On the other side, there is a tea village in western Hunan thousands of miles away.
Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan, led by the village chief, visited tea plantations and tea factories. Seeing the simple and poor life of the villagers and the innocent and pure smiling faces of the children, the balance in their hearts gradually shifted.
At night.
Gu Jia kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Fortunately, she went outside to get some air.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Huan came over and sat down next to her.
"It's true that I made a mistake in this matter. You said you were going to put aside the old me. How could you sign the contract in such a hurry without coming to check it out on the spot? Just because Mrs. Yu gave us the order for fireworks, let me I thought everything my wife gave us was good... People are used to taking shortcuts, and one day they will fall hard." Gu Jia reflected on herself.
"I know that you are doing it for the good of our family." Xu Huanshan comforted.
"But I dug such a big hole..." Gu Jia blamed herself very much.
"But you still want to fill it in and don't want to withdraw, right?" Xu Huanshan knew Gu Jia very well, and he could already guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. "I saw you going out today and seeing so many children, and I knew it."
"I know that it is the best choice for our family to declare bankruptcy now. But I went to Chashan today and saw those children... I have seen it. I really can't convince myself to close the factory immediately. Leave." Gu Jia muttered to herself, feeling full of tangles in her heart.
"It's okay. If anything happens, let's fight together. Isn't it just a mortgage on the house? It's not like we haven't mortgaged it before. Oh, by the way, doesn't Mr. Yang still have some shares in this tea factory? We can discuss it with him and let him invest again. Part of the funds, otherwise the initial investment will be in vain... At worst, we will give you more profits." Xu Huanshan was not very worried.
"I……"
Gu Jia opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.
When she first solicited investment from Yang Chen, she signed a gambling agreement. If the tea factory's monthly income did not meet the standards written in the contract, not only would all his investment be returned, but a certain amount of compensation would also be paid. liquidated damages.
When she signed the financial agreement, she was sure that the tea factory would make money and was full of confidence, so she signed it without hesitation.
Because Xu Huanshan had always disapproved of her opening a tea factory, when she signed the gambling agreement, she did not tell Xu Huanshan at all and acted arbitrarily.
After signing the agreement, she thought to herself that the agreement was already signed anyway, and telling Xu Huanshan could not change any outcome. It would only add to the troubles and might even cause family conflicts.
Therefore, she did not mention this matter to Xu Huanshan, but said that she had obtained an investment from Yang Chen.
So far, Xu Huanshan still doesn't know about the gambling agreement.
Now it seems that whether the tea factory can continue to survive is a question, and it is certain to lose money.
The gambling agreement, of course, was lost.
According to the content of the gambling agreement, she must not only return all the 1.5 million invested by Yang Chen, but also pay more than 500,000 in liquidated damages, plus the tea factory's fine and the 300 needed to put into production. Ten thousand... now she has to spend at least five million at a time to keep the tea factory open.
This amount is not a small amount for their family, and may even affect the normal operation of the fireworks company.
For a moment, Gu Jia didn't know how to speak to Xu Huanshan.
"What's wrong, wife?" Xu Huanshan couldn't help but asked when he saw Gu Jia squeaking. "If you have anything to do, just tell me and we'll face it together."
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to tell Mr. Yang about this." Gu Jia hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell Xu Huanshan about the gambling agreement for the time being.
"Just tell the truth. I believe that with my wife's eloquence, emotion, and benefit, she will be able to convince him." Xu Huanshan said with a smile.
"Well, let's give these tea leaves a new name." Gu Jia nodded, with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Xu Huanshan said.
"The heart of the empty mountain is pure, why not call it empty mountain tea!" Gu Jia said.
…
Noon, Normal University.
Girls dormitory.
The dormitory where Li Shiqing lives is a four-bedroom dormitory. One of her roommates has moved out to share the room with her boyfriend, and the remaining three girls are staying in the dormitory.
Except for Li Shiqing, among the remaining two people, one was playing with his mobile phone and the other was applying a facial mask.
Li Shiqing picked up her phone and checked the time, then called Yang Chen.
