Facing Lu Yiming's teasing, Su Yunwei couldn't help rolling her eyes and said angrily: "It's my parents who want to see their future grandson-in-law. What are you thinking about?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. It turned out that my grandparents wanted to see me. What did I think it was?"

Su Yun slightly snorted, with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "I don't know if they are satisfied with you yet, so please don't scream."

Lu Yiming chuckled: "It's a matter of time and night. Now let's call a few times in advance and treat it as adaptive training."

After hanging up the phone, Li Quanwang couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Good guy, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of junior high school. This is obviously the treatment of a son-in-law. Are you going a little too far? We will graduate from high school in five months!"

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yiming went to Shi's house to visit as scheduled.

Although it was not the first time, the meaning of this meeting was different, so Lu Yiming was inevitably a little uneasy and uneasy.

After all, the two old people who want to meet him can largely determine the future of him and Shi Qingxue.

Therefore, Lu Yiming wanted to show his best side as much as possible in order to gain the recognition of Grandpa Shi Qingxue and Grandma Shi Qingxue, and at least leave a good first impression on the two elderly people.

Standing outside the gate of the Shi family's mansion, Lu Yiming straightened his collar, turned around and asked Zhao Tiezhu: "Hurry up and take a look, I should be pretty decent, right?"

Zhao Tiezhu just glanced at it and gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Lu, you look so handsome today."

Lu Yiming smiled and scolded: "I never thought that Zhao Tiezhu, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes like you, might be able to flatter you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiezhu showed two rows of big white teeth and smiled honestly without saying a word.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yiming rang the doorbell of Shi's house.

Shi Qingxue had already been waiting in the yard for Lu Yiming to arrive. After hearing the doorbell, she couldn't wait to run over. When she looked out through the peephole, she found that it was indeed Lu Yiming, so she quickly opened the door.

"Lu Yiming, happy New Year."

Lu Yiming looked up and found that Shi Qingxue was wearing a pink short skirt today, looking very pure and cute.

Lu Yiming asked: "Aren't you cold if you wear a skirt in this winter?"

Shi Qingxue spat out her sweet tongue, reached out and pulled the velvet stockings on her legs, and said, "I'm wearing warm stockings. Of course I'm not cold, you idiot. By the way, are you cold?"

Lu Yiming immediately pretended to look pitiful, folded his arms and shook: "Of course it's cold to stand in the doorway and blow the wind. Now I urgently need a warm hug to get better."

Shi Qingxue slapped him angrily, but then looked around and saw that no one was looking this way, so she stepped forward and hugged Lu Yiming gently: "Hey, I've already hugged him."

As a result, when she wanted to let go, Lu Yiming held her in his arms, breathing hard through his nose and greedily smelling the fragrance on her hair.

Shi Qingxue was embarrassed and annoyed: "Let go now. Did you just give me a hug?"

Lu Yiming smiled cheekily and said, "Give me a hug. I didn't say how long."

After hugging each other for a while, Lu Yiming reluctantly let go. Just then, Su Yunjin passed by the yard. When she saw the two of them, she immediately said: "Xiao Ming, you're here. Why don't you come inside? It's windy outside. Be careful."

Don't catch a cold."

Shi Qingxue patted her chest and said, "It was so dangerous, I was almost discovered."

Although the two people's identities were semi-public, Shi Qingxue still felt a little embarrassed when hugging each other in front of her parents.

Lu Yiming entered the room, greeted everyone, and received a few red envelopes. Then his eyes fell on Yang Xiuzhen and Su Bao.

Compared with the old men and women in China, the two of them are obviously much more fashionable.

Su Bao came from a well-known family, with a tall and handsome figure. When he was young, he should have been a handsome guy and a girl killer.

Yang Xiuzhen, on the other hand, is equally graceful and elegant, with a pair of straight eyebrows pointing slantingly at the sky, making her look sharp-eyed and showing an extraordinarily strong aura.

In fact, the person in the Su family who can make the decision is not Su Bao, but Yang Xiuzhen.

Over the years, she has been running all the family's businesses, large and small.

While Lu Yiming was quietly observing the two elders, Su Bao and Yang Xiuzhen were also secretly sizing him up.

Their first impression of Lu Yiming was that he was young, but they felt from Lu Yiming that he was calm and confident, which was different from his peers. The two elders nodded secretly.

Although the two of them didn't speak, they already had thoughts in their hearts. They felt that the prospective grandson-in-law in front of them was indeed, as their youngest daughter said, one of the few people in the world.

Yang Xiuzhen said: "Are you Lu Yiming? I have heard your name several times, and today is the first time we have met. You are indeed a talented person."

Lu Yiming said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment."

After saying a few polite words, Yang Xiuzhen then mentioned something: "I originally wanted to arrange for Xiaoxue to study abroad, which is very good for Xiaoxue's future, but I heard from Yunjin that you are opposed to this?"

Lu Yiming said bluntly: "Yes. I think studying abroad is not a good choice."

Regarding the matter of studying abroad, Lu Yiming had expected it and was prepared in advance: "First of all, I am skeptical about the security of the United States. As the saying goes, every day in the free America of gun battles, Xiaoxue passes by, and every moment there is a life-threatening situation.

Danger, I can't accept this at any cost."

"And it's not just a matter of poor security. There's also racial discrimination everywhere, especially the Chinese community, who are born at the bottom of the chain of contempt. Can a place where lives are constantly threatened be a paradise?"

