I gently pushed open the bedroom door and the room was pitch black.
Sun Hao raised his hand and turned on the switch on the wall, and the light came on.
Zhou Xiaoyu sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and gently wiped her tears.
Sun Hao walked over, sat down next to the other person, and put his arm around the other person's shoulders.
"sorry."
"If you don't like me working as a waiter in a restaurant, I'll quit tomorrow."
"Don't be angry, okay?"
Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head.
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself."
Sun Hao comforted softly.
"Don't be angry. It's all because of me."
"It's all my fault! I'm so useless. I can't even give my girlfriend a happy life."
"It's been several years since we graduated, but I still have to let you stay with me in such an old, shabby rental house. I feel sorry for you."
Zhou Xiaoyu looked up.
"I never looked down on you because of this."
"I'm just angry about our current living conditions. Everyone else's life is so good, but it's getting harder and harder for the two of us."
"I understand. My wife is not like that."
Sun Hao patted the other person's arm gently.
"But as a man, I still feel a little embarrassed."
"Wife, I hate my current job. I submit my resume every day, but...it's not easy to find a good job."
"Don't worry, let me think of a solution."
"We have saved a little money now, right? Let's save until the end of the year and see how much we still need. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my family to help me borrow some money."
Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head: "How can your family help? Even if your parents want to borrow money, they can't borrow much."
"Then I have to borrow money. At worst, I can risk my reputation and ask my friends around me to lend me money."
"Wife, listen to me, we won't go back to our hometown."
"It's your dream to stay in a big city. Let's not give up halfway."
"You said that for the sake of the next generation, for our children, you must buy a house in a big city no matter how hard or tiring it is."
Zhou Xiaoyu gently leaned her head on Sun Hao's shoulder.
"Can you borrow it? We are still a long way from being old."
Sun Hao smiled and said, "You have to believe in your husband's character."
"If nothing else, my roommates in college would definitely lend it to me."
"Ma Xiaoshuai, Luo Wenjie, and Lao Chen... they are all rich now. When the time comes, I will ask them to lend me some money, and they should give it to me."
Zhou Xiaoyu muttered somewhat frustratedly: "I really shouldn't have asked you to accompany me to Shanghai."
"Look at your students. They all stayed in Yunhai because of Chen Fan. They are all rich now."
Sun Hao smiled and joked: "What? Do you regret it?"
“That’s what it is.”
Sun Hao shook his head: "It's different for each other. When they were in college, the three of them were the closest triangle."
"So you still want to borrow money from them?"
Sun Hao smiled bitterly: "You don't understand male friendship."
"No matter how good buddies are, they are bound to be close or distant. They are part of the iron triangle, but it does not affect the brotherhood between us."
"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that Lao Chen will definitely lend me the money. He was very loyal when we were in school."
"How long has it been since you last contacted them?"
Sun Hao smiled bitterly: "It's been a long time."
"The main reason is that we are not in the same city, and I am busy at work, so I really don't know what to say."
"Besides, Mr. Chen is now a big boss. He manages such a big company and is very busy. I dare not disturb him rashly."
Zhou Xiaoyu opened her mouth, originally wanting to talk about meeting Chen Fan in the afternoon.
But after thinking about it, I finally held it back.
She was afraid that Sun Hao would misunderstand and think that she was forcing him to borrow money from Chen Fan.
"You're not going to cry anymore?"
"I'm hungry."
"Okay. Let's go eat now."
"Carry me over there."
"no problem."
Sun Hao smiled and picked up his girlfriend from the bed.
After returning to the living room, Sun Hao first took out the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.
"It consumes a lot of electricity." Zhou Xiaoyu pouted.
"It's okay. My wife is about to catch a cold, and I can't turn on the air conditioner."
"Besides, this isn't the way to save money."
Sitting back down, Sun Hao glanced at the food and cakes he had brought back from traveling on the table.
"So... how about I do it?"
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Xiaoyu glared, "I still want to eat. It would be a shame to miss it."
"I don't mind you bringing back leftovers from the restaurant. I'm just afraid that if you stay in one place for too long, you'll lose the motivation to strive for success."
Sun Hao smiled and shook his head: "No. For you, I must keep the momentum."
Sun Hao suddenly took out a few birthday candles from his pocket like a magician.
"Dangdangdang, what is this?"
"Ah!" Zhou Xiaoyu looked delighted.
"Put it in for me now."
Seeing his girlfriend's happy face, Sun Hao felt a little heartbroken.
It was clearly a cake that someone else had left over, but my girlfriend was so satisfied.
If I don't give this kind of girl happiness. What kind of man is he?
He made up his mind secretly.
No matter what, I have to get the money for the down payment together this year.
If it really doesn't work, I'll risk my old face and ask 땢学 for money.
As for Lao Chen...
Just now, I patted my chest in front of my girlfriend to assure her that borrowing money was no problem at all. That was purely a matter of face for the man.
In fact, Sun Hao didn't have much confidence if he really wanted to borrow money from Lao Chen.
During college, Lao Chen, Ma Xiaoshuai, and Luo Wenjie were considered the iron triangle.
Although my relationship with them is pretty good, it's not good enough for me to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars right away.
Especially since Lao Chen has already become the big boss, the gap between them is too big, both in identity and status.
He really couldn't guarantee that Old Chen was still the same Old Chen as before, and whether he would still recognize him as his old student.
…
The negotiations went smoothly and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
However, there is still some room for wrangling over the issue of investment funds.
Tomato TV hopes that Ruofan Group will invest 3 billion to purchase 18% of the shares of the TV station.
However, the negotiation team brought by Chen Fan believed that the TV station was not worth the price. Especially when the TV station is facing transformation and there are competitors like Mango TV, with internal and external troubles, the TV station should be more anxious than Ruofan Group.
After listening to the analysis report of the negotiation team, Chen Fan finally gave a bottom line.
Strive to obtain 20% of the TV station's shares for 2.5 billion.
After talking with Zhou Wangchao and others next door, Chen Fan got up and went back to his room upstairs.
Su Ruochu was on the phone in the room. When she saw Chen Fan coming back, she said a few simple words to the person on the other end of the phone and hung up.
"You're back, are you done with your work?"
"Yeah. Who were you talking to just now?"
Su Ruochu was embarrassed: "Didn't you tell me to let me look at houses? I went to several districts and the owners asked me to leave contact information. But I didn't expect that when I came back, they were still calling one by one."
Chen Fan smiled, "These real estate consultants who sell houses are persistent, otherwise why do you think houses are so easy to sell now?"
"By the way, who has no photo?"
Su Ruochu shook her head and brought a glass of water to Chen Fan.
"You weren't here, so I didn't dare to make a decision, so I just wandered around."
Chen Fan was happy. "Didn't I tell you? If you like it, buy it."
"Well, I won't have to go with you to negotiate tomorrow. Let your parents rest in the hotel and walk around. I'll take you to see the house."
