Chapter 364 Combined Family

Yan Xin did not expect that Xiao Shiyu liked him because of his appearance, because he looked like a certain star she liked.

This made him feel quite speechless.

But when I think about it carefully, I really didn’t have any advantages when I was in high school.

At that time, he didn't think he was very good-looking. He didn't even want to look in the mirror. He felt very inferior.

Maybe what he disliked at that time was not his appearance, but the ragged clothes, which gave off a look of poverty.

Therefore, in his previous life, he really couldn't understand why Xiao Shiyu would find him and meet him like this many years after graduation.

Now I understand a little bit - it turns out that I secretly fell in love with him when I was studying, and I have always had that kind of love.

I also understand why after they met that time in their previous life, they just drank a cup of coffee, chatted about some past events, and then separated, and never contacted each other again.

Because at that time, he had already gained weight in middle age, and coupled with many years of poverty, he had completely lost the image of his boyhood.

It starts because of appearance and ends because of appearance. It can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

"In her mind, I just gave birth to a good skin." Yan Xin thought this way.

But I still couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked: "Which star do you think I look like?"

"Liu Huan." Xiao Shiyu sent this message.

Yan Xin: "..."

I feel humiliated.

Even when he gained weight in middle age in his previous life, he never gained weight to that extent.

Xiao Shiyu sent another message: "I'm just kidding, aren't you angry?"

Of course Yan Xin couldn't say that he was angry, so he replied to her: "No, I'm looking for the lyrics of "Song of a Good Man" and I'm going to sing "The River Flows East" for you."

"Hahahahahaha." Xiao Shiyu typed six words "ha" in one breath.

From a literal point of view, it seems that she is quite happy.

Seeing such a reply, Yan Xin was also inexplicably happy - it was good to be able to joke, at least it meant that her mood was not that bad, and the two of them were still friends.

Xiao Shiyu sent another message: "To be honest, I think you look like Uncle Benshan."

Yan Xin typed and laughed at himself: "Is it because my shoe-knob face is so authentic?"

Before it was sent, Xiao Shiyu sent another message:

"Sorry, I typed the wrong name. I think you look a lot like Brother Guanxi."

Yan Xin thought: "Isn't that still the same meaning?"

So, I sent that one out anyway.

Seeing the celebrity mentioned by Xiao Shiyu, I suddenly thought of something: "It's already August 2007, Master Chen's laptop should be broken by now, right?"

That incident was something that shocked the entire entertainment industry. It became a hotly discussed topic for a long time and was still talked about many years later.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he seemed to be unable to do anything else except eat a melon.

It’s not that there is no way to attract some traffic from that incident, but it’s mainly against public order, so after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

The chat between him and Xiao Shiyu continued until Xiao Shiyu got off the car.

After the chat ended, he naturally deleted the chat history.

This has become a habit.

This chat made the deliberately unfamiliar feeling between the two of them disappear a lot.

There is no way to go back to the past, but there is no way to become a stranger in the future.

Yan Xin had no other thoughts, he just didn't want good friends to suddenly become strangers.

Feng Xi was very busy during this period and often didn't say a word for a whole day.

Of course, Yan Xin couldn't take the initiative to chat with Feng Xi when he was with Ai Lili. That would be too dangerous.

Feng Xi didn't come to talk to him, and he just didn't respond.

In terms of the operation of Jinxi e-commerce company, he has more contact with the supervisors of several online stores and the operations director Xue Bing than with Feng Xi.

Xiao Shiyu also stayed in Pengcheng for about ten days. He spent time with two female classmates, played and did research. Later, he also went to Hong Kong Island, stayed there for one night and bought some things.

.

At that time, I also asked Ai Lili on QQ if there was anything she wanted and could I send it to her.

When she was in Yangcheng, she added Aili's QQ account.

At that time, I deliberately kept a distance from Yan Xin and seemed to have a normal relationship, but I got along quite well with Aili.

Of course, Ellie was embarrassed to ask a schoolgirl to give her a gift, so she said she didn't want anything right now and didn't let her bring her a gift.

