Five years later, Kang Shaojie, who returned to China to start a company, stood by the window of the office to answer the phone, "Fan is back? Want to move? Well, I'll be right here, you must wait for me!" memories.
After returning from Liuxing Village that year, he was sent by his parents to B City to study languages, and then transferred to the United States to study abroad. After several years of hard work, he finally made some achievements in the field of AI, and returned to China with his team. , founded a high-tech company, which started to make a profit in just a few months, and the prospects are very broad.
He will always remember the scene when he hugged the little girl and cried like a fool on the day he went abroad, and the little girl caressed his head very gently and kept telling him that as long as he worked hard, the future would be bright. He was very fortunate to have met her and spent those hard and happy years with her. Without that experience, he wouldn't be who he is now.
Standing in a corner of the airport with the little girl, he took this photo and set it up as a screensaver, which has never been changed in five years. He lifted the little girl up and put it in his arms, like holding a child. She looked so small and thin, and he was so strong and tall, but the truth was the opposite, the little girl was the most powerful person he had ever seen in his life.
After returning to China, he kept trying to contact her, but learned from Shen Jiayi that she was preparing to start a business. Now that he is investigating a project in a field, he may not be able to return without eight or nine months of effort. He waited patiently for more than half a year to hear from her.
He quickly packed up the documents, then drove to the address shared by Shen Jiayi, but met Cao Muchen in the lobby on the first floor. He also came back from abroad, with a beautifully dressed and fashionably dressed girl in his arms.
The two of them returned to the country before and after, and they would get together once every two or three days. Naturally, the relationship would not be unfamiliar. They just nodded at random and entered the elevator without even explaining their purpose. Don't ask, they must have all come to move Lin Dan.
"My dear, is this friend you're talking about the little girl you met in the country? I watched that season of "The Metamorphosis"! After so many years, I don't know what she has become." As he spoke, he fluttered his hair in style, showing a sense of superiority all over his body.
Kang Shaojie knew that this was Cao Muchen's new girlfriend, Xia Zhi. She had a very special name and a proud personality. After all, she was a top student who returned from studying in France.
Cao Muchen chuckled and said, "I also really want to know what she has become now. She never uses social software or posts on Moments. If you make a video call to her, she still doesn't answer, and it takes a day or two to reply to you if you send WeChat. In a word, we really can't do anything about her." Having said that, Cao Muchen's smile was helpless and gentle, but there was no resentment at all. He knew too well how busy Lin Dan was in order to live a good life.
"Then isn't she a weirdo?" Xia Zhi pouted.
"She's called personality." Kang Shaojie said with a cold face.
Xia Zhi quietly pinched Cao Muchen's arm and asked him to take care of his good friend, but he didn't dare to retort Kang Shaojie in person. This person is 188 cm long, which makes the elevator look extra crowded. His facial features are extremely handsome, but his temperament is very cold. He clearly has a pair of peach blossom eyes, but he can't see the slightest emotion in his dark pupils. He is more like a machine. And his identity is even more incredible. He is the only heir to the Kang Corporation, and he is also the founder of a high-tech company with tens of billions of assets under his name.
Although Cao Muchen's family background is also very good, compared with him, it is still a line behind. Thinking of this, Xia Zhi pinched her boyfriend's arm again, full of grievance and annoyance.
This building is one elevator per household. The elevator door is facing Lin Dan's house, so it is very convenient to get in and out. Cao Muchen stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but was blocked by Kang Shaojie, "Wait a minute, I'll tidy up my demeanor first." Then he stroked his hair, straightened his tie, and took a look at the front camera of his phone as a mirror. Finding that he was very handsome, he whispered, "Knock on the door."
Cao Muchen chuckled and knocked on the door, but Xia Zhi gave Kang Shaojie a surprised look. Is this person still the IT upstart? This nervous appearance is very similar to those rookies who are interviewing for the first time.
The door opened, and a chubby young man waved the feather duster in his hand and said with a smile, "Come in and become a long-term worker, there is work for you at home!"
"Are Kang Shaojie and Cao Muchen here?" A gentle voice came from the bedroom, and then a girl with long hair came out. She was wearing a pure black one-shoulder sweater and navy blue pencil pants. She was 175 centimeters tall. Although her skin was honey-colored, it was very smooth and delicate, and it shone brightly under the light.
Her figure is very hot, with crisp breasts, slender waist, straight buttocks, slender legs, and perfect proportions. What is even more dazzling is her facial features. The black and bright cat pupils can easily seduce the soul when looking at people intently; the lips are slightly thicker, but the lip shape is very beautiful, with a thin layer of lipstick, the lips are bright and moist, like ripe cherries.
She is pure and sexy, walking towards the front with a light catwalk, like a sweet dream that suddenly came to the world. Cao Muchen and Kang Shaojie were both stunned. They met for the first time in many years, and they didn't know what to do. Xia Zhi also shook his head, then he suppressed his scornful smile and became more cautious. This person is not the same as the country girl she imagined.
