Chapter 402 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
Zhou's father went to look for a job.
Although the Zhou family went bankrupt, he still had experience in this industry after so many years.
This time, we were simply harmed by a group of people working together.
He also knew who the culprit was.
It must be the Mu family.
Now that the Zhou family has been acquired by Deepsea, it seems that Deepsea has joined forces with the Mu family this time.
There are also several other families that have always been at odds with the Zhou family.
Zhou's downfall this time was due to his carelessness.
He was able to make a comeback then, and he can do it again this time.
Zhou's father knew that his competitors would definitely not accept him.
Going to them would only bring him humiliation.
Therefore, Zhou's father only looked for small businesses.
This industry is just starting out, and it needs experienced leaders like him.
Zhou's father volunteered to serve as the general manager of these companies.
Of course, they greeted him politely and welcomed him inside.
After a pleasant conversation, we politely saw him off.
Their small business simply couldn't afford to hire Mr. Zhou, such a powerful figure.
After going around in circles, Zhou's father ended up drinking a bellyful of tea.
As expected of small businesses, even the tea is the cheapest.
His office is smaller than a company.
Each of them doesn't even have its own R&D department and can only do some contract manufacturing of parts.
The mobile phones they produce are all outdated models.
After a long day of running around, I haven't eaten a single meal and I still don't have a job.
Zhou's father went to Zhou Chen's school to look for Zhou Chen.
Anyway, let's have a meal first.
All of Zhou's father's assets were seized.
Zhou Chen has no assets under his name.
However, the living expenses given to Zhou Chen before should still be there.
Previously, Zhou's father believed that there was always a way out.
He can get back on his own.
He didn't ask Zhou Chen for help either.
It seems he still needs some capital.
Zhou Chen felt very awkward when he saw his father.
Zhou Chen was having dinner with Jiang He.
Although Zhou Chen portrays a child from a poor family.
But now he really has no money, and he's really not used to it.
He still can't believe the Zhou family went bankrupt.
He went to see his mother, but she refused to see him.
Because he is an adult, his mother has no obligation to support him, so she won't give him a single penny.
Fortunately, I haven't quit my part-time job at the cafeteria yet, otherwise I don't know what I would do now.
Zhou Chen also didn't want Jiang He to see his father.
Jiang He is currently interning in the deep sea.
The two haven't actually had many opportunities to meet lately.
Jiang He often works overtime and has already resigned from her job at the cafeteria.
Today was a rare occasion for Jiang He to get off work early, so she was able to have dinner with him.
Zhou Chen has no one left to rely on; he can only rely on Jiang He.
Jiang He is currently interning and has a fixed monthly salary.
If I can become a full-time employee at Deep Sea in the future, that would be a fairly substantial salary.
Jiang He said he wanted to pursue a master's degree, and that he would be able to afford to study there.
He absolutely cannot let Jiang He know about his father.
In the past, it might not have mattered.
But now Jiang He works in the deep sea.
The Zhou family went bankrupt and was eventually acquired by Deepsea.
Recently, there have been many tabloid stories about Zhou's father.
Jiang He will definitely recognize Zhou's father.
Jiang He will then know his identity.
Zhou Chen said he was a little thirsty and went to buy a bottle of water.
He quickly got up and led Zhou's father away.
Why are you here?
Zhou Chen led his father into the stairwell.
"Xiao Chen, I haven't eaten all day. Can you buy me some food? Or can you give me some money so I can buy something to eat myself?"
"Here's a hundred. I don't have any money on me, so be careful with your spending."
Zhou Chen wanted his father to leave quickly, so he slipped him a hundred yuan.
"Xiao Chen, I went out to look for a job today."
"Okay, once you find a job, just focus on your work and don't come looking for me otherwise."
I work in the cafeteria now, so I still get three meals a day.
I know you're going through a tough time right now, and I'm trying my best not to add to your worries.
We'll both take care of ourselves.
Zhou Chen's biggest worry right now is that Jiang He will find out about his father's identity.
He hoped that Jiang's father would not come looking for him.
"I couldn't find a job; none of the companies were good enough. There was no future in them."
I'm planning to start my own business. Didn't I give you 100,000 yuan for living expenses before?
Give me that money, and I'm sure I can get the Zhou family back on its feet.
You should study hard at school. Once I succeed in my business, you can go back to your old life.
I don't need to work as a waiter in the cafeteria anymore.
When Zhou's father heard that Zhou Chen was working in the cafeteria, he was very pleased.
The son did not give up on himself because the Zhou family went bankrupt.
He didn't use the money he had left to enjoy himself one last time.
I used to think my son would never grow up and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
He was reluctant to go to work at the company.
Unexpectedly, my son adjusted to the situation so quickly after the accident and even found a job.
Working in the cafeteria means you don't have to worry about meals.
Give all the money to the son.
"Where would I get the money? You gave me that 100,000 yuan last month."
I've already spent it all. The remaining tuition fees and such are all gone.
I currently have 500 yuan in my bank account.
Zhou Chen looked at his father's wildly imaginative expression.
He doesn't even consider when he received that 100,000 yuan.
It's all gone long ago.
If he still had 100,000 yuan, would he be so stingy?
He used to wear disposable socks.
Now he's even started washing his own socks.
I can't afford to buy socks that cost 100 yuan a pair, and I can't afford to throw them away either.
They thought Zhou's father had genuinely gone to find a job.
Zhou Chen has been exposed to quite a few jobs.
As long as Zhou's father works hard, at least his basic living needs will be met.
I never expected that Mr. Zhou would have the idea of starting a business.
Give me your bank card.
Zhou Chen didn't care and gave it to his father.
Sister Zhu always pays her salary in cash.
The tuition for the final year has been paid.
If Zhou's father wants it, then give it to him.
Zhou's father took the bank card and left.
Zhou Chen went back to eat.
"Didn't you say you were thirsty and wanted to buy some water?"
Jiang He saw Zhou Chen return empty-handed and asked him a question.
"Oh, I was so thirsty, I drank it all in one go."
"I've finished eating, you should eat too."
"I've finished eating, let's go."
Zhou Chen had no appetite for food at this point.
They were even more afraid that Zhou's father would run back.
You'd better leave quickly.
"I'm going to the computer room now to write a proposal."
"Then I'll go with you. I'm free anyway. I'll also go look up some postgraduate entrance exam materials."
"Then you have to keep up the good work!"
"Yes, I will."
I've already made up my mind; I'll take the entrance exam for graduate school at my own university.
I'll do some part-time work this weekend to earn my tuition fees as soon as possible.
I believe you can do it.
Don't worry too much.
My internship salary isn't high right now, but I'll work hard and try to get a full-time position after graduation.
"The salary will be much higher then."
To Zhou Chen, Jiang He's words meant that he didn't need to worry about tuition fees, as her salary after she became a full-time employee would cover them.
