Chapter 467: Be Open and Honest
"Haha, Dad, you're so funny!" Before Jiang Ping could speak, Jiang Wei couldn't help but smile back and forth.
At this time, Jiang Ping thought that his parents were just ordinary workers, and he didn't know how many years he had learned foreign languages, so he must have forgotten them a long time ago. It was really embarrassing for them to show them this degree certificate myself.
So Jiang Ping took the degree certificate and explained to his parents in detail: "This says that Jiang Ping, that is, your son and I, have achieved excellent results during my studies at the University of Paris and have obtained a short-term graduate degree. ”
Zhu Yun looked at Jiang Ping with a happy face and asked, "That is to say, ......"
"That's right!" Jiang Ping nodded seriously, and then said to his parents with a smile on his face: "In other words, your son is now a graduate student at the University of Paris! With this diploma, no matter where he goes in the future, there will always be no problem in eating with a mouth!"
"Haha, great!" Jiang Jianhua patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I already knew that my son could do it." Graduate students at the University of Paris, hehe, yes, yes!"
And Zhu Yun was more concerned about her son's body, after knowing that Jiang Ping got a graduate degree, she no longer dwelled on it, but said to Jiang Ping with a disgusted face: "Why didn't you tell us earlier when you came back, Mom can cook you something delicious!"
"I didn't want to surprise you, and I didn't want you to be too tired. Jiang Ping smiled and said to his mother: "It's a big deal, let's go out to eat, I'll treat you!"
Zhu Yun shook her head hesitantly and said, "I still don't want it, how expensive it is to go out to eat!"
After listening to his mother's words, Jiang Ping realized that he should give some truth to his family and let them live a more prosperous life. Then his expression became serious. Said to his parents seriously: "Dad." Mother. I have something to say to you. ”
Seeing Jiang Ping's serious attitude, Jiang Jianhua and his wife subconsciously glanced at each other, and then Jiang Jianhua said, "Okay, you can say it, your mother and I will listen!"
Although Jiang Ping is not yet 20 years old, what he has done in the past year or so has made Jiang Jianhua and his wife realize that their son has grown up. Although sometimes it is inevitable to treat him as a child, but when Jiang Ping gets serious. Jiang Jianhua and his wife can't help but regard him as adults.
"Actually, I wanted to tell you about this before I studied abroad. But considering that I hadn't gotten my degree at the time, I wanted to talk about it slowly, but now it's time. Jiang Ping said to his parents seriously: "First of all, I decided to drop out of NTU. Anyway, I have already obtained a graduate degree from the University of Paris, and it doesn't matter if I study that bachelor's degree or not. ”
Jiang Jianhua and his wife are still acceptable to Jiang Ping's statement. After all, my son is already a graduate student in a prestigious foreign university, and it is not very important whether he wants to continue studying at NTU.
So after exchanging glances with Zhu Yun, Jiang Jianhua nodded lightly and said, "We agree on this, you are older." Some things are up to you. ”
"Okay, so let's move on to the second question. Jiang Ping nodded with satisfaction. Then he said to his parents: "It's a question of how much assets I have now. ”
In fact, this problem has been bothering Jiang Jianhua and his wife for a long time. Of course, they are not coveting their son's property, they are just worried that Jiang Ping will go the wrong way, and the money will come from unexplained.
However, Jiang Jianhua and his wife are still very open-minded and trust their son very much, so they have never mentioned this matter to Jiang Ping. Today, since Jiang Ping took the initiative to mention this matter, they were also nervously waiting for him to continue.
Jiang Ping smiled at his parents with serious expressions and said, "I have a store in the antique street, you already know it." At the current market price, that store would be worth at least three million. ”
"Three million?" Jiang Jianhua couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "That store belongs to you alone?"
"Well, it's entirely my personal property. Jiang Ping nodded and said: "In addition, there are those antique calligraphy and paintings in the store, if you conservatively estimate it, there are more than one million." ”
"That's more than four million!" Zhu Yun said excitedly: "You have only been out of school for a long time, and you have earned so much money!"
Jiang Ping said with a smile: "It's just a little lucky, in addition to these, there are more than five million deposits in the bank." ”
Hearing his son say this, Jiang Jianhua and his wife's expressions were a little sluggish. It's just a rough calculation, and the assets in the son's name are actually tens of millions! Even if the two of them don't eat or drink, they won't even earn half of this money after working hard all their lives. Their son has only graduated from high school for two years, and he has earned a huge business, which is really surprising to them.
Looking at his parents' stunned looks, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. In fact, Jiang Ping just said a part of his property, such as those jade rough stones worth more than a billion yuan, he hadn't even said it, and he had already surprised his parents like this. This also made Jiang Ping understand that his decision was right, and he couldn't tell his parents all the facts for the time being, otherwise they would definitely not be able to accept it.
