Chapter 392 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
In the Zhou family home, Zhou Chen was lying on the sofa in the living room, playing on his phone.
The press conference for the project he was in charge of has already ended.
As for selling the phones afterwards, that's the sales department's job, and it has little to do with him.
He's already planning to pack up and go on a trip.
The press conference is over, and he's been working for several days now, so his dad should give him a bonus.
He has to leave before the Chinese New Year.
Otherwise, there will be all sorts of parties and banquets, which will be a real nuisance.
When Zhou's mother returned, the driver followed behind her, carrying large and small bags.
"Madam, you're back."
Aunt Zhou quickly stepped forward to take it and placed it in the living room.
When Zhou's mother saw Zhou Chen in the living room, she quickly greeted him.
"Xiao Chen, you're home. Mom bought you a tie at the mall today, take a look."
Zhou's mother took a box out of a packaging bag, inside which was a royal blue tie.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think of this color? Mom thinks it suits you well."
Zhou Chen grunted twice without looking up.
He's at a crucial moment in the game, so he can't afford to be distracted.
He's been stuck on this match-3 level for a long time, but there's hope he can beat it today.
"You think it's good too? I fell in love with this color at first sight. It's suitable for both casual and formal occasions. Why don't you try it on?"
As Zhou's mother spoke, she stepped forward to let Zhou Chen try on the tie.
The tie completely blocked Zhou Chen's view.
"Mom, what is this thing? It's so old-fashioned. I don't want it."
When Zhou Chen saw the color, he thought, "What the hell? This color is so ugly, I don't want it."
"Oh, doesn't it look good? Mom thinks it looks great. Isn't the color nice?"
"Mom, what kind of taste do you have? What's so nice about this color? If you think it's nice, then give it to Dad."
Anyway, I don't want to. I'll choose what I want to wear and what I want to use; you don't need to interfere.
Zhou Chen waved his hand impatiently.
"Is it really that bad?" Seeing Zhou Chen's disgusted look, Zhou's mother couldn't help but wonder if the things she had chosen were really that bad.
She quite likes it.
"Why don't you come with me to see Grandma in a couple of days? She keeps talking about you."
I bought a gift for my grandma. Just tell her it was you who bought it for her.
Grandma will be so happy to see you.
Zhou's mother put down her tie and then began to talk about other things with great interest.
"Oh dear, Mom, why don't you go see Grandma yourself?"
I'm going on a trip soon.
Mom, all this talk is useless. Why don't you just give me some money?
Let me have some fun.
Zhou Chen looked at the level on his phone that he still couldn't pass. He was so close, just a tiny bit more.
I used all the available items, but I still couldn't beat the game.
This was his closest chance to succeed, but he still failed.
"Mom doesn't have any money. If you need money, ask your dad."
"You're working now, and your dad's still paying your salary, isn't he?"
It wasn't that Zhou's mother didn't want to give Zhou Chen money; it was that she genuinely had no money.
Zhou's mother used the cards that Zhou's father had given her.
She can shop and spend money freely outside, but she doesn't have a single penny in cash.
As the two were talking, Zhou's father returned.
"Dad, you're back. Can you give me some money? I want to go on a trip."
When Zhou Chen saw his father return, he immediately stood up and asked his father for pocket money.
"You're still asking me for money? Why didn't you go to work today?"
"With your inconsistent work ethic, what future can you possibly have?"
"Dad, you promised me before that as long as I finish that project, you would give me money to go on a trip."
How could you go back on your word?
Now that the project is finished, what's wrong with me resting at home?
If you want to rest, then rest. Why are you acting like I owe you something?
You have to give me this money.
Seeing that his father was about to go back on his word, Zhou Chen decided to quit.
They had already agreed on everything, so why are they using this as an excuse to make trouble now?
He had already prepared a travel itinerary; how could his travel plans just fall through like this?
"Xiao Chen, don't talk to your dad like that."
Seeing that Zhou's father's face suddenly darkened, Zhou's mother quickly pulled Zhou Chen back.
"I bought you a tie. I fell in love with this color at first sight. Take a look, do you like it?"
Zhou's mother picked up the tie, intending to let Zhou's father try it on, hoping to ease the current atmosphere.
"What the hell? All you ever do is buy, buy, buy."
Can't you just stay home all day?
All they think about is going out.
I receive all those spending text messages from you every day.
Look at how much money you spent today.
That day alone cost six million.
What did you buy?
You'll squander this house sooner or later.
And this tie, look at the color, how is it suitable for me?
Didn't I say that I only wear black and gray?
If you don't know how to buy it, then don't buy it.
I don't need you to buy it for me.
Just stay home peacefully, drink tea, and arrange flowers.
If that doesn't work, get some maintenance done.
Don't spend all your time wandering around the mall and buying a bunch of useless things.
Mr. Zhou was already in a bad mood.
Recently, Zhou's mobile phone sales have been very poor, worse than ever before.
It's not just the new machines that are bad.
The sales of the series that were discounted during promotions also fell far short of expectations.
The market has been taken over by those in the deep sea.
Many stores have reported that many customers experience the product in their stores and then make a purchase at the Deep Sea store.
The online traffic is very high, but the sales volume is shockingly low.
Moreover, there have been many more comments online smearing the Zhou family.
In this wave, the Zhou family was used as a stepping stone by the Deep Sea.
He was completely overwhelmed by this mess.
He was busy at the company all day, while they were doing well.
One person shopped online from home, and the text messages kept coming in all day.
He's a pampered young master at home, never goes to the company, and still asks me for money.
You don't know how hard it is to earn money until you earn it yourself.
Zhou's mother did not expect Zhou's father to say such a thing to her.
What did he say back then?
Now they're saying this about her.
She spent six million, so what?
Is six million a lot?
Of the six million, one million was for her parents.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and it's also her father's 70th birthday. Shouldn't we prepare a gift for him?
Zhou's mother has always treated everyone equally.
Her parents prepared gifts, so her in-laws naturally had to prepare theirs as well.
The end of the year is fast approaching and there will be all sorts of banquets and parties.
She prepared new dresses for their family, which was a necessary expense.
In addition, I bought a new watch for Zhou's father.
There are also some odds and ends.
She didn't even have one-tenth of that six million.
They were all bought for other people.
Unexpectedly, Zhou's father said she was a spendthrift.
She never spent ten million in a whole year.
If she were a spendthrift, she would have bought that set of jewelry she saw today without hesitation.
I was also thinking that I had spent a lot of money today, and I was afraid that I might have acted impulsively and regretted it later.
She shouldn't have cared whether she would regret it or not; she just bought them all.
If you don't like it anymore, just go and buy a new one.
In the end, the three parted on bad terms.
Zhou's father had just returned when he turned and left again.
Zhou Chen went upstairs in a huff, slamming the door so hard it shook the walls.
Zhou's mother also went out.
She's going to buy that set of jewelry right now.
