C16 Was That Worthy?

The old garden.

It recorded the brilliance of sunlight.

The gate of memory.

It rejected the reply from his hometown.

"Morning, Morning, you're back from the south bank's deserted island?"

Early in the morning, there was rain, and no bright sunlight shone into Thorned Flower Garden's old street office.

Rao Lina shook her head and walked in through the glass door with the word "open. " She looked around at the empty office.

"Yeah, I came back here at 1: 00 in the morning. "

Thorned Green Summer was tired. He didn't return to the apartment he rented last night. Instead, he drove straight back to the closed store. He spent the whole night on the sofa, in a daze. His mind was filled with the memories of the staff elders and the East River New City. When he woke up, he had no time to wash up. He took a stick of gum and chewed it before turning on the computer. He wanted to review the promotional webpage that the Xiong brothers had prepared, but he couldn't help but look at the places that he had worked so hard for over four years.

"What, you can't bear to part with it?" Rao Lina noticed her gaze. Her slim body leaned against the desk and played with her silk-like curly hair. "Recently, I took Little Bear to a few new offices. The environment is much more beautiful and clean than this old street. It's also convenient for you and me to stop the car. "

"Two things. . . . Are you willing? I've been working here for nearly three years. " Thorned Green touched his chin. The stubble that popped out overnight was a little troublesome to deal with.

"I'm fine. " Rao Linna straightened her body and took a cup from the bar at the side. She pressed the automatic coffee machine and found that there was no water, no beans, and the power had been turned off. "I'm not like you, old friends. I've long felt that the development of the 'Sharing of Patterns'. . . I should change to a place close to the fashion circle. Sometimes, when it comes to communication services, I'm too embarrassed to invite customers to the store for a discussion. The surrounding small shops and website recommendations are incompatible!"

"Tsk tsk. " Thorned Green jumped down from his seat and reached out to open the drawer of Big Bear's seat. He took out a packet of milk tea and placed it in front of her. "Just enough to drink. It's going to be demolished soon. I gave the cleaning lady, Little Bear, and the others a long vacation, so I turned off the coffee machine. "

"Hmm?" Rao Lina weighed the milk tea with her slender fingers. She looked at the packaging and put it back on the table in disgust. "I don't drink this. It's all the taste of milk cream! You never drink this yourself. I'll get takeout to bring two cups of coffee over. Just because of this, we can't even move East River New City. "

" Ha, there's no need for you to remind me. I know! " Xia Thorned Green laughed and half-propped himself up on the stage. "But if our income can't support the rental fees in the city center, and we have to move to East River New City, what should we do? When I have no choice, I can bear with it. After all, before I went abroad, I had always eaten fried dough sticks and soy milk on the streets with my grandfather. "

"What are you talking about?" Rao Lina, who was about to order coffee, was a little confused. She looked up at Stranglethorn Green and said, "Didn't you also say that the company must be closer to the city center? How can our online push services be more suitable to the style of deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk? "

"But now deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk stores are also of higher quality. In the early push messages, there is also a new chain of promotions. " Xia Jianqing saw the displeasure of his partner. He didn't dare to say that he really missed the fried dough sticks in the old snack shop at the corner of the street. "Don't worry. I won't move the company to the new city. Before I rent it, the Xiong brothers will first work in the apartment I rented. Do whatever you want. In any case, most of the worklines are connected. "

Rao Lina let out a light sigh. She watched as Thorned Flower walked to the door. After a while, she saw that the glass was still much cleaner than that of the East River New City. She looked at the congested streets and said, "Even if the East River New City is in the daytime, the traffic on the streets isn't even one-tenth of the traffic here. How can it develop?"

"How do you know?" Xia Jianqing was surprised.

"I. . . I saw it from the photos in your space. " Rao Linna tried to cover up her panic.

"I. . . I just can't bear to live on the old street with Grandpa for more than ten years. . . Actually, the small courtyard in the new city villa and the greenery outside are a little old. "

. . . "Haha, I understand. " Rao Lina did not dare to continue the topic. "If you really like that atmosphere, we can add more greenery in our newly rented office. We can also hang more photos of the old street. " But if she really did that, would it be worthy of the office she chose?