After being stunned for a while, Jiang Jianhua asked tentatively: "Jiang Ping, are you ...... Your money ......."
Knowing what his father wanted to ask, Jiang Ping immediately said solemnly: "Don't worry about this, all my money comes from the right path, and there is absolutely nothing that cannot be seen!"
Although Jiang Ping's statement is a bit unrealistic, for example, the store was obtained by him by extraordinary means. But to reassure your parents, it's nothing to tell a little lie.
No matter who it is, your own child is always the best. Seeing that Jiang Ping said it so categorically, Zhu Yun believed it at first, and immediately said to her husband: "Don't we still know what kind of person our children are? Since Jiang Ping said that the money is fine, then it will definitely be fine!"
In fact, Jiang Jianhua subconsciously believed in his son, and he was relieved when his wife said this, and nodded again and again: "Yes, my son has his own number, and he won't do bad things!"
Although intellectually speaking, Jiang Ping felt that his parents' views were really irresponsible, but considering that this would save him a lot of tongues, he turned to supportive.
Jiang Ping smiled at his proud parents, and then continued: "Dad, Mom, the reason why I tell you this is to let you know that you don't have to worry about money in the future. Our family has money, how happy and how to spend it, if it's not enough, ask me for it. I'm your own son, what's so polite about the family!"
"Well, good boy!" These words made Zhu Yun feel very relieved, and she couldn't help nodding again and again: "Mom won't save in the future, anyway, with a child like you who can make money, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Jianhua also said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "Okay, you are better than your father, you can make money, and you can get a degree from a famous foreign university, I am very pleased!"
Even Jiang Wei cheered: "yes, my brother is a big money, Dad, Mom, shouldn't I raise my pocket money?"
Jiang Ping really likes this sister, and without waiting for his parents to agree, he already smiled and said, "Okay, in the future, your pocket money brother will give it, a thousand per month, is it enough?"
"Huh, long live my brother!" Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately cheered.
For a high school student, a thousand dollars of pocket money per month is definitely astronomical, no wonder she is so happy.
However, Zhu Yun frowned involuntarily, looked at Jiang Ping and said, "Xiaowei is still studying, it's not good to give so much, she will develop the habit of being lavish." ”
Jiang Ping said with a smile: "Mom, people say that boys are poor, and girls should be rich, so it's also for my sister's good!"
In this matter, Jiang Jianhua also agreed with his son's statement, he just felt that a thousand was too much. So after some fierce bargaining, it was finally decided that Jiang Ping would give his sister 600 yuan of pocket money every month.
Jiang Wei was a little unhappy about being cut off forty percent of her "income", but after all, she was still a child, and she soon became happy again. After all, for high school students in 2003, 600 yuan a month is definitely a huge amount of money.
After that's done with business, it's time to give gifts. This time, Jiang Ping came back from Paris, and it was really unreasonable not to bring some gifts to his family and friends. Jiang Ping has never been stingy with his family, and the gifts he gave to his parents and sister are also very valuable.
Jiang Ping gave his father a famous watch, his mother gave him a full set of skin care products and a set of haute couture, and his sister Jiang Wei gave her makeup and fashionable clothes suitable for her age. All these gifts were carefully selected by Jiang Ping, and the family was very satisfied.
"Ah, after talking for a long time, are you hungry?" After diligently trying on the clothes given by her son, Zhu Yun remembered an important matter, and hurriedly said to Jiang Ping: "I'll go and heat up the food for you, and then cook a few dishes!"
Jiang Ping didn't want to keep his mother busy, so he hurriedly said to her: "Don't bother, let's go out to eat." ”
"It's very expensive to go out to eat, why spend that unjust money?!" Zhu Yun glanced at her son, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.
Jiang Ping and his sister glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "Mom still didn't listen to what I said just now!"
Although Zhu Yun still does not change her habit of saving, it is still the food she cooks that is most in line with Jiang Ping's appetite. After a hearty meal, Jiang Ping slept in his own house that night.
Sleeping on a familiar bed, looking at the familiar scene in a familiar room, Jiang Ping couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "Finally home!"
The feeling of going home made Jiang Ping feel very calm, and he soon fell into a deep sleep. The next day, Jiang Ping, who was full of energy, got up early in the morning, went outside to exercise as usual, went home and ate the breakfast made by his mother, and then went out.
Jiang Ping went to Paris to study for a few months, and he also accumulated a lot of things to deal with in China. Although he only came back yesterday, it is true that he has no more time to rest.
After Jiang Ping left home, the first thing he went to was the small courtyard located in Huanhua Lane. (To be continued......)
