Zhang Yang explained with a smile: "I bought one just to meet my mother-in-law."
"Screw you! Stop bragging, let's talk about it after we go in first."
Meng Qiaoer still didn't believe it, but she didn't want to waste time on this, so she changed the subject and said, "I just happened to tell my parents that you are a small boss who runs your own company. This new car will make them believe it more."
"A small boss who runs a company? What company?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
He now understood why this girl was waiting for him here, just to collude with him in lies so as not to expose the secret after entering.
It's no wonder that as a star, if her boyfriend had nothing, her parents would definitely let her go back and marry that rich second generation.
"You can just make it up after you get in."
…
Zhang Yang was speechless, but he could only follow her into the hotel. He wasn't afraid of telling lies, but he just felt like he looked like a small boss running a company?
The coffee shop in the leisure area behind the hotel lobby was empty with no customers, but the strong aroma of coffee wafted in it and was intoxicating.
"You sit here for a while, and I'll call them down." Meng Qiaoer took him to a table and said.
"Yeah." Zhang Yang agreed casually.
To put it bluntly, he was still a little nervous and apprehensive, so he put away his previous arrogance and pretended to be serious.
Meng Qiaoer turned around and left. He was the only one standing out in the empty cafe. The waiter quickly came over and said, "Sir, do you need to order a cup of coffee?"
"Well, let's have a drink."
"What flavor do you want?" the waiter asked very politely.
"Whatever." Zhang Yang still hasn't figured out how many flavors of coffee there are, and of course he hasn't drunk coffee a few times at all.
"OK, just a second."
…
Soon the waiter came over with a steaming cup of coffee, and at this time Meng Qiaoer also walked into the coffee shop with a man and a woman.
"Mom and Dad, let me introduce to you, this is my friend Zhang Yang." As soon as she walked into the coffee shop, Meng Qiaoer introduced with a smile.
"Uncle, hello aunt." Zhang Yang stood up and said hello seriously.
"Sit down, sit down and talk."
Meng Qiaoer's father's name is Meng Hanliang. He is in his forties. He wears a pair of glasses, his hair is neatly combed, and he has the aura of a scholar, with the maturity and stability unique to his age.
After seeing Zhang Yang standing up, he smiled and waved hello.
"The elders haven't come yet, but you ordered it yourself first?" Meng Qiaoer's mother curled her lips, with a trace of dissatisfaction on her slightly bloated face.
Her name is Wen Huaiying, her skin is fair and well-maintained, and she was able to give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Meng Qiaoer. Her appearance is naturally full of heritage, but she is slightly fatter.
She has slender willow eyebrows, red lips, a black sweater under a white cape, and a pink satchel on her shoulder. It can be seen that she is still very good at dressing herself up. She looks very noble and very star-like.
Mom's style.
The words just now were obviously against Zhang Yang for asking for a cup of coffee alone. At her age, she still cares about etiquette issues, not to mention she behaves very aloof.
It's no wonder that a famous celebrity mother, who is usually praised and pampered by others, can easily develop such a character and lose herself in the halo of her daughter.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. This is the coffee shop attached to the hotel."
Zhang Yang continued with an innocent smile on his face: "I want to taste the coffee first. If it doesn't taste good, let's find another coffee shop."
Meng Qiaoer rolled her eyes at him and thought, can you tell me such a shameless reason? This is a five-star hotel, how can the coffee not be pure?
"Whatever, we're not that picky." Wen Huaiying put his bag on a chair on one side and sat down at the table unceremoniously.
Meng Hanliang did not continue talking and sat down on a stool on one side. It could be seen that he must be an oppressed role in the family.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Yang didn't know what to say, so he stood up and waved, calling for the waiter to come over.
He also knew nothing about coffee, so he could only take the order and pick up the most expensive one and order a few cups according to the primitive mentality of getting what you pay for.
"I heard from our Qiaoer that you are a small boss who runs your own company?"
"Yes, Auntie, it's just a small business."
Just now, Meng Qiaoer deliberately confessed to lying, so Zhang Yang could only follow what she said to avoid any mistakes. It was rare for him to answer modestly.
"The company is not small, there are dozens of employees." Meng Qiaoer took the coffee brought by the waiter, took a sip and added for him.
She knew that the purpose of her parents' visit this time was to mobilize her to agree to marry the second-generation rich man. Otherwise, how could they make up the lie that Zhang Yang had a company?
Seeing Zhang Yang's serious look, I couldn't help but feel anxious and worried. I thought to myself that a person who used to be quite unconventional, how could he be so honest at a critical moment?
"Only a few dozen employees? Do you know how many employees Huang Ming's company has?"
Wen Huaiying's eyes were filled with disdain and disdain. He twirled his coffee cup with his fingers and continued: "There are hundreds of regular employees and thousands of temporary workers. He is a well-known boss of a large company."
