Investment Life

It has snowed intermittently for half a month, and the ground is full of icicles made of frozen snow, which creaks when walking.Before it was dark, the streets were deserted, the shops were closed early, and there were occasional firecrackers in the alleys, probably because the impatient children were secretly setting off firecrackers stored for the New Year.

Carrying two bags of New Year gifts, Chen Yuanming did not bring bodyguards, nor did he drive those eye-catching private cars, but chose to take the bus alone.The place where he lives is not too far from Sun Lang's house, but the bus was not on the way, and it took more than 40 minutes to get to the destination after two trips.It’s been a long time since I “wasted” time like this. It’s so cold in the snowy sky. Even wearing a down jacket and a scarf, the knife-like cold wind makes the tip of the nose and the base of the ears turn red. But compared to the cold and exhaustion, more It is a sense of relaxation while taking a break from a busy schedule.If it is not because of being too busy, who is willing to rush?

Just standing in front of the door regularly, a trace of uneasiness still floated in my heart.Today is the New Year's Eve, no matter how sincere the other party's invitation is, I am still an outsider after all, it is inevitable to be awkward on occasions like reunion dinners, and family values ​​are much stronger these days than later generations, is it appropriate to come and interrupt?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yuanming finally raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.The monotonous bell rang for only a few seconds, the door was opened with a bang, and a figure in a flowered apron rushed forward.

"You boy! You still know how to come back!"

The heat wave came along with that figure, and the warmth in the room instantly melted the coldness on his body. Chen Yuanming could no longer suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, turned his head away from the hairy hand, and rushed towards the woman who came up with a smile. Say hello.

"Aunt Liu, happy new year."

"Yuanming, you are serious. What are you bringing? I can't finish the food at home!" Angrily took the two heavy bags, Liu Yun glared at her son who was hugging the guest, "The fish is still on the pot, Be careful!"

"Hey." With a smirk, Sun Lang patted Chen Yuanming's shoulder vigorously, "Look, Doudou, my brother has learned a few big dishes recently, which will definitely give you a real treat. Sit down first, and you can start eating right away." !"

After finishing speaking, he rushed into the kitchen again without looking back, and started cooking his own New Year's Eve dishes.

"This kid doesn't know where he learned the recipes, so he will mess around, Yuanming, don't be surprised..." Although he complained endlessly, the pride shining in his eyes couldn't be hidden from anyone. Liu Yun let Chen Yuanming in with a smile. into the house.

Before he could sit still, another figure walked out from the kitchen, and before the person arrived, the voice came over first. "Oh, it's really Doudou. She has grown so big, I dare not admit it!"

"Sister Qing." Chen Yuanming stood up again, and greeted the people with a smile, "You are getting more and more beautiful, and you are almost unrecognizable."

"You're the only one with a sweet mouth!" Those eyebrows and eyes that were only three points similar to Liu Yun narrowed their eyes happily, and Sun Qing briskly placed the teacup in her hand in front of Chen Yuanming. "Don't stand there stupidly, sit down quickly! Let my sister take a good look."

The person in front of him is Liu Yun's eldest daughter, Sun Lang's eldest sister, Sun Qing.I haven't seen her for a few years. The original rustic girl with a fluffy ponytail and only wearing work clothes all the year round has completely changed her appearance. The original rough and knotted hair has been shaved into a pretty short hair, and her thick eyebrows are carefully trimmed. However, coupled with a pair of bright big eyes, he actually showed a bit of sassy and heroic spirit.

Because her appearance is more like her father's, there is a gap between her mother and younger brother's down-to-earth good looks. In the past few years, Sun Qing was very low-key. Apart from her more outgoing personality, her dress was not in style at all.But looking at it now, even this set of home clothes on her is simple and elegant, outlining the body curves just right, coupled with a suitable hairstyle and light makeup, the whole person becomes beautiful and eye-catching.Looking carefully at the slightly fashionable new woman in front of him, Chen Yuanming's heart slowly sank, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more distinct.

Sun Qing was not so complacent, serving the tea, placing the melon seeds, and cutting the fruits, without stopping for a moment, while chatting with Chen Yuanming, asking how he was doing recently.When Jiang Tao's incident happened before, Chen Yuanming just lied to Liu Yun and the others lightly, saying that he was going to other places to handle some official business.Unexpectedly, it took two months to go, which was enough to make people worry.

Now being questioned like this, knowing that the other party is caring about him, Chen Yuanming can only smile bitterly in his heart.With his current status and the business he handles, he is no longer something such a small family should be exposed to.The threat this time really made him hang up. You must know that it is the mid-90s. Not to mention the two attempted kidnappings he experienced, the famous Li family kidnapping happened two years later. The era when households gather has always been a period of high incidence of criminal cases.Instead of being implicated by himself, he hopes that this family can live their little life in peace.

It's just that although the idea is good, when it comes to chatting, there is obviously a hint of cover-up. There are too many things to say directly, and I don't want to fake, so it becomes a smooth Tai Chi.Faced with Chen Yuanming's gentle and elegant circle pattern, Sun Qing couldn't help but glance at her mother, and sighed quietly in her heart.

When Chen Yuanming looked at Sun Qing, Sun Qing was looking at the young man in front of him.After walking out of that small third-tier city, Sun Qing did not indulge in the depression or self-pity of a single-parent family, but quickly supported the family with her mother.When her mother went south to buy goods, she would watch the store at home. When her mother opened a new store, she called for people to come and support the stall.Compared with her mother's delicate management method, Sun Qing's skills in dealing with people may be a little rough, but her courage is not lost to anyone.

