Chapter 150
"What are you mumbling about?"
Zhen Zhen looked over and saw her son and daughter-in-law standing at the entrance in a sneaky manner. She said unhappily:
"Daguo, Huilan, Juanjuan's father is here, come over and meet him!"
Meng Eryong finally reacted, "Juanjuan's father? He's not your mistress?"
"Who? Whose mistress!" Zhen Zhen picked up the broom with her backhand, "You little bastard, you are so rebellious. I am so old, and you dare to make up dirty rumors about me!"
"No, mother," Meng Eryong was so beaten that he jumped straight, "No, mother, it was my eldest brother who told me that you wanted to give him a legitimate status, so you allowed him to come to visit! I thought you wanted to create a younger brother or sister for me!"
"My goodness, I'm almost seventy years old, and you asked me to give you a brother! Why doesn't the National Fertility Office ask you to go?" Zhen Zhen threw away the broom and replaced it with a mop.
Meng Eryong covered his calf and said, "My queen, my son is wrong. Is it okay if my son is wrong?"
Meng Daguo laughed dryly, "Mom, is this Juanjuan's father? Oh, this man doesn't look like Juanjuan at all, I couldn't recognize him at first."
Zhen Zhen snorted and just as he stood up to pour tea for Jiang Jiming, he was stopped by Jiao Huilan.
Jiao Huilan laughed secretly, "Mom, how can I let you do such rough work? I can do it."
Jiang Jiming had figured out the Meng family's food chain.
He sat upright and tried to put on his most friendly smile.
"Hello, grandma. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Jiming, and I'm Meng Nan's ex... or maybe ex-ex-ex-boyfriend. I have every reason to believe that I'm Juanjuan's biological father."
Meng Daguo was about to show his displeasure, but then he realized that Meng Nan had secretly given birth to a child, but Jiang Jiming did not dump her.
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Zui Ming, right? Meng Nan mentioned you to me."
Jiang Jiming's eyes lit up. "What did she say about me?"
"She praised you for being a gentleman, knowing a lot, respecting women, and being handsome."
Jiang Jiming felt relieved by her words. To be honest, when Meng Nan suddenly broke up with him, Jiang Jiming had no idea why. He thought Meng Nan had someone else. As a gentleman, he could not cling to a woman who had changed her mind.
The two of them separated so easily that Jiang Jiming thought their relationship was over. But who would have thought that his friend would tell him that Meng Nan's child had naturally curly hair like him.
Zhen Zhen then understood the reason, "I noticed your hair isn't curly."
"I was curly when I was a kid, but it will get better as I grow older."
Jiang Jiming is a smart man. Zhen Zhen said straight to the point: "We can't give up the child's custody rights."
"I don't intend to take the child away." Jiang Jiming also felt that this matter was difficult. "Grandma, I'll tell you the truth. After I broke up with Meng Nan, I never looked for anyone else. If Meng Nan is willing, I still think that it is best for the child for us to get married."
"Whether my granddaughter will get married or not depends on only one criterion: whether she wants to and is willing to do so."
Jiang Jiming didn't expect that Old Lady Zhen was so powerful.
"But the child..."
"It's enough for the child to have a mother. Whether or not there is a father is not the most important thing." Zhen Zhen took the tea handed to him by Jiao Huilan and took a sip. "Jiming, you are not bad in terms of conditions. It should not be difficult for you to find a suitable wife. But I have enough family assets to support my granddaughter. She doesn't need to marry anyone, she doesn't need to be anyone's wife, and she doesn't need to be bound by marriage. This is the real reason why she doesn't want to get married. It's not that you are not good, it's that she doesn't want to choose marriage. For a rich woman, there is really not much a man can give her. You don't deny this, right?"
Jiang Jiming did not deny that Meng Nan was not short of money, but he was busy with work and could not provide Meng Nan with any company other than money.
Nor could he bear children for Meng Nan.
He really had nothing to offer Mannon.
"Grandma, Juanjuan is very sensible and cute. I am very grateful to Meng Nan for giving birth to her. Do you think she would agree if I proposed not to get married but to take care of Juanjuan together with Meng Nan as a cohabitant?"
"You have to ask her yourself."
Jiang Jiming told Meng Nan his thoughts, but was only met with a cold stare from Meng Nan.
Meng Nan thought that men were too troublesome. "I've said it before, I don't want to be anyone's wife. I can give birth to children and take care of them myself. What's the use of you?"
"I... I'm also worth 10 billion, isn't my money still rolling around?" Jiang Jiming said anxiously, "We won't get married, I won't take advantage of you, we just live together so that it's easier to take care of the kids."
"No need. The child doesn't need a father, and he doesn't need you to take care of him."
Meng Nan felt that he was annoying. "Don't be such a liar. I have a date with a young man. Go wherever you want and don't bother me."
