Chapter 258: Is change inevitable

The National Day holiday has begun.

Anting took the opportunity to launch two new mascots.

My mascot must be called A; while Bao Weiwei’s mascot is called b, a lowercase b, well... it doesn’t let her name overlap with Qiao Liang’s mascot.

As expected.

b, very popular and well received.

And the mascot A is not very popular. On the one hand, it is a male mascot. On the other hand, it is suspected of being popular with the mysterious man A, and is ridiculed by many people.

There were also a lot of curses.

"You are also called A, are you trying to catch the heat, right?"

"How disgusting!"

Anting was a little helpless, but I didn't take it too seriously. These reactions were in line with expectations. I didn't bother to respond. It was impossible for the young man to jump out and clarify that he was A just because of such a trivial matter.

It’s really not necessary.

By the way.

To this day, none of the friends know that the secret base belongs to Anting, let alone that these mascots are based on themselves.

That’s normal.

When a three-dimensional real person is transformed into a two-dimensional Q version, it is difficult to recognize it. Even if some similarities are found, it will only be regarded as a coincidence.

Only Qiao Liang knows.

If I have to say, there is another person who also knows - Wei Feng. He only found out recently that he is Zhang Jing's personal assistant after all. He doesn't even know these things. It's very embarrassing. Difficulty doing work.

The above are all trivial matters.

The young man has more things to pay attention to right now.

On the night of National Day, Anting made an appointment with Brother Chuan and Zhang Jing to have dinner together. By the way, he called Zhou Rui and He Yi, the leaders of all business lines, to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Anting first expressed his gratitude, and then fulfilled his gambling agreement with Zhang Jing.

The share of the secret base was directly given to Zhang Jing.

From today on, Zhang Jing and Brother Chuan both have 20% shares of the secret base, and they are equal.

From an adult's perspective, this incident must be a little bit of a show. Anting wants these people to know that he is a man of his word and will not treat his heroes badly.

Of course...

One person was still injured.

Sichuanelder brother.

First of all, let me make it clear that Brother Chuan agreed at the beginning and promised to allocate part of the share to Zhang Jing.

But this time and that time.

At the beginning, the secret base only had two or three stores, and its 30% was reduced to 20%. It was a small matter.

Now, Secret Base has more than 50 branches. It not only eats up the local market, but also ventures outside the province. It is the number one beverage brand in the south. It must be uncomfortable.

In fact.

What makes Brother Chuan uncomfortable is not giving part of his share to Zhang Jing. He is a loyal son and will not break his promise.

What really made him uncomfortable was that after the breakup, he and Zhang Jing were on an equal footing.

I am 21% and he is 19%, which is acceptable.

But, we are all 20%, which is a bit uncomfortable.

　……

After dinner.

Anting asked Zhang Jing, Zhou Rui and He Yi to leave separately, but named Brother Chuan to take him back to the town.

Zhang Jing and others were tacit and just said goodbye.

Let Brother Chuan take you home.

It seems reasonable. Both Anting and Brother Chuan are locals in the small town. It is also the National Day holiday. It is understandable that he must go back to the small town and give the boy a ride.

In fact, Anting had ulterior motives and wanted to talk to Brother Chuan in private, which was considered a little ideological work.

He is not stupid. The table has already noticed Brother Chuan's dissatisfaction, but considering the occasion, he did not say anything publicly.

Brother Chuan is no longer the small owner running an ordinary milk tea shop in a small town, but one of the shareholders of a large beverage brand, even the second largest shareholder.

The company assigned him a car.

An Audi is not only convenient for his work, but also a reward.

Generally speaking, when a driver drives his boss, the latter should sit in the back seat, but Anting chose to sit in the passenger seat. He did not regard himself as the boss.

At least at this moment, no.

He puts himself and Brother Chuan on the same level.

Brother Chuan noticed this action, but didn’t say much.

As the car moved forward, Anting took the initiative and said: "Brother Chuan, how long has it been since we started a business together?"

Hearing this, through the windshield, Brother Chuan is likeIt seems that I can still see the less professional team of myself, Anting and Gu Xueli, looking for stores together, thinking about songs together, and developing new products together. I didn't expect to get to this point.

He finally had a smile and said: "Fifteen months."

From July 2006 to October 2007.

Fifteen months...

I never expected that the secret base could reach this level.

It’s really emotional.

"Did you know that Sister Xueli went to participate in the talent show?" Anting asked again.

“Well, this is what I didn’t expect. That girl from another province who played guitar in an Internet cafe would suddenly become a big star, and she is also my business partner.”

The relationship between Gu Xueli and Brother Chuan has never been highlighted.

The two are actually good friends.

Brother Chuan, whose full name is Han Xuchuan, is one or two years older than Gu Xueli. He should be about 25 years old. A junior high school dropout, to reach this point, he is already arrogant to 98% of the people.

It’s just.

Brother Chuan has no thoughts about Gu Xueli, it is just friendship.

The reason is very simple. Brother Chuan is a traditional person at heart, as are his parents. They look down on girls from other places, especially those with low academic qualifications, and will not marry them back home.

Anting sighed: "Change seems inevitable."

Brother Chuan was startled again.

He once thought that he would never be able to leave the small town and would always stay in the small town with his friends who worked in the factory.

Unexpectedly, there is a slight class gap now, but he and Zhang Jing have become good friends, and the relationship with his previous friends has become somewhat weak.

