Chapter 497

Sailing Technology went public in early April.

This year's bull market is even crazier than last year, and the concept that as long as you can go public, you can make money has taken root in people's minds.

All major shareholders unanimously decided to issue the maximum number of shares, and ultimately issued a total of 80 million shares at 37 yuan per share, aiming for 3 billion yuan in financing.

There were also shareholders within the company who bought and sold scattered stocks, but Xu Mingyuan did not care about these matters at all, and had no plans to sell the original shares in his hands.

As Sailing Technology gradually faded from a new company into obscurity, Xu Mingyuan did not experience any emotional fluctuations.

No matter what Xu Mingyuan's future career will be like, he will not have the excitement and anxiety of a start-up company.

Not to mention Sailing Technology, even for Classmates Network and Starry Sky Technology, Xu Mingyuan did not invest much emotion in them.

In the future, Star Technology will develop into a group, far exceeding Xu Mingyuan's past achievements, but what impressed him most was his experience in real estate.

Occasionally, when he dreams back to the past, Xu Mingyuan still clearly remembers the setbacks and hardships he encountered when he was trying to build relationships.

Even though Xu Mingyuan's current status and voice are far greater than before, they are not as profound as those times. Why would he care about his current success and fame now?

Xu Mingyuan did not attend the bell ringing ceremony. Most of the dividends from Sailing Technology were reserved for Star Technology, and the rest were used for the food and clothing of his old father Xu Jun.

Xu Mingyuan's connection with Sailing Technology gradually faded. The reason was very simple: he didn't want his name to appear on the list of listed companies.

On Friday, Xu Mingyuan did not take Xiao Yangzhi out to play, but went straight back to Nanxi.

Little Yangzhi is a little narrow-minded.

After Tao Shuxin's quarrel was over, she could no longer remember it.

But Xiao Yangzhi is not like that. This little girl will remember it for at least three to five days, and it is possible that it may even take a month.

A major reason for this is that Tao Shuxin's number of home visits per week has increased from one day and occasionally two days to two or three days on a regular basis. Together with Saturdays and Sundays, she spends almost half of her time at home.

Xiao Yangzhi could still bear it at first, but as time went on, she became a little anxious and couldn't sleep most of the night.

Last night she sneaked into Xu Mingyuan's bed and scared him awake, and Tao Shuxin fell asleep. This little girl is really brave.

Of course, Xiao Yangzhi was definitely not afraid. After all, she did not feel guilty at all. The only one who felt guilty was Xu Mingyuan.

For this reason, Xu Mingyuan had to spend two days of his weekend to return to Nanxi and spend time with Xiao Yangzhi.

"Did your mother call you again?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Well, my mother asked me to go to Xincheng for fun on May Day."

"What did you say?"

"I do not want to go……"

Yang Zhi moved upwards, rested her head against his chin, and rubbed it gently.

"Did you explicitly refuse?"

"Hmm..." Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No..."

"You can go, I'll go with you."

"I do not want to go."

Yang Zhi's head shook like a rattle.

Yang Zhi was not willing to go to Xincheng, a place he was not familiar with.

What's more, if I go there to find my mother, she will definitely take me around, and I might have to meet some strangers. This is what Yang Zhi hates to do the most.

But Yang Zhi didn't dare to resist her mother's will, so she had to drag it on.

"You don't even explain clearly if you're not going?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Just say you forgot when the time comes."

"Haha, just keep dragging it on?"

"Ah."

Yang Zhi nodded.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and had no intention of intervening.

This kind of fear that has been suppressed psychologically for a long time is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time and can only be eliminated bit by bit.

It's good enough that Xiao Yangzhi has the awareness of resistance now. If the problem cannot be solved in the end, Xu Mingyuan will fight back for her.

After all, we can't let Xiao Yangzhi be so brave at home and act like a little quail outside. It would be too pathetic to be a bully at home.

"Brother, won't you help me refuse?" Yang Zhi asked in a low voice.

"You are an adult now, why do you still think of yourself as a child? Can your mother still beat you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Maybe..."

"Your mother might not be as strong as you, fight back."

"I haven't seen you hit dad..." "Haha, you are such a filial son."

"..."

Yang Zhi was too embarrassed to answer, so he just lowered his head even more.

The days spent together alone are always happy. You can be carefree, just stay together without thinking about anything, and do whatever you want.

The grass and trees on the Nanxi side sprouted a few days later, and the leaves were very sparse. From a distance, they looked all bright green.

Nanxi is two or three degrees colder than Jiangcheng, but it is not on the coast and the wind is very light, so it does not feel as cold as Jiangcheng.

