Chapter 207 Taking Zhao Lingshan to Zhang's House
Chapter 207 Bringing Zhao Lingshan Home
"Then let's buy one closer to the school. This way it will be more convenient for schooling. I'll discuss it with your dad then."
"Oh, what's there to discuss? If he can pay me one dollar, I will go around Mo Village backwards."
After hearing what his mother said, Chen Xi snorted in disdain.
He knew his father well. He would rather spend money on other women than on him.
"Then I'll buy it for you myself."
"Um...that's fine."
Chen Xi nodded. If he kept the money with his mother, it would be swindled away in the future anyway, so it would be better to turn it into a house and put it in his name.
"You're in college now, so it's time to buy you a car. I heard that transportation in Australia is very inconvenient. I'll buy you a car when the time comes."
"Row."
Chen Xi was delighted to hear his mother's words. He thought that the cost of living would increase by then, and he would have plenty of money to do things, which would speed up the progress.
"No... no, Auntie, why don't you let Chen Xi come to Xi Village to study? There are several good universities in Xi Village. I'll be lonely and cold over there." The more Zhao Lingshan listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she quickly pretended to be pitiful.
"Okay, okay. After dinner, let's go to the garden and do some somersaults to help digest the food." Chen Xi rolled his eyes at Zhao Lingshan and immediately felt pain in his ears.
"You are bullying Shanshan again. You are not going to get well."
"pain."
"Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the pedestrian street is busy at night. You two young people should go and have some fun."
"Great."
Under the order of his mother, Chen Xi had no choice but to nod his head. Zhao Lingshan looked excited because she had told Chen Xi before that she wanted to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks.
At that time, China had not yet cracked down on the use of fireworks and firecrackers, so New Year's Eve was still quite lively. The pedestrian street was always crowded with young people from all over the country.
"Come on Shanshan, take a look at Chen Xi's childhood photos."
Mother Chen took Zhao Lingshan upstairs and took out several photo albums and started flipping through them.
Zhao Lingshan didn't know how many times she had looked at these photo albums, but Chen's mother seemed to be forgetful and kept repeating the same thing every time.
Zhao Lingshan didn't feel annoyed and would patiently chat and look at photos with Chen's mother every time.
The two women would burst into laughter whenever they talked about Chen Xi's naked photos, many of which included photos with Zhao Lingshan.
From kindergarten to elementary school, there were no more photos after that because Chen Xi didn’t like taking photos much anymore.
Now Chen Xi is smoking in the garden, thinking about how to sell the machines of his mother's company.
As I was thinking about it, the scene of last night appeared in my mind. I actually treated Zhao Lingshan as a milk bottle last night. It was so embarrassing.
Zhao Lingshan was seriously injured by him, but she was not too angry at all, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Do you want to celebrate New Year's Eve tonight?" Chen Xi called Ji Qingchuan.
"With whom? Shanshan? Are you here to show off to me?"
"No, it would be a bit awkward for me to go with her alone."
"I'm not a light bulb! I have no chance, just keep going!"
"Depend on!"
Ji Qingchuan directly refused, leaving Chen Xi with no choice but to stop asking Zhang Qiming.
Lu Tao is a programmer. He didn't even go to KTV last night. He went home to study code. He was also very bored. It seems that he can't be called tonight, and it is not convenient to call others either.
"According to our station, several pyramid schemes have been cracked this year. On March 2006, 3, the Xincheng City Branch successfully exposed and cracked a Class B key figure in the Yuezhou Tianqing pyramid scheme network. Immediately afterwards, the authorities used technical means to conduct in-depth analysis and deciphering of the seized "Da Cai Shen" management software, and then followed the clues to uncover a large-scale pyramid scheme case.
The scope of the case is shocking. So far, the authorities have successfully arrested several top leaders of Class A pyramid schemes, which has effectively deterred the arrogance of pyramid schemes. "
"On January 2006, 1, after an in-depth investigation, the Qinhuai City authorities issued a summons to the chairman of Guanfang Technology Company. Just three days later, on January 16, Qinhuai City decided to file a case and launch a comprehensive investigation. After months of tracking and investigation, on June 1, the authorities successfully arrested Han Li, the former general manager and financial director of Guanfang Company, and several other key suspects in Guihua City.
The Qinhuai Temple conspiracy case is regarded as one of the most influential conspiracy cases uncovered in recent years.
The police's meticulous investigation revealed a huge illegal network behind Guanfang Company. The company ostensibly had tens of millions of registered capital as a cover, but its internal illegal organizational structure was extremely complex and highly secretive.
