Chapter 1491: Invisible disguise is the most deadly
Chapter 1493 Invisible disguise is the most deadly
The Huang family belongs to a scholarly family. Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang are both Ph.D.s, and both teach at Tsinghua University, at the professor level.
Huang Zhenhua is the eldest son of the Huang family. Although his academic qualifications are not as good as those of his parents, he still has a master's degree from a prestigious university. Huang Yimei also just graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. If she wants to continue studying for a PhD, it is actually not a big problem.
They belong to a high-achieving family, have good jobs, and are well paid, but they are not very rich.
But even though a family like theirs doesn't value material money too much, they were still shocked when Huang Yimei said that Zhou Chen owns a large company with assets of over 100 million.
Huang Zhenhua looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously and asked: "I don't know much about finance, but I have heard many friends say that financial assets are very exaggerated, and the returns are far less stable than industrial assets. Most of them are valuations.
It's not like this?"
Zhou Chen knows why Huang Zhenhua is hostile to him. It can be seen from the plot that this guy is a girl control. His favorite sister suddenly has a boyfriend, which he has never seen before. He must be very unhappy, plus his sister.
When her boyfriend said something so nice, she would instinctively reject him and want to hit Zhou Chen in order to build up his image as a brother.
Although he's not angry, he doesn't know how to be hot-faced and cold-hearted. He has no use for this, he's too shabby.
He ignored Huang Zhenhua and explained to Huang's father and mother: "The assets of financial companies are not as visible and tangible as industrial assets, but the returns are not necessarily certain. There are stable returns and high risks and high returns."
The benefits cannot be generalized.”
Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang are both doctoral students. Although they have never studied finance, their ability to understand and accept is much better than the average person.
"I know there are many types of financial companies. What does your company do specifically?"
"Our company mainly engages in investments, including various types of investments, such as stocks, bonds, funds, etc., as well as industrial investments."
"Invest."
In fact, none of the four members of the Huang family understood it very well. None of them had been exposed to the financial industry. They understood everything Zhou Chen said, but they didn't understand more of the meaning.
Zhou Chen explained patiently: "To put it simply, it is to obtain returns through investment. For example, we invest in a company that lacks funds and take part of the shares. When the company develops, whether it is selling the shares or paying dividends,
We all gain."
"For another example, my uncles and aunts are all university professors. They should all know that many research experiments in universities require investment from external funds. Our company has also made this kind of investment. We invested money in the laboratory to do research, and we have achieved results.
Afterwards, share the proceeds, that’s pretty much what it means.”
"Oh, I understand, I understand."
Huang Jianzhi patted his leg in sudden realization. He might not understand much about the stocks, bonds and other investments in society, but he understood the things in the school when Zhou Chen said this.
"Investing in laboratory research is a good thing. Many universities now have a lot of research. What they lack most is funds and talents. Although everyone is working hard for a great cause, they still have to live. Without funds, experiments
If we can’t continue, investing in research is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.”
Zhou Chen praised: "Yes, uncle is right. In fact, in 1999, our company cooperated with the laboratory of Capital University of Chinese Medical Sciences and jointly developed a specific drug to treat pneumonia in children. The uncle and aunt's family
If you don’t have children, you may not know about this medicine. This medicine has been selling very well in China in the past two years and has even been sold abroad.”
"Oh, there's also this matter, Xiao Zhou, well done, it's amazing."
Huang Jianzhi praised sincerely. Although it was just a few simple words, since Zhou Chen said this kind of thing, it couldn't be bragging. This made him feel better about Zhou Chen.
Although Wu Yuejiang said nothing, he was still smiling.
She has been observing Zhou Chen since he entered the house. Whether it is his appearance, manners, or conversation and temperament, she is very pleased with him.
After teaching for decades, she still has a keen eye and can see that Zhou Chen also has a literati temperament, which is very harmonious with a family like theirs.
"Xiao Zhou, which school did you graduate from?"
"Auntie, I graduated from the University of Finance and Economics."
Wu Yuejiang looked surprised: "You graduated from the University of Finance and Economics in 1997. How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-six, twenty-seven years old."
