Xia Shande waved his hand and said, "I really don't know. Why don't I tell Zekai when he comes back and see what advice I can give him?"

When several old men heard what he said, they immediately nodded: "Sure, brother Shande, we are also a little selfish, but we really think about the young people in our village."

"Look, there are still a few families in our village with young people. They are all old guys who can't do any work. They might die at home one day and no one will know."

"Yes, yes, let's just say that brother Shan Gang is now seventy, and in order to buy a house for his son and find a wife, he works as a laborer with the construction team every day."

"I heard that the foreman of his construction team didn't say anything. Others thought he was old and slow in his work. Finally, they went to the foreman and reduced his salary by another ten yuan a day. He is already this old.

Tell me what else you can expect."

"But there is nothing I can do if I don't want to do it. I have to work hard even if I bite the bullet. It's easier to spend time at home, but who will pay for it? How much can I earn from farming?"

"..."

Xia Weicheng came over with two plates of cut fruits. He said, "Uncle, you guys eat some first. I'll go stir-fry right away and have a drink at home at noon."

Before he left, someone said, "Look at Acropolis. He is now a serious retired worker. How much is his retirement salary? It must be more than a thousand, right?"

"Uncle, I just completed my retirement last month. I haven't received a pension yet, and I don't know how much I can get." Xia Weicheng said this, but he had already heard the news from other colleagues. After retirement,

The salary is stable at more than 1,500 yuan. If heating and other subsidies are included, it can be less than 2,000 yuan a month.

"Yeah, I think it's indispensable anyway," an old man said.

Xia Weicheng didn't talk to him about it and went to cook.

In the kitchen, Xia Weicheng talked about this matter with his wife Zhou Yinghong. Zhou Yinghong frowned slightly and said, "Will this cause trouble to Zekai? If he is in trouble, let's tell dad not to mention this matter to Zekai."

Already."

After all, she is her mother. In her heart, her son is more important than anything else.

Xia Weicheng said: "If this is to cause trouble or not, let's just tell Zekai. It's up to Zekai himself whether we can help or not, and whether it succeeds or not. Let's not force him. That's fine."

"Well, when these uncles leave, we should also tell our father not to take jobs casually." Zhou Yinghong reminded.

Xia Weicheng nodded and said: "My father can't save face, but she usually doesn't agree to people easily. You'd better cook quickly and stew the vegetables and meat until they're soft, otherwise they won't be able to bite them."

Zhou Yinghong rolled her eyes at him and said, "I still need your advice, hurry up and cut the vegetables, cut some potatoes, cut them into pieces and stew them, it's so chewy."

Xia Weicheng turned his head while working and said: "It's better to go out for a walk. I didn't understand this before, but I understand it now. How about we go out for a walk before going to Qicheng?"

Zhou Yinghong didn't want to talk to him anymore, and finally said: "You'd better get to work quickly. Don't think about what you have and don't have. It's great if you only have some spare money."

…

In Beijing, after Yixing’s C round of financing was completed on May 8, that night, Liang Rubo and Yu Shuping called Zhang Yiming to invite the five finalists to have dinner together, and Xia Zekai also took the two sisters there.

The two of them became the pistachios at the banquet.

Shen Nanpeng had always had a question in his mind, and while drinking at night, he finally couldn't help but ask it out.

"Boss Xia, did you and your wife do this Kaiyun Investment together?" he asked.

Xia Zekai said: "How is it possible? Don't think too much, Boss Shen. This is what my wife did herself. I am too lazy to do this."

Luo Xiyun raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his hand. If you are too lazy to knock him down, it looks like I have nothing to do and am very idle.

The others laughed kindly after seeing it, and during the dinner they also talked about the next development path of Yixing.

Liang Rubo had the most comprehensive considerations, and he had consulted Xia Zekai more than once about how to proceed in the future, but their visions were still limited.

The people at the table today, except for Luo Xiyun, who has a lot of talent, the rest are all influential figures in the investment field.

Whether it is Shen Nanpeng, Li Yuanzhu, or Yuri from Temasek and DST, they are all top players.

After all, they invested heavily, and they carefully analyzed to Liang Rubo how Yitrip would be better in the next step. These opinions were analyzed after they saw different scenery from a certain height.

Liang Rubo suddenly realized it and felt that he understood a lot more.

The night passed quickly. After the show, they all went back to their hotels or temporary accommodations to have a good night's rest. They had more things to do tomorrow.

Xia Zekai plans to take Yatou and Tongtong around tomorrow morning. Luo Xiyun will sign a formal investment contract with Jingcheng Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. on behalf of Kaiyun Investment tomorrow.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Liang Tongshun and the others, who had returned early, were still waiting for Luo Xiyun to come back.

The four of them finished the celebration banquet in the afternoon and were very excited when they came back. They were not qualified to attend the party in the evening, but it did not prevent the four of them from having a dinner together. While enjoying the night view of the capital, they also tasted the delicious food of the capital.

Everyone was still a little excited.

There were no outsiders left. Thinking about what happened during the day, their hearts were on fire. That feeling was really not something outsiders could experience.

"What do you think Mr. Luo was thinking at that time? Her heart is so big, I can't bear it anymore." Wang Fang patted her chest with a scared expression. That's 6 billion...US dollars.

