Chapter 534 Extra 2: The grave is closer to the dead, so we can hang out together at night

"Brother Yu, what do you think about the list of anchors who sell goods that I reported to you two months ago?

According to my understanding, many anchors on the list have begun to be signed by other companies to exclusively sell products during this period. If we don’t take action, it will probably be too late. ”

Wan Tang is Fang Yu’s junior at HKUST.

When Fang Yu was a junior in college, he met Wan Tang by chance. He found that Wan Tang was very smart, so he recruited him to work under him.

Wan Tang is also the only employee Fang Yu brought over from Chayu after he left there.

Fang Yu sat in his office, rubbing his temples and said, "Let's give up all these anchors and take care of the company's current anchors first... In addition, hurry up and get those supply channels that I emphasized at the meeting yesterday. The company can't afford to waste time now."

"Brother, I'm afraid..."

When Wan Tang heard this, he looked embarrassed.

Seeing Wan Tang like this, Fang Yu was startled: "Afraid of what?"

“I’m afraid we can’t take over those channels, because I’ve already negotiated with them, and the people in charge of those sources said that someone has already spent double the money to take over these channels.

If we want to get this supply channel as originally planned, I'm afraid we'll have to spend a lot more money on top of the original amount..."

When Fang Yu heard this, he was instantly discouraged.

He sat in a chair with a dull look in his eyes.

Four years ago, that was the year Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu got married.

Fang Yu resolutely resigned from Chayu, and with his savings over the years and the support of Luxi, he founded his own company.

In fact, Fang Yu’s annual salary at Chayu at that time had reached 800,000.

The most important thing is that he still has shares in Chayu, and he can get between 3 and 6 million in dividends every year.

If he continued to develop in Chayu, Fang Yu estimated that his annual income would have reached tens of millions today.

But Fang Yu doesn't want to live like this anymore.

It’s not that he was unwilling to serve under his good brother Xia Tian, ​​but the incident that happened on the way to Shangri-La completely changed Fang Yu.

That’s right, this is exactly what Yu Jia said on the snowy mountain at that time.

"You are just a dog, a dog that only follows summer. If there is no summer, what are you?"

Yu Jia's words were deeply imprinted on Fang Yu's heart at that time.

At first, he didn't feel anything.

As he grew older and worked at Chayu, this sentence always lingered in Fang Yu's mind.

Moreover, in the company, he always felt that managers at the same level as him looked at him strangely.

In Fang Yu's opinion, the other managers are all professionals with outstanding abilities in the same field of the industry.

He is just an undergraduate who graduated from an ordinary university. His academic qualifications are not as good as others, and his abilities are not necessarily as good as others.

His only advantage is that he has been working at Chayu since its inception, and he is also Xia Tian’s good brother.

Fang Yu felt that he was in this position now because of Xia Tian's consideration for their brotherhood.

If he and Xia Tian were just ordinary superiors and subordinates, he might not have the current treatment and such a high status.

Therefore, Fang Yu increasingly felt that what Yu Jia said was right: he would always just follow Xia Tian's ass.

In the end, Fang Yu was in great torment. After discussing with Lu Xi, he resolutely submitted his resignation report to Xia Tian.

He also cashed out all his shares in Chayu and used the money to start his own business.

At first Xia Tian was very surprised and tried to dissuade Fang Yu, but Fang Yu was very determined, so Xia Tian had to let him go.

However, before Fang Yu started his own business, Xia Tian solemnly told him not to touch the physical industry, otherwise he would lose everything.

Fang Yu knew Xia Tian's abilities and listened to him.

As expected, the following year, a global epidemic hit the world, the physical industry was hit hard, and many people went bankrupt.

Fang Yu was very fortunate that he founded a company.

At first, Fang Yu's company was getting better and better, but some accidents happened not long ago and he lost a lot of money.

at the moment.....

The company's cash flow has almost returned to zero.

If he had some money for working capital now, the company would definitely continue to develop steadily without any accidents.

But the problem is that the amount of money is really too large.

"Wan Tang, how much can the company borrow from the bank now?"

Wan Tang frowned, "Brother, we can no longer borrow money. We borrowed money from the bank to pay for the liquidated damages for those female internet celebrities. After paying it off, I'm afraid the maximum we can borrow is one or two million..."

One or two million?

Fang Yu smiled bitterly.

This is too far away.

Wan Tang also knew the current situation of Fang Yu and the company. He looked at Fang Yu and asked tentatively:

"Brother, how about... you go ask Brother Xia Tian to borrow some money? With the current scale of Tea Language, it would be nothing for Brother Xia Tian to lend our company some money for turnover."

"Wan Tang, do you know how much money the company is short of now?"

