Chapter 259
Jiang Meishu nodded, "The gifts we prepared are indeed useless."
Who would have thought that the gift Liang Rui prepared was somewhat disliked by her and Liang Qiurun, and they each prepared a separate gift.
result.
Their gifts were rejected, but Liang Rui's gift was kept. I can only say that people are really different.
Liang Qiurun also learned a lesson from this experience, "In the future, we should consider more aspects when giving gifts.
Jiang Meishu nodded.
Qiao Jiahui's mouth dropped open. "No wonder Professor Ming threw out the gift my third sister gave me. It must have been too expensive."
"People want cheap goods."
This sounds weird, but it's true.
Jiang Meishu pointed out directly, "Professor Ming didn't want a cheap item, he just didn't want a gift. Didn't you see that? He didn't want to accept the gift at all. Liang Rui's words were sincere and heartfelt. Furthermore, the gift wasn't from a student, but from a friend of Professor Ming. That's why he accepted it."
Qiao Jiahui sighed, "This is also why Hong Kong University has been able to survive. Some of these professors love to accept gifts, but most are like Professor Ming, who are all tough guys."
But he could not deny that it was Professor Ming, such a tough guy, who supported the reputation of Hong Kong University.
Jiang Meishu agreed very much. While Liang Rui was talking to Professor Ming inside, Jiang Meishu took a walk around Hong Kong University.
This is her first time here.
Looking at the towering teaching building and the youthful faces.
For the first time, Jiang Meishu felt something like, "Lao Liang, we seem to be getting old."
Liang Qiurun held her hand and said, "It's not that we are old, it's that these children have grown up."
Jiang Meishu's mood instantly improved after hearing this. "Yes, they have grown up, and we have grown up too."
That's why she felt envious when she saw the youthful atmosphere blowing towards her.
Liang Qiurun touched his head and said, "We are doing well now. They are too young and are still in the uncertain stage of life. It is not like us where everything is predetermined and we just have to keep moving forward."
All I can say is that youth at the age of twenty is infinitely beautiful, but the future is uncertain.
Thirty years old is the prime of life, and career is booming.
Each has its own advantages.
There is no need to envy each other.
Jiang Meishu hummed softly. After walking around the school, Liang Rui also met with the tutor and confirmed the details.
He first took the dormitory key. Graduate students at Hong Kong University are not required to live in the dormitory. Liang Rui just took a look at the key and thought it was okay.
So he drove out with Jiang Meishu, Liang Qiurun and others to buy bedding.
They were not as familiar with this thing as Qiao Jiahui, and they didn't know where Qiao Jiahui took them. Anyway, the bedding they bought in the end was very expensive.
The sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases cost more than a thousand yuan. Although Jiang Meishu felt distressed, she changed her mind and thought that if the bedding was cheap, it would not be comfortable to sleep on.
So I gritted my teeth and ordered three sets.
"Why so much?"
Liang Rui was a little surprised.
Jiang Meishu argued confidently, "I'll arrange a dorm for you. Also, isn't there a building called Xiangjing Building in front of your school? I have a house there. Your dad and I don't usually stay there much, so I'll buy you an extra set of bedding and replace the original sheets and quilt covers. You can live there from now on."
"If you don't want to live in the dormitory and want to be alone and quiet, you can live there."
"The house basically has everything. Except for the bed, which needs to be replaced, everything else is basically ready to move in."
This house belongs to Jiang Meishu. After she bought a house for the second time, she kept one for herself and did not rent it out.
However, she originally planned to keep the house for herself, and she didn't expect Liang Rui to come to Hong Kong to study. So, Liang Rui might come to this house more often than she did.
This is better than nothing.
Liang Rui was stunned for a long time, "Do we have a house in Hong Kong?"
He has no idea about such a big thing.
"Yes." Jiang Meishu said, "Anyway, as long as there's a place to stay, why are you asking so many questions?"
After she bought the three-piece set, she paid three thousand five hundred yuan. After paying, she thought to herself that she was really rich. She actually spent one thousand yuan to buy a four-piece bedding set in the 1980s.
Sure enough, people like to make things when they have money.
Seeing that she bought an extra set, Liang Rui didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Liang Qiurun's eyes deepened, lingered on the lotus pink bed sheet for a moment, and then curled her lips.