"What are you doing stupidly? Help." Lin Dan took out two rags and said to Xia Zhi warmly: "You are Cao Muchen's girlfriend Xia Zhi, right? The living room has been cleaned, you sit and rest for a while, we will soon Just fine."
"Oh, alright." Kang Shaojie and Cao Muchen finally recovered, then immediately took off their suit jackets, rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Lin Dan broke the estrangement with just one sentence, making the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant again, as if they had never been separated, and they were still a group of four who set up a stall and made money together back then.
Xia Zhi reluctantly smiled, but did not rest, but followed Cao Muchen step by step.
Lin Dan pulled Kang Shaojie to the corner and whispered, "I went to see my uncle and aunt this morning. Is the person who went to your house to get the documents your partner?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Kang Shaojie looked at this beautiful face for a moment.
"Then pay attention, his relationship with Herbalife is unusual." Lin Dan wiped the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony as he spoke.
"Huh?" Kang Shaojie's slightly dazed eyes instantly turned cold.
"I'm a chef, and my nose can't smell it wrong. Herbalife is used to mixing Bvlgari Darjeeling tea with Hermès Nile Garden, and your partner has the same scent. One fragrance can be said to be accidental, two There are very few people who use it together, and it can't be explained, so you should be on guard." Lin Dan sighed.
"Okay, I got it." Kang Shaojie took out his phone and said, "I'll call and have someone check it out." He completely believed Lin Dan's words. Even if they haven't seen each other for many years, the trust between them is still there. .
Lin Dan looked up at him, his smile suddenly brightened.
Kang Shaojie was stunned, then went to the next bedroom hand in hand.
After a while, Xia Zhi walked to the balcony with his mobile phone, first nodding at Lin Dan apologetically, then dialing a number and saying in French, "Susan, I can't go to the dinner party later, I was caught by that guy Cao Muchen. He tricked a country girl to clean the house. Yes, he was the one he knew when he recorded "The Metamorphosis", and his family was so poor. He didn't change much, his skin was as black as charcoal, and he was very petty. He didn't know how to find part-time workers when he moved. Asking three big men to help her clean the house, what do you mean by her? No relatives and no reason, they just recorded a program together, and they have been pestering them for five years. What do you think she wants to do? ?Fly on the branches and become a phoenix? She wants to be beautiful! Alright, alright, I will pay attention. I have a high education, a good family background, and a beautiful appearance. Can she compare with me? Let me tell you a funny thing, She squatted beside me to clean the glass, but she didn't know what I was talking about, and she laughed at me, hahahaha..."
Xia Zhi hung up the phone and said softly, "Lin Dan, shall I help you?"
"Okay, thank you." Lin Dan handed her the rag and smiled more and more gently.
Cao Muchen could understand a little French, but he was not good at attacking his girlfriend on the spot, so he could only nod at Lin Dan in anger. Lin Dan waved his hand and walked into the kitchen.
An hour later, Kang Shaojie received a call, and his expression became extremely gloomy. Seeing the fish head with chopped peppers, braised pork, tofu pot, and stir-fried Chinese yam that Lin Dan served on the table, he regained his handsome and sunny smile.
"Cheers to our reunion." He raised his glass and looked at Lin Dan with burning eyes.
"Cheers." Lin Dan clinked glasses with him, and then tapped the bottom of the cup lightly on the table, motioning Cao Muchen and Shen Jiayi to drink at will.
After the efforts of several people, this apartment of more than 100 square meters has bright windows and elegant decoration. It is dyed with a layer of warm colors by the afterglow of the setting sun, making it extraordinarily comfortable. Xia Zhi looked around and asked curiously, "Lin Dan, what is the monthly rent for this house? It must be tens of thousands, right?"
Before Lin Dan could answer, Shen Jiayi waved his hand and said, "I bought this house lightly. The full price is 12 million."
Xia Zhi's hand holding the cup slipped and almost spilled the wine. Where did this little rural girl get so much money from? Could it be that the Kang family, the Shen family and the Cao family funded it? She is so lucky!
Shen Jiayi didn't notice Xiazhi's consternation, and continued in a proud tone: "Do you know how capable we are? She made her fortune by contracting the school cafeteria. At the age of fourteen, she became the richest man in Peach Blossom Town. He was specially approved by the school to participate in the college entrance examination. He won the title of the provincial champion of science with a score of 739 points. He was admitted to Q University and received a total of 2.5 million bonuses from the school, city and province. During the summer vacation, he founded a family with this 2.5 million. Food processing factory, specializing in the production of bacon, sausage, dried bean curd, jarred vegetables, bibimbap sauce and other specialties of Taohua Town. The university majored in food science and engineering, and also majored in food processing technology. I am an outstanding young entrepreneur in H City, I am a senior this year, I am only 18 years old, and I am about to open a candy factory, how about it, is it awesome?"