Wan Tang was stunned and shook his head.

Fang Yu made the number four with his hand.

Wan Tang was stunned for a moment.

"Four... Forty million?!"

"Yeah, do you think the relationship between people must be very good for him to lend me 40 million for cash flow?"

Fang Yu smiled bitterly.

After listening to this, Wan Tang also fell silent.

In fact, if it was six or seven years ago, when Fang Yu was short of so much money, maybe he really wouldn't think too much about it and would just ask Xia Tian directly.

Because Fang Yu knew very well that he just needed funds for turnover, and he could pay it back to Xia Tian 100%, and he could also pay it back according to the bank's interest.

But now they are no longer the young and high-spirited people they once were, and now everyone has their own family.

Fang Yu knew that 40 million was really nothing to Xia Tian right now.

Even if it doubles to 80 million, maybe Xia Tian can come up with it quickly.

Moreover, as long as he asked, Xia Tian would definitely lend it to him.

But what happens after borrowing it?

Nowadays, summer's identity has been exaggerated to an unattainable height.

Therefore, Fang Yu was very clear that from the day Xia Tian reached this height, he should have understood that Xia Tian might only have one chance in his life to think of the old love. In other words, Fang Yu will only have one chance to speak to him in his life.

As long as it's not excessive, Xia Tian will most likely not refuse and will agree very readily. But from then on, they will probably drift further and further apart until they become just nodding acquaintances.

so......

Fang Yu was in pain, he didn't want to go to that point with Xia Tian. Even if we take a step back and say that he must use this opportunity, he intends to use it to save his life, or for the sake of his family, let Xia Tian help them.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu sighed heavily.

But right now, it seems that there is no other way except to ask Xia Tian.

Fang Yu got a headache when he thought about how Luxi and Ye Ningyu’s “Yi Ye Chu Xia” was thriving and had opened nearly 200 branches across the country.

If he didn't make it this time, he would have nothing, and an insurmountable gap would exist between Luxi and him overnight.

But Fang Yu and Lu Xi planned to start preparing for pregnancy after the National Day this year...

"Wan Tang, please go out first. I will think of a solution."

"Brother...I've been with you for all these years and have saved up almost a hundred. If you need it, I'll go back and get the card!"

Wan Tang looked worried.

But the next second, Fang Yu kicked him while scolding him with a smile: "Did your brain get stuck in the door? My family is big and my wife is the big boss of Yiye Chuxia. Even if I am down and out, I won't ask you to give me money."

"Ahem, that's true, hehe."

Wan Tang was relieved to see that Fang Yu could still make a joke and left the office immediately.

But after he left, Fang Yu's face became sad again.

Yiyechuxia is certainly large in scale, but it is far from profitable.

In the end, after much thought, Fang Yu took the car keys and planned to go find Xia Tian.

......

Fang Yu rang the doorbell of Xia Tian's house.

When the door opened, a little girl with a ponytail stood in front of me.

She is like a flower just blooming in spring, delicate and full of vitality. Those eyes were big and bright, as if they were carved from the same mold as her mother's. Whenever she smiled, her eyes would bend into two little crescents, revealing endless innocence and happiness.

The nose is small and cute, and the mouth is slightly upturned, as if it is smiling all the time. Whenever she speaks, the dimples on her little face appear, making her look even sweeter and more lovely.

It can be said that she inherited all the good genes from her parents.

This is Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu’s eldest daughter, Xia Yuchan.

"Godfather, why are you here? Did you bring any candy for Yuchan~"

Xia Yuchan tilted her little face up and spoke in a baby voice.

Fang Yu picked her up with a smile and said, "Godfather doesn't dare to buy you candy in private. If your parents knew about this, they would beat me to death."

"My mother is very gentle, she won't hit my godfather... If my father hits you, I will hit him, don't be afraid, godfather!"

Fang Yu laughed “chuckle”.

Xia Tian’s daughter really inherited his personality. She is only three and a half years old, but she can already talk so much.

"Where's your father?"

"Dad is not at home. It's just me, Zimo and other aunts at home!"

Xia Yuchan pouted her little mouth as she spoke.

Fang Yu nodded.

Xia Zimo is the son of Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu, two years younger than Xia Yuchan. As for the auntie she mentioned, she was the nanny in Xia Tian’s family.

"Well, Yuchan, since your father is not here, godfather will leave first. Next time I come, I will secretly bring you some White Rabbit food."

"Hehe, thank you, godfather. Godfather, you have to come earlier, and bring my godmother with you. Every time my godmother kisses me, she will give me a White Rabbit!"

Fang Yu pinched Xia Yuchan's little face, handed her over to Xia Tian's nanny, and drove away.