However, Xiao Shiyu finally brought a gift to Ai Lili, a box of chocolates worth several hundred yuan.

She is just a student girl. Although her family is not short of money, she is not considered wealthy and cannot afford expensive things.

And that day on Hong Kong Island, she actually bought some things. They were all asked by her relatives in her hometown. She also spent a lot of money. She almost used up her tax-free limit and had no more money to buy expensive gifts.

Already.

When I was going back, I passed by Yangcheng and met Yan Xin and Ai Lili again. They presented me with this box of chocolates and had another meal together before returning to my hometown.

Didn't stay here overnight.

This also made Yan Xin feel a lot more relaxed.

When they met for the last time, the two of them still maintained the same sense of distance as before, but where Ellie couldn't see, they occasionally made eye contact, and there were some unspeakable meanings.

When Xiao Shiyu returned, it was already mid-August.

Jinxi Company is on the right track in Beijing. It has transferred some employees from their hometown, recruited some employees locally, found new suppliers, and opened a fourth online store, mainly buying goods.

Electronic products.

Their company's office is relatively close to Zhongguancun, which has certain advantages in doing this.

When the new online store was opened, Xingguang.com also provided great traffic support and held a week-long promotional event, and sales immediately increased.

At this time, the Xingguang.com Summer Swimsuit Goddess event has entered the finals. The website has a lot of traffic, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to attract traffic.

Yan Xin was not involved in the specific affairs. He was mainly responsible for traffic support on the website.

Advertising fees must be charged, but the advertising position given is also the best. He also put some thought into the copywriting, and also showed great sincerity in the price. Under the slogan of half-price reward, he made less money.

Made a lot of money.

Feng Xi just put forward the idea of ​​opening a fourth online store, but she let go of the specific matters.

It's not that she doesn't want to take care of it, it's just that she really doesn't have time to take care of it.

——At that time, she was participating in military training.

There is no contact with Yan Xin either.

The weather is so hot that Yan Xin rarely goes to work in the company. Even if it is just outside the community, he only goes there occasionally and stays for half an hour before coming out.

Anye Home Decoration Company also moved there, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. He happened to visit both places.

Sometimes I would go to the company's original office, where the company's music department was located, but I rarely went there, not even once a week.

Inspection can't do much except show your presence and tell people in the company that there is a pair of eyes watching from above.

The real estate industry is very popular now. In this environment, Anye Home Decoration Company is also developing very well and is thriving.

Feng Chen is also very ambitious. His goal has been upgraded from becoming a millionaire to becoming a billionaire.

Although he is still a debtor and owes a huge debt to the bank.

But the assets he owns are there, and in total, his personal net worth has exceeded one million.

Setting the goal to the level of hundreds of millions is a very reasonable thing.

The 20,000 yuan I borrowed from Yan Xin was returned to him not long after.

He also mentioned to Yan Xin Feng Xi's business venture in Beijing.

Yan Xin confessed to him: "I know this, and I also invested in her company."

This matter can be hidden from other people, but it cannot be kept hidden in front of Feng Chen, who also runs a company, so it is better to tell it earlier.

Of course, there is another very important reason, and that is that Feng Chen is relatively tight-lipped - he has not revealed the fact that he bought a house in Yangcheng and has a company, which shows that he can keep secrets.

His words shocked Feng Chen: "Did you invest in her?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, I contributed part of the money and owned half of the shares of the company she started. It's the same as our cooperation method."

Feng Chen stayed for a while and said: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​investing in her? She has just finished high school, has never been in business, and has no relevant experience. As an elder brother, I don't dare to invest in her. You

How dare you?"

Yan Xin couldn't say that your sister is my woman, so he could only find a random reason: "Didn't you say that she started setting up a stall to make money when she was a freshman in high school? I think this is a business talent, so I voted for her."

"Setting up a stall to do a small business is not the same thing as starting a business to do a big business. Why are you so big-hearted?" Feng Chen smiled bitterly.

