Chapter 498 Am I someone who needs $5000 from you?
Shen Qingran asked in confusion: "This is Boston, aren't they in San Francisco? Why are they here?"
Xu Hanqi continued to explain: "Ten years ago, Jin Biao lost a battle for territory with someone else. He could not defeat the opponent, so he had to move from San Francisco to Boston. After a few years of development, with the help of his father-in-law, he quickly became one of the gangsters in this area.
The relationship between Jin Biao and Lin Shuangxue had long been known to his wife. She was not a pushover and forced Jin Biao to sign an agreement that his assets, whether during his lifetime or after his death, would have nothing to do with Chen Wuming.
Mrs. Jin also asked Chen Nanming and Lin Shuangxue to get a marriage certificate to confirm their husband-and-wife relationship, and asked them to earn money to support Chen Wuming.
These two men had no special skills and were unwilling to lower themselves to do small business, so they could only ask Jin Biao for a job.
Jin Biao opened a casino and a club and assigned them to do odd jobs. Later, the business moved to Boston and the two were transferred here. Chen Wuming also moved here with his parents.
Seeing that Chen Wuming was growing up and had the charm and demeanor of his youth, Jin Biao adopted him as his godson and gave him his subordinates to command.
My parents met Chen Nanming on the street. Maybe he felt that he was doing so poorly and was too embarrassed to face it, so he pretended not to know them.
My parents hated what he did to my aunt. Seeing him limping, they wanted to know what happened to him so that he wouldn't come to mess with my family. So they asked my third uncle and found out what happened when they first came to the United States.
Chen Nanming is a thick-skinned person, but Lin Shuangxue is a shameless scoundrel. After she learned that my parents were also here, she always came here under the banner of my relatives and cried about how difficult her life was, and then asked my parents to borrow money.
He also wanted my parents to join Jin Biao, but he stopped after being scolded by my mother several times.
I heard that Chen Nanming and Lin Shuangxue often quarreled and fought at home, and ignored Chen Wuming at all, which is why he became what he is today. "
After listening to Xu Hanqi's story, Shen Qingran sighed, "It's really unpredictable. I didn't expect that bastard Chen Wuming had such a relationship with the Chen family."
Xu Hanqi: "When my parents and eldest brother came to the United States, they went directly to Boston with a few fellow villagers. Then, through someone's introduction, they visited another gangster boss here, Sanye, and were relatively safe.
But it also cost a lot. My parents gave almost all the money they earned over the years to Third Master, and they didn’t keep much for themselves.”
Shen Qingran: "Money is only external, life safety is the most important. It is better for you and Uncle Xu to be safe and sound than anything else."
Xu Hanqi: "My parents think the same way, and they often warn me and my elder brother not to be greedy, otherwise God will take away our blessings."
Shen Qingran: "Uncle Xu and Miss Wen are honest and kind, they will be able to live well no matter where they are."
Xu Hanqi: "You are also a kind person, you will definitely have good luck. Can I write to you after you return home?"
Shen Qingran: "Sure, but I'm not sure if I can receive it."
Xu Hanqi: "Why don't you give it a try? I'll write you a letter every month. God will see my sincerity and maybe let the letter reach you smoothly."
Shen Qingran lowered her head and smiled shyly: "If I receive a letter, I will write back to you. If the next batch of international students also go to MIT, I will ask them to help bring the letter to you."
Xu Hanqi: “Okay!”
Chen Wuming and his friends searched for Shen Qingran for half a day but couldn't find her, so they went out to drink and eat.
Xu Hanqi borrowed his father's car to take Shen Qingran back to the dormitory.
Before Shen Qingran entered the dormitory, she smiled and waved goodbye to Xu Hanqi.
The sunset glowed on her body, and she looked like a goddess walking out of holy light. Xu Hanqi stared at her blankly, forgetting to respond, until a car honked its horn because it was blocking the road, and he came to his senses.
After Shen Qingran returned to China, Xu Hanqi lost motivation to do anything. After being scolded by his supervisor again, he simply resigned and stayed at home all day staring at the wall.
The U.S. economy is currently in recession and many companies are laying off employees. Xu Ce thought Xu Hanqi was so depressed because he lost his job.
Worried that he would get stuck in a rut and become like those radical young people, either taking drugs or becoming a gangster, Xu Ce brought him a plate of fruit and said, "With your education, it's easy for you to find a job. If you can't find one, Dad can support you."
Xu Hanqi was stunned, guessing that his father had misunderstood him, and asked with a smile: "Are you really willing to support me?"
Xu Ce: "When did I lie to you?"
Xu Hanqi: "Can you give me the money for raising me in one lump sum?"
Xu Ce: "...What do you want to do?"
Xu Hanqi: "I want to return to China to start a business."
Xu Ce: "...How can you be so impulsive, you bastard?"
Xu Hanqi: "I don't get along with those people in the company. I'm always scolded for no reason. I'm so fed up. I want to work on my own. Dad, please support me!"
Xu Ce: "Starting a company is not as easy as you think. You are erratic, lack planning, and have no outstanding technical skills. You are not suitable for starting a business in the short term.
I suggest you hone your skills for a few more years and gain more experience, especially in dealing with people and managing employees. You should learn it well.”
Xu Hanqi: "I can learn while starting a business, and I will definitely make rapid progress!"
Xu Ce: "Do you think my money was washed away by the flood? If you squandered it all, what would your mother and I eat and drink? And your eldest brother, he also had a share of my assets, and you squandered them all. Wouldn't he be dissatisfied?"
Xu Hanqi: "My brother works on Wall Street and has a high salary. He won't care about your little money. I can assure you that I will run the company carefully and will not lose all the money. If we make money, we can split it 40% and 60%, how about you take 60% of the profit?"
Xu Ce: "Not so good! With your current mentality, it's hard to succeed in starting a business. If you really want to try, I'll give you $5000 first. You stay at home and show me some results."
Xu Hanqi: "Dad, do I need $5000 from you? I've been working for four or five years, so I still have this little money."
Xu Ce: "I won't beat around the bush with you. Tell me the truth. Why do you want to return to China?"
Xu Hanqi: "Don't you want to go back? That's your motherland, and there are your parents and relatives there, don't you want to see them?"
Xu Ce: “…Of course I want to meet them, but the domestic situation is unclear, and the information we know is all from other people’s mouths, so I’m a little unsure.
Wait until Qingran delivers the letter to your grandparents, and they reply, then we can confirm whether we want to go back."
Xu Hanqi: "That will take a long time!"
Xu Ce: "We have waited for so many years. We don't care about a year or two. I am 55 years old and I am not in a hurry. Why should you, a young man in your twenties, be in a hurry?"
Xu Hanqi: “…”
