"But..."

"Although I can't let my cousin work in the club, I can think of other ways."

As soon as these words were spoken, the aunt and uncle opposite them raised their heads and looked over again.

Chen Rou hesitated for two seconds, "Auntie, do you think this will work?"

"My cousin has been studying beauty and hairdressing for a long time. Hasn't she always wanted to open her own barber shop?"

"However, I can use the money to open a barber shop for my cousin in the county."

Chen 꼎 smiled and glanced at Chen Wan across from him.

"It's better for her to be her own boss than to work for me."

"What do you think?"

Auntie's expression instantly became excited.

"Okay, okay... this is a good idea."

"Little rascal, you still have a way. Auntie was right about you."

The uncle at the side said with a little embarrassment: "Little boy, it takes a lot of money to open a barber shop."

Chen 꼎 smiled and said, "It's okay. Just think of it as me helping Xiaowan start her own business."

"How about this? If Xiaowan makes money from running this barber shop in the future, she can pay me back bit by bit. If she loses, the money will be considered as my investment for her, and she won't have to pay it back."

The third aunt suddenly slapped her thigh excitedly and stood up.

"Xiao 꼎, thank you so much. You have helped our family solve a big problem."

"You don't know, your uncle and I are very worried because of your cousin's job..."

The third uncle beside him felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly urged his daughter.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and thank your cousin?"

Chen Wan stood up with a red face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, cousin."

Chen 꼎 waved his hands: "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

Seeing the anxious and nervous looks of the second aunt 꿵, Chen 꼎 smiled and spoke.

"Second aunt, it's the same with my cousin. I'll help him open an auto repair shop. If he makes money, he can pay me back slowly. If he loses money, he doesn't have to pay me back."

"Oh, this... this, what should we say?"

"You are still a little kid. Your aunt loved you very much when you were little."

Chen 꼎 smiled and glanced at Gao Shengbo.

"I guess my cousin likes playing with cars more. He may not be able to adapt even if he goes to the club."

Gao Shengbo scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's true, I just like cars..."

Chen 꼎 clapped his hands: "That's fine. The matter has been resolved satisfactorily."

"Next, you can go around the county town and look for a suitable address to open a store. When the time comes, ask for the price and I'll pay for it."

Chen 꼎 then looked at his fourth uncle's family.

"Uncle and aunt, Chen Xiaoxiao is about to take the college entrance examination. I hope he can get into a university, whether it is a first-tier or second-tier university. I will cover the tuition for four years of university."

Fourth uncle was a little embarrassed: "I owed you a lot of money for my previous hospitalization..."

Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hands: "Let's put it this way. Chen Xiao has been close to me since he was a child. No matter what, he is my cousin."

"Thank you, cousin. I will definitely be admitted to university." Chen Xiao shouted excitedly.

Fourth Auntie laughed and scolded: "It's no use just talking. You have to study hard and learn from your cousin. If you can have half of your cousin's ability in the future, your father and I will be relieved."

Chen Jianye and Li Jinqiu sat aside and watched the scene silently without interrupting from beginning to end.

He was very satisfied with his son's behavior.

There is no favoritism and the harmony of this big family is maintained.

It seems that my son has really grown up.

…

Standing outside the courtyard gate and seeing off these relatives, Su Ruchu turned to look at Chen 꼎 and asked with a smile.

"It's hard for you."

Chen shook his head.

"It's not difficult. In fact, I have thought about this a long time ago."

"The family ties cannot be avoided or severed, not to mention that they have been very good to my family and me since I was a child. I can't just ignore them because I have money."

"As long as it does not violate the principles, I can still help them appropriately."

Su Ruchu approached gently.

"Sometimes I feel like you're very tired, but it's a pity that I'm so stupid that I can't seem to help you at all."

Chen 꼎 held Su Ruchu's little hand.

"You don't have to do anything. Just standing by my side is the greatest encouragement to me."

"Wife, if I ever lose myself and my strength, you don't need to do anything. Just give me a kiss and I will immediately be revived with full health and full of energy!"

Su Ruchu glanced around secretly, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Chen 꼎 lightly on the cheek.

"Then I'll give you some gas first."

Chen Ru immediately picked up Su Ruchu excitedly by the waist and ran along the path in the village.

"To snatch the new bride!"

Su Ruochu was startled and quickly slapped Chen 꼎's arm.

"Let me go quickly, or someone will see me."

"What are you afraid of? I'm holding my own wife. I'll just let them go back and hold their own wives."

Su Ruochu pouted: "How shameless! I haven't married you yet."

Chen 꼎 chuckled: "It's only a matter of time."

At this time, an old man from the village happened to pass by, and Chen 꼎 took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

"Grandpa Sun, go play."

"Ah, I'm exercising while holding my girlfriend... I'm just worried that I won't be able to hold her when we get married..."

Grandpa Sun was leaning on his cane and shaking his head with a smile.

"Hey, this kid has nothing to do so he just hugs his wife and does exercise."

Su Ruchu had already awkwardly shrunk her little head into Chen's arms.

…

After staying in Los Angeles for half a month, Chen 꼎 finally returned to Yunhai.

Fortunately, I was not alone this time, Su Ruchu came back with me.

Originally, Su Ruchu's cousin Gao Xixi was going to come with them. This girl did well in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the university in Yunhai that she had applied to before.

I want to take this opportunity to go to Yunhai with my cousin.

In the end, my parents rejected me and I was left alone at home feeling depressed.

The second day after Chen Ruo and Su Ruochu got home, Chen Wenchao from Baidu called them impatiently and asked Chen Ruo to meet again.

Chen 꼎 knew that the other party couldn't wait any longer.

Calculating the time, it's been about half a month, and it's almost done.

So Chen 꼎 made an appointment with the other party to meet at the teahouse where they first met, and drove to the appointment alone.

During this meeting, Chen Wenchao no longer had the arrogance of a big factory employee.

Because he had received an order from the headquarters, he had to get this business no matter what method he used.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings and then got straight to the point.

Chen Wenchao said that he had re-reported the situation to the headquarters, and after comprehensive consideration of various aspects, he finally gave Chen a quote.

Thirty-six thousand.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, this price is already very high. It is definitely a premium."

"The reason I told you this price directly is to let you know that we really want to make this deal with you."

"If you're still not satisfied, then I... really have no other options."

Chen Wenchao spoke directly to Chen 꼎 from the bottom of his heart.

Chen 꼎 remained unmoved, gently playing with the teacup in his hand.

"I said fifty thousand before..."

Chen Wenchao interrupted quickly: "Five hundred thousand is totally unrealistic. I reported the price you wanted before, and there is no way the headquarters would agree to it."

"To be honest, the current price is 360,000 yuan. If you ask around, you will find that there is no company willing to pay this much."

"If you still don't agree, then I... really have no other choice."

Chen Ru looked at Chen Wenchao to see that he was not lying.

This price is estimated to be the final bottom price that Baidu will give you.

But Chen Xiao clearly remembered that in his previous life, Baidu spent 50,000 yuan to acquire hao123, including some original shares.

Did I remember it wrong?
