It's raining.

Chen Xu sat in the office, looking through the glass of the window, looking at the rain outside in a string. Looking at it, it looked like white lines.

Suddenly, a few drops of rain slapped on the glass and splashed open, forming a small piece of water droplets stuck to the glass, and the scenery outside suddenly became blurred.

Gulugulu...

In the electric kettle on the coffee table, the sound of water boiling came, and a white mist rose at the top.

With a slight click, the switch jumped automatically.

The rumbling sound in the kettle gradually subsided. A plain white hand reached over, lifted the kettle, and poured hot water into a purple clay teapot containing tea leaves.

The water mist was steaming, and the purple clay teapot was filled with water, with a layer of foam floating on it.

Secretary Jin put the kettle back to its original position, covered the purple clay pot, poured two cups of tea, and said to a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, "Mr. Chen, please use it slowly."

"Thank you." The middle-aged man said politely and watched her leave the office.

After the door was closed, he said, "Chen Xu, your place is really good."

"Uncle San, don't make fun of me."

Chen Xu stood up, walked to the opposite side of him and sat down, saying, "Where is my place as grand as your office."

This middle-aged man is his third uncle Chen Xinyi. He just came back from his hometown and brought him something by the way.

"I made it just to make a fortune. Ziqi always dislikes the rustic. Although you are a little smaller here, it seems like you are doing things. In addition to the good place, the people are even better."

Chen Xinyi whined outside and asked, "You have found such a secretary, your girlfriend has no objection?"

Chen Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "No, Secretary Jin was introduced by Xiyun."

Chen Xinyi's eyes changed a little, and he tickled, "Chen Xu, why didn't I find out before that you are so good at women. I heard from them that your girlfriend looks like the big stars on TV."

"The time is almost over, so you can stay for dinner and I'll take her out for you to see you." Chen Xu glanced at the time and said.

Chen Xinyi said, "Okay, that's it."

Then, he talked about his real purpose, "Last time you said on the phone that you should start a company with someone else. This time I came here to take a look and ask, how did you do it?"

Chen Xu suddenly realized that Uncle San was so busy that he would go there specifically. It was indeed for the sake of the serious business and asked him, "What aspect do you want to know?"

"Actually, some people wanted to invest in my supermarket before, but you also know that most of the people who do business together in our business are not very good. Not only does the business go down, but the relationship is gone. So, I have never had that plan and I refuse them all."

Chen Xu nodded and showed that he was listening, while adding tea to his teacup.

"But in the past two years, I have found that my career has stagnated. If I want to develop, I will always encounter problems of one kind or another. Take the new store opened this time for example. The manager who has been newly mentioned always makes mistakes. If I don't stare in the store, there will be problems in less than a few days. But, if it were someone else, I wouldn't feel at ease."

"There are other things that are the same. I can't be busy with it alone. If I leave it to others, I can either not do it well or I can't believe it."

"I know, this is because management is not up to date. You are young, have a good brain, read a lot of books, and now you have a company. Among your generation, you are the most promising, so I'll learn from you."

Chen Xu knew that he hadn't said anything, and he could trust him.

He didn't believe it. Uncle San didn't have anyone with higher education than him, but he just couldn't believe it, worried about being deceived.

He had had the troubles of Uncle San, so he was particularly understanding. After considering it, he asked, "Uncle San, can you deal with it at the current scale?"

"Please force it, it's just too tired."

“What if I add another store?”

"That probably won't work."

"Can you still care about maintaining your current scale in three to five years?"

Chen Xinyi frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Uncle San, I don't understand the profound principles. I only know that we are just ordinary people, and the brain can process only so much information, and the time is only so small. Even if we don't eat or sleep twenty-four hours a day, how many things can we do? So, when necessary, we must make choices."

Chen Xu said frankly, "Actually, you must understand this principle too. It depends on whether you are willing to make a choice."

Chen Xinyi frowned and began to think there.

Chen Xu did not disturb him and sat there drinking tea silently.

After a while, Chen Xinyi said, "You should tell me what you should do about working with others to start a company."

Chen Xu knew that his ideas could not be changed by a few words, and he did not force them. He carefully talked to him about the negotiations with Jinyun Group.

Chen Xinyi listened on the side and asked a few questions from time to time.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

The rain also stopped. Chen Xu booked a seat in a nearby restaurant, made an appointment with Luo Xiyun, and had a supper with Uncle San.

Originally, Chen Xu wanted him to stay overnight, but he didn't agree and said he had to go back to the store to watch.

When Luo Xiyun went to the bathroom and only the two of them were left, Chen Xinyi said, "Your girlfriend is really good. I have never seen a second person with such a look and temperament in so many years. You have to treat others well."

"I will."

"And, there's something I want to ask for your help."

Chen Xu said, "Uncle San, just say it if you have something to do, don't be so polite."

"You should have heard Ziqi say about me. I want to ask you to persuade her. She is willing to listen to you now." Chen Xinyi said.

Chen Xu was surprised, "Aren't you separated from that woman?"

"Oh, it's hard to say. In short, you have to help me with this."

Seeing that Luo Xiyun had already returned, Chen Xu said, "I'll do my best."

"Please."

…………

After sending Uncle San away, Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun walked hand in hand and headed towards the company.

"What were you talking about when I was not here just now?" Luo Xiyun asked curiously.

"He found a girlfriend and asked me to persuade Qi."

"This is a good thing. It's not easy for him to raise Ziqi alone. Now that he wants to find a companion, Ziqi probably won't stop him."

"Ziqi doesn't agree with him being with that girl."

"Girl? Twenties?"

"Um."

"No wonder then."

Chen Xu was about to speak, but suddenly he was stunned. A prompt jumped in front of him, "The system update has been completed. This update has loaded a large-scale Valentine's Day special event. Are you going to participate?"
