Chapter 2152

Although ridicule is ridicule, everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a relaxed self-deprecating way to relieve the pressure of work tension.

Thinking about Gao Fei who helped last night, and today he still has work issues to deal with, so Gu Chen took out his cell phone and called Zhang Jingde directly.

Not long after, the phone was connected, and Gu Chen greeted directly: "Uncle Zhang, I'm Xiao Gu."

"Gu Chen, I understand what you told me last night. Early this morning, I was contacting those acquaintances in the high-tech zone to see which companies are recruiting?"

"If there is a suitable job position, I will call in person and ask Gao Fei to come over for an interview. As for the recruiting companies, I will also take special care of them. Don't worry about that."

"Then thank you, Uncle Zhang, this kind of thing will trouble you." Seeing that Zhang Jingde still remembered what happened, Gu Chen felt relieved.

Zhang Jingde also smiled and said: "Gu Chen, you are now the acting deputy director of the Furong branch, and you have to do such a small matter yourself? How tiring is that?"

"Listen to what Uncle Zhang said, as a leader, sometimes, many things can be done by your subordinates, and you don't need to do it yourself."

"I see, Uncle Zhang, I'll see you when I'm free."

"Okay, as long as you have the heart, Uncle Zhang is a bit busy now, and he will implement Gao Fei's work later, so I will tell you again."

"Well, don't disturb Uncle Zhang's work."

Gu Chen and Zhang Jingde exchanged a few words with each other before they both hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, Gao Fei's work should be able to be implemented, right?"

"Almost." Gu Chen put the phone on the desk and said calmly:

"Many companies in the high-tech zone are recruiting. It is not difficult for the companies there to arrange a suitable position for Gao Fei."

"I have asked my acquaintances to implement this matter. It should be able to solve Gao Fei's work problems."

"That's good." Seeing that the matter can be resolved, Lu Weiwei also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on her face:

"After all, Gao Fei is not a rich man, but he doesn't have the ability to eat and drink without worrying about interest alone."

"But to be honest, I was really sad to hear Gao Fei's desperate voice on the phone last night."

"You said, why is it difficult for children from poor families to turn over?"

"That's because children from poor families mature relatively late. Among these people, most of the poor children can only understand the logic of social operation and the truth of human nature after they are 30 years old."

As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Ding walked in from the outside.

Officer Wang slapped his thigh, and also shook his right index finger at Officer Ding: "Old Ding still speaks well, isn't that how it is?"

"There's a good saying, what's it called... The children of the poor are headed home early. In fact, the so-called early headed home is just that they have mastered some basic survival skills under extreme circumstances and difficult conditions."

"And these basic survival skills they have mastered earlier are useless for understanding the operation of business society."

After a pause, Officer Wang filled a cup of hot water by the water dispenser, returned to his seat, and said:

"To be honest, we are a family that has been poor for several generations and is honest, and we hardly get any effective constructive guidance."

"And how many of those so-called successful business people come from ordinary-class families?"

"If you believe they are all self-made, then I can only say you are naive."

"Is there too?" Yuan Shasha said.

Officer Ding nodded silently: "Yes, of course, but those are very rare."

"So I think that when we look at a person's achievements, or in the future, we look at our children's achievements, not to say how rich he is."

"It depends on how much change and breakthrough he can make on the basis of his native family."

"The child of this poor family is in the midst of suffering and does not know the suffering. The pain is so numb that he thinks that pain is normal."

"Okay." Seeing what Officer Wang and Officer Ding said, Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said involuntarily:

"I hope Gao Fei can have a good working environment after he enters the factory. After all, it is already bad enough, and his heart is also very fragile."

"If he suffers another blow or trick, his heart will probably be broken."

Looking up at everyone, Lu Weiwei said again: "I'm worried now that Gao Fei's mental capacity is too weak."

"After all, those companies are not charities. If they trick him and make him feel uncomfortable, then if Gao Fei can't think about it anymore, wouldn't we have to call the police again?"

"After all, anything can happen to a vulnerable person."

"Lu Weiwei, don't be so pessimistic, okay? Gao Fei is not a three-year-old anymore. Last night, he just owed his mobile phone, which became the last straw that crushed him."

