The old man selling fried dough twists rode away on his bike, and Tong Jiaxin could not catch up with him, so he had to return empty-handed.
Wei Zhuzhu saw him return empty-handed, raised her eyebrows and said: "Didn't you say you were going to buy some? Where are the fried dough twists?"
Tong Jiaxin rolled his eyes and said: "What's so delicious about Jinshi fried dough twists? They're not as delicious as my sister's."
Wei Zhuzhu immediately understood that he didn't buy anything!
"If Sister Xuelu has time to make fried dough twists, why do I need to go out to buy them? Why did you show off just now when you didn't want to buy them? You are such an annoying person!"
Tong Jiaxin stuck out his neck and said unconvincedly
, "Why am I annoying? It's just fried dough twists, I'll compensate you!" "No, thank you!" Wei Zhuzhu was too lazy to argue with him, so she turned to Xiao Mianmian and said, "I'll accept the postcard. I have to go back to study. I'll treat you to something delicious next time."
Little Yanyan rushed out of the house: "Aunt Zhuzhu, everyone who listens gets a share. Yanyan wants to eat something delicious too."
The little guy tilted his chubby face, looked at her with black grape-like eyes, and smiled with his eyebrows crooked, like a little kitten asking for food.
Wei Zhuzhu's heart was touched at once, and she pinched the chubby little boy's chubby face: "Okay, auntie will come over after school to take you to eat delicious food."
Xiao Yanyan smiled even more brilliantly: "Auntie Zhuzhu is the most beautiful."
Wei Zhuzhu was flattered and left with a satisfied smile holding the postcard.
Tong Jiaxin's eyes followed her all the time until her figure disappeared at the door, and he withdrew his eyes embarrassedly.
Tong Xuelu saw this scene and sighed in her heart. He
said before that he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and he made a wish to the Bodhisattva when he was ten years old, but he didn't expect that he would be tempted so quickly.
Sure enough, a man's mouth is a lie.
But he disliked Zhuzhu so much before, and you can imagine how exciting it will be to chase his wife to the crematorium in the future.
But in this way, Tong Jiaxin's life trajectory will be completely different from that of his previous life. I don't know if he will meet his wife in the future.
If he does, who will he choose between Wei Zhuzhu and his wife in the previous life?
Of course, it is too early to think about this question now. Both of them are still young. Let's talk about it when they meet in the future.
While talking, Xiao Jiaming came in from outside, holding a big watermelon in his hands. When he saw Tong Xulu, he paused and shouted, "Sister, are you home?"
Tong Xulu looked up and saw that Xiao Jiaming had a short haircut, which made his profile deep and handsome, broad shoulders and thin waist, and straight and slender legs. He is indeed a celebrity in Tsinghua University.
Since he entered college, I heard that many girls in the school took the initiative to pursue him, but he was focused on studying and making money, and he had not been in a relationship for four years.
Tong Xuelu suspected that the person who was destined to be alone in the future was not Tong Jiaxin, but Xiao Jiaming.
Thinking of this, she came to her senses: "You brothers and sisters rarely go home, so I naturally have to come back, otherwise I don't know when I can see you next time."
Xiao Jiaming walked in with a watermelon, rinsed the watermelon under the tap, and then put it in the refrigerator to cool.
"Sister, I have something to discuss with you."
Standing in front of her 1.85-meter-tall brother, Tong Xuelu felt for the first time that she was a little short: "What is it?"
Xiao Jiaming: "Sister, I want to borrow some money from you to start a business in Shenzhen. I will pay you back double in the future!"
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Jiaming stood up straight with confidence in his eyes: "I want to work in communications."
Good guy!
As expected of a person who was called a business genius in his previous life, he had already keenly grasped the booming development of the communications industry in the future.
In the future industries, communications, the Internet and real estate will develop very rapidly, but communications will develop first.
Last year, the first paging station was opened in Shanghai, and a small number of people began to use pagers.
When pagers came out, she bought one for herself and Wen Rugui. She also wanted to buy one for her two grandfathers and her uncle, but they all said they didn't want one, saying they didn't need one.
Indeed, the current pagers can only display numbers and letters, that is, you can only see the other party's caller and name, and other information cannot be transmitted. It can only be explained through the phone, and its function is very limited.
