class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gao Sheng\u2019s father, Gao Changyuan, had already quit his job at the construction site in Qunnan, packed his bags, and rushed over to Yan City.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the long and tiring journey, his heart throbbed with excitement the whole way. During the New Year, the Zhou couple had talked to him many times about the new store they were planning to open and finally persuaded him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gao Changyuan didn\u2019t really understand how exactly self-employment worked and remained skeptical about the Zhou couple\u2019s claims that he would be able to earn thousands of yuan a month. He agreed mostly because the work at the construction site was too backbreaking. Every day, rain, hail, or shine, he did hard physical labor, pulling the transport cart and climbing up and down moving bricks. After so many years, his body was already worn down and he suffered from several health problems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, the site in Qunnan was in difficulty this year. The building was still unfinished but there was no money to pay the workers. The foreman didn\u2019t even bother to recruit new people, just began assembling a team of workers to go to a construction site in another province.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was far away from Liyun Town, though. He\u2019d rather go to Yan City than to another province, even if he would earn less. At least his son was there, and the work would be more relaxed since they would be running their own business. Besides, according to the Zhou couple, he might make more money at the restaurant than at the construction site.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running a restaurant was not easy. Father Zhou explained that handling the food side of the business would make him and his wife simply too busy to take care of things outside the kitchen. Managing a store involved handling the finances; they couldn\u2019t do it all by themselves and they wouldn\u2019t feel reassured entrusting it to a stranger, so why not look for someone they were familiar with? They\u2019d known Gao Changyuan for many years, and their children played together since they were small\u2014both sides basically knew everything about each other.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the saying went, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018the monk may run away but the temple cannot\u2019<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; they wouldn\u2019t have to worry Gao Changyuan would cheat them and disappear. Besides, Gao Changyuan was not someone who would do that in the first place. During his many years of working as a construction laborer in Qunnan, he\u2019d always been honest and conscientious and had a spotless reputation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the couple decided to draw him in, even giving him a 20 percent stake in the business. Gao Changyuan didn\u2019t remain unmoved, but later, he was a little embarrassed to get the shares for nothing. Some time ago, when he had heard that the Zhou couple was looking to rent a store in Yan City, he immediately sent them 1,400 yuan, which was all the savings he could spare.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One side was honest and guileless and the other simple and kind-hearted; naturally, it was unlikely for any discord to arise between the two families. Father Zhou took Gao Changyuan to show him the store the couple had finally decided on. Gao Changyuan was very satisfied with it. As it happened, the renovation was just ending when they came over, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to help move the furniture.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jingzhe had been busy with work and studies, and only now heard about the restaurant. After he got the news, he also went to take a look. To be honest, the decisiveness and efficiency demonstrated by those middle-aged aunts and uncles surprised him a little.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had to admit that he\u2019d really underestimated them. He wanted to let his elders escape the miserable fate of the previous life, but he\u2019d thought he would be able to do it only after he succeeded and raised some capital; he didn\u2019t expect that what they\u2019d lacked was just a proper opportunity. Although the Zhou couple used to be simple factory workers, they didn\u2019t lack courage and daring. From beginning to end, except for giving them a few encouraging nudges, Lin Jingzhe hardly did anything to help them start a business, but they not only did it, their business was also very successful and growing rapidly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new restaurant was just one street away from their place. It was situated between the nearby Yan University, Wutong University, and several other well-known universities, and the residential area their rented apartment was. This residential community was one of the biggest in Yan City, and the street the restaurant was on ran close to the city\u2019s east side\u2019s two eastern main streets. With the number of people passing through the area every day, there was no need to worry about the lack of customers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The place was not big, less than 20 square meters. After separating out the kitchen, there was only enough space for six or seven sets of tables. However, it was exactly because of this that the store\u2019s rent was not high, just within the range of the Zhou couple\u2019s financial means.