Chapter 6 Xu Family
Chapter 6 Xu Family
At this time point in early November, many places in the north have already been hit by heavy snow. Even if it is not snowing, the north wind will blow every other day.
Even in many places in the south, the autumn wind blows and makes people feel deeply chilled.
But in Shenzhen, it is still the beginning of autumn and the temperature feels quite comfortable, not too cold nor too hot. The temperature is over 20 degrees during the day and the lowest temperature at night is a little lower but still around 17 or 18 degrees. Overall, the climate is very pleasant.
Many pedestrians on the street are still wearing short-sleeved shirts, and some young and fashionable girls are even wearing cowhide shorts or short skirts.
Xu Shenxue in the car occasionally turned his head to look out the window, and could see the long white legs from time to time.
Because it was the evening rush hour, although the distance to home was not far, it still took more than half an hour to reach the community where Xu Shenxue lived.
Xu Shenxue's family owns quite a lot of houses, mainly because Xu's mother is quite persistent in investing in fixed assets and buys several houses every year to store.
They say businesses will go bankrupt, stocks will be delisted, and cash will depreciate, but the house is there...it's there regardless of whether the price goes up or down.
Decades later, the family company may go bankrupt, but a bunch of houses will still be there.
Xu's mother doesn't care about the so-called rise and fall of housing prices, nor does she consider the so-called rental-to-sale ratio. The rise and fall of housing prices and the rental-to-sale ratio are played by capital and real estate speculators, but she doesn't speculate in real estate... After buying a house, she only rents it out and doesn't sell it.
Mother Xu made a super long-term guaranteed investment...
What we hope for is that decades later, the whole family can continue to live a wealthy life by collecting rent.
Now, the family of three each owns a bunch of houses... but most of them are ordinary residences for investment, and many are small-sized. The only large-sized house they live in is the one they live in, which is located in Hong'an Mansion on Beishan Coastal Highway.
The entire community is actually not very big, with only three lonely buildings. There are large seaside parks in front and to the west, a low-density villa area to the north, and other residential areas to the east are a little far away, so the surrounding area looks very empty.
The houses in the community are all large. Those over 200 square meters are considered small, and there are large ones that are around 500 or 600 square meters. The price is now over 30,000 yuan per square meter. However, the Xu family bought it earlier, so it was relatively cheap, at just over 20,000 yuan per square meter.
The community is directly behind the seaside highway. Even if you live on the lower floors, you can see the sea across the highway and the seaside park.
The sea view from the high floors is even better, with a very broad field of vision... It's just not very pleasant on typhoon days, and it's easy to be humid on south wind days, but the high floors are better.
The car drove steadily into the underground parking lot of the community. Xiao Chen, a driver who was a former car soldier and had been sent to a driving school for special training by the company, had very good driving skills.
You can turn on the ludicrous mode to reverse at super high speed, make a U-turn on the spot, and drive steadily without speeding or slowing down.
Hiring a professional driver is Xu's mother's strong request!
The previous Mr. Xu didn’t like to have a driver drive, and he often drove around by himself. As a result, at a social gathering at the beginning of the year, he got drunk and insisted on driving himself. As a result, the car flew directly off the overpass... The car fell apart, and the driver was gone.
Afterwards, Xu's mother gave the original person a strict order, absolutely not allowing him to drive after drinking, and trying not to drive himself. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and she also put forward a series of high requirements for the driver.
In the end, the original owner had no choice but to spend a lot of time and effort to select Xiao Chen, a former car soldier, from a group of driver candidates. He then sent him to a friend's driving school for special training for a period of time. He drove a Mercedes-Benz steadily in front of Xu's mother, and only then did he get Xu's mother's permission to take up the job.
Xu's mother also asked Xu Shenxue to buy a more expensive Mercedes-Benz, saying that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is safer. Don't learn from that old man who is worth over 100 million yuan but can't even afford to spend one or two million on a car. He uses a broken car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan all year round, and ends up having a car accident where the car falls apart and he loses his life!
What I mean is, if a drunk driver drives his car at over 100 hours per hour and flies off the overpass, even an armored vehicle will fall apart!
However, Xu's mother insisted on doing so, and the original body had no choice but to get an S350, which barely put Xu's mother at ease.
