Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 147 "I have a crush on Zhou Wang"

"dad!"

Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui shouted at the same time.

But Jiang Qingkui looked a little helpless...

Dad, I would be embarrassed too if you opened your mouth so wide, okay?
The two heads on the balcony were stunned for a while and then shrank back together. After a while, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor. However, it was not only Zhou Dajun and Jiang Jiaxing who came down the stairs, but also Zhao Guihua who ran down with Wen Xun.

But she was still holding an unpeeled potato in her hand, which made Zhou Wang feel a little amused.

“What a big Benz!”

The most surprised person was Jiang Jiaxing. He didn't even bother to talk to his daughter. He just walked straight to the Mercedes-Benz G63 and looked it up and down.

Most people of their generation cannot recognize so many fancy models. Even a model like the E300 is considered a Mercedes-Benz in their eyes, not to mention the G63 with a more domineering appearance.

"Wangwang, is this your car?"

Zhao Guihua didn't know much about cars, but she knew that this car must be very expensive. For a moment, she didn't dare to get close to it, but just asked in a daze.

When Zhou Wang heard his mother calling him by his nickname, although Jiang Qingkui and Miao Ying did not show any abnormality, he still felt a little embarrassed.

If he had any childhood trauma, this slightly embarrassing nickname must be one of them.

Because it sounds the same as “汪汪” (wangwang), his childhood playmates always called him “狗子” (gouzi), and that’s how he got the nickname “狗哥” (gouge).

After growing up, under the guidance of Zhou Dajun, my mother rarely calls him by his nickname. I guess she has forgotten it now.

"It's mine. I bought it about ten days ago."

Facing the puzzled looks from the five people at the same time, Zhou Wang smiled and nodded.

Hey, why are there five people?
Zhou Wang was stunned, and then he noticed that the aunt of the family on the first floor had stood beside him with her grandson, watching the excitement...

"Zhou Wang, this...this car of yours is worth about two million, right?"

Jiang Jiaxing remembered that he had seen a car of similar design in the Mercedes-Benz showroom yesterday, but with a seven-digit price tag he could only glance at it from a distance.

His family is fairly well off in Jingcheng, and he can afford to buy the car even if he empties his savings, but who is crazy enough to spend all his fortune on a car?
"Uncle Jiang, the two million you mentioned should be the Mercedes-Benz G500. This is the Mercedes-Benz G63, which costs about 350 million yuan."

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 was still in shock for a while...

"Wangwang, where did you get so much money..."

Soon, Zhao Guihua, who was frightened, asked quickly.

Her expression was confused yet also a little excited. It wasn't that she suspected her son of doing anything illegal. In fact, even if Zhou Wang really made a lot of money illegally, the first thing that would come to her mind as a parent would be to cover it up for her son...

Obviously, this is what Zhou Dajun thought.

He stopped Zhao Guihua from asking and waved his hand, saying, "Go up first and talk about it when you get home!"

"Yes, yes, go home first!"

Zhao Guihua also quickly agreed at this time.

Jiang Jiaxing said nothing, but he obviously agreed. It was only then that he noticed that Jiang Qingkui was actually wearing a professional suit. The change in her temperament could only be described as earth-shaking.

But at this time, Zhou Wang had already asked Old Zhou and his wife to move things together. He would not just stand there and watch, after all, his daughter was also helping...

Jiang Jiaxing had a lot of doubts in his mind, but he could only hold them back for the time being.

The six of them worked together to move the things in the trunk upstairs. Because there were too many things, they had to run two trips to get them all.

Interestingly, the aunt on the first floor’s grandson who was in junior high school also helped out under the aunt’s instructions.

This scene made both Lao Zhou and Lao Jiang extremely disgusted.

Just now, when the two of them parked their car, they were scolded by this old lady and had to move. But when Zhou Wang parked his car, the old lady not only said nothing, but also smiled and ordered her grandson to help...

After moving all the things, Zhou Wang reached out to Jiang Qingkui, and Jiang Qingkui took out two hundred yuan from his bag. Zhou Wang took it and stuffed it directly into the child's hand.

