My Side Job is a Trader

"Your mother is not a stingy person. For so many years, if I hadn't saved money for your education, how could you have paid off all your debts before you graduated? fall?"

The room fell into silence.

Compared with many people of the same age, Zhang Xin can be said to have lived a hard life. When he was a child, he also experienced the days of lack of food and clothing. At the most exaggerated time, the family only had money to buy rice. He could only eat wild vegetables that He Cuizhen had dug from the mountains, let alone meat.

What is still fresh in Zhang Xin's memory is that He Cuizhen once picked up a half-rotten apple in the river, and the family of three shared half of the apple to eat.

What Zhang Xin has heard most since he was a child is that his family has no money.

He Cuizhen has been diligent and thrifty all her life, and has formed a habit.

But He Cuizhen also has a weakness, that is good face.

But when dealing with outsiders, she is often very magnanimous. She always shows her best side to outsiders, but on the contrary, she is very harsh on herself.

For example, this time, Zhang Xin still used the reason of meeting his future in-laws to coax them into buying new clothes, doing styling, and even buying a complete set of jewelry for his daughter-in-law just to win.

Soon three or four shop assistants came in, each holding a few boxes in their hands.

A well-dressed woman enthusiastically introduced each jewelry to Zhang Xin's family.

He Cuizhen put all the jewelry together, first eliminated two sets, and looked around for the remaining three sets of jewelry, and thought they were all good, so it was difficult to make a decision right away.

When Zhang Xin saw it, he knew what to do with it, and said to the clerk, "What are the prices of these three sets of jewelry?"

"The price of the three sets is about the same, and each set is about 25,000."

"Then take it all, can there be a discount?"

"If sir wants all three sets, we can erase the odds."

Zhang Xin didn't talk nonsense and handed over the bank card directly.

He Cuizhen scolded: "Stinky boy, you can't waste it like this when you have money. Mom is going to take a closer look before making a decision."

"Mom, I've already done the math. You have one set for yourself, one set for the girl, and one set for the old lady. Isn't that exactly three sets?"

"I can understand giving your sister a set, but why do you have to keep a set for your mother? My mother is an old woman, and it's too ostentatious to wear gold and silver."

Zhang Xin complained secretly in his heart: Obviously he is very eager for gold, but he insists on pretending to be calm and breezy.

"Mom, look at your outfit. Without the jewelry, you always feel that there is something missing. You can put on the necklace and bracelet, so that the outfit is complete."

After He Cuizhen put on the jewelry, Zhang Xin took out his mobile phone and took a photo to show He Cuizhen.

Looking at it this way, it really feels like an old lady from a rich family.

I took the bank card and three sets of jewelry from the clerk, and drove to People's Square.

"Dad, Mom, do you want to see your son's company?"

"Huh? Is your company here?"

"It's not far from here. I'll park the car in the company's parking garage later, and then I'll take you for a walk along Jinling Road. At night, I'll go to the Bund to see the night view."

"Hmph, it's not like I haven't been to the Bund a few years ago."

Zhang Xin said while driving: "It must have been the years when my sister opened a store in Shanghai to do business. It has been several years."

Park the car and charge the car by the way.

"Do you want to take things up first?"

He Cuizhen looked at the clothes and jewelry on the car, worried that it would not be safe to put them in the car.

Zhang Xin opened the trunk and said: "Put everything in the trunk, people won't be able to see it, and no one will smash the glass. Of course, this kind of thing doesn't happen here. There are surveillance everywhere, so it's very safe. "

When I returned to the company, the only three employees were sticking to their posts because they hadn’t finished work yet, but Zhang Xin knew that they were all paddling for fish. nothing happened.

"Zhang Qingqing, book two hotels for me, the ones nearby, and tell me the details when you're done."

The company is not big, so Zhang Boyu and He Cuizhen went around and looked at it.

Then the three of them were going to have a look at the "Ten Mile Foreign Market". Before leaving, Zhang Xin specially ordered the administrator to book two rooms in his own name.

Along the bustling Jinling Road, the three watched while walking.

Zhang Xin has visited this road at least three times this year, but each time he is accompanied by a different person.

When they walked to the end of Jinling Road, it was time for dinner. Zhang Xin led the elders to a relatively high-end restaurant for dinner. He Cuizhen, who was used to thrift, was stunned.

After night fell, the three of them took a walk along the Bund to digest their stomachs.

"Son, unless there are special circumstances in the future, don't spend money like this today. Mom also knows that you want to show us the world today, so that didn't stop you."

Zhang Xin agreed with his mouth, but he still went his own way in his heart and used it as he needed it. Anyway, the money came easily.

Early the next morning, the family of three set off with their suitcases.

On the high-speed rail, He Cuizhen felt emotional again. She had only taken that kind of green leather train before, which was not only slow, but also very crowded.

Looking at the flying scenery outside the window, He Cuizhen realized that the world was no longer the one she was familiar with.

Running a boat was better when I was young, at least I could see the world. After working in the factory, I have been living a two-point and one-line life. I occasionally go back to my hometown. After more than ten years, they have already lost touch with this society. .

"My God, old man, how can the train run so fast now? Isn't that almost the same as the plane?"

After all, Zhang Boyu often looks at his mobile phone, so he still has some understanding of high-speed rail, but he has never experienced high-speed rail himself, and this time he has experienced it.

"The plane is much faster than this, but the plane needs to go to the airport to wait for the flight in advance, and the airport is generally far away from the city, and it usually takes an hour to go back and forth. In fact, the high-speed train is not much slower, and it is comfortable to take the high-speed train."

Zhang Xin has taken high-speed rail planes before, so he has a good say in this regard.

Five hours later, the three of them took a taxi directly from Jingshi South Railway Station and returned to the apartment. Zhang Boyu and He Cuizhen looked around the house curiously.

Zhang Xin poured a glass of water for the two of them, and said, "This is also an apartment I bought. It is now my foothold in the capital, and the girl's school is opposite, so it is very convenient to live here."

He Cuizhen stood in front of the window, followed the direction of Zhang Xin's finger, and saw the Jingshi Academy of Art.

"How much did you pay for it?"

He Cuizhen's first reaction when looking at things is still to care about the price. This is a habit that cannot be changed in a short time.

Zhang Xin made a "eight" sign with his hand: "I bought it in full for 800,000 yuan."

"Why is it so cheap? Compared with the housing prices in the Shanghai stock market, the capital and the Shanghai stock market should not be less expensive, right? In the Shanghai stock market, you can't buy a house without a few million, but you can buy it with 800,000 in the capital?"

Zhang Xin had no choice but to explain: "This is an apartment, and the water and electricity are all for commercial use, which is twice as expensive as civilian use. Then there is no school district, no household registration, and almost no other added value except for living, so it is so cheap. of."

He Cuizhen also only listened to the general idea, and understood that the apartment is not as good as a pure house, so it is sold cheaply.
