Chapter 537: An Unbearable Weight
Zhou Hongqi once again set foot on the land of Africa, and his feeling was completely different from half a year ago.
Because of diplomatic reasons, he did not have any official information about his trip this time.
It was only the black man who helped him buy a plane ticket in China and sent someone to the health center where he worked, and Zhou Hongqi had a second trip to Africa.
When he got the ticket, Zhou Hongqi still didn't believe in the nonsense of black people, but for young people in Portuguese-speaking countries like Mozambique, who can speak fluent English and even have a pure accent, Zhou Hongqi prefers to believe that it is a rich second generation in distress.
The ticket is first class to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, and the return ticket has been purchased, although there is no information such as a hotel, Zhou Hongqi feels that at least he will not suffer a bad experience of not being able to return.
So, I asked the health center for leave, only to say that during the rescue of the medical team, a patient wanted to invite him to play in order to express his gratitude.
Then, Zhou Hongqi went to the imperial capital and flew to Mozambique again.
After coming out of the airport, he was picked up by a luxury motorhome and drove for more than ten hours before finally arriving at their destination.
It wasn't until he got off the bus that Zhou Hongqi knew that they were no longer in Mozambique.
And the country he was in at that time was too small and too poor to have its own airport.
It wasn't until Zhou Hongqi stood in a palace that wasn't really luxurious, that he finally believed that the patient he picked up was really a king.
After meeting the black man, Zhou Hongqi learned that on the third day after he picked up His Majesty, he had returned to Maputo with the medical team, while His Majesty continued to lie dormant in Mozambique.
It didn't take much time to regain power.
His Majesty, who had found his place to stay, contacted his classmates in England - yes, His Majesty went to England shortly after his birth, and did not return to China until his father died and was elected crown prince, but returned directly to inherit the throne when he was nineteen years old.
After contacting his former classmates, he eventually enlisted the help of the British government, which had declared independence from the British colonies in the year the king was born, but had a constant relationship with the British government for many years.
With the help of the British government, His Majesty quickly regained power, and then his more than 100 half-siblings were thrown abroad to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
It was at this time that Zhou Hongqi also knew that His Majesty the King really didn't brag, and even he now has more than five wives, just in the past six months, he actually had the heart to marry another woman, and he made three wives pregnant, and in a few months, he would be a king with double-digit children.
In the years that followed, Zhou Hongqi witnessed the love of His Majesty the King, and now in his early fifties, he has more than 20 wives and more than 40 children.
Of course, he didn't even inherit his father's genes perfectly, after all, his father had more than 70 wives and more than 100 children, and by the year of his father's death, the old king who died of pneumonia had more than a thousand grandchildren.
This is simply a typical example of one person creating a tribe.
The saving grace must be repaid, even if 80% of the people in this country are not guaranteed three meals a day.
But in reality, the country's GDP per capita is not low, even if it was close to 30 years ago, it was considered high in Africa. Today, the country's GDP per capita is more than two-thirds of that of South Africa, and it seems to be quite rich in terms of data.
But that's just the numbers, because more than half of this GDP is created by the royal family.
This goods, with a net worth of more than three billion US dollars, his country's annual GDP is not much higher than this number.
And after he experienced a coup d'Γ©tat and drove out all his half-siblings, the wealth of the royal family was his.
Therefore, although the country is not as poor as a dog, and his father, as a king, actually died of pneumonia, a disease that can be cured by hanging two bottles of water, the king himself still has a lot of money.
And the way he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Hongqi was quite simple and violent, giving money directly.
In fact, if he gave Zhou Hongqi anything else, Zhou Hongqi probably wouldn't dare to ask for it, after all, this ghost country and this heartless king are seriously contrary to China's political position, and basically belong to the kind that if he didn't stay in someone's palace, Zhou Hongqi would want to slap him a few times.
So that meeting was actually quite embarrassing, after all, Zhou Hongqi quickly realized that this king was definitely not a friend of the Chinese people.
