Back to the Years When My Father Was in School

Shen Kuo brought Zhong Kai to the company. He didn't give him a position at the beginning, but asked him to study with the director of the marketing department and get familiar with the business first.

As a director of the company, Ye Jiaqi was quite dissatisfied with Shen Kuo's nepotism, and even raised it publicly on the company's board of directors several times to challenge Shen Kuo's authority.

In some respects, Shen Kuo is also arbitrary. He would never ask others for advice. That would be too inefficient.

"Do I want to be nepotism? You don't need your approval." In the office, he looked at Ye Jiaqi and said every word: "Do your own job."

"Shen Kuo, you are quite arrogant." Ye Jiaqi put his hands on the table and said coldly: "Don't forget, we made the Star Company together. I won't just watch you ruin it."

Shen Kuo also slowly got up and looked at his hazel eyes: "I have my own judgment on this matter."

"Your judgment is to let a guy who has never gone to college take charge of our customers?" Ye Jiaqi said mockingly, "Did he graduate from junior high school?"

"Ye Jiaqi, education does not mean everything. You have a background of studying abroad, but what did you splash on the face of President Li of Chaoyang Group last week? You caused us to lose a major customer. This matter requires me to come. Remind you."

Ye Jiaqi rubbed his nose and said in a whisper, "It's that guy who is too much..."

"I don't need you to make a moral evaluation of our customers." Shen Kuo said calmly: "You have the arrogance of a scholar and can't understand all the ugly things in society, but Zhong Kai is different from you. He was very early When dealing with all kinds of people in society, what you can't do does not mean that they can't do it. Ye Jiaqi, this society is not as good as you think."

Ye Jiaqi snorted coldly: "Okay, Shen Kuo, when giving a speech, the boss has become more and more stylish."

Shen Kuo responded neither humble nor arrogant: "I was your boss."

Ye Jiaqi left the office angrily. Not long after Zhong Kai walked in, feeling a little nervous: "Brother Shen, if I cause you trouble here, then I...or I'll go back and open a shop."

Shen Kuo raised his head and glanced at him impatiently: "Just give me a good stay."

"With my degree, I don’t or don’t match up well with you. Staying in a technology company like yours is really a bit..."

"You don't need you for technical matters. I'm looking for you. I have my own arrangements."

It's not because Zhong Kai is his brother. The fledgling college students in the marketing department, like Ye Jiaqi, can't let go of arrogance and dignity. There are some things they can't do, but Zhong Kai can do it.

Shen Kuo looked at Zhong Kai and said in a deep voice: "If you can't do it, you will work hard. If you work hard or you can't do it, you will do your best not to let me really carry the cronyism."

Zhong Kai's heart trembled suddenly, and a flow of heat surged into his heart, and he nodded heavily.

......

It was during that time that the company had a lot of problems. Ye Jiaqi and Liang Ting were going crazy. All the projects discussed before were put on hold because of the loss of customers. The latest chat function was also due to bank loans. The application was rejected and forced offline.

Obviously, someone is making trouble behind this.

Their company has just been established, but its foundation is not stable. How can it stand up to Lu's strong capital.

Within two weeks in a blink of an eye, the mountains and rivers have been exhausted, precarious.

At this critical juncture, Zhong Kai's abilities became apparent. He went to the bank every day, accompany the bank manager to dinner and sing for entertainment... What these college students disdain to do, Zhong Kai should take care of it, nodding and bowing to accompany the smiling face.

Unexpectedly... he actually got a few loans.

Although the amount of money is in vain, these loans are the only money that the company can save at that time.

Ye Jiaqi has nothing to say at the moment, not only he has nothing to say, all the employees who were discordant with Zhong Kai before now have to call Senior Zhong Kai to learn from him.

Shen Kuo and Ye Jiaqi went all out to open up the market, while Liang Ting Zhongkai went to the bank to obtain loans as much as possible to solve the immediate crisis.

