Volume 9, Chapter 20 (End) Chapter 614 Yuan Xudong criticizes Duan Jiabao
Inside the room, after getting dressed, Yuan Xudong handed Duan Jiabao a black bank card and said with a smile:
"This card is for you. Don't get me wrong. Xiaoguo and the others all have it."
"I know, how much money is in this card?"
Duan Jiabao took the bank card and asked with a smile. Because Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang all had this black bank card, she did not refuse. Instead, she was a little curious about how much money was in the card. Yuan Xudong glanced at her and said with a smile:
"Guess?"
"One million?"
Duan Jiabao looked at Yuan Xudong and guessed. Yuan Xudong shook his head and smiled:
“A little less.”
"Ten million?"
Duan Jiabao opened her eyes slightly and guessed excitedly. Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes at her and said speechlessly:
"The total is 2.4 million. You will get 200,000 pocket money every month. Spend it sparingly, okay?"
"I know. I won't waste money!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Duan Jiabao curled his lips and said:
"If my family wasn't about to go bankrupt, the dowry my father prepared for me would be several hundred million. Two hundred thousand would be enough for me to buy a few bags!"
"Hey, you think this is too little?"
Seeing Duan Jiabao pouting, Yuan Xudong deliberately teased:
"Of course, you are so fat and you can eat a lot. If you don't have a dowry of several hundred million, who would marry you?"
"you……"
Hearing Yuan Xudong making fun of him, Duan Jiabao suddenly said depressedly:
"Do you think I'm fat?"
"Well, a little bit. You can lose weight. Being fat is not good for your health, don't you think?"
"Hmph, then why did you do that to me last night?"
"Well, I was hungry last night. I was a little hungry, you know?"
Yuan Xudong jokingly said:
"Besides, if we turn off the lights, it will all be the same, right?"
"you……"
Duan Jiabao couldn't help but get angry and said:
"You bastard, I'm with... um..."
Yuan Xudong pressed his lips against Duan Jiabao's, swallowing all the words she was about to say. After a long time, they separated their lips. Looking at the dazed Duan Jiabao, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I was just kidding. Don't be angry. I like girls like you who are plump and round. Does Concubine Yang know that?"
"Humph, you only know how to lie!"
Duan Jiabao rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong, blushed, and ran out of the room, saying:
"I'm going to eat, I won't talk to you anymore!"
"I am coming!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and followed. He was still very proud in his heart. There were four people in Jiang Xiaoguo's dormitory, who were the Four Sons of the Red Mansion that Jiang Xiaoguo often mentioned. Now, weren't they all gathered together?
…
After breakfast, Duan Jiabao found her father alone. She and her father sat on a bench in the villa yard. Duan Jiabao was silent for a while and said:
"I know everything. I heard everything you had with mom in your room last night."
Hearing that Duan Jiabao already knew, Father Duan couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Baby, Dad didn't tell you about this before. It's not that I wanted to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you would worry. Last year, Dad upgraded the factory to be intelligent. Logically speaking, this transformation was very successful, but the market share has not increased."
"Dad, even though our market share is not high, I think there is still a chance. You see, it's just like when I promote a role to an artist. If someone else takes this role, the opportunity is gone. But if my artist is good enough, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I think our toilets are of such good quality, there must be opportunities, right?"
"Well, baby, it's great that you think this way. Daddy didn't give up. You believe in Daddy!"
"Well, I believe you, so you have to believe me too!"
As she spoke, Duan Jiabao returned the bank card her father had given her last night and said with a smile:
"Hey, I'll return this card to you. You can use it to pay the employees. Even though it may not be enough, I hope everyone will understand."
"But baby, you also need money now, your Cornucopia Company..."
"Hey, you can solve your own problems, and I can solve my own problems. We have to work together!"
Duan Jiabao smiled and handed the bank card to her father. Duan's father took the bank card and felt very relieved. His daughter had grown up and knew how to love him. He put his arm around Duan Jiabao's shoulders and hugged her. At this time, Duan Jiabao shrugged her nose, sniffed the cigarette smell on her father and said:
"Dad, you smell like cigarettes. Next time you feel anxious, you can try doing sit-ups."
"good."
…
After staying at Duan Jiabao's home for two days, Yuan Xudong returned to Shenzhen with her.
After night fell, Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang, and Luo Yan gathered together. Duan Jiabao greeted them:
"Come, everyone, have a try. My mother brought it to me."
Looking at the table full of braised food, Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang were about to start eating when Duan Jiabao said sadly:
"It used to be Aunt Wang who did it, but now it's my mom who does it."
Hearing Duan Jiabao say that these stewed dishes were made by her mother, Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang looked at each other. Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Liang Shuang and said:
"Come on, Liangzi, you work so hard, you have to eat more!"
"You work really hard, eat!"
"Shitou, how about you eat something?"
