Chapter 224 The password is my birthday

"company?"

"invest?"

Because of Luo Yao's shocking words, as soon as Yang Xiao left, everyone in the private room started asking questions.

Chen Li didn't react for a moment and asked again:
"Yaoyao, what did you say Xiao Yang was going to do? Invest in a company?"

"That's it."

Luo Yao nodded. Deep down, she didn't like Aunt Chen very much and didn't want to explain more, so she just said something perfunctorily.

Seeing Luo Yao's non-serious look, Chen Li didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:
"Haha, why would a college student like him invest in a company? Where does he get the money to invest? There are a lot of scammers in society nowadays. You have to be careful and don't let anyone cheat you out of your living expenses."

"Will not."

Luo Yao pursed her lips and avoided answering Chen Li's previous question.

In my mind, I thought of Yang Xiao's casual and frivolous appearance. He usually fooled other people, so how could anyone fool him?

Liu Xiaolan actually cared about Yang Xiao and felt that what Chen Li said made sense.

After all, Liu Xiaolan had a general idea of ​​Yang Xiao's parents and their family financial situation.

Last time, Yang Xiao took her daughter to visit Yanjing and even used an expensive Apple phone. All of this can be attributed to parental doting, and she can understand their willingness to spend money on their children.

But it's different now.

Whether it is a company or any investment, it has nothing to do with their family.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiaolan was afraid that Yang Xiao would go astray.

Young people like them have little experience and cannot resist temptation. It is very likely that after paying some money, they will be deceived into becoming the legal person of some shell company.

He looked at Luo Zhengbin and received the same affirmation in his eyes.

So she thought for a moment and asked her daughter:

"Do you know what Yang Xiao is doing?"

"I know, don't worry, Mom. Yang Xiao is really starting a business, and he's doing very well."

Luo Yao nodded slightly. She didn't want to hide it from her mother, so she admitted it.

Yang Xiao is indeed doing the right thing, and this is not a secret that cannot be told.

In addition, Luo Yao also wanted Yang Xiao to be recognized by others.

"Very good? How good?"

How good is it...

Emm...

This question stumped Luo Yao.

What to say.

The fans all say it’s good?

The songs you wrote are very popular?
Or are the artists under it more famous?
Uh... Luo Yao doesn’t have a complete understanding of all the industries that Yang Xiao is involved in.

The company that has the deepest understanding of this is Time Culture Media Company.

Luo Yao rarely asked about other things.

After all, Yang Xiao never mentioned these things in front of him. He only said a few words when they were together and occasionally talked about related issues.

For example, the Kuaishou GIF company that Yang Xiao is going to contact today, according to Yang Xiao, has great development potential and its future market value is immeasurable.

In fact, Luo Yao doesn’t really like to pay attention to these things.

But he liked to see Yang Xiao talking about the Internet and expressing his unique insights. At that moment, Yang Xiao was full of confidence in her eyes.

However, no matter how much Yang Xiao said, Luo Yao seemed to understand vaguely.

To the point that she now feels that even if she is asked to explain it to her parents, she probably won't be able to explain it clearly.

Then, Luo Yao pondered for a while and simply didn't bother to explain:
"Well, it's good anyway."

In Chen Li's eyes, this look seemed like Luo Yao was trying to cover up for Yang Xiao.

"Haha, Yaoyao, is Xiao Yang's company making money? I heard that some students open printing shops in their school dormitories, or do some errand-running work, and they can earn some living expenses, but this is not called starting a business, but it can be considered as working and studying."

Luo Yao found it more and more ridiculous. She put on a polite smile and did not explain too much.

Chen Li never took Yang Xiao seriously from the beginning to the end, or rather, she never showed any respect to him. Luo Yao could naturally feel it.

Besides, Luo Yao felt that even if she explained it to Chen Li, she probably wouldn't be willing to believe it. So why bother?

Luo Yao had seen some analysis posts about Yang Xiao on an online forum.

