Rebirth Starts From 2006

,!

Chen Yang spent the whole day in the fields.

Burning wildfires, fishing, grilling fish,

I also bought a baby chicken from a house at the end of the village, and made a beggar's chicken with a little fuss. The ingredients were sweet potatoes and potatoes dug freshly from the ground. I won't mention the taste. Anyway, the four of us ate it to the fullest.

The person who originally caught the chicken, Chen Yang, the head of the household who wanted to call Uncle Jiu after who knows how many generations, refused to ask for money, but Boss Chen took advantage of others and ran away after throwing away a hundred yuan.

A baby chicken only costs twenty or thirty yuan, and I still lost money for two chickens.

In the evening, Chen Yangcai took Jackson back to his grandmother's house.

"Old Jie, I have something to go back to town, so I won't have dinner with you, uh..."

Chen Yang burped, tilted his head and glanced at his grandmother who was busy in the kitchen, and said mysteriously, "I'll teach you one more trick. I usually don't tell others."

Jackson's eyes suddenly lit up after playing for a day, "What is it?"

Chen Yang leaned into his ear and whispered,

Then he looked at him from a distance, "Do you understand?"

Jackson's eyes were dazed, "What you just said was Chinese!"

Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly, he turned to look at the translator who was suppressing a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to roast sweet potatoes in the stove?"

The translator immediately raised his chin and said confidently, "This is my specialty!"

Just kidding, are there any children from rural areas who can’t roast sweet potatoes in a stove? !

"become,"

Chen Yang pointed at Jackson, "Then just tell him and say it's my unique secret recipe."

Then, regardless of the translator's constipated expression, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Grandma, we're going home."

"Let's go after eating."

Grandma rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand and said with a straight face, "It's hard to come back here without even eating."

Chen Yang hurried over, hugged his grandmother with one hand, and touched his belly with the other. He chuckled and said, "I just caught a baby chicken and roasted it at Uncle Jiu's house in the afternoon. I really can't eat it anymore."

Zou Rong also grinned and ran to the other side to hug her grandmother's arm, "Grandma, Yangyang still has something to deal with, otherwise she would definitely not leave today."

Upon hearing this, grandma had no choice but to say angrily to Chen Yang, "You little monkey, even married people are still like children. Your seventh master said that you almost burned down the field ridges." .”

The rules here are that engagement equals marriage, so in the eyes of his family, Boss Chen is also a member of the family.

Chen Yang giggled, "They are all weeds anyway, and they can be used as fertilizer when burned."

Grandma gave him a funny look and asked, "Do you have any money for Uncle Jiu's chicken?"

"Give it, give it,"

As soon as Chen Yang comforted his grandmother, he ran away, "I'm going back. I'll come back during the New Year."

Before he finished speaking, he didn't bother to say hello to Jackson, so he pulled Zou Rong and ran out, got into the car driven by Cheng Chonglin, and drove slowly towards the town.

As for Jackson, he was listening intently to the translator's explanation on how to use the cooking stove to roast some fragrant sweet potatoes for himself.

…

When we arrived at the town, it was already dark.

The car did not drive into Wangjiangyuan Community, but passed through the center of the town and drove a little further, entering the backyard of Hengli Hotel.

From the exclusive elevator to the eighth floor, Chen Yang and Zou Rong walked into a luxuriously decorated reception room. Not long after they sat down at the main table, and just took two sips of a cup of coffee, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

Cheng Chonglin walked in first, and then stood behind him, followed by several bodyguards, each finding a place to stand.

Finally, there are two crooked nuts, one black and one white.

Seeing Chen Yang, the two people were obviously a little excited.

But after looking at the big bodyguards standing next to him, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Chen Yang stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand, "Andy and Rhett, welcome to China."

Andy and Rhett looked at each other, hurried forward and shook Boss Chen's hand respectively.

"Hello Mr. Chen, it's a great honor to meet you."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, motioning for the two of them to sit down.

Then he, Zou Rong, and the translator who had just been transferred from other places took their seats.

