Sitting in the car, Zhou Shaolong's mind was spinning. He didn't know why, but he remembered what his parents had said to him when he was in his third year of high school.
"Son, our family hasn't had a single college student yet. We're counting on you. You have to work hard."
"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll play for a while longer.”
"Son, your father has never been to university. I'm just hoping that you can get into university and make your father proud. Look at you. All you know how to do is play games all day. Why don't we make a gentleman's agreement?"
"What agreement?"
"As long as you get into a university, no matter what university it is, I'll pay for your college. I'll pay you 3,000 yuan a month for your living expenses, plus the pedal you want and a new laptop. How is it?"
"Alright, a gentleman's word is a whip. You can't go back on your word. I'm going to read."
In Chengdu, 3,000 yuan was equivalent to the monthly living expenses of a middle-class family. Buying a pedal and a notebook at one time was considered a luxury. For these two luxury goods, Zhou Shaolong promised his father that he would attend class diligently every day and ask a lot of questions to the teacher every day until the teacher was impatient. The revision materials were all scrapped. The students thought that Zhou Shaolong had suffered some kind of stimulation. A few of his good friends ran over to comfort him with words like there were plenty of fish in the sea, but these were all rewarded.
After the college entrance examination, Zhou Shaolong was admitted to a third-rate university in Wenqing City with a good score of 460 points. Although Zhou Shaolong had worked very hard, he didn't study hard in his first and second years. His foundation was too poor. The 460 points shocked many teachers, especially Zhou Shaolong's class teacher, who directly announced Zhou Shaolong as a genius at the class farewell party.
Zhou Shaolong was admitted to a university. The happiest person was Zhou Shaolong's father. When he saw his son's admission letter, he got drunk on the same day and shouted that his son had been admitted to a university. However, the old saying was quite correct. Misfortune comes with fortune, and fortune comes with misfortune. In less than two weeks, there was a major accident in Zhou Shaolong's father's furniture factory. A worker died, and the factory closed down. Because of the loss, Zhou Shaolong's father could be considered bankrupt. He was just short of selling his house. Zhou Shaolong originally didn't want to go to university because he had to pay 50,000 yuan to go to university, but Zhou Shaolong's father was very stubborn. He scraped together and went to borrow money from relatives. Finally, he had enough 50,000 yuan to send Zhou Shaolong on the train to Wenqing City. After that, she worked hard every day to earn money. In order to pay off her debts, her mother, who had been a full-time housewife at home, had no choice but to find a few jobs.
Some time ago, Zhou Shaolong's eldest cousin told Zhou Shaolong the reason for the closure of his father's factory. The reason was that there was a relative in his father's foreman named Zhou Cunyi. Because he was a relative, he was highly valued by his father and was arranged by him to manage the warehouse. On the day that his father was drunk, Zhou Cunyi set fire to the warehouse, burning more than 500,000 pieces of furniture and wood in the warehouse. There was also an unlucky worker on night shift who was burned alive. Later, Zhou Cunyi had enough of Father Zhou's furniture factory at a very low price.
Zhou Shaolong didn't understand how there could be such hateful people in the world. Seeing his dad and mom seemed to have aged by more than ten years in just a few years, Zhou Shaolong didn't feel good either. At the beginning, he was admitted to university for the laptop and pedal mentioned by his dad. However, when his dad's factory closed down, Zhou Shaolong's purpose of entering university became to study hard so that he could become rich and let his dad and mom live a good life. However, this goal was thrown to Java after he went to university. Fortunately, Zhou Shaolong got the plane system and had the magical ability to cross planes. With this ability, money was just a number. However, he could not let Zhou Cunyi off.
Father Zhou's name was Zhou Xinglong, and he had a primary school education. His biggest wish was to let his son get into university. Even now, the family was still in debt. Getting into university was more important than anything else. Today was a rare day of leisure because his son, who was studying in a foreign university, had returned. He wanted to welcome his son back. The car stopped in front of a small restaurant and the family of three got out. At this time, Zhou Shaolong's cousin was waiting in the reserved room. A table full of dishes had yet to be served.
Zhou Shaolong called his cousin when he saw him in the box. He had always respected his cousin. When his father opened the factory, his cousin followed his father and did the security work. However, it was hard to guard against a thief in the house. His cousin always thought that he was the reason for the factory's failure. If he had walked around the warehouse a few more times, the factory would not have closed down. However, Father Zhou had never blamed him. Disaster was destined by heaven, and it was not something that people could control.
The eldest cousin was very happy to see Zhou Shaolong. When he heard Zhou Shaolong call him, he laughed and said," Hey," and asked the waiter to serve the dishes after the family sat down. The dishes had been prepared long ago. They were afraid that they would get cold, so they had been placed in the incubator. Soon, all the dishes were served. His cousin's name was Zhang Shao Fei. Because he had the word 'Shao' in his name, he hit it off with Zhou Shaolong. However, the two of them were about six years apart. He was 25 years old this year. After he retired from the army, he worked with Zhou Shaolong's father.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone ate to their heart's content. Father Zhou and Big Cousin finished a bottle of white wine, and Zhou Shaolong also drank a few glasses less. When they were almost done eating, the few of them began to chat. Father Zhou asked Zhou Shaolong how he was doing at school. Zhou Shaolong looked at Father Zhou and said with a little lack of confidence," I dropped out of school.”
"What?" Hearing Zhou Shaolong say that he had dropped out of school, Zhou Shaolong's father suddenly shouted loudly. For Zhou Shaolong to go to university, Zhou Shaolong's father had given up a lot, just so that Zhou Shaolong could have a bright future. However, Zhou Shaolong had dropped out of school without a word. If she didn't ask, she didn't know how long he would have kept it from her. It was really too much. Zhou Shaolong's mother was also a little angry. What Zhou Shaolong had done was really too infuriating.
