Shen Shi's words were very subtle. In fact, based on their wages in the decoration industry, even if they saved every penny without eating or drinking, it would take them more than ten years to save 90,000 yuan.
"Who knows? Let's just muddle through first," Zhang Mingyuan said nonchalantly.
Chen opened his mouth as if to refute, but couldn't say anything. "What else can I do? Is there a better way?"
His face also turned ashen, and the two of them walked toward the company with their heads down.
Then another bad thing happened: the owner of the renovation company they worked for sold the company due to cash flow problems.
The sudden change of boss brought the risk of unemployment, and Shen Shi and Zhang Mingyuan were very unfortunate, becoming the first batch of employees to be laid off.
Their already impoverished lives were made even more difficult.
Just when things seemed hopeless, Zhang Mingyuan came up with a bold idea: "We've been looking for a good job for days, so why don't we start our own business?"
After hearing this, Shen Shi thought he had gone mad.
"Start a business? We don't even have three thousand yuan between us, how can we start a business?"
Thinking that Zhang Mingyuan was just acting on a whim, Chen Shi dialed another recruitment number while talking.
"Hello, are you hiring salespeople? Could you tell me more details?"
Before he could finish speaking, his phone was snatched away. Zhang Mingyuan shouted excitedly, "We're not going to look for jobs anymore! Let's start a business! I don't believe we can't make it!"
Even now, Shen Shi still remembers the look in Zhang Mingyuan's eyes back then, as if he were a gambler making a last-ditch effort.
Under that crazed gaze, Shen Shi inexplicably agreed.
Let's give it a try! Anyway, there's nothing left to lose, he thought.
The start of the business was very difficult. Due to insufficient funds, the two could only afford very limited tools and could only take on the simplest jobs.
However, the most critical problem is the lack of channels.
But Zhang Mingyuan resolved all these problems one by one. Shen Shi felt that he was simply a born businessman. For example, he could boast without thinking and knew how to win people's hearts.
Compared to Zhang Mingyuan's smoothness, Shen Shi's presence is more important; his cautious nature always helps to hold the company back at crucial moments.
The two worked together seamlessly, and their business gradually grew bigger and bigger.
A year later, the company "Hangyang Decoration" was established.
At that time, Shen was thirty-two years old, neither young nor old.
After achieving great success, Shen Shi also brought Shen Yueyue to Shanghai.
We consulted the most authoritative experts, but my daughter still showed no signs of improvement and became even more distant.
However, an event occurred that left Shen Shi with no time to attend to these matters.
He unexpectedly met a girl named Mu Xiaoyu, who was a new receptionist at his company. She had just graduated from university and was sweet-looking and lively.
What's worse, this girl looks about five points like Ji Beiqing.
Shen Shi couldn't help but be moved, and at his special instruction, Mu Xiaoyu became Shen Shi's assistant.
Shen Shi made no attempt to hide his interest in Mu Xiaoyu.
After a few days of showing concern and care, the whole company knew that President Shen had feelings for his assistant.
Mu Xiaoyu, who had just graduated from university, naturally looked down on Shen Shi, who was ten years older than her, not to mention that he was fat.
However, the fact that her boss, Shen, liked her earned her a lot of envious glances and greatly satisfied her vanity.
Mu Xiaoyu naturally began to have an ambiguous relationship with Shen Shi.
When he feels he has a chance, he immediately launches a full-scale offensive, hoping to win the heart of the beauty.
The two became very close, but to Shen Shi's surprise, Mu Xiaoyu actually had a fiancé.
Unlike Mu Xiaoyu, who is a college student, Mu Xiaoyu's fiancé did not even graduate from elementary school.
The reason the two got engaged was because of each other's grandfather, who had saved Mu Xiaoyu's grandfather.
Was this marriage hastily arranged out of a desire to repay a debt of gratitude?
If she disliked Shen Shi, then Mu Xiaoyu felt extreme disgust towards her fiancé.
She dreamed of escaping that poor little mountain village, and that's why she kept it all a secret.
For Shen Shi, who was already married, this was a trivial matter.
The tragic thing is that when he was having an affair with Mu Xiaoyu, her fiancé, who came to visit her, discovered it.
This man was a petty hoodlum with little education, and he stubbornly believed that Mu Xiaoyu had cheated on him.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he rushed forward.
"Go to hell!"
The intruder had a ferocious and terrifying face. He stabbed him in the body with a knife, and blood gushed out. He fell straight down.
Fortunately, bystanders called an ambulance, and since no vital organs were punctured, he was not seriously injured and was discharged from the hospital after half a month of rest.
Mu Xiaoyu's fiancé was sentenced to five years in prison for intentional assault.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Shi was not angry, after all, Mu Xiaoyu was also a victim.
Shen Shi even regarded this injury as a badge of honor. Surely Mu Xiaoyu couldn't refuse this time, right? He thought smugly.
"Brother Shen, I've caused you so much harm, I'm too ashamed to stay at the company."
This was Mu Xiaoyu's response to Shen Shi. Sensing his increasing pressure, she resolutely resigned.
Frustrated by the series of setbacks, Shen Shi angrily approved Mu Xiaoyu's resignation.
But with Mu Xiaoyu's departure, Shen Shi always felt that something was missing.
No! It should be that with Ji Beiqing gone, but with Mu Xiaoyu by his side, he could still fool himself.
Now even this facade has been destroyed by his own hands.
Ji Beiqing and Mu Xiaoyu's faces alternated in his mind, and he began to feel regret.
