Chapter 149 Su Mingzhe: Face Is the Most Important Thing

"Have you not calmed down yet?"

Sitting in the car, Zhou Chen did not start immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Mingyu who was sitting in the passenger seat wiping tears and asked softly.

Su Mingyu took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. She was a woman with a strong personality, and she would only show her weakness in front of Zhou Chen.

"I feel like I have let it go, but after I just said it, I still feel very uncomfortable. God is really unfair to us."

Zhou Chen patted Su Mingyu's hand and said, "God has been very fair to us. At least you still have my brother."

Su Mingyu: "Well, yes, I still have you. Without you, I really don't know if I can survive."

"Okay, don't talk so much. Go to work first. When you get off work in the evening, go to the bar and have a good drink. Just put down what you need to put down."

He has been persuading Su Mingyu to let go because Zhao Meilan has passed away. Even if he suppresses his resentment in his heart, it will not help. Is it possible that he still seeks revenge from Su Daqiang?

It was precisely because Su Mingyu knew that it was impossible to vent her grievances on Su Daqiang that she vented all her grievances on Su Mingcheng, who had bullied her since she was a child.

Of course, Su Mingcheng brought all the blame on himself, so it's not an exaggeration to vent all his grievances on him.

That night, Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li had a long argument at home. For the first time since marrying Su Mingcheng, Zhu Li felt that the people in the Su family were too weird.

In the past, like Su Mingcheng, she felt that her mother-in-law Zhao Meilan was kind and diligent, but after what happened today, she realized that she had taken it for granted.

Zhao Meilan was only kind to Su Mingcheng and her, but towards Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu, their biological children, she was extremely cold-blooded, which was beyond what a mother could do.

But Zhu Li was just angry. After the anger, she no longer thought about this, but thought about how to return the family money they spent to Su Daqiang, and take good care of Su Daqiang in the future, so that neither her eldest brother nor Su Mingyu could say no. Speak up.

And Su Daqiang listened to Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li arguing in the bedroom, and he really didn't dare to let out a fart.

After what happened today, he knew that Su Mingcheng must hate him to death. He knew very well how messed up his second son was, and he was afraid that Su Mingcheng would be rude to him, so he didn't dare to say anything for a long time after he came back.

Now he doesn't dare to offend Su Mingcheng, because he still has to point to Su Mingcheng to support him. Now he can only hope that Zhu Li will be kind to him and not let Su Mingcheng bully him.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Su Mingyu came to Zhou Chen's bar.

"Ming Yang, come with me to the United States in a few days."

Zhou Chen looked surprised: "Why should I go to the United States with you?"

Su Mingyu: "Lao Meng asked me to go to the United States to attend the company's exchange meeting. I feel bored going alone, so you can go with me."

"You go to the exchange meeting, why should I follow you?"

"The exchange meeting will be boring. If you come with me, you can have company. Anyway, if you are not at the bar for a few days, Dahuang will be watching, so it will be no problem."

Su Mingyu originally didn't want to go to the United States, but Lao Mengfei asked her to go, but she felt it was too boring to go alone, so she wanted to drag Zhou Chen with her.

"I've been busy writing songs recently."

"You can write songs anywhere. When you go to America, you can wander around, and you might be even more inspired."

Su Mingyu saw that Zhou Chen was still hesitating, so she put her arms around Zhou Chen's shoulders and said, "Ming Yang, I'm begging you, sister. When we go to America, we can also visit our eldest brother and sister-in-law. We have never met our eldest sister-in-law or niece. It’s a good time to go and have a look this time.”

Zhou Chen was helpless: "With your attitude, it seems I can't go even if I don't want to."

"Yes, it's impossible not to go."

In the end, Zhou Chen naturally couldn't defeat Su Mingyu, so he gave her his documents and asked her to get a visa for the United States.

Three days later, Zhou Chen made an appointment with Yi Fei and handed her the two USB flash drives in his hand.

"This is yours, this is what I gave you. It contains three songs I wrote. I think it should be more suitable for you, but whether I will hand it to you in the end depends on your own ability."

Yifei looked happy and took the USB flash drive, "You created three songs in such a short time?"

She was so surprised, but also very hesitant, because she had creative ability herself and knew very well how difficult it was to create a good song.

Sometimes it may take a year or a half to succeed, but Zhou Chen composed three songs in a few days, and they were all based on her characteristics, which made her have to doubt the quality of these three songs.

"I didn't create it in the past few days, but I had the inspiration for a long time, but I never finished it. It just so happened that I got your song invitation this time, so I integrated my previous ideas and created these three songs."