"But last night, Gu Chen gave him a sum of money, arranged a comfortable hotel for him, and helped him contact jobs."

"We've already done our best, no matter what, he can always figure it out in that night, otherwise he will live this life in vain."

Listening to Lu Weiwei's pessimistic remarks here, He Junchao on the side also retorted.

Police officer Wang also echoed: "Yes, Lu Weiwei, don't worry, you are a man, you should cheer yourself up, the difficulties are only temporary, it's not a big deal, there is still a long way to go."

"Oh, I know." Seeing everyone saying that, Lu Weiwei also waved her hands, expressing her worries:

"I know Gao Fei can do it, but I'm worried about the current recruiting companies, all kinds of routines, and the case we handled before is also because of the interest dispute between the company and the employees?"

"According to past experience, this time of year should be the peak period for job-hopping, and some people who have the idea of ​​job-hopping will propose to leave one after another."

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just to give face to the year-end bonus? No, just yesterday morning, the cleaning aunt of our best friend's company proposed to resign."

"Auntie Cleaning resigned?" He Junchao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Weiwei's words:

"I thought it was the president of the company who resigned, and Auntie Cleaning resigned. Just recruit another one. It's not a big job."

Hearing this, Lu Weiwei glanced at He Junchao, and said in an annoyed way:

"How can you say that? Everyone, don't underestimate the position of cleaning. The sanitation of my best friend's company depends on the hard work of cleaning."

"Then did you get recruited later?" Police Officer Wang asked.

"Isn't this a trick?" Lu Weiwei lay back on the seat, thinking about it:

"Later, my best friend's company quickly put out an advertisement for cleaning staff, and a dozen or so aunts came yesterday afternoon to apply for the job."

"Hey, it seems that it is not easy to find a job now." Officer Wang blew lightly into the thermos, and then put the wolfberry tea in his mouth and took a sip.

"Isn't it?" Lu Weiwei continued to explain:

"Later, the interviewer first got to know the specific situation of each person, and then told them the specific working hours, requirements and treatment."

"Then, let them go back and wait for the notice, but who knows, one of the aunts in her fifties said that your company recruits people, there will be no unspoken rules, right?"

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Police Officer Wang, who was drinking wolfberry tea quietly, choked unpreparedly, and coughed and asked:

"This is a cleaning aunt, what other tricks are there?"

"That's right, that's what I asked my girlfriend at the time." Lu Weiwei leaned forward and said seriously:

"So, the leader of the girlfriend's company also asked with a puzzled face. He said, auntie, what are you kidding? How could there be no unspoken rules?"

"Ah? Really?" Officer Ding was also confused when he heard this.

Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said, "There must be. How can there be no unspoken rules in the workplace?"

"It's like when you're looking for a job, the unspoken rules are actually written in the job advertisement."

Flicking her hands, Lu Weiwei also gave an example: "What is this... the salary is 3,000 to 7,000, actually, it's 3,000."

"The so-called salary negotiation, in fact, is to tell you that the salary is not high. If you say it, I'm afraid that others will not come."

"And what else, if you want to work hard, it means that you will be very busy and very tired."

"And what about stress resistance and patience? In fact, it tells you that the work pressure is high and the leadership has a bad temper."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei thought about it for a few seconds, and then said: "As for telling you to go back and wait for the notice, hehe, actually, I just don't want to hire you."

"The current company is recruiting with the minimum salary, and also wants to recruit special forces."

"It's normal for any boss to want to spend the least amount of money to do the biggest thing." Hearing this, Police Officer Wang was not surprised.

Gu Chen thought for a few seconds, then interjected, "However, I asked an acquaintance to find a job for Gao Fei temporarily, and it is also in a factory in the development zone, where there are formal enterprises, and the benefits of employees in all aspects are actually guaranteed. "

"Speaking of Gao Fei, before working on construction sites, he was only doing groceries, and he didn't have any special skills."

"But in the factory, the work is not too complicated. It is basically an assembly line. For people like Gao Fei, it should not be a big problem."

"That's the best." Seeing that Gu Chen had already said that, Lu Weiwei couldn't say anything else?

