Chapter 274: Is money more important, or is face more important?
Zhong Xiaoqin looked aggrieved and said that she had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. She was going to lose the job she had worked hard for half a month to find.

However, Gu Jia didn't listen to what her friend said at all. Instead, she kept her head down, fiddling with her phone, searching for a name.

She hadn't heard anyone mention this name for nearly two years.

Now that she suddenly heard it from Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia had an urgent urge to find out more.

Soon, Gu Jia found the information she wanted on her mobile phone.

"Su Mingzhe... graduated from Jiangzhou University in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in polymer materials... founded Ark New Energy in 2008... In March 2010, as the sole proprietor of Ark New Energy, he was estimated to be worth more than 3 billion US dollars, becoming the richest Chinese and the third richest person in the world, surpassing the fourth Buffett by 50 billion US dollars, and only billion US dollars less than the first and second place."

Looking at the information searched on the phone, Gu Jia's face became a little bitter, and even began to become stiff.

I still remember two years ago, October 08.

Su Mingzhe invited his roommates to dinner, and Gu Jia, as Xu Huanshan’s girlfriend, was also invited.

At that time, Su Mingzhe wanted to start a business and founded Ark New Energy. He invited his three roommates to join him and proposed that as partners, he could give each of them one percent of the shares.

As a result, Xu Huanshan, Shen Jie and Shi Tonghai all felt that Su Mingzhe's invitation to them was like alms to them.

The three of them declined on the spot.

Later, Su Mingzhe started his own business and founded Ark New Energy, and lost contact with Xu Huanshan, Shen Jie and Shi Tonghai.

Now, two years later, Gu Jia sees news of Su Mingzhe again.

The 1% of shares that Xu Huanshan, Shen Jie and Shi Tonghai gave up that year was worth more than 500 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 3 billion RMB.

Just think about it, your boyfriend actually missed out on more than 3 billion.

Gu Jia touched her chest, wondering why it hurt so much.

Because that is money that you can never earn in your entire life.

"Jia Jia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished telling her story, she finally noticed that her friend's face had turned pale and her lips had lost their color, as if she was sick.

"I'm fine, just take a rest."

Gu Jia felt sad about the more than 3 billion yuan that was thrown away by her boyfriend.

But Gu Jia would definitely not say such things to Zhong Xiaoqin.

After finally convincing Zhong Xiaoqin that she was fine, Gu Jia took her cell phone, went to the balcony and called her boyfriend.

Before graduation, Gu Jia was a fan of appearance. She liked Xu Huanshan's handsomeness and sunshine, and admired his independence and confidence.

But after entering society, Gu Jia worked in a restaurant for more than a year and has gradually accepted the ways of the world and started to become more tactful in her ways of dealing with people and doing things.

Only two years after graduation, Su Mingzhe has become the richest Chinese.

Gu Jia does not expect Su Mingzhe to give Xu Huanshan another chance to cooperate. As long as Su Mingzhe can give Xu Huanshan a little help, she believes that her boyfriend will be able to become successful and no longer have to stay in the fireworks factory and live a '996' life.

The call was answered soon.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Huanshan, who had just got off work, received a call from his girlfriend and was quite happy.

The two expressed their true feelings over the phone.

Gu Jia mentioned, as if accidentally:
"Huanshan, it's been almost a year since you graduated. Are you still in touch with your old classmates?"

"Contact me."

Xu Huanshan didn't know what Gu Jia meant, so he smiled and said, "As long as the students who stay in Jiangzhou to work, we will make an appointment to play football together every weekend."

Seeing that Xu Huanshan didn't understand her hint, Gu Jia had to make her words clearer: "Are all four of you in the dormitory here?"

When Xu Huanshan was asked about the specific person, he was slightly stunned and said in a somewhat awkward tone:
"No, you know that Su Mingzhe in our dormitory is very arrogant. After he started his own business, he never contacted us again."

"He didn't contact you, so did you contact him?"

After hearing what her boyfriend said, Gu Jia asked back, feeling speechless: "Su Mingzhe is a big boss, he started his own business, and has such a bright future, how could he have the heart to play football with you guys."

Xu Huanshan heard that his girlfriend seemed a little angry, and quickly explained to the phone:
"Gu Jia, you don't know this Su Mingzhe. When he was in school, he was busy working to earn a living and didn't play football at all. Now we've found him and asked him to just watch us play, but he doesn't have any fun."

When Gu Jia heard Xu Huanshan's answer, she became a little angry for a moment.

She had always thought that Xu Huanshan was independent, confident and very charming. But now it seems that his independence and confidence were a bit excessive and he was extremely selfish.

People are more mad than people.

Love and hate happen in a moment.

Xu Huanshan didn't know that one word of his explanation would make his girlfriend so angry.

Gu Jia felt pain in her chest for a long time before she finally calmed down.

Then she decided to get straight to the point and speak frankly to her simple-minded boyfriend:
"Huanshan, there is something I want to tell you."

Afterwards, Gu Jia told Xu Huanshan the news that she accidentally discovered through her good friend Zhong Xiaoqin that Su Mingzhe had become the richest Chinese.