"How much money can Mr. Time make from a song?"

"How strong is the money-making ability of artists under Shiguang Culture Media?"

Anyway, the amount ranges from a few million to tens of millions.

If she told Chen Li the online version, would she believe it? So she didn't bother to explain.

Luo Zhengbin spoke up at this time and said, "It would be good if Xiao Yang could work and study at school. Being down-to-earth is better than anything else."

Chen Li's husband Yu Hai also agreed with this statement and nodded:

"Yes, nowadays there are not many college students willing to lower their dignity and do part-time jobs to earn money. Some even feel ashamed. I don't understand why there is shame in making money. When we were struggling in Shenzhen, we started out as hard laborers delivering goods everywhere, and in the end we were so proud to have a van to drive that could protect us from the wind and rain. I really miss that fulfilling time."

When Chen Li heard Yu Hai say this, she immediately looked displeased and glared at him fiercely.

She was trying to find her future daughter-in-law, so why was her husband so ungrateful? She was so angry that she stepped on Yu Hai under the table.

"Oh, these are just minor things. After graduating from college, you still have to find a job."

Chen Li changed the subject and suddenly thought of what Yang Xiao had mentioned before about spending money, and said with ill intentions,
"By the way, Yaoyao, Xiao Yang mentioned it earlier. Are you still spending money on him? Don't blame Aunt Chen for being nosy. How can a boy let a girl spend money on him? How can you be so stingy?
I have seen everything about your Aunt Chen. Some things will happen again once, so don't be fooled. We must be more careful in the future."

Luo Yao frowned and defended Yang Xiao:
"No, Yang Xiao is also willing to spend money on me and even gave me a bank card."

Liu Xiaolan didn't care much about this matter. She waved her hand and said generously:

"We are all children. What's the problem with spending some money on each other? My daughter is not the kind of person who is vain and covets other people's things."

Liu Xiaolan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but even though Chen Li heard the hidden meaning, she didn't care. She said something meaningful again:
"Yes, yes, your family has good education. They have brought up our Yaoyao well. She is well-educated and well-mannered. I like her, too. However, if you don't want her, she might want you. For example, if you only have one daughter in your family, there are many people who have ulterior motives and are eager to make the whole family extinct these days."

The last sentence was so serious and exaggerated that Liu Xiaolan and her husband frowned when they heard it.

Liu Xiaolan said, "You are really crazy. You said these things in front of the children? How can a child of this age understand these things? Stop talking, let's go out for a walk."

"Of course, I'm not talking about Xiao Yang, I'm referring to the phenomenon in society!"

Seeing this, Chen Li realized that she had gone too far, so she added:
"Okay, okay, I won't say much. Come on, Yaoyao, Auntie Chen will take you to the mall and pay for everything."

After being interrupted, the bank card that Luo Yao had just mentioned was ignored by the adults.

In their eyes, this was just a trick used by Yang Xiao to please Luo Yao.

How much money can Kari have?

A few thousand dollars is considered too much.

In the name of giving the money to the girls for safekeeping? And then the girls pay the bill?
Although Chen Li spoke viciously, seeing Liu Xiaolan defending Yang Xiao so much, she didn't want to expose his last fig leaf.

Having said that, he called the waiter, stood up and went to the bar to pay the bill.

After a while, Chen Li came over with a smile.

"I'm telling you guys, really, why did you pay the bill secretly? This is my place, I'm the host!"

Liu Xiaolan and Luo Zhengbin looked at each other again with questioning eyes, and then said:

"Pay the bill? We didn't pay... No way, did Yang Xiao pay for it before he left?"

"Let's go to the front desk and ask."

After they packed up, they walked out of the private room and hurried to the cashier to confirm.

"Beauty, who paid for our private room?"

The cashier at the front desk was a woman in her early thirties with blond hair tied up in a bun. She sounded like a boss lady and said with a smile:
"Don't you know? It was a very young and handsome guy. He paid the bill and left."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and said nothing more.

