Before going out to make money tomorrow, Zhou Yexuan still has to take care of today's dinner.
Although the current dinner can make Shen Qingqing and the others full, but after the mother and son cried so hard, Zhou Yexuan always felt that he was a bit useless if he let them eat porridge and vegetables...
And Shen Qingqing had indeed lost too much blood today, so she needed to supplement some protein and iron. In short, she had to eat meat.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said to Shen Qingqing, "How about this, you eat half full first to fill your stomach, and I'll think of a solution."
In fact, Shen Qingqing was just a little mentally broken before, and did not expect Zhou Yexuan to really buy her meat.
What's more, even if Zhou Yexuan was willing, she would not do it. After all, they had very little money now, and accidents happened from time to time.
So she slowly drank the porridge and ate the vegetables again.
Zhou Yexuan on the side was swiping his phone quickly and began to think. The remaining money had to be used as a reserve fund for tomorrow's business, so he could not touch it. He could only think of a way to find free food first.
He quickly thought back to his past experiences and soon remembered the sales at the supermarket before closing time in the evening.
In particular, some high-standard fresh food supermarkets will eliminate a large number of unsaleable foods in order to ensure the taste of the food. These foods are not expired, but are not in the best consumption period, and he just happens to know such a supermarket.
So when it was half past eight in the evening, just when Shen Qingqing thought she could pack up and go to bed, Zhou Yexuan suddenly said to Shen Qingqing, "Do you want to have a free meal? If you want, follow me."
Shen Qingqing had basically recovered her health at this time, and since she had been sleeping in bed most of the day, she didn't want to go to bed directly for the time being.
Although Shen Qingqing felt that Zhou Yexuan's words were not very credible, what if this bastard really had some abilities?
She licked her lips. She had to admit that she really wanted to eat meat. She felt like her mouth was about to become dry.
Thinking of this, she raised her chin towards Zhou Yexuan and asked curiously, "Of course I want to eat it. Do you have a solution?"
Zhou Yexuan smiled, "Of course, then follow me."
It was already getting late, and Shen Qingqing and her family were a little hesitant about whether to take the children with them. Taking safety issues and Zhou Jiayan's strong request into consideration, they finally went out as a family of three.
The audience in the live broadcast room were delighted to see the family dressed neatly and going out in high spirits late at night.
[Where are they going as a family of three? What does Mr. Zhou mean by this? ]
[Free meal? Are they planning to rob?]
[Or maybe Mr. Zhou was planning to abuse his power for personal gain and had his subordinates prepare in advance.]
[Upstairs, this is against the program team's rules. ]
[But have you forgotten that Zhou is the sponsor of the program? Maybe Xu Gou will turn a blind eye. ]
[Although I also think the production team is a bit of a rip-off, it would be pretty disgusting if they really secretly let the show go.]
Soon, the family of three went downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the community.
Zhou Yexuan said to Shen Qingqing, "The place is a little far, you wait here, I will come to pick you up soon."
Because it was summer and this was still a bustling old town, there were quite a few people on the street.
Shen Qingqing thought Zhou Yexuan meant to take a taxi. While she was still thinking that the taxi fare was also a "huge sum of money", she saw Zhou Yexuan riding a shared bicycle towards them not far away.
The shared bike seemed a little small for Zhou Yexuan's height, so he could even land on it with both feet. Therefore, he stopped the bike in an extremely handsome posture, tilted his head, and said, "Get on board, I'll treat you to a free meal."
[Hahaha, this should be the cheapest car Mr. Zhou has ever driven in his life.]
[I am disillusioned. Mr. Zhou was so confident before. I thought he could get a free luxury car.]
[I have a feeling that the feast that Mr. Zhou mentioned will also be unexpected.]
[I didn’t expect Mr. Zhou to be so down-to-earth. I thought a boss like him wouldn’t even look at a shared bike.]
Shen Qingqing didn't expect that this bike was actually a shared bike, and she was shocked.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Yexuan sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. Taxi rides are still a bit expensive. I have to save some money for tomorrow. As you said, poor couples have many sorrows. Let's just make do with it."
Zhou Jiayan was very excited because he had never ridden a bicycle before and everything was new to him. He took the lead and grabbed Zhou Yexuan's trouser legs, "Dad, where should Yanyan sit? Hurry and carry me up."
Both the father and son were so excited that Shen Qingqing had no choice but to agree. She hadn't ridden a bicycle for a long time.
