"You don't want us to come to the school to find you? No problem, but you have to give us money!"
"It has to be given every month."
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua have come clean!
This time, instead of putting on a pitiful act, he bluntly stated that if Zhou Na didn't want things to become known throughout the school, she would have to pay him off.
The thing Zhou Na least wanted to see finally happened. Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were so shameless that they threatened to go to her roommates, classmates, and teachers and tell them everything about her if she didn't get paid.
"You...you are despicable and shameless!"
Zhou Na glared angrily, her face frosty and gloomy.
“Your mother and I didn’t want this either, but you forced us. You still refuse to acknowledge us, so what can we do? Now you’ve made something of yourself, you’ve gone to a prestigious university in Beijing, and you’re tutoring the children of residents in Wanfeng Garden Community. You can earn thirty yuan per lesson, which is nine hundred yuan a month. You only need to give us half of that. We will never go around spreading rumors and ruin your reputation.”
Actually, your mother and I haven't had it easy these past few days either. We haven't been able to find suitable jobs, and even eating has been a problem. You know, even a hero can be brought down by a penny. We're having a hard time, otherwise we wouldn't be asking you for money. As our flesh and blood, it's only right that you take care of us.
Zhou Dana said shamelessly, revealing his true ugly face.
Wang Xiuhua also feigned misery, repeatedly saying that they didn't want to do this, but living in a city like Yanjing without money was too difficult.
Zhou Na didn't believe it at all, knowing that the two of them were just putting on an act, singing in unison in front of her.
They even knew who she tutored and her tutoring fees. Clearly, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua had been secretly following her.
Now, these two people want to take half of what she earns with just a few words; it's utterly shameless.
He's never supported her for a single day, yet he's incredibly shameless, coming to her asking for money.
Zhou Na was utterly speechless. She felt that Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua in front of her were like two disgusting leeches, clinging to her and mocking her wantonly. Yet, she couldn't pull them off and had no way to deal with them.
"Four hundred and fifty yuan? Absolutely not. I can only give you three hundred at most."
"If you agree, I can give you the money; if you don't agree, forget it, you can go around telling everyone."
Zhou Na adopted a "what's the worst that could happen?" attitude, indicating she wouldn't let the two of them make exorbitant demands. Three hundred yuan was her bottom line, not a penny more.
"Three hundred is too little. It's not enough for your dad and me to eat!"
Wang Xiuhua was not satisfied; this amount of money was barely enough to cover the rent.
“Not a penny more. If you agree, you agree; if you don’t, there’s nothing I can do. At worst, you can ruin my reputation. Anyway, I’ll lose face, and you won’t get a single penny.”
Zhou Na said coldly, "Asking me for money and complaining that it's not enough, can you be any more shameless?"
"Okay, three hundred it is, we agree!"
Zhou Dana suddenly agreed.
“No, how could you…” Wang Xiuhua was about to object, but Zhou Dana gave her a look and immediately ordered her to shut up.
"Give us the money now, and we'll leave. We promise we won't bother you at school again this month. We'll come back to get the money from you again at this time next month."
Zhou Dana said with a forced smile.
"You wait here."
Without saying a word, Zhou Na told the two to wait a while while she went to a nearby bank to withdraw money.
Ten minutes later,
After receiving the money, the two watched Zhou Na leave.
Wang Xiuhua examined the money in her hand repeatedly, fearing it was fake and that she had been cheated by Zhou Na.
"Stop looking, it's real. She wouldn't dare try to fool us with counterfeit money."
Zhou Dana said in a deep voice.
"Why did you agree so soon? You should have asked her for more. Three hundred yuan is too little. She doesn't spend much on food each month."
After putting the money in her pocket, Wang Xiuhua complained that Zhou Dana had agreed too quickly.
Zhou Dana snorted, thinking to himself, "What do you know, you're just a woman? Being greedy will only backfire. You need to learn to stop while you're ahead."
Most importantly, Zhou Na doesn't earn much. It's good that she can come up with 300 yuan right now. The real money will come when Zhou Na starts earning big money in the future.
We must not let small gains lead to big losses.
"If we keep pressuring her and she refuses to take a single penny, what will we do? In the end, we'll only end up losing everything. We need to learn to play the long game. If we give her three hundred now, she can earn over ten thousand a month later, and then we can get three thousand from her. Do you understand? Don't just look at the present. We still need this girl to support us in our old age."
Zhou Dana explained.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhua suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zhou Dana's statement: "Did I think too little, or did you think too thoroughly?"
“Three hundred yuan is a small amount, but it’s better than nothing. I’ve done my research. Graduates from Yanli University can easily find jobs. If they’re lucky, they can even get into foreign companies and work for foreigners. Foreigners are very generous and pay high salaries. It’s said that lucky people can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. It’s stupid to give up greater future benefits for just one or two hundred yuan.”
Zhou Dana hadn't come to the school to see Zhou Na these past few days. Aside from occasionally secretly following Zhou Na's whereabouts, he was also trying to find out about these things and investigate Zhou Na's salary after graduation. After hearing about these things, he knew he had made a fortune. It turned out that graduates of Yanli University were so valuable.
"Actually, the most popular are still the college students from Yenching University. Compared to that kid, Zhou Na, that brat, is much worse."
Thinking of the most valuable college graduates, Zhou Dana couldn't help but sigh.
If the three siblings don't fall out with Zhou Chen, these two fake parents will definitely be able to squeeze some money out of him.
Unfortunately, the three siblings were short-sighted and their relationship with Zhou Chen deteriorated to the point where it was impossible to salvage the situation.
This indirectly caused the couple to miss out on a large sum of money.
He felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought about it.
Especially considering that Zhou Chen now has two businesses and is worth millions, even a little bit of money from Zhou Chen's fingernails would be enough for the couple to live a carefree life.
Unfortunately, it was all ruined by those three idiots.
When Zhou Chen was mentioned, Wang Xiuhua also showed a hint of regret, because she was envious of the money Zhou Chen had, but she couldn't get a single penny from him, which was really distressing.
"How about we think of another way?"
"Don't even dream about what you're thinking. You'd better put away your crooked ideas. Don't forget the fate of the Zhou family, Zhao Kun, and that vice president of Tsinghua and Peking University. He's not one of those three idiots who can be easily dealt with."
"If we anger him, we won't get away with it."
Zhou Dana knew Wang Xiuhua's intentions; she wanted to get something out of Zhou Chen. But Zhou Dana knew it would be very difficult. Zhou Chen only hated the three siblings. They appeared as the siblings' parents, so how could they possibly get anything from Zhou Chen? It would be good enough if Zhou Chen didn't deal with them.
Look at what happened to those who opposed Zhou Chen—some went to jail, some lost their jobs. He didn't want to end up like them.
