"I'll go open the door." Wang Zijin, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and watching TV, put on her slippers and ran to the entrance.
A man in his thirties stood at the door. He was wearing a fitted casual suit and had a decent appearance, exuding a gentle aura. He was carrying a basket of fruits.
When he saw Wang Zijin, he was stunned. Perhaps he suspected that he had entered the wrong door, so he quickly glanced at the house number.
"Hello, I'm Miss Qin's student." He sized up Wang Zijin and was slightly surprised. Miss Qin's relative?
"Come in." Wang Zijin smiled gracefully. She turned sideways and invited the guest in. Then, she closed the door and bent down to find a pair of cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Qin Ze poked his head out of the living room and looked at the man for a few seconds before suddenly remembering who he was. This person was called Wang Pei, Old Master's favorite student. When Qin Ze was in junior high, he would visit Old Master almost every weekend to ask some questions or help Qin Ma with the housework.
After graduating from university, he became busy with work and came less often. After that, Qin Ze moved in with his sister. He hadn't seen him for three to four years.
Wang Pei was also stunned. He stared at Qin Ze and thought to himself, Is this Miss Qin's son? I don't remember Miss Qin's son being so handsome. The students who had been to Miss Qin's house all knew that Miss Qin had a pair of children, a white swan and an ugly duckling.
When the white swan just entered junior high, she had a natural seductive charm and seductive charm.
When the ugly duckling entered senior high, other than its height of 1.84 meters, its appearance and aura were ordinary.
The only thing Qin Ze was good about was his height. Qin Bao Bao was 1.72 meters tall and had to tiptoe to kiss him.
"Is Wang Pei here?" Qin Ma shouted from the kitchen.
"Auntie, it's me," Wang Pei said with a smile.
Qin Ze thought to himself, 'At least you're a little more sensible.'
Back then, when this guy saw Qin Ma, he kept calling her Master's wife, which made Qin Ze feel very pretentious. 'Motherf * cker, do you think you're Ling Huchong?' Master's wife? What era is this?
"Your teacher is in the study room. I'll get Azé to call him." Qin Ma said, "Son, ask your father to come out."
Wang Pei had no choice but to face reality. Alright, it was indeed that ugly duckling. It was just that it developed a little slowly.
Qin Ze poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Pei, then went to the study to call out the old man.
When the old man heard that his favorite disciple had arrived, he was very happy and welcomed him with a smile on his face.
Qin Ze poured another cup of tea for me.
Wang Zijin originally wanted to let me do it, but Qin Ze didn't let her do it. She didn't even know where the tea leaves were. She was purely trying to curry favor with the old man.
She couldn't curry favor with Qin Ma. She didn't know how to cook. If she went in rashly, she would only expose her shortcomings. Moreover, Qin Ma's favor was almost full.
Lunch wasn't ready yet. The old man chatted with the students while his son, Qin Ze, accompanied him. Wang Zijin didn't feel like an outsider at all. She made a cup of tea for Qin Ze and sat next to him as if she were Qin Ze's elder sister, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
"Where's Bao Bao?" Wang Pei asked the question in his heart after exchanging greetings with the old man.
"She's not feeling well. She's lying in her room," the old man said.
"Then you have to go to the hospital. Don't fall ill with minor diseases," Wang Pei said with concern.
"It's okay. I'm not that delicate." The old man didn't want to say that the girl had menstrual cramps.
"What position are you in now?"
"I'm still the regional manager in Pudong. I haven't moved in two years."
The old man nodded. "Zhongfeng is famous for its deep and muddy waters. What you need to do now is to seek stability. In today's society, no matter how capable you are, it still depends on your qualifications. At your age, even with your father-in-law's help, you've reached your limit. The next step is to build up your qualifications. "
Wang Pei said, "Teacher, what you said makes sense. I'll listen."
While Qin Ze absorbed the knowledge of stock trading, he also learned about securities companies. Zhongfeng Securities had been rated 2A for 15 years in a row. It was definitely a big shot in the securities industry.
Wang Pei could climb to the position of regional manager in just five years not only because he was capable, but also because he had a good father-in-law. According to the old man, he seemed to be the second-in-command of Zhongfeng.
It was a classic example of a peacock man marrying a phoenix girl.
The most famous peacock man in history was Chen Shimei.
Wang Pei understood the ways of the world very well. He didn't neglect Qin Ze next to him and asked, "Azé, is this girl your girlfriend?"
Qin Ze looked at Wang Zijin, who returned a faint smile.
The old man snorted. "If he can find such an outstanding girlfriend, there must be smoke rising from his ancestors' graves."
