Chapter 122 Young people are unreliable
Chapter 122 Young people are unreliable
The Mercedes-Benz had privacy film on, so Qin Xiaobo and his family of three didn't notice that Chen Cheng was also sitting in the back seat.
Sitting in the car, Chen Cheng saw their true colors clearly.
For Chen Cheng, the situation was crystal clear: the Qin family wanted Lu Youyou to be their daughter-in-law and was desperately creating opportunities for their son. Lu Zhixing probably wanted something from the Qin family, but he was pretending not to know it.
It was poor Lu Youyou, who was clearly unwilling even when she was just standing there as a prop.
At this moment, Qin Xiaobo was somewhat taken aback. When he saw Chen Cheng, two questions arose in his mind.
First, who is this person?
Second, if he sits here, how can I get close to Lu Youyou along the way?
With doubts in his heart, he stopped moving.
At this moment, Lu Youyou had already said goodbye to Qin Xiaobo's parents and got into the car.
It was only then that Qin Xiaobo's parents discovered there was another person inside.
Seeing that the other person was a young boy, both of them were a little wary. Qin Xiaobo's father couldn't help but ask Lu Zhixing, "Old Lu, who is this inside?"
Lu Zhixing explained, "Youyou is a high school classmate who couldn't buy a ticket, so I brought it back for her."
Qin Xiaobo's father nodded slightly, also feeling disappointed for his son.
There was nothing that could be done about it, since the other person was already in the car.
Qin Xiaobo was even more frustrated. He stood up to look at his parents, then looked down at Chen Cheng and Lu Youyou in the car. He was so angry that he wished he could just stay put.
But then he thought about it again. His father told him to seize this opportunity. The Lu family needed their help, so it was the perfect time to get closer to Lu Youyou.
So all he could do was wave to his parents and say, "Mom and Dad, I'm getting on the bus. You can go home now."
"it is good."
The couple, feeling resentful, waved to him as well.
Qin Xiaobo's father then looked at Lu Zhixing and said, "Old Lu, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"There's no need for us to be so polite," Lu Zhixing said with a smile, and the driver then drove away from the villa area.
After the car drove away, Qin Xiaobo's mother said with a hint of schadenfreude, "I really didn't expect Lu Zhixing to drive an S600 to borrow money from you. If he didn't have the means, why would he buy such a nice car? He's just showing off. If he hadn't bought such an expensive car, he might be doing a better job now."
Qin Xiaobo's father smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You can't say that. Lu Zhixing is very smart. He bought this car to get this project. The car deserves half the credit for winning this project. The reason why they were willing to let him be a supplier is because they saw that he drove such a nice car, so they must have the ability to provide upfront funding. However, Lu Zhixing himself probably didn't expect that the upfront funding period would be so long and the amount of funds would be so large."
Qin Xiaobo's mother asked, "So, are you planning to help him this time?"
"Help him my ass."
Qin Xiaobo's father curled his lip and sneered, "If he can get over this hurdle, that business can earn hundreds of millions a year. Am I out of my mind to help him? I'd rather he lose everything."
Qin Xiaobo's mother quickly asked, "What do you think about Xiaobo and Youyou's relationship?"
Qin Xiaobo's father chuckled, "Isn't this creating an opportunity for Xiaobo? I'm also keeping Lu Zhixing hanging on. Let's see if his family will cooperate. If Xiaobo really has a chance, I'll lend a hand. If Xiaobo doesn't have a chance, I'll just wait and see Lu Zhixing make a fool of himself!"
……
As Lu Zhixing drove out of his Mercedes-Benz S600, Qin Xiaobo, who was inside, extended a hand to Chen Cheng and said in a friendly manner, "Hello, my name is Qin Xiaobo, may I ask your name?"
Chen Cheng shook hands with him: "My name is Chen Cheng."
Qin Xiaobo asked him, "Are you and Youyou high school classmates?"
"Correct."
Qin Xiaobo then asked, "So where are you studying now?"
"Jiangcheng University."
Upon hearing that Chen Cheng was a student at Jiangcheng University, Qin Xiaobo's face flashed with displeasure.
The two best universities in Jiangcheng are Huazhong University of Science and Technology, where Lu Youyou is, and Jiangcheng University, where Chen Cheng is.
His academic performance wasn't that good; he was admitted to Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology.