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The store\u2019s location and rent were so perfect that even Lin Jingzhe couldn\u2019t have found a better place. <\/span>Regarding money<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Zhou couple didn\u2019t ask him for any help, and he didn\u2019t try to involve himself. Although Lin Jingzhe was close friends with Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang, that didn\u2019t mean he knew their parents\u2019 characters just as well. The adults world had its own rules, and where money was concerned, trying to \u201chelp out\u201d was not necessarily a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91f5db1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91f5db1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that everything was on the right track, he left them to their own devices and put the matter out of his mind. Occasionally, he would get updates on the progress from Deng Mai\u2019s chatter.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deng Mai\u2019s position as the king of gossip remained unshaken. It was as if he had a few additional pairs of eyes and ears, and due to his social connections, he could always pick up some interesting tidbits and little-known news. Recently, he paid the most attention to the rumors of the contradiction between Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi, secretly floating around in the Yan City\u2019s business community.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was hard to tell when exactly it started, but after the \u201calliance\u2019s\u201d trip to Changqing, a hot gossip spread around in the real estate industry in Yan City: New Beginnings and Flux Realty\u2019s bosses had a falling out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rumor was detailed enough that most people immediately believed it was true. According to it, the trigger was an oversight in the arrangement of accommodations during the trip. Perhaps he thought he was not taken seriously and his pride was hurt, but anyway, even the always unflappable President Xiao got angry. The next morning, the trip\u2019s organizer, Dai Gaofeng, had to break into the room to stop the fight between the two!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One company had a mysterious background, not a small size, and lofty status, the other was unfathomable and had unconventional style, and neither could be underestimated. Them being at odds was big news.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing strength, it was obvious that Flux Realty held a few more advantages and was more likely to win if the two clashed. Immediately, many people shook off the impression of \u201cthe land king who earned over a hundred million yuan by reselling one piece of land,\u201d and began to carefully reassess New Beginnings Real Estate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this has reduced the number of jealous people and deliberately ambiguous remarks, Deng Mai still had some worries. \u201cBig Bro, have you really fallen out with Mr. Xiao?\u201d he asked while he drove, looking concerned. \u201cLately, Flux Realty keeps contacting us to invite you out to talk about business. Why haven\u2019t you agreed even once?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two companies signed a contract on developing the triangular plot and the project planning was currently underway. Flux Realty invited Lin Jingzhe out for a meeting quite a few times, but he kept making Deng Mai reject them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jingzhe opened his eyes and glanced towards the driver\u2019s seat in front. \u201cIt\u2019s better if I don\u2019t go. The project hasn\u2019t been finalized yet. If we meet too often, the news might leak.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou should still agree to a get-together to cultivate friendship,\u201d Deng Mai said. \u201cOtherwise, the others are going to get a wrong impression. Last time, even Mr. Dai tugged me aside to ask if you two reconciled yet.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Cultivate friendship\u2019? I think that\u2019s exactly what might happen, but probably not in the way you think.<\/span><\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last time they met, Xiao Chi seemed to be burning with desire, seizing every opportunity to <\/span>make a move<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That disciplined, austere appearance was really deceiving. Yan City was different from Changqing; there were many sharp-eyed people here, and news traveled fast. Lin Jingzhe really didn\u2019t want to meet Xiao Chi before the construction project plan was finalized lest someone notice something and decides to make trouble.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He closed his eyes with a wave of his hand, signaling Deng Mai to drop the topic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually, deep down, he had another reason for rejecting Xiao Chi\u2019s invitations\u2014he was afraid that both of them would be feeling awkward and uncomfortable after what happened.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men were strange creatures\u2014they were impulsive yet realistic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like Lin Jingzhe: he felt good while kissing and making out with Xiao Chi, so in the heat of the moment, he didn\u2019t resist intimate touch and probably wouldn\u2019t have rejected taking things even further. That time in the guest house in Changqing, if not for Dai Gaofeng barging in, Lin Jingzhe would\u2019ve already been tearing open a condom.