Chapter 227 Getting Rich
The man nodded heavily: "Okay!"
"My name is Wang Zewei. My parents are both teachers. From a young age, they instilled in me the idea of taking the civil service exam, believing that working within the system was the best job in the world and that other jobs were insignificant.
I have been a very obedient person since I was young. After graduating from university, I returned to my hometown, was admitted to a local key high school, and became a high school biology teacher.
But the longer I work as a teacher, the more I feel that life is meaningless.
I contribute to other people's lives every day, but I haven't figured out my own life yet.
Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
When Wang Zewei spoke for Mei Ling'er, it seemed as if he was asking himself and the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.
How many people can truly live with understanding? It's rare to be confused, so why bother being so serious?
[Yes, isn't this how we all go through life? Studying, working, getting married, and having children. This is the life of an ordinary person.]
[The person above probably doesn't realize how fortunate you are. Most people can't do what you say. Just referring to the first item, reading, many people can't even reach it.]
[But this is his life, he wants his own life, what's wrong with that? ]
What Wang Zewei didn't expect was that what he said almost caused the audience in the live broadcast room to quarrel.
"These are all things of the past. I quit my job as a teacher a long time ago and now I am the head of a company.
Over the years, I've earned much more money than I ever could as a teacher, but my parents still feel deep down that my decision was wrong. They believe that all the money I've earned might be lost one day.
Unlike being a teacher, you can receive a salary every month and a generous pension after retirement.
My parents have a pretty good pension, but if I continue to work as a teacher, I don't know how much I'll get when I'm able to collect my pension, and whether it will be enough to cover my basic monthly living expenses."
In the minds of parents, a stable job is the best, and other jobs are inferior to it.
Although Wang Zewei has achieved some success over the years, he has never received any praise from his parents.
"But recently, my parents recommended a relative who's in business to me. They're very optimistic about him. As long as I can cooperate with him, they'll be very happy, and I've also made some money, so everyone is happy."
[The fortune you're asking about isn't related to that relative of yours, is it?]
Is it okay to do business with relatives? Some people just like to take advantage of their acquaintances...?
[Yes, many people deliberately take advantage of those around them, especially those they are close to.]
As he spoke, Wang Zewei started laughing again.
"I had this concern at first, thinking it was not a good idea to do business with relatives. I was worried that not only would the business fail, but it would also hurt the relationship between relatives."
Wang Zewei felt deeply ashamed when he thought about his initial suspicions about his relatives, worrying that they might be trying to defraud him of his investment through his parents' connections.
If it weren't for his parents' insistence, he would have missed out on such a good partner.
The company will not achieve such good results this year.
When people first heard Wang Zewei talk about his childhood experiences and how his life was controlled by his parents, they felt a little sympathy for him.
But unexpectedly, he followed his parents' advice and started a business with his relatives.
Just when everyone was grieving over his misfortune and angry at his lack of resistance, Mei Ling'er spoke up:
"The getting rich you mentioned is related to that relative?"
Wang Zewei was stunned. He didn't expect Mei Ling'er to ask this question suddenly.
However, the purpose of his coming to the live broadcast room was to have some idea in his mind.
Since the host asked, he must tell the truth.
"My parents talked to me about this investment project. My relationship with them has been strained for years, and I'm having a hard time with it. They're getting older, and their hair is turning gray. Since they're willing to talk to me, I have to be there for them.
Last week, I went home to have dinner with them, and they told me about a former colleague's son who had a massive project with returns that were worth several times their original targets. I laughed, thinking their colleague must be bragging. My parents' colleagues' families are similar to mine; how could their children possibly be involved in such a large-scale project?
I told my parents to just listen and not take it seriously. But they didn't let it go, nor did they argue with me like they usually do. Instead, they took me to visit the company of a colleague's son, who gave me a detailed introduction to their company and detailed information about the project.
【When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. It's better to be careful.】
[Yes, what a big company! To be able to take on such a large project, it must be very famous!]
[But I always have a vague feeling that something is wrong, and things will never be that simple.]
Mei Linger heard Wang Zewei's words and asked:
"Your parents said the guy was their colleague's son, and you believed him?"
Wang Zewei nodded and stared at the phone screen suspiciously.
Mei Ling'er sighed softly: "Have you continued to learn more about that company and obtained information about it through multiple channels?"
As a businessman, Wang Zewei will definitely do these basic tasks.
"of course."
"I hired someone to investigate the company, and they said there were no issues. I even considered visiting the company to conduct an on-site inspection, after all, seeing is believing.
My subordinates and I were about to leave when my parents called to tell me they had signed up for a family tour, a trip for two adults and one parent. They were offering a 50% discount for same-day departures, so they immediately called me and asked me to go with them.
I gave the task of conducting an on-site inspection of the company to my subordinate, and then went on a trip with my parents. After returning, my subordinate reported to me on the inspection and said everything went well.
Mei Ling'er snorted and laughed. This company has quite a few spies.
Even Wang Zewei's itinerary is known clearly.
There is nothing they can't do.
They managed to get Wang Zewei away this time, and they will definitely succeed next time.
"What tour did your parents sign you up for? Is it fun?"
Wang Zewei didn't expect Mei Ling'er to care about this, but he still answered honestly:
"Honestly, the experience was pretty bad. They didn't have anything we wanted, and they kept asking us to buy things at certain stores. I felt like they were specifically trying to rip off the elderly, but my parents seemed quite happy and bought a lot of local specialties recommended by the staff, so for their sake I didn't say anything."
Mei Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards him when she heard him thinking so much about his parents.
"You are such a filial son."