"Then I want to see Juanjuan."
"Once every two weeks. Watch if you like, get out if you don't."
Jiao Huilan and Meng Daguo were worried about Meng Nan's situation, but Meng Nan refused to listen, and Zhen Zhen followed her. They were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
After dinner, Zhen Zhen wandered around. She came to an abandoned warehouse by the river. Just as she was about to cross the road, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck and a model car whizzed past.
Zhen Zhen wiped his bald neck and roared:
"Catch the thief! He stole my gold necklace!"
When she yelled, everyone around her looked at her, but there were more people watching the show than those willing to help her.
Zhen Zhen was thinking that she might never find her gold chain again. At this moment, a man in a black T-shirt stepped onto a motorcycle and drove off at lightning speed.
Half an hour later, the man came back and threw the gold chain into Zhen Zhen's hand.
Zhen Zhen took a closer look and found that it was indeed her gold necklace. She smiled and said:
"Thank you. I'll give you some money as a token of my gratitude for your help. Is that okay with you?"
The man blushed and waved his hands, "I didn't do anything, you don't have to give me money."
Zhen Zhen felt a little embarrassed. She noticed that the man had blood on his hands, a knife wound on his neck, and an obvious shoe print on his abdomen. It was obvious that he had been in a fierce fight with someone.
Zhen Zhen looked at his limping figure and felt a little embarrassed.
The lady sweeping the streets said, "This guy is not bad. He knows how to do what is right, but he just doesn't learn his lesson. He just lies at home daydreaming all day."
Zhen Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Do you know him?"
"Yes, he is the top student in our village. He was admitted to a prestigious university and majored in mechanical repair."
Zhen Zhen thought for a moment, "Mechanical engineering?"
"Yes, yes, yes. He studied mechanical engineering. He was just a rag picker. You can imagine how difficult it was to support him through college! But he said he wanted to start a business after graduation. His father couldn't afford it, so he rented a warehouse and a large yard in the county town. He spent all day messing around with a pile of scrap copper and iron, and even picked up garbage from his father's garbage station!"
The elder sister held the broom and became angrier as she spoke. "He has been doing this for three years! Three years! His father is old and relies on him to earn money to support him in his old age, but he does nothing and just sits at home slacking off every day. It's a pity that his father is old and still has to take care of such a waste like him."
Zhen Zhen thought for a moment, "Why is he messing around with all this crap? There must be a direction, right?"
"I don't know. He said he was going to build a car that was almost ready to use, and it could be powered by solar energy! Don't you think he is daydreaming?" The older sister thought more and more about it and felt sorry for his father. "Poor dad, his fingers are all frozen and cracked, but we still have to send him steamed buns every now and then, for fear that he will starve to death. In my opinion, it is better not to raise a child like this, it is simply unfilial!"
"Do you know where his warehouse is?"
"Look, it's right in front, just turn left. He had no money to pay the rent, and he had piled up a bunch of junk in someone else's warehouse. The landlord threatened to kick him out, but he didn't want to make money to pay the rent, but wanted to do something brave to help others!"
Zhen Zhen followed the direction she pointed and entered the man's yard.
The elder sister was right. The yard was filled with a mess of junk and looked very untidy. In the middle of the yard stood a car skeleton. It was a real car, modified from all kinds of scrap copper and iron.
Unlike ordinary cars, this car has no fuel device and is powered by a lithium battery.
The hood of the car is made of a bucket. You can imagine how poor this person is.
"Good guy!" Zhen Zhen secretly lifted a corner of the bucket. He was using a modified 18650 lithium battery.
The man heard the noise and came out. When he saw Zhen Zhen, he was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"
"I see you're injured, and I want to take you to the hospital to treat your wounds."
"No, I usually build cars, climb up and down, and my welding equipment is very simple. I often get injured. This little injury is nothing."
"What's your name, young man?"
"Martin, that's my real name," Martin smiled. "My father was a rag picker. His last name was Ma. On the day I was born, he found a newspaper in the rags and saw a man named Martin on it, so he gave me this name."
“You studied mechanical engineering?”
"Did the street sweeper Sister Wang tell you? She tells everyone she meets how corrupt I am, how I am a bad student, how unfilial I am, and she is determined to tell everyone in Xinyao City about me!"
Zhen Zhen laughed, "Is she right?"
"Yes and no. I majored in mechanical engineering, but I also minored in physics. I did well in both majors."
Martin is not short, but perhaps due to long-term lack of nutrition, his hair is haggard, his face is pale and his body is thin. He looks like a high school student with a bulging body.
Zhen Zhen handed him the pork head and donkey BBQ that he had bought at the door and said, "Have some!"
Martin licked his lips and didn't refuse. He opened the bag and took a big bite!