After leaving the restaurant, Luo Zhengbin sighed:

"Ah, this Xiao Yang, I don't know how to describe him."

"It's normal for a little boy to be a little bit proud. After all, this is the first time we meet officially, so he might still be a little reserved."

Liu Xiaolan smiled and explained, "This meal is not cheap, more than a thousand. I will ask Luo Yao to give him the money when the time comes."

Chen Li also joked: "Xiao Yang is quite knowledgeable about the ways of the world, but he used it in the wrong place. Why does he have to pretend to be rich in front of us? It seems that he needs to hone his skills~" Yu Hai interrupted and said: "Haha, this young man can be regarded as a responsible person who dares to make sacrifices."

Luo Zhengbin also smiled helplessly: "Yes, in other words, Xiao Yang is quite honest!"

A few people laughed at Yang Xiao's foolish behavior and stopped worrying about it.

But anyway, these words are not bad reviews.

In fact, in Yang Xiao's eyes.

It would be impolite not to bring some Maozi and Huazi to your future father-in-law when they meet for the first time.

It's just paying the bill. He usually takes his two adopted sons out to eat and drink, so isn't there enough time for him to pay the bill?
He is used to swiping the card!

This time, Yang Xiao paid the bill just as he usually did, without thinking too much about it!

It was not until they had left the restaurant and got in a taxi not far away that Yang Xiao realized that it was indeed inappropriate for him to pay the bill this time, which might cause misunderstandings about him.

But he was too lazy to care too much.

The card has already been swiped, so let everyone use their imagination to imagine it.

Today Chen Li's BMW was parked at home and not driven out.

Instead, Yu Hai drove a Land Rover, which was not crowded with the five of them, and they drove to a large shopping mall.

Luo Zhengbin and Yu Hai were naturally not interested in the shopping sprees of the women. After sending Liu Xiaolan and the other two to their destination, they went to a teahouse to chat and rest.

After Chen Li got off the car, she warmly embraced Luo Yao's arm, as if they were mother and daughter:

"This mall has only been open for less than a month, and there are many brands. Let's go shopping. Yaoyao, if you like anything, I'll pay for it."

"No, thank you Aunt Chen, I don't need anything."

Luo Yao was a little unimpressed by Chen Li's enthusiastic attitude and declined.

She felt a little speechless inside, because she and Yang Xiao were strolling here after coming out of school in the morning.

Now when she visits again, she naturally doesn't have much interest in it.

The mall has five floors in total.

The fourth and fifth floors are mostly restaurants, the first floor is mostly electronic products, and the second and third floors are women's favorite clothing, bags, pendants and accessories, etc.

After Chen Li and Liu Xiaolan finished their meal, they were full of energy. They strolled around and stopped along the way, feeling quite excited.

"There's a Cartier over there, let's go check it out."

"Well, let's see if there is anything suitable. I have been wearing this one for two years and I want to change it."

"It's a good opportunity for Yaoyao to choose one too."

"No, she doesn't have to wear something so expensive for now."

"Don't worry about it. I'll pay for it today."

In the Cartier watch store, Chen Li and Liu Xiaolan were pushing and shoving each other.

At this time, Chen Li insisted on forcing Luo Yao to enter the store and choose a watch and she would pay for it.

But a cheap watch could easily cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. How could Liu Xiaolan easily accept this favor?

It was only because she pretended to be angry that Chen Li had to give up.

However, Liu Xiaolan did choose a watch she liked. She took it out of the display cabinet and looked at it carefully. After trying it on, she was about to pay for it. Seeing this, Luo Yao, who was standing outside the door, walked in quickly.

"Mom, do you want to buy it?"

The shopping guide next to Liu Xiaolan looked at Luo Yao with some surprise.

"Well, just buy one. If you like it, I'll buy you one when you graduate."

