After searching for more than half a month and looking at countless office buildings, Yin Qianpin finally settled on a five-story white building in Linjiang in the city center as the new office location of the drama troupe.

"You robbed the bank?" Deng Jing couldn't help asking when he heard that he bought the whole building at once.

Linjiang is an area where every inch of land is expensive. Although the repertory theater troupe has always made good profits because of Yin Qianpin's fame and status, the purchase of the entire building will not be a small sum.

"This area is designated to appreciate in value in the future, and it is not my personal property. The more expensive the property of the troupe, the more expensive it is."

"So you plan to organize us to rob the bank together?" Deng Jing asked solemnly.

"Can you shut up." Yin Qian feigned anger, and threw a ball of paper at him, "I'm robbing some bank, and if I have money, I'll send it to my door...I'm not asking you to choose an office, and waste your time here."

Deng Jing curled his lips and turned to call Sheng Min: "Xiao Min, which one do you choose? I want you next door."

"Huh?" Sheng Min poked his head out and waved, "Here."

"I thought you would choose Linjiang." Deng Jing went in and took a look, not knowing what was so special about this room, but Sheng Min chose it, and he immediately put his name tag in the next room.

"The scenery here is good."

"Really?" Deng Jing was skeptical, walked to the window, there was no vegetation, and saw rows of high-rise buildings across the road, he didn't realize it for a while, "Where is it good?"

The logo of the software park shone golden in the sun. This new office is not far from the software park, and it took only a quarter of an hour to walk there. Sheng Min walked around all the rooms, and only this one could fullyI saw Building C where Yuan Yi was.

He smiled unconsciously: "Anywhere is fine."

After deciding on the office location, the matter of moving was soon put on the agenda. Although Yin Qianpin is not a superstitious person, he still chose a date for the big event.

Sheng Min didn't have many things in the office, apart from scripts and books, there were only a few pots of green plants.Soon they were all sent to the car. Thinking of Deng Jing's strange things in that room, he was about to go upstairs to see if he needed help, but the phone rang again. It was Yang Xu's call.

Complained to him that the bookstore opened up, but the business was not smooth at all.

"I thought that I only need to read comics every day to collect money, but they evaded orders! What's going on with the kids now, I wasn't like this at all when I was young..."

Sheng Min laughed.

"Brother..." Yang Xu called him embarrassedly.

"If you don't want to open this shop anymore, I can introduce you to Yinying's. Her assistant has just left her job. She has a good temper and is generous to people around her. She is also popular now. You will find it easier to work." Sheng Min said seriously, "If you want to come back and follow me, that's fine too. The drama is about to go on tour, and I really need an assistant."

Yin Qianpin was still talking to him about this two days ago, and the troupe planned the cost for him and Deng Jing, and asked him to find an assistant by himself.

Yang Xu immediately wanted to answer when he heard the words, Sheng Min stopped him: "Listen to me first, I don't have any other staff members now, so the things you have to handle will inevitably be more complicated and trivial. If you still want to go up, follow the hiddenYing is better than following me, you have to think clearly."

"I'll follow you!" Yang Xu replied immediately.

"Let you think about it."

"I've thought about it."

Sheng Min had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll ask the troupe's administration to contact you to apply for employment..."

Yang Xu was in a hurry to respond, and while he was talking, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, with a surprised tone.

"I have something to do, I'll call you later." Sheng Min hung up the phone and turned around.

The girl behind her was carrying a cello, her face was flushed, she looked vaguely familiar, Sheng Min thought about it carefully, and smiled: "Miss Zhou, long time no see."

"I thought you didn't remember me." Sitting down in the office, Zhou Jia still couldn't hide his excitement.

"I remember." Sheng Min said softly.

It was still summer, and he and Li Xuan were still swapping back then. In a blink of an eye, winter was coming to an end.

"Are you here to perform today?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jia nodded, ""Rachmaninoff" was originally the work of my colleague. She was sick, and I also covered a few shows for her... I heard that you are on the tenth floor, but usuallyThere is no way to go up there, and I have never met...you..."

