The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang entered the house, said hello to her mother who was sitting in the living room on the first floor watching TV, and then went upstairs. Almost at the same time as she went upstairs, her mother also stood up and muttered:

"Sleep, sleep, there's nothing interesting to watch on this TV."

Xiaofang secretly felt funny. Her mother was like this every time. She was obviously waiting for Xiaofang to come home, but she seemed embarrassed to say it out loud and pretended to be watching TV. As soon as she saw Xiaofang coming back, she would immediately find an excuse. Going back to the room, Xiaofang actually knew that her mother was already very sleepy. She might have fallen asleep on the sofa and only woke up when she heard her door open.

When they didn't live together, Xiaofang didn't know that her mother cared about her so much. After living together, Xiaofang clearly felt it.

People of their parents' generation are always shy about expressing their feelings directly, and at the same time, they are like spiders who like to huddle in corners for fear of disturbing you and affecting your work. Your work is really insignificant to them. It was hard to understand. They looked at Xiaofang as not looking like Zhang Chen. She didn't run a factory or a restaurant, so how could she still make a lot of money.

In fact, they were worried about whether the money was legitimate. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was not the case. Xiaofang was not someone who would do such illegal things, and it was not worth it. Zhang Chen would not allow it.

They then thought, is it too easy to make money this way, and will something happen? The money comes too quickly and easily. In the past, they relied on speculation, and if they were caught, they would be imprisoned and paraded on the streets. Now, it is still speculation, and they themselves are It's been great, and I feel that only by sweating, sweating, and earning money like that can I feel at ease.

I was worried, but I was too embarrassed to ask, and I didn't even dare to make any more calls. I just waited here every day, waiting for Xiaofang to come back, and then I felt relieved and could go to sleep peacefully.

While Xiaofang's mother was sitting outside waiting for Xiaofang, Xiaofang's father was in the room. He was actually listening with his ears pricked up. He was relieved when he heard the sound of Xiaofang and her mother talking from outside.

In the eyes of parents, Xiaoshu doesn’t need to worry. Xiaoshu is a boy. Shouldn’t boys go out and make a living? What's more, Xiaoshu now has his own home, but his daughter is different. When she was in her hometown, Xiaofang was at home. When she arrived in Hangzhou, although this was Xiaozhao's home, they lived together and ate together. , it feels like Xiaofang still hasn’t left home.

After Xiao Zhao passed away, they were even more worried about Xiao Fang. Then Xiao Fang went to the United States, but in their hearts, they felt that going to the United States was still different from going to other places. If they went to other places, Xiao Fang might not come back. But when they go to the United States, they stubbornly believe that Xiaofang will definitely come back. The United States is not her country. What else can she do if she doesn't come back?

Moreover, there has always been Xiaofang’s room here in Hangzhou. It was there when Xiao Zhao was here. Even though Xiao Zhao is gone, Xiaofang’s room is still there. Parents feel from the bottom of their hearts that Xiao Zhao has never left home. , or at home, with them.

When Zhang Xiangbei also went to the United States, they felt even more that Xiaofang's purpose in staying in the United States was to take care of Zhang Xiangbei. If Xiao Zhao was gone, and if Xiaofang didn't take care of Beibei, who else would take care of him?

So when they knew that Xiaofang was going to return to China, they were not surprised at all. They looked at Xiaofang and Zhang Chen and saw that the two of them were very good together. They felt the same as Zhang Chen's parents in their hearts. They felt that there was nothing better than the two of them. There is nothing better than getting married and being together. This is to solidify everything and the feeling of a family.

They no longer need to worry about Xiaofang leaving home, getting married and having children, whether her husband is good to her, Zhang Chen finding another woman to marry, or whether the stepmother is good to Beibei. Now there is no need to worry about anything. .

When Zhang Xiangxi was born, they felt that everything was perfect and stable, and the family could be together like this from now on.

The only thing that worries them now is Xiaofang's safety. They are too unfamiliar with what Xiaofang does, and they can't understand where her money comes from. They can see what Zhang Chen does and how much money she makes. Xiaofang and the others did not understand. Especially after Zhao Zheng arrived, Xiaofang's mother became even more worried.

Zhao Zheng said he was an assistant, but in fact Xiaofang's mother knew that she was the bodyguard arranged by Xiao Wu. Zhang Chen's business was so big that he didn't have many assistants or bodyguards. What was Xiaofang doing? She was worried that someone would harm her. , still need bodyguards? Xiaofang's mother didn't dare to ask, but when she asked, Xiaofang told her that she didn't understand either, but she still worried about it every day.

Zhang Chen stood at the top of the stairs and watched Xiaofang coming up from below with a smile. Zhang Chen asked:

"why are you laughing?"

Xiaofang shook her head and walked closer before whispering to him: "It's mom. She's waiting for me down there every day, but she's too embarrassed to tell her."

Zhang Chen also laughed. He patted his chest and said, "There is another one. There is another one waiting for you upstairs. You are double insured."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Xiaofang's bag from her hand. Xiaofang smiled and said, "Thank you, dear."

He came closer and kissed Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was wearing pajamas and pajamas. It looked like he had already taken a shower. Xiaofang said, "I'm going to take a shower."