Lu Zhen travels between the Meng Group and the Lu Group every day, trying to persuade his parents.

In fact, everyone has a characteristic. They know that this is wrong, but once the first step is taken, even if it is wrong, they will resolutely refuse to admit it and refuse to face it.

It is not easy for people to admit their mistakes, especially the conceited and stubborn man like Lu Jian.

Meng Zhening remained neutral. She knew how difficult it was for Shen Kuo to walk step by step to this day. There was a resilience in his eyes. Even if his spine was broken, as long as he still had a breath, he would never bow his head easily.

Lu Zhen even went to Lu Jian's company and had a big fight with him, but it didn't happen, and the security guards put him out in the end.

During that time, in order to save the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, the teenagers sold almost everything they could sell.

Ye Jiaqi's lamborghini sports car, Liang Ting's favorite collection of landscape calligraphy and paintings, Zhong Kai's store, and even Jian Yao took out all her savings and gave it to Lu Zhen for emergency.

Although there are hardships in starting a business, because Shen Kuo stood in front of it, it finally went smoothly. This crisis is the first storm faced by teenagers after graduation.

They believe that by working together, they can always tide over the difficulties.

Lu Yan, who used to make money from Buddhism and follow the fate of the film, also began to frantically receive announcements.

Some people in the company smelled bankruptcy and left their jobs one after another, and the company's operations fell into a situation of internal and external troubles.

Shen Kuo and Ye Jiaqi simply moved their homes to the company and stayed up every night to support the normal operation of the server.

The chat software they developed is used by almost young people. Although it crashes frequently recently, it still runs normally.

Many projects have already gone offline, and if this software is all gone, the company will really have nothing to do with it.

So now they have to be chairman, programmers, sales and salesmen, and sometimes Lu Zhen even takes a mop to clean the toilet.

That afternoon, Lu Xiaoyan found Meng Zhining. Entrusted by Lu Yan, she helped to intercede and told her in detail the whole process of Shen Kuo's rescue.

The thrilling plot made Meng Zhining nervous.

"At that time, his left arm was scratched by a villager's sickle. The doctors said that he would hurt his tendons only a few centimeters away, and he was almost disabled. He would not be able to touch the keyboard in his life."

"Mom, you taught me since I was a child to be an upright person. An upright person will not avenge gratitude."

Meng Zhening clutched his beating heart, shocked and ashamed. That afternoon, she called Lu Jian.

"Lu Jian, let's forget about this matter. I changed to another small company. It took less than two weeks at most, but your son and them, they have been insisting on it for two months."

"Are you softhearted?"

"Yes, my heart is softened, and I feel sorry for your son who stays up every night, and now he doesn't even return home."

Lu Jian, in a suit and leather shoe, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, looking at the row upon row of tall buildings, and said lightly: "They can hold on for at least half a month. I don't want everything I had before to be in vain."

He underestimated Shen Kuo before, and the price Lu Jian paid to bring him down was not light.

"Lu Zhen is your son, do you really want him to have nothing?"

"How could he have nothing."

Yes, he is the heir of the Lu group, even Ye Jiaqi, including Liang Ting, they will not have nothing.

Lu Jian said in a deep voice: "I have reached this point, and I can't give up, otherwise all previous efforts will be lost."

"How about giving up all the previous work!" Meng Zhining was anxious: "Are they your enemies? They are your sons, the sons of your good friends, and your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter-in-law! They are all your relatives! Why bother? They are driven to the absolute path..."

"What can I do, his dad is dead, it was our Lu family who killed him, it was me who killed him!"

Lu Jian’s emotions were suddenly ignited, and he said angrily, “Think about how he treated your son before! If he is really able to take it in the future, he can let us off the Lu family? I even suspect that he is close to Xiaoyan. Out of ulterior motives, such hidden dangers must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Meng Zhining knew that whether it was out of guilty conscience or anger, Lu Jian was indeed frightened by Shen Kuo.

