Chapter 147: "I have a crush on Zhou Wang"
Chapter 147: "I have a crush on Zhou Wang"
It\'s just that Jiang Qingkui\'s expression is a little helpless...
Dad, if you open your mouth so wide, I will be embarrassed, okay?
The two heads on the balcony were stunned for a while and then retreated together. After a while, rapid footsteps sounded from the corridor, but it was not only Zhou Dajun and Jiang Jiaxing who came downstairs, but also Wen Xun who ran down. Zhao Guihua.
But she still held an unpeeled potato in her hand, which made Zhou Wang dumbfounded.
"What a great run!"
The most surprised person was Jiang Jiaxing. He didn\'t even bother to talk to his daughter. He just walked directly in front of the Mercedes-Benz G63 and looked around.
Most people of their generation cannot recognize so many flashy models. Even a model like the E300 is considered a big sedan in their eyes, let alone the more domineering G63.
"Wangwang, is this your car?"
Zhao Guihua didn\'t know much about cars, but she knew that the car must be very expensive. She didn\'t dare to approach it for a while, but she just asked in a daze.
Hearing his mother call him by his nickname, Zhou Wang was still a little embarrassed, although neither Jiang Qingkui nor Miao Ying showed anything strange.
If he has any childhood shadow, this slightly shameful nickname must be one of them.
Because it has the same pronunciation as "woof", his childhood playmates always called him "gouzi", and later the nickname "gou brother" came from this.
After growing up, under the guidance of Zhou Dajun, my mother rarely called him by his nickname, and she probably forgot it now.
"It\'s mine. I just bought it about ten days ago."
Facing the doubtful looks cast by five people at the same time, Zhou Wang smiled and nodded.
Hey, why five people?
Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the aunt of the family on the first floor was standing nearby with her grandson at some point, watching the excitement...
"Zhou Wang, your... car costs over two million, right?"
Jiang Jiaxing remembered that he saw a car with a similar shape in the Mercedes-Benz showroom yesterday. With a seven-digit price tag, he could only take a look at it from a distance.
His family\'s living conditions in Jingcheng were pretty decent, and he couldn\'t afford it even if he spent all his savings to buy it, but who could afford to spend all his money to buy a car?
"Uncle Jiang, the two million you are talking about should be the Mercedes-Benz G500. This is the Mercedes-Benz G63, which will cost around 3.5 million."
Zhou Wang explained with a smile.
"More than three million?!"
This exclamation did not come from Jiang Jiaxing, but from Zhou Wang\'s father. As for Zhou Wang\'s mother, she still didn\'t come to her senses for a while...
"Wangwang, where did you get so much money..."
Soon, Zhao Guihua, who was startled, asked quickly.
Her expression was one of confusion and excitement. It was not that she suspected that her son had done something illegal. In fact, even if Zhou Wang really made a lot of money illegally, the first thought of being a parent would definitely be to find ways to cover it up for his son. ...
Obviously, this is what Zhou Dajun thinks.
He stopped Zhao Guihua\'s inquiry, waved his hand and said: "Go up first, and then we\'ll talk about it when we get home!"
"That\'s right, go home first!"
Zhao Guihua also quickly agreed.
Jiang Jiaxing said nothing, but he obviously agreed. It was only then that he noticed that Jiang Qingkui was actually wearing a professional skirt. The change in her temperament could only be described as earth-shaking.
But at this time, Zhou Wang had already invited Lao Zhou and his wife to move things together. He would not just watch like this. After all, his daughter was also helping...
Jiang Jiaxing was full of doubts and could only hold back temporarily.
The six people then moved the things in the trunk together. Because there were too many things, it took them two trips to get them all.
Interestingly, the grandson of the aunt on the first floor who is in junior high school also helped out under the instruction of the aunt.
This scene made Lao Zhou and Lao Jiang extremely disgusted.
When the two of them were parking the car just now, the aunt said something and had to move. But when Zhou Wang\'s car stopped here, the other party not only said nothing, but also smiled and asked his grandson to help...
After he finished moving the things, Zhou Wang stretched out his hand to Jiang Qingkui. Jiang Qingkui took out two hundred yuan from his bag. Zhou Wang took it and gave it directly to the child.
"I wish you success in your studies!"
"Oh, I can\'t do it, I can\'t do it..."
The aunt refused three times symbolically, and finally pretended to be helpless and let the child accept it.
"Thank you brother!"
The child thanked her politely, and then followed the smiling aunt downstairs.
