Chapter 1238: Wealth and Status, the Gap Between People

Since the last time Wang Ying announced in front of Zhang Xin in the cafeteria that she was Zhou Chen's girlfriend.

After that, Zhou Chen was spared a lot of trouble. Although many female classmates had a good impression of him and wanted to pursue him, the premise was that he didn't have a girlfriend.

Now he has a girlfriend. Everyone is a top student who was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. They all have their own pride. The atmosphere is not as "open" as it was many years later. It is not good to spread the news of stealing someone's boyfriend. Now everyone cares about reputation to some extent, and few people will do this.

Although Zhou Chen also likes women and the feeling of being surrounded by women, he has rich experience after all, and now he is not as eager as before.

With more experience, the pursuit will change. In the past, it may be the quality and quantity that are pursued, but now it is more about quality.

Wang Ying may not be a stunning beauty in appearance, but she has a different filter, and there are also task bonuses. Anyway, Zhou Chen just thinks that his girlfriend Wang Ying is better than other women and better than others.

The school playground, corridors, wooden benches on both sides of the road, library, canteen...

Zhou Chen and Wang Ying walked through most places in the school together, leaving their footprints in many places. Zhou Chen invited Wang Ying to his dormitory to learn English several times, but Wang Ying did not agree, which became a small regret for him.

He likes to be a teacher, but he has no choice because his students are disobedient.

That day, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying made an appointment to go to the movies together. After watching the movie, they went shopping together.

"When I went home yesterday, my mother asked me about you and me. I told her the truth. She also said that she wanted to invite you to her home."

Wang Ying took Zhou Chen's hand and suddenly talked about this matter.

"Really? Does our mother already know about us?"

Wang Ying stopped with a sneer and looked at Zhou Chen with a weird look.

"You are so shameless, my mom, my mom."

"I am thick-skinned, isn't that what you have defined me as? I know she is your mom, but she will be my mother-in-law sooner or later. Anyway, it is a matter of time, so I called her in advance."

"You are so eloquent and glib. If my parents see you like this, they will definitely think you are unreliable."

Wang Ying rolled her eyes, and she couldn't do anything about Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen held her hand tightly and said softly: "You can rest assured. I only talk like this in front of you. In front of your parents, I promise to be serious and confident, so that they know that you are not at a disadvantage in being my girlfriend."

Wang Ying elbowed Zhou Chen: "There is no disadvantage in love. I am not afraid to take you to meet my parents. Do you dare to go?"

She has the confidence, not only because she likes Zhou Chen, but also because Zhou Chen is presentable.

Even among the young talents she knew, Zhou Chen was extremely outstanding. Even though her father was picky, she knew Zhou Chen well enough to think that he would not show his fear in front of her father.

Zhou Chen smiled confidently: "There is no word 'dare' in my dictionary. As long as you say it, I can go with you now."

"That's more like it."

Wang Ying smiled happily and contentedly.

Zhou Chen could give this answer without hesitation, which meant that Zhou Chen was not afraid to meet her parents. This was a kind of confidence for her.

She was not afraid to take Zhou Chen home to meet her parents, and Zhou Chen was not afraid to go home with her to meet her parents. This was a two-way rush.

"I want to eat ice cream."

"No problem, go buy it, one in your left hand and one in your right hand. Even if I feed you, it's okay. Mouth to mouth."

"Hey, are you disgusting?"

Wang Ying shuddered. Although they had talked for a while, held hands, hugged, and even kissed, it was only a brief contact, and it had not reached a deeper level.

"It's not disgusting. Once you get used to it, it won't be disgusting. I'll show you how to do it now."

"Ah, go away, don't, there are so many people here."

Although Wang Ying struggled hard, Zhou Chen finally held her face and pecked her lips lightly.

Although Wang Ying was usually very generous in front of others, she would become very shy when she was close to Zhou Chen, even more shy than the average novice.