To make this man who has gone through the storm so jealous, Shen Kuo, that kid, will never be in the pool in the future.

"Lu Jian, the first time you went to my house to propose a marriage, when my parents threw your poor boy's gift out of the house, you said something, I haven't forgotten it yet, have you forgotten it?"

Lu Jian was silent suddenly and said nothing.

Meng Zhining paused and said: "Youth, don't deceive."

.......

More and more employees are leaving the company, and the rest are university students who started their business with Lu Zhen, but there are not many left.

Even the company's cleaning aunt, who heard the gossip that the company was about to go bankrupt, used the excuse that the daughter-in-law had to go back to take care of her and resigned.

Lu Zhen's professional level is not as good as Liang Ting Ye Jiaqi and the others, so when he is free, he does the job of cleaning aunt, holding a rag, squatting down, and wiping the corridor floor brightly...

Jian Yao was wearing slender high heels, holding her arms and looking at him from a distance, her mouth pursed with a smile.

Sometimes, a man’s maturity does not mean how tall he can stand, but whether he can bend down.

At the beginning, the unruly boy has finally grown up day by day.

Jian Yao walked over with the mop and helped him mop the floor together.

Lu Zhen looked up and saw his celebrity daughter-in-law stepping on the hate Tiangao, wearing a sleek fashion, with a mop in her hand.

"Oh my little ancestor, goodbye, go to the office and wait for me."

Jian Yao shrugged indifferently: "I'll help you do it together, two people will be faster."

Lu Zhen still didn't let Jian Yao do this. Not to mention that she is now a big star sought after by fans and secretly photographed by puppies. Even if it wasn't, he wouldn't bear Jian Yao doing these rough jobs.

After finishing it hastily, he washed his hands and pulled Jian Yao into the office.

Jian Yao said: "Why do you want your partner to do this? Just ask a cleaning aunt."

Lu Zhen helped her make a cup of American coffee and said, "In special times, if you can save it, you can save it. Daughter-in-law, be careful."

"If you are reluctant, I will help you, and I can spend some money."

Lu Zhen knew that his daughter-in-law felt sorry for him, and she felt sweet in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mainly I have nothing to do. Shen Kuo has strong business skills. I don't have enough brains for them, so I will help them with logistics."

When he said this, Jian Yao was unhappy, and frowned: "Don't belittle yourself, you are no worse than any of them."

Lu Zhen took a glass of water for herself, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Our Yaoyao's mouth is so sweet, let's give it a kiss and try if it is really so sweet."

When he said that, he leaned over, holding Jian Yao's head to kiss her.

Jian Yao smiled and pushed him away: "You didn't make you happy, I'm serious, I never thought you were worse than anyone else."

Lu Zhen was very moved, but he also knew in his heart that in some respects, he was not as good as Shen Kuo.

I couldn't beat him in the early years, and it is even more so now.

"Lu Zhen, you don't have to compare with anyone, you have yours, no one can compare."

At least, in her eyes.

He gently pressed her arm, rubbed it, and said seriously: "Thank you for recognizing me."

Jian Yao touched his head like a dog, and said in a long tone: "No thanks."

"You are so good, then you are allowed to kiss me." Lu Zhen said, pouting: "There is only one chance, kiss me quickly."

Jian Yao laughed: "Who is going to kiss you, silly dog."

"Stop talking nonsense, kiss me."

Jian Yao suppressed a smile and leaned in to kiss him. At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly opened the door: "Lu Zhen, have you seen where Shen Kuo is..."

"Oh, I'm going. Excuse me, I didn't see anything."

Jian Yao immediately pushed Lu Zhen away, and Lu Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "How many times have you said it, come into my office and knock on the door!"

"I will definitely remember next time!" She strayed away, clutching her salary card.

A new salary arrived on the card, and she hurried over to "send charcoal in the snow."

Running too fast, he ran into Liang Ting who had come out of the meeting room, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, and a graceful appearance.

