A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

With a forced smile, he sat down next to Zhou Jianguo and showed him his ID card on his phone.

Zhou Jianguo raised an eyebrow and glanced over secretly.

Hey! The name on the ID card really is Lin Zheng.

"So, you really are Shishi's classmate? The top student who ranked in the top three in the city in the college entrance examination."

His tone softened, and he asked the question.

"Yes, it's a package! I even went to Jiangcheng University for a summer camp a while ago!"

Seeing this, Lin Zheng quickly said something.

Then he opened his QQ account, where there was a summer camp group chat with over 99 messages already, he didn't know how many there were, but he didn't have time or interest in looking at them.

Then he opened his chat history with summer camp counselor Jiao and showed it to Zhou Jianguo.

After this, Zhou Jianguo finally believed that the young man in front of him was indeed the top student in Shishi's class.

After confirming, a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum appeared on his face.

On the journey of life, some things we strive for may seem useless or have only a single purpose, but in reality, they will have an invisible impact in many areas.

Take the college entrance examination for example.

Even if you get into a 211 university, there's a 99% or higher chance that after graduation you'll still be just another ordinary person, nothing special, and you might not even do very well.

However, most people will unconsciously label such people as "academic superstars," "amazing," and "hardworking."

Not to mention Lin Zheng, a top student who can get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

At this moment, his favorability rating in Zhou Jianguo's mind jumped from negative to a relatively high level of excellence.

"Then what about you and my Shishi?...?"

His attitude changed drastically, and he asked tentatively.

"Oh, Shishi and I are currently colleagues; she works for me."

Lin Zheng patiently answered the question for the third time.

"By the way, didn't my Shishi go on a business trip with you a couple of days ago?"

Zhou Jianguo was an honest man. Unlike most people in the system who beat around the bush, he got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng smiled slightly and nodded in confirmation.

At the same time, he vaguely realized that Shishi's parents might have found out about him sleeping with her.

That night he left her many hickeys on her neck and between her collarbones...

Holy crap! We might actually have been seen.

For a moment, he couldn't help but clench his teeth and slowly inhale a breath of cool air.

After Zhou Jianguo confirmed that his daughter had indeed been seduced by Lin Zheng.

How should I put it?

He's currently in a state where he wants to be angry, but also doesn't want to be angry.

If some shady young man were to seduce his daughter, he would want to grab a stick and beat him up.

The problem is, the person who's been pushing her daughter is an exceptionally talented young man.

Sigh, whatever, I guess I'll just have to accept it.

Young people these days are so open-minded, he was speechless.

After figuring things out, the blockage in his heart was gone, and he began to talk to Lin Zheng about the future.

"Shishi told me that you all applied to schools in the southern part of the city? What are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

We are but mayflies in the vastness of the universe, a mere grain of millet in the boundless ocean.

The world is too big for him to have any grand goals.

However, since he entered society and started earning money, his initial mindset was to earn more money so that he could retire as soon as possible.

He paid Jiang Silin and Ran Min their salaries this morning, a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 yuan per month.

To be honest, if it were any other boss, they would only pay three or four thousand yuan at most.

After all, if you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will.

Lin Zheng's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled lightly: "My current plan for the summer is to start a business that makes money. After I go to university, my future focus will probably be on making money."

"Sigh~, what's the point of making so much money? Shouldn't I spend more time with my Shishi?"

Zhou Jianguo was both satisfied and somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Zheng's answer, and he couldn't help but chuckle and joke.

"Dad~......"

Zhou Shishi, who was standing to the side, hummed and shook his arm, looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Zheng smiled slightly and replied, "I'll definitely accompany you. Aren't we studying in the same place? When we're free, we can go out for a meal together or go on a trip around the area."

Besides, making money is something...

You can do more things if you earn money, right?

Zhou Jianguo looked somewhat surprised when Lin Zheng repeatedly mentioned his desire to make money.

It's rare to see someone so eager to make money!

You have to understand that young people who are eighteen or nineteen years old don't even have the awareness of making money, let alone the idea of ​​making money. Most of them just want to eat something good and have some fun.

Why is Lin Zheng so different from everyone else?

"What do you plan to do with the money you earn?"

Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but ask in return, expressing his curiosity.

It's no wonder he has a passive attitude towards making money.

He works within the system, and his wife works for a state-owned enterprise; they've both earned fixed salaries their entire lives.

A moderately prosperous family enjoys a stable income regardless of drought or flood, owns a car and a house, and has no worries about food and drink.

Making a lot of money doesn't seem to mean much to an honest man like him.

Or rather, he didn't even have that idea.

The passion of youth is hard to suppress, especially for young people who have not yet experienced suppression.

