Chapter 229 Find something to do

Looking at the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality, he has now become an ordinary person who works from nine to six, has a wife and children, and has gained weight and a beer belly is clearly visible.

"Brother, all women are like this. You already earn more than many people, and now you do housework and cook.

Listen to me, let's find a better one. Are you worried about not being able to find a good woman if you have money?"

Gu Yu looked as if he was doing this for your own good. Li He, who had just raised his glass to clink glasses, just stood there in a daze.

"That's not the case. For someone like me, how can I find someone better? Others won't look down on me.

Besides, we only quarrel occasionally, and we are fine usually. Look at everything on me, which one was not bought by her?

Besides, brother, a woman who follows you because you are rich is not a good woman at all. You should be careful in the future."

Li He didn't need Gu Yu to persuade him anymore, he knew it clearly in his heart.

"Haha, that's right. It's normal for a couple to quarrel occasionally.

I envy you for having someone who cares about you every day."

Gu Yu was no longer as empathetic and excited as before. He raised his glass and clinked it with Li He.

"Oh, you are pretending, and you look pretty good. I just thought you really wanted me to get a divorce, and I was wondering in my heart, but it turns out you are not like that."

Li He breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of beer to calm himself.

"You're a good actor, right? I have a little money now, and I'm thinking about entering the entertainment industry to act in dramas and find a female star to be my wife."

Gu Yu smiled at first, then looked serious again.

Li He on the opposite side was not sure whether Gu Yu was just joking or really intended to do so.

"At our age, why do we still want to enter the entertainment industry? Besides, don't you worry that female stars will think you are an honest person?" Li He still persuaded.

"You make sense. I'll change my dream. I've decided to start practicing football from today.

Let's form an amateur team and try to beat the professional Chinese Super League teams within four years." Gu Yu's expression became relaxed again.

"You're kidding me again. However, there is a high possibility that this second dream will come true." Li He shook his head helplessly.

The two of them drank and chatted about everything under the sun, talking about their current lives and reminiscing about their youthful student days.

“At that time, apart from studying, I was interested in everything. I just wanted to graduate quickly and go to any university. I thought I would be free then.” Li He said with a little regret.

"Yeah, I was so stupid back then. I actually wanted to grow up quickly." Gu Yu also sighed.

The two clinked their glasses again and drank them all in one gulp.

"By the way, I saw from your circle of friends that you moved to Wanda Mansion. Did you sell your original house?"

"No, I'm keeping it."

"Why keep it? The market is not good now. The house prices will not rise as much as they have in the past ten years."

"I had no money, but my whole family worked together to buy the river view house of my dreams in Zhongjia Village.

A two-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters on the 57th floor, how much is left after deducting the common area?

I work hard every day, I dare not get sick, I dare not ask for leave,

It takes me an hour and a half to commute to get off work, and I dare not change jobs because I have to pay my mortgage on time every month.

At this age, I haven’t established a family, let alone a successful career. If I have to ask my family for the mortgage, how bad is my life going?”

Listening to Gu Yu's words, Li He couldn't help but empathize with him, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Although his career is not so-so, he has not had any children since he got married. Both he and his wife are only children.

Both families also contributed money to help the couple settle down in Jiangcheng, so the pressure of mortgage was not too great.

I also bought a car worth about 200,000 yuan. Our life is not as good as others but better than others, but I really don't dare to have children.

"Now that I have a little money, I'll keep that house. It's where my dignity lives!"

"Then you have quite a bit of dignity."

“It only got bigger recently.”

Gu Yu and Li He smiled at each other, money is a man's courage.

“In fact, the market is still not good, but I think in two or three years, when the economy is past the stagnation period,

Houses in good locations in Jiangcheng are still valuable, and it will be worthwhile to sell them when the time comes.”

The two of them ate, drank and chatted as the night gradually deepened.

Li He's cell phone rang. It was his wife calling. Seeing the smile on Li He's face, she knew that they had reconciled.

"Your wife asked when you'll be home?"

"Haha, I'm scared to be alone at home."

"Okay, now that we've eaten and drunk enough, let's go home."

Gu Yu stood up and asked the boss to pay the bill. He fought with Li He for the bill but failed. The other party's buttocks were really plump and he pushed Gu Yu aside.

Gu Yu smiled and shook his head, then opened the designated driver app on his phone and found a designated driver for each of them.

"Next time, lend me your car so I can experience what it feels like to drive a million-dollar car."

Li He walked around Gu Yu's car, admiring it inside and out, and said enviously.

"Of course you should. Tell me when you get home."

"You too."

Gu Yu returned home and thought about the past few days. His house became bigger, he bought a nice car, and he no longer had to work, but he didn't know why, he felt a little empty.

Gu Yu wants to do something. It's a bit early to just eat and wait for death at this age.

The next day, Gu Yu contacted his aunt Chen Xi in Beijing.

Chen Xi is the daughter of Gu Yu's grandmother's younger sister. In fact, they are quite distant relatives.

But he has a very good relationship with Gu Yu's mother. He was raised by his mother when he was a child, and they have always been in contact.

After graduating from Renmin University, she joined Goldman Sachs and worked as the investment director of Goldman Sachs China. Later, she started her own business.

He bought a house in Beijing and settled down in Haisheng Mingyuan, Dongzhimen. Gu Yu also searched for house prices and found that it was 13 yuan per square meter. At that time, Gu Yu shook his head.

He has never been married and is still living alone at the age of almost 40. Before the epidemic, Gu Yu accompanied his mother to Beijing to stay at his aunt's house for a week.

"Xiao Yu, you haven't chatted with your aunt for a while." Chen Xi said softly with a smile on the other side of the phone.

Gu Yu's mother's hometown is in Jiangsu Province, and people there mostly speak in a soft, gentle Wu dialect.

"It's not that I'm not doing well, so I'm embarrassed to look for my aunt." Gu Yu replied a little embarrassedly.

Gu Yu's accent is a fusion of all over the country. He had a roommate who was from Northeast China.

"Child, no matter how well you do, I am still your aunt." Chen Xi's tone became a little more serious.

"Yes, yes, you are right. I have come to my senses recently, so I called you.

And I decided to increase the frequency of calling you to my mother's level." Gu Yu apologized first, and then started joking.

"Haha, that's not necessary. I'm not like your mom. I'm retired and have a lot of free time. I'll wait for your call every day."

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yu turned the topic to venture capital.

“The economy has been sluggish in the past two years, and the market environment has not been good, so many investors are reluctant to invest in projects.

We used to say that one or two out of ten projects would guarantee a profit, but now it is difficult to save even one out of fifty.

If you are interested, you can first attend a few salons or venture capital cocktail parties to learn more, and don’t rush to invest in projects.”

Chen Xi helped Gu Yu arrange tickets for several cocktail parties and salons, and also gave him time to go to Beijing to find her.