He dropped his hand on Lu Yan's shoulder, stabilized her figure, and said, "Beware of falling. How old is it, it's like a child."

Lu Yan couldn't find Shen Kuo, and simply handed the card to Liang Ting: "Shen Kuo promised before, let me buy a share, here, the funds are in place, take it."

Liang Ting smiled and patted her forehead with the card: "I can't do this, so I have to find Shen Kuo."

"Where is he?"

At this time, Ye Jiaqi at the window suddenly said: "He is downstairs and sees our old friend."

Lu Yan and Liang Ting looked out the window together--

There was a black Audi parked downstairs. Outside, a man in a white shirt and tie was standing. He looked familiar at first glance, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

Lu Yan looked at Ye Jiaqi and asked, "Who is this?"

"Shen Kuo's brother, Cao Zhida."

Hearing this name, Lu Yan suddenly remembered, a senior from Shen Kuo University.

Shen Kuo withdrew from the research group because of a disagreement with Cao Zhida.

"What is he here for?"

"I don't know, maybe come to see our jokes."

Cao Zhida did come to see the jokes. Not only did he watch the jokes, he also wanted to buy Shen Kuo's company.

Of course, it was not his acquisition, he did not have such a strong capital, he came to talk to Shen Kuo on behalf of his boss.

His boss is Mr. Li from Hengyuan Technology. Mr. Li appreciates him a lot. He heard that Shen Kuo and he were once college classmates, so he sent him here to talk to Shen Kuo about the acquisition.

Shen Kuo didn't even let him in, but at the door of the company, decisively rejected him.

The stars are all his hard work, the result of his and Lu Zhenliangting's countless days and nights of hard work, he can't easily hand them over.

"Shen Kuo, be smart, your stars are no longer good enough, why bother to linger."

"Go back and tell Mr. Li that we will not sell."

Cao Zhida said: "President Li predicts that he will definitely go bankrupt within half a month. Now I will come to talk to you, and I can help you get a good price. If you wait for the real bankruptcy, it won't be this price."

Shen Kuo's eyes provoked a contemptuous sneer: "Brother, at the beginning, you vowed to say that what I did blindly catered to the market, without feelings and ideals, not enough to promote the progress of all mankind... Then now you are asking to buy me Isn’t it too ugly to take pictures with the best technology."

Cao Zhida's face was ugly. He was about to come to humiliate Shen Kuo. He didn't expect to be humiliated by him. He said angrily: "Shen Kuo, no one in the industry knows that your capital chain is short and you are about to go bankrupt now."

"Bankruptcy is my business, what to do with you, what to do with your boss, Stars is developed by me, if it is really bankrupt, even if it is destroyed, I will not sell it."

"You...you are crazy!"

Star chat software is used by almost all young people, and its interaction is quite attractive to young people, especially young girls.

This is a piece of sweet pastry that everyone in the industry covets. After finally waiting for their company's financial crisis, people who want to buy Xingchen have also crossed the threshold these days. Unexpectedly...

Shen Kuo could say to destroy it!

"You...you really don't sell? If you don't sell, you will be in debt!"

Shen Kuo smiled coldly, and Yun said lightly: "It is no big deal for me to destroy it. If I can make one star, I can make a second and third."

It was also at this moment that Cao Zhida deeply felt the gap between him and Shen Kuo.

He will never be like him, forever...

Even if it is bankrupt, Cao Zhida has no doubt that one day he will make a comeback.

The corners of his eyes trembled, and he said: "Since you toast and not eat fine wine, then you wait...wait, I won't make you feel better..."

After Cao Zhida finished this cruel remark, he turned around to leave. At this moment, he heard a sound of "crash", and a basin of water upstairs suddenly splashed down and poured him all over, as wet as a chicken.

Upstairs, Lu Zhen raised the bucket and greeted him: "Hello! Welcome to come again next time, we reserve all the mopping water for you!"

Lu Yan also smiled and said, "There is not enough, there is still more!"

