Chapter 610 A sudden turn of events
Duan Jiabao placed all the braised dishes he brought from home on the table, and then the three of them ate while chatting.

At this time, Liang Shuang tasted a bite of the dish, and then asked with concern:

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

"My dad also asked me this question, and I told him that I would definitely hold on!" Duan Jiabao put down his chopsticks and sighed:
"But on the way back, I thought about how I was going to hold on!"

"Although I always say that I am an adult, I have always known that no matter what I do, my father will always be there to back me up."

Then Duan Jiabao smiled bitterly and said, "But now I am really the only one~!"

Liang Shuang interrupted immediately after hearing this: "Who said that? Aren't we still here?"

Then he patted his long legs and said, "If you need anything, just tell me at any time. I have a big leg for you to hug!"

Jiang Xiaoguo also stretched out her short legs and said, "I can give you a hug even if I have mosquito legs!"

"It's great to have you!" Duan Jiabao looked at the comfort of her two best friends, smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I've thought it through. Maybe this is an opportunity for me. I'm running the company by myself now. Although the pressure is great, don't the chicken soup articles say that the most painful time is the happiest time for your growth!"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang applauded immediately after hearing Duan Jiabao's words:
"I never thought that you, Dabao, could be so strong after facing such a big setback. I had prepared a lot of words to comfort you, but in the end, none of them worked!"

Liang Shuang also gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Indeed, it is truly amazing. It seems that our Dabao has really grown up!"

Then Liang Shuang thought of something and continued to ask:

"By the way, what about your performance? Are you still going to do it?"

"Let's do it!" Duan Jiabao said confidently:
"Not only do I have to do it, I have to do it well. I have to push Yin Shang and the other five into the market to make money, and then the company can be fully operational!"

"How much money do you need? I can lend it to you first!" Liang Shuang asked generously.

"Forget it. My dad has already borrowed a lot of money. I don't want to borrow money from others anymore!" Seeing Liang Shuang and Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to say something, Duan Jiabao immediately said:
"Don't worry, I've actually made a plan. I'm going to rent this house out. The rent is about 10,000 yuan. Even if I pay a lower price, it will still be at least 100,000 yuan a year. If I sell all these messy things at home, it will be enough to sustain me for a while!"

Liang Shuang and Jiang Xiaoguo looked at each other after hearing this and said nothing more.

In fact, they all wanted to persuade Duan Jiabao to close the company. After all, he was employing so many people. Since Duan Jiabao already had a plan, they couldn't say anything more.

However, Liang Shuang still said:

"When you rent out your house, you can move in with me!"

"I don't want to live with you!" Duan Jiabao said with a look of disgust: "If Mr. Zhao Youxiu goes to your place, I don't want to be a light bulb!"

However, when Liang Shuang heard Duan Jiabao talking about Zhao Youxiu, he kept silent. He couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart and regretted not following Zhao Youxiu to Beijing.

However, Duan Jiabao and Jiang Xiaoguo did not notice Liang Shuang's abnormality and continued chatting.

When Jiang Xiaoguo heard Duan Jiabao say that he didn't want to live with Liang Shuang, she suddenly remembered that there was a small room in the house she rented.

"Dabao, you can live with me!" Jiang Xiaoguo sat up straight and said:
"I rented the master bedroom to the landlord's daughter. There is also a small bedroom, if you don't mind!"

Duan Jiabao also became interested after hearing this, so he asked about the price:
"How much does it cost per month?"

Jiang Xiaoguo said generously:

"Don't worry about it now, just move in. Pay me when you're rich!"

"No, you can't affect my independence!" Duan Jiabao immediately objected when he heard it.

Jiang Xiaoguo was speechless. She really wanted to help Duan Jiabao, but she also knew that if she didn't take her money, it would definitely hurt Duan Jiabao's self-esteem.

So Jiang Xiaoguo reluctantly found an excuse and said:
"How about this, the small room was originally 500 yuan, and the landlord paid 500 yuan more for the master bedroom, so he should pay yuan less for the small room!"

"That's great!" Duan Jiabao then said, "Then tell that little landlord!"

Jiang Xiaoguo then picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to his landlord Ding Yixuan.

On the other side, Ding Yixuan is planning his next novel and communicating with his editor.

After receiving a WeChat message from Jiang Xiaoguo, she learned that he was her roommate in college and that he had good living habits, so naturally she had no objection.