...
A few minutes later, in the living room of Zhou Wang\'s house.
Everyone sat down, except Miao Ying who was standing far away alone.
"Hey, my girl, you should sit down too!"
Zhao Guihua didn\'t know Miao Ying\'s identity yet, so she thought she was also Zhou Wang\'s friend or classmate, so she quickly greeted her.
Miao Ying shook her head and looked at Zhou Wang at a loss.
But Zhou Wang knew that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion. While appreciating her, he did not pretend to insist on letting her come over. He just smiled and said: "Tao Qing, you can do it yourself. You can also sit in the dining room."
Miao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and walked towards the dining room.
"She is..."
"Mom, don\'t worry about her now. I\'ll explain to you later."
Zhou Wang waved his hand, "Let\'s talk about it the same way."
At this time, Comrade Lao Zhou had regained his composure after taking a deep breath. Hearing this, he took the lead and said, "Zhou Wang, tell me, what is going on?"
"Dad, Mom, take a look at this first."
Zhou Wang took out a lottery ticket with "Redemption" written on it from his bag and pushed it from the coffee table to his parents.
People of Lao Zhou\'s generation have basically experienced the lottery marketing craze. In the intervening years, Zhou Dajun was even considered a loyal customer of the lottery shop. Therefore, with just one glance, Zhou Dajun recognized that it was a Lotto ticket.
The lottery ticket that won the first prize does not indicate the amount of the prize, so nothing can be seen at first glance. However, because of the Mercedes-Benz G63, the three older generations here instantly realized something.
"Did you win the first prize?"
Lao Zhou asked immediately, staring closely at his son.
"To be precise, it\'s an additional first prize, thirteen million after tax."
Zhou Wang smiled.
Even with some mental preparation, his parents still took a breath together, and Jiang Jiaxing was also a little stunned.
More than ten million!
Or cash.
For any ordinary class, this is an unimaginable amount of money.
"Wangwang, this... when did this happen?"
After Zhao Guihua came to her senses, she said, "Did you go to receive the award alone? Why didn\'t you kid tell us... Then how much money do you have left now... You can\'t spend three million even if you have ten million To buy a car, you must first buy a house..."
Zhao Guihua spoke a little hastily and incoherently. She was obviously shocked by the huge amount of money.
In her mother\'s subconscious mind, as long as Zhou Wang is not married, he is still a "child", but he has won such a big prize without telling his parents. Zhao Guihua is naturally a little anxious and worried, fearing that Zhou Wang Waste money.
"It\'s been a while."
On the preserved lottery ticket, the date and numbers had become somewhat blurred due to Zhou Wang\'s deliberate wear and tear, so Zhou Wang spoke up before his father could speak.
"Dad, Mom, this lottery ticket is just the beginning. Don\'t worry, listen to me first."
Hearing this, Zhou Dajun, who was about to say something, took a deep breath and grabbed Zhao Guihua\'s arm, signaling her to calm down first.
"After I won the prize, I thought about whether to tell you right away, but I know very well that if I told you, you would most likely ask me to save it, or use the money to help me buy a house or a car... "
When Zhou Dajun nodded unconsciously, Zhou Wang continued: "So I made another choice, using this money... to invest."
"Investment?" Jiang Jiaxing couldn\'t help but interject at this time, "Zhou Wang, investing is a risky thing, and there are many scams on the market now. You must be careful to identify them and not make hasty decisions!"
Jiang Jiaxing said it tactfully, but he was obviously worried that Zhou Wang would not be able to control such a large amount of wealth and might even suffer losses.
Zhao Guihua also had an uneasy look on her face. Zhou Dajun was okay, but his expression could not help but become more solemn.
Because he himself is the one who suffered big losses in the so-called "investment"...
"I can only say that the current results are pretty good."
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "I invested in some short-term finance and some industries. So far, my assets have increased more than ten times."
"ten times?"
Jiang Jiaxing was startled, "When you say ten times, you mean..."
"Dad, ten times ten million."
Jiang Qingkui spoke softly at this time: "I can help Zhou Wang prove that his current fixed assets and liquid cash have reached the level of hundreds of millions."
Among the people present, only Jiang Qingkui knew that Zhou Wang won the lottery after becoming rich, but she would not explore Zhou Wang\'s secrets in the first place, so no matter how Zhou Wang explained to his parents, she would only cooperate.
"Well, Qing Kui is right." Zhou Wang also smiled at this time, "Dad, Mom, it\'s a showdown, your son is now a billionaire!"