Zhou Jia said that he couldn't control his emotions, and unconsciously choked up, "Are you really going to stop acting in the future..."

"Look at the chance, at least now I'm doing what I like."

Sheng Min said softly, and pushed the water glass in front of her to her: "It's cold, drink some tea to warm up, moving around is messy these days, and there is no other treat."

Zhou Jia choked and took a sip of water. Sheng Min's calm voice made her calm down slowly, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "Actually, for our fans, it's best if you are happy. At that time, you didn't renew your contract, and we allI'm glad...it's just that I don't see you often."

"If you are willing to come to the premiere of "Not Just Mountain", can I ask someone to send you two tickets? When the time comes, you and Qi Boyuan will come together."

"No, no, no." Zhou Jia waved his hands again and again, "Our support club has agreed that you must support your first play, and all the tickets have been booked... But I really have no way to come.After the show is over, I'm ready to go abroad...and."

This time she paused a bit longer: "Bo Yuan and I have already broken up."

"Sorry." Hearing this, Sheng Min said subconsciously, but he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"It's okay." Zhou Jia said, originally there was no need to talk about private matters with outsiders, but she liked Sheng Min for many years, seeing him always felt like a very close friend, and she was willing to talk to him.

"I don't know if you've heard from Li Xuan...you should still be in touch?"

Sheng Min was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Yes."

Zhou Jia smiled lightly and lowered his eyes, probably remembering that the four of them had dinner together the last time they met, and his expression was somewhat melancholy.

"Bo Yuan proposed to me, I... I was very panicked at the time."

Zhou Jia frowned slightly, "It may not be appropriate to say this, but I always feel that marriage brings too much bondage. I don't want to, at least not now... But no matter how I explain it, we really don't trust each other as much as before.gone."

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of the teacup: "It didn't take long... The school arranged for me to study in the United States for two years. This is a very good opportunity for me, and I don't want to give up. Two years in different places, separated by time difference,There are too many variables. Bo Yuan is very difficult to accept... I asked him if he could go with me, his resume can apply to a very good school, but he is not willing, he wants to stay in China and start a business with Li Xuan."

Hearing this, Sheng Min couldn't help being taken aback: "... Hasn't he already resigned?"

"Resign?" Zhou Jia looked surprised, "Impossible, I met Bo Yuan last week... I even asked him, and he always said so."

"Maybe I heard it wrong." Sheng Min pursed her lips and covered it softly.

"It should be a mistake." Zhou Jia didn't doubt it. "They have cooperated for a long time. Bo Yuan looks good-tempered, but he is actually a very conceited person. In the two years since we first fell in love, he always complained to me and hated me.Teachers and classmates are all idiots, they feel that they are number one in everything, and then they are devastated when they meet Li Xuan." She complained half-truthfully, "Although I sometimes feel that he is too kind to Li Xuana little……"

Sheng Min didn't know what kind of expression to make, so he could only smile along with it, but Zhou Jia sighed quietly again, his eyes dimmed: "Of course, in fact, I can't ask him to do so, I chose my career,He picked his career, and that's fair."

The words are free and easy, but the look is always somewhat lost.

"The right person will always meet again." Sheng Min comforted her softly.

Zhou Jia smiled, feeling lost: "I hope."

Li Xuan came to pick him up in the evening, and Sheng Min talked about it with him.

"Oh." Li Xuan replied flatly.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Sheng Min looked at him inquiringly, "Why aren't you surprised that they broke up? You know?"

Li Xuan was noncommittal, and Sheng Min didn't delve into it. After thinking about it, he said, "I heard from Zhou Jia that Qi Boyuan doesn't seem to have any other arrangements now..."

"So?" Li Xuan stopped the car at the red light, pinched Sheng Min's face, and smiled, "What do you mean?"

"What you mean is what I mean." Sheng Min hooked his fingers and told him a tongue twister, "When are you going to go find Qi Boyuan and go back to the company?"

Li Xuan glanced at him, and Sheng Min said slowly: "Don't you have this plan?...I heard Song Wen call you last time, saying that the company has too many things to do, and you have to manage both technology and businessIt’s too hard, I suggest you hire another high-level manager to come in, and I recommended several to you, and you rejected them all, and they were not even allowed to come for interviews.”