The Xiaoqing River near their home is a place that Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi often visit, but they rarely come here in the winter. Now that spring has finally arrived and the flowers are blooming, they naturally want to take a stroll here.

The wild vegetables that have just sprouted are the freshest. Some rich old ladies who live in the viewing garden have formed a group to dig wild vegetables in the grove by the river.

Xu Mingyuan took Xiao Yangzhi to talk some nonsense, and found out which wild vegetables tasted better and which were worth digging, and then took her to the other side to dig together.

"Brother, you are so leisurely and elegant."

Yang Zhi squatted beside Xu Mingyuan and dug the soil with a small stick.

Neither of them had a shovel, so Xu Mingyuan had to use a clumsy method to dig the soil. The soil, which had been buried in the snow for a whole winter, was very soft, and it was a bit difficult to dig with just a broken wooden stick.

"Really?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Yang Zhi raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "There are a lot of vegetables at home, and I have to dig them myself."

"Have some fun. Wild vegetables may not be very delicious and they taste bitter. They taste better if you dig them yourself. Just like you, don't you think the food you cook tastes better?"

"Brother, do you mean that my cooking is not delicious?" Yang Zhi asked with his head lowered and his eyes raised.

"You little girl, you always find these things to say." Xu Mingyuan smiled and continued, "It tastes good. I miss it a little after not eating it for a few days."

"Brother, how about we go back and fry some eggs after we finish digging wild vegetables?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Okay, come back for more if it tastes good," said Xu Mingyuan.

Digging wild vegetables was said to be secondary, the main thing was to find something to do, so the two of them didn't dig much, just some shepherd's purse and black lettuce, enough to stir-fry two or three dishes before stopping.

The idea of ​​picking wild vegetables was a spur of the moment idea. No one brought a bag, so everyone had to hold a handful of wild vegetables and prepare to go home.

"Brother, let's wash the vegetables from the river. There is a lot of dirt on the roots, and it will be difficult to clean up after taking them back." Yang Zhi suggested.

"The water in the river is so cold. Come, give me the shepherd's purse in your hand. I'll take it."

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi raising her hands, afraid that her clothes would get dirty, Xu Mingyuan was about to take the wild vegetables from her hands.

"Brother, I'm not that delicate. No matter how cold the river water is, can it be as cold as the tap water in winter? Let's go." Yang Zhi said.

"Haha, okay."

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi had also learned Tao Shuxin's trick of pulling and dragging, Xu Mingyuan smiled and took her to the river.

The river water was very cold in spring. Xiao Yangzhi's fingers turned red from the cold as soon as he washed his hands.

I still remember that little Yang Zhi's hands were a little rough at the beginning. This was because Yang Hongyu was not a good mother and insisted on using frustration education.

Later, Xu Mingyuan took care of the little Yangzhi for a year or two before he grew her into a tender and fair-skinned girl.

"I'll wash them, and you pick the leaves."

Xu Mingyuan couldn't bear to see the little Yangzhi he had carefully raised get frostbitten, so he gave the delicate work to her.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi rinsed her hands and finally washed them clean. She took the wild vegetables handed to her by Xu Mingyuan and picked the leaves bit by bit.

"Did you ever dig wild vegetables when you were a child?" Xu Mingyuan asked casually.

"I can't remember. It seems like there is, but it also seems like there isn't. No one led me to dig, and I don't remember whether I have dug on my own or not."

Yang Zhi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He just remembered that when he lived in the countryside, he had a vague image of villagers digging vegetables in the fields in his mind.

In the 1980s and 1990s, people still had to pay public grain. At that time, less chemical fertilizers were used and the yield was not high. Every spring, we would wait to dig up wild vegetables, dry them and eat them as vegetables.

Yang Zhi remembers this impression very clearly, but she has forgotten what it tasted like.

"Do you still miss your hometown now?"

"I haven't thought about it for a long time. Didn't I go back two years ago? After knowing that grandpa passed away, I don't miss him much anymore." Yang Zhi said softly.

"It's okay if you want to go back. You can give us some money or something. Our family doesn't need that little money." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Brother, you've already said that this is our home, why do we need to go somewhere else?"

Yang Zhi raised her head, her eyes sparkling, without any look of frustration, just full of smiles.

Xu Mingyuan smiled and wanted to raise his hand to rub her little head, but his hands were full of water, so he had to give up the action.

But Yang Zhi knew too well what Xu Mingyuan wanted to do, so she grabbed his hand and rubbed it gently with her head, being so obedient...