"Twenty-six."
Wu Yuejiang calculated in his mind that at twenty-six, he was only four years older than his daughter, which was completely negligible. Moreover, Zhou Chen was mature, stable, and well-spoken. He was much better than the boys of the same age as his daughter.
"Xiao Zhou, I just heard you say that you are so smart after graduating from undergraduate degree. Why didn't you continue your studies after graduating from undergraduate degree?"
Zhou Chen said rather 'embarrassedly': "I didn't continue studying for graduate school because of my conditions. Auntie, to tell you the truth, my parents were gone when I was very young. It was my grandparents who raised me, and they also passed away later.
My fellow villagers paid for my travel expenses and tuition fees when I went to college. I worked part-time for four years of college to earn tuition and living expenses. Later, after I graduated from my undergraduate degree, I wanted to work as soon as possible to make money, not only to pay back the money from my fellow villagers, but also to
I want to have a better life.”
Huang's father and Huang's mother, who had always had a good impression of Zhou Chen, were surprised when they heard that Zhou Chen was an orphan and that even his college education was paid for by his fellow villagers.
Even Huang Yimei and Huang Zhenhua were the same. Although their families were not wealthy, they had never lacked anything since they were young, so they couldn't understand what Zhou Chen was going through.
What's even more incomprehensible is that with Zhou Chen's conditions, he could start a business and start a company after graduation, and reach the level of a billionaire in just a few years. It is really shocking.
Huang Yimei unconsciously squeezed Zhou Chen's hand, feeling very distressed. She only saw the bright and bright side of Zhou Chen, but she didn't expect that he was so miserable before.
Wu Yuejiang looked even more guilty: "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhou, I didn't know you were in this situation and brought up your sadness."
Zhou Chen showed a warm smile: "It's okay, Auntie, it's a thing of the past. Besides, these things in the past are also the driving force for me to move forward. I am able to achieve what I am now because of my past experiences."
"well said."
Huang Jianzhi praised loudly: "Well done. People cannot be defeated by pain. Sometimes pain is also a kind of growth in our lives."
Huang Zhenhua, who was sitting aside, smacked his lips, feeling unhappy in his heart. He was full of hostility towards Zhou Chen, the person who 'robbed' his sister.
Even though he had just learned that Zhou Chen might be a billionaire, he still had a bad face, but when he heard how miserable Zhou Chen was before, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"That's what uncle said." Zhou Chen agreed with his face, which made Huang Jianzhi feel more relaxed. The more he looked at Zhou Chen, the more he liked him.
Next, the two sides chatted in a very friendly manner for a while, until it was almost twelve o'clock, Wu Yuejiang interrupted Huang Jianzhi who was enjoying his chat with Zhou Chen.
"Old Huang, that's it for today. It's almost twelve o'clock and the child has to rest."
Only then did Huang Jianzhi react. He looked at the time and laughed and said, "It's true, Xiao Zhou, I'm so sorry. It's already so late and has delayed your rest."
"It's okay, uncle, it's my fault, I should have come to the door earlier."
"This has nothing to do with you. It's because this kid, Rose, is ignorant. Come back on the weekend, and I'll ask your aunt to make delicious food for you. Your aunt's craftsmanship is particularly good."
Huang Yimei nodded repeatedly at the side: "Yes, my mother's cooking is delicious, braised pork, braised prawns... my mouth is watering just talking about it."
Wu Yuejiang rolled his eyes at his daughter angrily, completely losing his previous attitude of scolding and scolding Huang Yimei. He looked at Zhou Chen with a smile on his face.
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "Okay, if I'm free on the weekend, I'll definitely come to my house. I'm afraid I'll disturb my uncle and aunt."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me, it's too late for us to be happy."
Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang both sent Zhou Chen to the door with smiles on their faces, and then watched Huang Yimei send Zhou Chen away before returning to the house and sitting down on the sofa.
"This kid is really good, what do you think?" Huang Jianzhi first expressed his opinion and then asked his wife.