I always feel that it is best not to be what I imagined.

Holding a teacup, He Junchao also came to the crowd, jokingly said:

"So, what does it mean to laugh at the poor and not laugh at the prostitute? When you have nothing, there is really no one around you to rely on."

"Thinking of Gao Fei's situation, he definitely wouldn't dare to go home. After all, he went out to work and couldn't find a job. He was reduced to the point where he needed help and food for him."

"If he wants to go back, he will probably be laughed at by his neighbors."

With a faint sigh, He Junchao couldn't help feeling: "So, maybe only the puppy at home doesn't care if you do well or not."

"As long as you go home, you are your puppy's whole world."

"And other people may say all kinds of sarcastic remarks. If the people in Gao Fei's hometown can be educated and reasonable, then does Gao Fei need such a lot of pressure?"

After a pause, He Junchao came to Gu Chen, turned around to look at everyone, and said, "So, laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes, I always think this is the true meaning of life."

"To put it simply, no matter how your money comes from, others will only think you are capable."

"And no matter how good your character is, if you have no money, you will still be looked down upon."

"He Junchao." Seeing that He Junchao was real in the world again, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but tease her.

But before Lu Weiwei could speak, He Junchao reached out and interrupted:

"Lu Weiwei, don't rush to refute, do you think this is the reality?"

"If this person has no money, even if you recognize your relatives very much, if you take gifts to visit relatives, others will probably think that you are going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

"I was thinking silently, are you here to ask someone to do something? Or are you here to borrow money?"

"So people, if you don't have money, don't join the crowd less, and if you are poor, don't go out with your relatives. Sometimes it really hurts your self-esteem."

Turning around and returning to his seat, He Junchao said again: "If you are nothing today, then you should settle down and work hard."

"No matter how hard you are, no matter how tired you are, don't go around complaining."

"Because of this, others will only look down on you even more and think you are poor and hypocritical. This is the reality."

After snapping his fingers, Police Officer Wang also agreed: "Don't say it, He Junchao's words are not rough, he is right, life is like this."

"When you are poor, don't go around crying about being poor. No one will give you alms, and don't always fantasize about who and who around you will always help you. Maybe you can help you once. If you ask for a second time, others will think you are shameless."

"In this life, the only one you can rely on is yourself."

"Then you, Old Wang, don't rely on Junior Brother Gu for emergencies every month. Is your pocket money enough?"

As soon as Police Officer Wang swears to tell the true meaning of life, Lu Weiwei can't wait to fight.

Officer Wang's face darkened on the spot, and he said angrily, "Why are you talking about me again?"

"It's not every time there are situations, especially lending money to those friends."

"Pfft!" Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row of Gu Chen, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing what Police Officer Wang said.

Upon seeing this, Police Officer Wang also questioned Yuan Shasha, "Xiao Yuan, what are you laughing at?"

"Sorry." Yuan Shasha waved her hands first, then covered her mouth and snickered:

"I just feel that Police Officer Wang's friends are weird enough to borrow money from someone like Senior Brother Wang who has to count his pocket money carefully every month."

"Also, I found something very interesting. Those who borrow money from Senior Brother Wang are usually people who have not been in touch for a long time. Have you noticed?"

"I found it." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and also echoed:

"The reason is very simple, because people who often contact Lao Wang know that he has no money."

"Isn't it?" Listening to Lu Weiwei teasing herself here, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but said:

"Sometimes, when I don't have enough money to spend, I will ask other people to borrow money. For example, last year I borrowed 10,000 yuan from my friend. At that time, because he didn't have enough money, he only lent me 5,000 yuan."

"It's been a year now, and he still owes 5,000 and hasn't loaned it to me. I just want to ask, if I go to court to sue him, is there a high chance of winning?"

"Pfft, haha!"

It was also seeing Officer Wang joking here, and everyone at the scene burst into laughter again.

Lu Weiwei also burst into tears with a smile and said: "Old Wang, enough is enough, I tell you, when you lend money to others, you must always adhere to one principle, that is, to borrow money not to borrow money, and if you are really willing to pay back the money on time, you don't need to remind me." people."

