Chapter 111: See how you define success
In the afternoon, the hustle and bustle finally stopped.
Song Wenqin felt sorry for his husband who was busy at noon, so he drove away Zhang Zhaohai and Zhang Yang, father and son, cooked for them personally, and made lunch for the two.
Zhang Yang and his father stood in front of the store chatting.
Zhang Zhaohai didn't change his chef's clothes, and took out a box of cigarettes from his body that Zhang Yang brought back, and the father and son shared one each.
"Son, although I have been busy during this time, I know what fulfillment is."
Zhang Zhaohai smoked a cigarette, spit out smoke rings beautifully, and watched the people coming and going outside, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Dad, you should have come to your senses a long time ago." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Think about my current father, smoking a pack of cigarettes for a thousand yuan, with boxes and boxes of Wuliangye Moutai at home, guarding a thriving shop, and a three-story restaurant in preparation.
Not to mention the villa that he Zhang Yang quietly prepared for his family.
What are the changes compared to the past?
The father and son chatted together and talked about the future, until Song Wenqin called them in for dinner.
For the belated lunch, Zhang Zhaohai drank two glasses, and then fell asleep after the meal.
"Mom, your phone screen is broken, right? I almost forgot, you wait for me to buy you a mobile phone in the afternoon. Zhang Yang saw at a glance the cracks all over Song Wenqin's mobile phone screen.
"If you don't change it, it won't affect your use." Song Wenqin pulled the phone a few times to show Zhang Yang.
"Replace it, I don't have much money." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
He insisted so much, but Song Wenqin was not too stubborn, so he nodded and agreed.
After lunch, Zhang Yang drove the Cayenne and went straight to a nearby business district.

On weekends, the mall is full of people.
Meng Baihan has black hair and a shawl, and his temperament is outstanding, and there is a well-dressed man with a mature temperament standing next to him.
"Teacher Xiao Meng, don't be too restrained, I am also your real senior." The man is very easy-going.
"Oh... Senior Huang is good. Meng Baihan whispered politely.
The one next to him is Huang Yuzhou, an outstanding alumnus who came back from this school celebration, and now he has a successful business and has donated a sum of money to his alma mater.
At the lunch party, many teachers and leaders were there, everyone chatted, and the principal didn't know what was going on, and after knowing that the other party was still single, he wanted to match the two.
After the meal, the senior, who was ten years older than her, really took the initiative to ask her out for a walk.
"Teacher Meng, I'll get straight to the point." Huang Yuzhou said, "Over the years, I have been patronizing my career, and my personal problems have been delayed as soon as they are delayed. โ
"Senior Huang laughed, you don't want to delay such conditions." Meng Baihan said.
"It's not that I don't know excellent girls, but how to say it, looking for a girlfriend is not looking for a wife." Huang Yuzhou shook his head and smiled, "After all, there is still fate." โ
Meng Baihan stopped talking.
To be honest, this senior is really good.
Boys of this age, if they have nothing to do, they are naturally unattractive, but if they have a successful career, this age means maturity and stability.
And people also said that they were rushing to get married...
"Teacher Meng, do you believe in fate?" Huang Yuzhou asked very seriously.
"Huh?" Meng Baihan was stunned for a moment, and was caught off guard by the question.
"I actually believe it." Huang Yuzhou looked thoughtful.
"Don't think I'm pretentious, senior, if more than ten years ago, when I was the most powerless, I met the person I wanted to take care of for a lifetime, it would probably be a pity, but now, the most suitable time, meet the most suitable person, do you think I will let it go?
"Senior Huang, you are too much..." Meng Baihan opened his mouth and was caught off guard by this set of combos.
"Let's try." Huang Yuzhou looked at the girl in front of him who could make people recall their first love. "All the concerns, I have the ability to solve them now."
"Work, if you want to be a teacher in the future, or if you want to be a full-time wife, it's no problem."
"House, I have a house in the local, Gusu, and Jinling, depending on where you like to live, by the way, you don't need to live with my parents."
"Child, if you want to enjoy a few more years of two-person time, listen to you, if you are willing to have children, then no problem, confinement sisters, nannies, and aunts are all matched for you, and you will never let your youth be consumed by diaper bottles and children's endless crying late at night."
"I'm responsible for making money to support my family, and you're responsible for the quiet years."
Meng Baihan's whole person was stunned, and his brain was blank.
As any girl, she may be a little overwhelmed in the face of such gentle promises and assurances, but she has never been an impulsive love brain.
At the critical moment, she still came to her senses.
"It's too sudden, senior, I... I have to think again. She shook her head, trying to find an excuse to go first.
"It's okay, I just want to say what I think, no hurry." Huang Yuzhou nodded, his eyes without a trace of eagerness. "Shall we find a place to sit and have a drink?"
"Senior, I may... Something else. Meng Baihan hesitated.