Tong Xuelu: "This industry is good. How much do you want to borrow?"
"Ten thousand." After saying that, he seemed to think he had said too much, and immediately changed his words, "If it's not that much, five thousand will be fine."
Tong Xuelu: "I'll give you thirty thousand. You don't have to pay me back double. It's considered as my early investment in your company."
Xiao Jiaming knew that his sister would definitely support him, but he didn't expect his sister to trust him so much: "Sister, aren't you afraid that I will lose money?"
Tong Xuelu thought to herself, even if you lose money for a while, you will make it back a hundred or a thousand times in the future. You are not called a business genius for nothing.
She patted his shoulder and said, "You have been very stable since you were young. I am very optimistic about you. You go to my company tomorrow and I will go to the bank with you to transfer the money to you."
Xiao Jiaming looked at his sister excitedly, his eyes red, "Thank you, sister, I will never let you down!"
30,000 yuan!
Now the number of households with 10,000 yuan in Beijing is less than 1% of the population, and many people can't earn 30,000 yuan in their lifetime!
He knew that it would be extremely difficult for his sister to take out such a large amount of money, but she gave him 30,000 yuan without blinking an eye.
How could he not be moved?
"When are you going to Shenzhen? Have you told your grandfather about this?"
Tong Xuelu looked at his red and excited eyes and couldn't help but think of the way he was defensive against her when they first met. She didn't expect that eight years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Time flies so fast.
Xiao Jiaming shook his head: "I haven't told grandpa yet. I'll tell him later that I plan to go there as soon as I graduate."
That is two months later.
Xiao Jiaming skipped two grades in his studies, and junior high school and high school were both two-year programs at that time, so he was only fifteen years old when he was admitted to university.
Now he is only nineteen years old when he is about to graduate.
Tong Xulu thought about it, and suddenly said casually: "Grandpa and I are worried about you going to such a far place alone. Tomorrow I will ask someone to buy you a pager. Don't refuse it in a hurry. With this thing on you, it will be convenient for us to find you."
"It's just that this pager can only display numbers, which is not very convenient. If it can display text, it would be even better. It would be more convenient to contact you."
Xiao Jiaming was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up: "Sister, if I develop a pager that can display text, will more people use it?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course, if the pager can display text, it would be very convenient." If
it can only display the phone number, sometimes you may not be able to find the phone number immediately to call back the other party, but if it can display text, at least you can know why the other party is looking for you.
She remembered that after the Chinese character pager appeared, the paging market began to flourish and the competition was very fierce. It was not until the mobile phone appeared in the 1990s that the paging market was defeated.
If Xiao Jiaming could seize this opportunity to develop a Chinese pager, he could earn his first pot of gold, and a lot of it.
Xiao Jiaming looked even more excited than before, muttering a few words on the text pager: "Sister, I'm going back to my room first, thank you!"
After dinner, Xiao Jiaming told his grandfather about his plan.
Although Commander Xiao was reluctant to let his grandson go to such a far place alone, it was a good thing for young people to work hard, so he finally agreed.
"Your sister trusts you so much that she gave you 30,000 yuan without blinking an eye. You must remember this kindness in your heart. No matter whether you have made achievements in the future or not, you must not forget this kindness!"
Xiao Jiaming nodded heavily: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely repay my sister in the future."
Even if his sister didn't lend him money this time, he still thanked her in his heart.
If she hadn't appeared and raised the three siblings, they wouldn't know what would happen to them now.
Commander Xiao nodded with satisfaction. He was most happy to see that his grandchildren had a good relationship.
**
The next day, Xiao Jiaming and his sister went to the company together.
Tong Xuelu asked the finance department to move 30,000 yuan out of the company's working capital.
When the finance department found out that she was going to transfer 30,000 yuan to her brother as a start-up fund, they were shocked and envious. Why didn't she have such a good sister?
30,000 yuan was a large sum of money in those days, and since there was no online banking, she could only go to the bank with Xiao Jiaming to handle it.
As soon as she left, Jiang Baihui came to her company by herself.
