The rebirth of a dummy

When the dust settled and both Gu Mingyi and Xie Hanchi took their leave, Xi Borong realized belatedly that he seemed to have fallen into the rhythm of Gu Mingyi's conversation from the very beginning.Although the final result he achieved was also the result he wanted, but thinking that Gu Mingyi was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, Xi Borong couldn't help but have some formidable thoughts.

At this time, Gu Mingyi went to eat with Xie Hanchi, sat in the booth, Xie Hanchi ordered food, and said: "I remember you said that all the funds in your hand have been spent."

"That's right." Gu Mingyi poked his head to look at what he ordered, and found that they were all his favorite dishes, so he crossed out two and replaced them with Xie Hanchi's favorite dishes.

Xie Hanchi said: "Then where do you get the funds for your cooperation with Xi Borong? If I'm not wrong, your investment should not be paid off yet."

Gu Mingyi said: "Well, I can't get the funds out."

Xie Hanchi said: "If necessary, I can borrow it from you."

After returning the menu to the waiter, Gu Mingyi held his chin and looked at him, thinking that the person I like is good-looking. Hearing this, he smiled: "Okay, let's count your capital as a shareholder."

Unexpectedly, Xie Hanchi said: "No need, just treat it as a loan from you, and pay me back according to the bank loan interest rate."

Gu Mingyi raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to cooperate with me?"

Xie Hanchi smiled slightly: "No, it's just that you are interested in this project, but I am not interested in it."

Gu Mingyi thought for a while: "Okay, but I'm not short of money. I plan to ask Brother Bo Rong to finish the proposal, and then bring it to my mother, so that my mother can contribute the capital."

Xie Hanchi said: "Then is it yours, or is it your aunt's?"

Gu Mingyi said: "Count it as a part of me, this can't be my entire industry, right? When I go to university, I will set up a company alone."

Xie Hanchi said: "Alone?"

Gu Mingyi said: "Or you come with me? It's not impossible."

The usual topics that the two of them talked about have long involved some investments made by each other, operations in the stock market and the futures and options market, etc., but it is the first time that they have talked about cooperation openly and honestly like today.

Hearing Gu Mingyi's words, Xie Hanchi said quickly, as if afraid of his repentance: "Okay."

The waiter just delivered the dishes they ordered, so the two didn't continue this topic.Gu Mingyi pushed Xie Hanchi's favorite dish towards him, Xie Hanchi also pushed Gu Mingyi's favorite dish towards him, the two of them made movements almost at the same time, and looked up at each other at the same time.

Gu Mingyi said with a smile: "Xie Hanchi."

Xie Hanchi said: "Why isn't it called Hanchi?"

Gu Mingyi is as good as others: "Han Chi."

Xie Hanchi said: "Ming Yi."

Just listening to his name being called out from the other party's mouth, it was as if a tingling feeling jumped up from the tailbone, and spread all over the body in an instant, flowing through the limbs and bones.The eyes of the two people looking at each other became deeper, as if they wanted to look into each other's heart.

After a long time, Gu Mingyi turned his eyes away, and snorted: "If I had known earlier, I would not have come to the booth, and I would have found a private room."

Xie Hanchi felt the same way with him: "It's not too late to look for it now."

Gu Mingyi said: "Forget it, let's finish eating quickly and go to study by ourselves in the evening."

Xie Hanchi squinted his eyes: "That's right, the future will be long."

Gu Mingyi was taking a mouthful of rice, and almost spit it out. He wondered whether Xie Hanchi knew the profound and profound mysteries of idioms... But he was inclined that Xie Hanchi just used such a word accidentally.

Seeing that he was choking, Xie Hanchi got up and sat beside him, reaching out to pat his back.Gu Mingyi coughed for a long time before he stopped, and was about to speak when he met Xie Hanchi's eyes.

The upper half of the booth is hollowed out, so it's really not good for confidentiality, but their location is very remote, and there are tall green plants next to it, and the side where Gu Mingyi is sitting is still facing away from the direction the waiter came from. .

In other words, if you really do something, it may not be seen by others.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingyi directly raised his hand to hold Xie Hanchi's neck.

Xie Hanchi almost made the same movement as him at the same time, and immediately after, the faces of the two were very close.

The breaths of each other blended together, with unconscious haste, Gu Mingyi smiled at Xie Hanchi, and held Xie Hanchi down and kissed him without hesitation.

Although neither Gu Mingyi nor Xie Hanchi's wounds had healed completely, but at this moment, no one cared about them.

Both of them had a lot of self-control, knowing that this was not the right place, they only kissed lightly for a while and then let go.

When Xie Hanchi sat back, Gu Mingyi and his breath were still a little unstable.

