Chapter 1569: Double Happiness, Jealousy is Human Nature
Chapter 1571 Double happiness, jealousy is human nature
"It's really a marriage certificate."
Shen Lin opened her marriage certificate and was very shocked when she saw the two-inch photo of Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue smiling brightly.
Marriage certificates are not uncommon. Na Wei and Shen Lin, Shen Lei and Xie Meilan all have them, but the marriage certificates of Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue have a different meaning.
Although Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue have been in love for nearly three years, in their eyes, they have not yet reached the point of discussing marriage. At least they have never heard Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue talk about marriage.
Na Wei stretched his head and saw the date.
"Did you just get the certificate the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, the day before yesterday was an auspicious day for marriage, so we went to get the certificate."
Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue looked at each other and smiled, but Li Xiaoyue's face was still a little rosy. In fact, she was also a little dizzy. After receiving the certificate the day before yesterday, until now, she felt like she was dreaming.
Ever since her parents passed away, she felt like she had no home. She had been alone all these years until she met Zhou Chen.
But falling in love and getting married are completely different concepts. Now that she and Zhou Chen are legally married, she has reorganized a new family. This is really dreamy.
Na Wei didn't know what to say for a while. After all, he was just the eldest brother, not a parent.
"This is too sudden for you. Our mother doesn't even know about it yet, right?"
"I haven't said it yet. I originally planned to ask her to come over, but she doesn't want to come. I plan to tell her in the evening."
However, Shen Lin reacted quickly. She smiled and said to Li Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, I have always thought you are a good girl. Juan Juan is lucky to meet you. I have always thought that you two are the best match. Now you have finally achieved success." Zhengguo, this is really a happy thing, even happier than buying a new house."
"Juanjuan, Xiaoyue, congratulations."
Shen Lin raised her wine glass, and the Wei people also raised their glasses in congratulations. Even Yue Yue raised their drinking glasses to join in the fun.
Seeing Li Xiaoyue being beamed with congratulations and blessings from everyone, Xie Meilan couldn't help but feel an emotion called jealousy in her heart.
Xie Meilan is a master's degree graduate from a prestigious school. She is considered outstanding among her peers in terms of academic qualifications and appearance. After marrying Shen Lei, she felt very happy in the first two years, but as time went by, It became increasingly difficult for her to bear Shen Lei's willingness to accept the status quo.
Most of the employees in the same company as her are not as good as her, but they all live better than her, so she envies those colleagues who are supported by men.
But envy is envy, not to the level of jealousy, because she feels that relying on her own abilities, she can slowly become stronger and richer on her own.
But at this moment, she admitted that she was jealous, very jealous of Li Xiaoyue.
She was not familiar with Li Xiaoyue, but she roughly knew Li Xiaoyue's situation, and had heard about Li Xiaoyue from her sister-in-law Shen Lin.
In her eyes, Li Xiaoyue is a little girl who is not doing her job properly and has no enterprising spirit. She only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long and does not know the dark reality of society. She is somewhat similar to her husband Shen Lei, but Shen Lei is more honest and does not know how to eat, drink and have fun. In addition to going to work all day long, he also does housework at home. He doesn't look like a man who can support his family at all.
So she couldn't understand how someone like Li Xiaoyue, who didn't know how to make progress, had no ambition, no plan, didn't start working on the future, and just had fun all day long, was so lucky to find a super potential stock like Zhou Chen.
When you get married, you can live in a mansion, be raised and loved by such an excellent man, and you don't have to worry about life, you can only enjoy it.
And she worked so hard, worked so seriously, and tried her best to make herself live a better life.
As a result, after all these years, she still has no house, no car, and no valuable jewelry. Even if she wants to buy a decent and affordable brand-name bag, it is difficult for her to be satisfied.
Everything that she couldn't get despite all her efforts, but the result was far inferior to her Li Xiaoyue, was within easy reach.
What made her most angry was that Li Xiaoyue, who had clearly got everything, looked like she didn't care about it at all, and even said that it would be troublesome to clean up such a big house. In her opinion, it was too powerful. Installed.
She was jealous of Li Xiaoyue's luck, and also angry about Li Xiaoyue's calm demeanor. What was even more helpless was that despite working so hard, there was still a man holding him back.
She only felt that her future was dark, and she wanted to change it, but was powerless.
Xie Meilan's mentality did not just appear today, but has been there for a long time. Working in a place like a financial investment bank where people deal with money all day, most people will change, let alone someone like her who wants to be strong. Arrogant woman.
It was only today that seeing Li Xiaoyue's happiness was in stark contrast to his downtrodden self, which caused his mentality to become completely unbalanced.