Jiang Baihui was wearing flared jeans and a belly-baring top today. As soon as she entered the company, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The receptionist came forward with a smile: "Ma'am, are you here to look for someone, or to cooperate with our company?"
Jiang Baihui took off her sunglasses and looked around: "I'm a close friend of your Chairman Tong. Is your Chairman Tong in the office?"
The receptionist shook her head and became more respectful: "No, Chairman Tong and her brother went to the bank to do business. Would you like to sit in the reception room first?"
Jiang Baihui looked around and nodded: "Okay."
Although Tong Xulu's company cannot be compared with many large foreign companies, it is much better than she had imagined before she came. The decoration is simple but not shabby, giving people a very fashionable feeling.
Seeing her looking around, the receptionist puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Do you think our company's decoration design is special and different? This is designed by our President Tong himself. Many customers who come here say that our company's decoration is particularly grand, even customers from Hong Kong say so."
Jiang Baihui retracted her gaze and raised her eyebrows: "Does your company cooperate with people from Hong Kong?"
The receptionist nodded proudly again: "Yes, our President Tong personally took a big order of 300,000 from a boss in Hong Kong, and it is a long-term cooperation. Our President Tong is not only beautiful, but also very capable. She is the person I admire most since I was a child!"
Jiang Baihui twitched her lips and said nothing more.
The receptionist took her to the reception room, poured her tea, brought her candies for guests, and then left.
Jiang Baihui sat for a while, and suddenly she felt a little urgent, so
she stood up and went to the bathroom. When she arrived at the bathroom, she couldn't help but sigh.
In this era, many people don't have bathrooms at home, and the public bathrooms outside are in very poor conditions. Not only are they smelly, but there are also dirty things everywhere. Sometimes you can't even step down.
But the bathrooms in Tong Xuelu's restaurant and company are very well built, clean and advanced. The squat toilets are imported from abroad. The design inside is even more beautiful than many people's homes, and there is a fragrance.
This is also one of the reasons why many people are willing to spend more money to eat at the Green Tea Restaurant. It is really too grand and fashionable, which is something other restaurants can't do.
Jiang Baihui was not unfamiliar with such a toilet. She had used it in Germany and was very uncomfortable after returning.
She did not expect to use it again in Tong Xuelu's company, which made her feel indescribable.
After using the toilet, she was about to open the door and go out when she heard footsteps and voices coming from outside.
"Director Tong is so generous to her brother. She actually gave him 30,000 yuan at once. I'm so jealous. Why don't I have a sister like her?"
"30,000 yuan! Oh my God, isn't Director Tong afraid that her brother will lose money in business?"
"Director Tong has such a good eye. When have you ever seen her fail in investment?"
"That's right. Director Tong is really my role model. I really admire her!"
"Same person, different fate. Director Tong is beautiful, has a strong family background, has a handsome husband who is very considerate to her, and has two beautiful and well-behaved children. Such a life is simply too perfect!"
Jiang Baihui couldn't help but pinch her hands. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart became more and more intense.
She walked out of the bathroom after the two people outside left.
After waiting in the living room for half an hour, Tong Xuelu came back from the bank.
Seeing Jiang Baihui, she was startled: "Baihui, why are you here?"
Jiang Baihui stood up with a smile: "I wanted to go to your house directly this afternoon, but I was bored at home, so I thought of coming to your company to have a look. Xuelu, you are really amazing. Your company seems to be developing very well."
Tong Xuelu said modestly: "This is also the result of everyone's hard work. I have a group of capable and hardworking employees. If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't be able to do so well."
As they talked, they went to Tong Xuelu's office.
Entering Tong Xuelu's office, Jiang Baihui took a look and her eyes flashed with surprise.
Tong Xuelu's office is very large. The design is the same as the outside. The design is simple, clear and grand. There are no luxurious antique decorations. But compared with those vulgar things, this office is more pleasing to the eye.
"Sit down. What would you like to drink?"
"Whatever."
Tong Xuelu called the front desk and asked her to send in two bottles of high orange soda and two cans of Jianlibao.
These two drinks are the most popular and expensive at the moment.
As soon as the front desk sent the drinks, Deng Hong came over with two documents for Tong Xuelu to sign.
