Chapter 37 If you can't catch him, remember to tell me, so I can adopt him as my godson.
“I will repay it, even if I don’t know Zhou Chong, I will still repay it.”
"How will you repay it? Society won't listen to a teenager's grand ambitions. Fifty million is more money than many people can earn in a lifetime. I need you to convince me that I can repay it."
Shan Qingshan remained silent.
The man before him was like a towering mountain standing before him; just by standing there, just by stating the facts, he exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.
“When Zhou Chong first took over the project at the age of ten, he talked a lot of nonsense at home, saying that he could achieve a turnover of 50,000 yuan in a week after taking over. But I still made him write a plan before handing it over to the company.”
Jay Chou glanced at Zhou Chong, giving him a knowing look.
"You remember, right?"
Zhou Chong: "..."
to be honest.
Zhou Chong doesn't remember.
Even if we calculate based on the body's current physiological age, it was eight years ago when I was ten years old.
Although Zhou Chong was unclear about Zhou Dong's true purpose, he could guess that there was no malice involved, and that it was even for Qingshan Xiaobao's good.
At this moment, Jay Chou would pass on the message because, whether in the past life or now, the father and son have often teamed up to cheat business rivals and partners, working together to swindle money from foreigners.
We've been partners for a long time.
It's now quite obvious that Jay Chou wants him to take on the role.
After seeing the look of sudden understanding on his son's face, Jay Chou smiled gently, waiting for his son to respond so he could continue.
but……
Zhou Chong glanced at Shan Qingshan out of the corner of his eye.
He still looked quite unwell.
Zhou Chong quickly figured out which was more important, his biological father or his wife.
Then, Jay Chou witnessed a scene that made him grit his teeth.
—The son, who clearly got the signal, looked at the sky and the ground, but not at him!
Jay Chou managed to stay calm, but he could only talk to himself.
"Even my own son is like this."
I really don't want this son anymore.
"You are no exception."
After a moment of contemplation, Shan Qingshan said, "For you, my greatest value right now is my online following. Whether I become a celebrity or an internet celebrity, I can bring business benefits to your company. At worst, I can increase the brand awareness of your products. But in this case, it is likely that I can only bring short-term explosive benefits. It will be very difficult to achieve a net profit of 50 million."
Jay Chou looked appreciative and asked, "So, what's your proposal?"
"If I could join your company, I could bring you greater benefits."
Jay Chou had a smile on his face.
Despite being a debtor with 50 million in debt, he's got the brains of a boss on Zhipin (a job recruitment platform).
“But I remember you volunteered for a lower-ranked school, which makes me think that you are an arrogant person who doesn’t have a proper understanding of yourself. I have no reason to agree to your second option. Shan Qingshan, even if you are one in ten thousand, there are still 140,000 people in China.”
When Zhou Chong heard his father speak so bluntly about his wife, he immediately spoke up.
"Dad! Just because you earn more doesn't give you the right to say that! Apologize to Qingshan Xiaobao."
Jay Chou, betrayed by his own son: "..."
He didn't even make any threats, and Zhou Chong is still protecting him like this. What's the point of all that buildup?
Is the intention to portray him as a difficult elder, a villain, to highlight his unfilial son's protection of Shan Qingshan and his unwavering devotion to love?
Jay Chou took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He thought to himself: Zhou Shuo is still too young.
Now it's Zhou Shuo's turn to take the lead, and he'll be working for another decade or so.
Shan Qingshan clenched his hands hanging by his sides, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but his gaze was firm.
"Uncle Zhou, I admit that failing to get into my desired university was due to my misjudgment of my own abilities. But mistakes are inevitable parts of growth, and I accept this unchangeable fact, which gives me the opportunity to re-evaluate myself. My proposal to you is to earn three million yuan by becoming an internet celebrity or star by next June. After the scores are released, I will submit my university application form to you, and you can choose the option that will bring the greatest benefit to your company."
Jay Chou chuckled softly, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration.
I've got my eye on it.
He took a liking to the child.
He preferred this kind of resilient child, like licorice rooted in the desert, to a rich young master.
Zhou Chong was jumping around on the show, chasing after Shan Qingshan. Many of his relatives and company directors had opinions, and they all subtly implied that Shan Qingshan was a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Jay Chou has seen some video clips and can tell that this kid has a good personality. If the two of them were together, it would be a case of a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
But now...
Jay Chou then turned his attention to his son.
That's not wrong.
His son is a toad.
Mr. Zhou withdrew his gaze from Zhou Chong and said, "You're quite the planner. Not only did you pay back the money, but you also secured a job. You'll be working for a big company, and you can even choose your major from the boss. You'll never have to worry about anything in the future."
Very smart.
Turn disadvantages into advantages.
Jay Chou: "Let's do as you say and draft a feasible plan."
Jay Chou paused slightly and looked at Zhou Chong.
The creditor is Zhou Chong, and logically speaking, it should be Zhou Chong.
But Jay Chou was certain that if this matter were entrusted to his son, he was capable enough, no problem at all. However, his son's romantic nature, tailor-made for Shan Qingshan…
But besides Zhou Chong, he had no other suitable candidates...
After all, this person might be his future daughter-in-law...
In that case...
Jay Chou took out his phone and said, "Add me on WeChat, and you can contact me directly."
Now that things have come to this point, he can't be a cold-hearted parent and let his son gain all the goodwill.
Zhou Chong was shocked.
In those few seconds, he had come up with more than a dozen plans to release Qingshan Xiaobao into the sea, and then he pulled this stunt?!
Shan Qingshan was also a little stunned.
Many big bosses can't add Jay Chou on WeChat.
He just added it like that...
Jay Chou put his phone away.
"I'll send you a template. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Jay Chou: "You don't need to see me off. The project proposal isn't urgent. Take care of Grandma first. Zhou Chong, you see me off."
Zhou Chong followed, and only spoke after they had walked a distance away.
"Why do you insist that I deliver it? Don't you know that our father-son relationship was broken for eleven minutes and thirty-five seconds?"
"Who is ignoring their own biological father?"
"It is indeed me," Zhou Chong frankly admitted. "We're not married yet, so I can't let you bully him. Of course, even after we're married, you still can't bully him."
Jay Chou chuckled, "He's quite suitable for you."
Calling Zhou Chong a toad is just a way of saying he's obsessed with love.
His son's excellence needs no further explanation.
Jay Chou: "You didn't tell him the real amount, did you?"
"Um."
Jay Chou: "Do you understand why I told him?"
Zhou Chong: "You've taken a liking to him."
"..."
That is one of the reasons.
Jay Chou explained, "You two come from different family backgrounds, which already creates a gap. If you also owe this much money, you two will no longer be equal."
Zhou Chong understood immediately.
"Okay, thank you, Dad. It's always you who's so kind and loves me."
"Then let me love you for a short while longer. You deliberately hid the amount, and Shan Qingshan will definitely be angry."
Holy crap!
Zhou Chong turned and ran.
"Zhou Chong!"
Zhou Chong stopped. "What?"
"If you can't win her over, remember to tell me."
"What? Help me?"
"I've adopted him as my godson."
"...Forget about it!"