"I can do more work."

"But my heart hurts." Sheng Min said solemnly, patted his arm to indicate that he could start, "My boyfriend is working so hard, can more than one person help?... I also have a problem with your company."I don't really know. Actually, before Zhou Jia said today, I didn't realize that you were probably reserving a place for Qi Boyuan. When she said that, I think..."

"What do you think?"

"Since you have this idea, you should hurry up and come back to Qi Boyuan." Sheng Min blinked, "How about it?...Give me some face?"

Li Xuan laughed: "It's none of your business to give you face."

"Are there any things about you that have nothing to do with me?" Sheng Min asked back.

"No." Li Xuan pretended to think seriously for a while, "Alright then, I will give you a favor."

Sheng Min suppressed a smile and nodded in a good temper: "Thank you."

Li Xuan couldn't help but also laughed, turned on the right turn signal, and turned onto the overpass, but he answered his first question: "There is something wrong with his relationship with Zhou Jia, I actually know it......At that time, he said he was going to leave, but I didn't stay any longer, and it was not fair to him to put all the public and private matters on him, although the situation later was not necessarily good."

Sheng Min was slightly taken aback by these words, but Li Xuan didn't continue, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Zhou Jia is on a flight to the United States on Wednesday morning, right?"

"No wonder you agreed so readily." Sheng Min recovered his senses with a smile, and said softly, "So it wasn't for my face."

The wings were hidden in the clouds, and in a moment, they were no longer visible.The weather is a bit gloomy today, which is a very suitable day for saying goodbye.

Qi Boyuan withdrew his gaze and walked out of the airport, but couldn't help but took out his phone and found the photo of Zhou Jia playing the cello at the welcome party.His finger couldn't press the delete button for a long time, and suddenly bumped into someone head-on.

"I'm sorry." He didn't even look up, and stepped away to the left, and the person opposite blocked him again.Qi Boyuan sighed, and backed away to the right, but was blocked again.

"Hey, let me say..." He raised his eyes impatiently, and the words were cut off in half.

"A serving of three shrimp noodles."

Sitting down at a Soviet-style noodle restaurant near the airport, Li Xuan raised his hand to signal the waiter to come and order, and then asked Qi Boyuan, "What do you eat?"

"Didn't you have breakfast?" Although Qi Boyuan didn't think it was a suitable environment for conversation, he really didn't expect that he really wanted to eat, so he couldn't help asking Li Xuan.

"No." Li Xuan said, "Have you eaten?"

It was so calm that it made people short of breath, Qi Boyuan glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"Then he doesn't need it." Li Xuan handed back the menu.

"Eel noodles." Qi Boyuan interrupted him by gritting his teeth, turned to the waiter and said, "Cook it longer."

It was almost ten o'clock, and there were not many people in the store. After ordering, it was delivered quickly.

Qi Boyuan was really a bit hungry, thinking of Zhou Jia leaving today, he was really not in the mood to eat last night.Just being pissed off by Li Xuan made him lose his appetite, and he ate half of the bowl before he knew it.

On the opposite side, Li Xuan always ate fast, and had already put down his chopsticks. When Qi Boyuan finished eating the last pinch of vegetables, he asked in a very casual tone, "When are you going back to the company?"

Qi Boyuan froze for a moment, then said slowly, "I didn't say I wanted to go back."

"Are you planning to rest all the time and stop working?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Qi Boyuan asked: "I can't find a job in any other company except Yuanyi?"

"I can find it." Li Xuan shrugged, "But it's not that you didn't go, and it's impossible for you to go."

With such certainty, Qi Boyuan almost laughed out of anger, but Li Xuan also smiled, a very stretched smile.So no matter what the original intention was, at the end, there was a sense of oblivion.

"It's not a big problem if you don't want to come back directly." After laughing, Li Xuan said, "You can go to Song Wen's company to apply for a job, and I will ask him to send you over."

Neuropathy.

Qi Boyuan scolded him in his heart, remembering that when he first met, it was Li Xuan who won the gold medal in the programming competition.Since the establishment of this competition, it is the first time that a student from outside the Department of Computer Science has won this award.

