The familiar bell rang for the end of class, and after a while, the children who had dispersed from school poured out of the iron gate like a school of fish and threw themselves into the arms of their parents one by one.

Originally, Chen Nian still missed the time when he walked out of the Children's Palace with Xie Yi when he was a child.

But the words of gratitude made him frown, and he had no time to care about anything else.

"When did it start?" He asked.

"It was more than a year ago."

It's been so long.

Chen Nian was a little speechless for a while.

He didn't doubt Chen Ri'an's purity that wanted to get close to him, but he felt inexplicably absurd, because he never linked Chen Ri'an to the word "failure to do business".

What a proud and conceited person Chen Ri'an is.

How could it be possible to put failure and decadence in front of others.

Chen Nian smiled helplessly.

Only then did he suddenly realize that there were traces of Chen Ri'an's sudden change of temperament. But he never cared about his father, and he didn't even know that there was such a big problem in the company.

He subconsciously took out his mobile phone and opened the message list, but when he saw the word "Dad", his hand paused.

"No wonder ......," he muttered suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Thank you for asking.

"During the Chinese New Year this year, I seemed to hear Uncle Bai say that the company was going to move back to China."

Xie Yi's eyes showed doubts that could not be concealed: "Go back to China? ”

"Hmm...... I thought they were joking. ”

Chen Nian has always been very resistant to shopping malls, and it is the New Year, he really thought that Uncle Bai was joking, so he didn't ask.

Uncle Bai's name is Bai Sha, not only the main person in charge of the company's administration, but also Chen Ri'an's confidant for many years.

To promote the company to reach its heyday, Baisha has made great contributions.

But now, if even Uncle Bai is really ready to return to China, it means that Ri'an Company may really be at the end of the road.

What's more, Ri'an Company was originally a market for C people.

Country C has a small population, but there is a large gap in the capital market, and most of the people there are rich owners, so not long after settling in country C, the Ri'an Home Furnishing brand that created the concept of "comfortable home" quickly set off a gust of wind in the local area.

What's more, Ri'an Company also took the lead in creating a "delivery express" model, which facilitated the online purchase of local residents.

Returning to China means that all the hard work of ten years has been wasted, and it means that Ri'an must readjust its positioning and marketing strategy to compete with the domestic home furnishing brand market that has long been saturated.

No matter how you calculate it, it's not a good deal.

So—

"Why did my godfather have the idea of returning to China? And why did it come to a situation where the stock price plummeted in country C? ”

Thank you for opening a new round of stock price index to show the old year, and the data of "Ri'an Home" shows a decline rate of "40%".

This is indeed a red sign that "bankruptcy" is imminent.

"And this," thanks clicked on another page, "This is an inside message, Jing sent it to me." ”

Chen Nian took the phone and read the content carefully.

In the third quarter of the previous year, the company had a new round of financing because it was preparing to launch a new home project.

At that time, the company's prosperity was not bad, although the specific content was not announced, but the stock market also rose sharply, and the amount of investment was not small.

But not long after the plan was sold, Ri'an suddenly sold a large number of shares for no reason within half a month.

The incident happened suddenly, which made the originally optimistic shareholders panic for a while.

From that time, the company began to go downhill.

"Do you want to ask your godfather about this?" Thanksgiving hesitated.

But it is not a taste in the heart of the old man.

Perhaps, Chen Ri'an's sudden change is not entirely unreasonable.

Chen Ri'an has always had an extremely shrewd mind, and his business career has always been smooth sailing, and he has never encountered any major setbacks.

But if the company really came to the point of despair.

It can really cause a sudden change in a person's thinking and psychology.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian sighed, shook his head, and put the phone back in his pocket.

Since Chen Ri'an didn't mention this matter to him last night, he must have his own considerations.

But in the next second, the mobile phone rang in his pocket, and Chen Nian took it out and took a look, it was Chen Sisi's phone.

His brow furrowed slightly: "Hey, sister." ”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Sisi didn't give him time to catch his breath: "Are you and Xiaoyi back?" Mom said she wanted to talk to you. ”

Talk?

Chen Nian and Xie Yi glanced at each other.

"I think mom might have an idea." Chen Sisi lowered his voice, "Let's talk about it when you come back." ”

Hung up the phone, tangled for a while, and Chen Nian opened the message list again.

After searching for a long time, he flipped out the chat interface with Baisha.

After thinking about it, he still sent a message to Uncle Bai.

But there was no immediate reply.

Chen Nian smiled, lowered his head, and bumped into Xie Yi's eyes with some anxiety and uneasiness.

He rubbed his grateful face soothingly: "Let's go home first." ”

Now, Chen Qingru's matter is more important.

……

Returning to his home in the suburbs from the city, Chen Qingru had already prepared a table of dinner waiting for them.

Chen Nian didn't think about it at all when he rented this small villa, and one day they would still have a family to eat together.

As a result, there is no large table for eating at the minimalist home.

But Chen Sisi has a clever plan.

She re-laid the carpet and sent Wu Ning to the next door to get a small folding square table.

The table was small, but after removing half of the legs, they sat on the carpet and ate at just the right height.

Chen Qingru came out of the kitchen with a large pot of barley pork rib soup.

Wu Ning hurriedly laid out the dinner cloth on the table first, and took a large portion of the heavy stew with his hands and feet.

A stir-fry, a stir-fried beef and a pot of soup, Chen Qingru didn't prepare much, but it was delicious enough.

Xie Yi got up on his knees, scooped up the third bowl of soup he drank, and couldn't stop praising in his mouth: "This soup is really delicious." ”

Chen Qingru looked at her fondly, and took a small soup spoon to Chen Nian: "Quickly help Xiaoyi pick out the broken ribs, don't scratch it." ”

"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself."

"I'll come, I'll come," Chen Nian touched her elbow, "don't look at who gave the order, give me a chance to perform." ”

"Hey!"

Xie Yi smiled crookedly, got up and sandwiched a piece of beef for Chen Qingru.

"When will Ah Nian have this level of stir-frying." She teased, "Godmother can retire." ”

Hearing this, Chen Nian stopped doing it, put down the soup spoon, and was very aggrieved: "Didn't I hurt my hand some time ago?" I had made an appointment with Brother Qi to learn how to cook. ”

"Don't bother people." Chen Qingru bit down the beef, and said slowly but resolutely in a resolute tone, "In the future, Mom will teach you." ”