“I wish you academic success!”

"Oh, no, no..."

The aunt symbolically refused three times, but finally pretended to be helpless and let the child take it.

"Thank you brother!"

The child thanked her politely and followed the smiling old lady downstairs.

……

A few minutes later, in Zhou Wang's living room.

Everyone sat down except Miao Ying who stood a little further away.

"Hey, girl, sit down too!"

Zhao Guihua didn't know Miao Ying's identity yet. She just 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 helplessly.

Zhou Wang knew that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion. While he appreciated her in his heart, he did not pretend to force her to come over. He just smiled and said, "Cherry, please make yourself at home. You can also sit in the dining room."

Miao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and walked towards the dining room on her own.

"She is..."

"Mom, don't worry about her for now. I'll explain it to you later."

Zhou Wang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about them one by one."

At this time, Comrade Lao Zhou had regained his composure after taking a deep breath. Hearing this, he spoke first: "Zhou Wang, tell me, what's going on?"

"Dad, Mom, take a look at this first."

Zhou Wang took out a lottery ticket with "Redeemed" written on it from his bag and pushed it from the coffee table in front of his parents.

People of Lao Zhou's generation have basically experienced the lottery marketing boom. For a few years, Zhou Dajun could even be considered a loyal customer of the lottery shop. Therefore, at just one glance, Zhou Dajun recognized that it was a Lotto ticket.

The first prize lottery ticket does not specify the winning amount, so at first glance you can't tell anything, but because of the Mercedes-Benz G63, the three older generations present instantly realized something.

"You won first prize?"

Old Zhou asked immediately, his eyes fixed on his son.

"To be precise, it's an additional first prize, 13 million after tax."

Zhou Wang smiled and said.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the parents still took a deep breath together, and Jiang Jiaxing was also a little dazed.

More than ten million!

Or cash.

This is an unimaginable amount of money for any ordinary person.

"Wangwang, this...when did this happen?"

Zhao Guihua responded and said, "Did you go to receive the award by yourself? Why didn't you tell us... How much money do you have left now? Even if you have 10 million, you can't spend 3 million to buy a car. You have to buy a house first..."

Zhao Guihua spoke a little anxiously and incoherently, and was obviously shocked by the huge amount of money.

In his mother's subconscious mind, as long as Zhou Wang has not married, he is still a "child", but he won such a big prize quietly without telling his parents. Zhao Guihua was naturally a little anxious and worried, fearing that Zhou Wang would spend money indiscriminately.

"it's been a while."

The date and numbers on the preserved lottery ticket had become somewhat blurred due to Zhou Wang's deliberate wear and tear, so Zhou Wang spoke before his father did.

"Dad, Mom, this lottery ticket is just the beginning. Don't be impatient. Just listen to me first."

Hearing this, Zhou Dajun, who was about to say something, took a deep breath, grabbed Zhao Guihua's arm, and motioned her to calm down first.

"After I won the prize, I thought about whether I should tell you right away, but I knew very well that if I told you, you would most likely ask me to save the money, or use it 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... for investment."

"Investment?" Jiang Jiaxing couldn't help but interrupt at this time, "Zhou Wang, investment is a risky thing, and there are many scams in the market now, you must be careful to distinguish and not make rash decisions!"

Jiang Jiaxing said it tactfully, but it was obvious that he was worried that Zhou Wang would not be able to control such a huge fortune and might even suffer losses.

Zhao Guihua also showed an uneasy look on her face. Zhou Dajun was fine, but his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

Because he himself was the one who suffered a great loss in the so-called "investment"...

“I can only say that the results so far are pretty good.”

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "I have invested in some short-term finance and some real industries. So far, my assets have increased more than tenfold."

"ten times?"

Jiang Jiaxing was stunned. "What do you mean by ten times..."

"Dad, ten times ten million."

Jiang Qingkui said softly at this time: "I can help Zhou Wang prove that his current fixed assets and liquid cash have reached a level counted in billions."