Qi Boyuan was curious, and refused to accept it at first, but when he found Li Xuan's entries and read the works, the feeling of dissatisfaction disappeared. There were only four words in his mind, and there were others outside.

He even wondered if this was something Li Xuan made by himself, impulsively inquired around, and ran to the library to find someone.

"What's wrong?" was the first thing they said.

Qi Boyuan was a little embarrassed when asked: "I'm from the Department of Computer Science..."

"I know." At that time Li Xuan was more sharp than now, and his whole body was covered with four words, arrogant, "On the list of winners, your name and photo are under me."

Qi Boyuan didn't know what to say anymore, turned around and wanted to leave, Li Xuan suddenly called him again: "I have a job in hand, time is tight, do you want to come together?"

Qi Boyuan turned his head away, in fact, he wanted to mock him at the moment: "You are so good, can't you finish it?"

"That's right." Li Xuan said frankly, "Will you come or not."

It was a very insincere invitation, but he unexpectedly agreed, and then the whole college time with his partner was about to pass.

"If you are frustrated in love, you can't also be frustrated in career." Li Xuan said lightly.

Qi Boyuan sneered: "You are both proud."

"Good luck." Li Xuan was not humble either.

"Shouldn't your attitude be correct? Are you here to invite me back now?"

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows: "If thinking this way makes you feel more comfortable, then it's fine."

Qi Boyuan smiled a little when he heard the words, but in fact he was not very happy.

"Why I left, we are all clear." After a while, he said, but the next sentence was not about Zhao Jizhe, "Now you want me to go back, but in fact you didn't keep me at all."

"I know, you really wanted to split up, at least when you said you were going to leave." Li Xuan was silent for a moment, "But if I keep you, once I open my mouth, you will most likely forget about it...youDon't look at me like that, I think I understand you."

Qi Boyuan shook his head: "We can't break up the partnership either... You gave all the funds of the company, and you paid my salary and bonus quite generously. Strictly speaking, you are my boss, and IIt's your employee."

"Do you really think so?" Li Xuan asked.

"I should think so. You know me well, but I don't know you that well."

Li Xuan just smiled: "Of course you know me very well, for example, what you said is right, far away is not that important to me."

Qi Boyuan's complexion changed visibly with the naked eye, but Li Xuan didn't seem to notice it, and continued: "Even if I go back, I will still let Zhao Jizhe come to the company. I know he is an unstable factor, and I have no way to deal with this matter."You explain, it doesn’t work now...Of course things turned out like that in the end, it’s not what I want, believe it or not. But I’m really prepared, the company will suffer losses, this pointI can’t deny that, and it’s the least acceptable for you.”

He paused for a moment: "You have deeper feelings for this company than I do."

"You think it's ridiculous?" Qi Boyuan looked at him.

Li Xuan shook his head: "I feel sorry."

Since the conversation so far, this is the only thing Li Xuan said as an apology. Qi Boyuan's lips moved, but he didn't answer.

There was a wind blowing outside the window, blowing in from the door that was not closed tightly, and the bamboo decorative curtain rolled up and slapped the glass, making an abrupt sound.

Li Xuan raised his hand and pressed his temple: "You asked me why I didn't keep you, because the company's affairs are not only consuming your energy, but also consuming your emotions. Besides, let me be frank, Yuan Yi was really bad at that time,I don't know if that node can survive. It is unacceptable to you."

"Can you?" Qi Boyuan asked stubbornly.

"Of course. What is Yuanyi?" Li Xuan smiled disapprovingly, "Qi Boyuan, do you really think that once Yuan collapses, it will be over? I never think so. As long as there are people, can't the next Yuan be created?"Come?" He tilted his body slightly, and the expression between his brows was so calm that he said: "Let me ask you in other words, if Song Wen's funds hadn't come in, Yuanyi would not have been in the current state and had completely closed down. I want to start from scratch.Start to start a business again, will you come back?"

Qi Boyuan paused for a moment, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip of water: "The idiot just went back."

Li Xuan smiled and did not comment.