Cao Zhida was angry before he had time, and the second basin of water was splashed down. He hurriedly got into the car and left the child alone.

Shen Kuo pulled his wet collar and looked up at Lu Zhen's silly look.

You can't... be precise?

After half an hour, Shen Kuo came out of the bathroom in the office living room, Lu Yan half squatted on the sofa, picked up the hair dryer, grabbed his short black hair, and helped him dry it.

Lu Zhen stood on the side with a smile and said, "You are in the blind spot of my viewing angle. Didn't you see it? You got hurt by mistake."

Shen Kuo didn't bother to care about him, and rubbed Lu Yan's hand: "Are you on vacation today?"

Lu Yan handed the card to Shen Kuo: "I have advanced all the notices for the next six months. Although it is a drop in the bill, it is better than nothing."

Shen Kuo squeezed the card tightly and said in a calm voice: "Now that I am in a difficult situation, I will not be polite to you. I will count you as a shareholder and pay you dividends when you get through the crisis."

Lu Yan squeezed his hair and smiled: "Dividends? No, no, all yours will be mine in the future..."

Shen Kuo held her head with both hands, rubbed it, and his face was petting: "The heart is really big."

"certainly."

On the sofa, Ye Jiaqi leaned on the backrest, with her long legs folded, looking at them blankly: "Shen Kuo, do you really think we can get through this crisis?"

"Otherwise what do you think we are doing."

"We have already taken most of the functions offline. Now users are losing a lot every day, and the situation is not optimistic. If you ask me what I mean, I suggest selling the stars, minimizing losses, and preserving the strength to make a comeback."

Liang Ting: "No."

"You are against a fart." Ye Jiaqi looked at him angrily: "You just sing the opposite of me, right."

"Yes, I just sing the opposite of you." Liang Ting said: "The stars are the hard work of all of us. If you say you sell it, you will sell it. The efforts in the past few years have all been in vain, and I am not reconciled."

Ye Jiaqi looked at Lu Zhen: "What do you say."

Lu Zhen kicked the plastic bucket beside his foot: "I've been a cleaner for so many days. I've been in vain? I have to keep going. I won't give up until the last second."

Jian Yao's hand fell on Lu Zhen's shoulder and pressed hard.

Others may not understand, but she understands that Lu Zhen doesn't want to give up Xingchen, he just...

I don't want to give up Shen Kuo.

Ye Jiaqi has a retreat, Liang Ting has a retreat, and of course Lu Zhen also has it. Looking back, it is the big Lu group. Isn't it better than staying here to clean the toilet every day?

They all have a way back, but Shen Kuo doesn't.

In the evening, the boys continued to stay up late to work, ordering a few take-out dumplings and sending them upstairs.

As usual, Shen Kuo removed the dumpling stuffing, put the shrimp and meat stuffing inside to Lu Yan, and ate the dumpling wrapper by himself.

Lu Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and tapped his bowl with his chopsticks: "You spoil her too much."

Lu Yan stuck out his tongue at him: "I want you to take care of it."

Lu Zhen looked at his empty bowl. He hadn't eaten enough by himself, and grabbed dumplings from Jian Yao's bowl. Compared with Shen Kuo, he was really...a bit ashamed.

Jian Yao gave him all the dumplings left in her bowl, and Lu Zhen quickly said, "Don't, you eat by yourself, I won't eat it anymore."

Jian Yao casually shrugged: "I can't eat it."

"You have eaten less and less recently."

"No appetite."

"Are you sick?"

"I don't know, no."

Lu Yan stared at Jian Yao's face suspiciously for a long while, as if she was thinner, and her whole body looked more slender and skinny.

"Are you losing weight?"

"No." Jian Yao shook her head: "I just don't have appetite."

Ye Jiaqi smiled, "Isn't it because Xiao Yanyan is in my stomach?"

As soon as he said this, the chopsticks in Lu Yan's hand fell to the ground, and his face was instantly pale.