The last time she recalled was when her father in her previous life took her to dance class as a child. She didn't remember riding a bicycle well. It was hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and she really didn't like it. Of course, what she hated even more was being forced to take a dance class she hated.
Shen Qingqing sighed and finally sat diagonally on the back seat of the bicycle, while Zhou Jiayan sat on the diagonal bar of the bicycle.
After the bicycle started, Zhou Jiayan's curly hair was blown up by the night wind, but he was very excited and shouted, "Wow, awesome, Dad, ride faster, go!"
Zhou Yexuan rode harder when he heard his son's encouragement.
Compared to the children's enjoyment, Shen Qingqing, sitting in the back seat of the car, only felt the hot summer wind mixed with the car exhaust blowing on her face. It was just as uncomfortable as she remembered.
She hesitated for a while but couldn't help but said, "I don't know if you have heard the saying that it is better to cry in a luxury car than to laugh on a bicycle. Now I understand a little bit."
Zhou Jiayan was still young and didn't understand the meaning of Shen Qingqing's words, but Zhou Yexuan understood Shen Qingqing's meaning in a second. Was he being disliked again...
Zhou Yexuan felt a little depressed. He was indeed in a bit of a mess right now, but this was also forced by the situation and not his real strength. He would be able to make money by tomorrow at the latest!
But before that, he felt that he still had to find a way to get back at the party.
After a while, he finally came up with a solution and said casually, "The price per order of shared cars is still a bit expensive. I think for people with higher credit ratings, we can use 0 yuan promotion to attract people on the first order. How about this? I will give them some suggestions tomorrow."
Shen Qingqing was confused. What was he doing? Why was he suddenly talking about investment? Who was he showing off to?
The place Zhou Yexuan was going was not far. After ten minutes or so, he stopped at his destination, which was a high-end supermarket.
Shen Qingqing was a little surprised. She walked a few steps to Zhou Yexuan and whispered, "You don't have shares in this supermarket, and you gave us a heads up in advance or something. If that's the case, Xu Xiang will definitely find out and disagree."
Zhou Yexuan shook his head and said, "Believe me, I don't have any special privileges. I am just with the people."
Seeing Zhou Yexuan's confident look, Shen Qingqing said nothing more.
So Zhou Yexuan led them around in circles and came to a secret exit, where several elderly ladies were standing.
After a while, they saw a man in a supermarket employee uniform dragging a large garbage bag out. After the staff left, the aunties who had been waiting there rushed over and started picking and choosing.
At this time, Zhou Yexuan also took a few steps forward and started to choose with the aunts.
[What is Mr. Zhou doing? Is he picking up trash with the aunties? ]
[Does this count as me picking up trash to support you in real life? ]
[What kind of situation have the program crew pushed people into! ]
However, after a few minutes, everyone saw that Zhou Yexuan had several plastic boxes in his hands, and the boxes contained roast chicken, cakes, etc., and they were well packaged, and there was no sign of anything being damaged.
[Oh my god, what's going on? These foods look well packaged and not spoiled, but they were thrown directly into the trash? ]
[What a waste! Which supermarket is this? I want to block them.]
[It's such a waste of food. It's outrageous. ]
Shen Qingqing also saw this scene and was shocked. On the one hand, she was shocked that Zhou Yexuan was "picking up trash", and on the other hand, she was shocked that there were so many delicious-looking foods.
She couldn't help but step forward and touch it, and she found that the roast chicken in Zhou Yexuan's hand was still hot! At the same time, she lowered her head and saw that there was still a lot of food in the black garbage bag, many of which were sealed in boxes, and some were even still warm.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't these foods still good? Why did the supermarket throw them away? This is such a waste."
Zhou Jiayan's little head couldn't figure out this question. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was taught by Zhou Yexuan to cherish food since he was a child. He also asked, "This is too much of a waste of the farmers' labor. This is not good."
As Zhou Yexuan was selecting, he patiently explained, "Because the best tasting time has passed, and the supermarket is about to close, these foods can't be kept until tomorrow. If customers buy them, they will complain, so they can only be thrown away."
That's a reason. But Shen Qingqing still had a lot of questions. "Can't these be sold at a discount? The unsold ones can be donated to welfare institutions or something, which is better than throwing them away directly. There are still so many people in the world who can't afford to eat, I think they won't mind the taste problem. And how do you know that supermarkets will throw away a lot of food at this point?"