Feng Xi wanted to start her own business, and he had no objection. Anyway, she was using her own money. He felt that if you have the entrepreneurial spirit, you can try it out. Even if you fail, it will be a valuable experience.

His sister is a top student and the pride of heaven. She has already had such a high starting point. Even if she fails, she can start over.

It's not a big deal to lose all the three hundred thousand yuan. With him as the elder brother supporting him, it will be easy to make a comeback.

What he was worried about was that his sister, who had no experience at all, would fail to start a business, and Yan Xin would be cheated as well.

This is a bit sorry for me.

Moreover, he felt that Feng Xi had such a big deal from the beginning. More than 300,000 yuan was not enough, and he had to find someone to cooperate. This was a bit too ambitious, which was not a good thing.

Yan Xin said: "There is not much money. If you fail, you will fail. I am very optimistic about your sister. I think she is a person who can achieve great things, so I invested in her."

Feng Chen said: "I also think she can achieve great things in the future, but I don't think she can achieve great things once she starts her business. She has business talent, but she may not be a business genius."

"It's okay. If we failed this time, we can still cooperate in the future. The money is not much anyway, so what's there to worry about?" Yan Xin said with a smile, "This is venture capital. Of course there are risks, but once it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.

, I’m willing to bet on her.”

"Okay, you have money, you can do whatever you want." Feng Chen could only say this.

If people don't mind losing money, then he has nothing to say.

But he was also curious: "How did she find you? Are you familiar with each other?"

"Um?" Yan Xin panicked for a moment, and then made up nonsense, "We have met several times, and she added me on QQ. A few days ago, I congratulated her on being admitted to Beijing University, and she told me that she wanted to

Regarding starting a business, she said she needed some investment, and asked me if I could help her get investment, and we started chatting. Finally, she convinced me, so I just invested in it myself."

Although what he said was not true, it was still reasonable and explained why he invested in Feng Xi.

Feng Chen had no doubts, but just sighed: "I didn't expect that you are the financial sponsor of both our brothers and sisters. You are a noble person of our Feng family!"

Yan Xin smiled and said: "The main reason is that I got huge returns from working with you, which made me determined to invest in her. Even if the investment fails, with your successful investment, I will still make money no matter what."

This is also true.

He didn't spend much money investing in Anye Home Decoration, and he had already recovered his investment from multiple dividends, and even made some money.

The most important thing is that he now owns half of the assets of Anye Home Decoration Company.

This rate of return is also quite generous.

Feng Chen thought the same thing.

Even if Yan Xin lost money on his sister's project, with Anye Home Decoration as a cooperative project, he still made money in the end.

This way he doesn't have to worry so much.

It's quite emotional, I feel that the Feng family and Yan Xin are tied too deeply.

I even had this thought in my mind: "How great would it be if this guy married my sister and became my brother-in-law?"

But after this idea came up, he killed it by himself: "It's impossible, my sister is not good-looking and has a bad temper. He is young, handsome, rich, and has so many choices.

How can you like my sister?"

He is a man, and of course he knows what men like in women.

Anyway, good academic performance is not a big plus point.

Not many older brothers think their sisters are ugly.

Not many brothers think their sisters are very beautiful.

They have lived together since childhood, and no matter how ugly they look, they will still be pleasing to the eye.

No matter how beautiful you are, you will never feel amazing.

Therefore, he felt that it was impossible for Yan Xin to like his sister based on his conditions.

It doesn't matter even if his sister makes hundreds of millions.

Because Yan Xin himself is not short of money.

In this regard, he even felt that his sister-in-law was more likely than his sister.

Ruan Siyao was also admitted to university and also participated in military training.

She wants to study economics, and her future ambition is to help her sister and brother-in-law run the company and manage finances. She has no ambition to start her own business.

Feng Chen also hoped that she could return from her studies earlier to help him.

The world does not lack talents, but it lacks talents that people can trust.

Of course, my sister-in-law is a member of my family and a trustworthy person.

Unfortunately, Yan Xin and Ruan Siyao were just ordinary friends. They always maintained a certain distance and did not seem to be able to get together, which made Feng Chen feel very regretful.