Wu Yuejiang couldn't help but nodded: "Xiao Zhou is really nothing to say, he is very good. If he hadn't said that he was admitted from a rural area, based on his conversational temperament, I would have thought he was from a certain family.
Where is the rich young man?"
"Indeed, don't tell me, he and Rose stand together like a golden boy." Huang Jianzhi admired sincerely.
Wu Yuejiang said: "Actually, to be honest, I think Rose is a bit unworthy of Xiao Zhou. This child is too outstanding. Rose has been spoiled by us."
Huang Jianzhi muttered: "I don't think it's a big deal. You heard what he just said. He is mature and steady. If he didn't really like Rose, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic just now. Anyway, I don't object to Rose being with someone else."
The conversation between the two of them aroused Huang Zhenhua's dissatisfaction.
"Dad, Mom, how can Zhou Chen be as good as you say? I don't think highly of him and Rose. If what Rose says is true and he is really a billionaire, I will be even more worried."
Huang Zhenhua approached the old couple and said with some unfounded worry: "I heard that those rich people are very carefree, and that boy looks pretty, but who knows if he is sincere about Rose, anyway, I don't think so
It’s too reliable. This kind of rich person has been exposed to various drinking and dining parties all year round. He talks to people and tells deceitful things. He is the best at speaking well and being obedient. I am worried that Rose will suffer a loss."
Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang looked at each other. Although what their son said was a bit unfounded, it was not completely unreasonable.
"I have been chatting with him for such a long time, and I feel that he is quite stable and reliable. He should not be unreliable."
After thinking about it, Huang Jianzhi still believed in his own judgment. People can pretend, but the way he looked at Zhou Chen didn't look like what his son said.
Wu Yuejiang hesitated slightly: "I also think Xiao Zhou is quite reliable. A child from the countryside can work hard to such an extent. I don't know how much effort he has put in. He must be a determined person. If he hadn't really followed Rose
How come you are dating so late at night?"
Huang Zhenhua was asking for trouble and muttered: "Dad, Mom, you just have fixed ideas. What age are we in now? You must be on guard against others."
Wu Yuejiang scolded him angrily: "You must be on guard against others. You are talking as if Xiao Zhou is a bad person. Your idea is very wrong. He is your sister's boyfriend. You can't be so rude."
Huang Zhenhua, who was asking for trouble, was depressed. Suddenly, he saw what Zhou Chen brought on the table.
"Let me see what good things the billionaire gave me."
As he said that, he first took out the contents of a handbag.
"Oh, it's quite heavy. Hey, paper and inkstone, are these the four treasures of the study?"
"It really is."
Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang were both attracted. Huang Jianzhi picked up the inkstone, which was indeed quite heavy, and observed it carefully for a while.
"It's not new. This seems to be an old item, an antique?"
"Really, dad, is this thing really an antique? Is it valuable?"
Huang Zhenhua looked at the inkstone carefully. Unfortunately, with his lack of identification knowledge, he could only tell that it was an inkstone, and could not tell more about it. He focused his attention on another handbag.
"Let me take a look at what's in this bag. It's so exquisitely packaged. What good stuff? A silk scarf?"
Huang Zhenhua was shocked when he saw that when the package was opened, it was just a silk scarf.
Wu Yuejiang's eyes lit up when she saw the scarf, and she took it from Huang Zhenhua's hand. Although she didn't have many luxury goods, after getting it, she could still tell that the material of the scarf was unusual and extraordinary.
"This scarf doesn't look cheap. It's the first time that Xiao Zhou comes to the door. It's not good to let her spend so much money. I'll give the rose back to Xiao Zhou later."
Huang Jianzhi looked at the Four Treasures of the Study in front of him and liked them very much, but he still agreed with his wife's words.
"Yes, these things are very valuable at first sight and cannot be collected."
"As for the matter between Mei Mei and Xiao Zhou, let's just leave it alone and let them get along with each other on their own. Zhenhua, don't get involved."
Huang Zhenyu muttered: "I don't want to get involved, I just don't worry about Rose. She is so simple and that guy is so smart. I'm afraid she will be deceived."
