As soon as Hu Chen returned to the capital and settled Yang Wensong, he came to see the old man.

Of the local specialties brought back from Dong Li's house, Jiang Lan took half of them to the Jiang family, and the rest were all brought to the old man's place.

Peanuts, sweet potatoes, cornmeal, millet, razor clams, sea sausage, salted mackerel, a lot.

Hu Chen knew that the old man liked these things. If he really gave him something expensive, he would still be angry.

Last time, a man came to visit the old man. He had some century-old ginseng and cordyceps. He asked the old man to throw them all out and told him not to enter his door if he brought these things over again.

The Hu family rented dozens of acres of land on the outskirts of Beijing to grow some grain, vegetables, and raise some chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep for their family to eat.

But there were not many types of crops, and the old man was generous. Once he harvested the crops, he distributed them all to the neighbors, which was enough to eat.

Hu Chen brought back so much, the old man was quite happy.

He immediately ordered the nanny to do it quickly and called those in Beijing over for dinner in the evening.

Hu Chen also went over to tell the nanny how to cook the salted mackerel.

After coming over, I sat down with the old man and told him everything about Yuncheng.

I didn’t add any extravagance or hide any details.

As he told the story, the old man's face gradually became serious.

Hu Chen also became a little nervous, and he became more and more afraid to hide it.

After the old man asked this question, Hu Chen quickly replied: "Yes, I bet on whether he can earn 10 billion within a year. If he can earn it, I promise that he can be with Yueyue. If he can't earn it, then there will be

Roll as far as you can..."

"Nonsense!"

Before Hu Chen finished speaking, the old man gave a sharp shout, picked up the crutch next to him and slapped Hu Chen.

Hu Chen couldn't dodge and was slapped on the thigh, causing pain.

While rubbing his thighs, Hu Chen said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, why did you hit me?"

He hid far away and didn't dare to get close, for fear of being whipped by the cane again.

"Why do you think I hit you!" The old man was still angry, staring at Hu Chen and shouted.

"I...I'm not doing this for Yue Yue. You said Li Dong is a poor boy from the countryside. If he doesn't make some money, how can he be worthy of our Yue Yue?" Hu Chen argued.

"So you made a bet with someone? You also bet with someone that you can earn 10 billion a year? Do you know what it means to do to others what you don't want others to do to you? If you make someone else earn 10 billion in a year, then you can do it yourself

Can't you make 10 billion in a year?" the old man scolded.

Hu Chen scratched his head and said calmly: "I definitely don't have the ability, but that kid Li Dong made the bet by himself, and I didn't force him?"

"You still dare to quibble!" The old man pretended to fight, but Hu Chen jumped back a step.

"Come here! Sit down!" the old man shouted.

Hu Chen did not dare to step forward and said, "Then put down the crutches first."

The old man glared at him and put down his crutch.

Hu Chen then cautiously came over and sat down, but his butt was only half-touched by the stool, and his legs were tense all the time, ready to escape at any time.

The old man's face softened a little and he said, "Tell me what you think of Li Dong."

Hu Chen thought about it and said: "Well... first of all, it's long. It's far from me. It's barely above average..."

"Tell me the important point!" The old man became angry again.

Hu Chen shrank his neck, smiled coquettishly, and continued: "The point is... this person is not bad, and he is quite to my liking anyway."

The old man nodded slowly.

Although Hu Chen is a bit unruly, he comes from a big family and has been working in society for so many years. At least he still has a good eye for seeing people.

Moreover, the old man also knew that Hu Chen had very high standards, and he would not look at ordinary people at all.

If you can get him to say it's okay, then it means it's really okay.

"Tell me more details," the old man said again.

Hu Chen continued: "First of all, we have to talk about his appearance. Although Li Dong is not very handsome, he is a very good-looking person. There is a little unruly on his face, but he is not unruly, and his eyebrows are straight and his eyes are level.

He has a straight nose and a broad mouth, which means he is righteous and evil, and evil is righteous. In short, the first glance at him will leave a deep impression on people."