Su Bao frowned and retorted: "We have lived in the United States for most of our lives and have never encountered the situation you mentioned. Have you read some domestic news and magazines and are biased against the United States?"

Lu Yiming couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Su, the place you live in should be a high-end community in the United States, right? The people who live there are either rich or noble. It is normal to greet them with smiles on weekdays. After all, everyone is a decent person. But

Xiaoxue is going to college, and there are everyone in the school. Haven’t you heard about school shootings and other things?"

"Of course, I am more worried about the problem of drug abuse in the United States, especially college campuses, which are the hardest hit areas. Domestic security is getting better and better, and the economy is developing at a rapid pace. To sum up, I think it is not necessary

Send Xiaoxue out. Isn’t the so-called studying abroad just gold plating? Get the status of an international student. But Xiaoxue neither engages in politics nor engages in scientific research, so what’s the use of studying abroad?”

Lu Yiming's words surprised both Su Bao and Yang Xiuzhen. Although they had been abroad for many years, because they had a high starting point and the class they came into contact with were also local wealthy groups, they didn't know much about the lower class people in America, especially the abusers.

I don't even know anything about the drug problem.

After all, for the people of Xia, due to the tragic experience a hundred years ago, drug prohibition has become an instinct engraved deep in their genes and a well-known social common sense.

But the people in the United States don't see it that way. They think it's their own business to get high or not, and that everyone has the right to get pleasure from chemicals.

This has resulted in the United States being the country with the worst opioid abuse in the world, especially among young people.

Although Lu Yiming believed in Shi Qingxue's self-control, why take such a risk?

Lu Yiming's words really made Su Bao feel unbelievable.

The United States is a mighty superpower, how could something like this happen?

However, Su Yunwei, who had studied abroad in the United States, intervened and said something fair at this time: "The phenomenon mentioned by Lu Yiming does exist in the United States, including many such people around me."

Yang Xiuzhen was startled, and immediately asked with concern: "Yunwei, you didn't take drugs with those people, did you?"

Su Yun rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Mom, how could I do that kind of thing? But it is precisely because of this that I was often ostracized by other students when I was studying."

When Yang Xiuzhen heard this, her face suddenly dropped, and she said seriously: "Why don't you tell your family about this kind of thing?"

Su Yun sighed slightly, with a bleak expression: "So what can I do? Even the school can't take care of this kind of thing. Instead, it will only intensify the conflict. Will I still be able to go to school well?"

With a living teaching material like Su Yunwei in front of them, Yang Xiuzhen and Su Bao finally gave up the idea of ​​letting Shi Qingxue go abroad.

If the United States is really what Lu Yiming and Su Yunwei said, then it would be better to just let Shi Qingxue stay in the country. Anyway, with their family's current situation, as long as they don't encounter major changes, they will have no problem eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.

, there is no need to go out and take risks.

This question came to an end, but then, Yang Xiuzhen continued: "I heard from Yunwei that you are very visionary in business investment? Our Su family now has a fund and is looking for a long-term and stable project investment. Do you have anything?

Good advice?”

After Lu Yiming heard this, his expression suddenly became stern.

This is to test his ability.

If they can't answer, or there are obvious mistakes, their previous results will most likely be denied, and it won't be fun if they say that Lu Yiming is just trying to gain fame.

However, unlike what Lu Yiming thought, Yang Xiuzhen actually just heard that he was very capable in making money, so she really wanted to listen to his advice as a business genius.

Despite the fact that the Su family has made a lot of money overseas in recent years, with the changes of the times, the original high-quality assets are now increasingly unable to keep up with the trend.

Therefore, in recent years, Yang Xiuzhen has also been pursuing the industrial transformation of the Su family.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yiming asked: "Are you planning to invest domestically or abroad?"

Su Bao asked: "What's the difference?"

Lu Yiming said: "When investing in China, the most stable thing is to buy real estate, especially houses in the school districts of Jingcheng, Zhonghai, Baiyun and Pengcheng. The potential for appreciation is huge, and you can earn money if you buy it."

Yang Xiuzhen was confused and asked with a confused expression: "What is a school district room?"

Although the United States is also divided into school districts and has a similar concept of school district housing, the situation is very different from that in China. After all, public schools in Europe and the United States are basically pretty bad, and wealthy people generally choose schools with expensive tuition but better quality education.

Good private school.

Lu Yiming could only patiently explain to his elders the domestic school district housing system.

Although the concept of "school district housing" probably only began to rise rapidly when the "Compulsory Education Law" revised in 2006 further emphasized the principle of "nearby enrollment".

But in fact, as early as 1986, the country had already begun to implement the "Compulsory Education Law", which directly stipulates in Article 9: "Local areas should reasonably set up primary schools and junior secondary schools so that children and teenagers can attend school nearby."

This policy was originally intended to facilitate good governance for residents, because at that time many large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises also had factory-run schools. Most people were also accustomed to welfare housing allocation by their work units. Wherever the house provided by the work unit was, their children would be nearby.

Going to school.

But gradually, due to various objective factors, differences between "ordinary schools" and "key schools" eventually resulted, and educational resources gradually began to be artificially and unbalancedly divided.

In this way, "enrolment nearby" makes the house a "stepping stone" for key schools, and the value of the house will naturally double.

Lu Yiming's judgment was based on this. As a reborn person, he knew the future situation most clearly, so he said with great certainty: "With the development of Xiaguo's economy, the price of such scarce resources as school district housing will increase in the future."

It will only get higher and higher, so it is very suitable for investment and holding."
