I answered Zhou Mo's phone and said, "Hey, Zhou Mo, I was just thinking about calling you, and you called me."
"What? You miss me, brother." Zhou Mo replied with a smile.
"I have something I want to ask you to help me with."
"What's going on?"
"Tell me your story first. Why are you looking for me?"
"Oh, the hospital has notified you to come for a reexamination. It's been three months."
"Why didn't they just call me?"
"I happened to go to the hospital to do some errands today, and I met Director Jiang. He thought I was your wife, so he told me to ask you to come to the hospital for a review."
I was stunned and said: "That's it! I'll go there when I have time."
"I'm not asking you to take time to come. In these two days, you must take time to come." Zhou Mo said seriously.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow. I'll come to Beijing tomorrow."
"Well, call me when you get on the plane and I'll pick you up."
"It's too troublesome for you, you are so busy."
"What am I busy with? I've passed the exam now and I'm just waiting for the results to come out."
"That's okay."
"Well, it's a deal! You have to come tomorrow. It's been more than three months since you came here."
I responded, and Zhou Mo asked me again: "What about you? What do you want from me?"
"This matter is quite embarrassing for me. Your uncle called me yesterday and asked me to be a guest at home."
"Ah? Why did he suddenly invite you as a guest?" Zhou Mo asked doubtfully.
"I was quite curious at the time, but later I found out that your uncle wanted me to participate in a project and wanted me to invest in it."
"What project?" Zhou Mo asked again.
"It was a real estate project that the government was bidding for. It said no one was investing, so they wanted me to bid. But as you know, our group has never been engaged in real estate business, so it's not feasible at all."
Zhou Mo is quite smart, she understood when I said this, and then said: "I understand, you want to refuse, but you can't say it, do you want me to say it?"
"Well, I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
"It's okay, just leave this matter to me. Remember, you must come to Beijing for review tomorrow."
"Well, you must come. Then Zhou Mo, your uncle will leave it to you."
"Don't be so polite to me. Why are you so unfamiliar? You are my brother!"
I smiled, exchanged brief greetings, and ended the call.
After putting down the phone, Gao Sheng asked me again: "What's going on? Who asked you to invest in real estate?"
I sighed, then subconsciously lit a cigarette and said, "Uncle Zhou Mo invited me to dinner yesterday. It turned out that he wanted me to participate in investment in a real estate project, but I refused."
Gao Sheng took a breath and said: "We are not in the real estate business, why do we ask you to invest?"
I shrugged and said, "I guess you just want me to invest. Where will I get the money to invest?"
Gao Sheng sighed and said, "But he is from the political field, and we small businessmen cannot afford to offend him!"
I took a puff of smoke and said, "So I can only ask Zhou Mo to come forward."
"If it weren't for Zhou Mo, it would be really difficult to refuse this matter."
"Who says it's not? Forget it, let's not talk about it. I still have a few documents to read. You can go back first."
Early the next morning, I got on a plane to Beijing.
After arriving at the Capital Airport, Zhou Mo was already waiting for me at the pick-up gate.
After we met, she took the initiative to give me a hug, and then said happily: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why have you lost weight?"
"Have it?"
"I feel thinner. It must be because I have been busy with the group recently, right?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, you have changed a lot!"
"Me? What has changed?" Zhou Mo asked, tilting his head.
"You cut your hair short and you look more energetic."
Zhou Mo smiled and said: "The word spirit is used well, just say it's ugly."
"You said this yourself!"
Zhou Mo puffed up his cheeks, looking angry, and said angrily: "Brother, you are so annoying."
We were talking and laughing as we walked towards the parking lot.
After getting in the car, I asked her seriously: "By the way, have you told your uncle what I asked you to do yesterday?"
"I called my mother last night and mentioned it a little bit," Zhou Mo said while driving the car.
I asked hurriedly: "What did your mother say?"
Zhou Mo said with a slightly heavy expression: "My mother said that my uncle is now responsible for that project, and it was also proposed by him, but this project is too difficult to establish, not to mention finding investment, and the top and bottom
The resistance is very strong.”
I sighed softly and said: "Zhou Mo, actually, I also asked the professional real estate companies in Chengdu about the Lushan Village development project, and they all said that they wouldn't dare to invest in it if they couldn't touch it, let alone me.
."
"I understand what you mean. I have also been doing ideological work for my mother. Originally, your group was not in the real estate business."
I paused and said, "Actually, if you ask me, since there is such a big resistance, I can try to give up."
Zhou Mo shrugged and said: "I told my mother the same thing last night. In fact, my mother also persuaded my uncle many times, but my uncle said that this project is very important and said it should be made into a demonstration project in the province.
, The most important thing about being able to take the lead is that this project may be my uncle’s last job before retirement, so he doesn’t want to leave any regrets.”
After saying that, she took a deep breath and said to me in a different tone: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you refuse. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. My uncle just wants you to participate in investment."
"Well, please."
"It's okay. By the way, brother, how are you doing lately?"
"Are you talking about my personal life or the company?"
"Let's talk about it. I see that you have been looking a lot haggard recently."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm okay! My life is pretty good, but I'm too busy at work. Recently, our group's products have encountered a lot of problems, and we're also facing upgrading work, which is quite tiring.
"
Zhou Mo suddenly fell silent, then suddenly sighed and said, "Brother, I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you say you're tired."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, when your company encountered the smuggling problem, I thought it was so difficult at the time, but you never said a word about it."
"Haha, I forgot about it."
"You have forgotten, but I have not forgotten. I was moved by your persistent spirit at that time. I will help you no matter what. You have to leave something for your youth." Zhou Mo said with a smile.
I let out a long breath and said, "I don't know why. I just feel very tired recently and feel a little out of my depth in many things."
When the car was waiting at the red light, Zhou Mo turned to look at me and said seriously: "Brother! If you ask me, you have almost made enough money now, why don't you consider quitting? Then take your sister-in-law and children on a trip.
Travel and experience the great mountains and rivers of our motherland."
I smiled and said, "Sounds pretty good."
"Seriously, your current savings should have already enabled your family to achieve financial freedom, right?"
"I didn't calculate it carefully."
"That's it. What's there to say? You can't make all the money! If I were you, I would quit and enjoy life."
"How old am I to just quit?"
"It has nothing to do with age. As long as you like it, you can do it, right? Brother."
I smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Maybe I should really think about what Zhou Mo said. How can I make all the money, or should I really withdraw it?