After buying some daily necessities, Qiao Jiahui said goodbye. Since he was returning to Hong Kong, he would definitely go back to the Qiao family to visit his mother and sister.
Of course, there is no need to disturb the reunion of Jiang Meishu and her family of three.
As soon as Qiao Jiahui left, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun spoke more naturally. "Let's go. I'll take you to see our new home. If your father and I don't come, you'll be the king of the family."
Liang Rui's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he went with them after all, as Xiangjing Building was still some distance away from their school.
It took fifteen minutes to drive there. If Liang Rui had taken the bus, it would have taken about half an hour.
Ten kilometers doesn’t count, but it’s not close either.
When they arrived at the place, the car stopped downstairs of the residential complex. Liang Rui looked around curiously. The residential complex of Xiangjing Building was well built, and unlike the bungalows and courtyard houses in the capital, the houses here were all seven to ten-story buildings.
This made Liang Rui dazzled. "Houses here are not cheap, right?"
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, I bought it cheaply at that time, 1,800 yuan per square meter, so it probably cost me tens of thousands of yuan."
She led Liang Rui upstairs, and Liang Qiurun followed behind. However, when they reached the door of the fifth floor, Jiang Meishu was about to open the door when the door opposite opened.
The person who came out was Director Chen, who had changed his name to Chen Jinshan.
He has now grown his hair long and tied it into a low ponytail, which makes him look very artistic. Of course, his directorial temperament is also becoming more and more obvious.
"Ms. Jiang?"
When Chen Jinshan saw Jiang Meishu, he was stunned for a moment, "You're here? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could pick you up at the station."
After meeting Jiang Meishu, Chen Jinshan went from being a box office poison to a box office champion.
In just over a year, he became Hong Kong's new box office director, and his voice in the film industry was also very important.
And all this is because of the lady in front of me.
Therefore, Chen Jinshan feels a sense of gratitude towards Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. She nodded at Chen Jinshan and said, "Director Chen, we decided to come here to send our children to study at midnight."
"Children studying?"
Chen Jinshan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liang Qiurun and Liang Rui. Liang Qiurun had a gentle face and a calm demeanor, and he looked to be over thirty years old.
That's another one.
He looked at Liang Rui, who was taller than him and looked quite large.
Chen Jinshan's mouth twitched, "Meilan, you are so young, and you have such a big son."
You really can't tell, if he met Jiang Meishu on the street and told her that she was a single girl, he would believe it.
Jiang Meishu touched her face and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I don't look old."
She pulled Liang Rui and said, "Come here, Liang Rui, this is your Uncle Chen, a famous director in the Hong Kong circle. Come and meet him."
Liang Rui didn't expect that during the time he was away, his mother had met so many people, and they were all such powerful people.
Liang Rui suppressed the shock in his heart and called out politely, "Uncle Chen."
Chen Jinshan subconsciously touched his body and found that he didn't bring any gifts, so he took off the watch on his wrist and said, "This is a gift for you when we first meet."
"Don't think Uncle Chen has worn it before. It's a new watch I just bought last week."
Chen Jinshan would not have played with these things before. He was so poor at that time that he couldn't even afford to eat. This is why he made three hit movies in a row, and the fourth and fifth ones are still waiting for his approval.
The meaning here is naturally different.
Liang Rui hesitated and didn't take it. Instead, he went to see Jiang Meishu. Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Since it's given by the elders, then let's take it."
She smiled and said, "I already owe your Uncle Chen one million, so I don't need a watch."
"What?"
Liang Rui was shocked when he heard this, "Our family owes Uncle Chen one million?!"
This number was simply shocking to Liang Rui. He had only seen this number on paper in his life.
After all, who made him study business?
Jiang Meishu said lightly, "Yes, I owe your Uncle Chen more than one million, I also owe your Aunt Li over six hundred thousand, and I also owe your aunt over three hundred thousand."
"Anyway, my family owed a total of more than two million yuan before. Now that we've paid some of it back, the foreign debt is not much anymore."
Liang Rui added up the numbers quickly, and when he finished calculating, he found that his family still owed two million in debt. So this was what Jiang Meishu meant by "not much"?
Liang Rui broke out in a cold sweat. "I owe so much money. When will I be able to pay it back?"
After all, he still has the mindset of a child. Even when it comes to making money, he still wants to set up a stall. After all, he can make hundreds of dollars in one night by setting up a stall.
For Liang Rui, this is simply a shocking debt.
