Chapter 1253 Miss Yingying, the first New Year’s Eve
Not long after Yang Cheng came back, everyone tidied up and prepared to leave. Xie Qiao took her wallet and ran to check out.
Wang Ying, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin all agreed that they should share equally. As for the men, they were not included. Zhou Chen had invited them to dinner before, or they had helped out.
A lively birthday party ended like this, and everyone went home separately.
For Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, the small conflict at the KTV was just a small episode and did not affect their emotions at all.
Zhou Chen also understood what Yang Cheng meant. Yang Cheng felt that he was helping Zhou Chen. After all, he felt that although Zhou Chen was rich, there has been a saying in China since ancient times that the people do not fight with the officials.
Shen Di's family has power. Even if Zhou Chen is rich, he will definitely suffer if there is a quarrel. He stepped forward to solve the problem, so he felt that he helped Zhou Chen.
It's just that he didn't know that Zhou Chen and what he thought were not the same thing at all. Zhou Chen was not afraid of Shen Di, let alone the Shen family. He just didn't want to show off his power with a second generation, which was boring, so he didn't take it to heart and followed the trend. I accepted his love.
As soon as she got home, Wang Ying couldn't wait to run back to the house. She didn't even take off her clothes and threw herself on the bed.
"I'm so sleepy, don't call me tomorrow morning. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally."
"It's okay not to call you tomorrow, but Miss Yingying, should you take a shower now? You smell like alcohol."
Wang Ying rolled over and sat up, eyes wide open, staring at Zhou Chen.
"How do you know my nickname is this? Did Yang Cheng tell you?"
"I don't know your nickname, Miss Wang Ying. I call you Miss Yingying. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, but you don't know, I used to hate people calling me Miss Yingying."
Zhou Chen asked: "Then if I call you Miss Yingying, will you be angry?"
Wang Ying puffed up her face and immediately burst into laughter: "Of course not, others can't, but you are not someone else, you can scream if you want. Anyway, it's not like you have never screamed more disgustingly, I'm used to it. whee."
"Silly, do you still want to take a shower?"
"Yes, but I'm really tired and sleepy. Can you carry me?"
Wang Ying spread her hands and acted coquettishly.
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, of course, I can't ask for it."
When Wang Ying screamed "Ah", Zhou Chen immediately picked up the princess and went straight to the bathroom.
Wang Ying, who was already very tired, became even more tired when she came out of the bathroom. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Zhou Chen also fulfilled her wish. He didn't call her the next day, nor did he go out. He was bored, so he turned on the computer and watched Hong Kong movies from the 1980s and 1990s.
Although the previous movies had no special effects and the graphics were not that great, they were really good-looking, fast-paced, and had a good plot. The most important thing is that the actors all have their own characteristics, and the heroines also have their own beauty, and they are not all the same. Internet celebrity face.
Wang Ying turned over in a daze, reached out and touched her side, and found that no one was there, so she opened her eyes sleepily.
Not seeing Zhou Chen, she took her mobile phone from the bedside table and saw that it was already past one in the afternoon. She went to bed at about two o'clock last night, and she slept for eleven hours, which was really long enough.
"No wonder I'm hungry, he really didn't call me."
Putting on her pajamas and dragging her slippers, she walked out of the master bedroom, and then saw Zhou Chen in the second bedroom. Zhou Chen was sitting in front of the computer, wearing a headset.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen turned around and saw Wang Ying, so he took off the headset, stood up from the chair, and walked towards Wang Ying.
"Wake up."
Helping Wang Ying wrap up her pajamas: "Did you sleep comfortably?"
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Looking at you sleeping so soundly, I didn't call you. You must be hungry. I'll call someone to cook something right now."
"Well, I'm very hungry. I want you to accompany me to wash up."
"I'll make a call first."
By the time they finished eating, it was already past three o'clock.
Wang Ying stretched out and cheered happily: "Resurrected with full blood."
After she regained her energy, she took Zhou Chen out to play, go shopping, watch movies, and have candlelight dinners...
On Sunday, Wang Ying took Zhou Chen to the barber shop where she usually gets her hair done. She had her hair permed and dyed in a few hours.