This was really his biological father …
When the meal was ready, Qin Ma called for dinner. "Son, go and wake your sister up for dinner."
Qin Ze ran into his sister's room. The blackout curtains were tightly closed. Qin Bao Bao was lying on her side, one of her legs was outside, clamping the quilt. The fluorescent light of the phone shone on her face.
Qin Ze slipped over and slapped his sister's butt. "Time to eat."
Qin Bao Bao cried out in pain. "You're asking for it."
She sat up angrily and threw a pillow at him.
Qin Ze caught the pillow and threw it back on the bed. "Get up and eat."
Seeing that his sister could still argue with him, it meant that her stomach didn't hurt anymore.
At the dinner table, the old man sat at the head of the table. On his left were his favorite students, Wang Pei and Qin Ma. On the right were the only son, the eldest daughter, and Wang Zijin.
According to the family's status, Qin Ze's seat should have been his sister's, but his sister was wilful and deliberately separated her brother from her best friend.
"Bao Bao, are you feeling better?" Qin Ma picked up a piece of fish for her daughter. "Eat this, it's good."
Qin Bao Bao ate happily. "Yes, Azé, help me massage …"
"Massage what?" Qin Ma asked.
"He massaged the soles of my feet. I feel much better now," Qin Bao Bao said.
The old man and Wang Pei continued to talk about the workplace, finance, national policies, and other topics. The old man, who rarely spoke during dinner, was very talkative. Wang Pei could always follow his train of thought. The two even opened a bottle of white wine and chatted while drinking.
Qin Ma sighed. "Wang Pei, if only our Azé was half as successful as you."
Qin Bao Bao retorted, "Mom, I'm afraid you're wrong."
The old man scolded, "How can you say that?"
Qin Bao Bao pouted and lowered her head to eat.
Wang Pei wasn't angry. After all, he had been trained in the workplace for a few years. He smiled and said, "Azé is doing his internship, right?"
The old man's tone was exasperated. "He only knows how to trade stocks at home all day. He doesn't even go out to look for a job."
Qin Bao Bao was very protective of her son. She immediately said, "He found a job."
The old man glared at her, and she was scared again.
Wang Pei said, "You like to trade stocks? Are you interested in coming to Zhongfeng? I'll arrange it for you."
Qin Ma was overjoyed. She picked up some food for Wang Pei and said, "I'm sorry. I'll get Azé to try it out on Monday."
For a long time after the stock market took shape in China, employees of securities companies were prohibited from trading stocks. This was because there weren't many listed companies at that time, and it was easy to "control" the stock market and make money from it. Now, it was different. There were many listed companies, and employees of securities companies could still trade stocks. They would still lose money.
Qin Ze said, "Mom, don't worry. I just passed the interview."
Qin Ma lamented his misfortune and was angry that he didn't fight for it. "I heard from Bao Bao about your investment company. You can't even find it online. Zhongfeng is controlled by the state. It's stable and has good benefits. "
Wang Zijin smiled and said, "Auntie, it's not like the past anymore. A state-owned enterprise is an iron rice bowl, and there's even a tube-shaped apartment for you to live in. Now, unless you can enter the establishment, or at least a middle-level management position, it's no different from other places. "
Wang Pei nodded. "That's right. But at least the pressure won't be great, and the benefits will be better."
Qin Bao Bao said again, "That's not necessary. Azé can also make a lot of money by trading stocks."
Wang Pei looked at Qin Ze in surprise. "I forgot that Miss Qin is teaching him by example."
The old man suddenly blushed with shame. When it came to trading stocks, he, as an old driver, couldn't beat his son.
"Then, after dinner, Azé will come with us to the study for a chat?" Wang Pei said.
"No, children shouldn't get involved." The old man hurriedly dispelled the idea of his favorite student embarrassing himself.
The few of them ate and chatted.
Wang Pei said intentionally or unintentionally, "Bao Bao made a friend, right? Did you bring him home to meet your parents?"
Qin Ma was sad again. She sighed and said, "She wants to find me a boyfriend. I wake up laughing in my dreams."
Wang Pei was stunned. "You don't have a boyfriend? That's right. You're a big star now. It's not convenient for you to fall in love."
"This has nothing to do with being a star. She's never been in love." Qin Ma felt that her husband's favorite student wasn't an outsider. She had to vent her grievances. "How old are you? Why can't you be enlightened in that aspect?"
"Mom!" Qin Bao Bao was so angry that her face turned red. How could she say these words in front of an outsider?
Wang Pei smiled. "Auntie, Bao Bao isn't that old. There's no rush. Besides, fate hasn't arrived yet."
He looked at Qin Bao Bao and his smile deepened.
