After hearing Pei Ziheng's explanation, Zhuang Xu woke up from his dream, "You mean you want me to work in investment banking?"

"This is the only way for you to attract enough funds and return to the domestic market as quickly as possible. With your ability, if you choose to go into the real economy, you may not be able to restore the banker to the heights it was when your father was in power until the day you die."

"But I've never worked in investment banking, and I don't know much about the financial market. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

Although he was excited by Pei Ziheng's words, Zhuang Xu was also very self-aware.

Pei Ziheng looked at him and said, "Try to intern at HSBC headquarters for a while, learn about the operation of corporate finance and investment management, and find talents who can help you make money."

“As a boss, you don’t need to have strong working ability. Your biggest advantage is your resources and connections. If you don’t know how to do something, find employees who know how to do it for you. You just need to pay them generously after they complete the work.”

Zhuang Xu suddenly realized, "I will call my sister right away and ask her to arrange for me to join HSBC."

Ning is also one of the shareholders of HSBC, so it is easy for him to arrange someone to work at the headquarters.

Pei Ziheng showed his satisfaction that the scholar was teachable.

Due to limited time, Shen Mingzhu only stayed in London for two days. She met with friends she met during her study abroad, returned to Cambridge for a revisit, and then went to Eugene to visit Zhao Yun.

After not seeing him for a year, Zhao Yun has changed a lot.

He lost some weight, his facial features became deeper and more three-dimensional, and he looked much more stable.

From a sunny big boy, he has transformed into a manly, long-legged Oppa.

If this happened in later times, after dressing up and standing in front of the camera, I wonder how many women would be charmed by him.

However, this is on the premise that you don't speak.

His true colors were revealed as soon as he opened his mouth, with the corners of his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, making him just as silly as before.

"Aunt Mingzhu, you've gained weight!?"

Shen Mingzhu read it without replying and withdrew a smile.

"But she's still as beautiful as before, not looking old at all, hehe."

Shen Mingzhu nodded perfunctorily, leaving the space to the children. She went back to her room to rest and went into the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Although I am a little rounder than last year, I can't say I am fat, right? In the living room.

Pei Tang said to Zhao Yun with a serious face, "Brother Black Bear, don't say my mom is fat anymore.

"Why?"

"Mom doesn't like people calling her fat."

"Although Aunt Mingzhu is a little fat, she is still very beautiful."

"That can't be said. Anyway, you can't say the word fat."

Zhao Yun didn't understand but expressed his respect, "Okay, I won't say it anymore."

After not seeing each other for a year, the three siblings had endless things to talk about. They talked from noon to night. If Shen Mingzhu hadn't reminded them to take a break, they would have stayed up all night.

Although he was happy, Zhao Yun was also thinking about what Pei Ziheng had promised him.

In the middle of the night, while Shen Mingzhu and Pei Tang were asleep, he sneaked into Pei Ziheng's room.

"Ziheng, wake up."

Pei Ziheng, who was awakened from his sweet dream, stared at him as if he were a dead man: "You should be thankful that there is no gun under my pillow, otherwise I would definitely shoot you."

Zhao Yun said narcissistically: "You are the one who can't bear to part with it."

When she was about to get on the bed, Pei Ziheng kicked her away in disgust.

"Sit on the sofa."

Zhao Yun glared at him, "It's been a while since we last met, why don't we lie down together and talk?"

"I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with a man."

Zhao Yun was amused. "You mean, you want to sleep in the same bed with a woman? Are you secretly in love? Who is it? Do I know her?"

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, took the initiative and lay down on the bed, with his hands behind his head and his long legs crossed, looking playful.

"I've been waiting for you for a whole year. When are you going to fulfill your promise?"

Pei Ziheng looked at him and said, "Here he comes."

Zhao Yun turned over and sat up on the bed, "Are you serious?"

"Which team do you want to join?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course the top ten teams are the best, and if that's not possible, the top 20 will do."

Pei Ziheng didn't comment, "Pick one, I'll take you to discuss the tryout tomorrow."

Every June, each NBA team will select their favorite players through the NBA Rookie Game based on their own needs and strategies.

Those players who are not selected can join the NBA team through tryouts and train with other players for a period of time. If both parties are satisfied after the tryout, they can also sign a team contract.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

This year's NBA rookie draft has ended. If Zhao Yun wants to join the team, he can either wait until next year or participate in the tryout.

Zhao Yun chose the SEAL team, which ranked eighth last season.

The SEALs have always lacked strong guards, and he is best at shooting and three-pointers. He is confident that he can carve out a place in the SEALs.

After choosing the target, Pei Ziheng prepared to take Zhao Yun to Los Angeles.

The SEALs are part of the Pacific Division and are headquartered in Los Angeles.

There was a little incident before I went there.

Zhao Yun is currently still a student at a basketball academy and cannot contact NBA teams privately. He needs to apply to the school and obtain approval first.

This is actually not difficult, it’s just a matter of following a procedure.

Just fill out the recommendation form, get the head coach’s signature, and get the school’s stamp of approval and you’re done.

But head coach William is a racist person. He has always looked down on people of color like Zhao Yun and always finds ways to suppress them.

Upon learning that Zhao Yun was going to the team for an interview and tryout, William not only mocked and ridiculed him, but also refused to sign the recommendation form.

In his own words: releasing a poorly performing student like Zhao Yun would completely discredit the basketball academy.

Zhao Yun was so angry that he almost fought with William.

In the end, it was Pei Ziheng who stepped in to resolve the matter.

"What did you say to that idiot that made him sign it?"

After leaving the basketball academy, Zhao Yun asked out of his curiosity.

William was absolutely unwilling to sign the recommendation form, but after Pei Ziheng called him aside and said a few words to him, he turned around and signed the form neatly.

"I told him that if he didn't sign, I would send the photos of him having an affair with his sister-in-law to his wife."

Zhao Yun's eyes widened. "How did you know about this?"

Pei Ziheng said succinctly, "I never fight a battle without preparation when I hire a private detective to investigate."

Zhao Yun felt a little regretful. "Damn it, he got it right. I should send the photos of him having an affair with his sister-in-law to all his relatives, so that everyone knows what kind of person he is."

Pei Ziheng curled his lips, "I only said not to publish the photos of him having an affair with his sister-in-law, but I didn't say not to publish the evidence of him having a one-night stand with the nanny, my daughter's history teacher, or outside."

Zhao Yun almost burst into laughter, "Good boy, the evidence is collected very comprehensively."

"It took a year and a half, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun’s smile froze.

Wasn’t it a year and a half ago that he first complained to Pei Ziheng about being treated unfairly by William?

At that time, Pei Ziheng warned him to "accumulate strength and then release it, and proceed steadily to achieve long-term success", but he did not expect that he was secretly planning for him behind the scenes. (End of this chapter)
