Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

September is probably the most comfortable season in Beijing.

It is autumn, with clear and cool weather.

Yin Mingzhu put on a long windbreaker before going out to work today.

She has had a minor cold recently.

It was caused by the temperature difference between morning and evening. The temperature suddenly dropped a few days ago, and I forgot to put on an extra coat before going to work in the morning.

At this moment, she also put on an extra mask on her face.

This is done out of courtesy to prevent others from getting sick, but also because for some reason in this capital city, the wind and sand have been getting stronger and stronger in the past two years, and there has been more and more dust in the air.

She is very sensitive to these things.

It may be because of these things that she has been suffering from frequent colds, coughs and discomforts in recent times.

Thinking about these bad things in my mind.

Before she knew it, she had walked from the dormitory to the front of the CCTV building.

I walked into the building, passed through the empty lobby, and pressed the elevator to the 19th floor where the program team was located.

"Good morning, Sister Mingzhu."

"Good morning."

"Ms. Yin, good morning. Please go in first."

"You're welcome. Let's go together."

"Sister Yin, I brought you breakfast. This is the pancake made by Uncle Zhang at the entrance of Shiliu Hutong. It's delicious. Would you like to try it? Oh, and I also brought you some freshly ground soy milk."

"No, thank you. Please eat."

"Ms. Yin, I have two movie tickets here. I heard the show is pretty good..."

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the art of film. Please make way."

"..."

I don’t know when it started, but Yin Mingzhu found that there seemed to be good people everywhere around her.

Many people were talking to her with a smile on their faces.

And, in addition to this, these people are all wearing a mask, and this mask is called philistine.

At the beginning, she thought it was her ability that finally gained recognition from her colleagues.

But soon, she reacted and faced the reality. If it was just because of recognition, there was no need to please her like this.

After all, she is not a leader who can decide the future and fate of these people, but just a small assistant host of a financial program who has just been promoted.

There is only one possibility.

Her background had been leaked, and many people in the building had been spreading the news privately that Yin Mingzhu had a billionaire backer. This billionaire backer was very powerful and could bring down the chief director of a certain program in their building with just one word. With another word, he made her, a newcomer who had only been in the position for less than a year and was an intern, directly become the host of a popular financial program.

These words are all very plausible.

Some people secretly speculated that this billionaire was Yin Mingzhu's father, and that Yin Mingzhu was a princess who came down to earth to experience life.

Some people secretly speculated that although this billionaire might be about the same age as Yin Mingzhu's father, he might not be her biological father but might be her godfather, and Yin Mingzhu was the billionaire's mistress.

In short, he is either a lover or a mistress, and can never be a husband or a biological father.

that's all.

Of course these are all fake.

There was also truth in it. After all, Lu Yang had been to CCTV more than once, and more than one person knew the true relationship between him and Yin Mingzhu. They were just an ordinary brother-in-law and sister-in-law. But the gossip was not explosive enough and no one believed it.

Sometimes it is like this, the truth is often hidden in more rumors, and once rumors spread, even the truth will be said to be false, and the false will be regarded as true.

Yin Mingzhu also wanted to clarify the rumors at the beginning, and even had conflicts with many people because of this matter, but others would not say it to her face, but only behind her back.

On the contrary, they flattered her especially in front of her, because they were afraid of her lover or godfather. After all, he had dealt with one of their deputy directors with just one word, so it would be even easier for him to deal with ordinary staff like them, so they had to kneel down on the surface.

What can Yin Mingzhu do then?

She felt like she had punched cotton. She wanted to explain, to clarify, but there was no one to turn to. She could only hold all the words she wanted to explain in her heart. She kept holding them in until it became a habit.

There is no way Yin Mingzhu would quit her job just because of these bullshit rumors.

If she really did that.

Then she is not Yin Mingzhu. She, Yin Mingzhu, is not that fragile mentally. Since others like to make rumors about her and she can't stop them, instead of sulking and wasting time on herself, it is better to let it go and see how long they can spread these rumors.