Then he went to Xia Tian's company.

All the employees in the company knew Fang Yu and greeted him one after another.

Fang Yu walked all the way to Xia Tian's office, took a deep breath, and pushed open the office door.

It turned out that Xia Tian was not there, but Feng Niannian was in the office instead.

"Secretary Xiao Feng."

"Hey, Fang Yu! Are you looking for the boss? He's out discussing cooperation, and he probably won't be back for a while."

Feng Niannian was stunned and said to Fang Yu with a smile.

Fang Yu said "Oh" awkwardly. He had finally mustered up the courage to ask Xia Tian to borrow money, but after failing to find him twice, his courage was extinguished in an instant.

Or should we just forget it?

This is Fang Yu’s inner voice.

"Fang Yu, what do you want to talk to the boss about? I guess you came to the company to talk to him about work, right?"

Feng Niannian has been with Xia Tian for many years, and her ability to read people's expressions and deal with the ways of the world has become perfect.

I can tell at a glance Fang Yu’s intention of coming to the company.

Fang Yu was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to come up and chat with Xiaotian... Since he's not here, forget it, I'll make an appointment with him later."

After saying that, Fang Yu stood up and walked outside.

Feng Niannian looked at Fang Yu's back, frowned, then took out her phone and made a call.

........

Fang Yu sat alone at a barbecue stall in the night market, drinking sadly.

He no longer had the courage to ask Xia Tian for money.

"Tsk, why don't you invite me to drink? Are you just sitting here enjoying yourself?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the opposite side of Fang Yu.

He looked up in surprise and found that Xia Tian had sat opposite him without him noticing.

"Xiaotian, why are you here?"

"After you came to the company to see me in the afternoon, Feng Niannian called me and said that you came to the company to see me... Later, when I got home, I heard from my precious daughter that you also came to the house to see me, so I thought, you are sitting here."

Xia Tian said as he poured himself a glass of beer, drank it in one gulp, and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Xia Tian got straight to the point: "Something happened at the company, right?"

Fang Yu was startled, but it was fleeting. He concealed his inner emotions and smiled, "What can go wrong? Everything is going well. I am planning to get pregnant with Xiaolu by the end of the year."

Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Fang Yu, I remember I said a few years ago that I know what you fart when you take off your pants. Do you think lying to me will work?"

"You are the kind of person who can show your emotions on your face when something happens. When you came to the company to find me this afternoon, even Feng Niannian could tell something was wrong.

Before she called me, she had already asked someone to investigate the current situation of your company and learned that you were short of cash flow, so she called me to report it. ”

Fang Yu opened his mouth and stared at Xia Tian blankly.

After a long while, he lowered his head: "Xiaotian, I did want to borrow money from you, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Xia Tian threw a bank card to Fang Yu.

"Stop talking nonsense. There is 60 million in this card, which is enough for you to use for turnover. In addition, ask the anchors of your company to contact the relevant departments of Chayu. Chayu is now planning to use the short video platform to sell goods."

"Xiaotian, I won't lend you this money!"

Xia Tian kicked Fang Yu and said, "You have to borrow this money!"

"????"

Fang Yu was confused. How could someone be forced to borrow money?

He refused again: "No, I definitely won't lend it to you. I will find a way myself."

"Please, Brother Yu, lend it to me quickly..."

"????"

"If you don't make it through this, you and Xiaolu will have to postpone your plans for pregnancy. You've been hearing my daughter calling you godfather for so long, damn... you must be so happy, right? Hurry up and give birth to a son. I want to hear your son calling me godfather, too!"

Xia Tian laughed and scolded.

Fang Yu was stunned. He could not see any dissatisfaction on Xia Tian's face at all.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

Xia Tian took a sip of wine and said earnestly:

"You must have been reading some rubbish online again, right? Stop being so sentimental. I'm just asking for money, but you're being so hypocritical like a woman... Anyway, I'm saying this, if you don't lend me the money, we won't know each other anymore!"

"Okay, okay, I'll lend it to you, please. This is the first time I've seen someone begging someone to lend him money. It's really weird. Fuck!"

Fang Yu also laughed.

But the voice was clearly a little hoarse.

Xia Tian saw this and hugged Fang Yu directly:

"I know why you left Chayu, so I didn't try to stop you at first... But you have a problem now. If you still don't let me help you, then you really don't treat me as a brother."

Fang Yu nodded heavily with a sour look:

"Xiaotian, when we die, let's keep our graves closer so we can hang out together at night."

Xia Tian's face changed:

"Fuck you, go wherever you want... I'm going to be buried with Xiaoye, why are you joining in the fun?"

......