Qi Boyuan said again: "You really should be the head of a pyramid scheme, there is always a lot to say."

"It mainly depends on what you believe." Li Xuan shrugged.

The originally frozen atmosphere seemed to relax from a certain point.After finishing the glass of water, Qi Boyuan finally said, "I'll think about it."

"Think about it." Li Xuan glanced at his watch and stood up, "Is one day enough? I'll let them clean the office for you, it's all dusty."

Qi Boyuan rolled his eyes: "At least a month to start, you can send me your salary first."

"Did you never look at the card after you left? In which month was your salary cut off?" Li Xuan said, "Hurry up, "Reverse Track" will be launched early next month, and we must prepare for publicity."gone."

Qi Boyuan gritted his teeth: "Without my radish, you can't make a banquet, right? Then who is in charge of publicity now?"

"I."

"Aren't you supposed to be in charge of internal beta adjustments now?"

"It's all me." Li Xuan said naturally.

Qi Boyuan cursed secretly, but stood up unconsciously in the next second: "It's rare to save labor costs like you. You can do the work of ten people by yourself, right?... Now go back to the company? I'll go with you."

Li Xuan laughed and tossed the key to him casually: "You can just drive my car. Song Wen just happened to come to lay out the plan for the first quarter in the afternoon. The materials are on my desk. Take a look. You will drive in the afternoon.I'm going to Xinge."

The lawyer found Li Xuan a week ago with an inheritance agreement. Xinge's shares were all in Shu Xin's name, and he was the only designated heir.

"Should I be able to refuse?"

"reject?!"

The lawyer has served the Li family for many years, and he handled Li Xuan's adoption procedures single-handedly, and he is the one who knows the identity of his adopted son best.On the way here, couldn't help sighing, how could have such good luck, get such a large family business, equity, villa, and high deposits...

"Legally, yes, yes..." he stammered.

"Where's Li Minger?" Li Xuan asked again.

Shu Xin's will was obviously made a long time ago, but Li Mingge's presence should not allow the will to appear in front of him smoothly.

The lawyer thought about it: "Mr. Li...has some other arrangements."

"An underground arrangement?" Li Xuan smiled.

The lawyer didn't reply, but nothing was said.In the state of the funeral home that day, Li Mingge was already dying.

When he arrived downstairs at Xinge, Zhou Qi was already standing at the door. He was looking at Li Xuan's car, but he didn't expect a taxi to stop right in front of him.

Zhou Qi rushed up to meet him with a respectful attitude: "You are here, the directors and the heads of the business departments are waiting."

"Why only talk about them, haven't you been waiting for a long time?" Li Xuan smiled.

The cold sweat on Zhou Qi's back fell almost instantly. All the things that happened to Yuan Yi in the past, including Zhao Jizhe, were all done by him.Ever since he knew that Xinge's shareholding was under Li Xuan's name, he had been panicking and thinking about whether to resign, but he had no choice but to endure it.

"Just kidding..."

"We don't know each other well, so we don't joke around." Li Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, looked at Zhou Qi's pale face, and finally expressed kindness, "Lead the way."

Without visiting the company, the elevator went all the way to the top floor, and there were endless discussions in the office at the end.

"Why isn't the prince here yet?" His tone was somewhat disdainful.

"It's not counted as the crown prince, it's already reached the throne."

"I haven't experienced it before, and I don't understand the business, so I don't know if I can sit still."

They talked and laughed with different expressions, but when the door was pushed open, they restrained their expressions and cast inquiring gazes together.

Zhou Qi had already stepped forward and pulled out the chair, but Li Xuan did not sit down.

Calm and indifferent eyes swept over everyone, many of them were old people who followed Li Mingge, and they would not obey him.

"Mr. Li." Someone finally opened his mouth, and the rest of the people followed suit.

The attitude is less respectful and more tentative.

Li Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, did not answer, and sat down slowly: "It's been a long time."

"Let me introduce you." As soon as he arrived, the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhou Qi hurriedly talked to Li Xuan, pointing to the first person on the left, "This is..."

"No need." Li Xuan raised his hand, "As for the vice president and person in charge of finance, I know."