"Hey, where are you? The City Bureau's commendation meeting starts at half past two. It's already half past one now. We have to get there early!"
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Don't worry, it won't be too late. Building 6, the girls' dormitory, right?"
"Yes, hurry up!"
"OK, I'll be there in five minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shiqing put her belongings into her bag and planned to go downstairs to wait for Yang Chen.
"Xiaoqing, call your boyfriend?" The girl who was playing with her mobile phone heard Li Shiqing's call and turned to look at her.
"Um!"
Li Shiqing nodded and straightened her appearance in the mirror.
"Is he the boy who saved the bus with you yesterday?" said another girl who was applying a facial mask.
"Yes." Li Shiqing said.
"It's so romantic that a hero saves a beauty. Is your boyfriend handsome?" the girl playing on the phone asked with a gossipy face.
"He's quite handsome. In my eyes, he is the most handsome." Li Shiqing smiled.
"It's over. It seems that Xiaoqing has completely fallen. When are you going to bring him over so we can take a look?" said the girl playing with her mobile phone.
"Let's go another day, I don't have time today." Li Shiqing said.
"What's the use of being handsome. Xiaoqing, let me tell you, don't be fooled by the so-called routines of heroes saving beauties. In this age, the most important thing for a man is to be talented and considerate of girls. Look at your boyfriend. He promised to pick you up, but he still asked you to wait for him. It shows that he has no sense of time. You must reconsider such a graceless man." said the girl applying the facial mask. sarcastic remarks.
"A talented and considerate girl means being rich and willing to spend money for you. Xiaoqing, don't listen to her. I would say the most important thing is to be handsome. Anyway, we are still young now and we are not in a hurry to get married. , first find a good-looking guy and have fun with him for a few years, don’t you think so?” said the girl playing with her mobile phone.
"Haha, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go down first." Li Shiqing had a completely different view of relationships from theirs. She laughed dryly and didn't want to answer them.
As for her boyfriend, it's not his turn for others to gossip.
"Let's go down and see what the boyfriend Xiaoqing is looking for looks like."
"Okay, okay!"
It was boring to stay in the dormitory anyway, so the two girls followed him downstairs.
"Xiaoqing, when will your boyfriend arrive?" asked the girl playing on her mobile phone.
"That's right, the sun is too strong, it's almost going to tan me!" said the girl applying the facial mask.
"Come on, he said he'll be there in five minutes," Li Shiqing said.
"Five minutes? It's already been three minutes. I'm probably late... Look, look, look at that car!" The girl applying the mask suddenly exclaimed and pointed at the car that was slowly approaching in the distance. one car shouted excitedly.
"What car?" The girl playing with her mobile phone raised her hand and glanced.
"That's the one, the Bentley Mulsanne! I heard that this car costs 7 million. Anyone who can afford this kind of car is definitely a billionaire. Look, it's coming towards us. It should be looking for you. It's human. I wonder who is so lucky?" The girl wearing the facial mask said with envy.
"I'm not here to find you anyway, why are you so excited?" The girl playing with her mobile phone rolled her eyes at her.
"What if, my sister is so good-looking, what if he falls in love with me? You can't even think about it, right?" the girl who put on the facial mask replied angrily.
As they spoke, the car got closer and closer, and finally stopped slowly in front of them. Then, a handsome boy who looked like the hero in an idol drama opened the door and got out.
The eyes of the girls who saw this scene all lit up.
"Fortunately, it's less than five minutes, so I'm not late." Yang Chen raised his watch, took a look at it, and smiled at Li Shiqing.
"Uh...is this car yours?" Li Shiqing looked at him in surprise.
"Yes." Yang Chen said.
"Isn't it rented?" Li Shiqing asked again.
"No." Yang Chen said.
"Really?" Li Shiqing confirmed again.
"Why are you lying to me? How about I show you the car book?" Yang Chen rolled his eyes.
"No, no, you are really a billionaire?" Li Shiqing shook her head quickly, looking at him in surprise as if she had discovered a new world.
"I told you a long time ago, but you don't believe it yourself." Yang Chen shrugged.
