Chapter 17 Old Things

"Yan Feng and I are college classmates. My family is very poor, and he has a good background. My father is a professor and my uncle is a businessman. In our era, it was called 10,000 yuan. At that time, the RMB did not depreciate so much. The salary was only a few dozen yuan a month. In order to make up my college tuition, my family borrowed everything. I will never forget the villagers' money. My mother held my head down for the tuition of more than a hundred yuan and knelt down from door to door. At that time, I swore that I must be a superior in my life.

Unconsciously, the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat talked with Chu Yun about the past and the old story, and the expression on his face seemed to have softened a little.

"In college, I met Yanfeng. Because my family is poor, I always have a sense of inferiority towards others, and I have always been immersed in reading. I hope that one day I can get ahead by reading, so I don't get along well. Originally, Yanfeng and I, that is, Ruoxi's father, didn't have any intersection, but he once forgot. After doing the class questions arranged by the professor, I helped him casually at that time, but I was strangely entangled by him. Yan Feng was a strange person. He had amazing action and thinking circuits, and walked into my life like this.

Chu Yun didn't interrupt him, but just listened quietly.

After all, he knows too little about the Lin family, and Lin Ruoxi never takes the initiative to talk about her and her father.

The middle-aged man named Jiang Huainan took a sip of his cigar and looked into the memory.

For a long time, he came to his senses and flicked the soot.

"You know, I was really a very inferior person at that time. I felt that the bee was close to me and helped me, but his show-off mentality was making a fault. His family was rich and he could help me. It felt like a beggar. Although I was poor, I was a person with a strong self-esteem, and I refused to accept it. ,

"But something happened later, which made me completely change my opinion about Yanfeng. It was in my sophomore year. My mother got sick and the disease can now be cured, but the medical level was not good at that time. What's more, our family was originally a lot of debt. No one was willing to lend us any more money, and my mother could never do heavy work from now on. I can only lie on my sick ** to cultivate myself. The burden of life suddenly fell from my mother's shoulder to me. For my mother's medicine, my brother's living expenses, and at the same time, in order to pay off debts, I had to drop out of school to work.

"If my life trajectory follows fate like this, then I will become the most ordinary one of them now." Jiang Huainan looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window and said, "But I'm really unwilling. Just when I was facing the most painful and desperate, Lin Yanfeng came to me. He said that he could ask his family to let me go back to school. Of course, I couldn't agree. Later, he said that he would also drop out of school to wander with me. You can In imagining my reaction at that time, I felt that he was there to make me happy, so he casually said yes, but when he really put the drop-out book in front of me, I admitted that I couldn't say anything.

"After Lin Yanfeng's father, a professor, knew that his son took the initiative to drop out of school without discussing with him, he was so angry that he kicked Yan Feng out of the house that night and threatened to break off the father-son relationship with him, but he smiled as if nothing had happened. For the next few years, we had been wandering outside and finally realized When it comes to the hardships of the situation, I have tried my best every day just to live.

"But in those days, life was always full of opportunities. Every day, people became rich because of today's policy and tomorrow's reform. It's not my boast. I still have some vision for these things. At that time, I expected that the electronic technology industry would take off. Of course, my electronic technology is a little different from the computers you are talking about now. What I have to say is the IT industry.

"However, no one agreed at that time, because a home PC cost 20,000 yuan. At that time, the salary was no longer more than ten yuan, and the average working class also had four or five hundred yuan a month. But who would use this hard-earned money to buy this kind of impractical luxury, just like a car was available a long time ago, but who would have imagined that it would be like today? The sky is the same, everywhere, becoming a necessity of life, but this time, Yanfeng stood up again and stood on my side.

"I didn't have money at that time, and he didn't have any money. It's hard to beat a hero. My salary had to be sent back to my hometown. If it hadn't been for Yan Feng's usual help, I wouldn't be able to make it at all. Naturally, such two people didn't have any savings, but business requires capital. At that time, the country was restructuring, and the factory was allocated and reorganized. The bank encourages individuals to operate and provide small loans, but with the two of us, there is still a big gap in funds, and then Yan Feng told me, why don't you let him beg his father?

"I didn't sleep all night. The next day, I watched Yanfeng limping back. I knew at a glance that he had been beaten, but he still smiled and stuffed more than 20,000 yuan into my hand as if nothing had happened. At that time, I made the second oath in my life that I would succeed." Jiang Huainan came out of his memory. He threw away the cigar with only cigarette butts and sorted out his suit: "As you can see, I succeeded, but in fact there is a saying that is very true. Don't open a company with your best friend."

Chu Yun looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

After this question, Chu Yun felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to ask about other people's private affairs, but soon it didn't matter to Chu Yun. Doesn't Jiang Huainan also investigate himself?

"Divergence." Jiang Huainan paused, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and continued, "According to my original idea, he and I will one day build a well-funded business empire. Of course, this dream is a little young and frivolous now, but I have always taken this idea as the driving force, but Yan Feng is just On the contrary, even if he flattered, he was not an excellent businessman. He did not have the kind of market of a businessman, nor did he have the shrewdness and decisiveness of a businessman. He could not see others suffer losses and liked some strange things. When he had money at that time, he would spend it in some inexplicable places.

Chu Yun sweated for a moment. What Jiang Huainan refers to here should refer to Lin Ruoxi's father's financing of China's e-sports business.

But according to Jiang Huainan's concept: "Of course, I think those are all playthings and lose their ambition. If they have money, they should be invested in greater capital operation. However, Yan Feng's focus is too low, or he is not here at all. He will do business. It's all because of me. At that time, we finally went public. There were irreconcable differences. Of course, I guess I was the only one who thought this was a difference, because Yan Feng naturally handed over the decision-making power of the company's operation to me. He only retained part of the financed shares, and at the same time occupied such a nominal company in Qiu Nan. For this reason, I sent the Three vows, I must prove that he is wrong and let him feel regretful when he sees my success in the coming.

"But in the end, only the first two of my vows were fulfilled. On the day my company was successfully listed, the news of Yan Feng's death came from China." Jiang Huainan's face was a little gloomy, and then he looked up at Chu Yun: "It can be said that I, Jiang Huainan, have today, all thanks to Ruoxi's father. I have been married to my wife for 20 years and have no children under my knees. I don't think I will have it in the future. I have always treated Ruoxi as a daughter. In the future, my property has a It's half hers."

Chu Yun looked at the five-million check and laughed, "So do you think a girl shouldn't make friends with people like me so that I can stay away from her?"

"No, whether she likes you or not, I will never interfere with her personal feelings and circle of friends."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yun didn't understand. Jiang Huainan dragged himself to tell such a long story and gave him a check of 5 million yuan. Is it really a contact?

Jiang Huainan looked at Chu Yun: "You know, I am not a person who can express emotions, and the role of my kind father is really not suitable for me, so my relationship with Ruoxi also rests on the obligations of the guardian and the ward, but as a person who cares about her, she is 18 years old. I I think proper entertainment is not impossible, but it's really a headache if it's the main business... Let's get straight to the point, Chu Yun, I find that Ruoxi has a good impression on you and listens to you. Judging from your historical performance, you are indeed a trustworthy person, so I hope you can persuade her.

"Is it enough to persuade 5 million yuan? Then it's really easy to get this money." Chu Yun said with a smile,

But Jiang Huainan didn't smile: "5 million is just an early deposit. As long as you can persuade Ruoxi to take on the responsibility of my successor, you are willing to accept my arrangement to go to Harvard University for further study. After it is done, I will give you another 10 million."

This time, it's Chu Yun's turn to laugh,