He leisurely checked all the names and positions of all the people, and said in a leisurely manner: "I am not here to meet with you. My time is very precious, and there are fewer people who can use it in Xinge. I must talk about it once I come here.Work, this should have been notified by email yesterday."

Saying that, he pointed to the chief financial officer next to him: "Then let's start with you."

"I..." The chief financial officer was taken aback for a moment, Li Xuan was just a brat in their eyes, who would care about his email?It was still today, and the secretary informed me that there was a meeting.

"For half an hour each, tell me about this year's work, how it differs from the goal at the beginning of the year, and what your plans are for next year." Li Xuan kindly reminded him, "The Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, and your subordinates should have reported a lot of these things.all over."

"This..." The chief financial officer coughed, "The income target set for this year is..." He thought about it carefully and reported the number.

"Isn't this the goal at the beginning of the year?" Li Xuan supported his head, "Didn't it be changed a round when I looked back in May? It was raised by 10%."

"Yes, yes... I haven't finished yet." The Chief Financial Officer's attitude was subconsciously respectful.I couldn't help cursing myself as the chicken that killed the chicken to show the monkey.

"It's okay." Li Xuan smiled lightly and let him go, "If you can't remember, I think you have a lot of materials for the report. Let's cast a screen and talk about it for half an hour."

In this way, he went through the situation of each department one by one. Those who had prepared in advance were fine, but when it came to the financial manager, none of them could fool them. Even the R&D department couldn't pass the customs smoothly.

"Sorry." Li Xuan interrupted with a smile, "I can understand, so I will report everything truthfully. Although I don't like it very much, I did study physics when I was in college, and I know a thing or two about optics."

The R&D manager's face turned pale.

The meeting didn't end until it was almost dark.

Li Xuan looked at the people in charge who had completely changed their demeanor: "I've been delayed for a long time today, and I'll finish with a few more words. I have limited energy, and I don't have much time to take care of Xinge. I will arrange for a professional manager to take over as soon as possible.No adjustments will be made for the time being. From now on, I will come here once every month at the beginning of the month, and I will be in this meeting room. It is too wasteful of your time to wait for everyone to arrive. Come one by one according to today’s order, and go through the work of last month in turn.One quarter of an hour. If you need my approval and signature in your usual work, ask Zhou Qi to contact me."

Zhou Qi was startled, Li Xuan's posture just now thought he was about to be fired, so he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Li Xuan took a sip of tea: "Some time ago, due to various situations, various departments were slack, I know. But it has nothing to do with me, I don't care about it and I won't look back. This year's year-end awards will be based on the performance of the year-end goals.Send it to everyone. There is nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."

He stood up and walked to the door. As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and smiled softly: "By the way, there is one more thing. There is no such thing as Mr. Li. There is only one Mr. Li in this company."

After leaving Xinge, Li Xuan went straight to the coffee shop downstairs, and there were two directors from a physics experiment base in the northwest in the box.

Li Xuan signed a contract with them, donating all the profits of Xinge Optics every year in the future as scientific research funds for astrophysics research.

"Your mother is a very good colleague of ours, and now there are work photos she took while she was pregnant with you in the base." Walking out of the coffee shop, the person in charge shook hands with him and said goodbye, "Thank you for your donation, we will make good use of itFunds, to push the research of astrophysics forward, even if it is a small step."

Li Xuan nodded: "I think this is also her real dream."

"Snowing!"

The child passing by the door suddenly cried out happily.

"I don't think you're driving?" the person in charge asked him politely, "I'm afraid it's not easy to call a car when it's snowing. Do you want to give you a ride?"

"No need." Li Xuan smiled, "Someone is here to pick me up."

At the corner, Sheng Min's car could already be seen approaching. Under the light of the car, snowflakes fell one after another, covering everything in layers.

This is the last snow of this year. After it melts, it will be a brand new spring.

The author has something to say:

First of all, I slipped and knelt, it wasn't the long-wearing lock, it was me who was writing.It was mentioned in the comment area, but it was pushed to the back, maybe you didn't see it.Countdown to completion: Two.
