Chapter 497 Blind Date Failed(1/2)
On Saturday night, Wang Yan drove to the Hui Mansion on Julu Road, a three-story foreign-style building. Decades ago, the Qing Gang bosses opened a casino here. Now it is a high-end hotel, specializing in Cantonese cuisine. It was built in
In 1923, it can be regarded as witnessing the century-old storm of Shanghai.
In the hall, Jiang Pengfei, who was sitting on a large retro soft chair, stood up. Wang Yan stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with him: "I'm really sorry, Uncle Jiang. I had some gambling on the way and I came a little late. You said you were too, in
Whatever I want to do, I can just go up with the waiter."
"I came early. It's only six o'clock now. It's just right. It's just right." Jiang Pengfei shook his head twice, let go and patted Wang Yan on the shoulder: "Let's go up and eat and talk.
Let me tell you, my daughter is really beautiful, you have to seize the opportunity."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "You are so anxious to marry your daughter off?"
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's because I didn't get into college as a female. Besides, my daughter is new to the world. Like a white lotus, she always thinks that there are good people in the world. Instead of her being deceived, it's better for me as a father to help her.
Find someone who knows everything like you. Come on, I’ll take good care of you."
The two of them laughed and went upstairs. When they arrived at a private room, Jiang Pengfei informed the waiter to take away the food. He then sat down and looked at Wang Yan with a smile: "Let me introduce him to you. He is the financial professional I told you before.
Wang Yan, this is my wife Dai Qing. If you call me uncle, then call her Auntie Dai."
Dai Qing was dressed dignified and had the air of a noble lady. Speaking of which, she was quite ridiculous. After Jiang Pengfei died, she listened to what Dai Qian and Jiang Nansun said about living for herself, and then she went abroad to marry someone else.
.
Emotional feelings aside, the Jiang family does favor sons over daughters. It is true that she was not welcomed after giving birth to a girl, but in recent years, she has been restricted from doing anything in the Jiang family. She has no worries about food and drink, and her expenses are not low.
After living for others, there was nothing serious about it, just playing mahjong all day long. After Jiang Pengfei died, it seemed that it was still a waste of time for her.
Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Yan still nodded to the dignified Dai Qing: "Hello, Aunt Dai."
"Hello." Dai Qing nodded politely in response, then sat there silently, silently examining Wang Yan.
Jiang Pengfei continued to point to the other side: "This is my daughter, Jiang Nansun."
Jiang Nansun was sitting diagonally across from him, with brown hair hanging down his shoulders and a slightly pink face. He was naturally very handsome. He was dressed in jeans with a white shirt underneath, looking fresh and clean, and full of youthful vitality.
She smiled politely: "Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Hello, Miss Nansun." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.
As far as the performance in the play is concerned, Jiang Nansun has double standards. Of course, double standards are not wrong. After all, people have double standards. They always have high requirements for others and low standards for themselves. People will tend to choose to do things that are beneficial to themselves.
It is normal to make remarks that are beneficial to oneself. Wang Yan also has double standards. After all, he has always been very honest. It's just that Jiang Nansun's performance is too different before and after, and his goals are a bit too high. This is very ethical.
For example, when the Jiang family was being collected for debt, Jiang Pengfei was so embarrassed that he ran to school to ask Zhang Anren for money. However, when Zhang Anren expressed his dissatisfaction, Jiang Nansun asked Zhang Anren for help. Of course, this can be said to be a friend in need, a friend indeed.
It was just a test on her part. But if Zhang Anren really took the money, would she want it? Would she not test it out and thank Zhang Anren sweetly? This is a question.
And after Jiang Pengfei died, a bunch of creditors appeared out of nowhere. She seemed to be desperate to pay back the money. Why didn't she tell Wang Yongzheng that she needed help? After all, Wang Yongzheng was also a rich man.
Damn, he is much richer than Zhang Anren. Comparing the two boyfriends before and after, this is very wrong.
There are other people who say they hate Wang Yongzheng, but always work around them, etc., but they don't really show it to White Lotus, so that's tea.
As for the fact that she took on a debt of three million and paid it off in two years, I won't mention it. Maybe she is indeed a proud girl. She earned more than one million after tax just after graduation...
