Chapter 561 Didn’t the Qing Dynasty die long ago?
Chapter 561 Didn’t the Qing Dynasty die long ago?
Zhou Shirong's villa was full of women, playing mahjong and chatting, it was not quiet at all. Zhou Shihua was already full of anger, and he couldn't stay there any longer, so he took this opportunity to go to the villa at the back to see his mother and relax.
Anyway, with Gu Ming here, Xiao Yao can't stand being bullied.
The aroma of dinner soon wafted out from the kitchen. As soon as Zhou Shihua left, Duan Ying came to the living room and sat down opposite the sofa.
Two gossipy wives of senior executives left their poker friends and came over to join in the fun.
“When did you come to Shanghai?”
Zhou Xiaoyao glanced at Duan Ying and said, "We came on the 1th."
Duan Ying put the cushion on the back of her waist: "Are you here specifically to see your uncle and aunt?"
"I followed Gu Ming to the meeting."
"Meeting?"
Gu Ming coughed and took over the conversation: "It's just gathering with a group of like-minded people to talk about what to do to make money. Of course, it's mostly bragging."
Duan Ying turned to look at Gu Ming, and after a long look, she asked, "Where are you from?"
“I’m from Wuhe.”
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if she had never heard of this before: "Where is Wuhe?"
Duan Ying explained, "It's a small county town on the 1th line. There aren't even many cars on the streets. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Xiaoyao grew up there."
"Why did President Zhou raise his daughter in a place like that?"
"Xiaoyao's mother is the kind of girl from a small place. She is more accustomed to the environment there."
Zhou Xiaoyao pursed her lips, feeling a little sad, but soon she felt Gu Ming holding her waist, so she glanced at him and puffed up her cheeks.
Mrs. Li next to her spoke again: "It still looks familiar. What does your family do?"
"My father is a clerk in the Health Bureau, and my mother is a waitress in the government guest house. She comes from a scholarly family."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li showed a strange expression and looked at Duan Ying: "I thought it was a young master from some family..."
Duan Ying waved her hand elegantly: "It doesn't matter which family he is from, as long as Xiaoyao likes him."
"That's true, but it's too ordinary."
"Isn't it better to be a little more ordinary? I don't have that many prejudices against her. She has a clear figure and can speak fluently. It's good enough for Xiaoyao. The most important thing is that I like her."
Duan Ying's words came from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to marry Zhou Xiaoyao off so much that the more ordinary the better.
Because a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, it doesn't matter to the family if she marries into another family, and she doesn't need to be an eyesore anymore.
Introduce her to a young master? That's what only fools would do.
She has been trying hard to weaken Zhou Xiaoyao's existence over the years, so how could she find a backer for her? Only a family that is so ordinary that they can't even reach the threshold of their Zhou family would be in line with her wish.
Therefore, she felt that Gu Ming was a good match. His parents were clerks in the Health Bureau and waitresses in the government guesthouse. Aren't they a perfect match for this unloved and uncaring orphan?
But there was one thing that made Duan Ying feel uncomfortable, and that was Gu Ming's eyes.
She seemed to sense a very faint, light, almost imperceptible, but real mockery in the other person's eyes.
Generally speaking, boys from small places like this would not dare to speak much after entering a place like Sheshan Manor, so she felt that the other party's eyes made her very uncomfortable.
"Gu Ming, although you are from a small place, as long as Xiaoyao likes it, I agree. But our family is a big family after all, so we always have to follow some rules."
"For example, when you came just now, no one invited you, so you just walked in without saying hello to my guests. This is unruly."
Duan Ying looked at Zhou Xiaoyao calmly: "Xiaoyao used to be well-behaved when I taught her, why do you seem to have regressed now?"
Gu Ming looked at her: "Didn't the Qing Dynasty fall?"
"What did you say?"
"The Qing Dynasty must be dead, right?"
Mrs. Li couldn't help but whispered in her ear: "He said that your rules are more strict than those of Empress Dowager Cixi."
Duan Ying wasn't angry, but her expression was a little sarcastic: "You may not know, but those sitting here are the wives of Zhou Group's executives, shareholders, and some are worth hundreds of millions. They are different from the guests visiting your country houses. It's no problem to say they are royal relatives."
It was the first time that Gu Ming encountered such an embarrassing situation. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, and he scratched the soles of his shoes with his toes.
Duan Ying felt that his self-esteem was probably hit, so she asked again: "Have you bought a house in Shanghai?"
"I can't afford it. The housing prices in Shanghai are too high."
"As long as you and our Xiaoyao get along well, I will buy you a house, but you have to understand the rules. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu are my besties and will not gossip about me behind my back, but the other wives are different. Let's have dinner together later, don't embarrass the Zhou family."
Andy, who was sitting next to him, noticed that Gu Ming, who had just said he wanted to eat him, seemed to be too timid to move after being scolded, so he immediately said, "Mommy, they took my TV and won't let me watch cartoons."
Duan Ying couldn't blatantly favor her son in public: "Sister, tell me what's wrong? Don't be so stingy. Let's go and have dinner with mom."
"Then I'll come back and watch 3 more episodes."
"Okay, okay, I'll watch level 3 after watching 3 episodes."
Seeing that all the wealthy ladies in the living room moved to the dining room, Zhou Xiaoyao bit her lip and wanted to ask her brother if she could leave.
She still didn't like staying here, but when she looked down, she saw Gu Ming holding a mobile phone in one hand and gesturing with the remote control with the other.
The rich young lady came over curiously and saw Gu Ming searching [How to permanently delete cable TV channels] on the browser.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Gu Ming deleting [KaKu Animation] and [Golden Eagle Cartoon] one by one, and finally, only a few CCTVs were left.