On the other hand, Shen Lei didn't notice anything strange about his wife and was just having fun there.
He was really careless. When he learned that Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue had received their marriage certificates, he was nothing but congratulations and blessings.
Today is truly a double happiness. Na Wei and the others raised their glasses to toast Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue, and there was great joy.
After dinner, Li Xiaoyue was pulled by Yue Yue and ran around the house. Shen Lin held her son and admired the new house again. Na Wei and Shen Lei were sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhou Chen. Xie Meilan stood alone in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the community in front of her.
Na Wei took the opportunity to ask Zhou Chen whether he earned so much money by stock trading and investing.
Zhou Chen didn't hide it and said that it was indeed the case. Na Wei asked again if they could also trade stocks together.
Zhou Chen knew that he was envious when he saw his current situation, so he asked this question.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't like to lead others to make a fortune, but it also depends on the situation. Things like stock trading are too random. He can grasp it himself, but others may not be able to grasp it. After all, not everyone is like him. self-control and experience.
As for taking other people's money and helping others make money, this is not a good choice. Even he can't make money every time he trades in stocks. Who will lose the money then?
It's good to make money, but if he loses money, should he stick to it? If he sticks to it, he will become a money-giving boy. If he doesn't stick to it, it will hurt his feelings.
Therefore, he is generally not willing to bring his relatives with him for this kind of unstable money-making business. It is purely a thankless task, and he may end up full of complaints in the end.
Fortunately, he had encountered this kind of thing frequently and had rich experience. He told Na Wei directly that he could accept Na Wei's money, but he only had two options for controlling the money.
One is that the stock market is unstable and he is not sure of winning. You can leave it to him, but you will be responsible for winning or losing. If you are lucky, he will not take commission if you win. If you are unlucky, he will not be responsible for losing everything;
The other is to give him money, and he will pay a certain amount of interest. Win or lose will be counted on him. This is pure interest earning.
When Na Wei heard this, he immediately hesitated. His original intention was to make money, but he couldn't make money steadily. Of course he was worried. As for the second option, it was to earn interest. If that was the case, it would be better to deposit in the bank for a fixed term, which would be stable, safe and risk-free.
.
People are like this. They will be jealous when they see others making money, but if they are really asked to hand over their money to others, they cannot feel at ease.
Human nature is selfish, and people are more willing to believe in themselves than to believe in others.
Especially when it comes to money, even husband and wife, father and son cannot have true heart-to-heart communication and true mutual trust, let alone two people from different families.
Seeing Na Wei's disappointed look, Zhou Chen persuaded him: "Brother, the stock market is actually gambling. Unless you are a banker, you cannot win steadily. Even if you are a banker, you may encounter a bigger banker and end up losing all your money."
No return, this industry looks high-yield, but in fact the risk is higher. Unless you can withstand failure, it is best not to touch the stock market."
"As for investment, it is actually no better than the stock market. Investment relies on vision, resources and experience. It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of investments are loss-making, and many of them have long profit cycles, and there is not enough capital and experience.
Guanxi is really not suitable for investment and cannot be played with."
When engaging in investment business, without a large amount of capital as a foundation, as well as sufficient social relationships and resources and connections, it is almost impossible to make money, and you will definitely lose everything.
The reason why Zhou Chen can make money is because he is experienced enough and has a vision for the future. More importantly, he really regards money as dirt. Even if he loses it all in the end, he will not have much.
The worst case scenario for psychological fluctuations is to bring it all over again.
To use an analogy, for him, making money is like playing a game. It doesn’t matter how much or how little he earns. As long as he enjoys it and is happy enough, he doesn’t care about winning or losing. For others, money may be his life and he can only succeed.
, simply cannot afford failure.
There is no comparison between the life of ordinary people and the life of cheaters.
Shen Lei agreed very much with Zhou Chen's words.
"Brother-in-law, I think Na Juan is right. Things like stocks and investments are really too risky and cannot be played by ordinary people. We don't have that kind of windfall, so we can just make some stable money and support our family. Perfection and happiness are more important than anything else. There is no need to take risks and gamble. If we fail, we cannot afford the consequences."
Na Wei didn't say anything, but he was worried in his heart. His family had some savings, but they weren't much, so they couldn't stand the trouble. If they lost the money, it would be really painful.
He only saw Zhou Chen's current glory, but as Zhou Chen said, the stock market is too risky. If he loses money at once, the consequences will be really disastrous.
