Investment Life

"What?" Sun Lang was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then added a little anxiously, "Don't worry, I don't think the old lady will be too busy at first, you can..."

"No." Chen Yuanming cut off the other party's words, showing a wry smile, "Second brother, you don't understand what I mean. Now the things I have on hand are complicated enough, it is impossible to spare time to start a company with Sister Qing... ..."

This was too straightforward, Sun Lang blinked his eyes twice, but didn't react for a moment, and after a while, he stammered a little, "No... Although I really don't understand business, but My sister's project is very good, I think she can make a lot of money..."

The wry smile on his lips deepened, and Chen Yuanming sighed, "Yes, it is a good business. If there is a strong enough team, it is likely to develop into a good company that is one of the best in China. Now China's high-end clothing category is still blank. , it would be a good place to start. But however promising it may be, it's too small for me to be worth spending too much time on."

Sun Lang fell silent, his hands slipped from Chen Yuanming's shoulders, he took a step back silently, and sat in the chair in front of the computer desk. "You mean, this kind of company that may become one of the best in the country in the future is not worth your time? Your current..."

He didn't finish speaking, but the entanglement and confusion in his voice could be clearly seen.The heat on his shoulders was slowly fading. Chen Yuanming clenched his fists and replied unhurriedly, "In the past few years, I have actually done a lot of things, not just driving a big car and transporting goods. Now The stall under his hand is already too huge, and it is impossible to throw it away easily."

"But aren't you still in school? If you're so busy, how can you have time for training courses..."

"That's because I was able to spare some time before, but not necessarily in the future. Even this course, I have been absent for two full months. I guess the next year's course will not be able to continue." After a pause, Chen Yuanming finally made up his mind Once he had made up his mind, how could he continue to hide the matter now.

"Zhongguancun recently opened a venture capital company called Touchstone. Have you heard of it? Someone from BIT has also delivered a proposal in the past. It seems to be a school in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I opened that company. Except Besides it, there are a lot of businesses that I need to take care of myself, so I just told Sister Qing and Auntie frankly that it is fine to invest in their business, but the real operation can only be done by myself..."

Sun Lang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end.He had indeed heard about the Philosopher's Stone, which has been very popular in the academy system recently. It is said that it is some kind of American investment company that specially distributes money to capable scientific researchers.From the mouth of the senior, Peking University pried away 500 million US dollars from there. 500 million dollars.

If the person in front of him hadn't lied to him, what kind of wealth would he have?What kind of mentality do you have to read books, surf the Internet, play football and play with yourself?Will he not have his own private car and his own residence?He still has to squeeze the bus with him and sleep on the bunk...why is he...

His lips trembled twice, and Sun Lang suddenly said, "The first time I saw you, that car, and that man driving..."

"It's my bodyguard."

"You asked for leave last month to..."

"Go to the United States and talk about some very important business."

"Then this..." Sun Lang suddenly picked up those floppy disks from the table, and the exquisite Blizzard LOGO was pinched by his nails, almost wrinkled, "Don't say that this is also related to you."

Chen Yuanming was silent for a moment, "Yes, it is indeed related to me. Blizzard is also a project invested by Golden Stone, and I currently own 37% of its shares."

"You..." Sun Lang took a deep breath, wanting to drop the stack of floppy disks, or to suppress the surging anger, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell the truth!"

Because I can't stand your expression now...

Because I always knew it would change something I wanted so badly...

because……

Chen Yuanming exhaled softly, "Sorry."

The two words are very light and extremely crisp, like a sharp blade cutting a rope that was tied together.Sun Lang's eye circles turned red, and he threw away the stack of floppy disks with a wave of his hand. The turbulent emotions made him tremble slightly, and that lovely carefree smile seemed to be erased by something forcefully. It sounds weird and cold.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Sun Qing walked in from the outside with a smile, "The dumplings are almost ready, mom told you to eat..." After speaking halfway, she sensitively noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and she frowned slightly. Frowning, he looked at his younger brother.

"I don't want to eat!" Sun Lang sniffed hard, "Whoever likes to eat, eat it!"

