Chapter 276: 271 a horse

"Jiang Chen, you’ve already started a company?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Xue Gui couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, in partnership with a few friends."

Jiang Chen nodded, his smile as warm and humble as ever.

"What kind of company did you start?"

Zou Luoxia was skeptical.

"An investment company."

Jiang Chen’s reply once again shocked the Xue family tremendously.

Although the Xue family was just an ordinary household, they at least understood that an investment company was big boss territory.

Ordinary people starting businesses developed good projects to attract investors, but it was the other way around for investment companies.

Investment companies were the investors in the market!

Without substantial capital, one simply couldn’t play the game.

Xue Yali’s view of her cousin’s boyfriend couldn’t help but change, and she involuntarily glanced at her own boyfriend.

To a certain extent, they were now in the same profession.

"Heh, so you’re already a boss."

Xue Gui forced a smile, somewhat unnatural, but his unease was different from his wife Zou Luoxia’s.

Xue Gui’s was the awkwardness of being caught off guard.

While Zou Luoxia’s was the embarrassment of disbelief.

Indeed.

Starting a company indeed qualified one as a boss.

But the "prospective son-in-law" she’d been boasting about from yesterday to today, despite all the praise, was just an employee.

Compared with Jiang Chen, the difference was clear.

How could she stand it?

"Did you and your friends jointly found the company?"

Liu Hongzhi, the proud son of Wall Street, was unable to sit still.

He used to be the center of attention; how could he allow someone else to steal the spotlight?

"Yes."

Jiang Chen responded with a smile and a nod.

"Your classmates?"

Liu Hongzhi continued to inquire.

"Yep, a few of my roommates."

Hearing this, Zou Luoxia’s heart relaxed a bit, convinced that it was just a group of impetuous young men with grand ideas starting something trivial.

She hadn’t failed to hear her sister-in-law say that starting a company was very simple these days, that anyone could apply.

Heh.

She had almost been fooled by this kid.

"Jiang Chen, I didn’t expect you to be so ambitious, to have started a company even before graduating. How long has your company been established?"

Zou Luoxia asked as if she was curious.

"We’ve just started, and for now, we’re only looking for people within our school who have entrepreneurial dreams to pursue them together."

Tsk.

Sounds quite impressive.

Now Zou Luoxia started to understand why her niece had been deceived by this kid.

He had been quiet and reticent during yesterday’s meal, but who would have thought he had a way with words?

"So, does your company have any specific business operations now?"

"We’ve invested in a few projects for the time being."

Jiang Chen answered all questions sincerely, but to Zou Luoxia, he seemed more and more like a braggart, full of tall tales and not at all reliable.

He even claimed to have invested in a few projects.

To the uninformed, one might really think he was a big boss.

Zou Luoxia was about to say more, but Xue Mingqin interjected, "Let’s not meddle in the affairs of the young. They have their own ideas. Come on, have some fruit."

Zou Luoxia was at a loss for words, feeling a lump in her throat.

She knew her elder cousin was trying to protect the young man, not wanting to expose his charade.

But since her elder cousin had spoken, it was improper for her to press any further, so she could only stop begrudgingly.

As the conversation went on, they began discussing Xue Yali’s recent acquisition of her driver’s license abroad.

"Lily, is getting a driver’s license abroad harder than in the country?" Xue Mingqin asked.

"It’s about the same, I guess."

"The only downside is that a foreign driver’s license can’t be used in the country," Zou Luoxia lamented.

"When Lily comes back after her studies, she can just take the test again. Even if there are some differences, they ought to be similar. Since she managed to get a license abroad, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to do the same here," Xue Mingqin said with a smile.

"Whether she’ll come back in the future is still hard to say," said Zou Luoxia, looking at her daughter with a motherly pride that seemed to reflect glory upon herself.

Xue Mingqin fell silent at once.

Though she disdained the concept of idolizing foreign things, her status made it awkward for her to say anything.

"Rui Rui, have you got your driver’s license?"

Xue Gui changed the subject.

"Yes, I got it in my sophomore year."

"Sis, haven’t you thought about buying a car?"

Xue Yali asked.

She got herself a car right after passing her driving test, of course, she didn’t ask for money from her family; it was her boyfriend’s support.

Having a car made dating more convenient.

"You kids, it’s not the same in China as it is abroad. Cars are indeed cheaper overseas, but here they cost a good several times more, and besides, your sister is still in school, what does she need a car for?"

Indeed.

The circumstances are different; it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation.

"What do you need so many cars for, a single one from Jiang Chen is enough," Xue Mingqin said, once again astonishingly.

"Sis, he has a car?"

Zou Luoxia was caught off guard.

"Yes, when your brother-in-law was in the hospital, it was Jiang Chen who was running around, helping me to find a house."

"What kind of car is it?"

Zou Luoxia couldn’t help but ask.

In the eyes of the Chinese, cars and houses are solid assets, significant indicators of a man’s financial strength.

"I don’t recognize it, you should ask Jiang Chen. I only know the logo seemed to be a horse."

A horse?

As everyone knows.

Those with an animal logo are generally luxury cars.

As for a horse...

"Hanteng?"

Xue Gui asked tentatively.

"Uncle, it’s a Panamera," Li Shuru disclosed without beating around the bush.

Xue Gui was moved.

Liu Hongzhi adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and couldn’t help but take another look at Jiang Chen, who displayed no airs about him.

"What kind of car is the Panamera?"

Zou Luoxia didn’t quite understand.

"Mom, the Panamera is a model under Porsche," said the equally shocked Xue Yali. She knew what her mother could understand best and explained in simple terms, "According to domestic market prices, it should be around one to two million."

One to two million?

Zou Luoxia looked at her daughter, her eyes unconsciously widening.

To know.

That sum was around the annual income of her so-called "prospective son-in-law"!

As the saying goes.

The amount of your annual income should match the price tag of the car you drive.

That is to say.

Her niece’s boyfriend was perhaps no less than her daughter’s boyfriend in strength!

"Since you have a car, why didn’t you drive back?"

Zou Luoxia’s mindset became somewhat unbalanced, even out of control, unable to accept such reality.

Jiang Chen said nothing.

Li Shuru also remained silent.

"Do you know how far East Sea is from our Qin Island?"

Xue Gui couldn’t help but reprimand her.

Xue Yali also felt her mother was somewhat losing her composure.

Although it was possible to drive back,

who would take such a car on a long journey?

"Luoxia, a car is just a means of transportation. Driving such a long way back would be exhausting, not to mention that people might think you’re just showing off," Xue Mingqin said with a light laugh.

It was a mortal blow.

Each word was like an invisible knife, stabbing straight into Zou Luoxia’s heart, causing her complexion to shift from pale to flush in an unpredictable and fascinating display.