Zhang Chen said yes.

Xiaofang said coquettishly: "I'm tired, please help me wash."

Zhang Chen raised the bag in his hand and said, "Okay, you go first, I'll put it away and come back."

The two people came out of the bathroom and walked to the sofa in the study room to sit down. Xiaofang rubbed her hair with a bath towel while walking. After sitting down, Zhang Chen had already picked up the hair dryer in his hand and blew Xiaofang's hair. Fang lazily leaned on Zhang Chen's body.

Xiaofang likes Zhang Chen to blow dry her hair very much. Zhang Chen is very patient and careful when drying her hair. First, the autumn wind blows through her hair, blowing away the wet water, and then uses a small strand of hair to dry her hair. He picked it up with his fingers and blew it carefully, as if Xiaofang's hair was his work, and what he was holding was a brush, painting stroke by stroke.

Xiaofang could feel his attentiveness every time, and felt sweet in her heart. They could play for half an hour at a time. Neither of them spoke, and Xiaofang would not urge him to interrupt. Every time after playing, Zhang When Xiaofang took a deep breath and agreed with her, she always felt as if she had just been hypnotized and then woke up.

Then, Xiaofang's head would go into Zhang Chen's arms, and Zhang Chen would hold her, and sometimes she would fall asleep like this. Only when Zhang Chen picked her up sideways and wanted to take her to the bedroom, would Xiaofang Wake up, smile gently at him, and hook his neck with your hands.

Today was different from usual. Xiaofang felt that her hair was almost done. She sat up straight, reached out and took the hair dryer from Zhang Chen, turned off the switch, and placed it gently on the coffee table.

Xiaofang turned around, raised her legs on the sofa, and sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen also turned sideways and looked at her. Xiaofang and Zhang Chen said:

"My dear, let me tell you something."

Zhang Chen said yes and laughed: "What's the matter? You're taking it so seriously."

Xiaofang nodded "Yeah": "It's very important. I'm going to start A on 'Eating Men and Women'."

"So fast?" Zhang Chen was startled, then blurted out.

Xiaofang still nodded and said: "Yes, the time is almost up. The investors who are already interested are very capable and suitable. Liu Yun, Xiaohu and I all feel that now is the best time for the A round. Dear, do you know what your 'eating man and woman' is now valued at?"

"How many?"

Zhang Chen continued Xiaofang's words and asked. Although Xiaofang mentioned an investor who was already interested, he was not interested in knowing who this person was.

"It has increased by 12.5 times, and the valuation is 1.25 billion yuan."

Xiaofang emphasized twelve point five times, wanting Zhang Chen to feel a sense of accomplishment. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen was a little absent-minded and indifferent after hearing this. He said:

"'Food and Drink' is not short of money now, is it really in need of financing?"

Indeed, since "Food and Drink" was officially launched, the funds on the books are not decreasing, but increasing every day. Because it is a hotel without a store, the initial investment is very low. The rented house is not a storefront house and the location is relatively remote. The area is not large and the rent is very cheap. The main expenses are the purchase of vehicles, personnel expenses and training fees.

But traditional hotels also need this part of the cost.

After officially opening, compared with traditional hotels, they have no inventory and waste every day. What's even more amazing is that they are doing almost a business without capital. They purchase goods from "Zhai Xian Delivery" and settle the bill after the total bill comes out the next day. Yes, but for customers, after every service order is completed, they can get the money immediately, which is equivalent to using the customer's money to pay for the next day's purchase.

Every amount of money that comes in will be more than the money that goes out. After starting business in dozens of cities, it would be strange that the funds on their books do not increase every day.

"Food and Drink" is not short of money, and a company that is not short of money still needs to raise funds. Most people can't understand this reason, and there is no urgency to raise funds, so there is no need to be so anxious.

"Need." Xiaofang said, "Money is a problem, time is a more important problem."

"How much money are you planning to raise?" Zhang Chen asked.

"One hundred and sixty million." Xiaofang said.

Sure enough, Zhang Chen immediately said: "Can you please stop financing and pay for half an acre of land, or I can pay for it myself."

Xiaofang reached out and held Zhang Chen's hand, shook her head, she said no, it was not designed this way.

Xiaofang saw Zhang Chen's face gradually becoming a little solemn, Xiaofang said slowly:

"My dear, let's analyze it carefully and talk it through, okay?"

Zhang Chen nodded.

"Tell me, do you not want others to enter the 'Food and Drink'?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen was silent for a while, and then he said, "Actually, I have been thinking about one thing during this time."

"What's up?"

"I'm thinking..." Zhang Chen hesitated for a while, then continued: "I'm thinking if I can buy you, Liu Yun, and Xiaohu's shares, or even, if necessary, half an acre of the farm's shares. I’ll buy them all with my own money. Just as you said, the valuation is 1.25 billion. I’ll buy it. I want to turn it into my own company.”

Xiaofang was shocked. She thought about the A round. When she told Zhang Chen, he might hesitate and need to do the convincing work. What she didn't expect was that Zhang Chen actually had such an idea and wanted to "diet men and women". "The idea of ​​turning into a sole proprietorship.

Xiaofang asked: "Why?"
