Zhong Xiaoqin endured her physical discomfort and helped her best friend to lie down on the sofa.
"I didn't drink much. Huan Shan is with me, so I'll be fine."
Gu Jia was in a bad mood and had the urge to cry.
It took more than a week to get the company's business license and operating permit.
With a capital of 500,000 yuan, Xu Huanshan has also built a small fireworks factory in another location.
Although it has only been half a month since he resigned, more than half of the 500,000 yuan raised by himself and Xu Huanshan has now been consumed.
If we don't develop our business quickly, the fireworks factory that hasn't had a successful start will probably go bankrupt.
These days, Gu Jia has been running around in order to attract customers and promote the products of her own fireworks factory. Both of her legs have become swollen. Her already thin waist is now so slender that it can only be held in a hand.
However, my boyfriend Xu Huanshan felt that he was very talented and the fireworks he produced were of higher quality than ordinary fireworks factories. When negotiating with customers, he used the 'arrogance of an artist' and talked about himself without saying a few words.
The client who was easy to negotiate with was offended.
If I had known that my boyfriend was this kind of person, I would not have taken him with me when discussing business.
Now because Xu Huanshan refused to speak softly and drank with the client, he not only offended the client, but also ruined the contract that was about to be signed.
In order to make amends, Gu Jia drank three glasses of liquor at one go, and then she let the client let go of the stubborn Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan sent Gu Jia to the door of Yipin Mansion. Gu Jia did not let him send him upstairs, but told him that after returning, he should reflect on how to conduct business.
If Xu Huanshan's attitude towards negotiating with customers does not change and continues like this, the fireworks factory should be closed as soon as possible.
Facing Gu Jia's accusation, Xu Huanshan's face was uncertain and his chest filled with anger.
On the way back from seeing Gu Jia off, he originally wanted to talk to his girlfriend and ask her to stop drinking with clients outside in the future.
Those customers are not good people, and they almost set their eyes on Gu Jia.
In the end, Gu Jia persuaded herself to apologize to such an old scumbag customer.
Why?
Xu Huanshan watched Gu Jia enter the Yipin Mansion and froze there for a long time. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to express his depressed mood.
Su Mingzhe, one of the four dormitory brothers back then, started his own business early and is now the richest man, so he has parted ways with the other three.
Later, Shi Tonghai chose to stay at the fireworks factory.
Xu Huanshan and Shen Jie resigned to start their own businesses, so they had less contact with him.
Now that Xu Huanshan is depressed, the only person he can find is Shen Jie.
Shen Jie, like Xu Huanshan, also had a headache.
Xu Huanshan made a call, and Shen Jie arrived immediately.
I ordered a plate of edamame, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold vegetables, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a beer from the roadside stall.
The two began to complain to each other.
Xu Huanshan said that his talents were not appreciated, and the fireworks he worked so hard to design and produce were so beautiful, but those customers were blind and insisted on discounts and rebates before they signed contracts with him.
He and his girlfriend Gu Jia invited them to dinner, but it turned out that each of these people was more of a bastard than the other, and they all peeked at his girlfriend in front of him.
Shen Jie's depression is similar to that of Xu Huanshan. Both of them are men of science and are relatively straightforward in everything they do.
Thinking of the fireworks that I worked so hard to develop, I thought that after starting my business, I would be able to shine, amaze the world, and eventually create a net worth of hundreds of millions.
As a result, when I found a customer, I hadn't introduced the products of my fireworks factory yet, so the other party, in a bureaucratic tone, asked me to keep some of the products, saying that they wanted to test the effects before deciding whether to buy them or not.
Shen Jie left a lot of products for several amusement parks. As a result, these products became meat buns and dog-fighting products.
After contacting me again, the other party said that Shen Jie's products had no price advantage and were not very effective.
After the two men complained to each other, they took a taxi back to where they lived.
After the two resigned, Shen Jie and his girlfriend Zhang Wenrui rented a house in a village in the city, and the room was also used as a temporary warehouse.
Xu Huanshan originally wanted to rent an apartment and live with his girlfriend Gu Jia.
At the beginning, Gu Jia was ready to agree to her boyfriend's proposal, but as a result, the two of them had fallen out several times recently because of discussions about clients, and the matter of moving in together was abandoned.
Xu Huanshan now lives in an office rented by the company.
the next day.
Zhong Xiaoqin does not need to go to work because she is feeling unwell.
Gu Jia woke up relatively late because she was drunk.
It's past eight o'clock and the two women haven't gotten up yet.
Nine o'clock.
Xu Huanshan called Gu Jia and asked her why she didn't go to work at the company.
Gu Jia didn't say much, just said he would go later and hung up the phone.
Zhong Xiaoqin was watching TV in the living room when she heard the noise in the bedroom and ran in and said considerately:
"Jiajia, I made some sour soup. You can get up and drink some."
"Thank you, Xiaoqin."
Gu Jia rubbed his sore forehead, got up from the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing, the two women sat at the dining table to eat.
Seeing her best friend looking exhausted, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but feel distressed and said:
"Jiajia, I have already negotiated with the boss. You can come to the company and sign the contract. Anyone can use the fireworks anyway. If... I really want to leave Ark, the big deal is, you and Ark will discuss it again.
That’s it.”
"this……"
Seeing that her friend insisted on signing the contract, Gu Jia was a little hesitant for a moment.
She and her boyfriend quit their jobs and started a fireworks factory. It turned out that although Xu Huanshan knew how to design fireworks, he knew nothing about business management, human relations, etc.