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, afterward, when he was no longer overcome by lust, Lin Jingzhe was able to think clearly again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to consider was his and Xiao Chi\u2019s exact relationship.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flux Realty and New Beginnings Real Estate were currently in a cooperative relationship, and they would only have more business dealings in the future. It was hard to say whether the two companies\u2019 decision-makers developing this kind of close relationship was good or bad. On one hand, it could improve the companies\u2019 relations, but on the other, it wasn\u2019t uncommon for \u201cfriends with benefits\u201d to fall out and turn on each other. If this happened, the consequences would be much more severe than a purely business break-up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention, the other person was Xiao Chi\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jinghze recalled all his impressions of the other man. The longer he pondered, the less optimistic he felt. When it came to physical matters, he was really satisfied with Xiao Chi. The other man\u2019s looks, temperament, and the artless, almost purely instinctive actions when getting intimate were able to heat up Lin Jingzhe\u2019s originally passionless body; that secret, brief closeness in the coach even now left him tingling when he dreamt about it sometimes at night. Relieving physical needs was important, but not enough for him to be willing to take huge risks for it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly, Xiao Chi was someone he couldn\u2019t figure out. The man sometimes behaved like a fool, but others (like Deng Mai or Fang Wenhao) would just regard his actions as too profound to be understood. There were many rumors about Xiao Chi and Lin Jingzhe had heard almost all of them from the \u201cgossip king\u201d at his side, but not even one was related to Xiao Chi\u2019s relationships or love affairs. It was precisely because of this that he was wary of jumping to conclusions about Xiao Chi\u2019s attitude.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, his sense of reason told him he should try to avoid meeting Xiao Chi before both of them properly assessed and evaluated the matter.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Chi kept inviting him to meet, and he wasn\u2019t naive enough to think it was simply to talk about business matters. If it really was a booty call, Lin Jingzhe certainly wouldn\u2019t want to refuse, but spilled water was difficult to retrieve; once things went that far, the relationship between the two of them would change irreversibly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was more likely that Xiao Chi intended to break things off. He probably wanted to say something like, last time was an accident, he got carried away, they shouldn\u2019t take what happened to heart and let bygones be bygones. If this was really the case, it was even more unnecessary to meet in person. Once he refused to meet several times, the other man should be able to understand Lin Jingzhe\u2019s implicit agreement to go separate ways, letting the two sides avoid an awkward conversation face-to-face.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking hard for so long, his head began to ache. After weighing all the advantages and disadvantages, he was increasingly certain that not meeting with Xiao Chi for the time being was the right decision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t like his life lacked things more important than satisfying physical urges.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d520ec elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4d520ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3a8b0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e3a8b0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After returning from Changqing, Deng Mai was contacted by Wu Wangfei and Liang Pi, and the two sides set a date for the agreed follow-up meeting.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jingzhe decided to meet at a business lounge in Yan City. New Beginnings Real Estate had no office in Yan City, and conducting a business meeting at home wasn\u2019t appropriate. Lin Jingzhe felt it was time to make New Beginnings a proper company since its scale of operations was expanding and it would be undertaking more and more business. He and Deng Mai needed to recruit employees as it would be impossible for Deng Mai to take care of everything alone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The start-up period was difficult, especially when the enterprise lacked funds. Getting a generous and clearly interested investor like Lin Jingzhe was a rare occurrence. In order to make this cooperation happen, Liang Pi went all out and brought along their whole team to show their sincerity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jingzhe looked over the short-term plan he\u2019d asked Liang Pi to prepare last time. It was written in an easy-to-understand manner. It was still a bit too vague, but it was clear that a great deal of thought had been put into it. Although Lin Jingzhe couldn\u2019t understand some of the professional jargon, he didn\u2019t have a problem understanding the business plan. \u201cYour first step is <\/span>a web integration application<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d he asked Liang Pi, who was watching him tensely on the opposite side of the table.