Zhou Shaolong's cousin wasn't very angry. In his opinion, going to university was nothing more than an excuse for a person to play for a few more years. Nowadays, college students were becoming less and less valuable. If you threw a brick on the street and hit ten people, nine of them would be college students. The remaining one might even be a doctor or something. However, his cousin was a little curious about what Zhou Shaolong planned to do after he stopped going to university.
Seeing that his parents were very angry, Zhou Shaolong quickly said," Dad, Mom, don't be anxious. Let me finish."”Zhou Shaolong's elder cousin also advised him," Yes, uncle, aunt, don't be anxious. Let's hear why Xiaolong didn't go up first."”After hearing Zhang Shao Fei's words, Zhou Shaolong's father calmed down and said to Zhou Shaolong," Tell me, why didn't you go to university?"”
Zhou Shaolong told his father about his adventure when his father asked him the reason. "Dad, I couldn't learn much in university either. I played games in the dormitory all day and got bored of it. Later on, didn't you send me a text message saying that you were going to cut off my living expenses? I was thinking of finding a job. Who knew that when I went to withdraw money that day, I encountered a bank robbery. Five robbers were armed. Perhaps I was unlucky and was shot by one of the robbers. Later on, the robber ran away and I was sent to the hospital. Then, the police asked me about the incident. Also, I got to know a sister from the looks of the robbers. She's the leader of Wenqing City's Serious Crime Division 5.”
"Li Yaqian." Zhang Shao Fei suddenly said.
"Ah, right. Cousin, do you know him?" Zhou Shaolong asked curiously. Zhang Shao Fei said," Oh, that's not it. When I was in the army, I heard that Li Ya Qian was the youngest captain in the Women's Special Forces. Go on, tell me what happened next.”Zhang Shao Fei said.
"Oh, Sister Ya said that because I saw the real face of the robber, she was afraid that the robber would kill me, so she offered to protect my life. Later, I asked her if she could help me find a job. It would be best if it was at the police station, close to you. She let me be a special agent in Team 5. I'm still a special agent in Team 5. I earn 3,000 yuan a month, live in the male police dormitory, don't pay utility bills, work isn't tiring, and I've experienced a lot. I think it's pretty good.”
After hearing Zhou Shaolong's words, Zhou Xinglong sighed and said," Sigh, son, Dad's wish is for you to be admitted to university. Now that you've been admitted to university, you've fulfilled Dad's wish. As for your future life, you can live it according to your own ideas. You've walked out of life on your own. You've grown up, so Dad won't say anything more. But don't forget, no matter what you do, Dad will support you, but you can't do anything illegal, understand?"”Zhou Xinglong's expression turned serious again. However, how could Zhou Shaolong do something illegal? If he wanted to do it, he would have to do it in another world. He immediately agreed to Zhou Xinglong's request, saying that there was no problem and that he would not do anything illegal.
After that, they talked about the debts at home. Zhou Xinglong sighed and said," Sigh, Shaolong, you've grown up. It's time for you to know more about the family. Our family originally owed 260,000 yuan, but we paid off some of it one after another. Now, we still owe 130,000 yuan. I'm thinking of selling our house after a while to exchange for the debt and a smaller house. Then, your mother and I will work for a few more years and give you some money. In the future, when you get married, I'll buy a house in the city and pay the down payment for you. You can slowly pay off the rest of the money yourself.”At this point, Zhou Xinglong's face showed a deep sense of helplessness. As a father, wasn't he a little useless if he couldn't bring a good life to his child?
Looking at his father's body that seemed to have aged by more than ten years, Zhou Shaolong smiled and said," Dad, don't look like that. We don't have to sell the house anymore. I have good news for you."”When Zhou Xinglong heard his son say that he had good news, he asked," What good news?" Zhou Shaolong's mother and cousin were also quite curious. They looked at Zhou Shaolong and waited for him to continue.
Zhou Shaolong continued happily," Hehe, two days ago, I bought a vase from an old man who had a broken hand. It was only 20 yuan. I thought it was pretty, so I bought it for only 20 yuan. Later, someone saw my vase and asked if I wanted to sell it, so I didn't sell it. I saw that the person seemed to be quite anxious about the vase and wanted to buy it. The price was already 20,000 yuan, but I didn't sell it. I thought that the vase should be quite valuable, or else that person wouldn't be so anxious to buy it. I took the bathroom to the antique city and asked a shop owner. I found out that the bottle was blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. I checked the price on the internet. Guess how much it cost.”
Zhou Shaolong's mother hurriedly asked." How much?" Although Zhou Xinglong and Zhang Shao Fei didn't say anything, their anxious eyes had already exposed their inner thoughts. Zhou Shaolong laughed." Haha, you guys wouldn't have guessed that the transaction price two years ago was 20 million yuan. F * ck. Twenty million. Even if my bottle only sells for 10 million, I'll be satisfied.”
"What? Twenty million?" Zhou Xinglong was stunned by his son's offer. Two years ago, it was sold for 20 million yuan. After two years, how much money was that? Thinking of 20 million yuan, Zhou Xinglong quickly asked," Is that bottle real? If it's fake, then it's all for nothing."”Zhou Shaolong chuckled and said indifferently," Don't worry, I've had an expert appraise it. It's definitely authentic." 20 million, that's for sure. But I reckon that even 20 million won't be enough. Hahaha.”Although he said that, he was thinking in his heart,'How can the vase I brought back from the Northern Song Dynasty be fake? Moreover, it's a vase from the Dali Palace.' Damn, how much was that? I couldn't believe it when I got the money.
