Chapter 761: Caught by Zhuo Mei
While eating lunch, Su Mingchao looked at his elder brother and couldn't help asking:

"Brother, I heard someone say that your Hualong Machinery Factory paid 500 million in taxes last year? Is that true?"

"Yeah, it's true."

Su Mingzhe nodded and admitted, "Originally, we should have paid more than 10 billion yuan, but because it is a high-tech startup, plus some profit and tax policies, we only paid a little over 500 million yuan in the end."

"Five hundred million is not a small amount."

Su Mingchao complained: "I read in the newspaper that 'Lianxiang' only paid tens of millions in taxes, not even one tenth of yours."

The competition between Hualong and Lianxiang for the leading position in the technology circle continues.

As Su Mingzhe's family, they naturally pay close attention to this.

Su Mingzhe just smiled slightly after hearing what his brother said:
"Although they only paid tens of millions in taxes, their revenue is almost as high as that of Hualong Machinery Factory. Their total revenue is at least 30 to 50 billion."

There were some things that the family members didn't know, so Su Mingzhe explained them to them.

So that they wouldn’t be laughed at when they tell outsiders.

The family chatted and laughed while finishing their meal.

Zhuo Xinyao is also familiar with the Su family.

After lunch, I waited for Su Mingzhe to leave with Zhuo Xinyao.

Su Dahai then frowned and sighed, then returned to his bedroom and tossed and turned.

After a while, Xia Li entered the bedroom and saw her husband in this state. She couldn't help but pat him:
"Lao Su, you are tossing and turning, what are you thinking about?"

"It's all your son's fault!"

Su Dahai was so angry that he groaned and sat up from the bed, his face still indignant as he said:

"He's only had money for a few years, but he's already turned bad and started keeping a mistress! If this news gets back to my hometown, I'll have no face left to live my life."

"Don't mind the boss's business."

Although Xia Li also had opinions about her son and Zhuo Xinyao's affairs, she did not allow her husband to say anything about her son:

"As long as Zheng Wei doesn't say anything, why do you care so much?"

After being scolded by his wife, Su Dahai was so angry that he simply lay down again and didn't want to pay any attention to this woman.

Su Mingzhe took Zhuo Xinyao for a walk on the street, and after returning to Xinyuanju, they were originally going to go straight back to their little home.

However, the two of them were still holding the return gifts from Su's father and mother to Zhuo Xinyao's mother, so they simply knocked on Lin Xiaorong's door opposite.

The babysitter comes and opens the door.

As soon as Su Mingzhe and Zhuo Xinyao entered the room, they saw many guests sitting in the living room.

Among these guests, there was one who was an acquaintance of Su Mingzhe.

"Old Su, why are you here too?"

Zhuo Mei was a little surprised to see Su Mingzhe appear, but then her face was subconsciously filled with surprise.

A classmate came, and she finally didn't have to chat awkwardly with a few elders.

When Lin Xiaorong saw Su Mingzhe and his daughter appear, her expression changed slightly.

The fact that his daughter was Su Mingzhe's lover was kept secret from relatives and friends, and he had not told anyone else.

I didn't expect it to be discovered now.

How can this be good?

Seeing that the matter was about to be leaked, Su Mingzhe reacted in time and greeted Lin Xiaorong first, and then responded to Zhuo Mei:

"I'm here to give Director Zhuo some New Year gifts. Thank you Director Zhuo for helping us recruit a lot of fresh graduates this year."

Zhuo Mei was not surprised after hearing Su Mingzhe's answer.

Zhuo Xinyao is the director of the school's employment office, so it is natural for her to have a good relationship with her boss Su Mingzhe.

Afterwards, everyone introduced themselves to each other.

Zhuo Mei is Zhuo Xinyao's cousin, and their grandfathers are brothers.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, Zhuo Mei, accompanied by her family elders, comes to visit the sick Lin Xiaorong.

Zhuo Mei and Zhuo Xinyao also introduced Su Mingzhe's identity respectively.

Zhuo's relatives were a little surprised when they heard that Su Mingzhe was the recently famous boss of Hualong Group.

When Zhuo Mei said that she and Su Mingzhe were classmates, everyone immediately greeted them with smiles, wishing they could bring the two together.

Fortunately, Zhuo Mei blushed and told the elders that Su Mingzhe already had a girlfriend who was her classmate. Only then did everyone feel sorry for her.

Su Mingzhe was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, so after chatting for a few words, he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhuo Xinyao also used the excuse of sending Su Mingzhe home, and the two of them went out and into the house opposite.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhuo Xinyao was secretly afraid:
"I didn't expect to have guests at home. Fortunately, I bought two houses facing each other, otherwise, it would be hard to explain."