Zhou Yexuan shook his head. "The supermarket has naturally discounted some of the food, but there are still many that cannot be sold. As for sending it to the welfare home, Qingqing, have you considered the transportation cost? Moreover, it is very likely that the food will be improperly stored during transportation, and what if it is spoiled when it is delivered? If the elderly or children eat the spoiled food, who should bear the responsibility? Throwing it away directly is the simplest and most cost-effective method for the supermarket."
"As for why I know this, of course it's because I worked here before. When I returned to China, the job I took over from my father was this high-end supermarket chain. In order to understand the most basic operation of the supermarket, I worked as a supermarket clerk here for two months."
[Mr. Zhou actually worked here before, no wonder. ]
[I had always thought that Mr. Zhou must have come from a high-ranking position, but I didn’t expect that he actually started from the grassroots. ]
[Success is really not accidental, and it is not easy for Mr. Zhou. 】
Shen Qingqing suddenly understood something. No wonder Zhou Yexuan was so familiar with this.
She couldn't help but admit that Zhou Yexuan was right. Although she knew rationally that this was reasonable, emotionally it was still difficult for her to accept it.
She said gloomily, "Ah, this reminds me of pouring milk in my middle school textbook. Alas, shameless capitalists."
Capitalist Zhou Yexuan couldn't help but feel like he was shot in the knee. He seemed to be called shameless by Shen Qingqing again.
He felt that he could not take the blame without saying a word, and explained, "I have tried to solve this problem, but my ability is limited. The problems caused by capitalist society over hundreds of years are not something I can solve. I can only rely on technology to solve them."
He thought that Shen Qingqing should shut up at this point, but he didn't expect Shen Qingqing to just look at him with an indescribable look and then look away.
Then she looked at the child standing at her feet and said, "Yanyan, did you hear me? This matter can only be solved by you young people in the future. Yanyan must remember to be a conscientious entrepreneur in the future."
Zhou Jiayan nodded heavily when he heard this. Since his stepmother trusted him so much and believed that he could solve problems that his father couldn't, he naturally had to support her.
He patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, Yanyan will work hard."
Only then did Shen Qingqing nod with satisfaction.
Zhou Jiayan, who was watching this scene from the side, wondered why he was being dragged down again?
At this time, an old lady standing by to select food was very dissatisfied when she saw that he had so much spoils. She shook her head and said, "What kind of person is this? He is so young, but he actually came to compete with us old people for these lost free food. It's really shameful."
As she spoke, the old lady patted Shen Qingqing on the shoulder and said, "Girl, let me tell you, I know you are young and you value love, and you think love is enough, but as a person who has been through it, I tell you that when choosing a man, you still have to see if he has the ability, and don't just believe him because he says a few nice words. I believed the nice words of my old man, so now I come to the supermarket to pick up discarded food at such an old age. You are still young and beautiful, it is not too late to turn back."
[Auntie is really fierce. She urged Shen Qingqing to find another man in front of Mr. Zhou.]
[If I didn’t know their true identities, I would think what the aunt said makes sense. ]
[Girls really need to consider their financial situation before getting married. Marriage is not just about love. ]
[On Mr. Zhou's life of being unloved. He finally found a free meal for his wife and children, but was attacked by his wife as a heartless black-hearted capitalist, and then attacked by the aunt as a loser. How miserable.]
In the past, Shen Qingqing would definitely help Zhou Yexuan explain that it was just an accident, but today, she felt uncomfortable all over when she thought of the "cold" words Zhou Yexuan had just said.
So she nodded, sighed and said, "Auntie, you are right, I will consider it. Besides, it's okay for me to suffer a little, but my child can't bear it. It's really hard for me to bring my child to rummage through the trash can at this late hour."
After hearing what Shen Qingqing said, the old lady looked at Zhou Yexuan with even more contempt. After a long while, she said, "I'm glad that you can figure this out, little girl. It's just that it's a bit difficult since you already have a son. But it doesn't matter. Your child is cute and smart, and there will definitely be a good man willing to marry him."
Zhou Yexuan found this scene somewhat amusing. Without mentioning the truth of the incident, was it really okay for them to discuss "cheating" in front of her husband?
Fortunately, Zhou Jiayan was a reliable person. When he heard that the grandmother actually wanted to instigate Shen Qingqing to remarry with him, he immediately became angry. He frowned and said to the aunt, "Bad grandmother, don't destroy our family happiness. My father is the most powerful father in the world, and my mother loves my father very much. She will never divorce. Just give up on this idea!"