"This barbecue is really good, but the pork head is not as good as the pork head sold in Zhenxin Department Store."
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Of course my pork head is delicious."
Martin was stunned. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked. He dug out an old newspaper from the trash. On it was an interview with a famous entrepreneur. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person in the photo looked like the lady in front of him.
"Are you Boss Zhen?"
Zhen Zhen did not deny it. She walked around the car and asked, "Your car uses lithium-ion batteries, right?"
Martin wiped his mouth, stood up immediately, and said excitedly: "Yes, it is a lithium-ion battery. Did you know that cars don't have to use oil? We can develop electric cars! Both electric cars and oil can be used. People are not optimistic about electric cars, but it's just a certain stereotype that electricity is not as stable as oil. In fact, it is not true!"
"Can this car accommodate people?"
"cannot!"
“…”
Martin was a little embarrassed. "All the frameworks are in place, and the car can be started, but as you can see, my car is missing parts and the equipment is too simple. I can't drive it out at all, let alone drive it on the road. But I can guarantee that if you give me a car, I can convert it into a lithium-ion battery car, and this car will definitely be able to drive on the road."
Zhen Zhen called Zhen Xiangyang and asked him to send a used car over.
Zhen Xiangyang happened to have a second-hand Santana, and he drove it to Zhen Zhen immediately.
"Aunt, what do you want a car for?"
"Let him transform into a tram!"
"What?"
Zhen Xiangyang widened his eyes, thinking that his aunt was dreaming. Could a gasoline car be converted into an electric car?
What empty talk is this!
He glanced at Martin's skinny appearance and felt more and more that this man was a liar.
Zhen Xiangyang stared at Martin defensively, "Auntie, don't be fooled. You don't know much about cars. How can a gasoline car be converted into an electric car? Isn't this just a scam? Can't you see that this guy is a liar? He knows that you are the boss of Zhenxin Group and wants to cheat you out of your money! He is not a good person, so be careful!"
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "How do you know if you don't try?"
Martin's eyes lit up. "Do you believe me? Don't you think building an electric car is just a fool's dream?"
"It doesn't matter what others say. What matters is whether you believe in yourself. I'll give you a week to transform these two Santanas into electric trains. Is half a month enough?"
“Enough!”
"In half a month, I hope to see a brand new Santana."
Martin nodded excitedly and got into the Santana lovingly. He seemed to see the Santana he had converted into an electric car with lithium-ion batteries.
He saw victory waving to him.
Zhen Xiangyang went to the pig farm specifically to find Meng Daguo and told him about this.
"I don't know why my aunt gets more trusting as she gets older. That Martin guy is obviously a liar."
Meng Daguo patted the pig feed in his hand and said, "Is there anything else?"
"That's right! A second-hand Santana is not cheap. My aunt gave the car key to someone else and told him to modify it however he wanted. If it got damaged, it would be hers! Tell me, what else could this be but a liar?"
Meng Daguo also thought Martin was too suspicious.
But over the years, every time he felt that his mother had been deceived, she would slap him in the face with facts.
What's more, how much is a second-hand Santana worth?
There is so much money at home, if mom wants to build a baby, let her do it!
As long as mother is happy, she can spend money however she wants.
Meng Daguo felt that his mother was deceived because he, as a son, did not take good care of her.
A few years ago, Meng Daguo always wanted to buy a helicopter for his mother so that she could go to and from get off work without having to squeeze with others and go wherever she wanted.
Now, his pork factory has been listed, its stock price has been soaring, and its market value has reached hundreds of millions.
Now that Meng Daguo had money, she wanted to buy a helicopter for her mother.
He asked Meng Hua about the helicopter.
Meng Hua was stunned. "Helicopter? This thing is not comfortable to sit in!"
"ah?"
Meng Hua had ridden in a helicopter thanks to Tan Zheng, but he found that helicopters were too noisy, prone to accidents, and couldn't fly long distances. He thought it would be better to just buy a Boeing plane!
Meng Daguo was very impressed. "Boeing? How much does that cost?"
"100 million US dollars? At most 200 million US dollars, not much money."
Meng Daguo slapped his thigh and said, "Your brother's company is not even worth 200 million US dollars, where do I get so much money?"
"You don't, but I do!"
Meng Daguo's eyes widened, "Brother, do you want to contribute some money too?"
Meng Hua smiled. He also wanted to give his mother a gift. Over the years, he had made a fortune of 10 to 20 billion from real estate and gold.
The real estate industry makes money quickly. Meng Hua's sales area this year is 1.7 million square meters, with sales reaching 10 billion yuan, and the growth rate is considerable.
Giving my mother money to buy a plane is really nothing.
Meng Hua patted Meng Daguo on the shoulder and said, "Brother, just go for it. I will always support you!"
