My son, who graduated from a third-tier university, has only been in the workforce for a few years, but he has suddenly become the "General Manager Chen" that everyone talks about.
Chen Yishou and his wife couldn't accept it right away.
It's not that they don't want their son to improve; everyone wants their son to improve. But they understand that such a thing is impossible.
I often see short videos about college students being tricked into paying off debts or being lured into pyramid schemes; these are all gruesome cases.
The couple was terrified that their son would be in this situation.
These girls are all incredibly beautiful, and the sweet compliments they shower on my son every day must have him completely bewitched.
"Xiao Zhe, I don't ask you to be rich and powerful, I just hope you are safe and sound. We don't care about anything else. Listen to your mother, we'll go home once you're healed, okay?"
"Mom, you've really misunderstood. It's not what you think..."
No matter how Chen Zhe explained, Su Liping wouldn't listen.
"What exactly do you want? You're still young, and there are many things about society that you don't understand. Do you remember that grandson of the Li family? He was also tricked into going there. Before, everyone called him 'General Manager Li,' he was so glamorous, and he even bragged about it when he came back to the village. But do you know what's going on now? He's disappeared without a trace. I heard he's hiding from debt collectors. He was set up. Just listen to your mother, let's not talk about these empty things, okay?"
Wu Yuanyuan and the others could also tell that Chen Zhe's parents must have misunderstood.
"Uncle, Aunt, you've really misunderstood. Our Linglong Club isn't that kind of company. We're a legitimate company..."
"Young lady, don't interrupt. We're so old, we've seen more than you've ever had. I advise you to quit that company as soon as possible. Who becomes a boss at such a young age? Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Yishou and Su Liping have been staying in the small town for a long time. Their perspective is limited to what is in front of them, and they are only willing to believe what they believe.
It's nice to have something fall from the sky, but they don't think that such a thing will fall on their heads.
Wu Yuanyuan has excellent social skills. She didn't rush to refute, but smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I understand your concerns. My parents were also very worried about me at first, afraid that I would be deceived. But the situation is indeed not as you think. How about this? I'll take you to see our company?"
"Yes, Uncle and Aunt, you can go and see our company. It's really impressive and not some scam company."
Mo Xiaohong echoed.
"Forget it, you can't tell those companies are scams just by looking at them. Don't think we're naive; we watch short videos all the time too."
Several girls tried to dissuade them, but the couple had clearly already decided that Linglong Club was a fraudulent company.
Having no other choice, Chen Zhe had to resort to his trump card.
He opened his phone and placed the balance in front of his mother.
"Mom, would a scam company really give me that much money?"
Su Liping took the phone and was stunned when she saw the balance. Chen Yishou was also dumbfounded and couldn't help but count the number.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."
He was startled.
"Xiao Zhe, how do you have so much money? Is it all clean?"
"Dad, don't worry, this money is absolutely clean, I swear!"
They knew one thing: fraudulent companies only cheat people out of their money and would never actually give it to them.
"This...you really struck it rich?"
Su Liping couldn't help but ask.
Chen Zhe nodded; "I guess I have some savings..."
Chen Yishou couldn't hold back any longer; "You brat, you call this having some savings? You have tens of millions in your account, that would make you a billionaire around here. How long have you had this money? He never told us about it?"
“Dad, I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would worry. Look at your reactions now. If I had told you from the beginning, you would have definitely come and pulled me back.”
If they had told us from the beginning that they earned that much, Chen Yishou and his wife would definitely have come running over.
With them making such a fuss, I doubt I'll be able to work properly.
The Chen couple felt somewhat awkward.
Chen Yishou counted the numbers in Chen Zhe's bank card again.
“Son, I believe you now. You have indeed made a fortune, which is a good thing, a good thing. But you are so unfilial. You made a fortune and didn’t even tell us. Are you afraid we will spend your money?”
"Dad, I didn't mean it that way..."
"So, are you willing to spend money on us?"
Chen Yishou asked.
Chen Zhe's heart skipped a beat; it turned out his father was waiting for him there.
"Please speak."
Chen rubbed his hands together; "It's nothing serious, it's just that our house is a bit dilapidated. You know, our old house was built back in your grandfather's time, and now it's a dangerous building..."
"A dilapidated building? I think it's quite nice..."
"Good my foot! What's so good about it? The exterior tiles haven't even been laid yet, all the furniture in the house is old, and the bed your mother and I sleep in is the one we bought when we got married, it's over 20 years old..."
"Okay, okay, how much do you want?"
"Not much. Remember Aunt Wang next door? They recently started building a villa, I heard it'll cost over 2 million. That woman, she's been bragging about it everywhere. We're going to build a villa too, I'm thinking of changing up our place..."
Chen Yishou began to dream about the wonderful life after the house was built.
However, Chen Zhe felt that doing so was a bit too ostentatious.
"Dad, isn't this a bit too much?"
