rebirth of cataclysm

"Master, this is your part. I brought it to you this time." After Song Qiaoshan and Hu Mingchen chatted about his studies, Hu Mingchen took out an envelope and put it on the coffee table.

Song Qiaoshan looked at the envelope, then at Hu Mingchen, and frowned: "What do you mean? Bribe me?"

"Master, you misunderstood. How could I bribe you? I don't have the need or the courage. This is not bribery at all, and I can't bribe you." Hu Mingchen hurriedly explained to avoid misunderstanding.

"Then why do you give me money? Thank me for helping me with the first grade of junior high school? If so, there is no need. I was doing my duty. If your family is the one who made the mistake, I will not show mercy. Same thing.

Act in accordance with the law." Song Qiaoshan's brows did not relax.

"Master, why are you thinking this way? It's not true. This is the dividend you earned. When my house was washed away by the rain, didn't you help me with a sum of money? I told you at that time.

, that money is considered your investment in the cinema. Since it is an investment, there will be income, and if there is income, there will be dividends. This is the dividend you win." Hu Mingchen said.

Song Qiaoshan reached for the envelope, opened the seal, and saw that there were three to four thousand yuan inside. He slid the thumb of his right hand on the banknotes, stuffed the money back into the envelope, and threw it in front of Hu Mingchen: "Take it back.

, that is a gift, not an investment, so the so-called dividends have nothing to do with me

It has something to do with it. I remember that I never agreed. At that time, your family suffered a disaster. As your master, I should help. But if it turns into the money it is now, no matter what name it is used for,

The meaning has changed. You can take the money back yourself, I won’t take it.”

"Master..."

"Stop talking. If you take the money back, you can call me that in the future. If you don't take it back, don't call me master in the future. If I accept the money, we will become partners, that's all.

Moreover, party members and cadres cannot engage in business. The central government has already stipulated this. You are asking me to violate the regulations. You can do whatever you want." Song Qiaoshan said calmly.

Hu Mingchen looked at the envelope and felt a little at a loss. He didn't know whether he should put it back in his pocket.

Of course Hu Mingchen was willing to destroy the relationship with Song Qiaoshan. He originally thought that if the money he gave him was turned into investment, the relationship might become closer.

However, Song Qiaoshan gave him a large amount of money after all, and Hu Mingchen would feel bad if there was no return.

"Xiaochen, do you know what kind of relationship can last long?" Seeing that Hu Mingchen didn't move for a while, Song Qiaoshan asked him in a gentle tone.

"I don't know." Hu Mingchen shook his head.

"I tell you, a simple and pure relationship can last the longest. Once there is a conflict of interests, the relationship will be complicated by complex factors, and there is a possibility of being destroyed by interests at any time. My comrades and I, even if we are separated by several years,

Even if we don't meet, the feelings we had back then will still become stronger and stronger, but if I exchange money or promotions with them,

After that, our relationship deteriorated and devalued. I just told you that some relationships should have a certain degree of restraint, and don’t think that anyone can buy it. If our relationship was just a master-disciple relationship, it might last for decades.

, but once it becomes a joint investment partnership, it may break down tomorrow." Song Qiaoshan taught earnestly.

For the sake of Song Qiaoshan's words, if Hu Mingchen doesn't get the money back, it may affect Song Qiaoshan's opinion of him.

"Master, I understand, thank you." Hu Mingchen retracted his hand, took the money back and put it back into his bag, and said sincerely.

"It's good to know. As a person, a qualified person, you should have a grateful heart, but you can't be too worldly. If you feel that someone has helped you, there are many ways you can repay the favor, and you don't have to take anything.

Money." Song Qiaoshan continued.

"Yes, I remember." Hu Mingchen nodded honestly.

"Haha, just remember it. You're hungry. Come on, I'll take you to the door to eat. I can't cook, so I can't entertain you at home." Seeing Hu Mingchen agreeing one by one, Song Qiaoshan patted him.

said with a smile over his shoulder.

From the very beginning, there was a disparity in status between Song Qiaoshan and Hu Mingchen, including in Hu Mingchen's family. Therefore, there was no way for him to make friends with Hu Mingchen or get close to Hu Mingchen.

return.

In Song Qiaoshan's view, if you give it, you give it. It is impossible to receive any investment dividends now.

From another point of view, if Song Qiao Shantu received dividends from his investment income, he could have invested more, and he would have agreed with Hu Mingchen on the proportion of power and responsibility, and would never give it away randomly.

"Hey, I'm really a little hungry. When I got off the bus, I saw a dumpling shop owned by a northerner across the road. Let's go and finish the dumplings." Hu Mingchen didn't show off, touching his belly in a sincere way.

smiled.

"Save money for me, you think I can't afford to treat you to something good? Come on, I'll take you to eat bacon hot pot." Song Qiaoshan joked.

