Rebirth 2011

Chapter 352 The price of growth

"Old Xu, I have to accept what you say."

Chen Jiangjun, who was looking at the menu with He Jingjing, couldn't help giving a thumbs up after hearing the reason why the other party opened the shop.

Just looking at the decoration of this barbecue restaurant, it costs at least a million.

He is still calculating the salary of five or six thousand and the monthly expenses of several thousand, worrying about when he will be able to afford a house in Hangzhou, and the other party spent millions to open a barbecue restaurant, just to win his wife's favor.

The fate of people is really different.

Back then, Xu Renshan was one of the poorer family members in their high school class, but in the blink of an eye, he became a rich family that his migrant workers envied.

"Mr. Xu, you should not only open this store, right?"

After ordering, He Jingjing smiled and asked the handsome guy opposite.

As a native of Hangzhou, He Jingjing, whose family background is not bad, thinks that she is more accurate in judging people, just as she can understand Chen Jiangjun's family conditions, but she is very motivated and belongs to a potential stock, so she did not refuse the invitation of the other party.

If Chen Jiangjun can work hard in a short period of time, get promoted and raise his salary, and his family can support him to buy a house in Hangzhou, He Jingjing may not be able to consider going further with him.

Since the handsome guy in front of him opened a barbecue restaurant of this size on this relatively remote Zijin Road, he certainly couldn't just rely on this to support his family.

If the other party's family background is good, Chen Jiangjun can still take advantage of the other party's momentum, and perhaps he can achieve a new level faster.

"Well, I have opened a few other small companies. He doesn't need to call me Mr. Xu, just call me Lao Xu or Renshan just like Ah Jun."

Glancing at the other party, Xu Renshan replied simply, and poured a cup of freshly ground hot soybean milk for the long-legged female student next to him.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Xu Mutou was still so caring, Li Yanfei had a happy smile on her face.

Although Xu Mutou was reluctant before, it was all superficial, and he still cared about her in his heart.

"Mr. Xu is humble. We are about the same age. Chen Jiangjun and I are still working part-time. You are already the boss."

He didn't follow the other party's suggestion to call "Old Xu", and He Jingjing, who felt that she was not familiar with the other party, still maintained a polite attitude so as not to leave a bad impression on the other party.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was already married, the female classmates brought here would be quite dazzling, so He Jingjing might have other ideas in her heart.

Now, naturally substitute Chen Jiangjun's ordinary female friend.

"Everyone has just graduated, I'm just a little luckier than ordinary people. Like Ah Jun, the salary is raised once a year, and the annual salary of 50 million will be very fast in the future."

In this regard, Xu Renshan did not casually comfort others.

Judging from the trajectory of previous lives, Xu Renshan didn't know about Chen Jiangjun's specific development, but at a certain high school reunion, he learned that the other party bought a suite of 600 million yuan in Hangzhou, and his monthly salary reached [-] to [-] yuan. Belongs to the proper gold-collar class.

It's just that Chen Jiangjun, who had been a programmer for more than ten years at that time, had a high annual salary and his head was bald.

"Old Xu, in honor of your good words, I would like to offer you a toast."

After listening to Xu Renshan's words, Chen Jiangjun, who felt very honored, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and continued to do it boldly.

"I'll drive later, so I won't drink."

Facing the toast from his old classmate, Xu Renshan kept his promise to his wife, did not drink, and drank half a cup of warm soybean milk.

What's more, now that drunk driving is being punished, his reason is very legitimate.

For someone like Chen Jiangjun who hasn't bought a car yet, there is no reason not to drink, unless it is an alcohol allergy.

"."

Originally, he wanted to inquire about the specific company of the other party, but He Jingjing, who was interrupted by Chen Jiangjun, did not continue to ask, and waited for a chance to talk about it later.

What's more, after everyone finished supper and separated, she could also ask Chen Jiangjun in private.

In the casual chatting of several people, all kinds of barbecue ingredients were delivered quickly, and the exquisite blue and white porcelain plates looked very stylish, which was more in line with the price of the dishes here.

"Student He, let Ah Jun roast what you want to eat."

Putting the fresh squid and mutton skewers on the grill, Xu Renshan smiled and let the two people on the opposite side do whatever they wanted.

Not to mention, this specially designed oven is very convenient to use. The charcoal smell from smokeless charcoal grilling is sucked away by the special smoke exhaust vents on the upper side of the oven, which is completely free from the choking smell of ordinary grilling. smell.

When I came here with my wife last time, I just used the barbecue grill to cook the soup briefly, and I didn't feel much. Now Xu Renshan found that the comfort is very strong after getting started with the barbecue.

Chen Jiangjun, who was sitting opposite Xu Renshan, also started to move. Barbecuing food is a man's home game.