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liang Pi nodded hastily. He hesitated for a moment before explaining, \u201cTo be precise, it would be more like a browsing and connecting application. We would use this to gather a user base, then develop a user communication service.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s Internet users didn\u2019t have a precise concept of this service but Lin Jingzhe felt dazed. Wasn\u2019t this an early, crude version of search engines and communication software of the future?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Liang Pi obviously didn\u2019t take the first one seriously and meant to only use it as a springboard. After thinking for a moment, Lin Jingzhe understood why\u2014currently, there were not many computer users and the internet was in its infancy. The amount of data in the network was so limited it could be readily searched manually and as such, the only significance of a search engine would be for the users not to have to type in a link letter by letter. It was difficult to see any business opportunities in it at this time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this was already more than Lin Jingzhe expected. To be able to think of such a concept and start developing it, the members of the computer club were already much better than most people.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a project worthy of investing in, and the amount of investment needed was within Lin Jingzhe\u2019s tolerance. He closed the file and nodded, confirming his willingness to cooperate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll right, is your company registered yet?\u201d he asked. \u201cAre there any shareholders?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing this question, Liang Pi knew that they had done it, and his heart almost leaped out of his chest. \u201cNo, no, neither!\u201d he replied hurriedly. \u201cIt\u2019s not registered yet, but I\u2019ve already thought of the name: Best Partner IT!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Best Partner,\u2019 huh?<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lin Jingzhe glanced at Wu Wangfei nearby, gaining a new understanding of their bond. He was even more pleased now, as the strong friendship between the founders was definitely one of the bases of a new enterprise\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of the final negotiations, Lin Jingzhe would be investing a total of 1.5 million yuan and hold a 30% stake in the company, with Wu Wangfei and Liang Pi each holding 35%. However, the two promised to allocate 5% of their shares each to the computer club members who were joining the start-up, so the proportion of the shares of the three would be completely even.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Jingzhe failed to get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/c\/controllinginterest.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">controlling interest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but didn\u2019t mind this distribution. Besides, this kind of balance of power seemed to be Liang Pi\u2019s cautionary measure to prevent a layman investor from meddling in the company\u2019s projects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, Lin Jingzhe saw through the young man\u2019s harmless little scheme and was actually happy to see it. He knew nothing about the technical aspect of IT. Wu Wangfei had the knowledge but not much skill when it came to diplomacy; Lin Jingzhe was business-savvy but knew nothing about technology, and was even less suitable for managing a technology-based enterprise than Wu Wangfei. Out of the three of them, Liang Pi, who had both the technical knowledge and was cautious enough to guard against others, was the most suitable person to manage the company. Someone dewy-eyed and trusting was unlikely to last long in the savage business world.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdeef65 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"bdeef65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8d6125 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c8d6125\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Translator&#8217;s Notes:<\/h4><ol><li><em><strong>\u2018The monk may run away but the temple cannot\u2019<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; \u8dd1\u5f97\u4e86\u548c\u5c1a\uff0c\u8dd1\u4e0d\u4e86\u5e99 &#8211; idiom; it basically means, &#8220;you can run, but you can&#8217;t hide.&#8221;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>&#8216;Spilled water was difficult to retrieve&#8217;<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0&#8211; \u8986\u6c34\u96e3\u6536 [idiom] lit. <em>spilled water is difficult to retrieve<\/em>; it&#8217;s no use crying over spilt milk; what&#8217;s done cannot be undone; the damage is done; once divorced, there&#8217;s no reuniting.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>&#8216;Best Partner IT&#8217;<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; the original name is \u975e\u51e1\u7db2\u7d61\u79d1\u6280, which literally means something like &#8220;Extraordinary Network Technology.&#8221; \u975e\u00a0 (f\u0113i) in \u975e\u51e1 (&#8216;extraordinary&#8217;) is the last character in Wu Wangfei\u2019s name.