Yi Fei nodded in understanding. Creators are like this sometimes. Sometimes they can't create a song for a year and a half. Sometimes they are so inspired that they may write a song in a day.

"What did you mean by your last sentence?"

Zhou Chen said: "I leave these three songs to you. I will go to the United States tomorrow. It will take about a week to come back. You only have so much time. After I come back, I want to hear the effect of your singing. If I can If you satisfy me, I can authorize you to sing it; of course, there is no rush to talk about copyright or anything like that now."

Yi Fei frowned, was he going to test her?

"good."

In the end, Yi Fei agreed because her desire for good songs could overcome everything else.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Then I hope you can succeed."

The three songs he gave are all very good songs. As long as Yifei has the ability to sing well, he will definitely be inclined to cooperate with Yifei. After all, judging from several contacts, Yifei's character is still very good.

Yifei answered confidently: "As long as your song is good enough, I won't let you down."

After Zhou Chen negotiated with Yifei, he said goodbye to Yifei. He went back to rest early today because he had to catch a flight with Su Mingyu tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu arrived in the United States after sleeping in the first class cabin of the plane.

They set off from the Magic City in the morning, and when they arrived in San Francisco, it happened to be morning here.

After arriving in San Francisco, they took a day's rest. On the next day, Su Mingyu went to attend an exchange meeting held here.

As for Zhou Chen, he 'creates' in the hotel, and sometimes leaves the hotel and walks around San Francisco.

In the last let's get married world, he had been to New York, but not to San Francisco, so this was his first time in San Francisco.

San Francisco is also a large city in the United States and a tourist destination. It is also close to Silicon Valley. It is one of the world's important technology research and development bases and an important financial center on the west coast of the United States...

Over the past few days, Zhou Chen visited many famous places in San Francisco and saw many beautiful sights in this city.

On the fourth day, Su Mingyu finally got out of the exchange meeting and was going to visit her elder brother and sister-in-law with Zhou Chen.

"Big brother said he would pick us up later."

"I know, I'll clean up and then we'll go down together."

When he came to the United States this time, he brought a laptop and nothing else, so he just changed his clothes and left the hotel with Su Mingyu to wait.

Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu were standing outside the hotel. An SUV stopped in front of them. The window fell down, revealing Su Mingzhe's figure.

"Mingyu, Mingyang, get in the car."

"Brother."

After Zhou Chen and Su Mingyu called out, Zhou Chen sat in the back row, while Su Mingyu sat directly in the passenger seat.

"Mingyu, you are doing well now. You have come to San Francisco to attend an exchange meeting on behalf of the company."

In Su Mingzhe's eyes, Su Mingyu must have done very well to be assigned to attend such an important meeting abroad.

He only knew that Su Mingyu was the sales manager, but he really didn't know how much power he had and how much money he had.

Su Mingyu smiled and said: "No way, this was originally a quota for the CEO of our group. Because he was temporarily busy, I took advantage of it."

"That's why I sent you here because you have the ability. Among our brothers and sisters, you are the best at it."

Su Mingzhe looked at Zhou Chen who was playing with his mobile phone behind him through the rearview mirror and asked, "Mingyang, I also want to thank you. Thank you for taking care of dad some time ago."

"It should."

Zhou Chen didn't take the credit. Although Su Daqiang didn't treat him well, he was still unambiguous when it came time to be filial, and it really didn't cost him too much time.

"I heard from dad that you seem to have opened a bar and the business is pretty good, right?"

"It's not bad. Mingyu also had a good foundation when he handed it over to me. I've only taken over it for a dozen days."

The business of June Bar is indeed good now, making profits every day, but Zhou Chen does not take the credit to himself. Without the foundation of the bar itself, even if he sings a few original songs, it is absolutely impossible for him to become popular so quickly.

"Seeing that you are all doing well now, I, as the eldest brother, feel relieved."

Su Mingzhe said this, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because he couldn't compare with Su Mingyu. Now, with Mingyu's help, Zhou Chen is doing better than him. As the eldest brother, he is far behind. big.

Now he will no longer think that Zhou Chen can live a good life because of Su Mingyu's help, because he already knows the experiences of these two siblings from his father. As the eldest brother, he is completely unqualified to accuse Zhou Chen of relying on Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu put down the camera phone and asked Su Mingzhe: "Brother, I heard that you encountered some trouble here before, so you couldn't bring your father to the United States. What kind of trouble did you encounter here?"

Before coming, Zhou Chen had told her not to ask this question, but she still couldn't hold it back. She wanted to know what was going on and whether there was something wrong with her sister-in-law.