She never dared to imagine it in her life.

Sun Yuping raised her head and said: "You don't understand this, don't you? Even though our company is so small, the registered capital is actually 100 million yuan, which is real money, unlike others. Just settle the account and it's over."

"Who says it's not the case, but if I were to check my psychological quality this morning, it would be really unbearable." Song Jinpeng drank a glass of beer to calm down his shock, and then said with a smile: "Director Sun, I guess after you go back this time It will be easier to recruit more people, and you have to be careful when the time comes, because everyone else is recruiting into the company."

Sun Yuping nodded matter-of-factly and said, "That's for sure. Apart from anything else, this academic qualification must be mentioned at a higher level. Priority will be given to recruiting graduate students and those with a bachelor's degree..."

Wang Fang looked at Song Jinpeng with resentful eyes, and she muttered: "Brother Song, if you have nothing to do, just drink two more glasses of wine, no one will say anything else to you!"

"Ahem!" Song Jinpeng also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly picked up the wine glass to cover up his embarrassment.

In fact, he is just a junior college student in the Academy of Finance, so what qualifications do he have to ask others? This makes him seem to be no longer a human being.

After dinner, they didn't go anywhere else, so they went back to the hotel and waited for Mr. Luo to come back, wanting to ask her what her next step would be.

But they didn't expect that Luo Xiyun would tell them when he came back that he would have a day off tomorrow and let them play as they pleased and return to Qicheng on the 10th.

Xia Zekai had to go back. It had been a week since he came out, and the first ten days of the year passed in the blink of an eye. He had a lot of things to do.

He still had to go back to the villa and install the furniture. If it was almost ready, he would have to move there, and then move his parents and grandfather over too.

His younger brother is also getting married next month. Although his younger brother is already an adult, in Xia Zekai's eyes, his younger brother will always be just a boy. How could his little self-righteous thoughts escape Xia Zekai's grasp?

I think I am very powerful, but I still look very childish when doing things.

…

Early in the morning on the 10th, Wang Yi drove Liang Tongshun and others to the station and asked them to take the high-speed train back.

Xia Zekai and his family of four took the car back.

Xia Zekai received a call from his mother, Zhou Yinghong, who said inexplicably on the phone: "Zekai, if you receive a call from your hometown recently, no matter who asks you to do something, just ignore it."

"Mom, what happened?" Xia Zekai asked him.

Zhou Yinghong said: "It's nothing, just don't embarrass yourself."

After hearing this, Xia Zekai felt warm in his heart. He wondered what was going on.

Zhou Yinghong didn't explain anything clearly, and finally hung up the phone. This made Xia Zekai full of doubts and aroused his curiosity even more.

He thought that when he returned to Qicheng, he would call his father and ask what happened in his hometown.

"Zekai, what did our mother say on the phone?" Luo Xiyun looked at her husband's eyebrows and twisted them into a straight line, and asked him in confusion.

Xia Zekai shook his head and said, "I didn't understand either. My mother just said that if someone from my hometown calls me, tell me to leave it alone. Wife, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Xiyun thought for a moment and said, "Did someone ask you to do something? Please go to our parents first?"

Xia Zekai thought for a while and nodded: "Daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense. Forget it, let him go. If it can be done then, we will do it. If it can't be done, we won't take the job."

In this aspect, Xia Zekai is very open-minded and never forces himself or shows off.

Yatou and Tongtong each fell asleep in the back seat holding a doll. Xia Zekai was also a little sleepy. He put down the back of the chair, propped up his legs, and said to his wife: "I'm going to rest for a while.

You should also rest."

Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng were driving in front, and he felt very at ease.

I don’t know how much time passed before Wang Yi called him: “Boss, boss, wake up, we are almost reaching Qicheng.”

"Is it coming so soon?" Xia Zekai was confused, but when he looked at his watch, more than five hours had passed, and he was so hungry that his stomach turned sour.

Then he turned around and saw his wife and two daughters sleeping soundly.

Wang Yi said: "I saw that the boss was not awake, so he didn't call when he passed by the service area. The two of us drove back directly while working in reverse."

Xia Zekai said to them: "Don't do this next time."

"Hey!" Wang Yi responded. Even though he said so, he would still do it next time.

After the car got off the Qicheng Expressway, Xia Zekai woke up his wife and two daughters.

About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Ziyu Garden Community. It was only around two o'clock in the afternoon. Yatou and Tongtong were feeling hungry and kept shouting: "I'm so hungry."

Luo Xiyun got some bread and ham for each of them to eat first to fill their stomachs and cook them later when they get home.

…

After the car entered the underground parking lot, Luo Xiyun took Yatou and Tongtong up first, while she went back to cook.

Xia Zekai asked Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to pack their luggage and sent them upstairs. He was not in a hurry to go upstairs and planned to call his father Xia Weicheng first.

But the mobile phone signal was not very good in the parking lot below, and the sound was intermittent. Xia Zekai shook the mobile phone in his hand to find a signal, but it was in vain. He finally took the elevator upstairs.

At the entrance of the corridor on the sixteenth floor, Xia Zekai called his father.

After waiting for his father to answer the phone, Xia Zekai chatted with him for a while and asked him how the retirement procedures were going.
