Chang Xingwang frowned: "Why did you suddenly have the idea of studying abroad?"
He wasn't against his child pursuing a high-quality education, but he still needed to explain the reasons clearly.
Given the family's current financial situation, it is inevitable that they will incur debt if they want to afford Chang Rihui's overseas studies.
Zhou Hongyu must have a large sum of money, but Chang Xingwang never considered that the money Zhou Hongyu worked so hard to earn was not for making high-cost educational investments for Chang Rihui.
Chang Rihui stammered, "Um, well... I just suddenly had this idea!"
This is a bit too frivolous!
Chang Xingwang looked at Chang Rihui seriously: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Chang Rihui answered firmly.
"Okay, close the study door. I want to talk to you about studying abroad..."
The study door was closed from the inside, and Zhou Hongyu could no longer eavesdrop on their conversation. However, she was no longer in the mood to watch TV.
Studying abroad will involve a significant amount of money in tuition and living expenses.
Zhou Hongyu could afford it, but the thought of her hard-earned money being spent like water pained her deeply. She couldn't bear to part with it!
That's her money!
Zhou Hongyu felt like crying from anger. Her carefully saved savings had vanished in an instant. Who could bear that?
In the study, Chang Xingwang earnestly explained the process of studying abroad and the enormous expenses involved to Chang Rihui. After finishing, he shut his mouth and waited for Chang Rihui to express his own views.
If you have an idea, you have to carry it out to the end.
Although Chang Rihui has always been a reliable child, Chang Xingwang couldn't help but worry about whether he could persevere, since it involved the high cost of studying abroad.
This is completely different from the academic pressure that Chang Rihui often encountered.
Going abroad is like entering a completely new world.
There, in addition to studying, there are all sorts of pressures, discrimination, survival, cultural differences, and so on, each of which is extremely challenging, so studying is not the most important factor.
Chang Rihui cautiously revealed his trump card: "Dad, you and Mom don't need to worry about the cost of studying abroad. I can afford it."
"You?" Chang Xingwang frowned. He did know a little about Rihui's small business outside, so how could he come up with so much money all at once?
Chang Rihui nodded proudly: "Dad, I started a company and bought several courtyards in the alley near Grandpa and Grandma's house. You can rest assured about the cost of my studies abroad!"
Chang Xingwang smiled slightly, unable to resist shattering Chang Rihui's beautiful fantasy.
"You must be talking about Chinese Yuan, right? You seem to have forgotten that you can't use Chinese Yuan to study abroad; you need foreign exchange. With the country facing a foreign exchange shortage these days, where are you going to get your foreign exchange?"
Chang Rihui's heart skipped a beat, his face devoid of a smile; he had overlooked the most important point.
He does have money, but not that much foreign exchange.
The company is very busy, and if he could squeeze out some foreign exchange, it would be enough for him to study abroad, but that's not realistic.
The company is still in its early stages and is fiercely competing with its peers in the market. These foreign exchange reserves are crucial to the company, as they are indispensable for communication and exchanges with foreign counterparts. If this link is missing, the company's core competitiveness will be greatly reduced, and the company may be eliminated from the market prematurely.
This is something Chang Rihui doesn't want to see, and it's not something he can decide alone.
When he first started the company, he tried to raise initial capital by bringing in shareholders, but they didn't agree with his ideas.
If he's willing to relinquish control of the company, it might be possible to try and win him over.
but……
That was a company he created for his beloved. Selling the "Love Bridge," which represented their beautiful love, in order to go abroad with Keqiao, seemed like an ominous sign.
Unless absolutely necessary, Chang Rihui is unwilling to sell Aiqiao.
Chang Rihui was extremely conflicted, while Chang Xingwang found it amusing: "Why are you thinking so much, you're just a kid? Have you forgotten that you still have parents to rely on?"
“Dad!” Chang Rihui’s eyes lit up. He had never thought of taking money from home.
I wouldn't have done that before, and I won't do it now.
Chang Xingwang smiled and said, "Aren't you your parents' child too?"
Although Chang Rihui is not as cared for as other children because of his extraordinary intelligence, and when Chang Xingwang is unable to take care of the family, he still has to do his part. But in the end, he is still his parents' child.
Chang Rihui was more excited than ever before; he had never heard such words before.
He didn't feel that he held an important place in his parents' hearts like other children.
Because he is a child who doesn't need his parents to worry about him, he can not only manage himself without supervision, but also help his parents take care of his siblings.
Chang Rihui wanted to change his mind again; he didn't want to go abroad anymore!
Chang Rihui lowered his head shyly: "Dad, since things are so complicated, I think I'd better not go abroad. It's too far away, and I don't want to only see my family every few years. I want to stay in Beijing and be with everyone for the rest of my life!"
Chang Xingwang chuckled and mocked, "Chang Rihui, are you still breastfeeding even though you're so old?"
Chang Rihui glanced at his father and waved his hands frantically: "Dad, these people are not included. They've been away from home a lot since we were kids, so you don't need to be counted!"
...
Chang Xingwang shook his head helplessly. What a stubborn kid!
After laughing, Chang Xingwang's expression turned serious again: "You said you wanted to study abroad at first, but now you've changed your mind. What are you really thinking?"
Once Chang Xingwang gets serious, Chang Rihui instinctively gets scared, and that's when he's about to get beaten.