Among the people present, only Jiang Qingkui knew that Zhou Wang won the lottery after he became rich, but she would not delve into Zhou Wang's secrets, so no matter how Zhou Wang explained to his parents, she would just cooperate.

"Well, Qingkui is right." Zhou Wang also laughed at this time, "Dad, Mom, let's be frank, your son is now a billionaire!"

The living room fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua were both a little dazed, their heads feeling dizzy from the rapid rush of blood.

Although ten million is a lot, it is within the range 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 it means.

To put it simply, this is the wealth that an ordinary person would have to accumulate for twenty lifetimes if they only earned money but did not spend it.

If you make 10 yuan a year, you have to start working in the second year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty to make 2024 million yuan in ...

Even Zhao Guihua, who had just wanted to help her son manage money, was now at a loss.

Because even if she was really given 100 million, she wouldn't know how to spend it, and she might even have trouble eating or sleeping because of the fear...

Zhou Wang had thought about showing off his wealth to his parents slowly before. However, given Tongzi's ability, the speed at which his wealth expanded was bound to be difficult to measure with common sense. It would be better to make a high profile from the beginning. After his parents digested this fact, they would be more likely to accept it later...

As a bystander, Jiang Jiaxing was the first to react, but he immediately became suspicious.

"Qingkui, how do you know so much?"

Jiang Jiaxing had been full of doubts about Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui going home together. Now seeing his daughter's confident look, as if she knew Zhou Wang's situation very well, Jiang Jiaxing's heart skipped a beat.

He had only guessed before that Zhou Wang was pursuing his daughter, but now it seems that he might have succeeded... Thinking about this, Jiang Jiaxing felt more and more that something was wrong.

He instantly remembered some details that he had missed because of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class incident.

For example, the tea on the table was brewed by Jiang Qingkui, and his daughter was not sitting next to him at this moment, but was closer to Zhou Wang, with her knees even pointing towards the Zhou family kid...

Jiang Jiaxing couldn't sit still anymore.

He didn't care whether Zhou Wang was a billionaire or not, and immediately stood up, "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 didn't move. She just sat there and shook her head and said, "Dad, just say it here. I know what you want to ask. It's about the relationship between me and Zhou Wang, right?"

When Jiang Jiaxing nodded, Jiang Qingkui said calmly, "I am his secretary now."

If Zhou Wang's words that he had earned 100 million yuan just now only made the living room silent, now you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Wang's parents opened their mouths wide, especially Zhou Dajun, whose reaction at this moment was even more exaggerated than Zhao Guihua's...

What did he hear?
Jiang Qingkui is his son's secretary?!
Am I, Old Zhou, dreaming?

From a certain perspective, the shock this incident brought to Zhou Dajun and his wife was even no less than their own son suddenly becoming a billionaire...

That was Jiang Qingkui who grew up in their eyes!
It would have been fine if he was just a good student, but he was also tall and beautiful. Among the employees in the state-owned enterprise compound back then, who among them had not been jealous of Jiang Jiaxing behind his back?

I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I must have accumulated to give birth to a daughter like this...

Especially after Jiang Qingkui became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the jealousy and envy of everyone in the compound towards Jiang Jiaxing reached its peak.

Even now, after many years, there are still many people who don't want to see Jiang Jiaxing's face... The bastard always brings up his daughter's affairs over and over again to show off, and they 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-natured guy and never showed it.

But at this moment, when he suddenly heard that Jiang Qingkui had become his son's secretary and his son had become Jiang Qingkui's leader, Zhou Dajun felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him in the hottest days of summer, and his whole body felt refreshed!
Originally he was counting on 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, Zhou was happy, but Chiang felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

His expression was distorted for a moment, and he seemed to hold back his outburst. In the end, he just gritted his teeth and said, "Qingkui, you are not kidding your dad, are you?"

"I'm serious, Dad, the contract has been signed..."

"You... you have so many choices, why don't you do something else?"

The last bit of fantasy was shattered. Jiang Jiaxing said in disbelief, "You gave up a million-dollar annual salary and shares worth millions, and you went to be the secretary of the Zhou family kid?"