Hu Chen said, took out his mobile phone, opened a photo of Li Dong in the mobile phone, and handed it to the old man.

After the old man took it, he looked at it carefully.

The old man has gone through ups and downs for decades, and has met many people.

Naturally, we know that a person's face can reflect that person's personality to a great extent.

Some people are cunning and cunning just by looking at their faces, some are loyal and honest just by looking at them, some are unruly and rebellious, and some are timid and cowardly, all of these can be seen through their faces.

As for Li Dong's face, as Hu Chen said, there is evil in the righteousness and righteousness in the evil. Just one glance can leave a deep impression on people.

The old man nodded slowly without making any comments. He handed the phone to Hu Chen and said, "Go on."

"Li Dong seems to have some talent in stock trading. He is currently doing business in both the US stock market and the domestic market. We don't know exactly how much money he earns in the domestic market, and we can't ask him. But Hu Yue said that the people around Li Dong

Several relatives and friends started trading stocks with him, and the amount increased more than ten times in a few months, which was still a large sum of millions. As for the US stock market, when Aunt Lan and I went to his company to meet him, someone from the Bank of China happened to go over to investigate.

His money laundering matter..."

"Money laundering?" The old man was slightly surprised and interrupted Hu Chen.

"It was falsely accused. People from the Bank of China also said that nothing happened. However, people from the Bank of China revealed the news that Li Dong earned more than 80 million in the U.S. stock market in five months. I

On the way back, I specifically asked someone to inquire about their intraday trading of US stocks. The company provides them with funding authority, and they trade by themselves and earn commissions. There are currently nearly 100,000 US stock traders in China, and their general income is

It's not high, just a few thousand yuan a month, or tens of thousands of yuan. A top trader can earn tens or millions a month, which is already rare, while Li Dong earns up to 10,000 yuan a month.

Wan Wan is the top master-level trader in the domestic U.S. stock industry. From this, we can see Li Dong’s level. Moreover, when he made the bet, Li Dong seemed very confident and not blind.

He is really confident. He is confident that he will earn 10 billion within a year. In fact, at the beginning, I didn’t even think about making this bet with him. It was because this guy was a bit too crazy.

I told him at the beginning that if a person like him with an average background and education wants to marry Yueyue, he must at least be rich, right? If you don’t even have money, what are you talking about about feelings, goals, ideals, and ambitions?

, that’s all nonsense. Li Dong agreed at the time and asked how much money he earned to be worthy of our Yueyue. I stretched out a finger and thought that one billion would be enough. But guess what?

? This kid directly said to me: One hundred billion? What can I say? Is it appropriate to say one billion? Doesn’t that make that kid look down on our family? So I said ten billion.

Then this kid said to me: Your family's requirements are not high. Grandpa, do you think he is crazy? I also made him angry, so I made this bet with him."

Hu Chen said a lot in one breath.

The old man smiled slightly and nodded: "So, this Li Dong is still a stock trading genius?"

Hu Chen said: "That's about right. Anyway, it's quite powerful."

The old man asked again: "What about other aspects?"

Hu Chen said: "He is a very responsible person. I estimate that he must have hundreds of millions of funds in his hands now. He can be considered a rich man. He just bought two cars, an A6, and he

He drives a BMW for Yue Yue. With his wealth, buying a car like this is just okay. If it had been anyone else, he would have probably bought a sports car or something. Apart from the fact that the car is just okay,

, the rest can only be described as shabby. The clothes he is wearing cost less than a thousand yuan in total, and Yueyue dragged him to buy them. Speaking of which, grandpa, let me tell you a joke, Yueyue

Li Dong and Li Dong were introduced to each other by classmates. When they first dated, Li Dong was wearing slippers and underpants, the kind he bought at a night market stall, and then he went to look for Yue under the building of Yueyue's dormitory.

Yue, Yue Yue told us that when she saw Li Dong like that, she almost wanted to turn around and go back to the dormitory. Later, Yue Yue took him to the mall to buy clothes, and first went to a higher-end store, which cost hundreds of dollars.