"younger brother!"
"elder brother!"
Meng Daguo talked to Meng Hua about real estate again. Zhenxin Group is also developing real estate, but Zhenxin's model is different from Meng Hua's. Zhenxin uses department stores to drive the community, and real estate is not the main business of Zhenxin Group.
Meng Hua is different. He advocates a fast cycle and hopes to cash in on the house in the shortest possible time.
Meng Hua took a big step. Fortunately, he had Tan Zheng's connections. He was sure that the real estate market would be hot, so he dared to invest.
The two brothers discussed it and informed Meng Eryong.
Meng Eryong couldn't come up with the money, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Meng Daguo comforted her, "Money is secondary. Mother knows you have this intention and will definitely not blame you."
Tao Aihong deposited all Meng Eryong's money in the bank.
After listening to Zhen Zhen's words, Meng Daguo and Jiao Huilan bought courtyard houses, villas and land everywhere. They didn't have much cash left.
Tao Aihong, on the other hand, deposited every penny she had into the bank and lived on the interest.
It so happened that someone was selling a new plane on the market, so Meng Daguo and his two brothers flew over to take a look. They thought the plane was pretty good and could seat hundreds of people. If they modified it and gave it to their mother, it would definitely be a great deal!
Meng Daguo didn't understand, "Brother, can the plane be modified?"
"Of course you can," Meng Hua has a friend who owns a modified airplane. The interior of the airplane is made entirely of gold. The inside of the airplane is no different from a home living room. It has a TV, stereo, karaoke, and a custom-made leather sofa and coffee table.
After visiting the plane of Meng Hua's friend, Meng Daguo and Meng Eryong were really exposed to the world.
"How much does this cost?" Meng Daguo's eyes widened.
He has always been simple and honest, and even though he has money, he has never indulged in luxury.
If he hadn't wanted to please his mother and buy her a plane as a birthday gift, he wouldn't have spent so much money to buy a plane.
"He's not as rich as our family, he just likes to enjoy himself."
Meng Hua also felt that his mother was old and should enjoy herself early.
If they don't enjoy themselves at the age of 70 and their health fails, they won't have the chance to fulfill their filial duties.
Meng Hua advocated modifying the interior of the plane, as using gold was too luxurious. Her mother was a gold miner, and she had no feelings for gold.
My mother likes simple and high-end things, so you can refer to her decoration style and go for a high-end luxury style.
Meng Daguo thought it was feasible, so Meng Hua invited a designer from abroad. After communicating with the designer, Meng Hua requested that the room should have sleeping, bathing and leisure functions.
"It's mainly for our old lady. Everything else is empty. Meeting the needs of my old lady is the most important thing." Meng Hua explained.
The designer expressed his deep emotion again and again, saying that these three brothers were truly filial.
He drives a Santana himself, but he is willing to spend more than 100 million US dollars to buy a plane for his mother.
The interior was also modified with great fanfare.
The purchase of the plane was kept a secret from the family, even Meng Nan and Jiao Huilan didn't know about it.
On this day, Jiao Huilan had just finished making the dough when Tao Aihong came in eating melon seeds.
"Sister-in-law, have you noticed that Meng Eryong has been acting sneaky lately?"
Jiao Huilan also felt that something was wrong with Meng Daguo. These past few days, when Meng Daguo came home, he always smelled like new furniture and his shirts were always dirty.
"He doesn't look like he's going on a date with a woman."
Tao Aihong threw away the melon seed shells. "Are they hiding this from us and investing recklessly? I heard that there's a promotional association in Xinyao recently. They say that if you join this association, one million can become two million, and two million can become four million. You can make a lot of money! My brother Tao Jiang invested 30,000 yuan, and guess what, it turned into 70,000 yuan! He has been trying to get me to join the association, saying that if I join, he will give me 50 cents in profit!"
"So high?" Jiao Huilan didn't understand these things, but she knew that pie in the sky would not fall.
Such a good thing is not their turn at all.
"Don't be stupid. Mom said that we are not allowed to invest recklessly. She said that many people are jealous of our wealth and want to get money from us! They will set a trap for us!"
"My mother has no education, she is old, and can't keep up with the times. How can she know what new things are out there?"
Tao Aihong thought Jiao Huilan was ignorant. "I plan to give it a try. When I make some money, I will bring you in."
Jiao Huilan thought for a moment and advised: "Aihong, we have a good life now, and our mother treats us well. We don't have to make this kind of money."
"This is nothing, it's not usury." Tao Aihong felt that her brother could not have lied to her. "My brother's example is there, it's not fake. He said that if I could get one million in, I would be allowed to withdraw two million in the second month!"
"What if I can't get it out?"
"How is it possible that it can't be taken out?"