Chen Yishou clicked his tongue.
"What's so exaggerated about that? You're a multi-millionaire now, building a 2 million house is perfectly normal, right, Ping?"
Su Liping nodded.
"Your dad has a point."
"this……."
"Stop with the fuss. Also, I need to replace all my equipment. I've wanted to get new massage beds for ages, but I've been holding back. There's also some high blood pressure monitoring equipment, and other things. It'll probably cost around 200,000 yuan in total..."
Chen Zhe raised an eyebrow.
"Dad? Don't try to scam me. 200,000 for that little thing?"
"Tsk! What do you mean by ripping you off? Shouldn't you get something good when you buy things? How developed is society now? Will customers come if things are too old and worn out?"
"Dad, our place is just a small town, we don't have many tourists..."
"What do you mean there aren't many guests? You haven't been back for a long time. The tourism industry is developing quite well in our area now, and there are a lot of tourists coming to visit us."
Chen Zhe nodded, which was considered an agreement.
"besides……"
Chen started counting on his fingers.
"besides???"
Chen Zhe immediately sat up. To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't want to spend money on his parents, but he felt that spending so much money at once was too ostentatious and not a good idea.
They spent so much money building villas and buying things, and their relatives will definitely smell the trouble and come to borrow money. This is a difficult situation. If you don't lend them money, it will hurt the relationship between relatives. If you do lend them money, you will definitely not be able to get it back.
Who would want their hard-earned money to be taken away by someone else?
He knew perfectly well that once those relatives asked, the amount would be substantial.
Therefore, he hoped that his father could keep a low profile.
"Why are you making such a fuss? It's not like this costs you a lot of money. You're not short of money. I just want to buy a GLC. I've been looking at that car for a long time. The top-of-the-line model is around 500,000 yuan now..."
Chen Zhe covered his forehead, now regretting showing his parents his bank balance.
"Dad, listen to me, let's not buy this car, okay?"
“Why not buy them? I’m still driving a beat-up old car from 10 years ago. You’re the president of a big company now. It would be embarrassing for you if I drove that kind of old car. I think those two GLCs are more in line with my status.”
Su Liping nodded as well.
“That’s right, that’s right, Xiao Zhe, we have to buy this car. If you buy this car for your dad, we can drive it to visit your sister. When your sister sees that we’re doing better, she’ll definitely forgive us.”
Su Liping's thinking was very simple.
She used to be afraid that her daughter would kill them, but now that she sees that Chen Zhe is rich, she doesn't think that way anymore. Chen Zhe is rich, which means that the two of them are rich. If the two of them are rich, they can make up for their daughter more. Once their daughter sees the benefits, she will definitely forgive her.
This is what Su Liping was thinking.
As Chen Zhe watched them talk more and more, he broke out in a cold sweat. According to their logic, the more than 10 million in his account wouldn't be enough to cover all their expenses.
What's with building a house in your hometown, buying a car, and then buying a villa in the city...?
They really have a lot of ideas.
They have no idea about property prices in Donghai. Over ten million yuan to buy a villa? Sorry, impossible!
He quickly stopped.
“Dad, Mom! Actually, this money isn’t entirely mine. The company has set aside a portion of it for me. My share is only a little over a million…”
"What???"
The couple were stunned.
If your 10 million becomes 1 million, a tenfold decrease, what will happen to the villa you were dreaming of?
"Xiao Zhe, you're not lying to us, are you?"
Chen Yishou was very suspicious.
Wu Yuanyuan and Chen Zhe worked together the best. After seeing Chen Zhe's look, she immediately took over the conversation.
“Uncle, Mr. Chen, what you said is true. There were indeed some funds in the finance department that went through Mr. Chen’s card.”
After hearing Wu Yuanyuan's words, the couple finally believed her.
I'm slightly disappointed.
"Then our house..."
"Dad, don't worry, I'll build the back of the house. There's no rush, okay?"
"Okay, but you absolutely have to buy me a car!"
Chen Yishou is very attached to this car.
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I can buy it for you, but it can't be registered under your name. It has to be registered under our company's name."
"Huh? Why? Why can't my car be registered in my name?"
Chen Yishou was getting anxious.
"Dad, can you promise me? If you promise me, I'll buy it for you. If you don't promise me, then I can't buy it for you."
"This...oh well! Fine, fine, I really am an unfilial son!"
Seeing that his father had agreed, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he did this was simply to avoid being too high-profile. By registering the car under the company's name, he could simply say it was a company car if relatives asked, thus saving himself a lot of trouble.
Chen Zhe's way of thinking has changed a lot. If he had made money when he first started out, he would definitely have the same idea as his father: to buy, buy, buy. He would change his car today and build a house tomorrow. But now he knows that such vanity is completely meaningless. The more money he makes, the less willing he is to spend it on such vanity.
After all, even someone as truly wealthy as Hu Ling is now sharing an apartment with him.