Who would have thought that he had just come to Hong Kong to study for a master's degree and thought that he would benefit from his parents' influence and reach the peak of his life.
As a result, the rich second generation became the negative second generation.
Liang Rui was in despair for a moment, "Can we ever pay it back in this lifetime?"
Jiang Meishu glanced at him and said, "Of course I have to. Your father and I are making money, and with you, when you graduate, our family will have another main source of income."
Liang Rui didn't say anything.
Jiang Meishu was also afraid of putting too much pressure on him, so she said, "Your Uncle Chen allowed us to repay the loan in installments. Let's pay it back slowly first. Don't put too much pressure on you."
How could Liang Rui not be under great pressure? He felt his hands burning as he carried the bags in his hands. "Why don't we return all these daily necessities?"
Especially that four-figure four-piece bedding set, he really doesn't deserve it.
Especially when he knew that there was still so much debt owed outside, he felt that there was something wrong.
I owe so much money, and I still bought such an expensive four-piece set.
Are you planning to throw the jar into chaos?
When Jiang Meishu heard him say he wanted to return the goods, the corners of her mouth twitched. "Alright, alright, if there are too many lice, you won't be afraid of them biting you. Anyway, I already owe you the money, so I don't mind buying something for you. Just keep it."
Liang Rui then took the watch Chen Jinshan gave him. He didn't know the value of it, but Jiang Meishu knew it was a Rolex.
It costs tens of thousands.
It seems that the stingy Director Chen has really made a fortune.
"Director Chen, thank you on behalf of my child."
Chen Jinshan shook his head. "It's nothing. Meilan, if you're free, I'd like to ask you to look at two scripts. I'm currently preparing for my fourth film, which will be released during the Spring Festival. I have two scripts and I'm not sure which one to choose. I'd like you to help me decide."
From the tone of his voice, it can be seen that he respects Jiang Meishu's opinion very much, which makes Liang Rui secretly shocked.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we have to wait. I'll make arrangements for the child's schooling first, and then I'll come find you."
Chen Jinshan nodded. "I moved across from your house specifically to wait for you. Feel free to come find me when you have time."
"It just so happens that I'm not on the set during this period."
"I'm basically refining the script at home."
"You can come to me at night. Night is when I'm most inspired."
Liang Qiurun's face darkened when he heard this. "It might be inconvenient at night, so let's go during the day."
It was only at this time that Chen Jinshan realized that he had made an appointment with a married man to meet him in the evening.
It's indeed not appropriate.
He said in a low voice with a look of shame on his face, "I didn't think it through. It depends on when you are free, Meilan. I'm fine with anything. If you come to see me tonight, you must bring your husband with you, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself even if I have a hundred mouths."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu pinched Liang Qiurun before agreeing.
After Chen Jinshan left, Liang Rui touched the watch on his wrist, almost crying, "Dad, how much money do we owe?"
Liang Qiurun glanced at him calmly, "I didn't ask you to pay back the money, why are you so anxious?"
How could Liang Rui not be anxious?
The admission procedures have not been completed yet, and suddenly, the family owes millions of dollars in debt.
This is not a few hundred, a few thousand, or tens of thousands of dollars.
That's millions.
Liang Rui gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back."
"Forget it. From now on, I will go out to work every month during my vacation and try to earn back this money."
Jiang Meishu chuckled, "Alright, alright, Liang Rui, don't put so much pressure on me. Look, I owe your Uncle Chen one million, but he's not in a hurry to ask me for it. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Because I have a certain percentage of the profits from his film company. If I can't pay it back, the worst that can happen is that I will just compensate him with my film profits."
"So he's not worried about me not being able to pay it back, so why are you worried?"
"Liang Rui, just be at ease. There will be a lot of such things in the future. Your father and I may have to borrow tens of millions from the bank. If you know this, how can we still live?"
Liang Rui, “…”
No, he always thought that his family was well-off. His father's salary was more than 200 yuan, which was considered first-tier level in the capital.
How come they have been in Guangzhou for three or four years?
The unit of calculation suddenly changed from hundred to million.
Who can accept this?
Liang Rui swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why did you borrow so much money?"
Jiang Meishu said as a matter of course, "Of course it's business."
Liang Rui said, "Why don't you study business? I feel like I'm nothing compared to you guys."
In business textbooks, the unit of calculation is not millions.
But his parents are.