Seeing his son working so hard, Zhou Yexuan wanted to hug Zhou Jiayan and kiss him twice.
As for Shen Qingqing, she may not care what Zhou Yexuan thinks, but she still cares about this little kid Zhou Jiayan.
Zhou Jiayan's reaction was so intense that she couldn't joke around anymore. She hugged the kid in her arms and said to the aunt, "Auntie, you've seen it too. The kid still thinks his biological dad is the best. And my husband is still young after all, and he's willing to work hard for our family's future, so I thought about it and decided to give him another chance."
The old lady saw the attitudes of the mother and child, and then looked at the child's angry expression. She knew that if she continued talking, she would get nothing good, so she immediately took her things and left.
Although she was a little jealous of the food Zhou Yexuan found, her harvest today was also rich, so she decided not to make things more complicated.
After the old lady left, Zhou Yexuan looked at Shen Qingqing with a half-smile, "Should I thank you for giving me another chance?"
Shen Qingqing knew that she had just tricked Zhou Yexuan, but even if she really explained to the aunt that they were recording a show, the aunt would not believe it.
So she said without any guilt, "That's not necessary, but you really should work hard to earn money to support the family tomorrow. I don't want to pick up trash anymore."
At this time, Zhou Jiayan, who was still in Shen Qingqing's arms, also poked his head out and looked at Zhou Yexuan with his big watery eyes, "Dad, although the free food is good. But Yanyan doesn't want to come tomorrow. If you come again, you will definitely be disliked by other grandmas as a loser."
Under the double "oppression" of his wife and children, Zhou Yexuan, who had almost never taken a leave and earned tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a day, did not go to the company for the first time.
After making breakfast and sending Zhou Jiayan to kindergarten with Shen Qingqing, he went home and began to think about how to earn enough money to cover the expenses of their family of three in the next few days.
As for Shen Qingqing, although she still had some difficulty in moving today, she had basically returned to normal. However, seeing that someone was working hard to find ways to make money for her, she was naturally happy and relieved.
How can working hard to make money be as relaxing as just sitting at home and doing nothing? And with Zhou Yexuan's ability, he shouldn't be unable to make money, right?
And with Zhou Yexuan around, she didn't even have to worry about lunch, as Zhou Yexuan took care of it all. Plus, she would whimper from time to time and complain that she was still feeling unwell, so Shen Qingqing could be said to be living a life of having everything provided for her.
[Mr. Zhou is still naive. I think Shen Qingqing is quite normal when he is not around.]
[Shen Qingqing is having a great time. I see other mothers in other live streaming rooms are all worried and exhausted, but she doesn’t have to do anything]
[Is it possible that Mr. Zhou found out, but pretended not to find out and showed off his affection to everyone? ]
Zhou Yexuan did not realize that Shen Qingqing had basically returned to normal. After "serving" Shen Qingqing to finish her lunch, he went out and began to observe.
There are mostly old residential areas around here, basically local elderly people with their children. The best-selling items are naturally children-related things, small toys, stationery and so on.
So Zhou Yexuan quickly set his sights on children's items, but his capital was limited, only about a hundred yuan, which was not enough even to set up a street stall, and he certainly could not wholesale a large number of toys like many legitimate businesses.
Finally, Zhou Yexuan set his sights on "ring tossing". The unit price of each ring tossing was low, but the chance of hitting empty was extremely high, which meant that he didn't need to prepare so many toys and the cost would be much lower.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yexuan felt that his plan was very reasonable, so he began to act. Of course, the first thing he did was to buy toys that the children liked. There happened to be a wholesale market nearby.
Today, Zhou Jiayan was still accompanied by his parents to the kindergarten, so he was in a very good mood. He even smiled kindly when he saw Xu Cheng, who was hostile and eyeing him.
However, Xu Cheng, who was standing by, felt a chill down his spine when he saw this. In his mind, this handsome boy who suddenly appeared was very scheming. Not only did he defeat him physically, but he also won the love of all the teachers.
He smiled at me so kindly, he must have thought of a way to deal with me!
Zhou Jiayan didn't know what Xu Cheng was thinking, and he didn't even take Xu Cheng seriously. In his opinion, Xu Cheng was just a childish kid, and as long as he didn't bully other kids in the class, he wouldn't bother with him.
Moreover, there are many more students in this class than in his previous class. Therefore, he is always surrounded by all kinds of chattering little girls.
He felt a little upset, but he considered himself a little gentleman and couldn't do anything that would make the little girls sad, so he could only deal with them patiently.
