On the other hand, Zhou Jiao had no idea what her father-in-law was thinking. During the days waiting for their arrival, he was busy contacting Miao Tianming abroad by phone.

Although he is not in the United States, he has many relatives.

Zhou Jiao had her own considerations. Although she believed in her son's abilities, she couldn't help but want to think more carefully about her child's situation.

The child's accommodation must be arranged by the school, but racial discrimination is unavoidable everywhere, so she must first prepare a safe place to live.

Also, Wuyi looks like me, and I take after my grandmother Gu Mingzhu. Will the older generation of friends be suspicious?

Considering her sons' safety, she wanted to take precautions in every aspect. In her eyes, the three children were still her sons who would act like spoiled brats.

Yes, in the eyes of a mother, no matter whether her son is a superhero in martial arts or has achieved great success, she can't let go of her concern.

"Don't worry, sister. I've even arranged a car. Do you want to hire some bodyguards? It won't cost much."

"Let's wait for this." Zhou Jiao wasn't so reluctant to spend the money, she was worried about restricting her son's freedom. "Money isn't the key. I have to make Wuyi like it."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Well, it can't be too special, or it will easily attract attention." Zhou Jiao thought for a moment, "I'll contact you after he goes abroad. I'll need your help with some things."

For example, weapons.

She would rather arm her son than hire a bodyguard.

But you can’t speak directly on these calls, because who knows if someone is eavesdropping.

She always had a premonition that her Wuyi must have received some secret mission. He didn't say anything, so she kept a close eye on him these past few days.

A fox will reveal its tail. Of course, even if there are no signs, she will prepare for the worst and make preparations in advance.

Putting these thoughts aside, Zhou Jiao changed the subject. The reason why Miao Tianming made the international call was not only because of May Day's personal matter, but also because of another important matter.

"What's the situation over there now?"

On the other end of the phone, Miao Tianming chuckled, "Right now, if you pick any bar in Italy, everyone is talking about this strike.

In the first few days, ordinary people didn’t take the strike seriously, and most of the talk was just jokes.”

Zhou Jiao narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, "Oh, what about now?"

"Haha, things have been different these past few days. Evra said there's been significant market fluctuations. I guess some people made some moves before, but some are still waiting and watching."

"That's for sure. Many people are waiting for the local government to come up with policies."

"Sister, you're amazing! That's exactly what I mean. A considerable number of people are still unsure whether the local government will have the courage to intervene directly. They're still guessing how long this strike will last, asking around for information, and waiting to see what the government will say."

These days, Miao Tianming has not been idle. He pays attention to the affairs in Italy every day. From all aspects, this information indicates one thing.

If these investors withdraw, the Italian stock market will definitely plummet, based on the various information they have collected and Zhou Jiao's previous layout.

Evra and his team decisively diversified their funds, shorting some state-owned enterprise stocks. In a major strike, state-owned enterprises will always suffer the most.

I believe that once a short squeeze occurs in the market, many investors who are waiting and holding stocks will not be able to bear it, and then the stock market will definitely plummet.

Now, as long as he calls Evra and the others, even though the stock price has only dropped a little, he can still hear the excitement in their tone.

Yes, it's exciting!

But for those crazy people, money no longer means much. What really excites them are the jumping and flashing numbers.

Only those Arabic numerals can make them excited, and only those jumping numbers can make them feel a sense of accomplishment.

The two of them discussed their plans for the next two months on the phone. Since international call charges were very expensive, Zhou Jiao quickly decided to make the conversation short.

This is not the way to spend money.

She counted the calls during this period and found that all the colorful Franklins had been contributed to foreign banks.

Are you talking about the money spent by Miao Tianming?

Isn’t that her brother!

She was so protective of her son that even Zhang Guoqing couldn't handle her when she got serious about it.

At this moment, he saw her hurriedly hang up the phone after instructing them to contact each other about something that was not urgent, and shook her head with a smile, "How is it?"

"Everything is as expected." Zhou Jiao thought about the conversation again, making sure there were no problems. She reaffirmed, "We can put it aside for the short term."

“As it should be.”

Zhang Guoqing naturally didn't want her to overwork herself. Since the general direction had been determined and highly paid professionals had been hired, there was no need to waste energy.

money?

After recognizing his relatives in his previous life, he wasn't being sentimental, he simply didn't feel anything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have donated millions with a simple flick of his finger.

Especially coming here.

The Gu family's windfalls hit him one after another, and he was really numb. No matter how much more there was, could it still make him and his wife immortal?

The reason why he is happy to do more good deeds.

First, it is not for spiritual practice, and second, it is not for salvation. I just want to accumulate virtue for future generations. What's more, if there is an afterlife, I only hope that each other's surnames will be engraved on the Three Lives Stone so that we can continue in the next life.

"We have a distinguished guest coming over next weekend. Should I make some preparations?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head disapprovingly and said, "That girl is growing up right under my nose. There's no need to be so grand. You have to figure out how to be a mother-in-law."

"I'm not going to be a mother-in-law." Zhou Jiao smiled and glanced at him. "I'm just considering whether to give a red envelope. This is the first time my son has brought his girlfriend home, and I have no experience."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Guoqing looked at her and laughed happily. "Wait until mom comes over, then ask her for advice. Or you can ask your aunt."

"Aunt?" Zhou Jiao shook her head. "Forget it. I'm worried that she'll tease the child and scare him. Ping An should be sure of the Qu family girl, right?"

"I can let my son bring her home. If there are no conflicts during the relationship, this will be the choice of my eldest daughter-in-law. According to my son's opinion, we can date her for another year or so, and then we can get her engaged if it's suitable."

Zhou Jiao frowned slightly in disapproval, "Is this okay? There are so many people outside watching our house, who would be uneasy if that child came to our house?

As for the Qu family, how should I treat them? We have to strike a balance. We see them every day. If these two children don’t make it, both families will become enemies.”

"Ping'an knows what's important. The reason the child said he wanted to bring the girl from the Qu family to the old house this time must be that he didn't consider this. As for our two families, on the surface, we still get along as usual."

Zhou Jiao nodded after hearing what he said. This was the only way to go for now. After all, what was more important than her child's happiness?