The Huang Ming she mentioned was naturally the second generation rich man she introduced to Meng Qiaoer. It could be seen from her proud and excited face that she was very satisfied.
"Mom, Zhang Yang's company is only in its infancy and will develop very soon."
"I think what Qiaoer said makes sense. Huang Ming's family is rich, but there are rumors in the society that he is a playboy. He just relies on his father to make money."
Meng Hanliang finally couldn't help but speak, and continued with worry on his face: "How can we rest assured that our daughter will marry such a person? It is better for young people to be down-to-earth and start their own business."
When he and Zhang Yang met for the first time, they definitely didn't have a good impression, but his boredom with the rich second generation still made him choose to side with his daughter. Although he didn't directly praise Zhang Yang, he also expressed his approval in disguise.
"What do you know? Who have you ever heard say that Huang Ming has a bad reputation? Do you know how many girls are rushing to marry him?"
Wen Huaiying showed dissatisfaction on his face, and he tapped the table with his fingers hard, making a "bang bang" sound and continued: "His family is rich, and our Qiao'er is also a star. It can be said that we are well matched. Do we have to marry a poor boy?"
To be satisfied? Do you want to watch her suffer in the future?"
Although she didn't call Zhang Yang a poor boy by name, the look of disdain on his face was self-evident when she glanced at him.
"Mom, how can you say that? How do you know that Zhang Yang is a poor boy?" Meng Qiaoer curled her lips and said.
Zhang Yang's Land Rover outside gave her some confidence, so she bluntly contradicted her mother.
"Isn't he a poor boy? Then let him tell himself, how much money can he make in a year? Can he compare with Huang Ming?"
Wen Huaiying saw that Zhang Yang didn't look like a rich man at all, and the clothes he wore were not from famous brands. Especially when he saw that his daughter was so protective of him, she felt even more angry. Of course, it also showed that she wanted her daughter to marry into a wealthy family.
Urgent thoughts.
Even if Zhang Yang drove a Land Rover, Meng Qiaoer thought that he would definitely not be able to compare with Huang Ming, who had a net worth of several hundred million. Hearing Wen Huaiying say this, she could only turn her head to one side in anger and remain silent.
"Auntie, although I only run a small company, I have an income of several hundred million a year." Zhang Yang explained with a smile.
He thought to himself that it had only been more than two months since the hemostatic powder was launched, and he had so much money. To say that he made so much in one year was a kind of modesty, right?
"Several hundred million in income?" Wen Huaiying said in surprise as the hand holding the coffee suddenly paused and almost dropped it on the table.
Not only her, but Meng Hanliang and Meng Qiaoer were also surprised, and their eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Yang.
Especially Meng Qiaoer, she thought she had finally recovered her true nature, but her bragging was too unreliable. Just say tens of millions, but if you insist on getting hundreds of millions, who would believe you with your appearance now?
"Yeah." Zhang Yang replied calmly with a smile.
"What business do you...do?" Meng Hanliang asked doubtfully.
"Yes, young people nowadays like to talk big. How can you make hundreds of millions a year with only a few dozen employees?" Wen Huaiying came back to his senses and immediately had doubts.
"I am engaged in drug development. Although I have very few employees, my profits are very considerable."
Zhang Yang knew in his heart that the more detailed he was, the easier it would be to reveal his secrets, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "I am a student at Donghai Medical University. I started this small company on my own during a work-study program. I just want to train myself and lay a foundation for development after graduation.
"
He said this just to explain that he is not a rich second generation, but he has made so much money by his own ability.
What's more, I can earn so much in school. If I develop in society in the future, wouldn't I be able to make more achievements?
"are you still a student?"
Meng Hanliang was even more surprised, thinking that he had heard of work-study programs. Those are things only poor children can do. Could it be possible that work-study programs can earn hundreds of millions?
"What you say is not reliable at all. It's okay to deceive a girl like our Qiao'er, but how can you deceive us elders?"
Wen Huaiying curled his lips, his expression was very similar to Meng Qiaoer's curled lips, but one showed frivolity and contempt, while the other was extremely cute.
Naturally, she didn't believe Zhang Yang's words, and even despised the young man in front of her. She felt that it was not trustworthy at all to talk about falsehoods.
"I really didn't lie to your aunt."
Zhang Yang continued with a serious and sincere face: "Actually, the pharmaceutical industry is very profitable. My major in university is medicine, so I came up with the business of drug development. It can be regarded as putting my knowledge to use. I can make this little money."
The opportunities I encountered are just good, and I may not make so much money in the future.”
He said these words completely based on the styptic powder. Half truths and half lies are easier to fool people, which has always been his strong point. (To be continued)
