Chapter 239 Crisis

Gu Yimin and Ye Chi returned to the room together. She placed the share transfer agreement in front of Ye Chi and said, "I can't accept this."

Ye Chi had expected her to do this. He lowered his eyes to glance at the agreement and said, "You know my situation. I only get a little over 100 yuan in allowance every month, and even my dad only makes a little over 300 yuan. My family didn't have much money before. I invested all my savings in this company and took out some loans. Although the company is profitable now, I don't have much left after paying off the loan. This is all I can take out."

Ye Chi's salary and allowance of more than 100 yuan is definitely high compared to many people. His monthly salary of more than 100 yuan is definitely enough to support a family.

But the key was that the Gu family was in business, and Gu Yimin's share of the profits was countless times more than his salary. And although the company he invested in had good returns, after paying off the loan, the money he had left was not enough to buy a betrothal gift.

Besides, this thing will be handed over to Gu Yimin sooner or later, it's just that the name of the shares will be changed to hers. It doesn't matter. They are people who will spend their lives together. Does it matter whose name the thing is in?

But Gu Yimin's idea was different from his. Although Ye Chi said that he would hand over all his salary and investment income in the future, handing it over and turning the shares into hers were completely different concepts.

Besides, if she accepted the shares, what would happen if Erhui, Sanjing, and Xiaosi got engaged in the future? Would their partners also be given shares?

"I know what you mean," Gu Yimin said, "I can manage the returns from your investment in the future, but the shares cannot become mine. Besides, I'm the eldest in the family, and it wouldn't be good to set a precedent."

Ye Chi sighed, stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, his back slightly bent and his lips whispered in her ear: "I just want to give you the best I can give."

Her heart was hit hard, Gu Yimin stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly, she thought that any woman would fall for him after hearing such words.

In the end, Ye Chi left the share transfer agreement, but Gu Yimin didn't sign it. Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju didn't care about it, as they didn't intend to take the betrothal gifts.

Zhang Zijun went back and told Zhang Jingtong about the betrothal gift from the Ye family. After hearing it, Zhang Jingtong asked, "What are your plans?"

From the perspective of an old father, he naturally did not want his son to give away his business. But if his son insisted, he would not object. After all, it was his own work, so he should be able to deal with it himself.

To put it bluntly, no one took money too seriously, including Ye Chi. Compared to his career in the army, the company he invested in was just a subsidiary.

"Erhui said she didn't want it, saying she didn't have time to take care of my things. It seems Gu Yimin didn't want Ye Chi's shares either." Zhang Zi was very troubled. After Ye Chi did this, he didn't know what betrothal gift to give.

Zhang Jingtong thought for a moment and said, "Let's not compare ourselves with Ye Chi. His situation is different from yours. You can consider the house you bought in Kyoto as a betrothal gift."

He knew Ye Chi's general situation just by thinking about it. All his money was invested in the company, and he didn't have much money. The Gu family was rich, and giving a small betrothal gift would not show sincerity, so he used company shares as a betrothal gift.

Of course, this was a huge deal, considering the company's shares were the goose that laid the eggs. However, there was no need for them to give away shares as well, and following the trend wasn't the Zhang family's style.

Zhang Zijun thought about it and decided it was a good idea. It just so happened that the house was right next to Erhui's, so it would be nice to give them both to Erhui to make a big house. However, if they lived there after they got married, he would be living in his wife's house.

But that doesn't matter, he doesn't care about it.

A few years ago, Zhang Jingtong and Zhang Zijun also came to the Gu family to propose marriage. Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju were relieved to see that there were no shares in the betrothal gifts. If every son-in-law followed suit and gave shares, it would be bad news.

Both of his daughters were engaged, and Comrade Gu Jianguo felt a little lost. He said to his wife before going to bed at night: "I feel a little empty inside because they are not married yet. What will I do if they are married?"

Wang Yueju snorted: "Even though you say that daughters and sons are the same, in your heart you still regret not having a son."

Gu Jianguo didn't expect that she would catch him talking after he sighed, and said, "Look at you, I was just sighing."

"What's there to lament about? Is a daughter who's married off really like spilled water?" Wang Yueju slid into bed and continued, "Besides, doesn't a son have to live separately from his parents after getting married? Isn't it the same principle? After all, they all grow up and fly away."

"I was just thinking about moving the company to Kyoto." Gu Jianguo lay down, turned off the lights, and the couple talked in the dark. "The company will still rely on Erhui and Yimin in the future, but the Zhang and Ye families are both in Kyoto, and we can't keep two young couples separated all year round. Sanjing will participate in the provincial sports meet next year. If she does well, she can join the national team, which is also in Kyoto. With Xiaosi's academic performance, he should have no problem getting into a university in Kyoto."

Wang Yueju heard him say this and asked sideways, "When are you planning to move?"

"It's not a move, I just want to register a company in Kyoto, which will be a branch. I plan to open a large supermarket in Kyoto, as big as the one in Hai City." When saying this, Gu Jianguo's tone was full of ambition.

"That's definitely not easy," Wang Yueju said. After all, this was Kyoto, a place full of high-ranking officials.

Gu Jianguo patted his wife on the back and said, "It's definitely not easy, but we have to take this step sooner or later." Their goal is the national market.

"Then I can't fall behind." Wang Yueju said.

Gu Jianguo smiled, "Okay."

After the New Year, Gu Jianguo began to discuss with Gu Erhui about entering the Kyoto market. In the end, they decided to test the waters in Lizhou for a large supermarket, and at the same time find a suitable store in Kyoto to open a small supermarket to test the waters in Kyoto.

Gu Siqing is currently in the second semester of her freshman year of high school. Although her current courses aren't too demanding, she can no longer slack off like she did in elementary and middle school. To maintain her top grades, she must work hard.

Han Zhengping is going to compete in the International Mathematical Olympiad in July, and his studies are very intense. The two of them often go home after school to practice together.

However, on Sunday, Han Zhengping accompanied Gu Siqing to the dance class, which was a way to relax.

On this Sunday, after dance class, Gu Siqing was already at the entrance of the dance school when the teacher called her back. She could only wave to Han Zhengping and ask him to wait by the roadside.

"Student Gu Siqing, I still recommend that you participate in this dance competition. You have a good image and are very explosive, so you will definitely win a prize. Winning a prize will also be beneficial to your future. If you want to apply to a school like a drama academy, it will add points."

Gu Siqing listened impatiently. She had never thought about applying to a drama academy, okay?

"Teacher, if you continue to persuade me like this, I will..."

Before she finished speaking, a pickup truck rushed out from a small road and hit Han Zhengping directly.