When Chen Cheng saw that he didn't speak after asking his question, he guessed that his school must be inferior to his own, so he deliberately asked out of curiosity, "Which school do you go to?"
Qin Xiaobo touched his nose: "I'm at the University of Science and Technology."
"Oh."
Chen Cheng nodded. He went to the same school as Zhao Siyan, a 211 university, but not a 985 university, so its prestige was indeed much lower.
So he smiled and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, the University of Science and Technology is not bad either."
"I……"
Qin Xiaobo felt depressed. "I wasn't discouraged at all. When I got into the university of science and technology, my parents were very happy, and I was extremely satisfied. I had exceeded my expectations."
However, he also knew that 985 universities were indeed better than 211 universities, and if it came down to comparing schools, he was inferior to Chen Cheng.
So he decided to bypass Chen Cheng and chat with Lu Youyou for a bit. He leaned forward, turned to Lu Youyou, and asked with a smile, "Youyou, what are your plans for the seven-day holiday? Want to go out and have some fun together?"
Without even thinking, Lu Youyou shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to go anywhere these next few days."
Undeterred, Qin Xiaobo asked her, "Want to go to People's Square? I heard there are activities for National Day, and it's quite lively."
Lu Youyou still refused: "I really don't want to go anywhere."
Qin Xiaobo was somewhat disgruntled. Lu Youyou had always been lukewarm towards him. Ever since she came to Jiangcheng to study, he had called and texted her several times, but she always made various excuses to decline.
But it was one thing to refuse before, but now that her father needs our family's help and is counting on him to lend a hand, it's a bit too unreasonable for her not to give us face at this time.
So he deliberately asked Lu Zhixing, "Uncle Lu, would it be convenient for you to visit me during the holidays? I'd like to go to my house to see Aunt Xiao."
"sure."
Lu Zhixing seemed to be thinking about something. After he came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, come home with your uncle for lunch. You can have lunch at home."
Qin Xiaobo was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Sure, Uncle Lu, won't it be too much of a bother?"
"No, no."
Lu Zhixing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's perfect that your parents aren't around when you go back to Fancheng. Come over for dinner anytime." Lu Youyou was furious. She disliked Qin Xiaobo intensely, always feeling that he had ill intentions towards her and always pretended to be harmless. So she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Unexpectedly, his father invited him to come over for dinner whenever he wanted. Was he not allowed to stay at home properly during the holiday?
Thinking of this, she asked Chen Cheng, "Chen Cheng, when are you planning to come back?"
Number four.
"So early?"
Lu Youyou asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to stay home until the 7th? I was thinking we'd both come back together."
Chen Cheng said, "I have something to do and need to come back early. I can't be late for too long."
Lu Youyou then said directly to Lu Zhixing, "Dad, I'll also be back on the 4th."
Lu Zhixing was so angry that his stomach hurt.
He had been wondering why his daughter wouldn't even glance at Qin Xiaobo, despite his good looks and demeanor, and why she was willing to lend Chen Cheng a million yuan, even though Qin Xiaobo was not bad-looking.
What makes this kid so amazing?
But then my daughter pulled this stunt: she's coming back with this guy on the 4th? There are only three days left of the holiday, what are you two planning? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?
So Lu Zhixing immediately said, "Don't tell me when you're coming back, you have to tell your mom."
Lu Youyou muttered, "Then I'll tell Mom when I get back."
Qin Xiaobo was also furious. What did Lu Youyou mean by this? She couldn't even ask me out, but she wanted to go back to Jiangcheng with this guy a few days early? Were they dating?
Lu Zhixing was also worried about the same issue, so he deliberately asked Chen Cheng, "Does Xiao Chen have a girlfriend yet?"
"No," Chen Cheng replied casually.
Lu Zhixing and Qin Xiaobo both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Youyou felt somewhat dissatisfied. She could tell that her father was trying to use Chen Cheng to tell Qin Xiaobo that she and Chen Cheng were not dating.
At this moment, Lu Zhixing asked again, "By the way, Xiao Chen, what do your parents do for a living?"
Chen Cheng truthfully replied, "My dad works at a cigarette factory, and my mom works at the city's third food factory."
Lu Zhixing nodded and said, "The cigarette factory is a good company. What position does your father hold at the cigarette factory?"
Lu Zhixing felt that since Chen Cheng dared to borrow 100 million yuan from his daughter to do business, and the business was worth a total of 200 million yuan, his family must have some financial resources, so he wanted to find out more about it.