So far.
Gu Jia had already secretly regretted that she had asked her boyfriend to quit his job and start a business out of curiosity.
But the matter has come to this point and there is no way to go back.
Because, of the company's 500,000 yuan operating start-up capital, in addition to the more than 100,000 yuan in salary savings accumulated by myself and her boyfriend Xu Huanshan, there are also more than 300,000 yuan in loans mortgaged by my own property.
If you choose to give up at this time, half a million yuan of capital will be wasted. Xu Huanshan and himself can continue to find jobs and accumulate strength to start over again, but the father who supports his own business will lose his house and live on the street.
After struggling in my heart.
In the end, Gu Jia could only bite the bullet and agreed to sign a cooperation agreement with Ark New Energy.
Because if the company doesn't open, it will really go bankrupt.
If the company really goes bankrupt, you will not be unlucky alone, but your whole family will be unlucky as well.
I cannot afford such consequences.
As for the previous issue, I was worried that in order to help me sign a contract with Ark New Energy, my friend would be blackmailed by Su Mingzhe and force Zhong Xiaoqin to submit to him.
If it really doesn't work, when you go to sign the contract yourself, go to Su Mingzhe and make it clear.
Anyway, I can't let my best friend be harmed by Su Mingzhe because of me.
Made up my mind.
Gu Jia cleaned herself up and took a taxi to the company.
When he arrived at the company, Gu Jia first called Shen Yue and asked what information was needed to sign the contract.
Shen Yue had been notified by her boss a long time ago, so she explained the required information to Gu Jia in one breath, and told her that as long as she had the information ready, she could come over to sign the contract at any time.
Gu Jia received Shen Yue's confirmation notice and agreed to send the materials in the afternoon instead of wasting time.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Shen Yue went to work, she received a notification from the doorman that Gu Jia had been waiting at the doorman's office for a long time.
"Miss Gu, please excuse me for waiting."
Shen Yue had just left the office building and came not far from the doorman. When she saw Gu Jia waiting for her, her eyes lit up.
Before Gu Jia came, he specially changed his clothes.
Not only is the windbreaker white, but the bra, shirt, suit, trousers, and high heels underneath are also all white.
Even the women's watch on the wrist is white, and finally it comes with a white bag.
Gu Jia, who has always had ice-cold skin, has brought her noble and cool aura to the extreme at this moment.
Shen Yue originally thought that she was cold enough in the office on weekdays, and would reject people thousands of miles away.
But compared with Gu Jia's outfit, she still looks a little softer.
I'm really ashamed of myself.
"Hello, Assistant Shen, I'm here early."
Gu Jia didn't say anything nonsense about her recent arrival. Although she came here this time to go through the formalities and sign a contract, she still had the proper etiquette and couldn't be found guilty.
"Miss Gu, come with me."
Shen Yue didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, asked the doorman to help Gu Jia go through the entry and exit procedures, and took her to the reception room.
Colleagues from the legal department have been waiting for a long time.
Because the boss said it in advance, the legal department was not too picky and just checked Gu Jia's fireworks factory documents, information, qualification certificates, etc.
Make sure these things are OK.
Shen Yue asked the legal department to prepare the agreement and contract, and then asked Gu Jia to wait while she went to report to Su Mingzhe.
"Assistant Shen, can I meet with Mr. Su?"
Gu Jia stopped Shen Yue who was about to leave. Seeing her surprised expression, she quickly smiled and explained:
"Actually, you, Mr. Su, and I are also old friends. My boyfriend Xu Huanshan is his classmate in college. This time I came to your Mr. Su's place and just walked in. It's really not the way to be a guest."
"Yeah?"
Shen Yue saw that Gu Jia's expression was open and calm, without any embarrassment or pretense. She couldn't help but nodded and said: "Then I will report to the boss later, please wait for a while."
"Excuse me, Assistant Shen."
Gu Jia sent Shen Yue away and sat back down.
A few minutes later, Shen Yue came back and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, our boss still has some things to deal with. He asked you to go to his office and wait a moment."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Jia was relieved when she heard that Su Mingzhe was willing to see her.
She was afraid that if Su Mingzhe disowned his old relationship, she would not be able to 'protect' Zhong Xiaoqin.
Shen Yue took Gu Jia to Su Mingzhe's office and personally gave her a cup of hot tea.
Well, Su Mingzhe’s two life assistants, one is on a business trip and the other is on ‘sick leave’.
Shen Yue took on the role of work assistant and life assistant today.
About two minutes passed.
Su Mingzhe came back wearing a protective suit.
He was working as a toolmaker in the workshop just now, giving a lecture to several experts sent by Guodian - "How to Care for the Operation of the Reactor".
That's why Su Mingzhe came back wearing protective clothing.
"I'm sorry, Jiajia, for keeping you waiting for so long. Just sit down and don't get up. Shen Yue, come here and help me take off my clothes."
Su Mingzhe smiled and said hello, then stood next to the changing wardrobe and asked Shen Yue to take off his protective clothing.
The protective clothing is relatively thick.
So when wearing it, wear as little clothing as possible.
When Gu Jia saw Shen Yue clumsily helping Su Mingzhe take off his protective clothing, he thought about approaching and helping him take off the protective clothing that looked a bit bulky.
As a result, Gu Jia just walked not far behind Su Mingzhe, and then Su Mingzhe turned sideways, and she saw the mosaic.
She was so frightened that she turned around quickly with a blush on her face:
"Why is this Su Mingzhe wearing clothes like this? Doesn't this make people look like needles?"