In the year she opened the store in Shandong, she had already contacted a small garment factory and started to produce some self-made brands. Later, when she came to Beijing, she was dazzled by all kinds of colorful brands and stores, and she immediately discovered her own The aesthetic foundation is not enough, so I simply choose to study further to supplement and improve my knowledge system.It's just that the deeper she studies, the more she feels that what she wants to be is not a second-rate dealer, nor an agent seller who simply sits on the ground and raises prices, but is like a well-known first-line brand, owning her own industry and earning money from the brand she creates. Take more profit.

With the foundation, ambition, and corresponding financial strength, even the design team has taken shape. Sun Qing is really planning to make a big move after the completion of this training class. This time coincides with the reunion with Chen Yuanming. Can not let her surprise.She had also read that letter. A 15-year-old boy with such business acumen who dared to go south to work alone, isn't he the best partner?After chatting for a while, Sun Qing realized that what her mother said was true, the boy next door had completely changed.

Yes, Sun Qing's changes are not insignificant, but no matter how big the change is, it cannot be compared with what happened to Chen Yuanming.In four years, he has grown a full 20 centimeters, from a small black and weak bean sprout to a handsome and tall young man.And what has changed dramatically like his height is the temperament exuded from him.

Although he is only as big as his younger brother at present, if he doesn't say it clearly, no one will find this out.What was shown on his face was not something a teenager could imitate.The conversation was orderly, the black eyes were quiet and sharp, and there was a touch of tact in every gesture that was used to in the business circle.Even what he wears on his body and on his hands are quite different from those of ordinary people. Although the brand can't be seen, they all fit well, as if they were tailor-made, which perfectly complemented his temperament.

Such a person, no matter how friendly the smile on his face, even a person who is used to sales knows that he is either rich or expensive at a glance.But what is Chen Yuanming's background?As a neighbor who grew up together, Sun Qing knew it all too well.If such a strange temperament did not come from his growth experience, then his changes in the past few years can only be described as "turned upside down".Can he really still see his confident business now?

No wonder when I mentioned it to my mother before, she was a little noncommittal... My heart was full of thoughts, but I didn't say it directly. The three of them just talked and laughed watching TV, chatting about homework, very relaxed and comfortable.After being filled with tea and stuffed with a lot of melon seeds and candies, just as Chen Yuanming tried his best to refuse those delicious pastries, Sun Lang who was nestled in the kitchen finally sent an order to serve dinner.

At this time, the New Year’s Eve dinner usually starts after 7 o’clock, and everyone is almost full of wine and food. At 8 o’clock, the whole family will sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala happily, and Liu Yun’s house is no exception.Just after 7:6, the dishes were delivered to the table like water, 6 cold and [-] hot dishes, a total of twelve dishes, without considering the appetite of several people at all.And it’s really the same as what Sun Lang said, some authentic “big dishes” are added in it, such as sweet and sour Yellow River carp, sea cucumber with scallion, nine-turn large intestine, Dezhou grilled chicken...all decent, quite big Kitchen style.

The table was full of steaming dishes, and the glasses were filled with good wine. Sun Lang also took off that funny floral apron, and walked towards the door with Chen Yuanming.At this time, the sound on the TV could no longer be heard clearly, and the whole world was filled with crackling firecrackers.As soon as the whip is hung before the New Year's Eve dinner, as many firecrackers are fired, that is how many families are preparing to start a sumptuous dinner.Carrying the two hangs and [-] heads prepared by himself, and three or five second kicks, Sun Lang took Chen Yuanming downstairs, and half of them started to toss about.

At this time, the sound of a wave of firecrackers has just settled down, and the next wave has not yet begun. These "heavy weapons" have shown their mighty power. Ten thousand long firecrackers crackled non-stop, and the second kicker exploded with a loud bang. The ground trembled a little, and there was a cheer coming from an unknown window, and several fire points went straight into the sky with whistling whistles, bursting out a colorful firework.

"Who played the magic bomb, how can it be enjoyable if you don't have two flash bombs." Sun Lang raised his face high, with a big smile at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be shining brightly against the backdrop of the fireworks.

With his hands covering his ears hanging down, Chen Yuanming looked at the other party quietly for a moment, then reached out and took out something from the inner pocket of the down jacket, and stuffed it to Sun Lang.

"Huh? What did you say?" At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang again, and Sun Lang didn't hear what Chen Yuanming said at all, and he couldn't see clearly what was handed over, so he just took it intuitively.

"Game! The one you love the most!"

Raising his voice, Chen Yuanming almost yelled, but the sound of firecrackers was still so loud that it overwhelmed most of the voice. It took a lot of effort for the big boy on the opposite side to hear clearly.

"Did you copy it to a floppy disk?" He posted it so close that his hot breath almost hit his ear, "It's from Blizzard, right? Tell me it's Warcraft One!"

The hair was crumpled by the opponent, and Chen Yuanming's hand shook slightly, but finally missed the waist and rested on the opponent's shoulder. "It's really not the first, the new second generation."

"There is actually a second generation! How did you get it!"

The voice is full of joy, ecstatic for a little game.Chen Yuanming didn't realize how bright his smile was, but he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the short hair of the other party, "Don't be too ostentatious, be careful that auntie will confiscate this thing later..."

"Hey, it's winter vacation now! Let's play together later, you haven't touched my new computer yet!"

Faced with such a warm invitation, Chen Yuanming's voice paused.

"Okay."