There was silence in the living room for a while.
Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua were both a little confused, their heads dizzy from the rapid surge of blood.
Although ten million is a lot, it is not out of the scope of normal people\'s imagination.
But one hundred million...
It is no exaggeration to say that although most people joke about this number, they actually have no idea what this number actually means.
To put it most simply, this is the kind of wealth that ordinary people can only achieve by accumulating money and spending twenty lifetimes.
If you calculate based on a normal annual income of 100,000, if you want to earn 100 million in 2024, you will have to start working in the second year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty...
Even Zhao Guihua, who had just given birth to help her son manage money, became at a loss now.
Because even if she was given 100 million, she wouldn\'t know how to spend it. She would even be worried about not being able to eat or sleep well...
Zhou Wang had previously thought about whether to slowly show his wealth to his parents, but with Tongzi\'s awesomeness, the speed of his wealth expansion was destined to be difficult to measure with common sense. It would be better to be high-profile from the beginning and wait for his parents to digest this. After the fact, it will be much easier to accept later...
As a bystander, Jiang Jiaxing was the first to react, but he became suspicious immediately.
"Qing Kui, how do you know so clearly?"
Regarding the matter of Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui going home together, Jiang Jiaxing was originally full of doubts. Now seeing his daughter\'s determined look, as if she knew Zhou Wang\'s situation very well, Jiang Jiaxing couldn\'t help but feel a "thump" in his heart.
He had only guessed before that Zhou Wang was chasing his daughter, but now it seemed that he had succeeded... Thinking of this, Jiang Jiaxing felt more and more wrong.
He instantly remembered some details that he had missed because of the Mercedes-Benz Big G incident.
For example, Jiang Qingkui made the tea on the table now. For example, his daughter was not sitting next to him at this time. Instead, she was closer to Zhou Wang, with her knees pointing in the direction of the Zhou boy...
Jiang Jiaxing couldn\'t sit still.
He didn\'t care whether Wang Wang was a billionaire or not, and stood up immediately, "Qingkui, come with me. Dad has something to ask you."
With Jiang Qingkui\'s intelligence, she naturally knew what her father wanted to ask, but she did not move. She just sat and shook her head and said, "Dad, just say it here. I know what you want to ask. It\'s about my relationship with Zhou Wang, right?" ?"
When Jiang Jiaxing nodded, Jiang Qingkui said lightly, "I am his secretary now."
If Zhou Wang\'s statement that he had made 100 million just made the living room silent, now it is audible.
Zhou Wang\'s parents were all open-mouthed, especially Zhou Dajun, whose reaction at this moment was even more exaggerated than that of Zhao Guihua...
What did he hear?
Jiang Qingkui, is her son\'s secretary? !
Isn\'t my old Zhou dreaming?
From a certain perspective, this incident shocked Zhou Dajun and his wife as much as his own son suddenly becoming a billionaire...
That was the Jiang Qingkui they watched grow up!
It didn\'t matter that he was good at studies, but he was also tall and beautiful. Among the employees in the state-owned enterprise compound back then, who didn\'t hate Jiang Jiaxing behind his back?
I don\'t know how many lifetimes of cultivation it took to be able to give birth to such a daughter...
Especially after Jiang Qingkui became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the jealousy and envy of everyone in the courtyard towards Jiang Jiaxing reached its peak.
Even now, many years have passed, there are still many people who don\'t want to see Jiang Jiaxing\'s face at all... He always tries to show off his daughter\'s issues over and over again, but they still can\'t refute him. !
As one of Jiang Jiaxing\'s old friends, Zhou Dajun was naturally deeply affected by it, but he was a typical good guy and never showed it.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard that Jiang Qingkui had become his son\'s secretary, and his son had become Jiang Qingkui\'s leader. While dreaming, Zhou Dajun felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down in the dog days of summer, and his whole body felt refreshed!
Originally, he expected his son to follow Jiang Qingkui, but now Zhou Wang directly gave him a "reverse Tiangang".
Lao Zhou said that this life is worth it!
Of course, Lao Zhou was happy, but Lao Jiang felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
His expression was distorted for a moment, and he seemed to be holding back the attack. Finally, he just gritted his teeth and said: "Qingkui, are you kidding dad?"
"I\'m serious, Dad, the contract has been signed..."
"You...have so many choices, why wouldn\'t you do it?"