Looking at the two people sitting on the sofa, who were a little embarrassed, Chen Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out a rare cigarette and lit it,

I don’t know what happened, and he didn’t deliberately quit smoking, but before he knew it, the craving for cigarettes he brought back from his previous life disappeared. Except for smoking one at certain times, in most cases, he would often forget to smoke. Maybe if you put a pack of cigarettes in your pocket, you can smoke for half a year.

Otherwise, if we were burning wildfires outside today, we wouldn’t even have a lighter.

He closed the lighter with a ding and placed it on the coffee table. Then he blew out a puff of smoke. Chen Yang looked at the two of them and smiled, "I've made you two suffer a lot in the past two days. I hope you don't mind."

Andy quickly shook his head and waved his hands, and said sincerely, "No, no, we were too reckless."

When he said this, he was still a little scared.

Having been in China for more than half a year, he has interviewed many rich people and found that the rich here seem to pay little attention to personal safety, including some billionaires who do not have their own professional bodyguards.

At most, you need to find a stronger driver who can also serve as a bodyguard. Unlike in the United States, where you are always followed by more than a dozen people.

Under the fixed mindset, he also thought that Chen Yang was in this situation. The day before yesterday, when Chen Yang finally drove out by himself, this impression was further confirmed.

But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it,

They had just stopped the car, and before they could knock on the door and call for help, ten big men jumped out from the car in front of them and the car behind them and controlled them.

And ten more people came up from behind and surrounded the car to protect Chen Yang. Only then did he realize that the rich people did not have bodyguards, but they were not as high-profile as the rich people in the United States.

If it were in the United States, if they acted like they did the day before yesterday, even if they were directly punished, the judge would not find them guilty, and at most they would give themselves some symbolic compensation.

If you encounter some unscrupulous rich people, you may not even get compensation.

Thinking about the situation at that time, the bodyguards all had their hands in their coat pockets, obviously hiding something. Fortunately, they did not do any other extreme behavior at the time, otherwise it is hard to say what the consequences would be.

After walking through the gate of hell for a while, could the two of them not be afraid?

Hearing that these two people were so understanding, Chen Yang also nodded seriously, "It is indeed a bit reckless. Your behavior is very unsafe. Whether here or in the United States, it is easy to cause misunderstandings and may be suspected of breaking the law." ,"

Andy and Red suddenly felt their hearts pounding. They didn't know whether it was illegal here, but it did involve certain aspects of the law in the United States. Thinking about it, it should be similar here.

At the same time, I also knew in my heart that the fact that the two of them were imprisoned for two days could only be treated as if it never happened. Otherwise, if Boss Chen had no idea whether something was wrong, he would definitely be the first to be unlucky.

Seeing that the faces of the two of them were getting darker and darker, Chen Yang smiled again and said, "But fortunately, it didn't cause any bad consequences. It's a blessing among misfortunes."

After a pause, he looked at the two people who were laughing and said, "I heard that you are here to do an exclusive interview with me?"

Then before the two of them could speak, Chen Yang shrugged helplessly, "But unfortunately, I have just announced my official retirement and decided not to accept any more interviews, so this trip for you will be in vain. "

retire?

Andy and Rhett looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Are you kidding me?

Not to mention that Boss Chen is only in his twenties and has only started his business for two years. It is said that not long after Rainbow Group was established, he, the biggest boss behind the scenes, is about to retire. Isn't that funny?

Did he lie to them on purpose?

Seeing the suspicious expressions on their faces, Chen Yang dusted off his cigarette ashes and said with a smile, "You will know this kind of thing as soon as you check it. There is no need for me to lie to you."

After hearing this, Andy and Rhett finally reluctantly believed it,

No matter how unreasonable it is, whether Chen Yang retires or not is ultimately his own business, and outsiders have no right to interfere.

What followed was endless frustration. The purpose of their coming to China was to interview the youngest self-made billionaire in the world, but before they even met anyone, he announced his retirement.

How can this be done? !

From the moment they walked in until now, apart from saying hello and saying one more word at the beginning, the two of them were blocked and didn't even have a chance to speak.

I don't even know what to say now.