Yan Xin also told Feng Chen that he did not want the news about him and Feng Xi to open a company to spread to his hometown, and hoped that Feng Chen could help him keep the secret.

As for why he told Feng Chen, in his words, it was: "What is our relationship? Can I hide it from you?"

You need to hide it from others, but you can't hide it from Feng Chen.

Such trust made Feng Chen quite honored, and he immediately said to him: "Don't worry, I'm very strict. As long as you don't want to spread the word, I won't even tell my parents about this matter."

.”

Yan Xin felt relieved after receiving such assurance from him.

During this period, he also had contact with Bai Xiaoling, but it was relatively infrequent, basically once a week.

The main reason is that Bai Xiaoling does not have a mobile phone, so if she wants to contact him, she can only go to the Internet cafe in the next town.

Her mother only allows her to go to the Internet cafe once a week.

So they only have one chance to contact each other once a week.

Ever since Yan Xin told Bai Xiaoling that Feng Xi could introduce her to a job in the capital, Bai Xiaoling stopped asking him to introduce her to a job. When it came to working, she said she would wait until her mother's wedding was settled before coming out.

Regarding this matter of a combined family, Yan's father is relatively reserved, so you can't ask anything from him.

Yan Xin could only find out from Bai Xiaoling, and then go to his father to confirm.

According to the news obtained from Bai Xiaoling, the progress was good. The two met several times one after another, and Yan's father even went to Bai's house to help with farm work several times.

Of course, her mother also went to Yan's house several times to help.

I stayed at Yan's house twice more.

She told Yan Xin: "My mother said it was too late when we stopped and the work was not finished, so we just stayed there. Anyway, my father has a lot of houses. Whether we live together, I don't know."

I know, I stayed there twice anyway.”

It's not easy for Yan Xin to speculate on such things.

But being able to stay overnight speaks volumes in itself.

He asked his father, and his father also admitted that such a thing happened, but of course he only admitted that he stayed overnight.

But he still admitted another thing - he was quite satisfied with the woman and could accept starting a family with her.

And there was indeed discussion about marriage.

It has not yet been determined whether it will be a matter of getting a license and serving drinks, or just getting a license and not getting a license, or just getting a license but not serving drinks.

It has not been determined when the two families will merge into one family.

This is a combination of two families. It is necessary to seek the opinions of all members of both families and reach a consensus before anything can be done. It is not something that can be decided by just two adults.

Fortunately, both Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling supported this matter, so there were no major setbacks.

The only thing that can be regarded as a bit of a twist is that after Bai Xiaoling's cousins ​​learned about this incident, they put forward their opinions-Bai Xiaoling's mother can get married, but the house and land cannot be taken away and must be left behind.

them.

——They believe that the house and land belong to the Bai family. After her mother gets married, she is no longer a member of the Bai family, so she has no right to continue to own the house and land and must stay.

This request seems a bit like bullying orphans and widowed mothers, and most people would not agree to it.

Now that agricultural taxes have been completely abolished, there are subsidies for growing grains. Having land in hand is equivalent to wealth.

Therefore, Bai Xiaoling was aggrieved and felt that her cousin and uncle were too bullying and did not want to hand them over.

However, Yan Xin felt that there was no need to argue with others over this issue - the most important thing was that he did not want to have too much land at home and make his father have more hardships.

So he persuaded Bai Xiaoling to give up: "You have also seen my house. It is such a big house and so beautiful. It will be no problem for you mother and daughter to live in it. The land can't be planted so much, and it's so far away. There's no need to keep it."

It's in your hands, just give it up, don't get into trouble for such a trivial matter."

Moreover, he also promised that he would definitely introduce Bai Xiaoling to a stable job in the future so that he would not have to become a farmer again.

Under his persuasion, Bai Xiaoling also made a retreat.

This combined family thing is almost done.

The final plan was to form a new family in winter.

I need to get the certificate, but since this is my second marriage, I won’t have a big banquet for guests. I will just serve wine and treat some relatives to a meal, and then we’re done.