The female barber who was doing Wang Ying's hair looked at Zhou Chen, who had been sitting next to Wang Ying, and said to Wang Ying in an envious tone.
"Your boyfriend is so kind to you. He stayed with you for hours and never left. Many beauties who come to us to get their hair done don't bring their boyfriends with them. Even if their boyfriends come, they can't sit there for long.
You are the most patient boyfriend I have ever seen, and I never rushed you once."
Wang Ying glanced at Zhou Chen, who was sitting next to him reading a book, and showed a happy smile: "Is that so?"
"Yes, your boyfriend is not only patient, but also very handsome. He has a good figure. He looks like a model. If he had a different hairstyle, he would definitely be more handsome than a big star."
Wang Ying's smile froze, how could she reverse things so quickly, boasting so well on the front foot, and start selling business on the back foot?
"Next time, next time."
Time passed quickly, and it was the end of 2002 in the blink of an eye. On the New Year's Eve, the last day of 2002, Wang Ying did not go home, but spent the New Year's Eve with Zhou Chen.
On the countdown to New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying stood on the balcony hugging each other, looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, their faces full of joy.
"Zhou Chen, this is our first New Year's Eve. I want to make a wish. Every year in the future, we can spend New Year's Eve together."
Wang Ying looked up at Zhou Chen, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhou Chen looked down at her, his eyes full of affection: "As long as you are willing, we will be together every New Year's Eve from now on, and no one can separate us."
Wang Ying hugged him tightly: "Of course I am willing, this year, next year, the year after that, and every year after that..."
New Year's Eve for two people is naturally the most important part. It's two o'clock in the morning again, but Wang Ying still doesn't feel sleepy at all.
She leaned on Zhou Chen's chest and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Zhou Chen, why are you so nice to me?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I'm just a little weird. Although I have never been in love, I have seen others do it, but I always feel that our relationship is different from others. You are so good to me. We have been dating for almost a year.
, I’ve never blushed or had a quarrel, isn’t it a bit abnormal?”
"Then according to your opinion, it's normal for us to have a quarrel?"
"Oh, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that the reason why we don't blush or quarrel is because you are so good to me and accommodate me in everything. Compared with you, I feel that I have a lot of problems. You have such conditions.
Okay, why do you like me and treat me so well?"
Wang Ying raised her head and stared at Zhou Chen with a serious expression, wanting to know the answer from Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and replied: "If I have to give one reason, I think it is that there is God's will in the world. Just like when I came to this world, it was God's will. God's will allowed us to meet, and then I
Falling in love with you."
"As for why I'm so nice to you, it's very simple. I like you, so I want to be nice to you. And why I don't blush or quarrel, maybe because I think more; think about it, if we quarrel
, if it’s short, you don’t talk or see each other for a few hours, or if it’s long, if you don’t talk or see each other, you don’t talk or see each other for a few days or more, how uncomfortable it would be, and then I would still have to coax you, apologize, buy you gifts, etc..."
"If you think about it carefully, it's not worthwhile to quarrel. It's better to just keep getting along. Do you think this is true?"
"Not at all."
Wang Ying bit Zhou Chen gently.
Zhou Chen pretended to cry out in pain, then hugged her tightly and said softly: "The most important reason is to like you. I like you and love you, so I want to be good to you. And because of this,
I just want to keep being nice to you so that you won’t be able to leave me or live without me in the future.”
Wang Ying hugged Zhou Chen tightly and said softly: "No, I can't live without you now. We are so good now that I can't imagine the scene when you are not by my side in the future. I hope we will always be together."
Let's all go on so well, eat together, study together, live together..."
"It's not a hope, it's a certainty. Whatever you say, we will definitely achieve it."
"Well, let's work hard together."
…………
The arrival of 2003 means that this semester's classes have come to an end, winter vacation is coming, and it's time for the scumbag students to cram for a while.
The four people in dormitory 213, except for the top student Xiao Qianxi, Wang Ying, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin, all started cramming.
Xu Lin is the type who doesn't want to work hard. He doesn't study hard enough. By the end of the semester, he will naturally have to work hard to pass.
Xie Qiao is better than Xu Lin, but she is also limited, and her talent is not very good, so at the end of each semester, she also needs to work hard to ensure that she does not fail the class.
