Wang Ying returned to school, and with Zhou Chen's comfort, she started going to school as normal again, as if nothing had changed.
However, Zhou Chen specifically asked Xiao Qianxi to pay more attention to Wang Ying recently and help him keep an eye on her. If there is anything wrong with Wang Ying, notify him as soon as possible.
And he himself would come to Wang Ying's place at most every two days. Wang Ying knew what Zhou Chen meant. She had said it several times, but Zhou Chen didn't listen, so she stopped talking.
Although Wang Ying was still the same as before when she was with him, Zhou Chen knew that it was still different, because Wang Ying was much quieter than before, as if there was a pressure in her heart that had not been vented, and she looked a little melancholy.
point.
Zhou Chen tried to persuade her several times, but the results were not very good. He had no good solution. He could only stay with Wang Ying, hoping that time would heal the anger in Wang Ying's heart.
On this day, Zhou Chen received a call from China. After hearing the content, he hung up the call with a heavy face.
He then drove to Stanford University and picked up Wang Ying at the school.
"Why are you here so early today? Isn't the company busy?"
"There is nothing to be busy about. Everything is on track. There are no big moves now. Just develop step by step."
Finding that Zhou Chen drove directly back to his residence, Wang Ying asked in confusion: "Why did you come back directly and didn't eat?"
She thought a lot these days, but Zhou Chen looked too closely, so even though she had a lot of things on her mind, she didn't do anything and obeyed Zhou Chen's decision.
Zhou Chen parked the car downstairs and said with a heavy expression: "Yingying, Uncle Wang has passed away."
"What?" Wang Ying suddenly turned her head, eyes widened, and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.
Zhou Chen said: "Auntie was afraid that you were in class, so she called me. Your father had a cerebral hemorrhage when he got up in the morning. Rescue was organized on the spot, but..."
Wang Ying felt her body go limp, her hands and feet were cold, and her breathing became a little heavier. She didn't even hear Zhou Chen's next words clearly.
Until she heard Zhou Chen say that he would be cremated tomorrow, she couldn't control it anymore. She grabbed Zhou Chen's hand very hard, which showed how bad her mood was now.
…………
"Woo..."
Wang Ying leaned on her seat and cried bitterly. Zhou Chen came close to her, caressed her gently, and leaned her head against his. Wang Ying grabbed Zhou Chen harder and cried bitterly, unable to control herself.
That night, Wang Ying didn't sleep well. After suddenly waking up, she sat silently in front of the window in a daze. Zhou Chen didn't say anything, so he stayed with her and let her lean against him.
"Yingying, I know you feel uncomfortable, but Uncle Wang definitely doesn't want you to be like this. You have to be strong. Although Uncle Wang is gone, Auntie is still there. For Auntie and for me, you have to be strong."
"As I said, from now on, I will be your confidence. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side, forever, forever."
Wang Ying put her hands around Zhou Chen's waist and leaned on Zhou Chen's chest. She felt extremely sad, but fortunately, she had Zhou Chen by her side, so she could release herself to her heart's content.
Zhou Chen gently caressed Wang Ying and comforted her in a low voice: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, you will be fine after a good sleep."
Maybe it was because her mood fluctuated too much and she had been depressed for a long time. The next day, Wang Ying fell ill. She had a fever of more than 39 degrees and her speech was a little slurred.
Zhou Chen did nothing and devoted himself to taking care of Wang Ying. After a few days, Wang Ying recovered, but her energy and energy were much worse than before the Wang family's accident.
Zhou Chen knew that this kind of pain would take time to heal, and he also believed that with Wang Ying's strength and intelligence, she would be able to get over it soon.
More than a month later, Wang Ying finally came out of her sadness. After experiencing this family accident, she grew up a lot. Zhou Chen didn't like her passive growth. He mainly felt sorry for her, but
He also knew that this was something Wang Ying had to experience.
Wang Ying came out, and Zhou Chen could rest assured and busy with work. In the second half of 2007, he still has a lot to do, especially the global financial crisis next year, which is a crisis for others, but
For him, it can be said to be an opportunity.
Many of the companies invested by Chenxing Capital have been listed on the market, and their stock prices are very good. Among them, Penguin Company, which went public in 2004, has seen its stock price increase by more than ten or twenty times.
In addition to the investment in Chenxing Company, Zhou Chen also made private investments and bought a lot of stocks of listed companies that may skyrocket in the future. Not only himself, he also used Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li's accounts to buy some stocks that had good growth rates.
, Wang Ying also opened an account with him and bought a lot of stocks.
Zhou Chen has always made a clear distinction between company accounts and his personal accounts. Chenxing Capital and Chenxing Pharmaceuticals are his companies, but they are not all his property. He also has a lot of private property and investments. Eggs cannot be put in one basket.