But the more she was like this, the more Zhou Chen liked to tease her, and he was very happy every time.

"There's an Hermès store in front. Let's go shopping. We've been in love for so long, but I haven't bought you cosmetics, clothes, or bags. I saw them today, so let's go shopping."

Wang Ying pulled Zhou Chen: "Forget it, this brand is quite expensive."

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to smooth her messy bangs, and said in a low voice: "For me, buying things for you is only about whether it's suitable, not expensive. Wang Ying, what I told you before was not bragging. I'm very rich, and I earned the money with my own ability, and it has nothing to do with my family."

"So the things I bought for you are all with my own money, which is money I can control. No matter how much you spend, you don't have to feel pressured. Of course, a lady like you will definitely not feel pressured, right?"

Wang Ying glared at Zhou Chen coquettishly, and snorted: "Since you said so yourself, what else can I be afraid of? Today, I'll let you spend a lot of money."

Zhou Chen also smiled.

You need to use different methods to spend money on different women. Wang Ying has never lacked money since she was a child. The fact that she considers his money at this time shows that she really cares about him.

What he was least afraid of was spending money. What he cared about more was that Wang Ying didn't need to hide herself in front of him. She could just be herself. He could afford Wang Ying's spending.

In the Hermès store, Wang Ying put on a cross-dressing show for Zhou Chen, which made Zhou Chen eager to try. When he left, he invited her to go back to the dormitory to learn English again.

Unfortunately, he was still rejected by Wang Ying's gentle tone.

Wang Ying walked into the dormitory with a few handbags, threw the things on the table, and sat down on the chair next to her.

"I'm so tired, Xu Lin, is there any hot water in the water bottle? I want to soak my feet."

The three people in the dormitory all looked at Wang Ying and the bag that Wang Ying put on the table.

Xu Lin jumped down from the upper bunk in one step, rushed to the table, picked up the handbag and looked at it.

"Oh my god, this is Hermès, right? So many, Wang Ying, have you gone to buy them?"

As a woman, she is naturally interested in famous brands, even Xiao Qianxi is no exception. After she came to university, she was exposed to the world and gained a lot of knowledge.

She has also heard of the brand Hermès, which is an international luxury brand. The things of this brand are shockingly expensive.

"Is this Hermès?" Xiao Qianxi was very curious.

Xie Qiao said uncertainly: "It should be real."

Xu Lin said very confidently: "It must be real. Can our Miss Wang Ying buy fakes? It's impossible, but, isn't this too much? Clothes, skirts, shoes, wow, and bags, there are cosmetics in here, so many."

Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi were also shocked. How much money would it cost to have so many luxury goods.

"Wang Ying, didn't you go out with Zhou Chen? Why did you bring back so many things? Don't tell me that these were bought by Zhou Chen for you?"

Wang Ying said casually: "He bought them all. Okay, please move aside. I want to soak my feet. I'm too tired today."

When Xu Lin and the other two heard this, their eyes widened.

"All bought by Zhou Chen. Are you crazy? How much did it cost?"

"There are tickets inside. You can see for yourself. By the way, the perfumes and cosmetics in that bag are all gifts. If you don't mind, take them and share them."

"No, no, Hermès gifts are much better than ordinary cosmetics. Whoever despises them is a fool."

Xu Lin opened the gift bag and saw the perfume inside. His face was full of smiles.

"Qiao Qiao, Qianxi, let's use these together."

Xiao Qianxi was tempted, but still shook her head and said, "It's too expensive, I dare not use it."

Xie Qiao also said, "I have some myself."

"You two are really something, I said it was a gift, we live in the same dormitory, do you need to be so polite?"

Xu Lin was not restrained at all. To be precise, she was used to using Wang Ying's things, but she also worked hard. Usually, the work that belonged to Wang Ying in the dormitory was all done by her, and she also did a lot of fetching water and food.

