Chapter 84: Distant Ambition
Seeing that their daughter was completely unyielding, the couple had no other options.
They only have one daughter, and they've spoiled her since she was little. What can they do about the personality she's developed?
Li Xiujuan sat down next to her daughter and said gently, "Darling, why don't you call and ask if we can get a refund?"
She had just heard her husband say that they might lose money, so her first reaction was definitely to cut her losses.
Wu Jian'an chimed in, "If you want to buy a house, you can talk to your parents. Even if you don't like that townhouse, you can choose anywhere. Speculating on pre-sale apartments is even more dangerous than speculating in stocks. With stocks, you can at least save a little, but speculating on pre-sale apartments can easily lead to financial ruin."
"Do you remember that Wu Laoliu from before? He lost a fortune speculating on pre-sale apartments in the first half of the year."
Wu Fangzhi glanced at her parents, snorted, and said, "Don't even mention it! Returning it? We'd really lose a lot of money if we did!"
After saying that, she handed her phone to her mother: "Look for yourself~ Chen Yuanzhou has sold them all, and the money has been transferred over."
"Huh?" Li Xiujuan took the phone and looked at it, feeling like she was seeing things for a moment!
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands..." She squinted at the phone screen, still unable to see clearly, and handed it to her husband.
Wu Jian'an took it with some skepticism, blinked, and was instantly dumbfounded!
12000000!
Wu Fangzhi then laughed triumphantly, "Look at this! 200 million in capital, 1000 million net profit! Still want a refund?"
Wu Jian'an and Li Xiujuan exchanged a glance, their faces still filled with disbelief even though the facts were right in front of them.
Wu Jian'an, in particular, is a businessman himself and is no stranger to speculating on pre-sale apartments. He was even once invited to join in, but he did not participate.
In his mind, making a few hundred thousand yuan by speculating on pre-sale apartments is already the limit!
A net profit of 1000 million?
"Hahaha~!" Wu Fangzhi snatched back her phone, so excited she almost danced with joy. "Mom and Dad, how was it? I wasn't lying to you, was I!"
"How much will he get?" Wu Jian'an asked subconsciously, catching Wu Fangzhi off guard.
Wu Jian'an himself had tens of millions of yuan in funds. Although his daughter had earned 1000 million yuan in one go, he quickly recovered from the brief shock.
"He's helping you make money like this? Could he have some ulterior motive?" He then cautiously added, "Darling, we have our own money... You and him, there's nothing going on, right?"
Men understand men best!
When a man has made a lot of money for a woman, he knows very well what kind of return he will ask for.
Wu Fangzhi's face immediately turned black!
"I'm his girlfriend, isn't it only natural for him to help me make money? Even if there's something between us, it's nothing!" she said matter-of-factly.
Wu Jian'an thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, "Even if you're dating him, he's helped you earn so much money, you should share some with him!"
"Why?" Wu Fangzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wu Jian'an earnestly advised, "If you really want to have a proper talk with him, you absolutely must split the money. Think about it, he's helped you earn so much money all of a sudden, and if you don't share it with him, won't he feel resentful? Won't he think you're just using him to make money?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Fangzhi was lost in thought for a while before suddenly realizing what was happening!
Although she lacked social experience, she quickly understood after her father's explanation...
"How much should he receive?" Wu Fangzhi then asked.
"It would be best to give it all to him!" Wu Jian'an replied, "You can keep a few million, and tell him to manage the rest. If he makes money later, he will naturally give it back to you."
"You need to keep a clear record of the accounts, but don't make it too obvious to him on the surface, understand? Unless you two stop dating, then settle the score. That way, you won't suffer losses later."
With her father's guidance, Wu Fangzhi finally understood the difference.
To put it bluntly, they appear confused on the surface but keep secrets behind the scenes.
"I know, don't worry about it!" she finally replied.
Wu Fangzhi then added, "Let me tell you first, you can forget about having Chen Yuanzhou marry into your family. We're just having a normal relationship right now."
This is actually the issue that the couple is most concerned about.
Li Xiujuan then asked, "Did you ask him whose surname the child will take?"
"Look at you~" Wu Jian'an laughed: "Since you're marrying into the family, the first person you'll take will definitely have their surname."
He then turned to Wu Fangzhi and said, "Ask him if we can have one child with our family name after having a second child? We have rural household registration, so it's not considered an extra birth."
"Mom!" Wu Fangzhi exclaimed, both amused and exasperated, "It's nothing even close to being a done deal, I haven't thought that far ahead!"
"..." The couple was stunned, and also felt helpless.
But at least my daughter didn't lose money; in fact, she made a fortune, so I can finally relax.
As for the future, it's really hard to say right now, so I'd better keep quiet.
……
After making the bank transfer, Chen Yuanzhou continued on his way back to the store, while also pondering everything in his mind.
Needless to say, Zhou Yun received the 65 yuan he transferred to her, and not long after, she received the money back from him.
Moreover, the transfers were split into two parts: one for 6 and the other for 50.
I then received a text message from her: "Thank you! It's been a pleasure working with you! The 6 is the agreed-upon profit sharing; I'd like to continue having you manage the remaining 50 for me, is that alright?"
Chen Yuanzhou smiled after reading it. The money had already been transferred, so there was no point in asking.
This was the first contact between the two since they signed the contract last time; Zhou Yun had not contacted Chen Yuanzhou since then.
In fact, she knew very well that although Chen Yuanzhou hadn't admitted it last time, he must already know about the relationship between Liu Beige and Xiang Pingchuan.
She really wanted to know why Chen Yuanzhou was hiding it.
But then I realized that this kind of question was pointless...
So, as Chen Yuanzhou said, their relationship remains at the level of "partners".
Chen Yuanzhou also understood that the 50 yuan that was returned was a statement of her attitude…
Even when broken, the lotus root remains connected!
Without explicitly stating the truth, a hint of ambiguity remains.
"He seems to have matured?" Chen Yuanzhou thought.
As for Wu Fangzhi's 1200 million, Chen Yuanzhou actually hesitated for a moment before remitting the money.
After all, Wu Fangzhi was unaware of the specific transaction price of the pre-sale apartments.
If Chen Yuanzhou wanted to, he could easily embezzle several million...
Even if he only transferred 700 million to Wu Fangzhi, the net profit of 500 million would already be fantastic news for her!
If Wu Fangzhi were merely her client, Chen Yuanzhou might actually have done that, keeping his share for himself.
But since he had already established a romantic relationship with Wu Fangzhi, it was no longer just a business transaction.
Offering every single penny to Wu Fangzhi was Chen Yuanzhou's way of expressing his attitude, and also a test for the Wu family...
Chen Yuanzhou knew very well that nothing could test human nature better than money!
If he really had to choose between partners, he would be extremely cautious!
However, these are all secondary. His most important gains were his collaboration with Wu Shih-hao in the real estate speculation and his friendship with Lin Pao-yi.
After all, all his assets at present are less than 300 million!
This is still a long way from his ambitions...
