Chapter 980 Excited and Troubled
Sitting in the living room, Zhang Jianguo took out a newspaper to show Sun Xia and the others, and told them that a reporter had come to the logistics company to interview him early this morning.
After listening to Zhang Jianguo's story and looking at the newspaper in her hand, Sun Xia felt dizzy and couldn't react for a while.
"Is this true or false?" Sun Xia asked.
"It should be true. It's in the newspaper, so it can't be false."
"Then it's true!" Sun Xia followed up with this sentence, and suddenly she slapped her thigh and grinned: "Hahaha, I knew my son was capable! Look! Look! He is worthy of being my biological son, and he has become the richest man in the country! Hahaha! Jianguo, Jianguo, are you convinced? What did I say at the beginning? My son is definitely not a person who spends money recklessly. Look! He made so much money with an investment of three hundred thousand US dollars. Who else in the world can be so awesome except my son? Hahaha!"
Sun Xia couldn't stop smiling. How could a mother not be happy when her son had such a promising future? More importantly, Zhang Hao's incident proved that her vision was correct. At the beginning, the couple had a big fight over Zhang Hao's use of funds in the account. Sun Xia insisted that her son was definitely not the kind of person who would spend money recklessly. Since he used the money, there must be legitimate ways to do it. However, Zhang Jianguo didn't believe her no matter what she said, and kept nagging and worrying about this and that.
Now, everything has come to light, proving that Sun Xia was right, which makes Sun Xia feel extremely happy.
Zhang Jianguo's expression froze as he listened, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and quickly changed the subject: "Why are you still talking about this matter after such a long time? The key now is how to solve this matter. I don't dare to go back to the company now. If I go home, there may be reporters waiting outside. This... What kind of thing is this..."
"What do you mean by "what's the matter"? What's the matter? My son has become the richest man, and you, as his father, are not happy? Humph! You have worked so hard for so many years, but the money you earned is not even a fraction of what my son earns. As a father, you are still jealous of your son? Is there any father like you in this world?" Sun Xia was unhappy when she heard it, and directly retorted.
"That's not what I meant..." Zhang Jianguo explained quickly.
"What do you mean by not that? It's clearly jealousy! Yes! It's jealousy!"
"Why would I be jealous? I'm his father. What father would be jealous of his son?"
"Yes! You are!"
The couple immediately started arguing. Zhang Jianguo's face turned red after hearing what Sun Xia said, but the problem was that Zhang Jianguo had never won an argument with a woman, especially his wife. No matter what he said, Sun Xia insisted that he was jealous of his son and couldn't stand his son being better than him. Her chest felt stuffy and her blood pressure rose after hearing these words.
Zhang's mother smiled as she watched her son and daughter-in-law quarreling. Although Zhang's mother came from a poor family, she had lived for so many years and experienced a lot in her life. Some things had already become normal in her mind.
As a grandmother, Zhang A'niang was naturally very happy that her grandson Zhang Hao had such a promising future. However, she did not care much about how much money Zhang Hao earned or how much wealth he possessed.
In her heart, no matter what achievements Zhang Hao has made, he is still her grandson. This is an unchangeable fact. Does it mean that Zhang Hao is no longer her grandson without these achievements? Or is he no longer her grandson with these achievements? Isn't this nonsense?
After all, a grandson is his own grandson. However, Zhang Hao can do this, and Zhang's mother is also sincerely proud of him. Besides, the Zhang family is no longer what it used to be. With the success of Zhang Jianguo and his wife in their careers over the years, the Zhang family can be considered rich and has everything they need. So what does it matter if Zhang Hao is the richest man? This is just normal for this clear-minded old man.
As for the youngest Zhang Pingping, after the initial surprise, she was inexplicably excited. After all, she was still a student, and as a young person, she was definitely vain. Now that her brother had suddenly become the richest man with such a huge fortune, Zhang Pingping couldn't help but get excited.
"Brother makes so much money, he should at least give me some benefits, right? When I was a kid, he often cheated me out of pocket money. Oh, yes! He even cheated me out of my New Year's money when I was in junior high school. He said he would pay it back, but after all these years, I haven't seen a penny."
"Humph! Now I have to ask him to pay ten times... no... a hundred times... no, a hundred times seems too little. How much is appropriate?" Zhang Pingping counted on her fingers, but her math was not very good. It was normal for girls to be bad at science. Anyway, Zhang Pingping gave up the idea of continuing to calculate after a few minutes. There was only one thought left in her mind. The money that she had cheated from her brother must be rewarded handsomely. It should be regarded as part of Zhang Hao's investment in Netscape. Isn't this too much? And Zhang Hao is now the richest man. It is normal for him to give his sister hundreds of millions of pocket money.
That’s right! I will be thinking about what to do after graduation next year. Several smart classmates in school have already started to take advertisements and perform outside. Only I am still a good girl in school to hone my acting skills. In addition, the Zhang family is not short of money, so there is no need for me to take advertisements to make money at this time.
However, when studying at school, Zhang Pingping also had a competitive mentality. Her classmates and seniors were all able to shoot commercials and act in movies. Oh, and there was also Wang Fei (Gou Wa) who came to Shanghai from the mountains!
