The Utopia of the Wastewood Prince

Chapter 95

95

Li Jiaoyang didn't have time to find a girlfriend, he didn't even have time to flirt with his family.

He could only pass this matter over with Shen Yihala, and then the two of them stopped talking about it. They should order takeaway, and they should do their homework.Li Jiaoyang went through all the four companies that Shen Yi gave him, and made appointments with them one by one for negotiation. After finishing the work, he felt as miserable as an old father who sold his sons and daughters.

Weekends always go by quickly, Li Jiaoyang was afraid to open his eyes in the morning, and when he opened them, another day of misery would begin.

The ins and outs, including the messy time of contacting and wrangling, were counted in it. It was not until the end of February that a company said that it could sign a TS. There was no pressure on the financing amount. It was basically a market price. Li Jiaoyang was overjoyed, thinking that God would The path of no one.However, after the previous experience of financing failure, he still poured cold water on himself. Last time, TS was signed and it would still be good. thing.

Well, no idea.

However, Li Jiaoyang was the first to tell Shen Yi the news, and Shen Yi's attitude was relatively conservative.

"Aren't you being too cautious?" Li Jiaoyang said to himself, "A hole can be planted twice?"

Shen Yi said: "Theoretically, it is impossible, but... who knows."

"I can't!" Li Jiaoyang said, "I don't believe that all the rich people in China are dead! More than 1000 million is nothing! By the way, do you want to go with me when the time comes?"

"What can I do?" Shen Yi asked.

"Just stay with me." Li Jiaoyang said, "It feels so boring to sign a contract with a middle-aged uncle by myself."

Shen Yi continued to ask: "Are you worried that you can't handle it? Don't you come and go in the wind and rain? Why are you so frustrated this time?"

"Stop asking." Li Jiaoyang waved his hand, "Just say whether you agree to me or not."

"Okay." Shen Yi replied lightly.

They made an appointment with the investment company in each other's conference room to discuss the final details, and everything went smoothly, including the price.It's just that at the end of the day, the other party proposed a non-RMB fund.

Li Jiaoyang and Shen Yi were stunned on the spot.

If the amount of financing is 5000 to [-] million yuan, it is understandable to settle in US dollars. How do you calculate the amount of [-] million yuan?

Good news, congratulations to Mengquan for getting millions of dollars in financing from XX Capital?

It doesn't matter whether the name sounds famous or not, the key is that this matter is too weird.

Li Jiaoyang looked at Shen Yi, Shen Yi shook his head slightly, Li Jiaoyang told the other party to think about it, but the other party didn't force him, his attitude was very friendly, and he promised to give Li Jiaoyang time.

On the way back this time, Li Jiaoyang was swearing at the street, Shen Yi's eardrums were about to explode.

"Good things take time." Shen Yi could only comfort him in this way.

After parting with Li Jiaoyang, Shen Yi searched around by himself, but most of the people he knew were abroad, and the economic situation in foreign countries was quite different from that in China, and the trend of capital was also different. A few chats could at most be exchanged experiences. , which has no effect on the problems they are facing now.

Li Jiaoyang was worried, so why didn't he?Not only because of his feelings for Li Jiaoyang, and because he couldn't bear to see him suffer, but in fact, it was more because Shen Yi himself had put a lot of effort and effort into the development of the cute circle.These are all Li Jiaoyang's careers. Li Jiaoyang wanted to give him a part, but he didn't want it.But in his heart, this is also his career, even his motivation and confidence to be in the cute circle is greater than Li Jiaoyang's.

He doesn't need any money or shares to prove his love, he is not short of money, and his love cannot be measured by money.

Shen Yi lay on the bed with the quilt in his arms and looked through the contact list on his phone, and when he flipped through it, he came across a very eye-catching name.

Tan Minghui.

He slid his finger on the name twice, and after hesitating, he still knocked on the other party's chat interface.There is no polite opening such as "where are you?" "how are you doing?"