Huang Jianzhi: "Your sister is not stupid. There are so many boys surrounding her, but she has not been fooled. She is very clear-headed."
Wu Yuejiang didn't say anything. She was a woman and knew women better. If Rose was really deeply in love, she wouldn't be able to clear her head. But she had a good impression of Zhou Chen and didn't think Zhou Chen would be like her son said.
After Zhou Chen and Huang Yimei walked out of Huang's house, Huang Yimei took the initiative to thank them.
"Thank you for today, Zhou Chen."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's right. It's your boyfriend's responsibility. But your parents said they invited me to your house on the weekend. Should I come?"
Huang Yimei said with a smile: "You can come if you want. Let me tell you, my mother's cooking is really delicious."
"Then I'll take it seriously and wait for you to call me."
"OK."
Huang Yimei was very relaxed and completely forgot about the unpleasant things that happened tonight.
It was getting very late, so Huang Yimei didn't talk to Zhou Chen any more. Before leaving, she thanked her again.
Zhou Chen waved to her: "Remember to call me."
In the night, Huang Yimei looked at the Bentley that Zhou Chen was riding in and slowly left. She didn't turn back until the lights were no longer visible.
When she got home, she found that her parents and brother were still sitting on the sofa, with three pairs of eyes staring at her without blinking.
"I'm home."
"Dad, Mom, Brother, why don't you go to bed? Brother, won't you go to work tomorrow?"
Huang Zhenhua said angrily: "I have to go to work, but your things are more important. Tell me, what's going on?"
Huang Yimei showed a bright smile: "What's going on? Zhou Chen is my boyfriend. Just now you said that I had a problem with Zhou Shihui and that I seduced him. I called Zhou Chen here just to prove myself. Now you also
We’ve all seen him, parents, you’ve never seen Zhou Shihui, brother, tell me, who is better, Zhou Chen or Zhou Shihui?”
Huang Zhenhua answered without thinking: "Is there any need to compare? It must be Zhou Chen. Zhou Shihui is far inferior to Zhou Chen in terms of appearance, temperament, conversation, and wealth. I don't think you have anything to do with Zhou Shihui."
.”
"Dad, Mom, you heard it, right? I already have a boyfriend, and I have more boyfriends than Zhou Shihui. Do I have to seduce Zhou Shihui and ruin the relationship between his unmarried couple?"
"No, no."
Huang Jianzhi originally didn't believe that his daughter would do such a thing, but now he repeatedly expressed his belief.
Wu Yuejiang snorted coldly: "Can you blame us? You didn't tell us such a big thing about your relationship, and that girl came to your door again and spoke in an orderly manner. How could we not misunderstand you? Do you think we want to teach you a lesson?
Ah, how unpleasant it would be if this thing spread, it could ruin your reputation."
Huang Yimei complained with an aggrieved look: "I explained it, but you don't believe me at all. What else can I do? If it weren't for Zhou Chen, I would really have been unjustly accused to death."
"You are still reasonable."
Wu Yuejiang pointed at Huang Yimei, and then gave a serious warning: "Rose, I have told you, I think Xiao Zhou is good and smart. If you call people here at night, they will not only come."
, and brought something with me; they are very generous, and you can’t hide it from them. You have to tell Xiao Zhou about this, and your brother’s job at the construction institute. You should not go there in the future, so as not to be gossiped about."
Huang Jianzhi agreed: "Rose, your mother is right, you have to explain this to Xiao Zhou. I don't think he is a stingy person. If you tell the truth, he will definitely understand. The internship work in the architecture institute, listen to your mother,
Stop going."
"No, Dad, Mom, Zhou Shihui and I have nothing to do. Why don't I go to work? If I don't go, wouldn't I be acquiescing to this matter? No, I can't accept it."
From the beginning to the end, Huang Yimei felt that she had no problem. She and Zhou Shihui had dinner together once and drank coffee once, but that was during work, and they were both teachers and students. After learning that Zhou Shihui had that intention, she
She refused very seriously.
Is this society so strict now that teachers and students can no longer even have a coffee or a meal?