If Xiao Qianxi and Xie Qiao have a better relationship in the dormitory, then she has a better relationship with Wang Ying.

Xu Lin took out the invoice from the handbag and screamed when he saw it.

"One hundred and sixty thousand, my God, am I dazzled? This set of clothes and cosmetics add up to more than one hundred and eighty thousand?"

Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi were also shocked when they heard this number. What does one hundred and eighty thousand mean?

For Xiao Qianxi, this was a huge sum of money that she could not imagine. Even for Xie Qiao, a local, 180,000 was a very scary number for her.

So much money was exchanged for a set of clothes and a bag, which was a luxury that they could not imagine at all.

Especially for Xiao Qianxi, this simply subverted her values. The clothes she had from childhood to adulthood probably added up to less than 10,000, let alone 186,000.

Xu Lin asked in shock: "Wang Ying, are these really all given to you by Zhou Chen? He paid more than 180,000 alone?"

"Yes."

"I knew Zhou Chen was rich a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be so rich that he would spend 180,000 casually. Is he still a human being?"

"What are you talking about? He is my boyfriend. Speak politely. 180,000 is not a small amount, but I also bought him clothes, which are about the same price."

Wang Ying's words made the three people in the dormitory not know what to say.

Look at his consumption concept. When they were still considering clothes worth dozens of yuan, he had already bought hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Originally, Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi thought that Wang Ying shouldn't let Zhou Chen spend so much money, but now they really have nothing to say. They are giving and receiving, and they don't care about it themselves, so why should they feel sorry for it?

"Comparing people is so annoying." Xu Lin sighed with emotion.

"Miss, please sit down. I will go to get you some water to wash your feet. Thank you for your care all the time, which gives me the opportunity to use international brand cosmetics."

Xu Lin instantly changed and served Wang Ying happily, making Wang Ying very uncomfortable. She didn't want her to help, but she was not happy.

Although Wang Ying was spoiled since she was a child and was used to being served by others, she didn't want to be superior to others in the dormitory, and she wouldn't tell others to do anything for her. The things Xu Lin did were basically her own initiative.

Looking at the luxury goods that Wang Ying casually placed on the table, Xiao Qianxi's eyes were extremely complicated.

She had lived a hard life since childhood and had always wanted to live a good life through her own efforts. However, after arriving in the capital, she discovered that her grades and intelligence, which she was proud of, were nothing in Peking University.

She was inferior to others in every aspect, but she never thought of admitting defeat. She still felt that she would succeed with her own efforts.

But today, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying made her realize another side.

Zhou Chen and Wang Ying spent a random shopping trip and spent an astonishing amount of money that she would never touch in her life.

She rarely envied others, but at this moment, she admitted that she was jealous. She suddenly realized that no matter how hard she tried, she might not be able to reach the heights of Zhou Chen and Wang Ying in the end, let alone live like them. Life.

She suppressed the jealousy in her heart and forced herself to continue studying. Jealousy could not get her what she wanted. Only hard work could make it possible.

Compared to Xiao Qianxi, Xie Qiao was much simpler. She was purely shocked and envious, and was frightened by Zhou Chen and Wang Ying's consumption.

Xu Lin played with the gifts and kept sighing.

"Zhou Chen is really rich. If I can find a man half as rich as him, no, one-tenth as rich as him, I will be satisfied."

Wang Ying soaked her feet and relaxed completely. She smiled softly when she heard Xu Lin's words.

In fact, 180,000 yuan was not dispensable to her. Even though she knew Zhou Chen had money, she was still touched by the way he spent it for her without frowning and swiping his credit card directly.

What she cares about is not money, but attitude.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Chuan and Da Long's pancake stall had been open at the school window for a month. At the end of the month, Qin Chuan took He Xiaozhou, Zhou Chen and Xie Qiao to his rental house to help settle the accounts.

Zhou Chen had nothing to do, so he went with him, but He Xiaozhou did the settling of accounts without him having to do anything.