"You child!" Sun Qing stared back, "Why are you so awkward..."

"Sister Qing is all my fault..." Chen Yuanming stood up from the bed, "I told my second brother..."

"Chen Yuanming! Who is your second brother! Did you ever treat me as a brother?!"

"Ermao! How are you talking!" Sun Qing's voice could almost be called angrily, and seeing the expression on Chen Yuanming's face, she bit her teeth lightly to suppress her anger, "Yuanming, I'm really sorry , you go eat dumplings first, I will teach this bastard a lesson..."

"Miss Qing..."

"Don't..." There was a wry smile on the corner of Sun Qing's mouth, "Your expression is quite uncomfortable. How can you be so troublesome when it's Chinese New Year. Let's go eat something first..."

Chen Yuanming glanced at the big boy who was still sitting in front of the computer desk. Even if it was just a side profile, he could see that handsome face was slightly distorted, his head was lowered very low, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.His footsteps paused, and finally he stepped out of the door and walked towards the living room.

Still in the bright living room, Liu Yun was carrying a plate of dumplings to the dining table, and when she saw Chen Yuanming, she smiled, "Yuanming, come and eat dumplings, there are two kinds of mutton stuffing and leek stuffing, both of which are made by us. Yes, what about the two of them? The dumplings will stick together if you rub on..."

Looking at the busy figure, Chen Yuanming only felt his throat was choked and uncomfortable, he clenched and loosened his fists, and finally said in a low voice, "Sorry, Aunt Liu, I didn't tell the truth before... just now I told the second ...Told Sun Lang that he..."

The words were broken, and even he himself didn't know what he wanted to say.Liu Yun stopped in surprise, looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that the indifference he had put on his face all year round was torn to pieces, just like a real child, he looked dazed and a little embarrassed, even his lips were slightly twitching. bluish white.After thinking about what he said just now, Liu Yun put down the plate in his hand and walked over to him.

"What did you tell Ermao?"

The voice was very soft, as if comforting some frightened animal, Chen Yuanming felt his heart twitch, and his lips trembled, "I lied to him before, and there are some big and small things about my current wealth..."

Liu Yun hummed softly, "Then what you told Qingqing today should be true?"

"Yes, there is no half-sentence lie."

"Oh, you child..." Liu Yun sighed, stretched out her hand and patted Chen Yuanming's shoulder lightly, "Actually, I was a little surprised when I heard you say this, but how can this be considered a lie..."

There was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, but Liu Yun's eyes became more gentle, "It's just that in this society, there are too many people who can share adversity, but too few people who can share wealth. Don't talk about your current wealth, even my aunt and I don't care about it." Dare to easily betray your old background with distant relatives in your hometown? You did the right thing, but you were a little more cautious. I have seen with my own eyes the situation when you played with Ermao in the past two months, so it cannot be faked. And Today, you could have continued to hide the past, but you still have to help us with your own hands. Auntie will never forget this kind of love..."

"It's just..." Her voice paused, revealing a little pain, "It's just that the matter between me and Ermao's father has affected him too much. His father used to be so good to him, and almost loved him. God, but he got mixed up with a little, cheap, bastard, and gave birth to a bastard. At that time, the man said in front of him that he didn't care about me or their siblings. He was so angry that he beat that man After a fight, his face was swollen and he couldn’t speak for several days. Later, when I left that house, he always put on a smiling face and tried to make me and his sister happy.”

Liu Yun's voice choked up slightly, "But I'm his own mother, how can I not understand the pain in his heart, I have been holding back my breath, until I see you again. The child is really happy. I am very happy to be able to play with you again, and to regain the satisfaction of being an older brother. I am also happy to see you two so happy. This kind of thing, You can't do it. Tell him suddenly about such a big thing now, he will definitely get into the horns, and he will be afraid of being cheated again, and losing the good times he had in the past. He is a bit straightforward, but he is not stupid. Who You can tell who is good and who is bad, but... just give him a little time, he will always understand..."

He speaks slowly, and every sentence is full of meaning.Chen Yuanming only felt a surge of enthusiasm in his eyes, and had to hold his breath, trying to suppress that emotion.After a long time, he said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Liu, I...I understand."