"Yes. But last night, my mom also advised me for a long time to not be impulsive and think about my dad's suggestion. "

"Our career can't be decided by the elders. "

"Maybe it's because I called and said that the East River New City is completely empty. Dad feels that there will be more room for development in the future, right? Therefore, I suggest that I continue to expand the business of the East River's north bank. I should also go to the south bank to gather resources and find a suitable opportunity to expand the network and the offline space. "

"Is that possible?" Rao Lina was a bit impatient. "Uncle and aunt didn't pay attention to the situation in the new city of the East River. The moving and housing planning took up half of the city, and most of the surrounding areas were farmers and villages. Even if some of the heavy industries were scattered around, could the residents' spending capacity be compared to the city center? Is it worthy of our promotion in business! "

. . . "Dad's thinking has always been long term. Now that the city is developing rapidly, the new city's environment might be developed in a few years. It's not necessarily impossible to set up a branch company there. " Sensing Rao Lina's emotional agitation, Xia Jianqing turned around and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"A branch company? You saw the situation over there yourself. Over the past few days, there have been photos sent in succession in space. The replies on the web page were basically the same. Dongjiang New City doesn't look like it at all. How can it match up to the city center?"

"Hehe, are you really anxious? You can stay at the headquarters in the city center. I'll go and develop the branch company. "

"Own, you said in the space that it is a 'lone island'. Even if the island is developed, the living habits and consumer awareness of the people will not be able to adapt to high standards of leisure and entertainment. The competition in the profit-making space of the small economy is intense. There is no need for us to compete with the website that has become a giant!"

"Lina, Lina, sit down. " Thorned Green pushed a chair over. "Based on the speed of development in the outskirts of South Coast City and the new city, this is a problem. I think it'll take at least five to six years before it's worth discussing. Our current business will definitely be concentrated in the business circles on the north bank and the surrounding businesses in the middle and high-end districts. An imported home decoration shop at the World Trade Center has opened for business. I've contacted them before, and I'll talk to them in the afternoon. Should I invite you to the World Trade Center for lunch at noon? "

"You were angry all day in the new city yesterday. I should treat you today!" Rao Lina's voice was gentle. Even if she was angry, it was still better than Xin Xiaozi's hard voice, which was filled with the aura of the borderlands' mountain rocks. "When you were studying abroad, you always thought that your career was leading the cutting-edge fashion and leisure. But you won't keep lowering your goals like now! "

"Is that so?" When Xia Jianqing heard the doorbell ring, he turned around and picked up the coffee that had been sent over. "When I first started to promote this online company, my dad gave me the funds, Xia Jianqing said. It's only enough to rent this front of the old street. There's nothing inside. At that time, my heart had turned gray. But it's only been a few years, the business of 'sharing all kinds of things'. . . You see, the white-collar workers and the elites are getting more and more fond of this city. Even my Weibo fan count has almost reached 10,000. Therefore, the office environment does not determine the connotation of the business! "

" But our business needs to display the environment that fits the location to our customers. " Rao Linna's lips, which were covered with Chanel lipstick, pouted. Even though there was no sunlight shining through the window, it was still moist and moving. It made Thorned Flower's heart skip a beat.

"Aren't you here? I remember that at that time, you hadn't graduated and returned to China, but you helped me pick and send these from overseas. " Thorned Flower Xia reached out his hand and touched the artistic ornaments on the table and shelves. "Later, I designed a lot of good ideas for the web page, and gradually, the business of 'Sharing of Patterns' opened. . . "

"The East River is worth our effort! This city has always stood at the forefront of domestic fashion, with elites gathering and famous items gathering. Resources, customers, market potential, and information are all first-rate standards. Even if the Garden Old Street wants to be demolished and rebuilt, it still has a history of nearly a hundred years. It was much better than East River New City being built in the outskirts of a remote city. Our company's connotations should only be improved, not demoted! " Rao Lina held her coffee and leaned over. She flipped through the webpage on Thorned Green's computer. "The photos that you recently posted. . . Will the East River New City, which is struggling in the dust, be worthy of our 'Shared Times'? If we really integrate the residents and the market there. . . I'm afraid that the current customers and reading groups will give up because they look down on us!"

Thorned Green's phoenix eyes gradually narrowed into slits. " Lina, don't say that. After all, I've moved there with many neighbors from the old streets!"