"Really?" Huang Yuzhou laughed.
Meng Baihan was worried and didn't know how to escape from here first, when he suddenly saw a figure walking out of the mobile phone store not far away, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a savior.
"Zhang Yang?"
"Well, I saw my former high school classmates." Meng Baihan hurriedly looked back at Huang Yuzhou on the side, "Senior, why don't we get here today?" โ
"High school classmates?" Huang Yuzhou looked at the tall figure not far in front of him and shook his head funny.
Is it an excuse that he can't see?
He didn't say anything, just watched Meng Baihan walk straight towards the figure.
Zhang Yang just walked out of the mobile phone store.
What kind of mobile phone to buy, then it goes without saying, naturally it is also Huawei, the same as Dad, mate60 top configuration, Xuanbai.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he was greeted by a tall figure.
Hey? Meng Baihan?
The frequency of encounters in the past two days is a bit high, huh?
"Zhang Yang." Meng Baihan stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Do me a favor." โ
"Huh? Doing you a favor? Zhang Yang wondered, "What's the hurry?" โ
"Help me get out." Meng Baihan said quickly, vaguely feeling the sound of footsteps approaching behind him.
Zhang Yang raised his head and saw the man walking in front of him at a glance.
The temperament is mature and easy-going, and he looks like he is not surprised everywhere.
"Is this your high school classmate? Hello, I am Huang Yuzhou, a graduate of Yinghai Middle School in the 11th class, and I am also your senior. Huang Yuzhou took the initiative to reach out.
Although Zhang Yang didn't know the details, the scene in front of him was quite familiar.
"Oh hello, senior." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and shook it.
"It's rare that it's such a coincidence today, why don't you be invited to coffee, senior." Huang Yuzhou invited.
Zhang Yang looked at Meng Baihan and then at Huang Yuzhou.
It's good, Meng Baihan didn't come up and said that he was his boyfriend to be a shield, which is quite principled.
This one is going to help.
"Senior, thank you for your kindness, but we really have something to do here, why don't I invite you next time?" Zhang Yang said apologetically.
"Don't make excuses, you're not boyfriend and girlfriend, what can you do? Don't give your seniors a chance to ask for a cup of coffee? Huang Yuzhou said with a smile.
Meng Baihan opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"Okay, don't think about letting your classmates pretend to be your boyfriend, it's too obvious." Huang Yuzhou shook his head, as if he had seen through everything, "Senior, I have to eat for several more years, will I not be able to see it?" โ
"Pretend?" Zhang Yang blinked, "Senior, it can't be said to be a pretend, in fact, I've always been..."
He looked as if he had made up his mind and looked at Meng Baihan in front of him.
"Meng Baihan, I don't know if it's too late to say this sentence now, in fact, since high school, I have always had a good impression of you, or I like it, I can finally take this opportunity to say it today."
Meng Baihan's eyes widened in confusion.
She looked at the handsome guy in front of her, and listened to the words that came out of his mouth, and for a while she couldn't tell the truth from the false.
"I, I... I. She stammered, and her heart almost stopped beating.
On the side, Huang Yuzhou frowned slightly, a little surprised.
Meng Baihan seems to be pulling people to act, but the performance of this junior brother is not like a fake, it is difficult to become true...
He looked at the handsome and tall appearance of the junior brother in front of him, and groaned slightly.
"So, we're still in competition?" He smiled, his expression looked open-minded, "Go, respect the opponent, please or please, go,"
Zhang Yang looked at this buddy, and then looked at Meng Baihan on the side.
"Then let's go, since the senior wants to invite, don't live up to the kindness." He pulled Meng Baihan with his hand.
Meng Baihan followed in a daze, and the words just now kept flashing in his mind.
Huang Yuzhou's combo caught her off guard at most, and she didn't react at all.
But Zhang Yang's words just now, which were both true and false, deeply impacted her, making her heart hang, and she couldn't wait to find Zhang Yang in private and ask.
When the three of them arrived at the coffee shop downstairs, Huang Yuzhou really asked for a cup of coffee by himself.
"What is the junior doing now?"
"Me? Now I have opened a small shop and tossed around. Zhang Yang drank coffee, "By the way, senior, thank you for the coffee." โ
"You're welcome." Huang Yuzhou smiled at the corner of his mouth, "By the way, this is my business card, everyone is alumni, if there is anything I can help in the future, just ask." โ
As he spoke, he pushed a business card over to the table.
Zhang Yang took it and took a look.
There are a lot of titles, and it looks like the owner of a company anyway.
"I don't have a business card, or let's add a WeChat." Zhang Yang took out his mobile phone and said.
"Yes." Huang Yuzhou nodded and added Zhang Yang's WeChat.
After adding WeChat, he naturally clicked on Zhang Yang's avatar and looked at Zhang Yang's circle of friends.