"You..." Liu Yun endured for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand, and gently touched Chen Yuanming's forehead hair, "Don't think about it. No one knows better than Auntie how hard it is to make money. It's up to you. Ermao will always think clearly, so don't worry too much about it. When the upper and lower teeth are still fighting, let alone two brothers. Okay, let's have a meal first..."

He was led to the table by that gentle hand, and a plate of enthusiastic dumplings was placed in front of him. There was also some chili oil in the vinegar dish, neither salty nor bland, which was his favorite taste.Chen Yuanming silently picked up the chopsticks, picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, the heat was blowing on his face layer by layer, making his cheeks a little wet.

On the side, Liu Yun sighed softly, brought two dumplings to Sun Lang's room.Eleven o'clock was coming to an end soon, and the TV was switched to non-listening programs such as singing, dancing and folk art, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window sounded again, and it tended to intensify.At this time, a crisp ringtone rang suddenly, almost subconsciously, Chen Yuanming connected the phone.

"Happy New Year!" A voice came from the phone, refreshing and bright, with a hint of a clean smile.

"Xiao..." Chen Yuanming paused, "Jun Yi."

"Hey, why are you not at home, and no one answered the phone at home, and now you are outside?"

"Yes, to a friend's house to pay New Year's greetings."

"You're busy enough, you'll start visiting on New Year's Eve." The smile in the voice deepened, "If I knew you wouldn't go home, I would have asked someone to bring you back. There are enough people in the family this year. , Chinese New Year, it’s good to get together in a lively manner.”

"On New Year's Eve, it's inappropriate to interrupt." Chen Yuanming's mouth twitched slightly, forcing out a smile. "I will definitely visit you in two days."

"Okay, don't pretend that I don't know your itinerary. You will come back after fifteen, right? It doesn't matter, just do your work, there will always be a chance in the future."

The voice on the phone cut off for a moment, as if dealing with someone, and after a few seconds, the voice came back again, "My uncle also asked me to bring you a greeting, and he said that you must come to visit for New Year's greetings and other nonsense, you Just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

"Where is it? It should be righteous..."

This time the voice on the phone was cut off for a few seconds, and suddenly a voice came, "Listen, the bell is ringing."

In the microphone and on the TV, the bells seemed to be ringing together, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window suddenly became intense, drowning out all the noise in an instant. Standing in the living room, it seemed that there was only the mobile phone next to the ear, accompanied by the soft breathing sound. together.Amidst the noise, there was a strange tranquility.

When the sound of firecrackers slowly stopped again, a chuckle came from the opposite side, "How about it, now I'm the first person to talk to you this year?"

Chen Yuanming froze for a moment, and finally showed a smile, "Yes, you are definitely the first. Happy New Year."

The smile on the other side was a little stronger, and even brought out a little pride, "You know, this year is my birth year, and we are also 24 years old."

"It's a pig?" Chen Yuanming slightly raised his eyebrows, he really didn't notice this. "Good sign."

"That is, the golden pig is the most blessed." The other party was not affected at all, but teased back, "I will hit you hard for my birthday, so be prepared."

"Don't worry, red underwear is always indispensable."

Almost at the same time, both of them laughed.The voice on the other side seemed to soften a bit, and the arrogance and self-satisfaction accumulated over the years were covered up, "Okay, don't disturb your rest, let's talk about it in detail when you come back from the United States. It’s not that durable, you still have to take care of your body and don’t get tired.”

As if he had never heard him say such a thing, Chen Yuanming was slightly stunned for a moment, and finally thanked him briefly, chatted for a while, and the other party hung up the phone.He lowered his head and looked at the PHS in his hand for a moment, then finally shook his head and put it away.

------

Putting down the phone, Xiao Junyi raised his head, saw his uncle's playful eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Why, haven't you seen anyone calling?"

Xiao Yun sneered, "Is that your phone? There are a lot of landlines at home that are not used, and you have to hide in the corner and call PHS. I don't know which girlfriend you thought you were calling."

"Uncle, you can't talk nonsense. Where did you come from?" Xiao Junyi didn't like this at all, and simply pushed back.

