He stood in front of his mother, enduring her wrath and her stormy reprimands.
Chen Jin hung his head low like a rooster that had lost a fight.
His father, Chen Gang, hid in a corner and almost laughed out loud.
As the saying goes, the devil rises ten times higher. Chen Jin's schemes and tactics were nothing in front of his astute mother.
He Hi couldn't help but be angry. She had painstakingly selected three matchmaking partners, three excellent matches, and her painstaking efforts, but this guy didn't appreciate it at all. Her good intentions were treated as malicious intent.
If not for the fact that He Hi never used violence on her son, she would have given this bastard a good beating!
Amidst the torrent of abuse, He Hi's heart could not help but soften when she saw her son's dejected look.
"Hey! Son, Mom is doing this for your own good. It's been three years since you graduated from university. Other than living off your parents, what have you done that is meaningful? A person's life is short. Decades will pass in the blink of an eye. Can you go on like this?
"Mom urges you to get married early so that you know what responsibility is. It's so that you can mature faster. Mom's painstaking efforts, why can't you understand it? Do you really want me to die of anger? "
He Hi said this in a sincere and heartfelt manner. She was a little exasperated at her son's failure.
She did not even want her son to become a good piece of steel. She just wanted him to become a good piece of iron, or an iron that listened to her.
The problem was that this kid was not obedient.
Did she want to force me to use that ultimate move again?
"Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to get married so early. I'm only 24, and the average age of marriage in Shang Hai City is 34. It's too early to get married now … I want to wait a few more years."
Chen Jin said. Of course, he knew that his mother was doing this for his own good. But he had his own ideas. He was not a child anymore. He could not do everything according to his mother's arrangements.
"What can you do if you don't get married? Will you go to work if I ask you to? If you don't get married and have grandchildren for me, what else can you do? "
He Hi knew that these words hurt her son's self-esteem, but he would not know his place if he did not say it out loud.
"Mom, I have things to do now. I want to do big things and make a lot of money!"
Chen Jin suddenly clenched his fists, and his expression became extremely serious.
His gaze was firm as he said, "I've made up my mind. From today onwards, I won't rely on you anymore. I'm going to fight for myself!"
"Oh ~"
He Hi looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "My silly son, are you fighting with your mother?"
His father, Chen Gang, also couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and thought to himself, "Rely on yourself? Can you?
"Mom, I'm not holding a grudge against you. I'm serious. From today onwards, I'm going to fight for myself. I'm not going to take advantage of you anymore!"
Chen Jin had a serious look on his face. He even said, "From now on, I'm a dog if I ever ask for a single cent from you!"
This time, He Hi was stunned.
Her gaze swept back and forth across his face several times, and from his unchanging solemn expression, she finally felt his determination.
"Struggle? What are you planning to fight for? Can you tell me your plan? "
Chen Jin said with longing, "I plan to start my own business and start a company of my own. Then, I'll make it big and strong and earn a lot of money …."
"What kind of industry are you planning to go into? Which field are you planning to expand into? "He Hi did not suppress him immediately. Instead, she asked about his specific plans.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but it should be in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence …."
At this time, Chen Gang could not help but interrupt. "Do you know how high the entry requirements for robotics and artificial intelligence are? You can invest tens of millions of dollars and still not make a dent. Moreover, do you have the technology? Do you have any talents? What gives you the confidence to enter these industries? "
"Uh … no, I only have an empty factory. I don't have anything else, but I just want to give it a try."
Chen Jin said weakly. He could hear the disdain and sarcasm in his father's words.
"Don't even try. You don't even have a one in ten thousand chance of success! How about this, my company is recruiting recently. I'll find someone to talk to and think of a way to recruit you into my company. You can follow me as an apprentice. I'll teach you step by step. You're still young, it's not too late to learn now. In ten years, you might even be a senior engineer like me …. "
Chen Gang talked non-stop. In his heart, he still had a little hope of fighting for his son to inherit his glorious career. It was not too late yet. He wanted to fight for it one last time.
He did not notice that Chen Jin was rolling his eyes.
"After this National Day, come with me to the company. I'll find a way to get you in!"
"Chen Gang, can you shut that mouth of yours? My son is not as bad as you say. What makes you say that his business will definitely fail? What if he really succeeds? "
He Hi was getting impatient. She opened her mouth to suppress him.
However, Chen Gang stubbornly said to Chen Jin, "I'll be frank. The probability of this kid succeeding in his business is lower than winning a five million dollar lottery! I don't believe he will succeed!
Even if he fails, he's still my son! I'll use money to support him in the future! "
He Hi, who had just given Chen Jin a good scolding, was now in protective mode again. She scolded her husband, Chen Gang, shrunk his head, not daring to talk back.
When she was tired of scolding, He Hi turned her head and said kindly to Chen Jin, "Son, if you want to start your business and make a name for yourself, Mom will definitely support you. No matter what you do, Mom will support you!
But Mom can't give you anything else. I can only give you five million dollars as the starting capital for your business. I'll let you try your luck. "
"Five million?"
Chen Jin and his father exclaimed at the same time.
His mother was actually taking out so much money to support him. At this moment, Chen Jin's eyes were a little wet. He could really feel his mother's love for him.
However, He Hi changed her tone and said, "But, Mom can only take out this much. If your business fails and you lose all five million dollars, Mom can't take out any other money to support you. Mom can only give you this one chance. If you fail, you have to keep your heart to yourself, listen to Mom's arrangements in all aspects, and live an honest and stable life … Son, this is Mom's deal with you, okay?"
Chen Gang, who was at the side, understood now. His wife wanted to use five million dollars in tuition fees in exchange for his son's willingness to listen to her arrangements in all aspects.
Chen Gang murmured, "So, you also know that our son is not suited to start a business. His chances of success are very low.
But … five million dollars! This tuition fee is really too high, isn't it? "
He could not agree with He Hi's way of education. How was this helping his son? This was clearly harming him!
"Mom, it's good that you can support me. But, I don't want five million dollars, not a single cent! I have enough money to start my business! You don't have to worry about the capital! "
Chen Jin held up three fingers. "Three years, give me three years at most. I'll definitely make my company successful. I'll make at least a hundred million, no, a billion in profits every year! With Mom's support, it's impossible for me to fail. I guarantee success! "
"But …"
Chen Jin also made his request. "Mom, if my business is successful and I make money, I'll make my own decisions when it comes to finding a partner. You guys can't interfere. How about this?"
He Hi's eyes widened.
She stared at his face for a long time. The expression on her face was interesting and complicated.
Was it funny?
Or was it absurd?
In any case, He Hi could not believe that her son could succeed in his business and achieve a billion in profits every year without much starting capital.
And it was within three years.
Chen Gang almost spat out. "Three years, and a billion yuan? If you can make ten million, I'll write my name upside down! "
He Hi's lips twitched. She agreed with her husband's words. But after some thought, she could only say, "Ok, son. We'll do as you say. Mom will give you some time. If your business is successful, I don't care how you want to get married. If it fails, listen to Mom's arrangements. Get married quickly and let me have grandchildren."
"Ok, that's a deal! You can't go back on your word! "
"It's a deal!"
Looking at her son's face full of confidence, He Hi was very confused. Where did her son's confidence come from?