Judging from Tan Minghui's usual work and rest time, this is far from sleeping.Sure enough, he quickly replied to the message: "Well, yes. If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall. Are you in trouble?"

"That's right." Shen Yi said, "Financing is not going well recently, and I want to hear the inside story of your circle."

"Is it still your company?" Tan Minghui asked.

"Ah."

"It's not yellow yet?" Tan Minghui was a little surprised.Since he was involved in the Internet scolding war, he has developed a very strong resistance to this type of industry, and the projects he watched are basically not in this area.Of course, if you don't pay attention, you won't know whether the other party is dead or alive. This time when Shen Yi mentioned it, he gave a joking reaction that was enough to make the other party unhappy but not too much.

Shen Yi rolled his eyes across the phone screen: "Hurry up."

Tan Minghui said: "Then tell me about your situation first, I have to prescribe the right medicine?"

Shen Yi roughly told him about his financing experience during this period, which he thought was dramatic enough, but after Tan Minghui finished listening, he told him where it was just now.It is recognized that the money in the hands of capital is tight, but it is unknown to what extent.Take this period of time as an example, many funds’ investment projects were interrupted because the funds in their own hands were not raised. Is it over?

In addition to those big funds, there are many projects that have been discussed and collapsed.

Tan Minghui began to talk about all kinds of alarmist cases to Shen Yi. Shen Yi looked at it as gossip with a blank face. At the end he asked Tan Minghui: "How is your Fengqi doing recently?"

"It's okay, but nothing like this has ever happened before." Tan Minghui confessed, "But it's indeed tightened up a lot compared to last year. Now it's basically a group of top projects to keep warm. The more they hug, the stronger they get. gone."

"Okay." Shen Yi probably finished his research and didn't want to talk any more, "Thank you, let's talk later."

"Hey, don't mind." Tan Minghui stopped Shen Yi, "Have you settled your own affairs?"

"What can I do?" Shen Yi was puzzled.

"Just that white-haired boy, did he get a good night's sleep?" Tan Minghui asked, "For others to care so much?"

Shen Yi was speechless: "None of your business?"

"Oh, that's why I didn't sleep well." Tan Minghui joked, "Do young people nowadays like to play innocent so much?"

"..."

Tan Minghui brought up the old story again: "If you can't do it, don't bother, it's better to let someone else."

"You?" Shen Yi thought for a while, then replied, "If you succeed, I respect you as a hero."

Tan Minghui sent a smile without saying a word.Shen Yi didn't answer, and the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. He tucked himself into the bed and slept, but it wasn't that easy to fall asleep.

Not only the tangled relationship between him and Li Jiaoyang, but also the confused future.He couldn't help but think a lot for Li Jiaoyang, time was already very tight for them, if there were any changes, where would the future be?

He can't think of it.

When life makes a joke for you, it usually makes a second or third joke for you.

After deliberating for a day, Li Jiaoyang decided to agree to the conditions of the investment company. He was thinking how to settle the matter first, so as not to have long nights and dreams.But in such a day, when he contacted the other party, the other party said that he would think about it again.Li Jiaoyang's heart tightened, and he wanted to ask more details, but the other party kept silent.

This "consideration" doesn't matter, basically when you contact again, you will either evade the reason, or simply don't answer the phone.It took Li Jiaoyang a long time to find someone to inquire about. It turned out that when he was thinking about it, another company had already finalized the details before him.

The tight investment market is just like Beijing’s housing rental market. If you sign the contract immediately after viewing the house, it’s hard to say whether the house will still belong to you.

After going back and forth for about a week, Li Jiaoyang completely gave up pestering him.

It's the last month of this year. In the past, at this time, he would hope to have a good rest in the Spring Festival, but now he doesn't think so at all.He hoped that time would pass slowly, the slower the better, so that he would have time to deal with his investment father, at least to find some money...

It's a pity that he can't, he can only watch the time go by, no matter how hard he tries, he can't save it.