And He Jingjing, who had other thoughts, temporarily let go of her inner calculations and began to choose her favorite food.

The environment and price of this barbecue restaurant are very suitable for her taste, and she can't say that she can come here to eat with friends in the future.

"Bake this for me."

While eating the freshly roasted Chinese cabbage, Li Yanfei unceremoniously picked up two bunches of shiitake mushrooms and handed them over.

"Ah."

Putting the shiitake mushrooms on the grill casually, Xu Renshan continued to chat with Chen Jiangjun on the opposite side.

He Jingjing, who was sitting opposite, lingered on this handsome guy and his female college classmate for a moment, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ajun, where do you live, do you want me to send you off?"

After eating supper, Xu Renshan looked at Chen Jiangjun and Chen Jiangjun who were fine, and asked with a smile.

If the relationship between Chen Jiangjun and He Jingjing was good enough, Xu Renshan might not have asked so abruptly, so as not to disturb the good opportunity of his old classmates.

After all, the long night is long, and lonely men and widows may walk on the road and walk to the hotel.

However, when eating supper earlier, Xu Renshan found that Chen Jiangjun's progress was obviously in its infancy, and the two of them hadn't even touched each other, so they didn't want to think about assisting.

In particular, He Jingjing took a taxi home when she was about to go out at the banquet, and Chen Jiangjun who didn't have a car had no drama at all.

"Okay, I don't live far away, please help me send Jingjing back later."

Hearing what his high school classmates said, Chen Jiangjun didn't think too much, and nodded in agreement.

There is this enthusiastic high school classmate, he feels suitable and honored, and feels that he has a lot of face in front of the beautiful classmate He Jingjing.

"can."

Nodding his head, Xu Renshan did not refuse.

"Thank you Brother Xu."

After getting along during the supper tonight, He Jingjing, who got to know her a little better, changed her name.

Naturally, she got into the co-pilot seat, because she tasted a few sips of beer "curiously" while eating supper tonight, and Li Yanfei did not drive for safety reasons, and took Xu Mumu's car back.

He Jingjing, who had a flash of thought in her eyes, sat in the back seat, and she was not dissatisfied with Chen Jiangjun.

When she got into the car, He Jingjing subconsciously looked at the dashboard in front of the driver's seat, and found that the BMW had only driven more than 2000 kilometers, so she knew that the other party didn't drive this car often.

How could a young rich man who casually spent several million to open a barbecue restaurant own several companies and only drive a BMW 5 series? Presumably the other party valued his friendship with Chen Jiangjun, a classmate, and did not drive any luxury cars.

Perhaps, Chen Jiangjun can really catch up with the opponent.

In contrast, Chen Jiangjun, who was sitting in the back seat of the same car with He Jingjing for the first time, smelled the light perfume on the other person's body, and his heart beat a lot faster.

However, Chen Jiangjun felt that it should be because he drank a lot of wine.

Needless to say, He Jingjing smells very good, she is indeed the girl he likes.

"Ah Jun, where do you live?"

After starting the car, Xu Renshan asked Lao Chen who was blushing behind him.

"Anthracene, I live right in front"

Hearing Xu Renshan's question, Chen Jiangjun came back to his senses and pointed out the location of the rental house.

Because the company was nearby, Chen Jiangjun, who had just been transferred from Shanghai, rented a house in a mid-range community next to the company, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. The rent was not expensive, and there was also a rental subsidy from the company.

Getting off the car at the entrance of the corridor in his own community, Chen Jiangjun lowered his head and said a few words to Xu Renshan and He Jingjing respectively. He watched the taillights of the BMW disappear at the corner of the street before turning and entering the stairs.

"Brother Xu, thank you so much for today."

The BMW parked at the door of her house, He Jingjing smiled and thanked the handsome driver in front of her.

"You're welcome."

Nodding and smiling in response, Xu Renshan started the car without stopping when the other party got off the car.

Seeing that the house in the other party's house was an ordinary local household, Xu Renshan knew that the other party's family situation should be okay, and he became worried about Chen Jiangjun.

Not to mention the prejudice of Hangzhou locals against outsiders, even the value of this house, Chen Jiangjun will not be able to afford it in the next ten years of hard work.

What's more, if a man and a woman start to develop a relationship, they will enter the age of marriage in less than two years. What capital does Chen Jiangjun have at that time.

Like him, a beautiful wife doesn't need any betrothal gifts, and she promises to give hundreds of thousands of living expenses every month, and finally gives back billions of start-up funds. The whole world may not be able to find a second one.

Survivor bias, he's the only one.

"Looking at it like this, it's quite difficult for your high school classmate to catch up with that He Jingjing."

The BMW was driving smoothly, and Li Yanfei, who felt that the atmosphere in the car was too quiet, took the initiative to start the topic.

