Chapter 1419 Everyone vying to please He Chen!

"I think it works!"

When the second son of the Kang family saw that his wife had finally come to her senses and was on the same page as him, he immediately chimed in: "Making money in the stock market is all other people's money. It doesn't matter who makes the money, there's potential in it."

The reason why the person who jumped off the building and Ah Zu failed was because they were too familiar with each other.

You're dreaming if you think someone will recommend a dark horse stock and let you make a fortune just by talking nonsense!

Even family members would avoid such a thing.

To avoid being ungrateful when you win and complaining when you lose.

Therefore, I need to make him feel my attitude and sincerity before he'll even consider getting on the bus with me.

If He Chen were a neighbor, he could use old stories from the Xianfeng era to build a relationship and shamelessly try to get on the bus quickly.

When he asked his childhood friends and classmates to take care of him, he would bring up things like having his classmates copy his homework when he was in school. His father, Grandpa Kang, could even use the example of borrowing 10 yuan from decades ago as a favor.

Unfortunately, none of this worked for He Chen, who came from out of town.

"Second Brother is indeed a businessman; he thinks things through very well!" The young woman, Hu Xingzi, smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Firstly, she is from Shanghai and works in insurance, so she just wants to make money.

Secondly, by establishing this tone for the Kang family's treatment of He Chen, no one would say anything if she interacted with He Chen enthusiastically afterward.

She wasn't just doing it for herself, but also for her husband's entire family!

It's not that she wants to do anything right now, but such a legitimate opportunity to get to know someone is always good, and it gives people endless hope and fantasies.

"How about tomorrow night? My mom and I will cook for him!" The second daughter-in-law of the Kang family couldn't wait to invite He Chen over to inquire about the dark horse stock.

The couple had some savings from their business and wanted to make more money, so they naturally put some of their savings into the stock market.

He was so happy when he made a little money, 3000 yuan, that even the stingy rooster bought a roast chicken to add to the family meal.

Although the roast chicken was too small and the family complained that it looked like a quail, it showed how happy they were after making money in the stock market.

Seeing He Chen, who is so young and has so much free time, yet manages to make a fortune through stock trading, one can only imagine how much anticipation there is.

"Don't rush!" Although the second son of the Kang family was tempted, he still stopped his mother who had just nodded in agreement: "You think you can get rich just by treating someone to a meal? It's not that simple! No matter how good your and your mother's cooking skills are, can they compare to the skills of a chef in a five-star hotel?"
They don't need this food at all!
I think this matter will still fall to Dad.

Then he looked at the old man of the Kang family and said, "Dad, you should hurry up and train He Chen's girlfriend in cooking. No matter how good she is, she should at least be able to cook a table of dishes. Then you can take the opportunity to invite He Chen over to taste his girlfriend's cooking."

Back then, everything was negotiable!
By the way, Dad, you need to hurry. Who knows how long he'll stay here? We can't ask him at the last minute.

"If we ask him, he'll be gone the next day, and the dark horse stock might have changed again. We don't know, and we might end up trapped."

"Then you should really try to persuade Dad, because he's only teaching history now, and hasn't even gotten to the theory yet. Judging by this, it looks like he won't be able to actually learn to cook until the end of the year," the young woman Hu Xingzi couldn't help but complain.

She was also a student, and she didn't want to learn this in the first place, let alone start cooking. Instead, she kept rambling on about history, which made people drowsy and wasted their time.

Fortunately, the old man wasn't Dr. Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Otherwise, if Sheldon were to be the teacher, he could start from the Big Bang and start all over again every time he was interrupted... "Don't worry, I'll start teaching the method tomorrow!" The old man of the Kang family declared directly without waiting for his second son and daughter-in-law to urge him.

That was indeed his plan before.

After all, he felt that Cantonese cuisine was not only delicious, but also had a rich cultural heritage, making it a fourth flavor in addition to color, aroma, and taste.

But now he certainly can't let his son's fortune slip away.

The obsession with making money here transcends gender and age.

Although he has retired and is enjoying his retirement, he can still work hard in his prime if given the opportunity to make money.

Furthermore, this time it's different from the original story where he simply taught his daughter-in-law Cantonese cuisine. He Chen brought all the ingredients. If he only taught the theory and not the practical skills, then every day he delayed would mean less food wasted, and he would be the one who suffered the loss.

So even though he was a little embarrassed by his third daughter-in-law's veiled criticism, he still firmly expressed his stance.

"Alright! Whether we can make it big this time depends on Dad. Try to invite He Chen to our house within a week!" Kang's second son made the decision.

Kang's eldest sister-in-law watched coldly from the sidelines, her feelings complicated.

She was a migrant worker from the Central Plains who married the eldest son of the Kang family, who was over forty and old enough to be her father, at the tender age of twenty. It wasn't that she didn't like men her own age, but rather that it was very difficult for a migrant worker from another place to settle down here.

Given the age difference, she was at a disadvantage, yet the Kang family looked down on her in every way. Knowing that she was dating the eldest son of the Kang family, they specially invited her to their home. Just when she thought they were inviting her to formally accept them, it turned out that the second daughter-in-law of the Kang family, a local woman, introduced her to an old man in his sixties from next door, thinking that she was the most suitable.

Humiliated like this, she broke up with the eldest son of the Kang family and packed her things to leave this absurd place and go home, but was eventually stopped.

The reason was that the fourth son of the Kang family suggested to his eldest brother that he ask a fortune teller to act out a story, pointing out that the eldest son of the Kang family might miss this marriage opportunity and be lonely for the rest of his life.

Even the old man of the Kang family thought it was acceptable, but the mother felt sorry for her son and couldn't bear to see her honest eldest son 'drowning his sorrows in alcohol,' so she pulled the old man along to apologize and stop her.

She didn't ask for much. Seeing that the eldest son of the Kang family was honest and kind, the old couple apologized and asked her to stay. In the end, she stayed and married the eldest son of the Kang family, becoming their eldest daughter-in-law.

Even so, she still felt uncomfortable at times.

Not to mention her, even Third Sister-in-law Hu Xingzi couldn't escape this.

Hu Xingzi, however, did not share her plight and even discriminated against her. Compared to her, a true country bumpkin, Hu Xingzi said that she and her local sister-in-law were only different in their lifestyles, but were essentially respectable people from a big city.

She had never seen the entire Kang family work together to please a 'outsider from Beijing,' especially a young man.

Although she remained silent and observed coldly, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Sure enough, there are no outsiders or locals, only the rich and the poor.

So when she heard her third sister-in-law, Hu Xingzi, suggest that not only should there be Cantonese dishes made by He Chen's girlfriend, but also Shanghai dishes made by herself for He Chen, who had studied at university in Shanghai, she couldn't help but agree to make some Central Plains dishes from her hometown for He Chen to try.

She wants to make money too!

These words drew everyone's attention to her, especially the young woman Hu Xingzi, whose expressive face and eyes were always exceptionally rich, making her feel embarrassed.