The latest one is the circle of friends for the opening of the new store.
He glanced at it casually, smiled and put away his phone, and looked at Meng Baihan again, "Teacher Meng, I can see that you are quite entangled now, don't think about it, since you want to avoid me so much, then after we finish drinking coffee later, you can go with this junior brother first." โ
He seemed to be very generous.
"Ah, is that okay?" Meng Baihan was stunned, quite surprised.
"Yes, it's mine after all, it's mine, it's not mine, and I can't keep it." Huang Yuzhou said freely, looking at Zhang Yang by the way, "Junior brother, it depends on your ability, let's compete fairly." โ
Zhang Yang nodded casually, thinking that he would go directly to Meng Baihan later, which should be regarded as helping her out of the siege.
After drinking coffee, the three of them walked out of the coffee shop together, just passing by a luxury recycling store.
"I have a watch that I just want to sell, and I ask for the price." Huang Yuzhou looked up at the store and smiled suddenly.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Zhang Yang was also a little interested, so he also stepped in together.
Inside the store, on the cabinet, there are all kinds of second-hand luxury bags for sale, and on the counter, all kinds of second-hand luxury watches are lined up.
For luxury goods, it is normal to circulate in the second-hand market.
In particular, it is not uncommon for some highly collectible luxury watches to be sold at a second-hand price than at a first-hand price.
"Handsome guy, what is the recycling price of my performance?" Huang Yuzhou flashed his wrist.
"Hey, you're a Rolex Diamond Ice Landi, right?" The owner of the shop leaned over to take a look and immediately gasped.
Huang Yuzhou smiled, "Yes, the public price is 700,000, how much can you give here?" โ
Zhang Yang and Meng Baihan stood aside and watched.
"We can give 790,000 here." The shopkeeper thought for a while, "I don't dare to use other watches, but I dare to do this when your watch is good." โ
"Seven hundred and ninety-thousand?" Huang Yuzhou looked at Zhang Yang and Meng Baihan, who were standing aside and looking at him quietly, "Forget it, I'll think about it again." โ
Zhang Yang watched it interestingly from the sidelines, and he was also very curious about the price of Audemars Piguet on his wrist now in the secondary market.
It is said that Audemars Piguet's prices in the secondary market have always been strong, especially the Royal Oak series.
"Boss, I'll trouble you to take a look at this watch." Zhang Yang stepped forward and asked.
"Junior brother, do you also want to sell a watch?" Huang Yuzhou looked at Zhang Yang with a smile, "Only luxury watches have recycling value, and ordinary watches may not be collected here, and they are also heavily discounted, why, are you tight now?" Do you need me to lend you a turnover point? โ
Zhang Yang gave him a strange look, showing his love for Piguet.
", Audemars Piguet Royal Oak." The shopkeeper groaned.
Zhang Yang took off his watch, weighed it in his hand and handed it over, "You take it and take a look." โ
"No, I don't dare." The little boss waved his hand again and again.
"What's this?" Zhang Yang laughed, "How much am I recycling now?" I bought it for 1.8 million at the time. โ
"It's not easy for me to give the price here, and I don't have the strength to collect it, but I estimate that the secondary market will sell for at least two million." The owner of the shop looked at it carefully, and he never got his hands on it from beginning to end.
"Two million, okay."
Zhang Yang just asked casually to satisfy his curiosity.
Now that I know the price, I just give up.
His cash flow is really not enough to sell his watches.
"What?!" Huang Yuzhou's expression froze, and he watched Zhang Yang put the piece of Audemars Piguet on his wrist without cherishing it.
Junior brother, Audemars Piguet?
Or two million Audemars Piguet?!
He looked at the tall and handsome figure in front of him at this moment, feeling the inexplicable financial resources, and a strong sense of crisis instantly arose in his heart.
"Meng Baihan, let's go." Zhang Yang called Meng Baihan, who was stunned throughout the whole process.
"Uh-oh." Meng Baihan obediently walked out.
Huang Yuzhou's heart froze, his generosity was based on not treating his opponent as an opponent at all.
What's going on now? What's going on?
Unwillingly, he walked out of the store and chased him out.
Outside the store, Meng Baihan followed Zhang Yang for a while, then suddenly stopped and gently dragged Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, it turns out that you are the most successful one in our class."
She looked at Zhang Yang and was speechless.
"Success?" Zhang Yang smiled, "It depends on how you define success." โ
"If you think there is a famous watch called success, then I have a Vacheron Constantin in addition to Audemars Piguet."
"If your definition of success is to have a house, then in addition to having a villa of tens of millions in the local area, in fact, I also have a large flat floor of COFCO Seaview No. 1 in Modu."
"If success is a luxury car, then in addition to this Cayenne in my hand, there is also a Cullinan and Bentley parked in the underground garage of the magic capital."
"If all of the above equates with success, well, I think I'm quite successful."