Li Jiaoyang began to become restless, even when he was sitting in the office, he could clearly feel his uneasiness.

Other people who didn't know thought that Li Jiaoyang had a nervous syndrome from years ago, and Shen Yi knew the inside story. Seeing Li Jiaoyang like this made him feel bad.

When he got off work, he knocked on Li Jiaoyang's table and asked, "Are you eating?"

"What to eat?" Li Jiaoyang forced a smile and asked him.

"I don't know, you choose."

"Then..." Li Jiaoyang looked at the weather outside, "Let's boil the mutton."

"Okay, you pick a place."

Li Jiaoyang drove Shen Yi to the restaurant he often went to. There were many people eating boiled mutton in winter, and as soon as he entered, a white mist would blow over his face.The waiter invited them to a corner seat by the window, Li Jiaoyang ordered food, put away the menu, and smiled at Shen Yi.

Normally, he would just say something cheerful and happy, but now his mind is blank, and he doesn't know what to say, he just wants to find a corner to stay by himself for a while.If Shen Yi hadn't told him to come out, he would have gone home and fell asleep.

Sleep is the best, you don't have to face reality after you close your eyes.

"I think you are in a particularly bad state recently." Shen Yi said, "Is it difficult?"

Hearing that Shen Yi directly picked up the topic, Li Jiaoyang didn't hide it from him: "It's very difficult, and it's not easy to get along at the end of the year. I've thought about all the ways I can think of, but it's useless."

"Where's your brother?" Shen Yi asked, "He really doesn't intend to help you?"

"Yeah." Li Jiaoyang nodded dejectedly, "Actually, he told me that a long time ago, but I didn't take it seriously. I always think that I'm his own brother, so he can watch me starve to death? It turned out he was actually capable of such a thing. I went up to his house last week to intercede, and guess what he said?"

Shen Yi was very supportive: "What?"

Li Jiaoyang said: "He told me not to dream. He said that he is a man of his word and never jokes with others. And he can save me this time, but he can't save me every time. He always relies on the help of his family." It's not a man's business. If you have the ability, you can live on your own. If you don't have the ability, you should give up and go home early to be a rice bug. My family has money. It doesn't matter if you raise me to do nothing, but if you don't raise me, I am superior. I understand what he means. He is really my dear brother, hoping that I will have a future..."

"Your brother is really a wonderful person." Shen Yi commented.

Li Chenxing looks gentle and polite, but deep down he is a very ruthless person.After he decided to go home, he would be able to break away from his past self, and grow from a rebellious boy to an outstanding businessman.He is ruthless to himself, and he is also ruthless to others, even his own brother is no exception.He hoped that Li Jiaoyang would understand the principle of survival of the fittest, the mall is not just a show, if the car overturns under such a small disturbance, then don't worry about it in the future.Li Jiaoyang could indeed rely on his family, but if he relied on it for a while, did he have to rely on it for the rest of his life?If this is the case, not only will he live under the shadow of Li Chenxing, but he will also never be able to stand up to his father, becoming a waste that can't be glued to the wall.

In this case, he can only submit to his family forever, because he has no ability to break out of the world.All the bullshit that he had boasted to his father back then would turn into water in his head in the end, and he could not prove anything other than proving that he was really useless.

"What?" Li Jiaoyang spoke slowly, "Interested? Introduce you? Hey, I haven't seen my brother find a girlfriend in his thirties. Maybe he's really gay. You and My sister and my brother are fine, anyway, we can still get closer with each other because of internal digestion and digestion."

The water in the copper stove was already boiling, Shen Yi put the meat in, and it was cooked in a few strokes.He picked up chopsticks for Li Jiaoyang and put them in the bowl, then called the waiter: "Here's a bottle, Niu Er."

"Ah?" Li Jiaoyang's eyes widened. In his impression, Shen Yi was not a person who particularly liked to drink, especially after last Christmas, he almost avoided it whenever he could.I don't know what evil I did today, and I came out with a bully.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yi's smile was a little blurred behind the mist, "Aren't you quite drinkable?"