Seeing Jiang Baihui, Deng Hong just nodded: "Director Tong, you need to review and sign these two documents. One is from Da Ming Company in Shenzhen, and the other is from Boss Zhang in Hong Kong. They both want to increase the order."
Tong Xuelu raised an eyebrow: "Boss Zhang placed another order so soon? We just sent the first batch of goods."
Deng Hong nodded: "Yes, they received the goods yesterday and placed an order today. This is an affirmation of our products."
Tong Xuelu scanned the contract, picked up a pen and signed her name on it: "Okay, you arrange the order, and make sure to check the quality."
"Yes, Mr. Tong."
Deng Hong picked up the contract and turned to Jiang Baihui as he left, "Hello, Comrade Jiang, Danhong will be back from a business trip the day after tomorrow. You can come to our house when you are free."
Jiang Baihui smiled and nodded, "Okay, I haven't seen Sister Danhong for a long time, and I miss her very much."
After a few pleasantries, Deng Hong went out to do some work.
The door of the office was closed.
Jiang Baihui retracted her gaze and smiled casually: "Speaking of which, Sister Danhong's husband has been working for you for four years. I have nothing to do at home now. How about I come to work in your company? I wonder if you are willing to hire me?"
Tong Xuelu was stunned for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You are the first batch of college students who resumed the college entrance examination, and you have four years of work experience abroad. It is a waste of talent to come to my company to work. I can't afford it!"
Hearing this, Jiang Baihui felt a little better: "You just don't want to hire me. By the way, I thought of a good entrepreneurial project these two days. It is to make beauty products. Let's work together!"
Tong Xuelu helped her open the lid of the Gaocheng soda, and then pretended to be frightened: "No, please let me go. I'm busy every day now. Where do I have time to do other things?"
"Rugui and the two children have opinions about me now, saying that I am so busy every day, so I dare not expand other businesses. Beauty products are a very good project. With your ability, you can do it alone!"
Even the best friends will definitely have conflicts when doing business together, so she has always avoided doing business with friends.
She did not intervene in the cooperation with the induction cooker from beginning to end, and left everything to Su Yueshen to take care of. They just waited for the dividends.
As for Deng Hong, he came when she needed help the most, and Deng Hong was a very stable person, but he didn't have too much ambition. He was very suitable to be a manager to help her manage the company.
But Jiang Baihui couldn't do it.
Jiang Baihui was capable, but she had a strong character. She would not condescend to anyone. If they worked together, conflicts would definitely arise.
Besides, she is really busy now and doesn't want to develop other business areas. Money will never run out, and she doesn't need to make herself so tired.
Jiang Baihui's smile froze for a moment: "If you don't have time, then you can invest, and I will take care of the rest."
Tong Xuelu frowned slightly, her eyes fell on her belly: "Your belly will get bigger and bigger in the future, where will you have time to open a management company? Besides, my company's working capital is not very sufficient now, I'm really sorry."
If it was a tactful refusal just now, Jiang Baihui could still pretend not to understand, but this time Tong Xuelu refused clearly, and she couldn't play dumb anymore.
The office was quiet for a few seconds.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Jiang Baihui could no longer maintain the smile on her face: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I overestimated my own abilities."
Tong Xulu seemed not to notice that she was angry, and said with a smile: "If you say that again, I will think you are angry with me. I refuse you, firstly, I am really too busy, and secondly, I think the most important thing for you now is to take care of the baby. It won't be too late to work hard on your career after giving birth to the baby."
"Besides, your Tianyi is so good to you. If he knew that you were pregnant and still wanted to work hard, aren't you afraid that he would feel bad?"
The latter words made Jiang Baihui feel a little more comfortable. She took the opportunity to save face and said: "Tianyi really doesn't want me to be so tired. At home, he will help me even drink a glass of water. I think starting a business is boring. If he knew, he would definitely not agree."
"That's it." Tong Xulu continued to "compliment", "Besides, your Tianyi is so amazing, and the base leaders value him so much. Your family doesn't need your little money, so you can just stay at home and take care of the baby."
Jiang Baihui puffed out her chest: "The leaders of the base, the school, and the leaders of the relevant national departments all value Tianyi. Tianyi's tuition and living expenses for four years abroad are all paid by the state."