Of course, Zhou Hongqi didn't have so much to worry about at the national level, so after a few boring days, he returned to China with a deposit from a Swiss bank.
After more than 20 years, Zhou Hongqi's contact with that king was not much, nor was it small, but he did rely on that money to contract a small coal mine at the beginning, and finally earned his current net worth.
However, although the king had invited him to the palace several times, he never agreed.
Limited number of meetings, all in the UK.
It was during these few limited meetings that Zhou Hongqi came into contact with the existence of the dark web for the first time, and the king knew everything and told him everything.
Including, the fact that the king is actually the fifth S-class member of the dark web.
......
This story sounds decent, but Cheng Yu still feels a little ridiculous.
After all, the fifth S-level member of the dark web is actually a guy with a net worth of only three billion dollars.
If it were to this extent, wouldn't Cheng Guangnian have the status of an SSS-level member to match his wealth?
Of course, Cheng Yu also understands that some accounts are not calculated in this way.
Think about that small broken country, the king alone has produced more GDP than the entire country, and he must have placed orders on the dark web over the years.
Anyway, all kinds of unreliable, this king can probably find sellers on the dark web, don't think about it, and know that this product has definitely made a huge contribution to the consumption of the dark web.
Moreover, after all, he is the king of an absolute monarchy, not a situation where the royal family of England or Spain has little weight in speaking, even if it does not reach the level of the ancient emperor's words, but it is definitely a golden mouth, and a word is a decree.
Considering that the remaining four of the five S-Class members are actually honorary statuses, it seems quite normal for this king to become the fifth S-Class member.
Especially in order to tell this story, the corners of Zhou Datong's mouth have foamed at the mouth, and Cheng Yu feels that Zhou Datong is not so unreliable to make up such a story to deceive himself.
"So, your father really knows the S-class members of the dark web?"
Zhou Datong nodded vigorously and said, "Really, you must believe me, no matter how unreliable I am, I won't brag about this kind of, right? Especially that broken country, my father warned me since I was a child, I am not allowed to brag about the fact that he knows a king, that is not a glorious thing." β
Cheng Yu laughed dumbly.
"Saving grace, even though almost thirty years have passed, and people have already repaid your father. But for something as trivial as recommending a member, the other party will indeed be willing to do a small favor. β
Zhou Datong nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "That's it, you can believe me." β
Cheng Yu smiled again and said, "But no one in my family really wants to join that dark web, it's just that one of my cousins is tossing around, and I don't want to help him with this." You can even help me talk to the king, if anybody recommends my cousin, and let him stand up and stop it. β
"That's fine, I'll tell my dad when I go back and ask him to say hello to that person. β
Cheng Yu smiled and patted Zhou Datong's shoulder and said, "Thank you." β
Back in the private room next door, Cheng Yu had another glass of wine with the people in the program team, and said goodbye and returned to the inn first.
came out to record the show this time, but there were really a lot of episodes, and the biggest surprise was of course Zhou Datong, I didn't expect this guy's father to know the only S-level member on the dark web who was active.
Early the next morning, Zhou Datong personally drove Cheng Yu to the airport, and Cheng Yu also took the return plane.
Before leaving, Cheng Yu used his investment finger to teach Zhou Datong some opportunities.
As long as Zhou Datong does what he says, it is still very possible to double the tens of millions on hand within a year.
Cheng Yu's way of repaying others is also simple and rude, after all, he is far from Zhou Datong's circle, and Zhou Datong has not inherited his father's studious and diligent genes.
Therefore, since it is impossible to really regard him as such a close friend, let's be more direct and help him earn some money, just like the king repaid Zhou Hongqi back then.
After returning to Wudong, Cheng Yu rested for a few days, during which he unexpectedly received two gains of 100 points.
I checked it out at the research institute, and it turned out that Li Dali had opened two more small projects, and they were the kind of projects that could be completed quickly, and the system probably thought that Cheng Yu had made money, so he gave two points.