"Because once you start urging, either the money will not come back, or the money will come back, and friends will not have to do it."

"Even if you continue to do it, the high and low will change a bit, so if you meet someone who asks you to borrow money, if you have no intention of giving the money to him, then you should not borrow it."

"Because it's not a matter of favor and inhumanity, but because these days, it's the old man who borrows money. Why should others pay you back the money they earn by their own ability?"

"I know, I know." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was excited to teach her a lesson, Police Officer Wang couldn't help laughing at himself:

"Anyway, I understand the truth. Most of the borrowed money will be borrowed from an enemy. I think if it is really difficult not to borrow, then the money borrowed should be your own spare money."

"Because the impact on feelings in this way can be minimized as much as possible."

Looking around, Police Officer Wang asked again: "I don't know if you have noticed? This small help is easy to raise nobles, and big help is easy to raise enemies."

"Do you think this is the reality? Most of the friends will eventually get separated, and only a very few can grow old from the beginning to the end, which is considered very small."

"Furthermore, such a relationship and friendship are very precious. Even brothers must settle accounts clearly. This is not a matter of pettiness."

"Especially when both parties have their own families, the husband and wife are poor and humble, and they will really mourn everything."

"Love returns to love, material to material, especially in today's social situation where reality likes to compare."

"In the course of time, any small matter will kill two people."

"If you do well, be more humble, if you do poorly, don't be empty-hearted."

"Because in 30 years in Hedong, in 30 years in Hexi, and in 60 years, everything will return to the west."

"Haha, Old Wang, stop talking, you know too much, you're going to be murdered." Hearing Police Officer Wang confide here, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but tease.

...

...

The work in the morning ended quickly, at noon, when everyone came to the Furong branch for dinner, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that the caller was Zhang Jingde, Gu Chen pressed the answer button without saying a word: "Uncle Zhang."

"Gu Chen, I have already done the work for you that you entrusted to me. There is an electronic equipment factory in the high-tech zone that is looking for someone, and Gao Fei has been notified to go for an interview."

"And I heard from a leader over there that Gao Fei has been recruited, and Gao Fei can bring his own luggage and move to the factory's staff dormitory today."

"Great, thank you, Uncle Zhang." Seeing that the matter was resolved, Gu Chen felt extremely relieved.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "So Gao Fei's matter is settled?"

"It's settled. Uncle Zhang's work efficiency is quite high. He's at the other end of the high-tech zone and has a lot of contacts. Everyone gives him face."

"So the company that Gao Fei entered should not trick him, and Gao Fei can work there for a while."

"This is the best." He Junchao couldn't help but joked after taking a bite of the meal:

"However, people nowadays are under a lot of pressure, and they are prone to collapse at every turn."

"I hope these people can live well. Living is more important than anything else."

Everyone smiled slightly when they heard the words, and continued to enjoy the delicacies in their respective bowls.

Since Jiangnan City is currently in the peak period of job hopping and job recruitment, the demand for jobs is also very high.

After the Gao Fei incident, Gu Chen reported the details of the incident through Bai Xiaolan's Jiangnan TV station and Jiang Xiaomi's Jiangnan Daily, which quickly attracted the attention of leaders from all sides.

Therefore, within a few days after this incident, many areas in Jiangnan City were preparing to hold spring talent recruitment fairs, and the results were pretty good.

...

...

At 7:00 p.m., the office of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Sub-bureau.

When Gu Chen came to the comprehensive office area from his independent office of the deputy director, he found that Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were still sorting out their documents.

As for He Junchao, because of various technical hardware upgrades, he needs various training sessions.

Everyone worked very hard, but they all worked hard in their respective positions.

Gu Chen just wanted to ask everyone, do you need to bring some supper?

But before he could say anything, the landline beside him rang.

The ringing of the phone drew everyone's attention to him.

Without further ado, Gu Chen directly pressed the hands-free button: "Hi, this is the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. May I help you?"

"Comrade policeman, I...my husband is missing, and I'm afraid something will happen to him."

On the phone, there was a choked up voice of a middle-aged woman.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's your specific situation?"