There is a passage in The Twilight of the Idols, a book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, which Yin Mingzhu still remembers vividly and likes very much.

It says: "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

Yin Mingzhu wants to quote it here: "Those messages that can't defeat me will make me, Yin Mingzhu, stronger than before. One day, I will tell them to shut up."

There are many ways to make someone shut up. Yin Mingzhu’s first goal at this stage is to remove the first two words “assistant” from her identity as assistant host.

After Yin Mingzhu went upstairs, she did not report directly to the program crew. Instead, she asked for leave and went directly to the 31st floor.

This is where she used to work.

Soon she found the office of the director of the advertising planning department.

"dong dong"

Knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

The familiar voice of Minister Sister Tan came from inside.

Yin Mingzhu pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Sister Tan was still reviewing documents, she did not disturb her and walked over to the sofa and sat down.

It was not until Sister Tan had finished reviewing a document and had some free time that she said in a capable manner, "Sister Tan, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Although Minister Tan is nearly 40 years old, she is well-maintained and still has charm. She lifted her hair and smiled, "How have you been recently after being transferred to the News Department? Do you feel any pressure?" Yin Mingzhu answered truthfully, "Yes, there is pressure, but I think I can handle it. Besides, I have your care, Sister Tan. I believe no one will bully me over there."

"The mouth is very sweet."

Minister Tan nodded and said, "It seems that you have really been trained in the News Department. I can rest assured. As for my care for you, if it was useful, you wouldn't have been transferred to clean the place."

Are these words self-deprecating or self-mocking?
Yin Mingzhu could still hear that the advice from the director of CCTV's Advertising Planning Department would not be useless. If she really thought it was useless, she, Yin Mingzhu, would not even be able to tell which way the door of CCTV faced and could not get in. How could she be where she is today?
"Sister Tan, if you say that, I feel a little ashamed. If it weren't for your job, I wouldn't even be qualified for an internship. You know that."

Yin Mingzhu stood up and said.

"You sit first, sit first, don't be restrained."

Minister Tan said with a smile.

He waved his hand, motioning Yin Mingzhu to sit down first.

Then she stood up, walked around the desk, sat down on the sofa in front of the guest room, sat next to Yin Mingzhu, took Yin Mingzhu's hand and said, "My dear sister, since you still remember my kindness, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

As she spoke, she stared at Yin Mingzhu's face, trying to determine Yin Mingzhu's next reaction.

Yin Mingzhu was stunned at first.

Perhaps he did not expect that Sister Tan, the head of a major department, would speak so directly.

But she didn't feel any aversion, because she was a person who advocated exchange of interests. Sister Tan had been taking good care of her in the past year and had never taken anything from her. Now that she finally asked her to do something, she felt relieved.

So after thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Sister Tan, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

No nonsense, no directly saying that you are not capable enough or anything like that, just tell the other person directly that if you have done a favor, you will definitely repay it and you will help if you can.

"You are more decisive than me."

Minister Tan smiled again, still holding Yin Mingzhu's hand without letting go, "I won't keep you in suspense. Well, I'll tell you the truth. The favor I want you to do is actually quite simple for you. I wonder if you've heard about it? Your brother-in-law has made another big move recently.

The three words "little prodigy" must be familiar to you. It is the top bidder for CCTV's advertisements, and its products are sold all over the country. But now there are rumors that this company wants to start financing. People in the circle are a little surprised for a while, and they are all discussing what your brother-in-law is up to. Is it possible that he is just throwing a smokescreen? After all, it was recently reported that your brother-in-law's company had just distributed dividends and took out 300 million yuan. "

They are short of money and want to raise funds, but they have just taken out a huge amount of cash for dividends. This amount of information is so large and complicated that it confuses everyone.

Yin Mingzhu was stunned again, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Tan, can you finish what you are saying? I still don't understand, what does this have to do with me?"

She works in the news industry, and is involved in the financial field. She knows how big the news that bastard has made recently is, and it is precisely because she knows this that she said this.

