When Qi Weimin is not in class, he helps his mother look after the store at his family's store. The store is not far from Shamao Lane, so Zhou Chen drove his car and took Qiao Yicheng there with him.
This was Qiao Yicheng's first time riding in Zhou Chen's car. When he got in and sat behind the passenger seat, he transformed into a curious baby, looking left and touching.
"Zhou Chen, your car is too handsome, isn't it?"
Qiao Yicheng is also a man, so he naturally yearns for cars as a means of transportation, but he is self-aware and knows that cars are not what he can imagine.
"It's not bad, this Crown is really good at this time, and of course the price is also very gratifying."
Qiao Yicheng asked curiously: "Is it expensive? How much does it cost?"
"More than four hundred thousand."
"More than four hundred thousand?"
Qiao Yicheng instantly turned into a male duck, looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, and stopped touching the car.
"Why is this car so valuable?"
Let alone more than 400,000 yuan, he had never seen even 10,000 yuan in cash. This car was more expensive than their house.
Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. This car may not be that good, but the price is indeed very high. According to later generations, it is price overflow.
But even so, the sales of this Crown are very good in China.
After learning that this car was so valuable, although Qiao Yicheng became even more curious, he did not dare to touch it casually, feeling a little psychologically unbalanced.
"At 10%, you will be working soon. After you work, you may be able to buy a car and drive it soon."
Qiao Yicheng hummed: "Even if I make money, I won't buy a car. With this money, I might as well buy a house. A house is real estate, and a car is just a means of transportation. You can take a car or a bicycle."
, Why spend this wasted money to buy a car? I can’t compare with a kid from a rich family like you."
"If you weren't so sinister, would you die?" Zhou Chen turned around and cursed...
Qiao Yicheng hummed again. Among all the friends he knew, who he envied the most was definitely Zhou Chen.
He envied Zhou Chen not because Zhou Chen was smart and good at studying, nor because he was handsome and elegant. What he envied Zhou Chen most was Zhou Chen's family.
Compared with his family, Zhou Chen's family is undoubtedly happy and happy. His parents only have one child, and they pour all their love into Zhou Chen alone.
What he lacks most is the love of his parents, so he longs most for a family like Zhou Chen.
Of course, he also envied Zhou Chen's family conditions. While he was still studying hard and trying to live the life he wanted by his own abilities, Zhou Chen had already achieved his goal and became a rich second generation.
He has a rich family, drives a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and gets a doctorate after graduation. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that Zhou Chen is better than him in every aspect.
That is to say, he has known Zhou Chen for many years and knows Zhou Chen's temperament. Otherwise, he really doesn't want to play with Zhou Chen. No one likes to be a green leaf.
The car soon arrived at Qi Weimin's store. Qiao Yicheng rolled down the window and shouted toward the store: "Qi Weimin."
Qi Weimin walked out, followed by a woman. When Qiao Yicheng saw it, he immediately called: "Second Aunt."
Qi Weimin looked at Qiao Yicheng sitting in the passenger seat in surprise, but when he saw that the driver was Zhou Chen, he was not surprised.
"Zhou Chen, is this the car you bought? It's so handsome."
Qi Weimin's personality was much more cheerful than Qiao Yicheng's, and the envy in his eyes was undisguised. He walked up to him and reached out to touch the car door.
He had heard from Qiao Yicheng before that Zhou Chen bought a car, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, the visual impact was still great.
"Yes, do you have a driver's license? Do you want to drive it?"
Qi Weimin quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't have a driver's license. Besides, your car is so good, even if I have a driver's license, I wouldn't dare to drive it."
Qiao Yicheng urged impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car quickly."
Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "That's right, hurry up and get in the car. Today is a 10% treat. Let's kill him well."
"Hey, Yi Cheng is treating him, then I really want to kill him."
Qi Weimin opened the rear door with a smile, and then said to his mother Wei Shufang: "Mom, I'm going out to eat with Yicheng and the others, so don't mess with my food tonight."
Wei Shufang waved her hand and said: "Go ahead and don't drink."
"I know, Mom." Qi Weimin got into the car.
Qiao Yicheng shouted: "Second aunt, let's go first."
Zhou Chen also waved his hand politely: "Auntie, we are leaving."
Wei Shufang waved her hand, watched the car leave, and muttered: "This Zhou Chen, his parents are so kind to him. They bought him a car while he was still in school."
A man of about the same age as him came out. He was wearing a pair of glasses and was polite and seemed to be a cultured man. He heard Wei Shufang's muttering.
