"How much do you need?" Chen Dalong asked while he ate a peanut.

"Seventy thousand." Tang Tianbao didn't dare to say anything more. He knew that although Chen Dalong had been working here for many years, he didn't necessarily save up too much money.

"No problem." Chen Dalong readily agreed.

When Tang Tianbao saw that Chen Dalong had agreed to his request, he immediately felt at ease. This was not Tang Tianbao's first time borrowing money from Chen Dalong. When they were at school together, he would often borrow money from Chen Dalong. It was precisely because he didn't return the money every time he borrowed that made Tang Tianbao feel a little uncomfortable.

Tang Tianbao raised his wine cup and said, "Come, Dalong. I'll give you one, and I'll definitely pay you back. "

Chen Dalong also lifted up his wine cup and clinked it with Tang Tianbao's. "Let's not talk about that between us brothers." Actually, Chen Dalong was very clear in his heart, that his good friends and brothers often became enemies after splitting up because of money. He did his best to control himself and to not think about those living examples. He believed in Tang Tianbao. He believed in the friendship between the two of them.

Chen's company is Flying Bird Sports Leisure Clothing Co., Ltd. Last time, Tang Tianbao made a free advertisement for the company. This advertisement also played a huge role, causing the sales of Flying Bird Sports Leisure Clothing to plummet. And Chen Dalong is the sales manager of this company. He had been in the company for three years, from a salesperson who went out to market all day to the current sales manager, and he had been through a lot of hardships. At that time, Flying Bird sports apparel was in its prime, and it had risen sharply. Chen Dalong was not only training here, but he also earned a lot of money. He bought a house and car in Chaozhou City. "For someone who has never been to a university, it is a good thing that he has been able to get along like this in just a few years.

From the moment Chen Dalong agreed to Tang Tianbao's request, he had already come to a conclusion in his heart. Tang Tianbao lending the money to him was a complete waste, and wouldn't have much of an effect. But as a brother for so many years, it was impossible for him to not lend money to Tang Tianbao. It is not a one-night thing to make a name for yourself in Chaozhou. Chen Dalong had been in the same boat for three years, but he still couldn't do it. Could it be that Tang Tianbao could leap into the garment industry and become a top student just by being ranked first in a clothing design competition? "This is a fantasy.

Chen Dalong prepared eighty thousand yuan for Tang Tianbao.

When Tang Tianbao came to Chen Dalong to collect the money that day, Chen Dalong gave Tang Tianbao an analysis of the stakes.

"Old Tang, I've thought about it. I feel that it's not worth it to spend money to buy an honor." Chen Dalong said seriously.

"Dalong, what do you mean?" Tang Tianbao didn't take the cigarette. He looked at Chen Dalong and asked.

"Oh, Old Tang, don't misunderstand. I have eighty thousand here … " As Chen Dalong spoke, he took out the banknotes from his pocket.

"This is what a good brother should be like." Tang Tianbao's face immediately broke into a smile. He took the pile of money and held it in his hand as he sank into deep thought.

"I still feel that you're reliable." Chen Dalong took a puff on his cigarette and said.

"Tell me what you think." Tang Tianbao took out a cigarette from Chen Dalong's pocket and lit it for himself.

"First of all, it's impossible to get first place with eighty thousand dollars. In the clothing design circle, a one hundred and two hundred thousand gift gift was a very normal thing. As for a mere eighty thousand gift, the judges probably wouldn't even put it in their eyes. Secondly, even if you get first place, what's the use? Aren't you still living in that clothing design company? "Therefore, I feel that this matter is extremely unreliable …" Chen Dalong rationally gave Tang Tianbao an analysis.

The dream in Tang Tianbao's heart was the basis for his success. He was like possessed and believed that this was the direction the heavens had given him. With the blessing of the heavens, he would definitely succeed.

Tang Tian Bao smiled awkwardly and said to Chen Dalong, "Dalong, don't worry. If I can get first place this time, then my future days will be like clouds in the sky. "

"Sigh, I keep feeling like …" Chen Dalong still had some concerns.

Tang Tianbao patted Chen Dalong's shoulder and said, "It's fine. I will succeed. Rest assured. "

Since Tang Tianbao was so confident, Chen Dalong didn't say anything to stop him.

"I know a senior from the clothing industry. I'll introduce him to you. It might help a lot with your design. " Chen Dalong felt that since he couldn't stop Tang Tianbao, he might as well help him. Maybe this guy would have some dog shit luck.

The person that Chen Dalong brought Tang Tianbao to meet was called Du Wenjiang. He was one of the most powerful figures in the fashion design world in Chaozhou. Although he was already over the age of ten, his face was still glowing red. Grandpa Du was also one of the few legendary figures in Chaozhou City. His ancestors were people of Jiangsu and his family was in tailoring business. The business was once exceptionally flourishing, so naturally, Du Wenjiang's father became a well-known businessman. However, there was a big tree and a big tree. People were afraid of being famous, but pigs were afraid of being famous. Du Wenjiang's father's business was too hot, causing his peers to be jealous. Du Wenjiang's father, at the moment of his death, clasped Du Wenjiang's hand and said, "Son, you must remember that virtue makes wealth." At that time, Du Wenjiang was only 8 years old, and he followed his mother to a Chaozhou city. From then on, it was very difficult for mother and son to live by each other. And his mother died when he was ten. From then on, he started his life by himself. He started out as an apprentice in clothing for the sake of a meal, which lasted for 20 years. In the last twenty years, Du Wenjiang had become an active designer. Ten years later, Du Wenjiang participated in the design of "Flying Bird", a clothing brand once popular in Chaozhou City. And Du Wenjiang himself from an unknown designer jump into Chaozhou's clothing design industry. Thirty years later, Du Wenjiang finally understood the true meaning of his parents' dying words, which was why he never set up his own company.