The departments were deliberately kept separate, and even financial transactions were transferred through personal bank cards and controlled by different departments, making their pyramid schemes more difficult to detect and crack down on. The successful cracking of this case fully demonstrated the government's resolute attitude and ability to crack down on pyramid schemes...
"
"Are there so many pyramid schemes now?" Chen Xi curled his lips while watching the news on TV.
He had always lived abroad and had not paid much attention to domestic affairs. He thought that those pyramid schemes would only become more common in the past few years.
"There are so many cases like this. Several of my friends have been scammed out of tens of millions!" Zhao Lingshan came down from upstairs. "Mom, don't be scammed. Read the news when you have time. Don't contact those people around you who sell insurance, stocks, or cosmetics."
"Do you think I'd be that stupid?"
"hehe."
Chen's mother said with a nonchalant look on her face. Chen Xi smiled. No matter how his mother tried to persuade him, it was useless. All his money was cheated away, but he still played with those people.
"Shanshan, ask your mother to look after my mother more when you have time. She can be silly sometimes."
"Okay!" Zhao Lingshan sat on the sofa with a smile and hugged his arm.
"How dare you talk to your mother like that? Who is so stupid?" Chen's mother, who had originally wanted to beat Chen Xi up, immediately put away her anger when she saw Zhao Lingshan clinging to her son. She turned around with a smile on her face, not wanting to disturb the two people's good time.
"I'm serious. Don't get so close to me. It's so hot." Chen Xi said seriously.
"I know. It's so hot in the middle of winter. You made me so tired last night. Let me take a nap on you." Zhao Lingshan curled up on the sofa like a kitten, resting her head on Chen Xi's shoulder.
"What did I do to you..." Just when Chen Xi was about to explode, Zhao Lingshan had already closed her eyes, with a satisfied smile on her lips, lying there quietly.
He didn't sleep well last night, and his arm was tightly held by Zhao Lingshan, so he had no choice but to lie down on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and try to make himself more comfortable.
After a while, when the two fell asleep, Chen's mother came over with a smile, holding a blanket in her hand, gently covered them with it, then covered her mouth and went to another room to watch her idol drama.
Perhaps both of them did not sleep well last night, and they slept until after five in the afternoon. Chen Xi woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and saw Zhao Lingshan staring at him infatuatedly.
"Wake up, how was yesterday? Compared to your girlfriend, which one felt better?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! My mother is still at home."
"I'm asking you something!"
"They're all about the same." Chen Xi answered perfunctorily.
“What about the taste?”
"Ahem, it's getting late. It's almost evening."
"Hehe~ I drank too much yesterday and forgot what it felt like. How about we try again?"
Seeing that the other party did not give a direct answer, Zhao Lingshan smiled and sat up from the sofa.
"Come on, get up quickly, and don't tell my mom that I have a girlfriend."
"Why? Are you worried that your family won't be able to accept it? Didn't you say before that you would find a wife yourself?"
"Well, let's take our time anyway."
Chen Xi stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the next room. His mother was still watching TV series.
“What is the current housing price in Xicun?”
"What? Are you interested in developing in Xi Village?"
When Zhao Lingshan heard Chen Xi talking about Xi Village, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Just asking, I have a friend whose uncle is in real estate. I think there will be a big surge in prices."
"I think so too! So I have already started to encourage my mother to buy a house. She has bought quite a few in first-tier cities and also bought some abroad. She can also get a loan, and when she sells it, the value will go up a lot. This quick way to make money is much more profitable than running a hotel or restaurant."
Zhao Lingshan spoke vividly, and Chen Xi nodded. Zhao Lingshan, like her mother, had a good business sense, unlike her own mother, who was completely a target of deception.
Most of Shanshan's family's money comes from her mother. Her father is a bit indecisive and has trouble making decisions, so her mother is the head of the company and her father only manages a few restaurants.
"I want to set up a website to sell houses. I'm not familiar with Xicun. Can you help me?"
"Are you begging me? You have to serve me well. It's not impossible~"
"I'm like a duck, so forget it if you don't want to help me."
"No, we can discuss everything. Let me first tell you about my hotel chains and fast food. You can help me with some advice when the time comes. It would be best if you can invest some money in them so that we can open a husband-and-wife company."
"..."
Chen Xi grabbed Zhao Lingshan's arm and pulled her up from the sofa. After saying hello to his mother, he walked towards the garage.
He had already retrieved the car during the day, and now there were still a few hours before New Year's Eve, so he planned to visit his elementary school and kindergarten.
The two places are very close to each other. I haven’t been there for a long time and I miss them a lot.