Gu Mingyi said: "Hurry up and eat, or you won't be able to make it late for self-study."

Xie Hanchi hummed, picked up the chopsticks, and looked up.

Gu Mingyi said: "What's wrong?"

Xie Hanchi said: "It's nothing, I feel as if someone is looking over here."

Gu Mingyi said: "No one should have seen it just now, unless the people in the booth over there just came out after eating." But the probability of this is extremely small.

Xie Hanchi said: "If you are seen..."

Gu Mingyi said: "I won't be seen."

Although he has thought about the possible consequences many times in his heart if his affair with Xie Hanchi is discovered, he just feels that he may have to live up to his mother's expectations of him, but he doesn't feel scared in his heart, and even has some inexplicable periods. Hope—if everyone knows that Xie Hanchi is his man, will no one else like Xie Hanchi anymore?

But Gu Mingyi knew very well that it was better not to be discovered about this matter.

Hearing these words, Xie Hanchi seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After Gu Mingyi received the plan that Xi Borong had prepared and handed in, he took advantage of a weekend and went straight to Chen Yuewei.

After hearing his intentions, Chen Yuewei took the proposal and read it carefully, and said, "Are you very optimistic about this project?"

Gu Mingyi said: "Yes, very optimistic."

Chen Yuewei frowned slightly: "Don't you think his price is a little bit high?"

A cup of ice cream costs more than ten yuan, and a cup of coffee costs more than ten yuan. Of course, it’s not a big deal for a family like theirs. They even feel that such cheapness is not high enough, but for most people, it seems to be a little expensive.

Gu Mingyi said: "Mom, first of all, his formula is really good. I tried it and it tastes very good. Secondly, the positioning of the consumer group is different. If it is for some people who believe that the higher the price, the higher the quality, it is better For people with petty bourgeoisie, even if the price is a little higher, it is completely acceptable. On the contrary, once the price is set low, these potential customer groups will no longer take us seriously.”

"What you said makes sense." Chen Yuewei thought for a moment before saying, "But I still think the pricing is a bit inappropriate. Will the people you mentioned enter such a store and choose to spend in this store?"

Gu Mingyi said: "Mom, it's a new century now, don't look at things with old ideas! What do you think will lead consumers in the future?"

Chen Yuewei said: "No matter what year it is, what dominates consumer consumption is nothing more than quality and price."

Gu Mingyi smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily true."

The memory of his previous life told him that quality and price are of course important, but in addition, service, environment, and even such illusory things as feelings can determine whether a consumer chooses to consume something.Sometimes, even the higher the price, the more followers there will be.

And these, in the 90s, or even at the beginning of the new century, have not been recognized by people.

Seeing his determined look, Chen Yuewei said, "Then tell me? The investment you need is not high, and I can take it out, but if I just take it out like this, it's just because you are my son. I'm more I hope you can make me be willing to invest enough funds, and if the agreement is good, I will have no problem investing more funds."

Gu Mingyi said decisively: "Okay."

Seeing his confident appearance, Chen Yuewei was also slightly shaken, and listened intently to Gu Mingyi's narration.

At the beginning, Chen Yuewei was just in a state of being irrelevant, leaning lazily on the chair, but after listening, she sat up straight with a solemn expression.After listening to Gu Mingyi's narration, Chen Yuewei did not speak for a while, but looked at him with somewhat complicated eyes.

Gu Mingyi looked down at himself: "Mom? What's wrong with me now?"

Chen Yuewei smiled and shook her head: "It's not that you have any problems, but that I have problems. I just realized now, Ming Yi, as your mother, I don't seem to understand you well enough."

Gu Mingyi hurriedly approached her and lowered his body: "Mom, why do you say that?"

Chen Yuewei patted his head, and a trace of pride surged in her heart: "I don't know when my son grew into such a look, so radiant, so good at thinking, so thoughtful, even my mother is easily defeated by you!" Persuaded—but I seem to have only noticed your growth until now."

Gu Mingyi felt sore, thinking of himself who had always done his own way in his previous life, he rubbed his mother's arm, lowered his head and buried his face in Chen Yuewei's hand, trying to force back the tears in his eyes: "Mom, this is not yours. The problem. It's just that in your heart, I'm always your son, just a child."

Chen Yuewei joked with a smile: "You're acting like a baby again, as expected, you're still a child."

Gu Mingyi said: "Mom!"

In this warm and peaceful atmosphere, neither mother nor son spoke.

After a while, there were faint footsteps passing by outside, and Chen Yuewei said: "Ming Yi, I have never thought much about the Gu family, but in fact, you are your father's son, and you have the right to inherit the Gu family. .”

Gu Mingyi raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened: "Mom, why did you say this all of a sudden?"