He Xiaozhou looked at a pile of bills, purchase orders, etc., and clicked the calculator loudly.

Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao rested their heads, looking expectantly at He Xiaozhou settling accounts.

Finally, He Xiaozhou finished the last calculation, stopped tapping his fingers on the calculator, and sighed.

Upon hearing the sigh, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao immediately became nervous.

"How's it going? Did you make any money?"

He Xiaozhou looked serious, slowly turned the numbers on the calculator to Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao, and said seriously: "First month, net profit, 3,260."

In an instant, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao cheered excitedly, and He Xiaozhou also looked excited. The three of them high-fived each other, while Zhou Chen, who was sitting aside, looked at them calmly.

Seeing Zhou Chen's lack of reaction, Qin Chuan rushed over.

"Zhou Chen, we have made money. You and Wang Ying also have shares in this pancake stall. We have made money, which means you have also made money. Get excited."

"Excited? I hold a total of 5% of the shares, 3,000 yuan, and the dividend is given to me, which is only 150 yuan. Tell me, how should I be excited?" Zhou Chen asked.

The smile on Qin Chuan's face froze instantly, but Xie Qiao was very dissatisfied and defended Qin Chuan.

"Zhou Chen, I know that three thousand yuan is nothing to you, but this is only the first month. Qin Chuan has made so much in the first month, and he will only make more in the future. I know that you give Wang Ying spent 180,000 yuan to buy a set of clothes and cosmetics. She didn't care about the profits, but that was different. This was the money Qin Chuan earned with his own hands and hard work, not relying on his family. This was certainly worth getting excited about. "

Qin Chuan stared blankly at Xie Qiao, who was fighting for him, his eyes filled with emotion.

Zhou Chen sighed and said to He Xiaozhou: "Did you hear that I just said one thing and became a villain?"

He Xiaozhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Who asked you to attack Chuanzi? It's not easy to be in Chuanzi. Making so much money in the first month is a happy event. You should be happy for him."

"Okay, I'm happy, I'm happy. Let's celebrate tonight. We won't go home until we get drunk."

"I agree, I agree. I'll treat Dong Laishun tonight and give him a good meal." Qin Chuan raised his hands in agreement.

He Xiaozhou said: "I think it's better to forget it. I have worked so hard to earn so much money in a month. Don't let me eat you until liberation. I just calculated the cost and there is still room for compression. Some raw materials have obviously been purchased too much." , the profit will be higher next month.”

Xie Qiao looked amazed: "Brother Xiaochuan, aren't you a biology student? How come you don't even know how to settle accounts?"

"I accompanied Qianxi to pursue a double major in financial management."

"Hey, you two are so scary."

Qin Chuan still didn't want to give up and continued: "No matter what, I still want to treat you to a meal tonight, just the four of us. From now on, I, Qin Chuan, can make money."

Zhou Chen said: "I don't have any objection anyway. Donglaishun is fine, and the food stalls are fine too."

"Since you, the rich second generation, don't care, let's eat at the food stalls." Qin Chuan said cheerfully.

"let's go."

"let's go."

On the way, Qin Chuan suddenly asked: "Qiao Qiao, I just heard you say that Zhou Chen spent 180,000 yuan to buy clothes for Wang Ying?"

Xie Qiao nodded vigorously: "Yes, a suit of clothes and cosmetics costs 186,000. You don't know. When Qian Xi and Xu Lin saw it, we were all frightened."

Qin Chuan exclaimed: "The clothes and cosmetics cost more than 180,000 yuan. Isn't this too dark?"

"You don't know, that's an international brand, Hermès."

"I don't care if it's Hermès or Adonkey, Zhou Chen, I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey. With more than 180,000 yuan, if you invest in me, I can even open a pancake shop for you. I really don't have it." I’ve seen someone as prodigal as you. The cost of getting a girlfriend is too high. Your second grandfather is so indulgent to you? "

"Get lost, you know nothing."