Li Jiaoyang said, "I still have to drive."

"A substitute driver." Shen Yi said, "I'll take a taxi later."

Li Jiaoyang teased him: "A bottle of beef is half a catty each of us, I'm fine, aren't you afraid that you'll make a fool of yourself if you drink too much?"

Shen Yi said without hesitation: "How many times have you made a fool of yourself? I don't care about this 01:30. You talk a lot of nonsense today, are you poor or not?"

"It's worth it." Li Jiaoyang said, "Today, I will risk my life to be with the gentleman, and have fun with our Highness Xiaoniao."

How can he risk his life to accompany a gentleman, as far as his usual way of acting is concerned, it is no problem to hold a bottle by himself, he just echoed Shen Yi and enlivened the atmosphere.

Shen Yi didn't think much about it, he just felt that if this continued, the meal would be too bitter.Li Jiaoyang has been tense recently, he actually wanted to ask Li Jiaoyang to drink a couple of cups to relax.

The two shared their cups in half, and they were not in a hurry to toast. They chatted while eating hot pot, without saying a word, and the wine gradually went down.No matter how much Li Jiaoyang drank or how little he drank, he talked too much when he had a little wine. He swept away his depressed state just now, and chatted as usual, enjoying himself.Shen Yi listened quietly, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Maybe it's because everyone is not drunk, Li Jiaoyang was already drunk when the two came out, but he was still able to walk by himself.Shen Yi was also a little dazed, and wanted to call a taxi with his mobile phone, but Li Jiaoyang refused, so he had to drag Shen Yi to eat.

Beijing's winter nights are colder, and there are fewer people on the road, not to mention this kind of small alley, Li Jiaoyang just walked next to Shen Yi, this road seems to be endless.

"Huh?" Li Jiaoyang felt a chill on the tip of his nose, and looked up, "Is it snowing?"

There were many white spots in the red night sky illuminated by neon lights. Shen Yi took a closer look: "Well, it's snowing."

"The weather forecast didn't say it's going to snow today." Li Jiaoyang groaned when he drank too much, "It's so annoying, why is it snowing? It's so heavy... What if I get wet?"

He was talking nonsense on purpose, and Shen Yi followed him and said, "Then let's hide under the eaves over there."

"Okay! Let's go hide..." Li Jiaoyang pulled Shen Yi to the side of the eaves like a cheerful puppy.

It is always very quiet when it snows, as if there are only the two of them in this world, and this one roof is everything.The snow came suddenly and fiercely. The big snowflakes covered the sky and the ground turned white in a short while.Li Jiaoyang stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, and before they completely melted, he stuck out his tongue to lick them.

"Stop licking, aren't you stupid?" Shen Yi held him back, "The snow on your head is dirty."

"Oh." Li Jiaoyang obediently dusted his hands and looked outside, "I don't know when it will stop."

Shen Yi finally couldn't help exposing him: "It's not raining. Shall we go for a walk in the snow?"

"No, take a break." Li Jiaoyang said, "Midlife crisis, I don't want to go home."

"Why?" Shen Yi asked.

"When I go home, I'll be alone, and I'll think wildly about how I'll live tomorrow." Li Jiaoyang said, "I feel like I can't breathe because of all these pressures, it's uncomfortable."

He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, which sounded very pitiful.Shen Yi sighed silently, took a step closer to Li Jiaoyang, and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Actually, you don't need to stay with me." Li Jiaoyang said, "I know you are nice to me, but you don't have to be nice to me."

"..."

Li Jiaoyang stood a little tired, squatted down and looked up at the sky and said, "Recently, I always fantasize about whether I will be alone in the end. By the way, do you know? Tong Yu told me that he might resign and prepare for the exam with peace of mind. I hadn’t thought about many problems before, and I was always willing to face them when they came to a head. When he revealed the news to me, I was suddenly a little confused. It turns out that there is really no feast that lasts forever. No matter how good the game is, no matter how close you are It’s impossible to live a lifetime. Isn’t it sung in the song ‘The stranger in the coming year is the dearest so-and-so yesterday’? This sentence is all in my mind these days...”

