It just so happened that the news about the US aircraft carrier's advance into the South China Sea, resulting in the torpedoes being retrieved by Chinese fishermen, had just been published today. Chen Rou was shaking the newspaper when Ram saw it and remembered his bet. He reached into his pocket and said to Chen Rou, "I'm so sorry, Madam, please allow me to give the money to your maid after I get off work."
Nie Jiajun didn't know what kind of bet Chen Rou and her bodyguard had made, but after seeing the news, he said, "Impossible. The US reconnaissance torpedoes are equipped with the most advanced far-infrared detection systems, and their sonar and radar are also the most advanced in the world."
He plans to work in the electronics and information industry and stay on Wall Street. When he was planning to hack Standard Chartered's system, he was also planning to transfer money to the United States.
The reason he settled in the United States was, of course, because he loved the country and believed in its strength.
Just like Ram never expected that fishermen in the South China Sea could retrieve fishing mines, he also thought it was impossible and incredible.
Nowadays, children like him can access global news via computers.
However, unlike the future when there will be many portal websites, the current internet is still concentrated in major universities in the United States, and web pages are not as easily accessible as they will be in the future. They are called electronic bulletins and require access through telephone lines, which is of course very slow.
In short, even after seeing the news, Nie Jiajun did not believe that fishermen in the South China Sea could retrieve American fishing mines. Moreover, Hong Kong newspapers do tend to spread nonsense. Therefore, he said, "I don't believe this kind of ridiculous news. I can contact the electronic bulletin board of West Point right now to verify this matter myself."
He then said to Ram, "You may not have lost your bet yet. Wait a little longer, and maybe I'll give you a different answer."
He finished speaking and prepared to leave.
But Chen Rou called out to him: "Nie Jiajun."
Nie Jiajun stopped, his eyes cold and his tone unfriendly: "Is there anything else?"
"What if this news is true?" Chen Rou stood up and walked to his side: "Do you want to take a gamble too?"
Nie Jiajun was even less inclined to believe it was true than Ram. How should I put it? At his age, and for kids who love electronics and the internet, Silicon Valley and Wall Street are holy grail places, as is the United States.
His admiration and adoration made it impossible for him to believe it was real.
Moreover, Chen Rou was indeed different from before. She was over 1.7 meters tall, about the same height as him, slightly shorter, but when she looked at him, her eyes had a condescending look, full of provocation.
"Whatever you want to bet on," Nie Jiajun said. "Don't think I don't know that Grandpa and Uncle can manipulate the media in Hong Kong, but they can't manipulate the media in the United States, my dear sister."
Chen Rou said, "If you lose, stop bothering your uncle. Give us three days. We'll talk to you about your second uncle's matter, seriously and thoroughly."
Nie Jiajun is the second son and the eldest grandson of Nie Rong. Apart from Nie Zhao, he owns the most shares in the Nie family.
If, like in his previous life, Nie Zhao had no children, then he would be the next head of the Nie family.
He was much more reliable than the quirky Nie Jiayu. He reached out his hand to shake mine and said, "It's a deal."
He added, "I'll bet you, but I also hope you will respect us and give us the facts, instead of being like the Hong Kong media, which only twists and turns and makes up stories."
After saying that, he glanced weakly at his uncle Nie Zhao. Seeing Nie Zhao staring at him with a sinister look in his eyes, he realized that he was just a kid and was only challenging an adult out of a sense of pride. So he pulled Nie Jiayu along, and the two of them left together.
Born into a wealthy family, and with his family having undergone a major upheaval, Nie Jiajun couldn't possibly be so foolish as to think nothing had happened. Today, he was trying to challenge his uncle. If you forcefully suppress a child like this, he will harbor resentment. This inevitable loss can be delayed for a few days. In a few days, Nie Zhao will eventually have to give him an explanation.
It's not hard to say. After all, no matter how good Nie Jiajun's relationship with Nie Yao was, when he learned the truth about his father's death in a car accident, he couldn't possibly side with his enemy instead of his own uncle.
After watching Nie Jiajun and his brother leave, Chen Rou went back to her breakfast.
Seeing Nie Zhao spreading butter and saury sauce on bread while laughing, she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Nie Zhao said, "I've found that my wife seems to have more experience dealing with children than I do."
Chen Rou almost blurted out, "Of course!" After all, she became a squad leader in her second year in the army. She had trained countless new recruits, all greenhorns. Training them was her specialty.
She could also tell that he didn't seem to be very good at dealing with children.
This is probably one of the few flaws in the richest man. Chen Rou is quite proud that she is finally better than her husband in one aspect.
She ate quickly. By the time Nie Zhao had just spread butter on his bread and was about to enjoy it, she had already eaten several pastries. She swallowed the pastries with a sip of red tea and asked, "How about I go to the shooting range and shoot a couple of rounds while I wait for you?"
Boss Nie dared not dawdle any longer, and stuffed the bread into his mouth in a few bites: "Let's go together!"
It's time to discuss strategies for dealing with Inspector Yu. Let's see what new ideas and plans Wade has come up with.
Mr. Nie himself is also very much looking forward to it.
