved all his luggage back to this house, he couldn't help but sigh. Everything has changed in Lujiazui, only the seven villages of Weifang have not changed. The neighborhood hasn't changed, the house hasn't changed, and even the neighbors who go up and down the stairs next door haven't changed.

Time seems to have stood still in this community located on the edge of Xiaolujiazui and in the hinterland of the mainland.

Neighbors were surprised by the tenant's return and asked about his well-being. Ankang could only smile helplessly and said: "After living in other places for a few years, I still find it more convenient to live in the mature community of Weifang Seven Villages." ”

This is true, otherwise KFC would not have opened a branch in this purely residential, non-commercial area.

Ankang moved back because the apartment he had been forced to buy near Century Park had been forced to sell. Living in the small house in Century Park, Ankang once fantasized about using that house as a wedding room. However, it backfired. In order to pay off the debt, he had to get rid of the apartment as soon as possible.

An Kang and Zhu Xue's five-year love marathon came to an abrupt end in 2009. Faster than many financial firms that failed to survive the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

So much has happened in the past year, but Ankang has been very fortunate and clever to avoid the biggest crisis he has ever faced. After resigning from Pepsicard, he was entrusted by a friend to take over his friend's company.

My friend's company has experienced a period of glory, but the company's rapid growth has masked many deficiencies in its management, especially risk management, which is the most fatal for financial companies. A loss of control in risk management caused the company to lose most of its customers, and thus also suffered a crisis of trust. And Ankang's friends have long been addicted to a life of pleasure and can't extricate themselves. He can only ask Ankang to help him manage his company.

This is a great opportunity for Ankang. When a company takes over during a trough period, as long as the company's performance can be increased by proper management, the realized benefits are extremely considerable.

However, after thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that this company was actually targeted by Ankang's old rival Zhou Mingfeng. Zhou Mingfeng used his strength and connections in Lujiazui's financial circle to carry out a long-term and brutal blow to Ankang's company, which finally led to the company having to close its doors in the end.

Ankang worked hard for a whole year, not only did he not make any money, but he invested a lot of money in order to keep the company running, including the debt he borrowed in his own name.

There is no money, no business, and heavy debts, in this situation where various conditions such as the right time, place and people are contrary, and the ability to be healthy has been questioned by Zhu Xue's mother.

Of course, the disagreement between Ankang and Zhu Xue's mother initially did not come from the career aspect, but from the lifestyle habits.

Although Ankang, who was born in the countryside, has been living in the family of Lin Mushuang in Shanghai, that is, his original father's family, Ankang has not actually been much affected by the Shanghai family. Because Ankang was in a critical period of study in those years, Lin Mushuang's parents had a tolerant attitude towards some differences in Ankang's life as long as they had good grades. This also leads to Ankang always being independent of Shanghai families, but it also maintains a huge difference from non-Shanghai families.

Ankang, a newcomer to Shanghai, is outside the two circles of Shanghai aborigines and Shanghai newcomers.

But the problem is that Zhu Xue's mother always treats Ankang as a Shanghainese, and also demands Ankang according to the standards of a traditional good man in Shanghai. Although Zhu Xue's mother had all kinds of complaints about Zhu Xue's father, she set Zhu Xue's father as an insurmountable benchmark in terms of taking care of the family.

Zhu Xue's father can work hard and rally around the stove with an apron, so that his wife can only be beautiful. But well-being is unacceptable.

Although he has not lived a life of clothes and food to open his mouth since he was a child, although he has not done housework, he can never do it around the stove all day long.

Ankang didn't understand why the love between him and Zhu Xue could have been very romantic and relaxed, why he was always dragged to the world by Zhu Xue's mother and to fatigue.

And Zhu Xue's mother also didn't understand what the meaning of her daughter being stupid with Ankang all day long.

And Zhu Xue also didn't understand very much, she was heartless, she was happy, and she had an expectation for the future, wouldn't it be good? Why do you have to arrange everything and repeat the same days every day, step by step?

Among all of them, only Zhu Xue's father, who was set up as a model family by Zhu Xue's mother, is actually the most carefree.

This made Ankang wonder if Zhu Xue's father really wanted to go around the stove, or if he wanted to leave a space in the kitchen to enjoy alone.

In the end, even Ankang thought that in Zhu Xue's house, perhaps only staying in the kitchen with Zhu Xue's father was the most relaxing.

It is true that differences in living habits, differences in family roles and understandings of positions can only create an atmosphere of disharmony in the family. Such an atmosphere is not irreconcilable, and it is completely possible to carry out labor reform at a later stage.

The real emotional crisis between Ankang and Zhu Xue was caused by the huge changes related to Ankang in this year.

It's been a whole year since I resigned from the company, and I haven't earned a penny, not to mention, and I've borrowed a lot of debt. This kind of debt repayment days may be endless.

Zhu Xue's mother asked An Kang: "Since you are in a friend's company, you are helping a friend." Then ask your friend to make up the money you borrowed. ”

Ankang said: "That's not what it means. It's a help, but it's also a real investment. I was not the only one who lost money, but all the shareholders, including my friends. There is no way for one shareholder to compensate another shareholder for losing money. ”

Zhu Xue's mother was very puzzled by this, and always thought that Ankang was concerned about small things, but he couldn't understand big things.

Because of the failure of the business, every time Ankang went to Zhu Xue's house to face her parents, she had a sense of guilt that she could not bow her head under the low eaves. And Zhu Xue's mother has always put pressure on Ankang.

Finally, Ankang's sale of the apartment near Century Park in order to pay off his debts became the fuse that triggered the crisis.

Things then went very quickly. Within a month, under the strong intervention of Zhu Xue's mother, Ankang and Zhu Xue ended their relationship.
