After a year's absence, Yang Chen and his cousin Guo Tao met here.
"The ** Building is so fucking **." Guo Tao repeatedly sighed after entering the private room. Since Xiaoxiang Restaurant is a restaurant designated by the government, and buses come and go every day, the people in Xijing jokingly call it the ** Building.
Guo Tao opened the menu and couldn't help but be stunned. Almost all the dishes were priced over a hundred. There were many dishes priced at two or three hundred each. When he came to eat here and weighed his order, the per capita consumption would probably be upwards of three hundred. Obviously Xiaoxiang Tower
It's not a place to entertain ordinary people.
"Yang Zi, please order. I was shocked by the price." Guo Tao handed the recipe to his cousin Yang Chen carelessly, not caring what the pretty waitress thought.
Straightforward and straightforward.
Guo Tao's temperament is also the reason for his appetite for Yang Chen. This year, he still stayed in the original private company, getting up early and working hard, earning a salary of just over 3,000, renting a house with his colleagues, and living a mostly drifting life.
Young people in provincial capitals cannot escape the hardships of life.
Day after day, there is no hope.
He firmly believed that without his cousin Yang Chen, it would be more difficult to get ahead than to reach the sky.
"Brother, I'm really sorry. I left in a hurry last year and didn't settle you properly, so you wasted another year of your precious life." Yang Chen teased his cousin while showing a hint of guilt.
"With a brother like you, let alone waste a year, I am not in a hurry to waste ten years." Guo Tao smiled heartlessly. He and his cousin had been playing in open crotch pants for a long time, and they knew each other very well.
Son, he never worried about being let go.
Yang Chen laughed heartily, ordered the dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter. When the waiter left the private room, he pondered for a while and said: "Brother, I'm looking for you today just to think of a way for you."
"Oh, tell me." Guo Tao was full of expectations, secretly thinking that his cousin, who was very clever and clever, would arrange for him to join a government agency or to work for a free salary in a central and state-owned enterprise.
"Lao Hong has a piece of land, close to the high-speed rail station and the new long-distance bus station. It's a prime location. He wants to develop a commercial complex. If you have a share of it, I'll transfer it to you. When the sales department builds it and puts it on sale, I'll guarantee you a couple of cents.
You drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, and have a lot of money, so you can do whatever you want."
What Yang Chen said was so calm, Guo Tao was overwhelmed with emotion. A bitter white-collar worker suddenly engaged in development with a big brother from society. This huge span made him unbelievable.
"Why, you're not happy?" Yang Chen smiled and stared at his stunned cousin.
Guo Tao hurriedly shook his head. How could he not be happy with a good thing falling from the sky? Then he thought about it. A commercial complex in a prime location is worth tens of thousands per square meter. The profit from participating in one share is at least hundreds of millions.
Hundreds of thousands or millions, brothers, don’t worry about it, don’t care about it, how about a few hundred million?
Guo Tao couldn't help but expressed doubts and said: "Yang Zi, if you want to do development, you have to invest some money first no matter what. I'm single and can't do anything. I just sit and wait for the dividends. How can the big brothers feel comfortable?"
Yang Chen smiled slightly. His cousin did not get carried away by the huge benefits. He kept having fun. It was commendable. He said, "You represent me, so you should take the money as you deserve."
Guo Tao was confused and didn't understand what his cousin meant.
"That piece of land is a hot commodity. I'm afraid it won't work if just a few social big brothers develop it. I have to find a character who can live in both black and white. Your cousin and I are this character. You are one of the shareholders, but others
What the eyes represent is me." Yang Chen explained patiently, and Guo Tao suddenly realized.
My cousin’s name is worth hundreds of millions!
Guo Tao nodded slowly, and his heart became more and more shocked. He knew that his cousin was awesome before. As for how awesome he was, he, a bitter little white-collar worker, couldn't really feel it. Today, he finally had a rough impression. He stared at Yang Chen and said anxiously:
"Yang Zi, if you get involved in this project, let's say at least a few hundred million. I don't need that much money. A few million is enough. The rest is still yours."
Millions.
It was enough for Guo Tao to gain a foothold and lay a solid foundation in the provincial capital.
Xijing is not Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the cost of living is not too outrageous.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "This is a way for you to get ahead. Why should I get involved? Besides, your brother and I are not short of this money. Let's rest in our hearts and think about what we will do with the money."
Don’t you need this much money?
Guo Tao was confused by Yang Chen's words.
The delicious food was served, and the two brothers chatted while eating. Guo Tao was full of praise for the dishes in Xiaoxianglou. They are worth every penny, and the chef's skills and ingredients are all top-notch.
"You didn't go home during the Spring Festival this year, and our dear eldest cousin kept talking about you, saying that you dated several rich girls at the same time and spent a lot of money. You might as well learn to use the Internet to make friends and defraud people of your sex. He reminded your parents over and over again that you were dating a lot of money.
Pay attention, Yang Zi, you said that if I take advantage of you and get rich suddenly, my eldest cousin will hate us both to death, so I think you should also help their family." After Guo Tao finished speaking, he was happy, but there was actually something in his words.
Yang Chen chuckled.
Cousin Guo Tao has no habit of talking about people behind their backs.
This is simply a reminder to him that as a family, don't favor one person over another.
"My eldest cousin's family is living a comfortable life now. Just a small amount of money is enough. You can't be too rich, otherwise something will probably happen." Yang Chen said calmly. The eldest cousin's family is considered well-off at best. They are arrogant in front of their relatives and really make a fortune.
Don't be so awesome that you don't get into trouble.
Guo Tao thought about it and thought so.
"When you get rich in the future, try to cheer them up a little bit." Yang Chen said, staring at his cousin with a profound meaning. Guo Tao was startled, and then nodded heavily.
Cousin is interesting!
Guo Tao secretly praised that back then, his eldest cousin's family was in debt, which almost drove his cousin's family into desperation. According to his mother, at that time, his second uncle Yang Guodong was almost forced to sell blood. If it were him, he would never be like his cousin.
Open-minded.
Why doesn't Yang Chen remember the bitter past? But with his status today, he doesn't bother to worry about it. Let the past go. It's a waste of emotion to dwell on those bad things.
The two brothers had a two-hour meal. After the meal, Yang Chen drove Guo Tao back to the residential area where he rented a house. It was an old railway family area. The red brick buildings were in dilapidated condition. They must have been produced in the 1990s.
Guo Tao lives here, firstly to save money, and secondly to be close to the company, killing two birds with one stone. He got out of the car, waved his hand, and watched his cousin turn around and leave, with mixed feelings in his heart.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
He truly realized the true meaning of it today and had the urge to cry. He had been wandering in the provincial capital for three years and knew how difficult it was to change his destiny.
……………………
Yang Chen returned to Xijing for half a month, settled all the trivial matters, and enjoyed college life peacefully, wandering around classrooms, canteens, dormitories, libraries, and stadiums, and lingering with Shen Yue every now and then.
No killing, no intrigue.
Yang Chen enjoyed this simple, comfortable and comfortable life. Time passed quietly, the weather turned cold and winter came, but a phone call from the capital completely disrupted his peaceful life.
"Something happened to Ruirui!"
The caller was Wu Jie, and his impatient words gave Yang Chen an ominous premonition.