The ones that cost 100 yuan a piece, but Li Dong found them too expensive and was reluctant to buy them, so he went to a cheaper one nearby, which cost about 100 yuan a piece, so he bought two."

After hearing this, the old man chuckled.

Hu Chen continued: "And the place where he works now. You said that he is also engaged in finance after all, and he has a net worth of over 100 million. Not to mention how luxurious the office place is, at least he has to find a decent one, right? Guess

What happened to him? He rented a small front room in an old neighborhood, or shared it with others. He only had such a small room, only about ten square meters, and set up a table and a table.

The bed didn't even have a place to stand. He was in that small room, doing US stocks at night and doing domestic business during the day. He went around day and night. When he was tired, he would take a nap on the bed. He didn't bother with anything at all. He just worked hard to make money.

Anyway, I admire him very much. But his cabin is quite clean. It can be seen that he is a bit frugal, but he also loves to be clean and very self-disciplined."

The old man nodded again and had a similar impression of Li Dong.

Hu Chen added: "He is quite a self-respecting person. After I made the bet with him, Aunt Lan proposed that he do private equity, and then Aunt Lan could help him raise some funds.

With the capital, it would be relatively easy to make money. As a result, this guy refused without thinking, saying that he could earn 10 billion by himself. Look at Aunt Lan's previous partner, who pestered Aunt Lan all day long to give up.

She introduces clients. Just for this reason, Li Dong gives me a good feeling."

The old man said: "So, Jiang Lan also approves of him?"

Hu Chen said: "Yes, but Aunt Lan also seemed a little worried. She was probably afraid that our family would object to Yueyue and Li Dong being together and make Yueyue sad, so Aunt Lan wanted to help him."

The old man nodded and asked again: "You went to his hometown this time and met his family. How do you feel about his family?"

Hu Chen said: "His parents, uncles, and aunts are all very good people, especially his father and uncle. They are the kind of honest people at first glance. Although his mother seems to be a very talkative person, she is also a sharp-tongued person.

That kind, and besides, his mother was very kind to Yue Yue. She treated Yue Yue as her daughter before they even got married. Li Dong said something wrong a little bit and made Yue Yue unhappy. His mother picked up the broom and

beat him."

The old man felt relieved and said: "So, Li Dong is indeed pretty good."

Hu Chen agreed: "That's pretty good. Anyway, I personally agree with him and Yueyue."

The old man looked at him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What's the relationship between him and the girl?"

Hu Chen immediately understood what grandpa meant and replied: "We are just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. Don't worry, grandpa. Even if that kid Li Dong has bad intentions, Yueyue will be measured and will not do anything outrageous."

.”

The old man sighed softly: "If I guess correctly, tonight, the two of them will probably...sigh."

Hu Chen said disapprovingly: "Grandpa, where are you going? Don't you know who Yueyue is? She won't let that kid Li Dong mess around without the consent of you and my second uncle."

The old man shook his head: "You still don't understand your sister. If it hadn't been for your bet, the girl might not have crossed the line with Li Dong. However, just because of your bet, the girl would definitely have...

...Dedicated privately for life, and tonight. Xiaochen, if Li Dong is really as you said, a good person, and devoted to the girl, then that would be fine. If not, then you, the elder brother,

I personally pushed your sister into the pit of fire."

Hu Chen was startled and became even more puzzled: "No, grandpa, you... can you please stop joking? Yueyue... how is that possible? She is not that kind of person!"

The old man sighed, shook his head, closed his eyes, and said nothing more.

Hu Chen, who was unsure, thought for a moment and took out his cell phone to call Hu Yue.

Phone off.

I called Li Dong again but didn't answer.

Li Dong was taking a shower at that time, and it was Hu Yue who hung up Hu Chen's phone...

…………

In the evening, Hu Chen's parents, Hu Yue's parents, and Hu Yue's sister-in-law and uncle all came to the old man's place for dinner.

Naturally, the whole family knew that Hu Yue had found a boyfriend.

Before anyone else could express their opinions, the old man directly expressed his opinion, saying that Li Dong was a pretty good young man and he wanted them to spend some time together to see.
