In Zhou Zhenghong's eyes, driving a car that was worth two million yuan was already enough for him.
In addition, not all rich people drove luxurious cars. Even Gu Ning's own car, the Land Rover that Gao Yi drove, was only worth a few hundred thousand yuan, but less than a million yuan, except for the Lamborghini that her Family Tang had given her.
Sometimes, the richer a person was, the more low-key he or she would be.
Zhou Zhenghong was representing Jade Beauty Jewelry, so Gu Ning thought that he should pay more attention to his reputation.
In fact, even if Gu Ning didn't give Zhou Zhenghong a car, Zhou Zhenghong could still afford it, but not now.
Because Jade Beauty Jewelry had just started its business, it wouldn't get a dividend until the end of the year.
In the past few months, Zhou Zhenghong could get over ten million yuan from the sales of Jade Beauty Jewelry, let alone the end of the year.
As Jade Beauty Jewelry became more and more famous, Zhou Zhenghong's dividend would be at least fifty million yuan.
With the dividend, Zhou Zhenghong could afford a house in the capital.
However, Zhou Zhenghong didn't like a house either. There were only him and his son in his family, and a house of 120 square meters was enough for him.
He had no intention to marry another woman, because there were too many cases where stepmothers treated their stepson badly. He would rather his son be deprived of motherly love than be wronged.
"Great, then …" Gu Ning was about to say that she would tell Zhou Zhenghong to go to the capital when it was time.
However, before she could finish, Zhou Zhenghong's phone rang, so Gu Ning stopped talking.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I need to answer this call." Zhou Zhenghong apologized to Gu Ning at once, then took out his phone. He was worried that Gu Ning might have something to do with his work, so he didn't answer the call.
However, when Zhou Zhenghong saw the caller ID, he was displeased. He didn't want to answer it at first, but he still answered it after thinking for a while.
"Zhenghong, it's me," the man said. "Um, Zhenghong is going to get married."
"Oh, when is it? I'll be there if I'm free," Zhou Zhenghong said.
Although he was already disappointed in his brothers and sisters, he didn't want to offend them. Normally, he wouldn't hang out with them, but he still had to attend his nephew's wedding.
"But …" He hesitated for a second, like he didn't know what to say, but he still opened his mouth after a few seconds. "But the girl's family wants to have a house in the downtown, at least 100 square meters, and a car worth at least 500,000 yuan."
"It's your family's business. Why are you telling me this?" Zhou Zhenghong pretended to be confused, but sneered in his heart. He knew why his older brother wanted to tell him this. He knew that his older brother wanted to set him up.
"We don't have money!" Zhou Zhengtang said helplessly.
"If you don't have money, don't buy it! How can you buy it if you don't have money? "Zhou Zhenghong said.
Zhou Zhenghong knew that Zhou Zhenghong was playing dumb. Although he was angry, he didn't dare to blame Zhou Zhenghong because he needed to obtain Zhou Zhenghong.
"But Zhenghong's family insists! Otherwise, we can't get married, "Zhou Zhengtang said.
"They know that you can't afford it, but they still want to make things difficult for you. Do you really want a daughter-in-law like her? It's not like you want a daughter-in-law who doesn't want a car or a house. In addition, your family has cars and houses, and your house is big enough for your family to live in. Although the car is less than fifty minutes, it's worth at least two hundred thousand yuan, "Zhou Zhenghong said.
Zhou Zhengtang's house was bought by him, Zhou Zhenghong. The car was also bought by him, and he paid for them in full.
The house was located in the suburbs, and it was 150 square meters with five bedrooms. There were only four people in their family, so it was enough for them to live in. Even if the new daughter-in-law lived in the same room with Zhou Mingkang, it wasn't a big deal.
Although the car was old, it wasn't as if it couldn't be driven.
Zhou Zhengtang's family didn't lack a house or a car, but they were greedy.
When he was successful in his business, his two siblings had helped him buy a house, a car, and other things, which cost him five to six million yuan in total.
However, when he was down and out, they stayed far away from him.
He just wanted to ask them to take care of his son, but they thought that he wanted to borrow money, so they didn't answer his phone. Both of them were like that. When they ran into each other on the street, they directly said that they didn't have money and left in a hurry. They didn't even say a word to him.
Therefore, Zhou Zhenghong saw through them.
A few days ago, they found out that he was the general manager of Jade Beauty Jewelry, so they came to see him again. They tried all kinds of ways to get close to him, but he rejected them all with the excuse that he was busy.
Zhou Zhenghong's words struck Zhou Zhengtang speechless. In fact, his wife's family didn't need a house, because they were better off than ordinary people.
Zhou Zhengtang and his wife both worked in state-owned enterprises. Their salary wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. His wife's job was easier, and she could earn seven thousand yuan a month.
Zhou Mingkang also worked in a company. Although his salary was only around six thousand yuan now, his salary would increase sooner or later.
In addition, Zhou Mingkang's girlfriend also worked in a company, and her salary was similar to Zhou Mingkang's, but her family wasn't as rich as his, so they didn't mind.
However, they wanted more money, so they used it as an excuse to take advantage of Zhou Zhenghong.
During these years, they had saved around two hundred thousand yuan in savings. It was enough to buy a new car, but far from enough to pay the down payment for a house.
If it had been before, Zhou Zhenghong would have given them a down payment, even if he didn't give them the full amount, but now they couldn't get a penny from him.
Seeing that Zhou Zhenghong was still playing dumb, Zhou Zhengtang couldn't sit still any longer, so he opened his mouth. "Second brother, let me be frank with you. I know that you're rich. How should I put it? He's your nephew, and he's going to get married soon. He needs a house and a car. Our family isn't doing well, so we can't afford it. I turned to you because I need your help. "
Zhou Zhengtang was really shameless. It was reasonable for him to borrow money to buy a house and a car, but it was impossible for him to ask for Zhou Zhenghong's financial support. However, why should he ask for it?
Zhou Mingkang was Zhou Zhenghong's nephew, but he wasn't his son. Zhou Zhenghong was rich, but it had nothing to do with them. Why should he buy a house and a car for his nephew just because he was rich?
How could there be such a logic in this world?