"Oh, brat, you said you were fat and you were still panting. Believe it or not, I told your mother this and asked her to find you a few jobs quickly?" After glaring at his nephew, Xiao Yun walked back to the living room swaggeringly, and put People are left behind.

Standing in the corridor, Xiao Junyi looked down at the PHS in his hand, and finally couldn't help but curled up the corners of his lips.He first called Chen Yuanming's home phone, then switched to a cell phone, and finally got a PHS, who knew he really brought the phone with him.Is this...waiting for my call?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Junyi felt itchy in his heart. In fact, after realizing that something was wrong with him, he was really helpless for a while.You must know that his relationship history cannot be said to be blank, but Xiao Sanshao really has never chased anyone, not to mention men, even women are automatically sent to the door, so how can he pick up girls.

Now he took a corner out of nowhere, felt anxious and struggled, and in the end he really looked away, since the other party was worth it, he should reach out and give it a try.In fact, in Beijing's dandy circle, there are not no people who play with the rabbit master, but this group of people has such a bad reputation that they are not in his circle at all.There is no experience to learn from, so I have to try a little bit, and I have to hold back to make myself more normal, don't scare people away, I don't even have to be friends.

Now he really feels that he did the right thing. When he called today, how could he not hear that the other party was slightly depressed? No matter how smart and capable, he is only in his teens, so far away from home, but he still has a home Can't return to which kind, this big one, can you not feel uncomfortable?He didn't hesitate to throw out his own zodiac, and finally Bo Jun smiled, it was worth it!

The peach blossom eyes with a smile are slightly raised, since we are going to fight a protracted battle, then come on, don't look at what kind of family history our Young Master Xiao is.Not caring about hacking his family's "family biography" completely, Xiao Junyi weighed the PHS in his hand, and walked into the room humming a little tune.

------

When the sound of firecrackers completely fell silent, Chen Yuanming saw Liu Yun coming out of the bedroom, he stood up, and said before the other party could speak, "Aunt Liu, it's so late, I should go home... "

Liu Yun frowned slightly, "In the middle of the night, the cars are all parked, how do I get there..."

"It's okay. I have a dedicated driver. I called someone just now. The house I bought at the Asian Games Village will be there in a few minutes." There is no need to hide anything more at this time, Chen Yuanming replied quickly.

Looking at the other party hesitantly, Liu Yun found that it was really difficult for her to find any excuses. It would be unpleasant enough to keep someone at this time, so she finally sighed softly, "I'm really sorry that this incident has caused trouble today. Later, I will definitely ask Ermao to apologize to you, you..."

"Auntie, it's really okay." The corners of his mouth stopped at that perfect arc, Chen Yuanming smiled lightly and shook his head, "I have other things to do these days, so I might not be in China. When I come back, Sister Qing has arranged the plan , just call me again.”

A business card was handed to Liu Yun, with a simple name and a mobile phone number printed on it.Liu Yun hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "All right, I'll take you downstairs..."

"No, I really don't need it, it's very cold." Chen Yuanming quickly took his down jacket and scarf, and opened the door, "It's a few steps away, don't bother. Goodbye, aunt, oh, yes Yes, happy new year."

Going so hastily, it's almost like running away.Liu Yun looked helplessly at the background of the young man passing through the corridor and disappearing at the corner of the stairs.

In winter in Beijing, there are almost two worlds inside and outside the door.Wrapping tightly the down jacket on his body, Chen Yuanming let out a breath of white air. When he walked downstairs, his fingers were already numb from the cold. He quickly called the driver Xiao Song and walked towards the gate of the community.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers has been sparse, the night is thick, and the street lamps are flickering. Even if you walk in the community, it seems like you are walking in a deserted alley.What awaited him was nothing more than an even more empty apartment.Before he knew it, Chen Yuanming slowed down. It seemed that the piercing cold wind was no longer so scary. The driver might not arrive in more than ten minutes. Why was he panicking...