"I, I don't seem to be very hungry, you guys eat!"
"Yuan Xudong you..."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang being modest to each other, who obviously knew the cooking skills of Duan Jiabao's mother, Yuan Xudong directly picked up the chopsticks and took a small bite and said:
"It tastes good. It's a dish cooked by Dabao's father. Would you like to try it too?"
"That's what I was saying. It smells delicious. Let me try it and see how it tastes!"
"I'm suddenly a little hungry too!"
"Leave that chicken drumstick for me, don't touch it, I love eating this big chicken drumstick!"
"Okay, I'll keep it for you!"
After hearing Yuan Xudong say that the food was braised by Duan Jiabao's father, Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang started to pick up the food with their chopsticks, enjoying the food. At this time, Liang Shuang looked at Duan Jiabao and said with concern:
"Dabao, what are your plans next?"
"My dad also asked me this question, and I told him that I would definitely hold on. But, I was thinking on the way, how can I hold on? Although I always said that I am a mature adult, I actually always knew that no matter what happens to me, my dad will cover me. But what about now?"
Having said this, Duan Jiabao changed the subject and said:
"But I've already thought about it. Maybe this is an opportunity. I'm running the company by myself now. Although it should be difficult, don't the chicken soup articles say that the most painful time is when you grow the fastest!"
"Not bad, not bad. I never thought that after encountering such a big setback, you can still be so strong. You can do it, Dabao!"
"Yeah, you're awesome, Dabao!"
"Yeah, you're awesome and strong!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang praising Duan Jiabao so much, Yuan Xudong continued to eat the stewed food while pouring cold water on him:
"The most difficult time? What's difficult about it? Let's not talk about other things. Dabao's house in Shenzhen is worth tens of millions, right? If tens of millions is considered difficult, then those ordinary people who can't afford to buy a house and have to spend a lot of money to rent a house every month, won't they die?"
"And her company, Cornucopia, has absolutely no work to do. It just spends money to support a bunch of lazy people who talk about their dreams but actually don't want to work hard and just want to become famous overnight. With such good treatment , of course they don't want to leave. Otherwise, who would be willing to play house with Dabao? It's better to close down the company as soon as possible. Why waste so much money every month?"
Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang were silent. They didn't say anything, but they knew in their hearts that no matter whether it was work or starting a business, the purpose was to make money. However, Duan Jiabao was pursuing her so-called dream. Not only did she not make any money, she was losing money every day. Her father used to fill the gaps for her, but her family was about to go bankrupt. What should she do in the future?
Seeing that Duan Jiabao's face was not looking good, Yuan Xudong directly said:
"Do you know who reads those chicken soup articles? They are read by those who have no ambition, who daydream all day, and who only want to impress themselves. Difficulties, really difficult people. Have you ever lived in a basement with seven or eight people living in one bedroom, eating instant noodles with boiled water every day?"
At this point, Yuan Xudong paused for a moment, looked at Duan Jiabao's house and said:
"This house of yours is the lifelong dream of 90% of the people in the country, but they can't afford it even if they take out a loan for their whole life. You are better off than 99% of the people in the country, so don't feel sorry for yourself. And you should close down that Cornucopia company as soon as possible. Young people don't work hard, thinking that they can make a lot of money by posing and hip-hop. Those young handsome guys make me sick. Look at the movies and TV series being made nowadays. What kind of shit are they?"
"What do you know?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong belittling his company and those young people chasing their dreams, Duan Jiabao angrily retorted:
"We all have the right to pursue our dreams. Why do you say that to them?"
"Why can't I tell you?"
Yuan Xudong also said angrily:
"How can you be so stupid? Your artists haven't received any work, and you are the only one supporting them. They are worse than extras. They can make some money by playing corpses, right? What have they done to take famous roles? Why do they have to take famous roles? Do you know how to run a company?"
"you……"
"Okay, okay, why are you arguing again?"
Seeing that Duan Jiabao was about to cry because of what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang hurried over to persuade them. While Jiang Xiaoguo was coaxing Duan Jiabao, she rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and said angrily:
"What are you doing? Don't you know what's going on with Dabao?"
"What's going on? Tell me, will your Bluegrass Capital invest in her Cornucopia company?"
"this……"
Seeing Duan Jiabao also looking at him, Jiang Xiaoguo finally gritted his teeth and told the truth:
"Dabao, actually what Yuan Xudong said is right. Your Cornucopia company is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. It doesn't have any projects yet, and it's just supporting a bunch of little brats. Otherwise, why don't we just shut it down?"
"Xiao Guo, are you speaking for him or for me?"
"You, I..."
After looking at Duan Jiabao and then turning his head to look at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately gave up and said:
"Then I don't care. You guys can continue arguing. I'll speak for whoever wins."
"Little Fruit~~"