"Haha, I thought you were joking." Li Shiqing smiled sheepishly, "By the way, these are my two roommates, Xiaowen and Xiaoli."
"Hello, handsome guy!" Xiaowen had already put down her phone and looked at him with an infatuated look.
"Hello, my name is Su Li, and I am Shiqing's best friend." Xiaoli cleaned the mask at lightning speed, gently brushed her hair, and extended her palm to Yang Chen, with a smile on her face. A charming smile.
"Hello."
Yang Chen shook her hand gently, and when he wanted to take it back, he found that Xiaoli was holding his hand tightly and scratching his palm with her fingers.
"Nice to meet you." Xiaoli winked at him before retracting her palm.
"hehe."
Yang Chen didn't have much interest in this kind of beauty who looked like she was produced from a Korean production line. He turned to Li Shiqing and said, "By the way, I have something for you."
"What?" Li Shiqing asked.
"Your clothes." Yang Chen opened the trunk and took out a bunch of large and small bags.
"Ah, these are the clothes I picked out that day!" Li Shiqing took a look and immediately recognized that these were the clothes they bought when they went shopping that day in the time loop.
"Yes, I saw that you liked it very much, so I bought them all for you." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Still a domineering president..." Xiaoli's eyes lit up.
"So manly~" Xiaowen felt like she was about to melt.
"Why did you buy them all, and didn't even ask me for my opinion? Don't you know, girls don't buy clothes to buy clothes, but to enjoy the process of buying clothes." Li Shiqing was moved in her heart, but she deliberately pouted, proudly Said coquettishly.
"Oh, that's it..." Yang Chen threw the bag away and said with a smile, "Then let's go shopping again in the afternoon!"
"Yeah, don't throw it away!" Li Shiqing quickly picked up the bag and stuffed it into Xiaowen and Xiaoli's hands, "Help me take it up!"
"No problem." Xiaowen said.
"Leave it to us, just go on a date and have fun!" Xiaoli showed a smile as refreshing as green tea.
"Thanks."
Li Shiqing nodded to them, and then said to Yang Chen, "Let's go."
"boarding."
Yang Chen opened the car door for her, waited for her to get in, started the car, and drove away.
"goodbye."
After the two left, Xiaoli still waved and smiled in the direction the car left.
"Stop laughing, everyone has left. By the way, didn't you just say that Xiaoqing's boyfriend has no grace?" Xiaowen said.
"People always make mistakes. I admit, it's because I'm blind!" Xiaoli said.
…
Everyone knows the characteristics of government department meetings.
A simple commendation meeting for bravery lasted for two hours.
It was already five o'clock when Yang Chen and Li Shiqing came out of the city bureau.
In addition to a certificate of bravery, each of them also received 30,000 yuan in funding.
Two hours, 30,000 yuan, actually the efficiency is not bad.
Of course, if compared with the Shenhao system, it is far behind.
"It's already five o'clock, let's hurry up and buy clothes, otherwise the mall will be closed!" Outside the city bureau, Yang Chen opened the car door and said to Li Shiqing.
"Are you really going to buy clothes?" Li Shiqing said.
"Of course, I told you to take you shopping for clothes. If you go back empty-handed, wouldn't it make your two roommates laugh?" Yang Chen said.
"It's okay. If they want to laugh, let them laugh. I don't care. You have already bought me a lot of clothes today, so there is no need to buy more." Li Shiqing said.
"You don't care, I do. I can't let my woman lose face in front of others. Besides, which woman would think she has too many clothes? Even if she doesn't buy clothes, buy a bag so that she can match it!" Yang Chen As he spoke, he started the car.
Listening to Yang Chen's love words, Li Shiqing felt as sweet as eating candy. She couldn't hide the smile on her face, and said softly: "I know you are rich, but you can't spend it like this!"
"Isn't a man's money meant for women to spend? If you don't spend it, why should others spend it?" Yang Chen said.
"How dare you!" Li Shiqing snorted and leaned on Yang Chen's shoulder.
About a quarter of an hour later, the two came to Nanjing West Road.
Yang Chen took Li Shiqing shopping, and when he walked into a brand store, the system rang suddenly.
