Chapter 177: Philistines

After eating, those relatives all said goodbye and went back, Zhao Jiajia and her father pulled Gu Mu aside and chatted with him about some things about the national economy and people's livelihood.

Zhao's father insists on watching the TV news and newspapers at 7 o'clock every day, which is his way of learning about national events, and generally speaking, he does not go online.

For national affairs, there is another way, that is, to chat with neighbors and hear some gossip.

High-level things, he didn't say that he couldn't inquire about them, but he knew that his mouth was not closed, so he didn't dare to inquire about such things.

When the two were chatting, Gu Mu found that this future father-in-law still had a shadow of a patriotic and angry youth.

And he himself is such a person.

This made him feel like a confidant.

Zhao Jiajia sent those relatives out of the compound, and when she came back, she heard her father and Gu Mu talking about the current sweater war.

When it comes to raising tariffs in the United States, especially the use of an executive order to sanction a Chinese technology company like Chrysanthemum Factory, both of them are full of righteous indignation.

Zhao Jiajia couldn't help but smile, thinking that this picture was quite interesting.

She is a person who has studied abroad for 10 years, and she has long been out of the category of angry youth, and her living environment is very different from that in China, so she can't understand why these two people are so angry.

"Isn't your family very rich?" Father Zhao said to Gu Mu, "In the future, we must invest money in high-tech industries, don't let the enemy choke our necks, and fix us as much as they want." ”

"Uncle, you're right, when I can call the shots, I'm going to invest in high-tech industries. Gu Mu said.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhao's father: "In fact, my current investment is also high-tech, that is, the Kuyun unmanned supermarket invested with a group of friends, a very modern supermarket, and now it is the largest unmanned supermarket chain in China." ”

"This is good! This should be done!" said Zhao's father.

The supermarket is still losing money so far, and it has not made a penny of profit.

However, this does not hinder its high-end nature.

Father Zhao actually doesn't understand what high-tech is, anyway, many things are high-tech in his eyes now.

Hearing Gu Mu say this, he was very happy.

The title of the largest unmanned supermarket chain in China is enough to make him feel excited.

This supermarket was still made by his future son-in-law, and he felt that it was a very long-faced thing.

He said to Gu Mu again: "Actually, I don't think it's necessary for your family to invest so much money in a poor country in Africa, it's better to take out that money and invest it in our domestic development of high-tech, whether you want to invest in Xiaoyi's place or not is not very important, anyway, it's okay to invest in our country, there is no need to let those black people get benefits." ”

Zhao Jiajia sat on the side, and when she heard this question, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head and said:

"Dad, what you said is so incorrect, they are also doing this to support the Silk Project, to help those poor places to build, our country will cultivate a larger market, which can break the encirclement and interception of Western countries against us, which is a good thing. ”

Her father hesitated and said: "I know the big policy, but I always feel that this is cheaper for others." ”

"Don't worry, this uncle, you won't be cheaper than others," Gu Mu said, "We can get more benefits." ”

"That's fine. Zhao's father said.

However, he added: "I think we still have to focus on our country, only when we become stronger, can we not be bullied by others." ”

"Yes, Dad, you're right, we'll work that in the future. Zhao Jiajia said with a smile.

Then he took Gu Mu's arm and said to her father: "We have already bought a movie ticket for the afternoon, so I won't talk to you." ”

"Go, go," Zhao's father waved, "Have fun." ”

Walking out of the building, Zhao Jiajia said to Gu Mu: "My dad is such a person, according to my grandfather's words, there is no pattern, and it can't be a big deal." ”

"Well, I think Uncle Zhao is okay too. Gu Mu said.

"What's the deal? He was the worst of his brothers and sisters, and my grandfather's vision was quite accurate, and he wasn't even a deputy hall when he retired. Zhao Jiajia said.

The deputy hall is equivalent to the level of deputy mayor, which is already a very high level in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the Zhao family, it is the most unpromising appearance.

If you don't have a certain background, you probably won't be able to climb to that position in your life just by relying on your own efforts.

Gu Mu could only smile bitterly at this.

People are just different.

Zhao Jiajia said again: "My grandfather didn't tell him a lot of things, thinking that he was just a mediocre person, and he didn't understand it, and he didn't put resources on him to cultivate him, of course, he couldn't cultivate it." However, my dad also enjoys his current life, he is not suitable for officialdom, and it is not a good thing for him, there is no pursuit, and he lives happily. ”

"Actually, I envy your family, such a family is harmonious. Gu Mu said seriously.

Zhao Jiajia knew Gu Mu's situation and understood why he said such a thing, smiled and said, "However, most people will envy a family like you. ”

The two of them said and arrived at the parking place.

When Gu Mu was about to get into the car, he stood there and asked Zhao Jiajia, "Where are you going to go in the afternoon?"

Zhao Jiajia told her father that she was watching a movie with Gu Mu, but in fact, she didn't have such an arrangement or ideas.

I just don't want Gu Mu to stay with her father for a long time and show a bad side, maybe her father will be disgusted, and this marriage will be canceled.

- Her father is just a mediocre person who does not pursue much, and he does not have a sense of the overall situation, if he thinks that Gu Mu's character is too inferior, he will oppose this marriage.

However, she felt that it was better to have this marriage and more suitable to realize her ideals.

That's why Gu Mu was called out.

Now when she heard Gu Mu ask her, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Why don't you find a park and walk around." ”

"Together?" Gu Mu asked hesitantly.

"Otherwise?" Zhao Jiajia glanced at him, "You don't hate me and don't want to be with me, right?"

Gu Mu was embarrassed again.

He felt that Zhao Jiajia looked down on him, so he thought that Zhao Jiajia's proposal was probably to send her to which park, and then leave mellowly.

He hurriedly said, "How is that possible? I feel honored, I'm just afraid of delaying your time." ”

Zhao Jiajia laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "What time do I have to talk about delaying? In the future, I will probably be the life of a housewife, and I will have a lot of time." ”