······
It's a new day and everyone is busy with their lives.

Jiang Xiaoguo was busy writing the business plan for Kongshan Tea, and was very busy.

Liang Shuang finally signed a contract with "Lan", but as the protagonist she had to attend the celebratory party.

They were originally planning to go to Beijing after the cocktail party, but at this time Jiang Lanzhou said that there were investors ready to invest in their live broadcast company.

Duan Jiabao was busy renting out the house and moving to Jiang Xiaoguo's place.

After packing up, Ding Yixuan just opened the door and came in. Duan Jiabao immediately greeted him:
"Hello, you are the landlord that Jiang Xiaoguo mentioned, right?"

When the cute Ding Yixuan saw the enthusiastic Duan Jiabao, he immediately thought of the new roommate that Jiang Xiaoguo mentioned last night, so he also said enthusiastically:

"Hello, you are Jiang Xiaoguo's college roommate, right?"

“Yes, yes, yes~!”

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two immediately became familiar with each other and began to discuss plans to renovate the living room~!

After the two had lunch together, Ding Yixuan's editor called her, and Duan Jiabao also received a call from the company's finance department, saying that the company's funds had run out and they were urging her to inject funds.

As a result, while talking, he knocked the food off the table, and then hurriedly threw the garbage into the toilet.

When Ding Yixuan came out, he found a messy dining table and a blocked toilet, so his opinion of Duan Jiabao plummeted.

Duan Jiabao hurried back to the company and was very worried after listening to the financial report.

Currently the company’s capital chain has dried up, but it still has to pay salaries to the few trainees who have not yet debuted, and the training teachers still have tens of thousands of yuan to pay. In order to find roles for the trainees, a cultural performance was also held, and the company has a lot of expenses...!

She can only wait until the house is rented out before she has funds to maintain the company, so she can only cut the company's daily expenses.

What she didn't know was that Yin Shang, the trainee she admired the most, immediately thought about finding another job and leaving as soon as he knew her family's business was in trouble and creditors were coming to collect debts.

Because he was once a rich second-generation. After his family went bankrupt when he was fourteen, he had to rely on himself for everything, just like Duan Jiabao now. He had long developed a character of seeking profit and avoiding harm.

······
On the other side, Zhao Youxiu's father's operation was finally completed successfully.

Only then did he have time to open his WeChat account. Listening to Liang Shuang's apologies and caring words while arranging work, Zhao Youxiu felt nothing in his heart.

Just as I was about to put away my phone, I received a call from my boss.

After the call was connected, the boss immediately said with concern:
"Excellent. How was your father's surgery? Was everything OK?"

"Thanks to the boss for his concern. The operation was very successful and the pathology report and everything was normal. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I was so anxious before!" said Zhao Youxiu.

After some concern, the boss said:

"That's good. I called you because I have something urgent to tell you!"

"You say!" Zhao Youxiu said seriously.

The Vision Magazine has a large-scale outdoor photo shoot, retracing the ancient Tea Horse Road. We will follow the caravan and collect folk songs along the way. "This is a great opportunity!"

Before the boss could finish his words, Zhao Youxiu said without hesitation:
"Let me go!"

"So, I called you right away just for this matter!" The boss' voice became obviously excited.

But the boss quickly reminded:

"It's definitely a good thing, but it takes a long time. It takes almost a year in total!"

"It takes so long!" When Zhao Youxiu heard that it would take a year, he hesitated.

"Of course, if something happens during the trip, and if the time is not long, you can discuss it with them and ask for a day or two off!"

Zhao Youxiu was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought of Liang Shuang who was usually busy and rarely seen, he immediately made up his mind.

So Zhao Youxiu said, "Okay, I'll be back right away to handle the formalities!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Youxiu recalled the past three years in his mind.

At this time, Liang Shuang called and after the call was connected, Liang Shuang's voice came:
"How is uncle doing?"

"Not bad~!" Zhao Youxiu said coldly.

Perhaps hearing the indifference in Zhao Youxiu's words, Liang Shuang immediately said:

"I just finished a meeting and bought a plane ticket right away~!"

Before Liang Shuang could finish his words, Zhao Youxiu interrupted:

"You don't have to come over. I'm going back to Shenzhen soon. By the way, I want to talk to you about something!"