"My husband has severe depression. This morning, when I got up, I didn't find my husband."

"Then, all day long, I couldn't find him, and I didn't answer the phone. I... I was really afraid that something was wrong with him."

Sniffing, the woman on the other end of the phone said again: "My husband suffers from depression, and I'm just worried that he can't think about it, so."

"Don't be in a hurry." Gu Chen recorded all the woman's remarks just now on the note paper at the side, and then asked again:

"What's your husband's name?"

"He Lijie." The middle-aged woman said.

"What about your age?" Gu Chen asked.

"42 years old."

"What exactly does he do? What kind of clothes does he wear when he leaves home?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"He He……"

Here, Gu Chen's voice fell, but the middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone suddenly became hesitant.

Gu Chen frowned, and continued to ask: "Is there any question?"

"Oh, no, my husband is unemployed now, we...we just moved here from Shanghai, and we...we went bankrupt."

When the woman said this, she seemed to have a choked tone.

When Gu Chen heard this, he hurriedly comforted him: "It's nothing, then go on, what kind of clothes did your husband wear before going out?"

"It's a green casual jacket, and a pair of black trousers. The shoes...the shoes are a pair of Nike sneakers, black."

"He has been dressed like this for the past few days. Because of our bankruptcy, my husband has been depressed and in a bad mood during this time."

"But as a wife, I can't help much. I can only take care of the two children at home."

Sucking her nose, the middle-aged woman also choked up and said: "Since the bankruptcy, my husband has locked himself at home for half a year, and then he couldn't make it any longer, so he had to move back to his hometown in Jiangnan City from his villa in Shanghai. "

"He suffered from depression and had the idea of ​​committing suicide, but I persuaded him with good words and gave up the idea."

"However, today's leaving without saying goodbye makes me feel very uneasy. I always feel that he will do something to hurt me."

"I am very worried about his safety now. I cannot live without him, nor can our family live without him."

"Comrade police, please help me find my husband and bring him back safely, okay?"

At the end of the woman's speech, she also burst into tears.

Gu Chen also hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, tell me your home address, and I'll see if I can track your husband's whereabouts through surveillance."

"If there is news, we will help you bring your husband home..."

Seeing that the woman was emotionally unstable, Gu Chen hurriedly comforted her, and asked for some additional information.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen also tore off the sticky note and went directly to He Junchao.

Since Gu Chen pressed the hands-free button, He Junchao could hear the conversation in the office clearly.

But when he took Gu Chen's note, he said with a worried face: "What's going on during this time? Are people nowadays so stressed?"

"Some time ago, there was a high-flying boss who almost had a nervous breakdown because his mobile phone was shut down for arrears, and now there is another bankrupt boss whose whereabouts are unknown."

"Could it be kidnapped by creditors?" Yuan Shasha asked speculatively.

"Who knows?" Lu Weiwei also shook her head.

Police officer Wang couldn't help but tease: "Well, it seems that missing people is the main theme during this period of time. He Junchao, you should hurry up if you need to find someone every day."

"Understood." He Junchao took a deep breath and began to investigate feebly.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, sat back in his seat in the general office area and continued to wait for the next news.

Ten minutes later, He Junchao replied, and he was talking to himself.

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked curiously, "Senior Brother He, have you found anyone?"

"I found it." He Junchao said, staring at the screen.

"Then what did you find here? Tell me the address quickly?" Lu Weiwei also saw He Junchao dawdling here, and couldn't help complaining.

But He Junchao gave a "tsk" and said with a puzzled face: "I feel that people nowadays like to run to the Second Binjiang Bridge whenever they have troubles? Aren't you afraid of blowing your mind?"

"What? Another missing person at Binjiang Second Bridge?" Hearing what He Junchao said, Yuan Shasha's eyes lit up.

He Junchao nodded silently: "Isn't it? Binjiang No. 2 Bridge, that man named He Lijie is now sitting alone where Gao Fei sat last time, and he is doing the same thing, curling up there."

Hearing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen immediately got up and came to his side.

And He Junchao also pointed out He Lijie's location on the surveillance screen, and said, "Look, it's exactly the same place as Gao Fei stayed last time. These people are in a bad mood, why do they like to run here?"