Hu Mingchen really wanted to save money for Song Qiaoshan. Song Qiaoshan didn't accept so much money. How could Hu Mingchen have the nerve to ask him to spend more money? Two bowls of dumplings cost about ten yuan. It saves money and makes you feel less hungry after eating it.

.

However, Hu Mingchen did not continue to insist, he was still sensible.

Song Qiaoshan took Hu Mingchen to a hot pot restaurant he was familiar with, and the two of them had a hot and fragrant bacon hot pot.

After dinner, Hu Mingchen was going to the station to take the bus back to Duge, but Song Qiaoshan stopped him and said that he would take him to buy a winter coat.

"Master, no need. If you want to buy something, I will buy it myself. You didn't even want the money I gave you just now, but now you want to buy me clothes. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Hu Mingchen said with a smile, half joking.

"That's different. You are my junior. It is reasonable and legal for me to buy you a piece of clothing. It is completely different from you giving me money." Song Qiaoshan said.

"Master, Du Ge is not cold, just go back. Now your apprentice is also a small and wealthy man. If he wants to buy some clothes, he has the ability to do it independently. If one day I don't have this ability, you can buy it for me."

Yeah, haha." Even if what Song Qiaoshan said made sense, Hu Mingchen still declined.

Now Hu Mingchen is also a self-respecting person, and he has thousands of dollars on him. Under this situation, Hu Mingchen really has no reason or psychological excuse to accept Song Qiaoshan's clothes.

Seeing that Hu Mingchen still refused and Song Qiaoshan did not persist, he noticed that Hu Mingchen's self-esteem was quite high.

Just because Hu Mingchen is a very self-respecting person, he received his favor, and now he wants to repay it twice as much. In other words, Hu Mingchen is not willing to owe favors if he can.

This is similar to Song Qiaoshan. He can accept some small gifts from Hu Mingchen, but he will never accept money.

After parting ways with Song Qiaoshan, Hu Mingchen quickly walked to the county bus station and caught the bus back to Duge Township.

...

Two days after returning from the city, Hu Mingchen, his three siblings, signed up to study.

In the past, at this time, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai were most likely to worry, because not only were they short of registration fees for their three children, but they also might not be able to afford some stationery expenses for pencils and notebooks.

At this stage, the two adults were worried. Hu Mingchen and his three children were in the same desolate mood. Other children went to school happily, but they still didn't know whether their parents could borrow the tuition fees on time.

This year the situation has not only been greatly improved, it can even be said to have been fundamentally reversed.

Hu Mingchen not only took the registration fee to the school himself, but also gave his sisters Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao 20 yuan each to buy the stationery they needed.

Wearing new clothes, carrying a new schoolbag, and carrying money in my pocket, I felt very good about going to school to register.

As soon as Hu Mingchen arrived at school, he became the most popular figure in the class.

Now Hu Mingchen not only has the best academic performance in the class, but everyone knows that his family owns a movie theater, which is very profitable. During the Chinese New Year, several of Mao Feng and his classmates even got the opportunity to watch movies for free.

The economic foundation not only determines the superstructure, it also determines a person's interpersonal relationships. Now that so many people are willing to have a good relationship with Hu Mingchen, it is of course closely related to the fact that his family's conditions are very different. Otherwise, even if Hu Mingchen is still the first in the class

, there will still be some people who are not interested in him.

It's not like now, when people who are on good terms with each other can't help but say nice things about Hu Mingchen, which at worst sounds like flattery.

After being surrounded by everyone asking many questions, Hu Mingchen was able to escape from the crowd and went to the office to find Ma Yi.

"Hu Mingchen, I heard that you were injured during the Chinese New Year." As soon as they met, Ma Yi said with concern.

What happened on the first day of the lunar new year had such an impact that almost everyone in Duge Township knew about it, so it was reasonable for Ma Yi to know that Hu Mingchen was injured. But he didn't expect that she would show such concern when they met.

"Thank you, Teacher Ma, for your concern. I'm fine. I'm not seriously injured. It's just that my parents were injured a little bit." Hu Mingchen said.

"That's good. I heard that something happened to you, and I was a little worried about you. Now that I see you are intact, I feel relieved." Ma Yi said with a smile.

When someone said that the incident was directly related to Huang Guohua, Ma Yi still scolded Huang Guohua in his heart. Fortunately, he had not been too partial to Huang Guohua and his son Huang Xiaoyang before. Now it seems that his previous actions were still correct.

of.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Ma. I should go and wish you a happy New Year during the Chinese New Year, but... I went to the city two days ago and brought you a small gift. I hope the teacher can accept it.

." As he spoke, Hu Mingchen took out a small long black box and placed it on Ma Yi's desk.