Under a street lamp at the gate of the community, he stopped, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.At this time, the sky in Beijing was still clear. Even though the firecrackers had been set off all night, the sky was still so bright that even the Milky Way could be seen clearly.His breath was all white smoke, and between him and the sea of ​​stars, the darkness was so thick that it seemed to want to envelop him completely.

He actually understands that when he gains some things, he must also lose other things. It's just that he is too greedy and can't help but want to get more.What happened to him can almost be called a legend, but if you get it, you must pay a price. Maybe he should give up those wishful thinking and use the energy of this life in more beneficial places instead of entangled with these...children's love long……

After standing for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuanming regained his composure, slowly lowered his head, and continued to walk. He had to wait at the gate of the community for a car to pick him up... At this moment, a loud shout came from behind.

"Chen Yuanming!"

The sound was so loud that it could almost wake up the dream of a building. Chen Yuanming's footsteps froze, and he stopped involuntarily.The footsteps behind him became more rapid, accompanied by wheezing and wheezing, until a hug bumped into him violently.

"You bastard! What do you think of me? Do you think my brother hates the poor and loves the rich so much... No, is he so stalking?! You can tell me, you should tell me directly!"

Chen Yuanming's body froze completely, and a hot breath sprayed into the crest of his neck, swaying his emotions so unscrupulously.

"The next time this kind of thing happens again, I will definitely beat you up! You boy... can't you just go back? Aren't you tired of thinking so much? I'm tired for you! You..." Loud sniffling voice, "Don't take me for a fool! I'm not as smart as you, but don't take me for a fool..."

There was anger, pleading, and remorse in the voice.Chen Yuanming closed his eyes, sighed softly, and turned around.

The young man behind him was not wearing a down jacket, and was trembling slightly, his eyes were red from crying, but they were still shining brightly, without any impurities.After hesitating for a while, Chen Yuanming untied his scarf and hung it around the opponent's neck. Before he could withdraw his hand, Sun Lang came up and hugged him tightly.

"Don't forget who I am! You ran after my brother when you were still snotty, now you're arrogant and don't care? Do you still know who I am?"

"I know." Chen Yuanming replied softly, "I know. You are the second brother, and you will always be."

It won't, it shouldn't be anything else...

Patting the other party's shoulder lightly, Chen Yuanming broke free from that embrace. "My car will be here soon, you go home first, it's cold, be careful of catching a cold."

"It's up to you, I just waited a few minutes for the car and... sneezes!" A loud sneeze interrupted Sun Lang, and he wiped the suspicious object sprayed from his nose in embarrassment.

Chen Yuanming grinned, "Don't be so fucking brave, didn't you hear the sound of the engine, the car is waiting outside the door, do you still want to stand here and chat with me?"

"Ah Choo! Do you... really want to leave for a while?" Sun Lang asked a little unwillingly. "I heard my mother say..."

"Yeah, I'm very busy at work." Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, Chen Yuanming reached out and handed it to the other party, "But I will come back when I have time. I also want to review Sister Qing's plan."

Reluctantly took the handkerchief, Sun Lang thought for a while, "Then when you come back, will you still have time? We can play computer games together, or let me introduce you to some capable people in the department, I know a lot of……"

"Of course, of course." Chen Yuanming smiled, "I promised you to cut monsters together."

A complex smile floated on Sun Lang's cheeks, but he did not hesitate, but nodded seriously, "Just remember!"

Still so straightforward, still so straightforward.Chen Yuanming smiled, and reached out to touch the other party's forehead covered with cold sweat. "Hurry up and go home, I should go too. You have to study hard, make progress every day, and don't disappoint your auntie's expectations."

"I'm a straight-A student from BIT! If you want to leave, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Yuanming smiled, patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the gate of the community.Sure enough, the Grand Cherokee had already parked at the gate of the community, and Xiao Song had already opened the car door for him.After getting in the car, Chen Yuanming turned his head and looked into the community, only to see a shadowy figure under the street lamp, standing there so stubbornly, refusing to leave.

A greeting came from the front seat, "Boss, where are you going?"

Chen Yuanming withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the sofa chair, and lowered his eyes. "Go home. Time to go."

On the empty road, the car blew out a faint trail of exhaust fumes and drove away.