"Cow, awesome." Xia Zhiqiang held up a smile. She never expected that Lin Dan, who had left the public eye, would achieve such a brilliant achievement. She was worth over 100 million at the age of 18, and she also graduated from college. What was she doing when she was 18
The more Xia Zhi thought, the redder his face became, and his eyes began to dodge.
Cao Muchen took a sip of wine and said with a sneer, "Shen Jiayi didn't tell you one thing, he is lightly proficient in six languages, especially French."
Bang dang, the wine glass in Xia Zhi's hand smashed on the table, and the red wine was spilled all over, looking so embarrassed and embarrassed.
Lin Dan sighed, and had to take her to the bathroom to wash, and also brought her a dress she had never worn. When he came out again, Xia Zhi became silent, and kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone. No wonder Lin Dan smiled at her when she was cleaning the glass. It turned out that in Lin Dan's eyes, she was nothing but a clown.
Cao Muchen ignored her at all and stared at Lin Dan: "Is your factory short of investment? My brother has some spare money in his hand."
"Of course not. How much are you going to invest? Wait a minute. I'll show you the project." Lin Dan brought a thick stack of materials from the study.
Cao Muchen and Shen Jia gathered together to read the plan carefully, but Kang Shaojie kept sending WeChat with people, as if he was very busy. His eyes were bloodshot, and he drank red wine cup by cup, exuding a cold aura all over his body. Lin Dan didn't ask any further questions, just covered his wine glass with his hand and rubbed his head.
Kang Shaojie's sullen eyes instantly returned to gentleness and calmness, and he suddenly put his head against her shoulder and bumped him a few times, like a coquettish big dog.
Lin Dan looked at him and chuckled, and his lazy attitude greatly appeased Kang Shaojie's anger and anxiety. Just as he could rely on the little girl in the past, she is still his spiritual support now.
The few people gathered until after eleven o'clock in the evening before dispersing. Shen Jiayi and Cao Muchen finalized two investments of 10 million yuan. Kang Shaojie was still chatting on WeChat, something must have happened in the company. Even after being separated for five years, the habit they formed at the beginning was still retained by them. When they left the apartment, they washed the dishes, swept the house, wiped the table, and even brought out the garbage bags and threw them downstairs. in the trash can.
As soon as Cao Muchen and Shen Jia left the community on the front foot, Kang Shaojie came back on the back foot, standing at the door with red eyes.
Lin Dan was very helpless, but there was nothing he could do about the drunk. He brought the person into the guest room, wiped his face and hands, took off his coat and shoes, helped him lie down on the bed, and then called Kang's mother and asked the Kang family to send a driver. catch.
"No, I'll find a chauffeur myself later." Kang Shaojie held her cell phone and begged in a low voice.
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Dan moved a chair, ready to listen to his long talk.
"My partner is my senior and one of my best friends. I didn't expect him to betray me for a woman. Do you know why I hate Herbalife?" Kang Shaojie moved forward and hugged Lin Dan waist.
Lin Dan didn't push him away, but stroked his shiny black hair. She knew how heart-wrenching it felt to be betrayed.
Kang Shaojie rubbed against the girl's soft belly and said in a sullen voice, "When I was ten years old, I suddenly developed a high fever, I don't know how many degrees it was, but it was serious, but there was no one at home, I was lying on the bed softly, all the muscles in my body were numb. In pain, like dying. In my daze, I heard Herbalife walk into my bedroom and I could hear her footsteps. I closed my eyes and asked her for help, but instead of saving me, she quietly left Later, the nanny who had asked for leave suddenly came back and found me seriously ill and rushed to the hospital to save my life. I told my mother about this, but she didn’t believe me and thought I was I got it wrong, and I haven't mentioned it to anyone since."
Lin Dan patted him on the back without saying a word. She knew that this person didn't need comfort, just talk. This matter had been in his heart for too long, and the distrust of his family made him suffer even more.
Kang Shaojie lay in Lin Dan's warm embrace and continued, "Just now, I sold the company to a senior for $100 million, and he will give me the money tomorrow. You know, he doesn't have that much money at all, Herbalife. No, but she will definitely raise money at any cost. She will sell the shares, real estate, luxury cars, and jewelry that my parents gave her. I have already registered a personal patent for the company's core technology, which belongs to me. I can take it directly. Since Herbalife likes the rest of the shell, I will give it to her, but she must return everything from the Kang family. "
Hearing this, Lin Dan couldn't help shaking his head. After so many years, Herbalife is still obsessed.
Kang Shaojie was silent for a while, and then said: "Dan, after I get the money, shall I go back to Taohua Town to open a factory with you? My company is gone."
"Okay, as long as you don't dislike my small stall." Lin Dan readily agreed. After protecting the cub for so long, how can it be said that it will not be protected when it grows up.
Kang Shaojie buried his head in her stomach and grinned quietly. In fact, how could he be so vulnerable? The previous complaints were just to make this request. He really wanted to go back to the little girl, listen to her instructions, help her with her work, and dream about...