So he no longer had the idea of letting Zhou Chen take him to make money together. He still felt that he would have more prospects if he went to work honestly and became his own vice president. Moreover, the company was considering financing recently, and his eldest brother Wang Ruizhi had decided to give them a few Old man options and company options are much safer than any stock market. Once confirmed, they are worth at least tens of millions.
However, when Xie Meilan heard what Shen Lei said, she couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth. What's the point of making sure money? People with this kind of thinking will never get rich.
In the financial industry, there are too many people who have become rich overnight. Although she also feels that the stock market and investment may not be safe, it is definitely much better than being an honest laborer.
Zhou Chen also wanted to stay with Na Wei and the others for dinner, but because Zixuan was noisy, they didn't stay. Naturally, Shen Lei and Xie Meilan didn't stay either, and left with them.
At night, rare stars gather in the sky.
Zhou Chen hugged Li Xiaoyue, and the two stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky outside. Li Xiaoyue still held their marriage certificates in her hand, with a happy smile on her face.
"Now that I think about it, it still feels untrue. How could I have agreed to go with you to get the certificate in a flash?"
Zhou Chen pressed Li Xiaoyue's cheek and hummed: "What does it mean to be hot-headed? Are you being wronged by marrying me?"
"That's not the case. I'm trying to impress you. I just feel that we were in a good relationship and suddenly got married. I don't know how we will get along with each other in the future. Should I call you by your name or call you by your name in the future? Your husband?" Li Xiaoyue pressed close to Zhou Chen.
"It's up to you. You can call me whatever you think is comfortable. You can also call me by my name during the day and my husband at night. You can also call me husband when you're working..." Zhou Chen whispered in her ear.
Li Xiaoyue's face turned red and she shouted: "Stop talking. What's wrong with you? The more you talk, the more you go wrong. Why are all those unhealthy things in your mind?"
Zhou Chen said dissatisfiedly: "How can it be called unhealthy? Reproduction is human instinct and the most noble thing in the world."
"Okay, okay, okay, I can't speak to you. You, a science major, can speak better than I, a liberal arts major."
"Because you are my woman, I like you, and I am willing to tell you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say a word like this. Any more words would be a waste of time and feelings."
Li Xiaoyue was very satisfied with what Zhou Chen said. She turned around and hugged Zhou Chen, gave him a sweet kiss, then hugged Zhou Chen and lingered all the way to the bed, with her clothes flying...
The next day, Li Xiaoyue was dressed neatly.
Although she is married, she still has the same style as before. She wears clothes that she feels comfortable in. She doesn't see much of the intellectuality and maturity of a working woman, but more of a coquettish and cute one. Regardless of her age, you can't tell that she is a woman at all.
A woman in her late twenties.
"Do you think my interview will be successful today?"
Li Xiaoyue carefully applied light red lipstick and asked Zhou Chen who was looking at her.
Zhou Chen said: "I can't think of a reason for failure. Our Xiaoyue is so outstanding. If anyone doesn't recruit you, it means they have poor vision."
"Hmph, you changed your tune pretty quickly. I told you which company would recruit me before, even if they were unlucky. Why don't you tell me now?"
"You said you were a company killer. You can't blame me. You are my wife. A woman who can kill me is so incompetent."
"Your way of boasting is so old-fashioned."
Even so, Li Xiaoyue still showed a happy expression with a smile on her face.
"I have to interview several companies today, both in the morning and afternoon. If I'm too late at noon, I won't come back for dinner, so you can eat by yourself."
"No problem, by the way, I'm going to find a nanny, one who doesn't live at home and can make lunch and dinner during the day, as well as do housework and cleaning. After all, you have to go to work, and you may be very tired and don't have the time and energy to do housework and cleaning.
Sometimes I may be too busy to take care of hygiene. It would be easier and more convenient if someone at home does the cooking and cleaning."
Making money is for enjoyment, not for money to turn into a string of numbers on a card. He cannot spend all his time doing housework. Doing housework with Li Xiaoyue usually touches his feelings, but if he keeps doing it, this
This is not the lifestyle he wants.
Li Xiaoyue paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, this way I usually go to work, and you can save trouble at home alone. Moreover, we may also travel for many days at a time, so there really needs to be someone at home to take care of you."
They are now husband and wife, and she is not ready to change her consumption concept, but many things are already moving closer to Zhou Chen, and the family is so big, it would be really troublesome if it really depends on the two of them to manage it.
Moreover, my man is a man who does important things and cannot be limited to the kitchen and housework. Finding a nanny can save both of them a lot of energy and time.
"But I have to find someone reliable."
"That's natural. I'll wait for you to nod when the time comes."