Don't... don't scare me.

Lu Zhen was also stupid, and turned his head stiffly to Jian Yao: "You have...have it?"

Jian Yao stretched out her hand and pushed the fool's face away: "Silly, don't you count yourself."

They haven't done anything at all, they have a fart.

"It's simply a bad appetite, what do you think about it."

Lu Zhen also thought about it. He checked the information deliberately. He just hugged and touched, and he wouldn't get pregnant.

Although Jian Yao denied it, Lu Yan was still very worried. After dinner, she deliberately pulled Jian Yao to the unmanned corridor of the company and resolutely warned him: "You and Lu Zhen... absolutely must not have a baby!"

Jian Yao wrinkled her brows and said, "The marriage hasn't been settled yet, how can there be any little babies."

"Married also..."

It is also not allowed to be married, it cannot happen. In all likelihood, Jian Yao suffers from postpartum depression, and Lu Yan absolutely can't let this happen.

But she couldn't tell the matter, she didn't even have the courage to tell Lu Zhen, let alone tell Jian Yao.

If she knew in advance that the cause of her mother's death was...depression and suicide, she would never bring Lu Zhen and Jian Yao together. She would rather have never been in this world than her mother would have an episode of illness because of her.

"Jian Yao, marriage issues...you must think about it, don't make a decision so quickly, you know, think about it."

Jian Yao rubbed Lu Yan's head: "What's the matter with you today, it's weird."

Lu Yan held her hand nervously: "You are very important to me, very important, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

I don't know why, Jian Yao's heart was suddenly touched, as long as she looked at this little girl, all kinds of tenderness came to her heart.

She gently hugged Lu Yan, and said softly, "You are also a very important person to me, you and Lu Zhen are both, you are my family."

...

Late at night, the boys went back to their offices to sleep. Almost all of them have been living in the company around the clock these days.

Lu Yan fell asleep on the sofa in Shen Kuo's office. Shen Kuo was unwilling to let her stay with him, so she simply carried her and walked out of the company.

The little girl lay on his back, woke up slightly, and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"go home."

The little girl yawned softly and put her head on his shoulder: "Aren't you working overtime tonight."

"Well, I'll be with you tonight."

Their home is a three-set small bungalow, a very high-end supporting community.

Shen Kuo said that this house should be his and Lu Yan's future wedding room, so Lu Zhen helped Shen Kuo to refer to the decoration of the bungalows, all according to his aesthetic taste, showing a strong warm and sweet tone.

In the room, all the supplies are in pairs, slippers, toothbrushes, cups... The bathroom is full of bottles and jars of Lu Yan skin care, and there are her sanitary napkins in the cabinet. Lu Yan's second home.

In the past, Shen Kuo never knew that an empty home could be filled with such a fullness. Every corner of the house contained women's belongings, with her breath and traces.

It is precisely because of this that the home has meaning, peace of mind and tranquility.

After taking a shower, Shen Kuo took a bath towel and tried to wipe his wet hair. He walked out and saw the girl wearing his black T, sitting on the sofa holding the fluffy rabbit, with his head buried in the soft corner.

Shen Kuo came over, resting his jaw gently on Lu Yan's shoulder, Lu Yan woke up and smelled the faint fragrance of mint shower gel on his body.

She turned her head, dangled his neck, and hugged him.

Shen Kuo pinched her [...] and kissed her, lingering and very gentle.

Lu Yan's head was buried in his neck.

Shen Kuo directly [...] got her up, went back to the room, and reached out to solve her [...]. When it was the second one, he used it directly.

The next morning, Lu Yan stood lazily in front of the mirror brushing her teeth, looking at the strawberry print on her neck, her cheeks were slightly hot.

After all, Shen Kuo is a man from his father's generation, and he will not do anything to her easily before the ring is put on her hand.

But... it doesn't seem that nothing happened.

Young boys always have many other requests, Lu Yan did not refuse, so Shen Kuo played all night.