Now Xu Shenxue could understand Xu's mother's mentality. Her husband died in a car accident, so she naturally didn't want her son to get into an accident as well. But this was a bit of an overreaction!
After getting off the car, Xu Shenxue entered the elevator and went straight to the door of the room on the 26th floor. After opening the door, he heard Xu's mother's voice: "Are you back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged woman in her home pajamas walking towards him from the living room. This person was none other than Xu's mother, a woman who had accompanied Mr. Xu in starting his business from scratch when she was young and had been his virtuous wife for a long time.
Xu Shenxue responded with "hmm" while changing his shoes and going in.
Xu Shenxue also turned to the driver Xiao Chen and said, "There's nothing to do tonight, you should go back and have a good rest. There will be a lot of social events in the next few days, and you will inevitably have to work overtime!"
The driver, Xiao Chen, said from behind: "Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll be leaving first. If you need a car temporarily, just call me and I'll be here in ten minutes!" At this time, Xu's mother stepped forward and said, "Xiao Chen, don't worry. Here, take this back and eat it. The fruit just delivered from the fruit store is very fresh."
As he said that, he handed over a small fruit basket.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at Xu Shenxue.
Xu Shenxue glanced at the fruit basket and said, "Take it. Just think of it as the after-meal fruit distributed in the company cafeteria!"
Xiao Chen had no choice but to accept it...Xu's mother sent him all kinds of food and drinks every few days. It was okay at first, but it was not a good thing to take it frequently.
After Xiao Chen turned around and left with the fruit basket, Xu Shenxue also entered the living room. The living room was very large, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the front. Outside the window was a large balcony of more than 40 square meters. Looking down from the balcony, you could see the seaside park and the sea.
There are many ships passing by on the sea in the night, and the sea is dotted with stars.
On the right side of the sea are tall buildings and busy traffic.
Mother Xu called softly to the kitchen: "Auntie Wang, it's time to eat!"
Aunt Wang responded from inside and then brought the food to the table.
Mother Xu went to another room and knocked on the door, then said, "Weiwei, your brother is back and ready to eat!"
The door was not opened, and there was no sound!
After standing there for a few seconds, Xu's mother saw that the door was still not open. She tried the door handle but it didn't open, so she raised her voice slightly: "Come out and eat!"
At this time, an impatient girl's voice came: "Got it!"
After a while, the door still didn't open, and Xu's mother's face darkened: "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't come out, you won't have dinner tonight!"
Then he came over and sat on the sofa in a sullen mood.
Xu Shenxue turned around and looked, also helpless.
The girl in the room is his sister Xu Weiwei, who is in her second year of high school. According to the original body's memory, she was a very well-behaved little girl before Xu's father passed away. However, she became taciturn after her father passed away, and she quarreled with Xu's mother every few days. Recently, she often locked herself in the room and refused to come out.
Xu Shenxue could understand it. In the past, Xu's father was very strict with his son, but very loving to his daughter. On the other hand, Xu's mother was the opposite. She was more indulgent to her son but strict with her daughter.
Xu Shenxue estimated that the death of Xu's father had already had a great negative impact on Xu Weiwei, and coupled with the fact that a middle-aged woman whose husband had died provoked her every few days, the relationship between mother and daughter became like this.
After thinking for a while, Xu Shenxue said, "Let Weiwei live in the school. The boarding environment in her school is pretty good!"
"She is now in her second year of high school, which is a critical period for her studies. It is not a good idea to continue like this!"
Although Xu Shenxue has been focusing most of his attention on the company in the past half month, he has also learned a little bit about the situation and feels that the best solution is to separate the mother and daughter...
Her sister told him a few days ago that she wanted to live in the school dormitory because her home was too depressing.
As his mother, he should take at least 70% of the responsibility for his sister's current condition. After Xu's father died, the old mother was too strict, nagging her every day, and often got angry at her daughter for no reason and over trivial matters.
The remaining 30% should be blamed on Father Xu. It was because he drove under the influence of alcohol that his wife lost her husband and his daughter lost her father!
So boarding is a good solution!
Don't talk about maternal love or not. Xu Wei is already a sophomore in high school. She is not a real little girl anymore, so she doesn't need a little maternal love.
It would be better to temporarily leave Xu's mother, who has become a little neurotic after her husband died, and treat her better!
Then let time dilute everything, and it will be over in a year or two.