Liang Shuang opened his mouth to say something, but after hearing the rejection in Zhao Youxiu's words, Liang Shuang had a bad feeling in his heart, and then said helplessly:
"That's okay!"

······
next day
When Zhao Youxiu returned to Liang Shuang's house, he did not bring any luggage. When the two met again, Zhao Youxiu looked at Liang Shuang without saying anything.

Liang Shuang seemed to realize something, and then said:

"I'm sorry~!"

"I'm leaving~!" Before Liang Shuang finished speaking, Zhao Youxiu continued:

“I want to go take photos of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road!”

Liang Shuang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said:
"It's that good opportunity you mentioned!"

"That's elephant migration~!" Zhao Youxiu shook his head and said.

Liang Shuang was stunned when he heard this and asked, "When will you come back?"

"uncertain!"

"Not sure what that means!"

“I don’t know when I can finish filming, and after I finish, I don’t know if I should film anything else~!”

"What's wrong with you?" Liang Shuang's bad premonition became more and more obvious.

Zhao Youxiu said in a low voice:
"Liang Shuang, let's break up!"

Liang Shuang looked at Zhao Youxiu in a daze. It took him a while to realize something, and then he quickly said:

"What are you talking about? I know there are some problems between us, and I also know that the problem lies with me, especially during the 717 promotion period. I was too busy with work and ignored it~!"

"Liang Shuang, I have thought about this carefully during this period of time!" However, Zhao Youxiu interrupted Liang Shuang again and said:
"Don't you realize? We are like parallel lines that never intersect. You are very busy at work, and I try my best to be close to you!"

"Before, I gave up many precious opportunities to understand you, and you also paid a lot to take care of our relationship, but~!"

"But the problem is that two railroad tracks cannot intersect each other, because once they do, the train will inevitably overturn!"

"You have your job, and I have my dream. You can't give up your career, but I can't give up my dream either. There's no need for us to change or compromise for each other!"

"That's it!" He opened the door and left without any reluctance.

Zhao Youxiu left with reluctance. Liang Shuang did not rush out to keep Zhao Youxiu, but sat on the ground in despair.

In fact, she had a premonition since Zhao Youxiu called her yesterday, but she just refused to admit it!

When Zhao Youxiu really proposed to break up, Liang Shuang was not too sad in his heart, but it was a little difficult to accept for a while.

At this time, Lin Hao, who was downstairs, looked at Zhao Youxiu who was leaving and smiled faintly.

It turned out that Lin Hao and Zhou Xun came to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange yesterday, and then asked Zhou Xun to participate in the establishment of the venture capital company team.

According to Zhou Xun, there are many like-minded people in Pulin Capital.

Lin Hao went directly to Lanzhou Company. Lin Hao had someone contacted them before to discuss the investment.

This was considered as an acquaintance of Liang Shuang, and then Lin Hao put a mental mark on Liang Shuang.

However, Lin Hao had no intention of going upstairs directly, but was preparing to go to the Cornucopia Agency.

At this time, Duan Jiabao was busy contacting people about tomorrow's cultural performance. After careful consideration, Yin Shang was ready to confront Duan Jiabao.

At this time, Duan Jiabao was contacting directors and producers to participate in the cultural performance, and was also preparing to plan roles for them.

"Yin Shang, you've come just in time. You'll be the finale of tomorrow's art performance, so you must not make any mistakes, understand?"

Looking at Duan Jiabao who was still trying to find a way out for them, Yin Shang said with a little guilt in his heart:

"Sister Bao, I have something to tell you~!"

At this time, a voice interrupted their conversation and said:

"Hello, I'm Lin Hao from Xingyuan Investment. Is Ms. Duan here?"

When Duan Jiabao heard someone calling her, she thought of the call she received last night and immediately realized that it was someone from the venture capital company.

"Hello, I'm Duan Jiabao. Are you Mr. Lin?" Duan Jiabao walked up to the visitor excitedly.

The person who came was Lin Hao. Looking at the plump Duan Jiabao, he seemed much thinner than in the first part, which just proved the saying that every fat person is a potential stock.

At this time Duan Jiabao said to Lin Hao: "Mr. Lin, please come to my office to talk!"

Then he turned to Yin Shang and asked:
"By the way, what did you just say?"

When Yin Shang heard Lin Hao say that it was an investment company, hope immediately ignited in his heart, so he said:

"Oh, nothing, you have something to do first, I won't bother you!"