As for Wang Ying, she works hard, but the problem is that falling in love takes too much time. Studying is not as interesting as falling in love, so she has to cram in temporary arrangements.
But she is different from Xie Qiao and Xu Lin who are cramming. They want to ensure that they do not fail the exam, while Wang Ying has higher requirements for herself and wants to get high scores.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Ying returned to the dormitory with her bag on her back, and then she saw three people struggling with the lamp on.
Xu Lin rubbed his sore eyes and asked Wang Ying who came back: "Wang Ying, the exam is tomorrow. You are still in the mood to go out and play today. You are really generous."
Wang Ying came to the bed and sat down, putting down her bag.
"I didn't go out to play. I went to see the courtyard with Zhou Chen in the afternoon."
"Looking at the courtyard house? What courtyard house are you looking at?"
"He just bought a courtyard house in Dongcheng. He took me over to have a look."
Wang Ying thought about the courtyard house she saw today. Although it was smaller than the previous one, the building looked much better and the cleaning was quite clean. However, the location was not as good as the previous one.
Her words immediately aroused the interest of Xu Lin and the others.
Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "Don't Zhou Chen have two houses in the capital? Why did he buy a courtyard house again? Is he going to live in a courtyard house?"
Xie Qiao was very interested: "Is it that kind of courtyard? Our Denghua Hutong used to be a courtyard. Zhou Chen bought the courtyard. It seems that he misses the living environment of the courtyard in the past. I am also very interested. If I have time, I can
Take me with you to see it, maybe you can dream back to your childhood."
"It's a two-story courtyard house. I don't know what your previous courtyard looked like, but the local buildings should be similar."
Xu Lin asked: "House prices in the capital are quite high. It should cost Zhou Chen a lot to buy a courtyard house, right?"
Wang Ying looked at her and said, "I think it's better for you not to know, so as not to be irritated."
What she said actually made Xu Lin more interested: "From what you say, it must be a lot of money. Is it more like hundreds of thousands or one million?"
In her mind, this was already a huge amount of money. This amount of money could buy a large piece of land in Inner Mongolia.
"Add a zero at the end."
Xu Lin felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "How much? Add a zero, what do you mean? Don't tell me, how many millions more is it?"
By the end of the sentence, her voice was trembling.
"uh-huh."
After receiving Wang Ying's answer, Xu Lin slid directly from the wooden chair to the ground.
Xie Qiao was also surprised and said: "No way, Wang Ying, how many millions is it really worth?"
"Nine million six hundred thousand."
"Nine, nine, nine.6 million?"
Frightened, Xie Qiao and the others were really frightened. None of them could afford 960 yuan, but what they heard now was a deal worth 9.6 million yuan.
Wang Ying said: "I've told you what you don't want to know. Unless you don't listen, I've already told you everything anyway. I don't care if it's more. This is the second courtyard house he bought. He also bought one last year for 10 million.
"
Xu Lin, who had just gotten up, sat down on the ground again. Her face was pale and her eyes were dull. Suddenly, she slapped herself hard.
"I'm a bitch, why do you ask this question?"
Xie Qiao was very curious: "No, Zhou Chen's money was blown by the strong wind? It cost 20 million to buy two courtyard houses. Is the money so worthless now?"
Wang Ying explained: "In Zhou Chen's words, it's not that money is worthless now. He said that housing prices will rise sharply in the future, especially in first-tier cities, so whether it is for rich people or ordinary people, investing in real estate is a
A very good choice; I don’t quite understand the professional words he said, but I can sum it up in one sentence: Buying a house now means making money, and the earlier you buy, the more you will make.”
"is that so?"
Xie Qiao looked thoughtful. When she returned home on New Year's Day, her family had talked about the house. Her parents were interested in buying a house. Could it be that what Zhou Chen said was true?
Xiao Qianxi asked: "Wang Ying, what Zhou Chen means is that housing prices in the capital will become more and more expensive in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to buy a house?"
"Absolutely. Anyway, I think what he said makes sense." Wang Ying had no doubts about Zhou Chen.
Xiao Qianxi thought about the recent news that He Xiaozhou said that his mother's condition was getting more and more serious and that their family was preparing to sell their house to treat his mother's illness.