Just make your request directly, and she will do it if it can be done, and then tell you what you think.

It can't be done.

She might as well refuse as soon as possible, and she even found a reason to refuse. Although that stinky guy was her brother-in-law, their relationship was average. She didn't understand business matters, so it was not easy for her to interfere.

Minister Tan glanced at her, then continued, "What I'm asking you for is related to this. I want to ask you to call your brother-in-law and ask if this is true. If it is true, can you keep a seat for me?"

If Xiao Shentong, a company that is now on the rise, starts the second round of financing, it will definitely attract a group of big sharks. However, this news is only circulated within a small range, which means that Lu Yang probably did not think about bringing in too many investors, or there may even be only a few investment quotas, and these quotas must be very valuable and extremely difficult to obtain.

Yin Mingzhu was surprised and asked, "Sister Tan, do you also want to participate in this round of financing?"

Tan Xisong shook his head: "It's not me, it's my ex-husband..."

. . . . . .

At this time, Lu Yang had just received Zhao Shi who came to report to him.

The performance of Chashan Coal Mine in the past two years has been remarkable, especially since the beginning of this year. The coal price has increased by more than 9% compared with previous years. In addition, after the new equipment was updated, the coal production continued to increase. Before September, it had broken the records of last year and the year before last. It is expected to achieve an annual coal production of more than million tons within this year. According to the current raw coal price, even if Lu Yang’s shareholding ratio is not high, he can get at least tens of millions when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year.

Don't underestimate these tens of millions, after all, it is only 1993.

With these extra tens of millions in cash, Lu Yang can do many more big things.

After encouraging Zhao Shi a few words, Lu Yang was just about to ask him to stay and have dinner with him in the evening.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone rang at this time.

Because it was Lu Yang's own private call, not many people knew about it. Lu Yang looked down and found that the call was from Pengcheng, so he waved his hand and asked Zhao Shi to go out first.

After thinking for a moment, he pressed the answer button.

"Is there any result?"

"Ah."

The call was from Xiao Jun, and the guy was feeling very angry.

"How many?"

Lu Yang stood up and walked to the window, looking at the pedestrians on the street outside the window and said, "Don't talk about those who are not qualified. I'm in a good mood recently and want to hear something happy. Please pick out something that can make me happy."

"You boy."

"Grass."

Xiao Jun couldn't hold back his pretense. "Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. I'll tell you some good news. Since we released the news of the financing, up to 40 or 50 companies and institutions have contacted us. Many of them are quite powerful, especially the Shenzhen Development Bank in our city of Pengcheng. We have dealt with this development bank before, and we have made a fortune in the stock market with it. There are also the Zhao family and the Qian family. I won't introduce these two families in detail. To put it bluntly, one is my father-in-law, and the other is my father Qian. There is also another powerful investor who you may not even think of. The Pengcheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has also contacted us. Brother, we are going to get rich."

Being chosen by the Pengcheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, if the Pengcheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission can take the lead in the next round of A financing, it will definitely be beneficial for operating the little prodigy into a local listed company, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will definitely make it easier.

No wonder Xiao Jun was so excited. He was right when he said he had made a fortune.

Lu Yang seemed to have expected this, and said calmly into the phone: "What about the valuation? Not talking about the valuation is just a hooligan. Why haven't I heard any news that can make me happy?"

Xiao Jun took a breath and said, "Fuck, you are pretending. With Pengcheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission leading the way, you are still worried about the valuation. They are ready to give us 10 million, and they only want % of the shares. What do you think?"

Lu Yang thought to himself: Is the valuation 10 billion?
It's almost the same. If the 10 million yuan in the little prodigy's account had not been divided up, the price would definitely be more than this. But there is not much money left in the account now, and they are still willing to pay billion yuan, which shows that they really think highly of them.

But it's not enough.

"Don't rush to agree. Take your time. Let the bullet fly for a while. Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Lu Yang hung up the phone.