Chen met him at a fashion show, but that was a few years ago. At that time, Chen Dalong was a small salesman in the marketing department of Flying Bird Sports and Leisure Apparel Co., Ltd., but his cleverness was appreciated by Du. From then on, Chen Dalong tightly grabbed the vine that was Old Master Du and did everything he could to find out where Old Master Du lived. Every now and then, he would pay a visit.

Although Grandpa Du was already a successful person in the business world, he didn't have the arrogance of a merchant. On the contrary, he was a senior who was gentle, refined, and had the bearing of an old scholar. He paid a lot of attention to promoting new people in the world of clothing. Whether it was the designer or the merchants that only made clothes, as long as they asked him for advice, he would answer them all no matter what.

It was precisely because of this noble person's help and guidance that Chen Dalong was able to develop rapidly. He was promoted from a small salesperson in the marketing department to a manager's assistant. A year later, the manager in the marketing department jumped in and Chen Dalong took the position of manager. Now the flying bird sports leisure clothing market this part of the young Chen Dalong by himself to pick the beam.

The district that Grandpa Du lived in was in the suburbs, a relatively quiet villa. The surrounding trees were shady, and the area was huge. There were limousines parked under the shady trees.

Tang Tianbao followed behind Chen Dalong, a little nervous.

"Dalong, it's not good for us to be so bold as to pay our respects, right?" Tang Tianbao suddenly saw a supermarket in the villa area. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "The first time we met, it couldn't possibly be empty, right?"

"Nothing much, the old man is very approachable." Chen Dalong thought for a moment and said.

"That won't do. This is the first time we've met, after all. " Tang Tianbao said as he pulled Chen Dalong inside the supermarket.

"Does the old man have any hobbies? Do you smoke?" Do you drink? " Tang Tianbao wandered around the supermarket as he asked Chen Dalong, "Giving it its all is the best way."

"I remember the first time I came to visit I didn't take anything, really. You don't understand Du Wenjiang, but because he's lacking in everything, he doesn't care much about worldly possessions! " Chen Dalong handed over a cigarette to Tang Tianbao and looked at him. He knew that Tang Tianbao wouldn't believe his words. In this society where materials flow freely, could it be that there really was someone that didn't have the slightest interest in materials? Even he didn't believe it, but in reality, Du Wenjiang was that kind of person.

"Aiya, it's fine. "I'm really fine." Chen Dalong suddenly pulled Tang Tianbo and walked out of the supermarket, "The old man doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, what else can you buy for him?"

"Then, can I buy some fruits or tea leaves?" Tang Tianbao said.

In the end, Tang Tianbao still insisted on his point of view. He couldn't believe that in this chaotic society, there was actually someone who wasn't good at property. Tang Tianbao only bought a few fruits, while the tea leaves in the supermarket were basically all inferior goods that couldn't be taken out. If he wanted to buy real good tea leaves, he would have to go to the tea market.

The two of them walked towards Du Wen Jiang's villa one after another.

Tang Tianbao began to blame himself in his heart. Why hadn't he made preparations in advance when he came to see such an important person? He followed behind Chen Dalong, trembling a little, a bad feeling in his heart.

"Did you bring your design?" Chen Dalong suddenly turned to ask Tang Tianbao.

"You didn't tell me to bring paper when you called me." Tang Tianbao grumbled, "To pay a visit to such a powerful person, why didn't you inform him in advance? I need to make some preparations."

Chen Dalong turned around and put his arm around Tang Tianbao's shoulder and said, "Didn't I just remember this? It's okay, this time I'm just talking to old man Du. Tell him about your plan, and have him come up with some ideas for you! "

Tang Tian Bao followed Chen Dalong to the front door of Grandpa Du's villa. He skillfully pressed the doorbell a few times and then picked up the walkie-talkie in front of the security door.

The voice came from the nanny, Auntie Liu. Chen Dalong knew Auntie Liu.

"Hello, Auntie." Is Master Du home? " Chen Dalong asked.

"You are?" Aunt Liu asked.

"Auntie, it's Dalong." Chen Dalong said with a smile.

Due to the video equipment on the walkie-talkie, Aunt Liu looked at the video and confirmed it was really Dalong. She said, "Dalong, Grandpa Du isn't home. Why don't you come up and sit for a while. "

"Oh, so that's the case. Then forget it. Then we'll come back another day. Goodbye Auntie! " Chen Dalong hung up as he spoke.

At this time, when he looked at Tang Tianbao's face, he actually felt less nervous and depressed.

"Bro, I'm sorry. The old man was not at home. "Looks like I won't be able to see you today." Chen Dalong turned around and handed Tang Tianbao a cigarette, "Let's go. We'll come again next time."

"Not seeing it might not be a bad thing." Tang Tianbao patted his chest, and swept away his previous low and tense expression as he said, "Rather than hastily meeting again, why not meticulously prepare a meeting to leave a good impression on the old man. First impressions are very important! "