"Gu Ming, you are a bad guy."
"I'm a bad guy."
Gu Ming held her hand and said, "Let's go eat and see if your stepmother can come up with anything else."
The two of them came to the long table in the restaurant and were seated at the corner. Then they saw the wealthy ladies eating steaks with knives and forks in their hands.
As usual, Gu Ming turned around and asked the servant next to him for a pair of scissors. He cut the steak on his plate into dice-shaped pieces and fed them to Feng Nanshu with a toothpick.
Seeing this scene, the ladies around who were dressed in jewels were all laughing secretly.
Mrs. Li thought he looked familiar just now, but now she thought it was an illusion. She had no chance to meet such a person.
Duan Ying looked at him from the side and felt a little speechless, so she couldn't help but change the topic about this investment.
After receiving investment from Zhoushi Group, her nephew Duan Wenzhao began to expand without stopping.
Originally, in the university town market, Ele.me was not superior to them, but with the increase of cash flow, the meal app directly surpassed Ele.me, especially some time ago, it even won the title of the most popular app among college students.
In fact, this achievement is nothing in the entire takeout market. It is just a ranking in a college student dating forum, but Duan Ying is very proud of it.
Currently on the market, the leading food delivery platforms, apart from group food delivery, are Ele.me.
She felt that since Fandian could dominate the university town market, it would certainly not be too weak in the national market.
Gu Ming listened in the corner for a while, and then fed his little rich woman two more bites.
"The meal app should be gone soon."
"?"
Duan Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Ming: "What?"
Gu Ming pursed his lips and said, "Auntie, do you know about group buying? It's a group buying website that originated from the college student market. They have a very strong foundation in the college student business circle, especially their boss, who is as handsome as Daniel Wu."
"and then?"
"The university town market has always been the preserve of group buying, and the takeaway market is no exception. If Gu Yanzu decides to sink into the university market tonight, Fandian will collapse within three days."
Duan Ying smiled slightly: "I've heard Wen Zhao talk about group takeout, but no matter how good it is, it's just not on par with Hungry. Do you know if Hungry is good or not?"
Gu Ming nodded: "I know, I often don't order takeout when I'm hungry."
"Wen Zhao's business ability has been recognized by Xiaoyao's father. If he can beat Ele.me in the university town, then how could a group-buying takeout company in the same echelon bankrupt Fandian in three days? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense and make a fool of yourself."
“If Gu Yanzu is determined, the result will definitely be like this.”
Duan Ying found that he really didn't know the rules at all, and couldn't help but frowning: "Xiaoyao, sit up straight when you eat. What did I teach you before? You are a lady from a wealthy family, how come you don't know the rules like people from small places?!"
Zhou Xiaoyao trembled after hearing this, pursed her lips, and slowly sat up straight.
Gu Ming exploded instantly, raised his head and was about to curse, but at this moment, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the living room, instantly covering his voice.
The faces of the wealthy ladies present changed instantly, thinking that something had happened to Andy, and they hurried over.
At this time, Andy was sitting on the sofa, breaking down and crying: "Mommy, there are no more cartoons, it's all news."
"How could it not be?"
"I've changed it several times, but it's gone." Andy threw the remote control out and smashed it to pieces.
Duan Ying stretched out her hand, intending to pick up Andy and comfort him, but was grabbed by Mrs. Liu behind her in the next second.
"what happened?"
"You watch TV..."
Gu Ming had just deleted all the channels in their home, leaving only a few news channels, and at this moment, news about the Internet Conference was being broadcast.
At first Duan Ying didn't understand what Mrs. Liu asked him to watch, but soon, a face he had just seen appeared on the TV screen.
At that moment, Duan Ying thought she had seen it wrong, until she saw the teardrop mole under the man's eye, and the two images that seemed to be in different worlds gradually began to overlap.
【I am not interested in money. 】
[Starting the group buying business is the thing I regret the most. I just wanted to start a small business at the beginning. 】
[Yes, I have a wife, very beautiful. ]
[In the future, Pintuan may have business cooperation with Jingdong, Xiaomi, and even Alibaba and Tengxun. 】
[I just discussed this with Mr. Ma. I think cloud computing will be a very promising business. We will talk about it later.]
In front of the camera, Gu Ming appeared in a suit and tie, handsome and handsome, with bright eyes and a slightly raised mouth. Every expression was filled with dazzling confidence.
The microphone next to him was rushed forward with various station logos and network logos on it.
In the living room of the villa in Sheshan Manor, all the wives fell into an eerie silence, staring at the TV screen, watching that ordinary-looking boy keep appearing in the news.
Duan Ying pursed her lips in disbelief, walked to the TV with a dull expression, and used the button below to change the channel. The result was the same news.
He had a conversation with Alibaba's President Ma on the stage, shook hands cordially with Lenovo's CEO Liu, whispered with JD.com's Liu Qiangdong, and joked with Xiaomi's CEO Lei.
And these three minutes seemed as long as a century in their eyes.
【Meeting with Gu Ming】
【Meeting? 】
[It's just a group of people getting together to talk about what to do to make money, mostly bragging. ]
[My father is a clerk in the health bureau, and my mother is a waiter in the government guest house. 】
Duan Ying watched the TV for a long time, then mechanically turned her head to look in the direction of the restaurant.
At this time, Gu Ming had already stood up, holding the knife he had just used to eat steak in his hand. He cut the flower arrangement on the table with a click, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pulled Zhou Xiaoyao out of the villa.
Mrs. Fu who was following her swallowed her saliva and looked back at the TV. The words just now seemed to still echo in her ears, but the title suddenly changed.
[If Gu Yanzu had made up his mind, he would definitely not survive more than 3 days]
[If I make up my mind, I will definitely not survive more than 3 days]