With the last hint of disillusionment, Jiang Jiaxing loudly said in disbelief: "You don\'t want a million-dollar annual salary and millions-worth of shares, and you become the secretary of the Zhou family boy?"
Originally, he and Zhou Dajun were both from state-owned enterprises, and their understanding of secretaries was nothing more than serving tea and water, welcoming and delivering guests. If they were female secretaries...
Considering that this was his daughter after all, Jiang Jiaxing suppressed any more unpleasant words he had to say.
Before Jiang Qingkui wanted to speak again, Zhou Wang spoke up first.
"Uncle Jiang, you misunderstood. Strictly speaking, Sister Qingkui is not exactly my secretary. It\'s just that she takes good care of me at work, so she assumes part of this responsibility."
Jiang Jiaxing, who was angry, originally didn\'t want to pay attention to Zhou Wang, but when he heard Zhou Wang\'s words, he couldn\'t help but be startled.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that she is a secretary in name, but in fact, you can think of Sister Qingkui as one of my entrepreneurial partners. Usually, her main job is to assist me in managing my property."
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "In addition to the basic job benefits, she will also receive equity incentives in the future. When the industry grows in the future, she will also need to hold a senior management position in the group, so her daily work is not what you imagine... ..."
After Zhou Wang\'s explanation, although Jiang Jiaxing\'s expression remained unchanged, his expression softened significantly.
Jiang Qingkui glanced at Zhou Wang silently, with a rare softness in his eyes.
Because she knew that from Zhou Wang\'s point of view, there was no need for him to say these words. She was fully mentally prepared for her parents\' possible harsh criticism and confusion...
To put it bluntly, even if this was Zhou Wang\'s deliberate attempt to attract people\'s hearts, so what, at least she was really moved...
"Even so, it won\'t sound good to the secretary if she says it out loud. How can Qingkui, a girl, get married in the future..."
"Dad, what time has it been? Stop holding on to those pedantic ideas."
Zhou Wang couldn\'t answer this, Jiang Qingkui said in time, "Besides, Mr. Zhou didn\'t treat me badly. To be fair, the treatment he gave me even exceeded those of companies and law firms that wanted to hire me."
"Oh, do you have an annual salary of one million?"
"A monthly salary of 80,000 yuan, six insurances and two funds, a salary of 15 yuan, and a year-end plan."
"..."
Jiang Jiaxing was shocked. Even if he had no idea, he knew that ordinary secretaries could not earn such a high salary.
"In addition, Mr. Zhou also assigned me a car, a Porsche Panamera Executive Extended Edition, priced at 1.45 million. Although the car is in the name of the company, I usually drive it, and I choose the color and interior."
Before Jiang Jiaxing could say anything, Jiang Qingkui continued calmly, "The clothes I\'m wearing now are also the work clothes that come with the job. They are Hermès. The price of this outfit is about 130,000. Mr. Zhou has provided me with such clothes in total." Five sets."
"This bag is also worth 160,000 yuan."
"There are also two sets of dresses. I don\'t know the specific price, but they start at least 300,000."
After Jiang Qingkui finished speaking, there was no sound in the room again.
Lao Jiang opened his mouth several times, but in the end nothing came out.
As for Zhao Guihua, after silently calculating in her mind, she found that her son had spent three to four million on Jiang Qingkui alone, not counting salary...
She felt a little pain at first, but soon she thought of something, and blurted out in confusion:
"Qing Kui, are you and my Zhou Wang in love?"
The angle of Zhao Guihua\'s interpretation was obviously something that no one in the room had thought of, and Zhou Dajun couldn\'t help but be startled after realizing it.
Don\'t tell me, it sounds very wrong!
This is not the treatment of normal employees...
No matter how capable Jiang Qingkui is, it is impossible to spend so much money on her as soon as she joins the job. Where is this?
Jiang Jiaxing\'s expression changed again, but this time his eyes were much more complicated, and Zhou Wang felt numb when he looked at him.
"We didn\'t..."
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhao, I do have a good impression of Zhou Wang."
However, just as Zhou Wang explained, Jiang Qingkui interrupted him with a faint smile and said these words calmly.
Even Zhou Wang was confused now. He looked at Jiang Qingkui in confusion, and for a moment he couldn\'t figure out why she said that...
However, Jiang Qingkui didn\'t look at him, and just said to herself: "So it\'s not just because of the salary, this is also a reason why I am willing to become his secretary..."
"Ah this..."