"He is what you said before, the son of the boss of Chenxing Textile Factory?"
"Well, that's him, Lao Ma. You may not know that his family used to work in a textile factory. Three years ago, he bought the textile factory without knowing why. Now it's so big. This small car
It’s not cheap at first glance, so I bought it immediately.”
Qi Weimin's father, Qi Zhiqiang, passed away a few years ago. This old man was his neighbor. The two had known each other for a while and had a crush on each other, but neither one made it clear.
I have to say that Wei Shufang's luck is really good. Qi Zhiqiang and Ma Yulin are both good men. Compared with her eldest sister, she was really blessed in her life. Even in the end, she had a good son who was extremely filial.
Young, middle-aged and old, she has truly been able to support herself in old age, so she is a very lucky woman.
Ma Yulin said with a smile: "Your family Weimin works very hard, and he will definitely be very successful in the future. He will not be worse than that kid."
Wei Shufang nodded. Her eldest son was her pride. Although she knew that Zhou Chen was very good, she felt that her eldest son was no worse than him.
"Our family will be able to buy cars based on their own abilities in the future."
In the car, Qi Weimin asked: "Zhou Chen, where are we going?"
"You should ask Yicheng, he is the host today."
"Yicheng, where should we eat?"
Qiao Yicheng scratched his head. He was used to saving money. He had almost never eaten in restaurants outside and didn't know which one was delicious.
Today he invited Zhou Chen and Qi Weimin to dinner. He couldn't afford it because it was too expensive, but he didn't want to deal with it casually.
Seeing Qiao Yicheng's hesitation, Zhou Chen suggested with a smile: "Since we haven't thought about it, let's go to Jinling Hotel?"
When he heard about Jinling Hotel, Qiao Yicheng's face turned green, while Qi Weimin cheered: "Okay, I haven't been to Jinling Hotel yet."
"What a fart."
Gu E
Qiao Yicheng scolded angrily, "Even if you sell me, I can't afford it. It's just the restaurant opposite our school. Eat as much as you like."
Zhou Chen laughed and said: "Look, it's urgent, it's urgent."
Qi Weimin also laughed: "Okay, you can eat wherever you want."
Zhou Chen naturally knew where the Normal University was, so he turned the car around and headed for the Normal University.
Although the roads in this era are not as spacious as they would be a few decades later, most of them are pedestrians and cyclists, the number of cars is still relatively small, and there are very few traffic lights, so driving is still relatively smooth.
The three of them came to a small restaurant next to the Normal University.
"Do you want to drink?" Qiao Yicheng asked Zhou Chen and Qi Weimin after ordering.
Qi Weimin said: "I don't care, Zhou Chen, you are driving, you can't drink, right?"
Zhou Chen: "It's okay. Have a drink. I'll call my dad and ask the driver to come over later."
"Okay, I'll ask the boss to bring two bottles of liquor."
The three of them chatted and waited for the food to be served.
"Yicheng, you are about to graduate. Have you decided what to do after graduation?" Qi Weimin asked Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng will graduate from graduate school this year. He doesn't plan to continue studying, so he will naturally have to worry about work.
"Take the civil service exam, enter a national unit, or take the exam for other units?"
Qiao Yicheng said: "I haven't decided yet. I will interview with a few more units then."
When looking for a job, he naturally wants to find a good employer, but he is self-aware. Although he has graduated from a master's degree, it doesn't matter. It is not easy to get into a good employer.
Zhou Chen comforted him: "Qiao Yicheng, you'll be fine. Among all my friends, you can be considered the hardest working one. Opportunities are for those who are prepared and believe in themselves."
Qiao Yicheng's character is flawed, but he is really hardworking. This is also a social phenomenon among ordinary people today. For ordinary people, learning is the best way for them to change their future.
Qiao Yicheng smiled, and then asked: "What about you two? Dr. Zhou Chen still has two or three years to go, but Qi Weimin, you will also graduate next year. Have you decided what to do?"
Qi Weimin said: "My parents have wanted me to go to a government agency before. I will definitely take the civil service exam and will most likely pursue an official career."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen nodded silently, because in the TV plot, Qi Weimin took this path.
"What about you, Zhou Chen, after you graduate with your doctorate, will you go to the hospital or somewhere else?"
"Me, I plan to stay in school and become a teacher. I will do knowledge and research. I may also go to the hospital to get my name. If I have time, I will go to see a doctor. Let's talk about it then."
