Chapter 302 It's a real pity
Upon hearing the news of Lin Dongzhe's return, Xiang Pengfei immediately rushed over.
He's currently staying at the compressor factory, sharing a room with Zhuang Tunan and his wife. Of course, it's not a single room; after renovations, there will be two separate bedrooms, so privacy is still possible.
"Now you can talk about it, right? It took me a lot of effort to convince my mom to agree to my resignation."
The process was far from smooth; Zhuang Hualin still believed that a secure job was more stable. He presented Pengfei with facts and reasoned with him, but it was only Huang Ling's layoff that gave him the opportunity to persuade her.
Xiang Peng: "So what? You're asking me to resign, what are we supposed to do next?"
"Start with supermarkets and gradually develop the logistics system," Lin Dongzhe advised Xiang Pengfei.
Xiang Pengfei scratched his head. "Supermarket? What's that?"
"It's just a large supermarket, except the goods are all displayed, and everyone goes in to choose what they want, and then pays at the same time."
Xiang Pengfei stared blankly. "You just said you wanted to vigorously develop the internet, and then you turn around and ask me to open a large convenience store?"
But after imagining what that "convenience store" would look like, Xiang Pengfei's eyes gradually lit up. "A convenience store might work! It has potential! But it would require a huge investment, right? Where are we going to find so much money?"
Lin Dongzhe pointed to the ICBC bank.
Xiang Pengfei shoved Lin Dongzhe, "You want me to rob a bank?"
Lin Dongzhe was amused. "I mean, the money is all in the bank, and we only need to access it when we need it."
Where did you get the money?
Lin Dongzhe: "Of course, we found investors."
Supermarkets and logistics are just the first step; the internet is the next development plan. Lin Dongzhe had already thought it all out for Xiang Pengfei, but given Xiang Pengfei's current unstable personality, he decided to take it one step at a time.
After spending her last summer vacation, Zhuang Xiaoting returned to Shanghai with Lin Dongzhe.
After winter set in, the city issued new policies.
To meet the demands of a market economy, all housing needs to be restructured. For residents, this means that houses that were originally allocated to them, with ownership held by the state or collectives, can now be purchased!
Upon hearing this news, Lin Dongzhe returned to Suzhou from Shanghai.
Song Ying was also surprised to see Lin Dongzhe return. "Dongzhe, why are you back?"
"I have something to tell you all!" Lin Dongzhe pulled out his bankbook. The contents of the bankbook were all handwritten, but they were clear and easy to understand, and Song Ying quickly deciphered them.
With slightly trembling hands, she handed the passbook to Lin Wufeng, who then examined it.
Lin Wufeng frowned. "How do you have so much money?"
Lin Dongzhe is still in school and will graduate in at least another year. Lin Wufeng couldn't help but worry about Lin Dongzhe suddenly having so much money while he was in school.
Lin Dongzhe took the passbook back. "The money was all obtained through legitimate channels, so you can rest assured! As you know, Xiaoting and I both studied economics. Our teacher was a professor who had returned from studying abroad and was very familiar with the US financial system. Xiaoting and I started to get into finance on her advice, and this money was all earned from the stock market."
“Xiaoting also got a portion, which I’ve already transferred to her account. When I called last time, Mom said that employees were allowed to buy houses, so I came back. I was worried you might be concerned about the money, so I came back to give it to you and also to Aunt Huang’s family. I came back specifically to explain so you wouldn’t worry.”
Lin Wufeng didn't understand; the terms "finance" and "securities" were beyond his comprehension. However, he believed Lin Dongzhe's assurance that everything was legal, as Lin Dongzhe was always very prudent in his actions.
It took them a while to process the fact that they had become "very wealthy".
"How...how are we going to live from now on?"
Just live life as usual! Apart from not daring to publicize it, everything else is normal.
Both families slightly relaxed their spending limits, but all four parents had already gotten used to frugality and did not exhibit any nouveau riche behavior.
Song Ying suddenly felt that it wasn't worth it for her to put in so much effort to string those beads and earn that hard-earned money!
They decided not to continue either, so after finishing the last batch, they told Lin Dongzhe that they would quit.
After a period of time, the two gradually adapted to the fact that they were "laid-off workers" and no longer lost control of their emotions.
But we can't let the two of them sit idle, or something bad will happen.
So Lin Dongzhe asked Xiang Pengfei to bring the two of them a large tape recorder with a loud sound. He then had a junior from the music department record some dance music so the two of them could go to the square to dance.
He had never forgotten his idea of having the two of them go square dancing. However, neither of them could accept "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend," feeling that the song was too unconventional, which Lin Dongzhe regretted.
Back in Shanghai, Lin Dongzhe began a new round of busy work.
Professor Xu Limin mentioned to Zhuang Xiaoting that the university was planning to expand several majors and needed to supplement the teaching staff.
Lin Dongzhe understood Xu Limin's meaning, but he was afraid that only one of them would be kept at school.
Zhuang Xiaoting hugged Lin Dongzhe. "It's okay. If you stay at school, I can find a job nearby."
Lin Dongzhe certainly wouldn't let that happen.
Zhuang Chaoying is extremely concerned about her job and household registration. Although Huang Ling doesn't say it, she is also very concerned about this matter. If Zhuang Xiaoting suffers any injustice because of them, the two of them will still put all the pressure on Zhuang Xiaoting, just like in the drama.
Fortunately, there was still time, so Lin Dongzhe could try to make a move.
After the New Year, Lin Dongzhe knew that his efforts had paid off.
Both of them received offers to stay at the university, but they were not in the same department.
After securing a job, Lin Dongzhe bought an apartment near the school and then took Zhuang Xiaoting to choose a car. Zhuang Xiaoting knew exactly how much money Lin Dongzhe had, so she didn't feel any remorse.
The real estate market boomed even more that year, with more developers appearing in Shanghai. Advertisements from real estate companies filled newspapers and on the radio. Houses were becoming increasingly easier to buy, as long as you had the money.
Li Jia and Wu Shanshan came to offer their congratulations. After touring the unfinished house, both of them expressed their envy.
Wu Shanshan envies Zhuang Xiaoting for being able to tie Lin Dongzhe down, while Li Jia envies such a big house!
After viewing the house, the four of them went to the restaurant.
Zhuang Xiaoting suddenly brought up the topic, "Sister Shanshan, when Uncle Wu saw me last time, he asked me why I didn't find a boyfriend."
Wu Shanshan didn't expect Zhuang Xiaoting to ask that question suddenly. "I... haven't met the right person yet."
"So what kind of person do you think would be suitable? Some of our classmates are still single. If you don't mind that they are young, I can introduce them to you." Zhuang Xiaoting made another move.
Wu Shanshan couldn't resist any longer and looked at Lin Dongzhe, "I don't mind the age difference, but I want to wait and see. What if our time isn't right yet?"