"Don't think too much." Shen Yi said, "It's just that you've been too tired recently, and many things happened at the same time."

"Then what about you?" Li Jiaoyang looked up to Shen Yi, "Will you leave me?"

"..."

Li Jiaoyang smiled miserably, then buried his face in his arms, the voice came from below, sounding muffled: "Hey, you...you should find a boyfriend quickly."

"..." Shen Yi clenched his fist and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"In this way, if you leave me one day, I can find a reason to convince myself." Li Jiaoyang replied, "I don't want you to be snatched away by anyone, but if it's a relationship, I can't stop it. "

Shen Yi's fist clenched even tighter, he gritted his teeth to remain calm, and asked, "And then?"

"Then?" Li Jiaoyang didn't know what this meant, so he could only continue, "Oh, by the way, my mother wanted you to come to my house for dinner, and she said she wanted to meet at the end of the year, but I gave it back. I said We broke up, she was so angry that she wanted to kill me, and asked me why such a good girl wanted to break up, why can't I get along? I really don't know how to answer her... Hey, Xiaoniao, I'm so sorry, I asked you to help me I've been acting for so long. I often think, if only you were a girl..."

"If I was really a girl, would you like me?" Shen Yi felt uncomfortable being blocked by Li Jiaoyang's words, and asked him in a daze.

"Hmm." Li Jiaoyang didn't even think about it, but immediately felt something was wrong, looking at Shen Yi, "Huh?"

Shen Yi bent down and grabbed Li Jiaoyang's collar and pulled him up. Li Jiaoyang's eyes went dark when he got up suddenly. When he recovered, Shen Yi had already pressed him against the wall.

"Ah what?" Shen Yi stared at him fiercely, "I'm asking you something!"

"What... what..."

"If I was a woman, would you be able to like me?" Shen Yi repeated.His face was red, whether it was from the cold or from the wine.

"En." Li Jiaoyang nodded.Although this idea is really obscene, he doesn't really want to deceive Shen Yi.

"But I'm not, I'll never become a woman in my life." Shen Yi put more strength into his hands, and his arms were almost pressed against Li Jiaoyang's chest, making Li Jiaoyang feel a little dizzy and out of breath.

"Little bird, you..."

"Did you drink too much this time?" Shen Yi straightened Li Jiaoyang's face with both hands to make him face himself, "Can you see who I am?"

Li Jiaoyang could no longer understand the development of the plot: "Why do you ask such a question? I don't know who you are yet?"

"Okay." Shen Yi nodded, held Li Jiaoyang's face and kissed it.

Without any warning or reason, he drank too much and was driven crazy by Li Jiaoyang's words.He doesn't want to worry about himself, that's all.

Li Jiaoyang's already somewhat confused mind went blank in an instant. He didn't even know who he was and where he was. A beating heart also showed that he was alive.

Shen Yi... Kissing him?

why?

Messed up.

In the first second when consciousness returned to his brain, Li Jiaoyang pushed Shen Yi away. He rushed into the heavy snow and ran forward desperately. His breath jumped out of his mouth. He couldn't hear or see anything. get away.

He was unconscious, but it was such an unconscious action that made Shen Yi stunned.Shen Yi took two steps forward as usual. He was standing in the snow, with large flakes of snow sticking to his hair and eyelashes.It shouldn't be cold when it snows, but he felt very cold.

Emotionally, Shen Yi felt that he had never done a single thing right. Either he never said anything and digested it slowly, or he couldn't help but come up with some unprepared stimulation just like today. .Li Jiaoyang's reaction was no different from what he predicted in his mind before, so he just pushed him away and ran away.

He is such a complete loser, and he doesn't deserve any love.