There is no way, every time those friends come to me, it is basically to ask for help, such as Mr. Li last time.

In fact, Brother Chuan fired that person named Mr. Li afterwards.

He knows that he has changed. He could not do such heartless things to his friends before; now he feels at ease and should cut off some bonds and move up to higher ground.

When he agreed to give part of his share to Zhang Jing, he was very generous; now, at this moment, he feels uncomfortable.

In addition to this, there are many other things that make Brother Chuan uncomfortable.

Probably because he has no academic qualifications, he is clearly fighting on the front line for the secret base, and even slept in a warehouse, but he can only stay behind the scenes and remain unknown; watching helplesslyZhang Jing accepted the interview and received flowers and applause.

A long silence.

Anting suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Chuan, do you know why I chose you in the first place?"

Brother Chuan is not the only one who opens a beverage shop in Beicheng District. He is not the best among them. Anyone who has graduated from a technical secondary school will be better than him.

Brother Chuan thought for a while and said: "A coincidence?"

"Oh, half of the answers are right. I tell you the truth. That's because you are a loyal person. As a person, I am willing to hand over my back to you. To this day, in my mind, you are still more trustworthy than Zhang Jing."

Originally I wanted to paint the pie, PUA Come on Brother Chuan.

Anting doesn’t want to do that. Being sincere is always the best way to treat a loyal person like Brother Chuan.

　“Oh, are you being polite?”

　“No, I mean it sincerely.”

　This is the boy’s sincere words.

Brother Chuan is more trustworthy than Zhang Jing, both in the past and now.

Just...I don’t know the future...

A moment of silence.

Brother Chuan finally couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. It seemed that his heart had been untied a lot. He said cheerfully: "An Ting, sometimes I really can't see through you. What are you doing?" What’s the origin?”

For a 16-year-old boy, it is amazing enough to own a catering brand with more than 50 branches; let alone other business lines.

Unexpectedly.

Anting just turned his face, smiled evilly, and said: "Nonsense, rent a second generation!"

For a time, the carriage was filled with laughter.

 Immediately afterwards.

The car drove to Bauhinia Street and Anting got off.

Before leaving, Brother Chuan said one thing and said with a smile: "An Ting, let me tell you one more thing. In fact, I no longer live in a small town. I bought a house and live in Nancheng District. ."

"Ah...!?"

"If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Since everyone has a successful career, they should definitely buy a house near the company.

"I knew you wanted to talk to me, so I took you home."

An Ting smiled bitterly: "I underestimated you."

"Hahaha, I am no longer a young man in a small town..."

With a loud laugh, Brother Chuan drove away.

Looking at the car gradually driving away, Anting put his hands in his pockets and stopped in place.

Exactly this moment.

The phone rang. I took it out and saw it was a call from He Yi.

"Hey, Teacher He, what's wrong?"

"An Ting, I just wanted to chat with you in the hotel, and I saw that you and Achuan had something going on. I wanted to talk, so I didn’t say anything. I’ll call you now to talk.”

“Well, what’s the matter?”

“I’ve thought about several ways to make a profit at Station A. model, it has been made into a plan and has been sent to your email. I hope you have time to take a look."

"Oh...it's so rare that you can actually think about the profit model."
>
"Well, seeing that other people are making money so much, and I have been working so hard, it seems to have no meaning. It's time to look forward and make money hard."

Hang up the phone after.

Anting stood at the intersection of Zijing Street and was in a daze for a while.

Zhang Jing, Brother Chuan - secret base.

Zhou Rui - scarf.

He Yi——Station A.

Among the four people, the ones Anting was most wary of were Zhang Jing and Zhou Rui.

It should be like this...

But... he suddenly realized that those two people were the most reassuring and there was no change.

On the contrary, it’s Brother Chuan and He Yi. The former is a loyal son, and the latter is a person who is enthusiastic about the second dimension. I always feel that a year has passed and a lot of changes have happened.

This extends to self-thinking.

I, have I changed?

Human beings are animals destined to change. With the passage of time and space, will they one day become completely different? I can never find my original self again.

Even those who are reborn cannot avoid it.

Just when Anting was feeling a little complicated, a dog bark suddenly came from behind, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

　“Woof woof woof~”

Look back.

It was none other than Song Ci who was walking the dog.

It’s October, an early autumn night, half moon, slightly cool...

The upper body is a denim-like shirt + a light pink T-shirt, and the lower body is autumn trousers. Wearing a pair of slippers, her long straight black hair was hanging loosely, holding a rope in her hand, her snow-white breasts were looking at the young man with warm eyes.

SaMaya is really a gentle breed.

This is Song Ci’s fixed dog walking time, except in winter.

Since they had bumped into each other, the two simply walked around Bauhinia Street and walked the dog together.

"An Ting, why do you look so thoughtful?"

An Ting asked casually: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about a problem."< br />
　"What's the problem?"

　"I'm wondering, will people definitely change?"

　"Ah..." Song Ci responded to this question It seemed unexpected, "Why do you suddenly ask such a meaningless question?"

"It's time to think about life in adolescence."

"Ah...!? "

Song Ci sometimes couldn't understand the boy's brain circuit, just like she couldn't understand Qiao Liang's brain circuit. Even so, she still expressed her own point of view.

　“As time and space change, people are destined to change, but... no matter how much they change, the deepest and first things will never change.”