Since Lin Zheng started having amazing luck, everything he does has gone too smoothly.

Whether it's picking up girls or making money, everything is going too smoothly for him.

Therefore, he truly spoke freely about his ideals.

“We young people always hate capitalists and their exploitation of us. Many of us are forced to lie down in desperation in order to resist capitalists.”

But what I want to say is, if you want to change the status quo, why not become your own capitalist?

He took a deep breath as he spoke, his demeanor gradually becoming increasingly confident and imposing.

"Uncle Zhou, to be honest, my ideal before graduating from high school was to help others when I was successful and to cultivate my own virtue when I was unsuccessful."

Sometimes, when facing reality, this statement feels too vague and powerless.

Lin Zheng chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.

His gaze swept over Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Shishi, noticing that their mouths were slightly open, as if they were speechless at his idea.

After all, becoming a capitalist...

This thing is too far removed from them.

The idea of ​​"when you are successful, you should help others; when you are unsuccessful, you should cultivate your own virtue" is a lofty ideal that is difficult to attain.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Lin Zheng smiled helplessly and continued, "Uncle Zhou, the world belongs to you, but it also belongs to us."

Ultimately, the world belongs to us, and we young people are like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, in our prime.

Someone has to step up and take the lead in changing this situation, so why can't it be me?

Why is Chapter 188 going so far down?

The hall was eerily quiet.

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Shishi remained silent for a long time, as if they were stunned, which made him very embarrassed.

Damn! Talking about your ideals with ordinary people is truly embarrassing and speechless.

However, the next moment, Zhou Jianguo suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Good! Well said!!!"

What defines a young person? This is what a young person is! This is the spirit that young people should have!

Just for what you just said, Shishi will have lived a worthwhile life with you!

As people within the system, not everyone is bad; only a small minority are bad. Most people are like Zhou Jianguo.

I've endured hardship, toil, and struggled for the country.

But if I want to do something practical, I can't, so I can only honestly do my job well.

After recovering from her father's startled reaction, Zhou Shishi looked at Lin Zheng and was instantly smitten, her eyes practically sparkling with hearts.

"Old Zhou, what are you yelling about? Come and bring the food to the table, we're about to eat."

In the kitchen, Zhang Ping shouted, interrupting their conversation.

"Okay, let's eat, let's eat. Xiao Lin, shall we have a few drinks tonight? I feel like we've known each other for ages! Oh right, let's have a drink together."

Zhou Jianguo's face was practically beaming with joy. He got up, pulled Lin Zheng to the dining table, and then took out a bottle of his treasured Moutai liquor.

It costs around 1,500 yuan a bottle!

He originally planned to bring it back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, open it during the New Year's Eve dinner, and show off a bit.

But now it seems he is truly very satisfied with Lin Zheng, and so happy that he couldn't help but open it.

During the meal, because Zhou Jianguo's attitude had reversed completely, the group really talked about everything.

Lin Zheng had become very familiar with Zhou Shishi's family, especially his father. After a few drinks, they almost became sworn brothers.

In addition, you'll gain one more useful connection.

Zhou Shishi's father works in a water conservancy unit and has some power. He serves as the chief technician of a large-scale engineering project, which, according to him, is worth more than 60 million yuan.

If Lin Zheng is interested, he can take on the related engineering projects he is in charge of, such as building reservoirs and river embankments.

For example, you could easily earn one or two million a year by contracting a construction project.

Zhou Jianguo said it while he was drunk, and it could be considered as a dowry he was preparing for his daughter.

It's true that the fixed monthly salary for people working within the system is several thousand yuan.

But those who can understand what he said know that he is a member of the system, especially the elite backbone who have worked their way up to their forties and fifties.

If they wanted to, they could actually earn a lot of money in a month.

Moreover, this thing isn't illegal; it's simply a way to monetize resources like information and connections.

After dinner, the group chatted until about 8 p.m.

It was getting late, so Lin Zheng submitted his resignation.

Zhou Jianguo was reluctant to part with him, as if he couldn't bear to see his old friend leave. He pulled him aside and boasted for a while before letting Zhou Shishi see him off.

As soon as the door closed, the hallway became deserted.

"Lin Zheng, I never expected you to impress my dad so much over a meal! It's amazing! I've never seen my dad speak so highly of any younger generation before!"

For example, he might say things like, "You are the hope of the country's future, a pillar of society, with immeasurable potential."

That's so embarrassing to hear!

Zhou Shishi linked arms with Lin Zheng and smiled lightly.

Although she said it was a joke, she was actually madly in love.

How many girls could resist such a dashing and spirited guy?