According to what Zhou Chen and Wang Ying said, house prices will become more and more expensive in the future, so wouldn’t it be a huge loss to sell a house now?
If you sell it now, wouldn’t it be more difficult to buy it later?
Except for Xu Lin who was still counting tens and hundreds of millions, Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi no longer struggled with how much Zhou Chen spent to buy the courtyard house.
Wang Ying didn't know that just a few words of hers would make her two roommates' thoughts wander.
"Xu Lin, is there still hot water?"
"There is hot water. I guessed that you might come back late, so I made a pot for you."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank you. If you have a chance during the exam tomorrow, just let me copy it."
"That's all you've got, right?"
"There's no other way, it's all about living."
After the final exam, it was winter vacation. Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to return to San Francisco, but was preparing to go back around 26 or 7.
At a private open-air golf course, Zhou Chen was playing golf with Uncle Wang Ying.
After just playing for a while, Uncle Wang Ying shook off his hands, patted his waist, and looked at Zhou Chen, who was still flexible, with a smile.
"I'm old, and I won't be able to do it after playing for a while. It's better to be young. Zhou Chen, you can compete in professional competitions at your level."
After playing for a while, he realized that Zhou Chen was deliberately letting him.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "What did you say, uncle? You are in your prime, and we are still children in your eyes."
Uncle Wang Ying laughed and said: "Xiaoying is just a child in my eyes, but you are different. I heard that you acquired several companies last year and even established a laboratory in cooperation with Stanford University. You are really a formidable person."
"I just bought a few factories that were about to close down. It's not something that I can do well. It's not as big as what my uncle did."
"You are so humble. You deserve to be praised. Look at young people like Xiaoying and others, they are still using their family's money. You are much more promising than them."
Although Uncle Wang Ying relied on his brother to win a lot of business, he was naturally capable of opening a company so big. Because of this, he could see that Zhou Chen was not simple. He had been in business for many years. If
Without the help of brothers, he would definitely not be able to compare to Zhou Chen.
"Your Chenxing Capital is very powerful. Have you ever thought about coming to China? The domestic situation is in a stage of rapid development. It will definitely be a great benefit to invest in China at this time."
Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "To be honest with uncle, I have thought about developing in the country, but this is just an idea. After all, my family's industries are now abroad. I need to establish a foothold abroad first before I can develop my business in the country."
I will be more confident to develop in China, and I think there is less pressure to make money from foreigners, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Uncle Wang Ying laughed loudly: "I admire young people like you who are capable, courageous, courageous, and have plans. That's great. I'm very optimistic about you."
"Uncle, you are so complimentary. I am so ashamed of myself."
After handing the clubs to the staff, the two of them walked to the rest area.
From a distance, they saw Wang Ying waving to them, and Zhou Chen also smiled and waved.
"It's a good thing that you young people have your own ideas, but Yingying was the one I watched growing up. She is a good child. I hope you two will always be fine."
Zhou Chen heard what he meant and immediately said: "Uncle, don't worry, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have already recognized each other, and I will definitely not let her down."
"With your words, Yingying's parents and I feel relieved. We will have dinner together in the evening. There is a time-honored private restaurant with very good food. I also have a bottle of good wine. Let's have two drinks together in the evening."
"Listen to uncle's arrangements."
Although Zhou Chen does not want to have too much contact with the Wang family, it is only for business and money. He will not reject ordinary exchanges and visits.
He remembered that an accident happened to the Wang family a few years later, which seemed to be due to the collapse of a bridge, but he felt that this was not the root cause. It was possible that the Wang family had been investigated long ago, and this incident was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
So even though he wanted to remind him, he really didn't know where to start. He had communicated with Uncle Wang Ying twice, and based on his experience, this uncle was not an easy person to talk to.
The reason why I treat him well is, on the one hand, Wang Ying, and on the other hand, his own strength.
Although the Wang family is powerful, in terms of assets now, they may not necessarily have much more than him. After all, it is only 2003, and the wealth of the richest man in the country is only less than 10 billion.
As for cash flow, let alone that, the nine-digit figures in his card and the company's accounts are not fake.