If her relatives and friends really found out that she was someone's lover, she would definitely be socially ruined.

After all, being someone's lover is not a pleasant thing to do.

About half an hour later, it was around three o'clock.

Zhuomei also said goodbye to her family and left.

When going downstairs, Zhuo Mei saw a familiar black Mercedes-Benz.

“Isn’t this the one that Lao Su owned?”

Zhuomei had ridden in Su Mingzhe's car once before and still remembered the license plate number. "Old Su has been gone for half an hour, why is the car still parked here?"

Zhuo Mei is not stupid. She was able to be admitted to Beijing South University of Technology and her IQ is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Many thoughts raced through her mind, and she soon found a reasonable explanation.

"When Lao Su and my cousin came in just now, he seemed to be in front... That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Zhuo Mei took a deep breath. She felt that her imagination was a bit too wild and she didn't dare to guess any further.

Zhuo Mei guessed the relationship between Su Mingzhe and Zhuo Xinyao, but she didn't dare to guess further.

After all, no matter whether her guess was right or not, she could only pretend that she knew nothing.

She can't afford to get involved in this matter!
Su Mingzhe didn't take today's little episode seriously.

A few more days passed.

At the end of the year, after Zheng's father's second wedding, Zheng Wei finally returned to Shanghai.

Su Mingzhe originally wanted to take Zheng Wei back to the Su family.

As a result, Su Dahai took his family back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, saying that he would not come back until after the Chinese New Year.

As a result, Su Mingzhe simply took Zheng Wei to Haikou for a half-month trip.

In the past two years, Haikou's tourism economy has driven the real estate bubble market. The average price of houses in Haikou has risen to 7,500 yuan per square meter, more than twice that of Shanghai.

In the past two years, the bubble burst and housing prices fell.

The housing prices in Haikou have dropped to more than 1,000 yuan per square meter, only 10% or 20% of the previous two years.

Although housing prices have plummeted, there are countless unfinished buildings.

However, Haikou's tourism economy has also made a name for itself.

Every winter, countless wealthy people come here for vacation.

Su Mingzhe brought Zheng Wei here to play for half a month and spent more than 100,000 yuan.

Not long after the two returned to Shanghai, Su Mingzhe went to Shitouzhai again and brought Ruan Guan back.

Zhao's mother was too strict with her "son", even to the point of being pathological.

Whenever the clone and Ruan Guan went out on a date, Zhao's mother would call them almost every one or two hours.

Su Mingzhe could no longer bear it, so he brought Ruan Guan back early.

This year, Li Weijuan and Zhu Xiaobei still came back two days earlier.

We are all sophomores now, so there is not much to do at home.

After the four women got together, they traveled around for a few days.

Then everyone started a new semester.

Studying and working are the life of a normal person.

In order to make himself different from ordinary people, Su Mingzhe also keeps himself busy every day, studying when he should study and working when he should work.

And after school starts.

After a semester of careful observation, Zhuo Mei also confirmed that there must be something going on between Su Mingzhe and her cousin.

This incident put Zhuo Mei under tremendous pressure, and she felt a strong sense of pressure every time she met Zheng Wei, as if the woman who had an affair with Su Mingzhe was not her cousin Zhuo Xinyao, but her.

As Zhuomei's good friend, He Luya was the first to discover that Zhuomei's mental state was not right.

After school that day, when the two returned to the dormitory, He Luya called her:

"Xiao Mei, are we best friends?"

"Of course it is."

Zhuomei didn't understand, but still answered her friend firmly.

He Luya looked at her seriously when she heard her say that: "We are best friends. You have been absent-minded recently. Is there something going on that you are hiding from me?"

"Green Bud, I can't talk about this matter."

Zhuo Mei didn't expect that her thoughts were seen through by her good friend.

However, she didn't want to tell He Luya about this.

Because He Luya's mouth was a little cracked, once she knew about it, the third or even fourth person would definitely know about it.

Eventually, the truth will become known to everyone.

"What's inconvenient to say? Why are you hiding it from me?"

He Luya was a little dissatisfied and pretended to be angry.

Zhuo Mei could only comfort her in a kind voice and dared not reveal any information.

Time is like water and years are like songs.

The second semester of my sophomore year passed by uneventfully.

As summer vacation approaches.

Zhuo Mei thought she would have a relaxing vacation, but after the final exam, she was told by her parents that she had become a summer intern at Hualong Company through her cousin Zhuo Xinyao.

When Zhuo Mei heard the notice her parents gave her, she was very angry. She was angry why her parents did not inform her and made the decision for her.

But then she rejoiced:
"Luckily, Lao Su and Zheng Wei went on a road trip. Otherwise, if Lao Su knew about this, it would be so embarrassing!"