Zhou Chen cursed angrily and snorted: "The money I spent on buying things for Wang Ying was all earned by myself, and has nothing to do with my second grandfather. Do you think you are the only one who can start a business and make money, but I can't?"

"Your own money?"

Qin Chuan and the other two were stunned. They always thought that Zhou Chen's money was from his second grandfather.

Qin Chuan asked impatiently: "Are you also starting a business? Is it abroad? Why haven't I heard you mention it? You spend so much money on buying clothes and cosmetics. It seems that you have made a lot of money. Teach me if there is any way."

Zhou Chen said lightly: "Stock trading, do you know it?"

"Stock trading?"

Qin Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't believe this thing. Is it really so profitable that you don't even consider money as money?"

"Look at people. I have made a lot of money, but there are more people who have lost everything. So, just listen to this thing, don't touch it."

Qin Chuan patted his chest and said: "Don't worry about this, because we I don't have the money to invest in stocks at all."

"Investing in stocks is not a good thing, Chuanzi, don't mind what I just said. In fact, I think your pancake stall business is still good. If you do well in the future, you may make more money. I think you have a talent for business."

"Really? Zhou Chen, you think so highly of me? Then you can invest more in me, I will work hard and open a store, and we will go hand in hand. I don't want much, just the amount of your girlfriend's clothes."

"Get out, get out of here."

Listening to the playful conversation between Qin Chuan and Zhou Chen, He Xiaozhou remained silent.

He also heard from Xiao Qianxi that Zhou Chen bought Hermes for Wang Ying. He still remembers Xiao Qianxi's envious and eager eyes at that time. He really felt guilty at that time. His conditions were too poor and he could not give Xiao Qianxi those luxury goods.

Zhou Chen hugged He Xiaozhou and asked, "What are you thinking about? Don't say a word."

"Nothing, I'm thinking about what to eat later." He Xiaozhou hurriedly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.

"Xiaozhou, you are a biology student. Have you ever considered studying abroad? There are many biology majors in Stanford University that are ranked among the top in the world. I know you have good grades. If you want to study abroad, I can help you. I still know some people at Stanford University."

Zhou Chen said to He Xiaozhou in a serious tone.

In the plot, He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi have a very bad ending. He Xiaozhou is a very good person. He is willing to help He Xiaozhou. If He Xiaozhou can have a different experience, I don't know if his ending with Xiao Qianxi will change.

"Study abroad at Stanford?"

He Xiaozhou was shocked by Zhou Chen's proposal, but he admitted that he was tempted.

That's Stanford University, a famous university ranked among the top in the world. For someone like him who studies hard and is determined to move forward, this is a great temptation.

Xie Qiao asked excitedly: "Zhou Chen, can you really help Xiao Xiao go to Stanford to study abroad?"

"Of course, if not, why would I bring it up? His grades are good, and I can help to make a bridge, so it shouldn't be a big problem. If you don't want to be separated from Qianxi, I can also think of a way to get her there too."

"Xiao Xiao, this is a great thing."

Qin Chuan also said: "Xiao Zhou, this is indeed a great thing. If you go abroad to study, it will be different when you come back."

When He Xiaozhou heard that Zhou Chen could get Xiao Qianxi to study abroad, he was very tempted, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm only a sophomore now, don't think about these, not to mention that I can't leave my mother alone."

Zhou Chen didn't persuade him anymore, just patted him: "Okay, it's really not urgent now, you can think about it slowly. If you want to study abroad, Stanford University is better than going anywhere else. At least I can take care of you."

He Xiaozhou said gratefully: "If Qianxi and I want to study abroad, we will definitely ask you for help."

If it was just him, he would be embarrassed to trouble Zhou Chen, but if he could be with Xiao Qianxi, he was willing to take on Zhou Chen's favor.