"Maybe I want to calm myself down? After all, didn't you just say that? It's windy over there, blow your mind, so you can wake up." Officer Wang complained.

"Who knows?" He Junchao didn't know either.

But Gu Chen didn't care so much, thinking that everyone still had work in hand, so he asked casually: "Who is free now?"

"Me." Lu Weiwei raised her hand without hesitation and said, "I'm free."

"Senior Sister Lu's job..."

"There's no rush, it's okay to come back and do it." Lu Weiwei said.

"That's fine, let's go to the Second Binjiang Bridge." While speaking, Gu Chen immediately went to the wall to take off the single police equipment.

While putting on the equipment, Lu Weiwei also asked Gu Chen, "Do you need some takeaway?"

"I don't need it for now." While Gu Chen was speaking, he had already walked out of the office door.

...

...

When the police car with the license plate ending in ae86 was parked firmly at the head of Binjiang Second Bridge, a tired middle-aged fat man slowly raised his head.

He saw the flashing police lights in front of him.

As soon as he looked up, he found Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in uniforms, who had already come to them.

"Your name is He Lijie?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's right." He Lijie nodded slightly, and said with a wry smile, "My wife called the police, right?"

"That's right, your lover is going crazy, saying that he hasn't seen you all day, and that you have depression, let us help find you and bring you back." Lu Weiwei said.

He Lijie shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm fine, I just want to come out alone to calm down."

"Mr. He, what's the matter, let's talk about it in the car. It's so cold outside and the wind is so strong. What should I do if I catch a cold?"

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "There is heating in the car."

"Okay." Seeing the two policemen standing in front of him, he couldn't insist on staying at the bridgehead anymore.

Looking at the passers-by on the left and right, He Lijie immediately followed Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and sat in the back seat of the police car.

Lying on the back seat, He Lijie immediately enjoyed the heating in the car.

After seeing He Lijie's relaxed expression through the rearview mirror of the car, Gu Chen did not start the car immediately, but said comfortingly:

"Mr. He, I heard that you are bankrupt? Actually, it's nothing. The big deal is to take a break and start all over again."

"Hehe, I might never get up again." He Lijie rubbed his hands on his face after hearing what Gu Chen said, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Lu Weiwei fetched a bottle of mineral water from the car, handed it to He Lijie in the back seat and said, "Drink some water."

"Thank you." He Lijie took the water and gulped it down.

Gu Chen asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it, it's at a nearby noodle shop." He Lijie said.

"Okay." Seeing that He Lijie had dinner, Gu Chen gave up the idea of ​​taking him for supper.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "By the way, Mr. He was doing big business in Shanghai before?"

Thinking that He Lijie didn't want to go home anyway, he decided to enlighten Gu Chen here.

After all, the last time Gao Fei had an emotional breakdown, he also curled up at the bridgehead of the Second Riverside Bridge, which was where He Lijie curled up just now.

It was also the same place, the same police car, myself and Gu Chen, all kinds of persuasion finally made Gao Fei feel relieved.

He thought that he could use the same method, sit in the car, communicate with He Lijie in a relatively relaxed environment, and let He Lijie untie his knots.

Seeing that the beautiful policeman wanted to know his experience, He Lijie simply shared with the two:

"I am in Shanghai and have done many businesses, including restaurant chains, I also opened a film and television company, and some other brand agency businesses."

"Then Mr. He's previous business was quite big?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but agree with He Lijie, who was also in big business.

I also want He Lijie to find the sense of belonging that he had back then.

But at this moment, He Lijie seemed to have no light in his eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"This is all in the past, as glorious as it was in the past, as miserable as it is now."

"My capital chain has been broken for three years now, and my debt is eight figures. In just three years, my life has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"Eight figures in debt?" Gu Chen was also shocked when he heard this figure.

After all, eight-figure debt means that it may be really difficult to turn over.

However, Gu Chen once chatted with an online car-hailing driver. That online car-hailing driver was in the clothing business back then, and had a brilliant past.

But later he went bankrupt, and in order to pay off his debts, he also chose to start as a simple online car-hailing driver.