When Chen Cheng mentioned that his father worked in a cigarette factory, he assumed that Chen Cheng's father must be a leader.
Otherwise, children from ordinary working-class families wouldn't have such great courage.
Besides, if her father weren't a leader, the family probably wouldn't have much money. If the business failed, the family probably wouldn't be able to repay their daughter's one million.
Chen Cheng didn't think much of it and told him directly, "My dad works in quality inspection at the cigarette factory."
"Quality inspection..." Lu Zhixing felt like he was about to choke on his own blood.
Based on his understanding of cigarette factories, the department with the least or no profit margin was the quality inspection department.
Since the quality inspection department only inspects its own products, it cannot accept bribes or demand anything, and there is no gray income. It just receives a fixed salary.
He said his dad worked in quality inspection, and his monthly salary was at most two thousand yuan. Even with the year-end bonus, it couldn't possibly exceed two thousand five hundred yuan a month.
As for his mother, she worked at the Third Municipal Food Factory, a run-down factory that mainly made canned goods. There was hardly any market for it, and Fancheng wasn't a place that produced a lot of fruit. It was already a miracle that they could pay wages. I bet his mother didn't even get 800 yuan a month.
A family's annual income is only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, yet he dared to borrow a million yuan from his daughter. Where did he get the guts?
Lu Youyou was also a little embarrassed. They had only just set off, and her father had already started asking about Chen Cheng's family situation. She didn't know what to ask him for the next three hours of travel.
Upon hearing Chen Cheng's words, Qin Xiaobo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
I thought he was some formidable rival, but it turns out he's just a kid from an ordinary working-class family. What can he possibly compare to me? Except for being a little taller.
So he chuckled and said, "Actually, sometimes I really, really envy families like Chen Cheng's..."
Chen Cheng turned to look at him. The moment this guy opened his mouth, he knew the other guy was definitely up to no good.
However, if you simply ask him "What do you envy about me?" at this point, you'll definitely fall into his trap.
So Chen Cheng said with a serious face, "Xiao Qin, as long as your parents are healthy and your family is harmonious, you don't need to envy others' family environment. The subtext of envying others is that you feel your parents are not good enough, and this kind of mentality is not advisable."
"???"
Qin Xiaobo looked completely bewildered.
Seeing that he hadn't come to his senses, Chen Cheng said earnestly, "Take you for example. Your parents should have provided you with a comfortable life, but if you're not satisfied and you see that Bill Gates' daughter will inherit hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, and you go home and beat your parents and complain that they don't earn enough, then you're an ungrateful wretch. As the saying goes, a son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog doesn't despise his home for being poor. Your own family is always the best."
"Uh……"
Qin Xiaobo feigned embarrassment, but inwardly he thought, "Who the hell envies you! Your ordinary working-class families are all dirt poor! You can't even afford a car. How dare you lecture my son about not despising his mother for being ugly, or a dog for not despising its home for being poor? Do you think my family is poorer than yours?"
"You should ask me what I envy about you, so I can continue. I envy that your parents are ordinary workers who can spend more time with you, unlike my parents, who are only busy making money every day and I can hardly ever see them. During my childhood, they only gave me money and didn't give me enough companionship!"
"But when you say this from a moral high ground and even bring up the world's richest man as an example, you immediately kill the conversation on who is richer. How am I supposed to respond?"
Seeing his face change color from pale to flushed, Chen Cheng asked him seriously, "Xiao Qin, do you think what I said is right?"
Qin Xiaobo could only nod reluctantly: "Yes, you're right..."
Chen Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I knew it. You're definitely not a bad kid at heart. You still have a grateful heart."
"Fuck you..."
Qin Xiaobo was inwardly sullen and cursed under his breath, but he couldn't show the slightest displeasure out loud.
Lu Zhixing could tell that Chen Cheng was teasing Qin Xiaobo, but he didn't expect that Qin Xiaobo would set a trap for Chen Cheng, only to have Chen Cheng push him into it.
However, he had no appreciation for Chen Cheng whatsoever. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this kid was just good at talking, cunning and unkind.
Just then, Lu Zhixing's phone rang.
As soon as he connected, he couldn't wait to ask the other party, "What did ICBC say... that it can't be approved? Didn't their manager Cao say there wouldn't be any major problems?"
After listening for a while, Lu Zhixing angrily cursed, "You're all young and inexperienced! Young people are just unreliable!"
