Chu Yu smiled without saying a word, just staring intently at her. Xu Yiyi felt guilty under her gaze and quickly looked away.
After everyone left, Zhang Ying asked in a low voice, "What happened? You rarely show your emotions to people. This new counselor is also quite strange. Out of so many people in the class, she only greeted you. Even though you are pretty and a popular person in our computer science department, I still find it strange."
Chu Yu didn't hide it from her, "We know each other."
"What?"
Zhang Ying called out, and Li Miao followed suit. Chu Yu thought that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, but some family scandals just had to be said. So she briefly told them about her father's infidelity, how Zhao Hanqiao had climbed to the top by stepping on her, and how he had cheated on her with Xu Yiyi.
Zhang Ying was completely terrified; she hadn't expected that there were so many things going on in Chu Yu's family!
"You mean Xu Yiyi is that mistress's daughter? And that mistress was an imposter posing as the Dai family's heiress? After you exposed her, she ran off with your father's money and went south?"
Chu Yu didn't deny it, and Zhang Ying's pupils exploded. She felt that Chu Yu's family affairs were a bit too interesting.
"No, how do you know Xu Yiyi's mother is a fake heiress? Then who is the real heiress of the Dai family?"
"She's Dai Donglin's aunt. The second generation of the Dai family only had Dai Donglin's father and aunt, and the third generation only has him. Dai Qinxue pretended to be the daughter of the Dai family and tricked him into getting a divorce. Who would have thought that the real descendant of the Dai family was my boyfriend, Dai Donglin? Isn't that a coincidence?"
They say that stories don't happen without coincidences, but this was the first time Zhang Ying had ever heard of such a coincidence.
It's hard to imagine how bittersweet Chu Yu's father must feel when he learns the truth and has been swindled out of all his money!
Zhang Ying thought Chu Yu was a great girl in every way, except that she attracted a lot of trouble. There were always people around her who wanted to cause trouble. Xu Yiyi seemed nice, but according to Chu Yu, she was not a good person. Zhang Ying thought she had to keep an eye on Xu Yiyi for Chu Yu and prevent her from causing trouble for Chu Yu.
Final exams are coming up this weekend, and after this semester ends, Chu Yu will officially become a senior.
The first semester of senior year has very few classes, and the second semester is basically free. It seems easy, but you have to arrange your own internship and write a thesis, which is not an easy task.
This is, in fact, the last proper university exam.
While Chu Yu was planning for her classmates' final exams, Zhou Jian'an's electric fan business also saw a turning point.
When Cafu launched his retro electric fan for sale, it didn't initially receive much attention.
Cafu was once in despair, thinking he had made a mistake in his judgment, until the most famous hotel in the area adopted this ceiling fan for its decoration. The locals suddenly realized that this ceiling fan was not only stylish but also very space-saving.
Usually, after installing a ceiling fan, the installation of light bulbs becomes a problem.
It can be faked, but it lacks aesthetic appeal.
South America's economy is far ahead of China's. They not only value the practicality of items but also their aesthetics. This ceiling fan can enhance the decor, is inexpensive, and is particularly energy-efficient. In a time when energy conservation is emphasized throughout Europe and America, saving electricity is a trend.
Once something becomes popular, it quickly becomes a trend.
In addition, Kafu is the largest fan wholesaler in the area. With his help, orders for electric fans poured in. In just one week, he made five overseas calls to place additional orders, totaling 20,000 electric fans.
Zhou Jian'an was overjoyed and immediately arranged for workers to increase production.
"We'll arrange for workers to work the night shift, with two shifts, to ensure that orders are processed within the stipulated time."
The production efficiency of electric fans is not low, but the blades of this retro fan need to be specially customized. However, this is not a problem for Zhou Jian'an. He was in charge of various departments in the factory when he was in the mainland. Now that he is making money for himself, he is naturally more dedicated.
Previously, Mao Xia had always thought that Zhou Jian'an's abilities were limited, and that even after going to South America, he would not be able to get any orders. However, she never expected that after Zhou Jian'an returned, he received several phone calls, and many wholesalers in South America wanted to order retro-style decorative ceiling fans from him.
"Isn't this type of ceiling fan a slow-selling model? It's not popular in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Southeast Asia."
Mao Xia was right. Zhou Jian'an also had no hope for this ceiling fan. But he never expected that in South America, floor fans, table fans, and ordinary ceiling fans were not popular, but they were particularly fond of this retro-style ceiling fan.
"The local area has a popular retro decorating style. Our ceiling fan is integrated with a light bulb, so it can be used as a dining room light and also has the effect of a fan. It matches their popular decorating style and is loved by many people."
In just one week, Zhou Jian'an received orders worth millions. At this rate, the electric fan factory will soon break even!
She made money on her very first business venture; she truly is a business genius.
Mao Xia was overjoyed.
She picked up her newly bought Chanel bag, reapplied her lipstick, got into her sports car, and went out to have afternoon tea with her newly acquainted girlfriends.
As soon as the two left, Zhou Chufei emerged from the lounge. He went to the ledger, made some minor alterations, and then took 20,000 yuan in cash from his briefcase. After getting the money, Zhou Chufei patted the briefcase, packed it away neatly, and then took a taxi to a casino in Kowloon.
This casino offers a wide variety of gambling options, attracting a constant stream of gamblers. Recently, it introduced a new gambling method, drawing gamblers from all over the city.
Zhou Chufei didn't gamble, but he hadn't studied much. After arriving in Hong Kong, he couldn't speak Cantonese and wasn't fluent in English. When he went out, people called him "Mainland Boy" and looked at him with a flippant gaze and obvious scrutiny.
Zhou Chufei was insecure and sensitive. He could read everyone's eyes and knew that the unspoken meaning behind those eyes was contempt. After seeing such looks so many times, Zhou Chufei became numb.
Sometimes, he would miss life in Zhoujia Village. Back then, Shu Hui often disciplined him strictly, but Jiang Meifeng always protected him, never hitting or scolding him. Relying on being the only son of the Zhou family, he ate alone, shirked work, stole money from the family, and did all sorts of bad things.
Having abandoned Jiang Meifeng and come to Gangcheng with Zhou Jian'an, Zhou Chufei's unease was amplified. Walking on the streets of this international metropolis, Zhou Chufei felt no sense of belonging. He wanted to be as unrestrained as he was in Zhoujia Village, but no one here would indulge him.
If he dares to cause trouble, the police will send him back to the mainland.
If he dares to fight, the street thugs won't let him off just because he's the only son of the Zhou family.
If he dared to steal money, the gangsters who manage this area could chop off one of his hands before the police even come looking for him.
Hong Kong has its own jungle law, and Zhou Chufei has long since adapted to it. However, he also has many unsettled emotions. His father is busy with work, and his sister is only concerned with going out and seducing men. He is living a better life in Hong Kong than before, but he has lost the most basic happiness.
He wanted to bring that happiness back.
