Looking at Principal Zhou, who was peering inside with his face pressed against the wall, Chu Yang knew he couldn't see anything.
But the car was already parked downstairs at Zhou Yang's residence, so there was no point in hiding it.
Chu Yang quickly rolled down the car window.
Principal Zhou's gaze fell on Zhou Yang, with an expression that said, "I knew it."
"Hello, Principal Zhou," Chu Yang greeted him.
Zhou Yang asked in a panic, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
“I went to a bar for a drink and didn’t see you, so I thought I’d come to check on your new place. I didn’t expect Xiao Chu to be here too. Where did you guys go?” Principal Zhou said with a smile.
"No, there's nothing between us, Dad, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Yang's face turned red.
Suddenly, Chu Yang grabbed her hand and said frankly, "Yes, Principal Zhou, we went on a date and bought a lot of things. You've come at the right time, please help us carry them upstairs."
Principal Zhou laughed heartily: "Good lad, you're ordering me around now. Alright, alright, get off the bus."
Chu Yang helped Zhou Yang unbuckle his seatbelt and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll handle your dad."
Hearing this, Zhou Yang's previously flustered emotions calmed down, and she nodded gently.
The two got out of the car, went around to the back, and opened the trunk.
Seeing the trunk crammed full, Principal Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you bought so much! It must have cost a lot of money!"
"It's not much, as long as Sister Xiaoyang likes it," Chu Yang said with a smile.
Principal Zhou smiled with satisfaction and helped pick up the things.
Chu Yang took out the Moutai and Hua Zi that Lou Chunyue had brought and handed them to him.
"This is for you, please accept it as a small token of my appreciation."
After all, this was the first time they met as Zhou Yang's boyfriend, so it could be considered a gift.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Principal Zhou didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.
The three of them carried their belongings into the elevator.
After entering the house, Old Zhou put down his things, looked around the spacious room, and nodded frequently.
"The environment here is much better than the one you rented before, and you don't have to climb stairs every day. The rent must have been much higher, right?" Principal Zhou asked.
Zhou Yang didn't know how to answer: "It's too expensive..."
“Principal Zhou, this apartment is for Sister Xiaoyang,” Chu Yang said.
"Huh? You bought it?" Principal Zhou was taken aback and asked uncertainly, "You bought this for Xiao Yang?"
“Yes, Principal Zhou, if you think it’s too simple, I can buy another one. I can even have a villa if I want one,” Chu Yang said.
"Uh, no need, this is fine." Principal Zhou smiled.
Good lad, really good lad.
This house is worth three years' salary for my husband.
These days, the salaries of presidents of key universities are actually not high. They receive the salary of a civil servant at the level of a department director, with a base salary of about five thousand yuan a month. With subsidies and bonuses, they earn about one hundred thousand yuan a year.
He could actually earn much more; if he wanted, he could have hundreds of thousands or even millions. But Lao Zhou is honest and upright, and sometimes he even uses his own money to help poor students.
Sometimes, Lao Zhou regrets that if he had used his position to collect more money, his sick wife might have received better medical care, and his daughter wouldn't have lost her mother at such a young age...
So, now that his daughter has found a man like Chu Yang who can make money and is willing to spend money on her, Old Zhou is genuinely happy.
Sitting on the sofa and sipping the tea Zhou Yang brought him, Old Zhou couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Chu, how's your company doing these days?"
"It's pretty good. Last month's revenue was ten million," Chu Yang said.
"Pfft... Ugh!" Old Zhou almost spat out his tea, then swallowed it and exclaimed in shock, "Ten million!?"
He knew that the bar business was very good, and earning several hundred thousand a month was already quite impressive.
And the courier station, the report submitted last month showed that the turnover reached more than 600,000 yuan. Although the profit was not high, it was the best performance among college students starting businesses on campus.
They also knew that Chu Yang's company was doing well, and that he could even get a pop star to help him out.
Surprisingly, this unassuming company located across the street from the school actually generates ten million in revenue per month!
"Ten million a month, wouldn't that be more than a hundred million a year?" Old Zhou asked in surprise.
"No, that's not it. Last month was the company's first month of revenue, and this month, the turnover has already doubled," Chu Yang said.
"Doubling...? That would be 20 million?" Old Zhou was truly shocked.
The revenue was ten million in the first month, and doubled in the second month. What about after that?
What incredible management skills it must take to make a company grow so rapidly!
There are indeed graduates of Yuebei University who have become successful entrepreneurs.
But Chu Yang is the only one who became the CEO of a large company while still a freshman in college!
He truly deserves to be the top scholar.
No, this is a top student who didn't just study by rote and has exceptional business acumen!
He's only nineteen! I can't even imagine how high he'll achieve in the future!
"Principal Zhou?" Chu Yang called out.
Old Zhou snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "Still calling me principal?"
Chu Yang immediately changed his address to "Uncle Zhou".
Zhou Yang, who was bringing over the fruit platter: "..."
"That's right, it's my favorite mango." Old Zhou picked up a piece of mango with a toothpick and said while eating, "Xiao Chu, there's a job fair at the end of the semester. Could you go up on stage and give a talk, and give some guidance to the graduating seniors?"
"Well, I'm only a freshman, it's not really appropriate, right? Will they listen to me?" Chu Yang said, poking a piece of mango, but instead of eating it himself, he offered it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was very embarrassed, her face turned red, she secretly glanced at Lao Zhou, and quickly opened her mouth to take it in.
Old Zhou, however, smiled like a loving father: "What's inappropriate about it? Just show them your grades and see who dares to disagree."
"Just like when you applied for the courier station, what the school really cared about wasn't anything else but whether it could make money. Although the school didn't take any commission or kickbacks from you, the business report was what the school could publicly claim as an achievement."
"This society is very realistic. What is the purpose of studying? Isn't it to earn more money after graduation so that we and the people around us can live a better life?"
"What a pity," he said with a long sigh, his tone becoming somewhat dejected. "I understood this too late."
There was a hidden meaning in his words, which Chu Yang didn't quite understand.
But Zhou Yang seemed to understand something, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart, while at the same time feeling sorry for his father, whose temples were already gray.
"Alright, I have to go back now. I have to get up early for a meeting tomorrow." Old Zhou stood up and picked up the Moutai and Hua Zi that Chu Yang had given him.
He then said with a smile, "This isn't a bribe; it's a gift from my daughter's boyfriend. You all have to be my witnesses."
Chu Yang laughed and found this old Zhou quite interesting.
"Dad, it's so late, why don't you sleep here? There are three rooms available," Zhou Yang said, trying to persuade him to stay.
Old Zhou waved his hand: "No, no, you young people have other activities to do, so I won't bother you."
She looked at Chu Yang and said earnestly, "You must take good care of my daughter."