Su Mingzhe suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said thoughtfully: "It's not a big deal, it's just that your sister-in-law and I are discussing changing houses."

When Su Mingyu heard it, she believed it to be true and said with a smile: "Can you change to a bigger house? Yes, brother, you are doing well now."

Because she had not contacted Su Mingzhe before, she didn't know where Su Mingzhe lived. When she heard that Su Mingzhe was going to change his house, she naturally thought that her eldest brother wanted to change to a bigger house.

After the bullshit was blown out, Su Mingzhe's expression became even stiffer and he could only bite the bullet and continue to blow.

"Isn't this because last time I came back, I told your sister-in-law that our father wanted to come to the United States for retirement. Coincidentally, your sister-in-law's parents also wanted to come. She is the only daughter in your family, so her parents can only rely on her. , I can’t stop it either;

But if the elderly from both parties come here, the current house will not be enough to live in, so I am thinking about changing to a bigger house. We also looked at one a few days ago and thought it was good. We are talking to the landlord..."

Listening to Su Mingzhe's serious bragging, Zhou Chen, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't stand listening anymore and really wanted to say, "Brother, I'm so disappointed in you."

Although that sentence was not spoken, Zhou Chen still interrupted: "Brother, we are all brothers, brothers and sisters, you should tell the truth."

Su Mingzhe, who was preparing to continue speaking, was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Chen, and his expression suddenly became very embarrassed.

"Ming Yang, am I telling the truth?"

When Su Mingyu heard what Zhou Chen said, her expression suddenly became surprised: "Mingyang, what did you say?"

Zhou Chen ignored Su Mingzhe's ugly expression and pointed it out directly.

"Brother, if it's just a house problem, you won't hide it. But even if you don't tell the truth, I can guess something. If you are so filial, if you don't take dad over at this time, it will definitely not be a house problem. It’s that you have a bigger problem.”

"Either it's a financial and work problem, or it's a sister-in-law problem."

"squeak……"

Su Mingzhe braked suddenly and said with an ugly face: "It's not your sister-in-law's problem. Your sister-in-law is very filial and she has no objection to me bringing dad over."

Although he had a conflict with his wife because of his father's support issue, it was a matter within their family, and he would still defend his wife when others brought it up.

"Is it an economic or work issue?" Su Mingyu asked.

Su Mingzhe felt very embarrassed and was exposed on the spot by his younger brothers and sisters, which dealt a huge blow to his self-esteem.

Zhou Chen said: "Brother, if you don't say that we have guessed it, why bother? This is not a shameful thing. We are brothers, how can we still laugh at you?"

"Why not?"

Su Mingzhe suddenly raised his head and raised his voice: "Everyone knows that I am a top student studying in the United States. If others know that I, a so-called top student, can't even find a job now, what will others think of me? What will you think? I?"

"Is face really that important?"

Although he knew what Su Mingzhe was thinking, Zhou Chen still couldn't understand it. Now that we have reached a difficult period, and even life has become a problem, Su Mingzhe's first consideration is his own face and self-esteem.

"It's important, of course it's important."

Su Mingzhe said in a deep voice: "After studying hard for decades, if I can't even find a job in the end, then what is the purpose of all my hard work and struggle over the years?"

"Mingyu, Mingyang, if you come to see me and your sister-in-law, I welcome you, but if you just come to see how I am doing, then you all know by now that I no longer have a job, and you want to laugh at me Me, just laugh at me, and go back when you’re done laughing.”

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Su Mingyu was angry: "You are our eldest brother, how could we laugh at you? And you are a top student at Stanford, how could you not find a job?"

Su Mingzhe said: "That's because you don't understand the current pressure in our industry. There are too many technicians like me, and the United States is not humane at all. I have worked in the original company for so many years, but they say layoffs are enough." Lay me off. As Chinese, we have nothing to do because we are too weak."

"Okay, Mingyu, Mingyang, I don't want to say too much. I'll take you to meet your sister-in-law and Xiaomi first."

After saying that, Su Mingzhe restarted the car with a gloomy expression.

Zhou Chen didn't completely agree with what Su Mingzhe said. Su Mingzhe was right. Foreigners were indeed unkind, but the reason why Su Mingzhe couldn't find a job was also related to his own personality.

I have a good reputation, but I can’t let go of my worth, and I don’t want to do physical work.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Su Mingzhe's idea. He has studied hard for more than ten years just for a better life. If he wants to do physical work, then what is the purpose of his many years of studying hard? So what is the use of the techniques and knowledge he learned?