"How did you see it?"

Hearing what the long-legged female classmate said, Xu Renshan, who was in a pretty good mood, asked with a smile.

Idle is also idle, it is not bad to have a girl to talk with while driving.

"During the barbecue just now, your classmate Chen was trying his best to be courteous, while that He Jingjing behaved very plainly. In addition, the family backgrounds of the two are quite different. Women are strong and men are weak, so classmate Chen will only be a candidate for the other party. , or the kind that is not ahead.”

Regarding this point, Li Yanfei thinks that her observation ability is still good.

Although Concubine Li Yan couldn't understand the troubles of ordinary people, the older sisters and colleagues in her office could chat. When she was free on weekdays, she listened to this kind of gossip from parents a lot.

In particular, the concept of some middle-class people in Hangzhou is full of malice towards ordinary foreigners with ordinary families.

Li Yanfei has summed up a lot of experience by listening to examples such as the woman's wedding gift is too high, and the man has to borrow money to buy a house.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to think about this kind of trouble in the future.

After snatching Xu Mutou over, not to mention the dowry, the pocket money of more than [-] million in her account can be given to the other party.

"Good analysis, continue."

For Li Yanfei's observation ability, Xu Renshan nodded in approval.

Seeing Xu Mutou's approval of this topic, Li Yanfei continued to say enthusiastically: "But, if classmate Chen can get on your line, He Jingjing may move his candidate position forward."

"You think so highly of me?"

Unexpectedly, he was involved, Xu Renshan smiled noncommittally.

He didn't show any capital in front of his old classmates at all. It would be too exaggerated if He Jingjing had such an idea just by having a supper.

"Of course, in my eyes, you have always been the best."

Holding her delicate face in both hands, Li Yanfei looked affectionately at her sweetheart in the driver's seat. Xu Mutou, who was driving seriously, was still so handsome.

Concubine Li Yan never concealed her feelings for Xu Mutou after the big sister next door took the lead regardless of morality.

"speak English."

Xu Renshan, who didn't turn his head to look at the long-legged female classmate, ignored the fiery gaze, looked straight ahead, and said calmly.

"When I got in the car just now, I found that He Jingjing looked at your car mileage and deliberately inquired about your business while eating supper. She must have guessed that you have a lot of money. Considering your current age, she will probably put you Think of it as the rich second generation of a billionaire family. In this case, classmate Chen will befriend you and gain some connections. It will not be difficult to gain a foothold in Hangzhou in the future."

Putting away the jokes, Li Yanfei analyzed everything in detail.

As the person who paid the most attention to Xu Mutou tonight, Li Yanfei could clearly see that He Jingjing's concern for Xu Mutou.

Putting herself in the other party's shoes and thinking about what the other party was thinking, Li Yanfei made a good guess.

"Exactly."

After listening to Li Yanfei's analysis, Xu Renshan was deeply moved, but his face still remained expressionless.

In a blink of an eye, that innocent long-legged female classmate from back then has left the innocence of the ivory tower, and gradually understands the ways of the world.

I don't know whether to rejoice for the other party or lament the price of growth.

Relatively speaking, Xu Renshan was even more impressed by the cute and silly long-legged female classmate back then.

After all, the two of them were separated from each other in the previous life, and the number of times they met after graduation was very few. Xu Renshan's deepest memories all stayed in college.

Perhaps, it was also the reality of society that made the two of them in the previous life not cross the line of dispensability.

"Thank you for the compliment."

For Xu Mutou's affirmation, Li Yanfei was in a very happy mood, and then chatted about another interesting thing about the studio.

It's a pity that the itinerary was too short, and Li Yanfei felt that she had arrived at her own community before she had said a few words.

As usual, she got off the car at a corner where she couldn't see her home, and Li Yanfei walked back home briskly, as if she didn't know that there was a silent guarding figure behind her.

Driving back home, when Xu Renshan returned to the bedroom, he saw his sleeping wife and quietly walked into the bathroom.

Although the weather is getting colder recently, Xu Renshan still maintains the habit of taking a bath once a day, especially today he smells of barbecue.

"I'm home."

When her husband went to bed, Shi Yuxuan woke up, muttered something softly, then turned her body sideways, put one hand on the other's body, and then fell into a deep sleep with her eyes closed.

"Ah."

Similarly, Xu Renshan soon fell asleep.

December approaching the Gregorian calendar, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually cooling down, and Hangzhou is no exception. However, in the bustling shopping center in the city center, you can still see chic girls who are not afraid of the cold in windbreakers and stockings from time to time.

Compared with the refreshing dress in summer, the standard attire of these white-collar girls is undiminished.

At this time, Xu Renshan, who had just bought a cup of hot Jiaoma at the MC coffee directly operated by his company, was not in a good mood.