Originally, he and Zhou Dajun both came from state-owned enterprises, and their understanding of secretaries was nothing more than serving tea and water, welcoming and seeing off guests. If it was a female secretary...

Considering that she was his own daughter after all, Jiang Jiaxing held back any more unpleasant words he might have said.

Before Jiang Qingkui could speak again, Zhou Wang spoke first.

"Uncle Jiang, you misunderstood. Strictly speaking, Sister Qingkui is not completely my secretary. It's just that she takes care of me more during normal work, so she has assumed some of the responsibilities in this regard."

Jiang Jiaxing, who was angry, didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Wang, but when he heard what Zhou Wang said, he was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that, in name only she is a secretary, but in reality, you can think of Sister Qingkui as one of my business partners. Usually, her job is to help me manage my businesses."

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "In addition to the basic work benefits, she will also receive equity incentives in the future. When the industry grows in the future, she will also need to serve as a senior management position in the group, so her daily work is not what you imagine..."

After Zhou Wang's explanation, although Jiang Jiaxing still had an unchanging expression, his facial expression had obviously eased a lot.

Jiang Qingkui glanced at Zhou Wang silently, with a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Because she knew that from Zhou Wang's perspective, there was no need for him to say these words. She was also fully prepared for her parents' possible criticism and confusion...

To put it bluntly, even if this was Zhou Wang's deliberate attempt to win people's hearts, so what? At least she was really moved...

"Even so, it won't sound good if the secretary tells others about it. Qingkui is a girl, how can she get married in the future..."

"Dad, it's a different era now. Stop holding on to those old-fashioned ideas."

Zhou Wang had no way to respond to this, so Jiang Qingkui said at the right time, "Besides, Mr. Zhou didn't treat me unfairly. To be fair, the treatment he gave me was even better than those companies and law firms that wanted to hire me."

"Oh, a million-dollar annual salary?"

"Monthly salary of 15, six insurances and two funds, days salary, and year-end bonus."

"..."

Jiang Jiaxing was shocked. Even though he had no idea, he knew that an ordinary secretary could not have such a high salary.

"In addition, Mr. Zhou also gave me a car, a Porsche Panamera executive extended model, which cost 145 million yuan. Although the car is registered in the company's name, 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 work clothes given to me when I started working. They're from Hermès. The price of this set is about 130,000 yuan. Mr. Zhou gave me five sets of clothes like this in total."

"This bag is also 160,000."

"In addition, there are two dresses. I don't know the exact price, but they start at at least three hundred thousand."

After Jiang Qingkui finished speaking in one breath, the room fell silent again.

Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth several times, but in the end he said nothing.

As for Zhao Guihua, she calculated silently in her mind and found that her son had spent three or four million on Jiang Qingkui alone, not counting his salary...

She felt a little painful at first, but soon she thought of something and blurted out suspiciously:

"Qingkui, are you and my Zhou Wang dating?"

The angle from which Zhao Guihua interpreted it was obviously something that no one in the room had expected. Zhou Dajun was also stunned after he realized it.

You know what, this sounds very wrong!
This is not the treatment of normal employees...

No matter how capable Jiang Qingkui is, it is impossible for him to spend so much money on her as soon as she starts working. This is just the beginning!
Jiang Jiaxing's expression changed again, but this time his eyes were much more complicated, and Zhou Wang's scalp tingled when he looked at him.

"we do not have……"

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhao, I do have a crush on Zhou Wang."

However, just as Zhou Wang opened his mouth to explain, Jiang Qingkui interrupted him with a faint smile and said this sentence calmly.

Even Zhou Wang was confused. 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, but just said to himself: "So it's not just because of the salary, this is also a reason why I am willing to be his secretary..."

"Ah this..."

Zhao Guihua had originally asked tentatively, but she had not expected Jiang Qingkui to be so generous in admitting that he did have feelings for Zhou Wang, which had made it difficult for Zhao Guihua to cope with the situation.

