After all, Li Shusheng has the grace of a year-old friend to me, after all, he is Li Yun's father, after all, I still owe him some inexplicable money and some indescribable favors.

On the other hand, what will the western town become after Li Shusheng gives up on his development in Hangzhou? What kind of imprint will history leave on this town? As a classic real estate case for later generations, can the western town still create the classic miracle of jumping tenfold in ten years?

Logically speaking, I know that there are some unavoidable ceremonies at the beginning of July every year, not only ceremonies such as graduation ceremonies, but also meals and drinks.

The first week of July is almost spent in a variety of casual meals. The first day is our company's graduation dinner, which includes celebrating the graduation of three employees of our company and successfully obtaining their degree certificates, of course, it will be Zhao Xiaoxuan's turn next year. Second, I wish Comrade Bao Lina a decisive victory in the next postgraduate examination, and congratulate our company on recruiting a new person, a girl named Tang Yan, who is our finance, and will take office next week. Of course, she didn't participate in this dinner, so she had to wait until the next dinner. Third, congratulations to the company since its establishment of the total turnover of more than one million yuan, this is a good start, marking the arrival of the company's good situation of food and clothing.

There were four of us again, sitting in the private room of the small hotel in front of the school, which felt not too lively, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Because Bao Lina remembered her graduate school entrance examination, Zhao Xiaoxuan was still depressed, Chen Qili was still silent, and I was the only one there to play a happy one-legged show during the whole dinner.

I secretly made up my mind that if there are fewer people in this company, it won't work, it's all a bunch of stuffy gourds, and it's boring.

Returning to the Bao Mansion after the dinner, Lina suddenly said, "Zhou Xu, have you noticed that Zhao Xiaoxuan is getting more and more weird. ”

I said, "What's weird?"

"She used to always call you Brother Xiaoxu, it's not that I'm jealous, she really calls it well, but now she always calls you Mr. Zhou. Our company is the only one who calls you Mr. Zhou. ”

"You're still jealous," I said with a smile, "Zhao Xiaoxuan must have felt that it was not good to be so ------ in front of you." ”

"I said I wasn't jealous, people are your childhood sweethearts' old classmates. I just think she's getting less and less like talking. ”

"What a childhood sweetheart, if you still don't admit it, you're just jealous."

"Oh, can you talk less nonsense, people are serious." Bao Lina pursed her lips angrily, I think no matter how old she is, she will always maintain this "kawaii" nature.

I said, "I'm serious, is she going to be depressed?"

Bao Lina said: "Won't it, depression? I have a friend who is from the psychology department, why don't you create a chance for the two of them to meet?"

"Well, that's fine." I suddenly came back to my senses and said strangely, "Lina, why do you suddenly care about Zhao Xiaoxuan?"

Lina glanced at me and said, "Zhao Xiaoxuan is an important employee of our company, I think, how to say, in fact, she is more talented than Chen Qili, and I also like the design that Qili does, but I always feel that I am not as aura as Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan is the kind of genius who can easily make good designs without hard work." Oh, by the way, don't tell Chen Qili this. ”

I smiled and said, "Lina, you are also a genius, you have never studied finance, but you can calculate the accounts clearly, which is even more ------ than Li Yun before."

As soon as I said this, I saw that Bao Lina's face changed, and I knew that I had said the wrong thing again, and I had nothing to mention Li Yun.

I quickly changed the subject and said, "Your father must have had a terrible impression of me when he came that day, I think he really wanted to cut me down that day." ”

Lina said: "My father is the emperor of our family, but unfortunately even if he is the Jade Emperor, I still don't listen to him." Do you think I'm too rebellious?"

I said, "If I were your father, I wouldn't have agreed to my daughter living with such a stupid boy so early, it's too hasty." ”

Bao Lina glared and said, "What are you talking about, you said I was too hasty and shouldn't be with you?"

I sighed and said, "Lina, you are the only one who likes me, and in your father's opinion, I am not worthy of his precious daughter." ”

Lina softened her tone and said, "In my opinion, you are the most unmotivated man. ”

I sighed, this comment was a bit unexpected, but when I think about it, it does make some sense.

Lina then added, "You are arguably the least motivated and least promising of all the boys I have ever met. In fact, it's not that there is no interest, but you simply want to be productive. When you first opened the Wenxin Book House, you were purely playful, and you didn't plan to make a big career at all, and Lao He intended to let you be the secretary of the community center, but then you didn't seem to be interested at all, and you didn't go to the community center to participate in activities for a long time.

Later, when I opened a bookstore, I didn't even want to take care of it, that no coincidence was not a bookstore, except for a period of time after the opening, you also went to inspect it decently, came up with ideas, and made purchases and promotional activities, and then everything was gone, and now it all depends on Guo Ming and Cai Xiaohong to manage it there.

By chance, you met Zeng Yongshan and set up an advertising agency in order to advertise him, but what other business did you do besides Zeng Yongshan's business? Nope. You've never pulled any other advertisers, and I don't think it's a question of whether you can get it or not, it's that you haven't even thought about bringing in new business. You really trust me, all the finances are handed over to me, and the corporate accounts that you really can't do will be handed over to the accounting firm, and the money you give to the accounting firm in a year is worth the salary of two ordinary employees.

You have a talent for writing poetry, and when we went to Du Qing together, Du Qing said, you are a genius, but a naïve genius. You don't know what you're going to do to be the best, but that's not important because you never think of the word "best." Whether it's Guo Ming or Qian Haiping, you have never used their power to publish a collection of poems, and you have no intention of seeking fame.

Now it's okay, you took all the money out to buy a house, and you bought the house of a real estate company that is about to go bankrupt, just for a joke and a joke, just for the so-called tenfold gamble in ten years, really, I haven't seen such a game in the world. ”

"So, you're the least motivated guy I've ever met." Bao Lina finished saying these words in one breath, and finally concluded, "If you are someone else, with good conditions like you, talent like you, and even, luck like you, they will definitely have greater ambitions, have bigger goals, or work harder to make money, and climb up more desperately." Yes, someone else will definitely do that, but you won't, you Zhou Xu, you are a person who has no ambition in life!"

I was dumbfounded, but in fact I admit that Bao Lina knew me really, really, really, well, and she basically saw me through. I had never seriously thought about what she said before, but now that I think about it, she was right.

"Lina, you don't like me like this, do you?" I asked softly after a while.

"Nope." Lina said firmly, "I just like you like this!" What I like is the sequence of weeks without any ambition in life!"