More than a month passed in a flash, and Cheng Yu sent Qin Manyuan a second amount of money, and he also used the money to make some money.
This gave him a few dozen points.
In the past month or so, Cheng Yu's daily door-picking behavior has also helped him earn more than 300 points, making the number of points he has closer and closer to 20,000 points.
Of course, relying only on this small amount of income, if you want to reach 20,000 points, it will take two months of hard work.
Or, like when he first got the Divine Pick system, it would take at least a month to complete the more than 1,000 points that broke through the 20,000-point system upgrade.
At this moment, Cheng Yu's points came to the words 18460/18679.
And the remaining length of his life is still more than twenty-six days, but the time period has been exhausted, and Cheng Yu is about to start living the kind of days when he has to deliberately pick the door and can't waste any behavior.
There are more than seventy days left like this, and then he will begin to consume the hours of his life.
It seems that he has never touched the point of the system, and Cheng Yu has not received any tasks released by the system for more than a month, and his days and life are like snails, moving forward slowly.
During these days, everything seems unremarkable, and there is hardly anything worth talking about.
If you have to say that there is, that is, Cheng Fu is no longer in the UK, and seems to have given up on joining the dark web.
And his position in Cheng's group has gradually begun to move steadily towards the position of Cheng Guangnian's assistant.
In addition, Xue Changyun's father, the operation was quite successful, and after the postoperative recuperation, he had returned to China from the United States.
Although he still can't get out of the wheelchair for the time being, the two experts who joined forces said that after this operation, Old Man Xue has at least three years to live.
Cheng Yu also went to Xixi, took Du Xiaoyu, and visited the old man.
In any case, Cheng Yu's most colorful stroke so far is that he got a little help from Mr. Xue and got the Xixi Metro Project.
Even if he made a lot of efforts for the old man's operation later, but when the old man came back, he still had to visit him.
Not to mention Zhang Ziqing, as the biggest contributor to the success of the old man's operation, he is now the guest of honor of the Xue family.
After the successful operation, Xue Changyun stayed in China with peace of mind, the more the old man's health improved, the more he wanted the old man to see the Xue family's industry flourishing.
And Zhang Ziqing's company, Xue Changyun became an investor without concessions, how can the return he said directly invest in him?
And the wedding of Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu was finally put on the table.
Cheng Guangnian and Du Changfeng obviously want to do a big job. The two mothers are even more eager to tell the world that it would be good to invite a thousand tables.
But Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu resolutely objected, the relationship between the two of them remained the same as before, and neither side mentioned the matter of going forward, so the two tacitly expressed their opposition to the wedding that was too fanfare.
The wedding is imperative, but the scale, the two really don't want to spread too widely.
Eventually, they and the four parents were reunified.
Thirty tables, which is more than the number of banquets for ordinary people, but their status is a little shabby, which is also the bottom limit that both families can accept.
Cheng Yu was quite devastated when he heard the number of thirty tables.
Du Xiaoyu was helpless, and he could only do a new psychological construction for him.
"You see, at our level, our families and relatives on both sides must be all present, right? That's five or six tables.
There is no doubt that the shareholders of both groups will be present, and this will have to be four tables.
What about those executives? Big bosses marry daughters-in-law and daughters, if you don't let them join in the fun, they have to rebel.
Executives from branches around the country are bound to come, and the rough estimate is more than ten tables, and this has to be a screened list.
You don't have many friends, but at least you have one table, right? My friend is a little bit more, starting with two.
Then, celebrities from all walks of life, we don't take the initiative to invite, but we can't wait for people to take the initiative to ask for it, you can't stop it, right?
Some leaders in the city and the province, although they are inconvenient to attend, but the wife and family will still come, two tables.
Do the math, how many tables are left?"
Cheng Yu counted with his fingers, twenty-seven or eighteen tables.
"And who are the two tables left?"
"What if someone comes running straight without saying hello?
It's okay to be local, but you don't let people in from other places?
You have to leave two or three tables to maneuver.