At this time, Chen Yang coughed dryly. After attracting their attention, he chuckled and said, "Although you can't give me an exclusive interview, I have a job here. It depends on whether you are interested."

Andy and Red looked at each other and finally said their first words, "Work? What is that?"

Chen Yang smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and said, "I asked someone to verify that you are indeed a special correspondent for the financial column of the Wall Street Journal.

However, in addition to financial news, you also write some press releases on people's livelihood, culture, etc., but you are not as famous as the financial column.

Or,"

Chen Yang looked at the two of them meaningfully and said with a smile, "The royalties in those areas are not as high as those in financial reporting, right?!"

Andy raised his eyebrows and shrugged calmly, "Yes, you guessed it right, we are reporters, but we are also businessmen. Since we are all writing reports, of course we have to write more expensive ones!"

"Okay, you are quite candid indeed."

Chen Yang clapped softly while holding a cigarette in his mouth, then held the cigarette in his hand, pointed at the two of them and said, "In that case, I will invite you two to continue writing news reports on people's livelihood, culture and other aspects in China, and send them to the United States. Published in newspapers,

In addition to the manuscript fee you can get from the newspaper, I will also subsidize you an extra copy of the manuscript fee according to the price of financial news,"

Chen Yang smiled and made gestures, "How about making two profits from one report? Do you want to do this business?"

When Chen Yang finished speaking, Andy looked at him blankly. After a few seconds, he raised his hands and gestured and said,

"Wait a minute, let me think about it first,"

After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, "What do you mean, do you want Rhett and I to continue to stay in China and write press releases on people's livelihood and culture here?"

Chen Yang raised his hand to signal him, "Excuse me, people's livelihood and culture are just an example I gave, including scenery, geography, folk customs, etc., all aspects can be used,

But one thing is that it must be a positive report, or at least a neutral stance. Negative or even malicious smear reports are absolutely not allowed.

Do you understand? "

"Well,"

Looking at Boss Chen who was extremely serious, Andy swallowed, turned to look at Rhett, who was also a little scared, turned around and said with a forced smile, "I understand."

After a pause, he quickly said, "But, we are just two young reporters. Although we can write any kind of press release, we have no right to interfere, let alone decide whether to use it or not. That is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this. If you can take this job, I will give you a list of newspapers after a while. As long as you submit articles to these newspapers , they will definitely use it.”

"Well,"

Andy was speechless again,

He almost forgot that the man in front of him was one of the richest people in the world. It was entirely possible to acquire several newspapers or part of the newspaper's shares.

Moreover, these categories are just insignificant things such as people's livelihood, culture, and scenery, and are not as sensitive as political governance and religion.

That being the case, what else is there to consider? !

You know, these types of press releases are not too simple. He doesn't even need to go out. Just based on his experience in the past six months, he can write a dozen of them.

Unlike financial press releases, which require professionalism, professionalism and professionalism, and even a lot of information that requires a lot of time and energy to collect, otherwise he would not have traveled all the way to China with Rhett.

Manuscripts are more expensive, not without reason;

Now we can sell ordinary press releases at financial prices, and the price we have to pay is just working here.

Thinking of this, Andy immediately raised his head with a troubled expression on his face, "Mr. Chen, I am very willing to accept this job, but it is too far away from my home. My family are all in the United States.

Moreover, we have to spend a lot of travel expenses here every day, which is a big burden..."

Looking at the two people who were a little happy but still pretending to be hesitant, Chen Yang curled his lips and said,

He calmly took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, then looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "In addition, I will give you an annual expense subsidy of US$30,000, is that enough?"

Andy turned his head and glanced at Rhett, who was full of excitement. He silently decided to continue bargaining, turned back and grinned, "Deal!"

Pig teammate, if he can hide his expression, maybe he can negotiate for an additional ten thousand dollars, at least five thousand!

Andy, who was thinking silently in his heart, stood up and shook hands with Boss Chen respectfully.

From today on, the two of them are Boss Chen's non-staff employees.

Chen Yang raised his hand and pressed it down gently, smiling at the two of them,

"Very good. When you become famous in the future, when you look back on the past, you will definitely be happy because of today's decision!"