He still understands the truth very well.
In the Stanford University cafeteria, Xiao Qianxi looked at Wang Ying in disbelief.
"Wang Ying, are you kidding? Go work with me. Are you crazy?"
It was noon now. Wang Ying and Xiao Qianxi were eating together in the cafeteria. Wang Ying suddenly said that she and Xiao Qianxi would go to the restaurant to work together, which scared Xiao Qianxi.
Facing Xiao Qianxi who lost her composure, Wang Ying said calmly: "I'm not crazy, and I'm not joking. You already know the situation in our family. I'm different from before, so now I have to make money to support myself."
Both myself and my mother will have to rely on me in the future."
Xiao Qianxi said anxiously: "You still have Zhou Chen. With Zhou Chen here, you can't even..."
"But we're not married yet, are we?"
"this?"
The words were correct, but Xiao Qianxi still couldn't accept it: "Zhou Chen will never agree."
"That's why I should be more self-reliant. I know he is very good to me, but just like this, I feel more pressure. Now I feel more and more that I am not worthy of him. He is too good. I can't rely on him for everything. Qian
Hi, you should know what I mean best, right?"
Xiao Qianxi didn't know how to answer. Of course she understood what Wang Ying meant. Women are not vassals and cannot rely on men for everything.
But the problem is that Wang Ying is different from her. She really can't accept Wang Ying working part-time, and if Zhou Chen finds out, she can imagine how angry Zhou Chen will be.
"Wang Ying, I think it's better to forget it. Your family has encountered changes, but it's not to the point where you can't live anymore. You should study hard now..."
Wang Ying looked at Xiao Qianxi very seriously: "Qianxi, you know me. If I decide, I will definitely do it. If you are not willing to help me, then I will have to find a place to work by myself.
"
"No, Wang Ying, please don't be impulsive."
Xiao Qianxi was helpless. Of course she didn't want Wang Ying to go to work, but if Wang Ying really had to go, she really couldn't stop her. With her, she could still take care of her, but if she went to another place alone,
, she was worried that Wang Ying would suffer.
She thought a lot and decided to stabilize Wang Ying first and then notify Zhou Chen...
"Qianxi, you must not tell Zhou Chen about this. If you do, I will be angry."
Faced with Wang Ying's warning, Xiao Qianxi smiled bitterly. As soon as she thought of this, Wang Ying's warning came.
She could only laugh awkwardly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell Zhou Chen."
"You also have to tell He Xiaozhou, he can't tell Zhou Chen either."
"Uh, okay, okay."
Xiao Qianxi looked hesitant: "But Wang Ying, do you really want to do this? Zhou Chen often comes to see you. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for too long. Sooner or later he will find out."
Wang Ying said: "Then let's wait until he finds out by himself. I will find a way to convince him."
Although she said this, she was confused in her heart, because she also knew who Zhou Chen was. If Zhou Chen knew that she did this, he would definitely be very angry.
But she really doesn't want to rely on Zhou Chen for everything in the future. She doesn't want them to become so unequal. She also thinks her thoughts are ridiculous and childish.
But changes in her family have made her sensitive and unconfident. She is afraid that she is too dependent on Zhou Chen. If one day there is a problem between them, what should she do?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should make changes. Now, she had lost her previous calmness and calmness. She just felt that what she should do most now was to be independent, and the prerequisite for being independent was to be able to make money to support herself.
What else could Xiao Qianxi say, she could only nod in agreement.
"All right."
Xiao Qianxi works as a waiter in a relatively large Western restaurant near the school.
"It's not that easy to work in a restaurant. You have to be a waiter or wash dishes and clean. Wang Ying, I think it's better to forget it."
She really couldn't imagine Wang Ying working as a waiter, serving tea and water to people. Just thinking about it made her feel very uncomfortable and painful. This was not what she thought Wang Ying should do.
Wang Ying thought for a moment and said, "I may not be a good waiter, but I can still wash dishes and clean. I've done all these things."
She has indeed done these things. When she lived with Zhou Chen, she would not do nothing.
Xiao Qianxi saw Wang Ying's firm attitude, so he could only agree. In fact, in foreign countries, hourly and temporary workers like this are still very common, especially around universities. College students work part-time. Although they cannot work full time, they are better than
It's cheap.
The labor costs abroad are very different from those in China. The summary can be summed up in one sentence: work less and get more.
Wang Ying is the kind of person who does what she says. After class in the afternoon, she followed Xiao Qianxi to the restaurant where she worked.
It's a coincidence that the restaurant was short of people in the back office before. Now there is a cheap part-time student. The person in charge of the restaurant agreed without any hesitation and asked Wang Ying to work for a few days to check it out. He also stayed on the same day to work. The main thing is to be responsible.