Zhou Chen has already made plans for his future. He cannot stay in the hospital and be a doctor all the time. He also has to contribute to the country.
The food was served quickly, and the three of them poured wine and chatted while drinking. First they talked about studies, the future, and work, but slowly they started talking about women.
"Yicheng, how are you and your Miss Wen doing now? I've never heard from you."
Zhou Chen took the initiative to ask Qiao Yicheng. A few years ago, he used the god-level Yuelao skills on Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an. Several years later, there was no reaction at all. This made him very strange. Could it be that his skills
Didn't work?
I didn't have a chance to ask before, so today I took advantage of the dinner party to ask.
Qi Weimin suddenly became interested and asked very curiously: "Miss Wen, who is Miss Wen? Yicheng, why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Qiao Yicheng's confidentiality work was very good. Only Zhou Chen knew about him and Wen Ju'an. Even the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family didn't know about it, and naturally Qi Weimin didn't know either.
Qiao Yicheng's face was gloomy. Seeing this expression, Zhou Chen suddenly thought: "What, is something wrong?"
Qiao Yicheng sighed heavily and said: "We have been communicating in the past two years. I went to the capital once before and met Ju'an. She has gone to college. We got along very well that time, but after
After Ju'an and I met her mother, her mother didn't agree with what we were doing."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Wen Ju'an's mother did seem to have a problem, but because he had never seen her, he didn't know the details.
Qi Weimin asked with concern: "It is indeed a problem that the woman's mother does not agree, but as long as Miss Wen insists, no matter how hard you work and use time to prove everything, her mother will agree to your matter sooner or later, right?"
Qiao Yicheng: "You don't understand. It's not as simple as you said. Her mother has very high requirements for Ju'an, and I don't meet her requirements at all, so she firmly disagrees with us being together."
"So you gave up?" Qi Weimin asked.
Qiao Yicheng didn't say anything. Of course he didn't want to give up, but this was not his problem alone. Thinking that Ju'an and he had not exchanged letters for a year, he felt extremely painful in his heart.
This was his first relationship. He had dreamed of their future countless times, but in the face of reality, he was really vulnerable.
Qiao Yicheng's reaction made Qi Weimin very angry. He angrily shouted: "Qiao Yicheng, this is not like you. Isn't it because someone opposes that you won't persist?"
Seeing Qiao Yicheng being scolded by Qi Weimin, it was difficult to refute him. Zhou Chen could understand his mood, so he patted Qi Weimin on the shoulder.
"Okay, Weimin, what's the use of saying this? What he needs now is comfort, not these."
"How's it going with you and Chang Xingyu?"
Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu became acquainted because of Qiao Qiqi, and they had been talking for some time.
Qi Weimin calmed down and said, "We plan to get engaged after graduation and then get married after we buy our own house."
Chang Xingyu is already a junior in college and is also in her first year at the normal school. She is Qiao Yicheng's junior sister and Qiao Sanli's junior sister, so they are relatively familiar with each other.
"What about you? Sanli has already gone to college. Haven't you started taking action?" Qi Weimin asked Zhou Chen.
Before Zhou Chen spoke, Qiao Yicheng couldn't help but cough a few times. He said dissatisfiedly to Qi Weimin: "Qi Weimin, Sanli is my biological sister. Do you think it is appropriate to say such a thing in front of me?
?”
Qi Weimin said: "What's inappropriate? The male college should get married, and the female college should marry. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened between the two of them. There's nothing that can't be said."
Facing Qi Weimin's teasing and Qiao Yicheng's glare, Zhou Chen touched his nose in embarrassment and said in front of his eldest brother that this was indeed not a good idea.
So he changed the subject and said: "Yicheng, there is something I want to tell you and I need to ask for your opinion."
"What's up?"
"Uncle Qiao came to see me today."
Qiao Yicheng frowned: "My dad?"
"Yes, Sanli went to my house with him because of work matters. He went to Chenxing to apply for a job but failed, so he wanted to use my relationship..."
After listening to Zhou Chen's narration, Qiao Yicheng's face turned red and he slammed the table angrily, "Qiao Zuwang, he really has no face at all."
His father went to his friend's house to ask for help, which was a great shame and humiliation for Qiao Yicheng, who had a strong self-esteem.
Zhou Chen said: "I found a reason, saying that his age was inappropriate, and then I asked Erqiang and Simei to go to work in Chenxing Textile Factory, but this matter must be approved by you."