Speaking of Wang Fei, his acting basics were taught by Zhang Pingping . Zhang Pingping recommended Wang Fei to Lin Yan's company when they were shooting an advertisement. Wang Fei became famous overnight with that advertisement, and at the end of last year he took on a supporting role in a TV series. After the TV series was released this year, Wang Fei became a well-known young actor because of his outstanding performance in the drama. Looking at Wang Fei's achievements, it was impossible for Zhang Pingping not to feel itchy.
However, it was unlikely for her to be the heroine, and even a relatively important supporting role was difficult. Unless her own family, Zhang, invested money in a drama, or asked Luo Yang for help. But what was Zhang Jianguo's temper? How could Zhang Jianguo be willing to invest in her when Zhang Pingping hadn't even graduated yet? As for Luo Yang, Zhang Pingping was too embarrassed to go directly to him. After all, although they knew each other well, there was still a layer of separation between Luo Yang and Zhang Pingping, unlike Song Yuanchao.
Now, my brother has become the richest man. If he wants me to invest in a movie, and let me be the heroine, I will definitely not lose his investment with my acting skills. Maybe the movie will become popular overnight? I will also jump from an unknown student to a popular actress?
The more she thought about it, the more credible it seemed. Zhang Pingping's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, and she was so happy that she covered her mouth with her hands.
While Zhang Jianguo and his wife were still arguing, Lin Yan rushed back after hearing the news. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Jianguo's family sitting in the living room.
"Mother! Uncle, aunt, Pingping..."
"Yan Zi, you're back just in time. Please come and judge who is right and who is wrong in this matter." Before Lin Yan sat down, Sun Xia couldn't wait to pull her to sit next to her, and then told her about what had just happened. She then asked Lin Yan to be the referee and comment on who was right and who was wrong between her and her husband.
Listening to Sun Xia's words, Lin Yan also found it funny. The couple's child was already so grown up, but they were still arguing about this kind of thing like young people. What was there to argue about? Zhang Hao's matter was a good thing. Both Zhang Jianguo and Sun Xia were Zhang Hao's parents. Now that the child had a promising future, the two of them were arguing about this matter. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at if it got out?
"Okay, you might be grandparents in a few years and you're still not sensible enough. You want Yan Zi to be the judge in your affairs? How could you think of that? Yan Zi, ignore them. Come, sit over here with mother." Mother Zhang scolded Lin Yan and then asked her to sit over there.
After the old ancestor spoke, the argument between Sun Xia and Zhang Jianguo stopped. Lin Yan smiled and comforted them with a few words to smooth things over, and then sat down next to Zhang's mother.
"Yan Zi, do you know about Zhang Hao's situation?" Seeing that Lin Yan was not too surprised to hear about this, Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but ask after he came to his senses.
"I just found out about it, too. Yuan Chao was also present when Netscape went public. He called me on the day of the listing." Lin Yan answered directly without any hesitation.
"You knew about this a long time ago, but you deliberately hid it from us? Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Zhang Jianguo was stunned. Lin Yan's words clearly told him that Song Yuanchao had known about this a long time ago, but did not tell him in advance.
"Uncle, I didn't want to hide it from you, it was Yuanchao who didn't let me." Lin Yan explained with a smile and told Zhang Jianguo that Song Yuanchao asked Lin Yan not to tell Zhang Jianguo and the others for the time being, and that he had also discussed it with Zhang Hao at the beginning. Zhang Hao thought that it would be better to give this matter a surprise to the family. If she told it in advance, there would be no surprise.
"This brat!" Zhang Jianguo cursed as soon as he heard it, not knowing whether the brat he was cursing was Song Yuanchao or his own son Zhang Hao.
But I think the latter is more likely. After all, the father and son had a very unhappy quarrel over the $300,000 issue. Maybe Zhang Hao has been holding a grudge, and his purpose is to use this opportunity to show his father and tell him who is right and who is wrong.
On the contrary, Sun Xia didn't think so. In her heart, her son's ability was many times greater than her husband's, not to mention his vision. Three hundred thousand dollars, so much profit, and in such a short time, who else in the world could do it except her son Zhang Hao? No one! No one! As Zhang Hao's mother, Sun Xia was only extremely proud and proud at this time.
"Sister Yan Zi, does this mean that my brother is the richest man?" Zhang Pingping didn't care about anything else. She only cared about whether her pocket money back then had a good return.
"Silly child, of course it's true. It's all reported in the newspapers, and your brother who went to Korea to support us also called me and told me about it." Lin Yan said with a smile, touching Zhang Pingping's head.
Suddenly, Zhang Pingping was overjoyed, as the generous return on her pocket money seemed certain, and her brother had become the richest man, so her dream of becoming the heroine would also come true. Thinking of this, Zhang Pingping clenched her fists, shouted "yeah" in her heart, and her eyes were full of joy.
After talking about Zhang Hao for a while, Zhang Jianguo remembered the current situation. He quickly asked Lin Yan when Song Chaoyuan could come back. They couldn't hide here forever, could they? Zhang Hao's case was so big now. There were so many reporters looking for their whereabouts. He and Sun Xia had work to deal with, and Zhang Pingping had to go back to school. It was not a good idea to hide here forever.
Lin Yan comforted them and told them not to rush for the time being, as Song Yuanchao would be back in a few days and it would be the weekend soon anyway, so they should rest at home for a few days to let the noise outside die down, and then discuss how to deal with it after Song Yuanchao returns.
