Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
In Chen Rou's view, the qualities that Xiao Zhang believed A Yuan had developed through education were not the result of education at all, but rather a kind of influence and edification, the result of Nie Zhao's teachings and example.
For example, although he doesn't outwardly show affection to the Nie siblings like Nie Yao, even at the dinner table, if it's something they like to eat, he'll glance at the servants, and they'll adjust the order of the dishes.
For example, if A Yuan eats well and cleans himself up, Nie Zhao will reward him with a lollipop after the meal. In this way, A Yuan will consciously make sure he cleans himself up.
Of course, he was also putting on an act today, pretending to be polite, after all, a little guest had come.
If he were at home, he would have already ridden off on his bike by the time he finished eating, leaving only a blur in his wake.
When it comes to educating children, Chen Rou is actually an outsider, so she found it difficult to answer Xiao Zhang's question.
After thinking for a long time, she carefully said, "It is very important for parents to set a good example. Also, don't stifle your child's interests, and give them plenty of freedom and democracy. I think that's about it."
As for the Nie siblings, Jia Yu and Jia Jun are not suitable to inherit the family business. Letting them do business is definitely not going to work for them. If Nie Han were to marry into a business family, it would surely be a mess. But what they are doing now is what suits them best.
But Xiao Zhang is still a bit stubborn, though of course she has her own limitations.
The two children hadn't really started playing yet. Minmin finally got her lollipop, but she was too embarrassed to play anymore.
Ah Yuan, seeing only building blocks, quietly piled them up, waiting for his sister to finish her candy before they played together.
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but sigh, though he had to keep his voice down: "Mrs. Nie, your son is really well-behaved."
Seeing is not always believing, so Chen Rou didn't say anything for the time being.
She then steered the conversation back to the main topic, discussing Xiao Zhang's purpose for coming, the major she wanted to study, and the schools she could recommend.
Xiao Zhang decisively said, "Computers and foreign languages are the two things I mainly want to learn."
In Xiao Zhang's mind, computers are just tools, but in fact they cover a very wide range, from hardware to software to tools. To learn them all at once is just scratching the surface. To learn them in depth, we need to see which unit Xiao Zhang will go to after his military service, and then we can study them in a targeted manner so that we can learn them more thoroughly.
Their relationship was unlike that of Chen Rou and Li Xia, or that of her and Nie Han.
Just like Bao Yuyan, she's just an acquaintance, and of course, Nie Zhao's client. It's necessary to maintain a proper distance. Chen Rou will certainly give sincere advice, but she won't pry too deeply or ask too many questions.
As they were chatting, A Yuan's personal bodyguard, his godfather, arrived.
He sprained his knee and strained his muscles last night, and it wasn't until this morning that his knee started to swell. Of course, he tried to control himself and not show it when he walked. He said, "Madam, the car is ready."
He bowed again to Xiao Zhang and said, "Hello, Madam."
Xiao Zhang didn't recognize Song Yuanchao, so he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This servant of the richest man's family has a really nice face."
Of course she brought a gift. She went back to her room to get it, went down the elevator, and took a car home.
By the way, Song Yuanchao also went through Exit 2, which is the back of the Nie's Building. And right now, it's noisy outside. As you walk around the building, you can see that there seem to be a lot of people gathered in front of the Nie's Building.
Chen Rou naturally had to ask, "Is there a car accident up ahead? It looks like there are a lot of people stuck in traffic."
Just now, Song Yuanchao was also maintaining order down there.
He and Chen Ke are the same kind of people. Of course, they are also soldiers who continue the beliefs of their predecessors. They are the people's army, and everything they do is based on the people's interests. They also maintain a sense of awe towards their superiors.
Xiao Zhang belonged to the upper class, so Song Yuanchao naturally had to be careful when speaking to her.
As for those young people who are fans of celebrities, he also needs to think about whether or not to discuss this topic in front of Xiao Zhang.
So after thinking it over, he said, "I don't know either, but if you need to know, I'll ask around for you."
Chen Rou said, "No need, just drive carefully."
There is a type of person that people envy and find annoying: the nouveau riche.
In Hong Kong, there is still a prime example of an ugly house that everyone who passes by curses: the one built by Guo Fuzheng's father, Guo Xiaobai, who was executed by the police. It had Roman-style golden pillars, a halal-style dome, and was covered in glazed tiles. They spent a lot of money on it, but even a toad passing by would curse its ugliness.
But for a family like the Nie's, whose aesthetic sense has been cultivated over generations, one can only admire their home.
The car entered the gate and parked directly at the main entrance. The slightly gray stone bricks were spotless. The old butler in a suit and leather shoes, along with the neatly dressed servants, stood in rows at the entrance to greet the guests.
From the floor tiles to the walls, everything is actually white, but there is a gradient from dark to light.
Xiao Zhang couldn't quite put his finger on what was so good about it, but he felt a sense of openness and spaciousness as soon as he entered the Nie family's entrance hall.
Before coming, she had repeatedly told Minmin that no matter what she saw, she must not make a fuss or act like she had never seen the world before. But in fact, when she saw the large fish tank that occupied an entire wall, which was A Yuan's favorite, and the beautiful fish that were carefully tended to by someone every day, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"
In fact, the Nie family doesn't run casinos or engage in venture capital, so they don't need to attract investment. Their assets are all locked up and not displayed to the outside world.
But Zhang had never seen fish like that in the tank before. They were like butterflies, but much bigger and more graceful. There were fish with shimmering scales, some bright red, some snow-white, and some with scales like crystal.