"This time when I came back, a leader told Tianyi that he would be arranged to join the missile department and trained as the vice-president!"
Tong Xuelu smiled: "That's because Comrade Liang is capable, the leader values him so much."
Jiang Baihui smiled with her red lips: "Yes, Tianyi is still very capable in this area. It's a pity that Professor Wen is not very lucky. He worked in the base for so many years before being promoted to the position of director. Unexpectedly, he fell ill within a year. Now he has to start all over again. It's such a pity."
Tong Xuelu raised her eyes and glanced at her, feeling uncomfortable in her heart: "It's not a pity. I just hope he is healthy. Nothing else matters."
She can praise her own husband, but what about stepping on Wen Rugui?
Jiang Baihui smiled and said, "Physical health is important, but position is equally important. This is an affirmation of a person's ability, don't you think?"
Tong Xuelu glanced at her again, without commenting.
She felt that Jiang Baihui had really changed, but she didn't find it strange at all.
People's minds are changeable, not to mention that they have been abroad for a few years. Even if they haven't gone abroad, many people's mentality will gradually change after graduation and work, and they are not as simple as when they were in school.
She didn't feel bad either. She has always taken the fate between people lightly. If they get along, they get along. If they don't get along, forget it.
Then the two chatted about other things for a while, and Tong Xuelu went home with her to get the diapers for the dragon and phoenix twins for her.
When they returned to the courtyard, the twins were taken out to play by Grandpa Wen, Commander Xiao, and Uncle Zong. Jiang Baihui didn't see them and kept saying she was sorry.
Tong Xuelu didn't feel sorry at all. She gave her a diaper, and then, on the pretext that something happened at the company, she sent her to the bus, and the two separated.
**
Jiang Baihui didn't think she was targeting Tong Xuelu intentionally.
It's just that she went abroad for four years, and now she has returned to China, except for Liang Tianyi, she has nothing.
But Tong Xuelu has both children and opened so many companies, making a lot of money.
The contrast is too terrible, and it is normal for her to feel uncomfortable and jealous.
Fortunately, there is one thing that makes her save face, that is, her man is more useful than Tong Xuelu's man.
Wen Rugui has worked at the base for more than ten years and is still an ordinary scientific researcher. However, her husband Liang Tianyi is valued and trained by the leaders as soon as he goes to the base.
Thinking of this, she suddenly missed Liang Tianyi.
So she hurried home and called the base.
The call was quickly connected, but Liang Tianyi sounded very frustrated.
Jiang Baihui hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
Liang Tianyi hesitated and said, "The leaders of the base arranged for me to be an ordinary scientific researcher."
Jiang Baihui's voice suddenly rose by several decibels, sounding very sharp: "What? Didn't they say before that they would arrange you to be a scientific research expert? And they would train you to be a leader, how come you suddenly become an ordinary scientific researcher?"
There is a big difference between ordinary scientific researchers and scientific research experts. Not only are there differences in status and treatment, but more importantly, it has a great impact on future promotions.
Ordinary scientific researchers cannot get in touch with important projects, and it is difficult to achieve results. They can only gain experience bit by bit, just like factory workers.
Gaining experience is the most torturous. Not only do you not know when you will be able to work hard, but you also have to compete with others.
But scientific research experts can be responsible for important projects, and it is easy to achieve results. Once you achieve results, you will be valued by national leaders, and promotion will not be difficult.
The leader clearly said that he would focus on training Liang Tianyi, saying that as long as he achieves results, he is likely to become the youngest vice president.
If Liang Tianyi becomes the vice president, she will be able to hold her head high in front of Tong Xuelu in the future.
But now all this has turned into bubbles...
Liang Tianyi said in a muffled voice: "I don't know what happened, I won't say it, I have to go to work."
Jiang Baihui wanted to ask more, but Liang Tianyi had already hung up the phone.
The busy tone kept coming from the other end of the phone.
She held the phone and sat down on the sofa.
Suddenly, she thought of herself mocking Wen Rugui's incompetence in Tong Xulu's office, and her face suddenly became hot.
It was as if she was slapped in the face.
It hurts so much.