Excitement, joy, nervousness and many other emotions flashed across Zhao Guihua's face, and for a moment, the way she looked at Jiang Qingkui was different.

Looking at Uncle Jiang's stunned expression, Zhou Wang also understood why Jiang Qingkui said that.

Even if there are thousands of reasons, it is still difficult for Jiang Jiaxing to accept this matter without any hesitation.

His daughter, who was his greatest pride and his biggest asset in life, suddenly became the secretary of the "ordinary" boy next door. Anyone would find it hard to accept this...

But when Jiang Qingkui added an ambiguous reason, it became completely different.

What touched Zhou Wang was that Jiang Qingkui said "she had a good impression of him" but did not mention Zhou Wang's attitude, which was a kind of "self-pollution"...

I'm afraid that ordinary girls would not do such "cheap" things...

She still works very hard.

But also very smart.

Sure enough, when Chiang Kai-shek heard what Jiang Qingkui said, coupled with the shocking treatment he received, he could no longer say anything reprimanding for a moment.

But maybe it was because Lao Zhou couldn't suppress the smile, which made him feel a little embarrassed, so he snorted coldly, suddenly stood up and walked towards the balcony.

"No, I have to call your mother again and ask her to come back quickly... My daughter is about to be kidnapped while she is still playing outside!"

Jiang Qingkui smiled helplessly at Zhou Wang, gestured, then stood up and followed him.

"dad……"

The balcony door was closed, and the sound of the father and daughter's conversation was blocked. Only then did Zhou Wang look at his parents with a smile.

"Dad, Mom, I brought you a lot of things this time, but most of them were picked by Qingkui. Let me tell you about them briefly..."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang began to open the gifts that were scattered all over the floor.

In fact, if the Mercedes-Benz G-Class hadn’t happened, the gifts that filled half of the living room would have been enough to shock the old couple for a long time.

But now with a series of preparations, they are much more willing to accept these expensive gifts.

Although, the two of them would still be startled from time to time.

A whole box of Chinese Zodiac Maotai and a large box of Da Chongjiu cigarettes would be fine, but there are also many more things that they can't even imagine...

"Son, how much do you think this bracelet costs?"

Zhao Guihua was trying it on with great interest, but her face suddenly changed when she heard the price.

"One hundred and twenty-eight thousand. Here, isn't the invoice also in the box?"

Zhou Wang repeated it again helplessly, and then half-jokingly said, "Mom, you can't sell it secretly. We have money now, and we can't do these things anymore..."

"You little brat, in your eyes, is mom such a philistine?"

Zhao Guihua's old face turned red and she couldn't help but laugh and scold.

The Chow Tai Fook 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" coins were of excellent quality and the average price of one coin was 40,000 yuan.

Coin collecting is one of Zhou Dajun's few hobbies, and the coins Zhou Wang brought back directly became the treasures in his display cabinet.

In addition, there are many miscellaneous conventional gifts.

比如188一小盒的蒙牛奶爵6特乳牛奶，一斤只有20颗均价达到了10块一颗的“俄罗斯八号”车厘子，1000块加起来不超过15片的ECHIRE进口曲奇饼干……

Because Zhou Wang's mother loves sweets, she spent tens of thousands on these snacks and drinks alone.

Apart from cigarettes, alcohol and food, Zhou Wang basically did not buy any daily necessities. The only clothing gift he brought was an Hermès scarf for his mother.

Jiang Qingkui had originally suggested buying a robot vacuum cleaner, but Zhou Wang rejected the idea because he had already figured out how to deal with it more appropriately...

Zhao Guihua, who had finished looking at all the gifts in a daze, finally couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"Son, how much does it cost to buy these things? In fact, we don't need such good things. It's enough if you have the intention..."

"Dad, Mom, this is just the beginning!"

Zhou Wang smiled, "You don't think these gifts are all there are, do you?"

Zhou Dajun, who was observing the coins on the side, put down the magnifying glass in his hand and looked over in surprise when he heard the words.

Does my son mean that he has prepared something else for them?
