Chapter 2387
Enjoying the Afterglow, a Rebellious Tone
The individual life is far beyond what others can understand.
Even if this person is his biological father, biological mother, or even his closest lover.
He Ping feels pretty much the same way now.
In fact, when He Yuzhu talked to him, He Ping felt both sorry for him and amused by how carefully He Yuzhu was afraid of hurting him.
He Ping felt sorry for He Yuzhu because he knew that He Yuzhu was his father, which is why he was so careful.
Is that funny?
He didn't know why.
Actually, he didn't want to mock He Yuzhu.
He wasn't like the fourth brother, who didn't know the prices of daily necessities.
He has many fellow apprentices, and to this day, his family of seven or eight still lives in a small ten-square-meter tenement building.
These days, people working in competitive sports have no other source of income besides their regular jobs; they just earn a fixed salary. So you can imagine how they live these days.
His biological father, who started out as a cook, has now ensured that his family has no worries about food or clothing and no material needs. He Ping feels that he should be grateful for his biological father's contributions.
Even though much of the property was in his mother's hands, He Ping knew that the real source of all that wealth was his father.
Just like his heart-to-heart talk with He Yuzhu before he went to Shanghai, this is the source of his confidence in winning three games and losing three.
What He Yuzhu didn't know was that if he hadn't reassured his son, He Ping might not have even had the courage to go home after losing the game.
Family is the greatest source of confidence for a child to venture out into the world.
This is something that younger generations should understand best.
The parents at home, though not wealthy, simply didn't expect anything from their children.
So when children visit home for holidays, they see it as a refueling station and a safe haven.
They traveled thousands of miles to return home, regardless of the mode of transportation they used.
He still drove home in a luxury car, full of glory.
Ultimately, they knew very well that when they returned home, their parents would feel nothing but happiness.
I don't expect them to be compared to other people's children.
They wouldn't even dream of conquering a large kingdom outside.
At most, those parents would just say, "If you can make it out there, great; if not, you'll always have something to eat when you get home..."
This is the greatest source of confidence parents can give their children.
He Yuzhu has clearly achieved this.
So what is there to criticize about such an old father, especially for He Ping, who is now somewhat disheartened?
What's more, his own father is willing to take out two million every year just to give him a chance to vent his anger at not being able to defeat Xiao Rizi.
He Ping even thought about kowtowing to his father a few times, raising his hands above his head, and shouting the slogan "Father is great!"
Therefore, older people should never think about making friends with their children.
That's impossible.
The resilience and pursuit of honor of young people are not actually like what He Yuan's comics portray—the kind of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve their ideals.
After talking with his son, He Yuzhu felt as if a heavy mountain had been lifted from his shoulders.
His son's resistance was not as strong as he had imagined.
What he didn't know was that He Ping knocked on Xiao Chongzi's door that very day. The two stood in front of the window in the stairwell, looking at the moon. He Ping then told Xiao Chongzi about He Yuzhu's earlier nervousness as a joke.
And at that time, the two young people had an impulsive scene that was typical for their age.
They kissed!
The first kiss was awkward yet sweet; He Ping's lips were even bitten raw by a small insect.
The next day, while having breakfast, Liu Ting looked at the wound on her son's upper lip and couldn't help but ask, "Son, did you bump or hurt yourself?"
What happened to your mouth?
Both young people blushed at that moment. However, He Yuzhu was still worried about what would happen next and didn't pay any attention to the scene.
The school-run factory, as it's now said, was responsible for its own profits and losses; the higher authorities didn't care at all.
But in reality, it's definitely impossible.
Losing money is a sign of arrogance, but making a profit is something to talk about.
The two door manufacturing factories affiliated with the CNC Institute are currently facing the same problem.
Recently, the advertisements that Zhang Chaoyang (小张~张朝阳) has been displaying on various buses on Hong Kong Island have gained unanimous approval from the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
Nothing else, Zhang Chaoyang felt that the citizens of Hong Kong Island had recently been hit hard by the double whammy of the property and stock markets, so the advertising slogan was ~PP Doors, protecting your wealth!
This saying isn't very popular, but it resonates with the feelings of Hong Kong Island residents right now.
This led to PP Doors becoming a small hit product in the Hong Kong Island market.
Many families who bought apartments at high prices have already lost a lot of money before even moving in, and are now hoping for a smooth life.
Therefore, the actual effect of PP Doors' advertising slogan was that the export order amount for security door manufacturers exceeded 15 million US dollars at the Autumn Trade Fair in the second half of the year.
Looking at the carefree, irresponsible young man in front of him, He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You feel like you've achieved something, so you wanted to show off to this old man?"
Zhang Chaoyang, who was returning to Beijing to report on his work, quickly put down his crossed legs. He looked restrained and said with a slightly serious expression, "Uncle He, how could I?"
I'm so grateful to you.
You led me to see a whole new world.
I'm almost thirty years old now, and this is the first time I've ever realized that advertising could have such a powerful impact.
He Yuzhu waved his hand, rejecting Zhang Chaoyang's flattery, and instead said seriously, "That's normal. We used to have a planned economy."
Outside, including Hong Kong Island, a market economy is practiced.
These two games have different rules.
I can't say which is good or bad.
It can only be said that existence implies its own justification.
Since foreigners are thriving under this economic model, there must be something to it that's worth considering.
I'm glad you're able to integrate so well.
He Yuzhu wasn't surprised that Zhang Chaoyang had brought them closer.
According to his son-in-law Xiao Song, it's perfectly normal for Zhang Chaoyang to call him "uncle".
Since Zhang Chaoyang has such a talent for advertising and promotion.
The young man wasn't overly flamboyant, so He Yuzhu was willing to offer him some pointers.
Zhang Chaoyang picked up a cloth bag from under his feet, placed it on He Yuzhu's desk, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I went home and reported my results for this year to my father."
Although my father gave me a good scolding, saying that I was ignorant and incompetent.
However, he insisted that I thank you.
I didn't have anything else of value, so I could only steal a few packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor from my father.
I hope you won't find it offensive.
Comrade Xiao Zhang's actions made He Yuzhu laugh again.
These kids from the compound all did pretty much the same thing.
Despite enjoying the protection provided by their parents, they all spoke with the tone of rebellious youths. (End of Chapter)