Jiang Pengfei laughed: "How about it, Wang Yan, isn't my daughter very beautiful?"
"Miss Nansun is indeed beautiful and charming." Wang Yan nodded and looked at Jiang Nansun with a smile: "Uncle Jiang must have told you about my situation, right?"
Jiang Nansun looked at Jiang Pengfei aside with confusion, his eyes full of confusion.
Jiang Pengfei groaned and said with a smile: "Wang Yan, he is..."
"Miss Nansun doesn't seem to know that she came here on a blind date? Let me introduce myself first. I am twenty-nine years old. My parents died ten years ago and I left some savings. Later I studied abroad for several years and worked on Wall Street.
After some time, I returned to China four years ago and established a private equity fund with the help of my friends. I met Uncle Jiang by chance at Fuxing Park, and we got along quite well. He knew that I didn’t have a girlfriend, so he told me to marry you.
Introduce yourself to me."
When Wang Yan saw Jiang Nansun like that, he understood that he was just like that Li Yifan. Jiang Pengfei, an old boy, had deceived Jiang Nansun and didn't know about the blind date. Of course, he had thought of it before. After all, Jiang Pengfei's conduct was
that is.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nansun's face changed, and he turned to look at his own mother who was avoiding her eyes and saying nothing: "Mom, are you cheating on me by getting angry with my father?"
"What did you say? We are doing this for your own good." In front of Wang Yan, Jiang Pengfei's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "He is a financial elite, and he still lives in Tangchen Yipin. He is very powerful.
Even if you don't go on a blind date, you should still have more contact with successful people like him. It will be good for you. Do you think Wang Yan is so idle? Can anyone sit at the same table with him for dinner? "
Although these words are true, they are indeed a bit pretentious. Wang Yan waved his hands and said: "Don't say that. They are all just putting their heads on their shoulders. No one is higher than anyone else. We are all the same."
"Nansun, look at how approachable Wang Yan is."
Although Jiang Nansun was not favored because of her daughter, she had been pampered since she was a child. The main reason was that the old lady of the Jiang family didn't like her. Jiang Pengfei was okay, he basically didn't care much about it. There was only one Dai Qing left, so of course his biological daughter was spoiled.
Therefore, Jiang Nansun's life is still good, and the three members of his family are generally of that moral character.
However, Jiang Pengfei survived for decades and was able to restrain himself from losing his temper in front of outsiders, but the same could not be said for Jiang Nansun. Without the beatings from society, he would not be as deep after all.
She stared at her father unhappily, looked at her mother with some disappointment, and then turned to look at Wang Yan, who was smiling at the side: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. My dad may not have made it clear to you before, but let me tell you now.
I have a boyfriend, who is my senior in college. We have a good relationship and are planning to get married, so there is no need for a blind date."
"It's okay, Uncle Jiang. I know you mean well, but I can't force it. Don't get angry, it won't affect either of us." Wang Yan patted Jiang Pengfei's arm, looked at Jiang Nansun and said, "Your boyfriend should be from an ordinary family.
?Otherwise your parents wouldn’t do this.”
"Yes, he has reached where he is today step by step through his own efforts. He wants to stay in school to teach and then study for a Ph.D., and there is a great hope that he can stay. He also has a third room in Sanlin.
The house will definitely get better and better in the future.”
Glancing at Jiang Pengfei, who was in pain next to him, Wang Yan knew that he must have met Zhang Anren. He shook his head and smiled: "The house price in Sanlin seems to be around 30,000, right? Most houses with three bedrooms cost 100,000 yuan."
About 20 square meters. The total house payment is 3.6 million, and the down payment is 30%, which is 1.1 million. The loan is 2.5 million, and the repayment is in 30 years. The base interest rate will be higher, which should be 5
A little more than that, the monthly payment is about 15,000 yuan."
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"You said that he got to where he is today step by step through his own hard work. So how did a student earn 1.2 million? How could he be able to pay the monthly payment?"
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "I'm not lying to you, I just want to say that without the help of his parents, he wouldn't be able to buy a house. And he can afford 1.2 million, and he still pays more than 10,000 every month.