Chen Li smiled and said, "Why wait until Yaoyao graduates? Choose now, Aunt Chen will give you one today."

"No, no, mom, if you want to buy it, well... I... am a member here, and the points on the membership card can be used to deduct some money."

Luo Yao answered hesitantly, holding the bag of clothes they had bought earlier.

"Member? When did you become a member here?"

Luo Yao said helplessly: "Uh... just this morning, with Yang Xiao."

Before Liu Xiaolan could continue to ask, the salesgirl beside her also noticed something and explained:
"This beautiful lady and her husband just bought two 'Blue Balloon' watches in our store this morning. They have become our Cartier VIP members. After spending, they will have points, which can be used to deduct the points for their next purchase."

After saying this, Luo Yao's face was full of helplessness.

In the morning, Yang Xiao picked her up from school, and they made a sudden plan to go shopping in the mall to kill time while waiting for dinner.

Then she bought Yang Xiao an autumn long-sleeved T-shirt, shorts, and so on.

The latter was excited and took her to the Cartier store and bought a "Blue Balloon" for couples.

Although Luo Yao was determined not to accept it, she could not resist Yang Xiao's constant persuasion. He said that Yang Xiao had never given her a decent gift, and she finally accepted it with pleasure.

Even the membership card information was registered in Luo Yao's name.

If she hadn't seen that Liu Xiaolan was going to pay the bill at this moment and was about to spend more money, she would not have planned to say it.

Just now, Luo Yao was afraid that the waiter would recognize her, so as to avoid embarrassment, she stayed outside the door.

Liu Xiaolan and Chen Li were still confused.

The two watches in this "Blue Balloon" series cost over 100,000 yuan in total.

Neither of them was willing to spend their own money to buy it, so why did Luo Yao buy it first?

Liu Xiaolan had already reached the stage of paying the bill, but she forced herself to remain calm and did not ask any questions in front of outsiders.

He just nodded and used Luo Yao's membership card points to save about a thousand yuan.

Although she got a bargain, Liu Xiaolan did not seem very happy.

After leaving the store, she couldn't help but ask her daughter:

"Where did you buy it? Take it out and show it to me."

Hearing this, Luo Yao reluctantly took out an exquisite little gift box from her handbag.

After opening it, it turned out to be the women's Cartier Blue Balloon.

The blue pointer on the round dial jumps with the time, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Luo Yao had originally planned to keep it as a treasure and wear it occasionally, but she didn't expect the plan to fall through.

Liu Xiaolan let out a long breath and asked, "Did you come here with Yang Xiao this morning?"

"Um…"

"He paid for it?"

"Um…"

Chen Li was silent for a while, and at this moment she couldn't help but look at Liu Xiaolan and said leisurely:

"My goodness, what kind of business did this Xiao Yang start? Or did your information, Xiaolan, get it wrong? His family doesn't sell mobile phones? They produce them, right?"

Liu Xiaolan didn't dwell on this question. Suddenly she remembered something and continued to ask Luo Yao:
"By the way, you said earlier that Yang Xiao gave you a bank card? How much money is in the card?"

"I don't know either." Luo Yao shook her head slightly.

Liu Xiaolan knew her daughter's character very well and had no doubts about it.

"Let's go find an ATM and check it. Do you know the password?"

"Yeah, my birthday."

The three of them carried large and small bags and came to an ATM machine next to the shopping mall.

Luo Yao was so nervous at first that she entered the wrong password.

Before Chen Li could raise any questions, the numbers that appeared on the screen after she entered the password correctly for the second time almost blinded her eyes.

Even Liu Xiaolan and the person involved, Luo Yao, were extremely surprised when they saw the numbers on the ATM.

"1200000.00"

　Some people like it, while others don't.

　　But there is no way, urban literature has to involve some of this.

　　Some people say it is old-fashioned, but this is the limit of the author's writing skills.

　　I can only say sorry to those friends who don't like the book, and I hope you will understand.