"Huanshan, when Su Mingzhe started his business, he also asked you guys out. This shows that in his heart, you roommates are still quite important to him. You are now a designer in a fireworks factory, and your monthly salary is only over 10,000 yuan. Why not ask him for help, work in his company, or start your own business, it's better than working in a fireworks factory now."

"impossible!"

After hearing what Gu Jia said, Xu Huanshan rejected his girlfriend's proposal and said:

"Gu Jia, a good horse never turns back. Since we rejected Su Mingzhe's offer to start a business together, how can we go back to him now? Let's not talk about this anymore. There is no way I will go back to him."

Xu Huanshan's resolute attitude made Gu Jia's face uncertain. The two remained silent on the phone for a long time before they said good night to each other and hung up.

The phone call was hung up, but Gu Jia still felt unwilling.

It’s just that Gu Jia and Su Mingzhe didn’t know each other very well. At most, they had eaten a few meals together and didn’t say much. Even if she wanted to communicate with Su Mingzhe in the name of her boyfriend, she had no reason to do so.

After a moment of distress, Gu Jia could only hide her thoughts and lie on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time before slowly falling asleep.

Su Mingzhe didn't know that he just asked Zhong Xiaoqin to deliver a package to him, but it caused so many chain reactions.

At this time, he and Wu Xu had just finished dinner, and Wu Xu asked him to accompany her to take a bath in the indoor swimming pool.

Since giving birth to twins, Wu Xu's body has become somewhat out of shape.

In order to recover, Wu Xu swims for two hours, does yoga for two hours, has a SPA massage, and uses more than a dozen facial masks every day.

Now that the two children are just over a hundred days old, Wu Xu's body has returned to her pre-pregnancy weight - 44 kilograms.

Not only did I regain my weight, but my skin elasticity also recovered well.

After swimming, Wu Xu went back to the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing the man following her in, she couldn't help but smile:
"Hubby, it's not possible today. The relatives are here again."

"Ah? Then why are you bothering me?"

Su Mingzhe was a little angry. This woman was really dishonest.

"Don't be angry, husband. I have something to ask of you."

Wu Xu is best at finding something to hold against Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe was under someone's control and could only obey orders.

After a long time, Su Mingzhe felt refreshed, returned to the bedroom, and began to think about what the woman said.

The main reason why Wu Xu resigned last year and the two got married on National Day was that she was unexpectedly pregnant.

For this reason, Wu Xu quit her job as a school counselor and became a full-time housewife.

Today, the two children have been born for more than three months.

Wu Xu had been a full-time housewife for a year, and she was so bored that she wanted to go back to work.

After all, as a modern woman, staying at home all day and doing nothing can be really depressing.

Su Mingzhe also supports his women to have a job and find their own social value in society.
In the previous worlds, most of the women of Su Mingzhe had their own jobs.

Su Mingzhe did not force it, and those women stayed at home, not going out of the front door or the back door.

But in this world, Su Mingzhe was served too comfortably by Wu Xu.

Now Wu Xu suddenly has to go to work, and go back to his old job as a university counselor.

Isn't this just tormenting yourself?

I can understand why Wu Xu likes the profession of counselor.

But Su Mingzhe really didn't want to agree if his wife continued to look for this job.

Although university counselors work five days a week and have two days off, they work long hours on weekdays and are basically on call 24 hours a day.

If students have problems and can’t find a counselor, then when something goes wrong, the counselor will be held responsible.

Su Mingzhe told Wu Xu in detail his thoughts and reasons why he didn't want his woman to take the job of counselor.

Wu Xu was a little embarrassed for a moment.

She truly loves the job of counselor. Being with students every day makes her feel full of energy.

But the man's words also made her hesitate.

That night, the two of them had a dispute about something for the first time.

the next day.

When Wu Xu's mother came over to help take care of the child, she heard her daughter complaining:
"Marrying a rich man doesn't always mean everything will go your way. You have to take care of the man's wishes in everything, and you lose all your autonomy."

"What happened? Did you have a fight with Azhe?"

Wu Xu's mother is a traditional woman. She used to be an elementary school teacher, but she retired due to poor health.

Wu Xu told his mother about his idea of ​​becoming a counselor again.

Wu Xu's mother did not take her daughter's side this time. Instead, she accused her:
"What kind of job is it to be a counselor? Is there a future for it? You are just a contract worker, without even a regular position. You earn three to four thousand yuan a month, and play with a bunch of immature kids every day. Azhe was right not to let you be a counselor."

Wu Xu was scolded by his mother and immediately became dissatisfied:

"Mom, can you please not be so snobby? I am not a counselor to make money or to become an official. I just want to do my job well and help every student who is in need."

Wu Xu's mother smiled coldly and threw her granddaughter in her arms to her daughter who was feeding her grandson:

"Anyway, I don't agree. Apart from anything else, these two children are so young. If you become a counselor, what will happen to these two children?"

"Isn't this something you brought with you?"

Wu Xu muttered something, but was glared at by his mother, and the work enthusiasm that he had finally mustered was immediately extinguished.