His family's financial situation is pretty good. It's just that in Shanghai, a place where rich people gather, he looks very poor. If it were in his hometown, with his family's conditions, he should be able to survive
Very comfortable. Maybe he is very motivated, but at this time, it is still impossible to reach where he is now on his own before leaving campus."
Among the characters who appear in this drama, except for the unnamed supporting characters, Zhang Anren should be the second to last poorest, and the last to last poorest is his ex-girlfriend Yuan Yuan. But even so, it seems that Yuan Yuan will also be the poorest one later.
More glamorous than Zhang Anren.
So the current TV series are really not good, and they are really out of touch with the masses. After all, not all families can afford the down payment of 1.2 million, it is cash. And Zhang Anren is in such unrealistic circumstances, he can say anything.
He earned it himself, which is a flaw in the plot.
People have seen too much on the Internet, which seems to have weakened the general public's understanding of money. They don't think how much money is a difficult number, which is very bad. In life, you still have to be a little bit obsessive about numbers.
The day when it becomes hard and swollen...
Jiang Nansun was stunned for a moment. She wanted to defend her boyfriend, but this was indeed the truth. At the moment, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she was speechless, Jiang Pengfei said: "Is it because you are in finance or you are so meticulous in accounting? Let me tell you, Wang Yan, she told me before that her boyfriend worked so hard and was so nice to her.
I just felt something was wrong. It must be that boy who took a fancy to her conditions and wanted to take advantage of her..."
"Dad, Zhang Anren is not that kind of person, can you please stop talking."
"You damn girl..."
Dai Qing exclaimed: "Okay, today I'm treating Mr. Wang to dinner, not here to discipline my daughter. The food has been served, let's start eating."
Soon, the dishes were put on the table one after another. After drinking the dry red wine that I had woken up early, I started to eat.
Without talking about stocks with Jiang Pengfei, Wang Yan looked at the unhappy Jiang Nansun with a smile: "I heard that you majored in architecture?"
"Aren't you in finance? Do you also understand architecture?" Although Jiang Nansun was not very polite, he still had a brain. If Wang Yan didn't understand, then what was he talking about? Was he just trying to show off in this regard?
When a person has an opinion on a certain person, it is inevitable that he will wear colored glasses. But the fact is that Jiang Nansun is not worthy of Wang Yan's showoff. It's just that there are not many topics on the table now, and he doesn't want to talk to Jiang Pengfei anymore
stocks, so I picked up what Jiang Nansun knew and started chatting.
He raised his glass to signal to the others, took a big sip of wine, savored it for a while, and then nodded: "I know a little bit, but I don't know what you think of architecture?"
This was a big question, but Jiang Nansun was doing well in his studies, but he also wanted to make things difficult. He chattered up a bunch of professional terms, talking about clouds and mountains, and seemed to understand very well.
Of course Wang Yan understands. After all, he has not been a master of architecture for a long time, and his professional knowledge is of course excellent. From people and nature, architectural structures to domestic and foreign architecture, he also talked about specific interior decoration design, building materials, and
There are other world-famous buildings and so on.
So the result was no surprise. At the beginning, Jiang Nansun wanted to expose Wang Yan's pretense, make him unable to get off, and make him lose face. Later, it gradually turned into a discussion with each other, and finally it became a matter of course to ask for advice.
In this process, Jiang Nansun's impression of Wang Yan has certainly changed. At least he no longer talks with guns and sticks. He also took out his mobile phone and added each other on WeChat, saying that he would like to ask for advice if he doesn't understand anything in the future...
"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you to have such high attainments in architecture. It's a pity that you are in finance. If you were in architecture, I believe that with your strength, you would be able to win the Pritzker Prize."
The Pritzker Architecture Prize is the highest international award in the field of architecture. Of course, Pritzker gave Wang Yan the award during the previous one, but he ignored it. Architecture is considered supreme by many people, but it really doesn’t matter to him.
.After all, he designs and builds himself, and he doesn’t rely on his reputation to get ahead, so he still wants others to recognize his level?
He shook his head and said: "I have really thought about engaging in architecture, but I have to design based on other people's ideas and endure the criticism of Party A. I really don't want to do it. And if I want to design a project and build it myself, I don't have that much.
I don’t have enough money, so I just treat it as a hobby and learn about it occasionally.”