Zhao Guihua originally asked tentatively, but she didn\'t expect Jiang Qingkui to be so generous and admit that she did have a crush on Zhou Wang, but Zhao Guihua couldn\'t help it.
Excitement, joy, anxiety and many other emotions passed through Zhao Guihua\'s face, and the way she looked at Jiang Qingkui was different for a while.
Looking at Uncle Jiang\'s stunned expression, Zhou Wang also understood why Jiang Qingkui said this.
Even if there are thousands of reasons, it is difficult to make Jiang Jiaxing accept this matter without any grudges.
His daughter, whom he was most proud of, and his greatest asset in pretentiousness in his life, suddenly became the secretary of the "ordinary" boy next door, which would be unacceptable to anyone...
But Jiang Qingkui added an ambiguous reason, and it was completely different.
What made Zhou Wang a little touched was that Jiang Qingkui\'s words were "she has a crush on him" but did not mention Zhou Wang\'s attitude. This was tantamount to "self-defeating"...
Ordinary girls probably wouldn\'t do this kind of "price reduction" thing...
She still works hard.
But also very smart.
Sure enough, when Lao Jiang heard what Jiang Qingkui said, coupled with the shocking treatment, he could no longer say anything to reprimand him for a while.
But maybe it was Lao Zhou\'s uncontrollable mouth that made him feel a little embarrassed all the time, so he snorted coldly, stood up and walked towards the balcony.
"No, I have to call your mother again and ask her to come back quickly... My daughter has been abducted and she is still playing outside!"
Jiang Qingkui smiled helplessly at Zhou Wang, signaled and got up and followed.
"dad..."
The balcony door was closed, and the sound of father and daughter talking was also cut off. Only then did Zhou Wang look at his parents with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, I brought you a lot of things when I came back this time, but most of them were picked by Qing Kui. Let me tell you briefly..."
As he spoke, Zhou Wang began to open the gifts all over the floor.
In fact, if there hadn\'t been the Mercedes-Benz Big G, the gifts alone that filled half of the living room would have shocked the old couple for a long time.
But now that there is a series of foreshadowing, it is much easier for them to accept these expensive gifts.
Although, the two of them would still be surprised from time to time.
Forget about a whole box of Zodiac Maotai and a large box of Dachongjiu cigarettes, there are more that they can\'t imagine...
"Son, how much does this bracelet cost?"
Zhao Guihua was trying it on with admiration, when she suddenly heard the price and her expression changed.
"Twenty-eight thousand, here, isn\'t the invoice also in the box?"
Zhou Wang repeated it helplessly, and then said half-jokingly, "Mom, you are not allowed to sell it secretly. We have money now, and we don\'t want to do this anymore..."
"Brat, in your eyes, is mom such a philistine?"
Zhao Guihua\'s face turned red and she couldn\'t help but laugh and curse.
Chow Tai Fook\'s jade bracelet was a special gift for his mother. As for Zhou Wang\'s father, Jiang Qingkui spent a lot of effort to find a few ancient coins based on Zhou Wang\'s ideas. The "Qianlong Tong Bao" was in excellent condition. The average price reached 40,000 yuan.
Coin collecting is one of Zhou Dajun\'s few hobbies, and the few coins Zhou Wang brought back directly became the ones that can be kept at the bottom of his display cabinet.
There are also many miscellaneous conventional gifts.
For example, a small box of Mengniu Jue 6 special milk at 188, only 20 pieces per pound of "Russian No. 8" cherries with an average price of 10 yuan a piece, and no more than 15 pieces of imported ECHIRE cookies costing 1,000 yuan. cookies...
Because Zhou Wang\'s mother loves sweets, she spent tens of thousands on these snacks and drinks.
Apart from tobacco, alcohol and food, Zhou Wang bought few daily necessities, and the only gift of clothes and hats he brought to his mother was a Hermès silk scarf.
Jiang Qingkui originally proposed buying a sweeping robot or something like that, but Zhou Wang rejected it because he had already thought about how to handle this aspect more appropriately...
Zhao Guihua, who was dazzled after looking at all the gifts, finally couldn\'t help but asked with some worry:
"Son, how much does it cost to buy these things? In fact, we don\'t need such good things. As long as you have the intention..."
"Dad, Mom, where are you?"
Zhou Wang smiled, "You don\'t think these gifts are all, do you?"
On the side, Zhou Dajun, who was observing the coins, put down the magnifying glass in his hand and looked over in surprise.
Does your son mean that he has prepared other things for them?