Cheng Yu, let me tell you, this is definitely the bottom limit for my parents and your parents, and I don't know how many people who want to join in the fun.
Moreover, we have been counting for a long time just now, and we haven't counted the main table yet.
Thirty tables, it's really not a lot at all, and the key is that the size of our two groups is there. β
Cheng Yu had no choice but to accept it, after all, Du Xiaoyu's account was also tense in his heart, and it was indeed difficult for him to imagine that the social relationship between Cheng Guangnian and Du Changfeng could reach this level.
Before the wedding, Cheng Yu finally decided which people to invite to his table of friends.
The pipeline couple is definitely necessary, but the pipeline is expected to say that the Mengyi people dare not go, Cheng Yu thinks about it, and feels that this kind of occasion is indeed not so suitable for the Mengyi people.
Gao Yiming must be counted as one, and Xue Changyun is of course indispensable.
Cheng Yu hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell someone, otherwise, it would be a little embarrassing to meet in the future.
But after talking to Xiao Zhang, Cheng Yu, who originally thought that none of the eight people at his table was full, suddenly found that he seemed to have become the focus of the world.
Xiao Zhang, that idiot, ran to Weibo and posted a post, saying that the national husband was getting married, and the bride was not a Weibo fan.
Qin Manyuan called first, and after congratulating him, he said: "I won't take the invitation, I will definitely attend the wedding." β
Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Salt also called one after another, asking him why he didn't call them when he got married.
Xu Wanting didn't call, but she protested with Cheng Yu through Tan Wulian.
Then there was Zhou Datong, he didn't dare to ask Cheng Yu anything, but said with a shy face, "Cheng Shao, you are getting married, if you don't have my seat, I will squat at the door, just beg for a glass of wine and be happy."
It's all said and done, what else can Cheng Yu say?
Chen Jiang and Wu Jing from the research institute also called Cheng Yu to express their concern, although Li Dali didn't speak, but invited Chen Jiang and Wu Jing, didn't he call Li Dali?
Even those classmates in the United States also called. Now, they still have a layer of identity as Cheng Yu's customers, and although it will take more than a year and a half for Qin Manyuan's investment to be returned, the progress of the project has also been paying attention.
After a long time, they also know how much the return will be, so they naturally want to actively maintain a good relationship with Cheng Yu.
Shen Zhiqiu simply flew back from the United States a week before the wedding, saying that he was on annual leave, but who would not know that he was taking annual leave specifically for Cheng Yu's wedding?
In this way, plus Shen Zhiqiu's mother, the old professor, are two more people.
Cheng Yu thought that it would be difficult for him to fill a table, but before the wedding, he suddenly found that there were twenty people younger, and two tables could not be seated.
This is the result of Cheng Yu's acquaintances in the Peach Blossom Garden Club over the past year being blocked by him.
In the end, due to the fact that there were more people than expected in many aspects, just two days before the wedding, ten more tables were temporarily added, and the situation was barely coped.
A wedding gave Cheng Yu a headache, but fortunately, the two mothers really didn't let the second child worry about it and controlled everything.
On the day of the wedding, Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu gave full play to all their acting skills in their lives, but fortunately, the vast majority of those who came to the wedding were people with extremely high social status, and there was no such heckling situation as in ordinary weddings.
On the second day of the wedding, Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu flew directly to Tahiti on a chartered flight, avoiding those people who came all the way to Wudong, otherwise, they really felt that their acting skills could not cope with the farce that followed.
Regarding the charter flight, Du Xiaoyu has a lot of complaints.
Anyway, the two are married, so it's a honeymoon after all, right?
But on this honeymoon trip, Cheng Yu was stunned because he wanted to AA with Du Xiaoyu - no way, Master Cheng's time for not picking is gone, and he doesn't dare to waste it.
As a result, Du Xiaoyu angrily reprimanded Cheng Yu, and finally Miss Du paid for it, and Cheng Yu gained another 100 points for this.
"It's a good thing I didn't really marry you. On the plane, Du Xiaoyu said.