However, Xu Cheng, who was always watching Zhou Jiayan, began to have doubts in his heart again.
This Zhou Jiayan was deliberately showing off to him that he was popular with little girls. He must have known that the little girls in the class didn’t like him!
Thinking of this, Xu Cheng decided to strike first!
He gathered a few of his "men" and started whispering to each other.
Although Zhou Jiayan did not take Xu Cheng seriously, it did not mean that he lacked vigilance against Xu Cheng. He had long felt that Xu Cheng was secretly watching him from time to time, especially when he called a few "subordinates" to whisper together. Zhou Jiayan judged in his heart that they must have bad ideas.
If Xu Cheng was alone, Zhou Jiayan was still very confident that he could deal with him, but if there were a few more children of the same age, Zhou Jiayan would not be so confident.
But he was not afraid, after all, there were teachers in the kindergarten, right?
If that doesn't work, he will act like a good boy and report all their little actions to the teacher!
Soon it was time for nap in the kindergarten again. Before that, Zhou Jiayan had been on guard against Xu Cheng and others causing trouble, but surprisingly, they had not taken any action until now.
Zhou Jiayan felt a little strange. Could it be that he really had misunderstood them?
Forget it, let’s just take a nap first. After that, in a few hours, mom and dad will come to pick him up from school.
Compared to his previous life where he was picked up and dropped off by a luxury car every day, Zhou Jiayan feels that the current life is better, even though he needs to walk to school and there are even more chattering and childish children around him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiayan came to his little bed with a round belly after lunch, intending to take off his shoes and climb into bed for a nap.
He ate quickly and happily, so he was one of the first to go back to the lounge to sleep.
However, the moment before he climbed onto the bed, he keenly discovered that there was a bulge under his small mattress.
His alarm bells immediately rang. He carefully turned over the mattress and saw a half-deflated red balloon filled with water.
No need to ask, this must have been done by Xu Cheng and others!
Zhou Jiayan felt speechless. He didn't understand what the point of such revenge was. What was the point of wetting his little bed?
But even though he was complaining in his heart, Zhou Jiayan certainly didn't intend to just accept it. He carefully looked around and found that no other children were looking at him.
He smiled silently and decided to retaliate in Xu Cheng's own way! So he took out the balloon filled with water, hid it in his clothes, and walked carefully to Xu Cheng's bed.
Xu Cheng's bed was only one bed away from his, so he quickly walked to Xu Cheng's bed, and then he stuffed the balloons under Xu Cheng's mattress.
Then he pretended to ignore what happened, returned to his bed as usual, took off his little shoes, got on the bed, covered himself with a soft quilt, and planned to have a good sleep.
Of course, his self-proclaimed secretive actions were all recorded on camera.
[Yanyan is so cute. I thought his personality would be reported to the teacher, but I didn’t expect this to happen.]
[Is this a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine? ]
[That Xu Cheng is too much. He even wants to wet Yanyanzi's bed. ]
[Not only the bed, but if Yanyan lies on it for a long time, the balloon will definitely burst, and his clothes and pants will also get wet.]
【Children nowadays are too naughty. Fortunately, Yanyan is smart.】
[But I'm worried that if he does this, the kid might blame him.]
[It doesn’t matter, it was all recorded anyway, and the netizens in our live broadcast room are all witnesses.]
Then Zhou Jiayan closed his eyes, but he could still hear the children around him coming in one after another, and he also heard Xu Cheng's voice.
However, compared to Xu Cheng's loud voice before, Xu Cheng was much quieter today. After talking back to the teacher for a few words, he stopped talking and climbed directly onto his little bed, ready to go to sleep.
Zhou Jiayan, who had been a little drowsy, now woke up and listened with his ears pricked up.
Apparently, Xu Cheng was not as careful as he was and discovered something hidden on the mattress. Soon he lay directly on the small bed, covered himself with a quilt, and looked like he was going to sleep.
Zhou Jiayan was puzzled. Is this the end? Didn't he release the balloon filled with water? If so, wouldn't he have harmed him by placing the balloon on his bed?
However, Xu Cheng's actions soon made Zhou Jiayan realize that he had not wronged a good person.
About five minutes later, when all the children had gone to bed and the room had returned to silence, he heard Xu Cheng suddenly stand up, raise his hand, and say to the teacher, "Teacher, I just saw Zhou Jiayan wet the bed, please go and check on him."