First of all, feed the family and meet the basic life of the family.

So Gu Chen shared the things he came into contact with with He Lijie who was sitting in the back row.

Listening to Gu Chen's sharing, He Lijie gave a wry smile and said:

"Compared to that strong online car-hailing driver, I'm afraid I can't do it. After all, my previous achievements are not at the same level as his."

"That is to say, your business is much bigger than his?" Lu Weiwei also asked curiously.

He Lijie nodded slightly: "That's right, I lived in a villa before and drove a luxury car."

"Before the age of 40, I have been smooth sailing, opened a restaurant, invested in real estate, established a film and television company, drove a luxury car, lived in a villa, and had assets worth hundreds of millions."

Sucking his nose, He Lijie also said with infinite emotion:

"However, in just a few years, everything has changed. I am in eight-figure debt and smoke four packs of cigarettes a day."

While speaking, He Lijie's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

As for Gu Chen, who was sitting in the front row of the driving seat, he saw all of this through the rearview mirror of the car.

"It's okay." Gu Chen said reassuringly.

He Lijie in the back row gave a wry smile, rubbed his face, and said again: "How beautiful was I back then?"

"But now, I am unkempt and unkempt. Although it is difficult to accept, I can only continue walking. I hope that when I am old, I can thank myself for my courage to start again."

With a sob, He Lijie said again: "I am 42 years old this year. Do you know how much my savings are when I earn the most money?"

"One hundred million, you just said it." Gu Chen said.

He Lijie smiled lightly, and stretched out two fingers: "My deposit is the deposit that I can control, which is close to...two small goals, which is nearly 200 million."

"And when I was the best in Shanghai, I had a luxury car in my hand, and I bought a lot of real estate at that time. I also bought houses abroad. Many countries have my real estate."

"And my children go to the best international school in Shanghai, and their expenses can be imagined."

"However, when I moved out of my villa at the beginning of this year, I felt that everything that happened was like a cloud of the past, and it was like a dream."

"And this dream lasted for decades, and when I woke up, things were already different."

"My monthly loan is now six figures, that is to say, if one day the capital chain is broken, I will not be able to repay these loans."

"Now I'm thinking that the biggest mistake people make is to think that tomorrow will be better than today."

After a pause, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and He Lijie said again: "A few years ago, in the catering industry I was first familiar with, I registered six brands in one go, and invested everywhere in the country. How beautiful was that time?"

"But I encountered some difficulties later, but as far as I can see today, I did a very stupid thing. I expanded against the trend. I finally spent more than 10 million to complete this thing."

"I was very confident in the first year, because my capital chain was still enough to support it, but when it dragged on to the second year, I felt a little uncertain."

"I think this matter is not as simple as imagined. When you have no income, you will feel that your funds will gradually decrease, and you will be under a lot of pressure."

Taking a deep breath, He Lijie also complained to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:

"Later, I felt that I was like a headless chicken. I blindly invested in some small projects and all failed."

"Whatever I invest in fails? I don't know what happened during that time?"

"And then, all of this exacerbated the break of my fast capital chain."

"From the beginning of last year, I probably knew that the general trend was over, and then the whole industry would be subversive."

"When you thought it wasn't just my family and so many big crocodiles had already fallen, as a small and medium-sized player like us, it's impossible for you to come back."

"So I was thinking at home, and I haven't gone out for about half a year."

"You know that I used to be a non-smoker. Do you know how many cigarettes I have a day now? How many packs of cigarettes? I can't hold down four or five packs of cigarettes."

"And I smoke a cigarette, it only takes 40 seconds."

Smiling, He Lijie also shook his head and complained:

"I used to have a physical examination twice a year, but now I haven't had a physical examination for three years, and I don't even dare to have a physical examination."

"I used to have light in my eyes, but now there is no light in my eyes."

Broke, the city I lived in for decades no longer has a connection with me.

I didn't go out for half a year, that's the state. I went to the hospital and showed severe depression. I even thought about ending my life.

Many friends encouraged me, and I received many private messages every day. In fact, I was exposed to that kind of encouragement, but you know, you can't change anything.
