"Selling drinks without a clear market positioning, making cars while lacking core technology, the main issue is not understanding the industry, paid a lot of tuition fees, and then there was no ’then’." Zhuang Kaicheng also laughed, "The side business was a complete ss, and in the main business, all Shi Jinrong is good at is being quick to act, being great at sales, and most skilled at price wars and promotions. Even after slashing prices, he can slash it even more; after reaching the floor price, there cos the hell price. Buying a house isn’t like buying a drink. Over ti, how many owners could tolerate this? Wouldn’t the banners be strung up one after another?"
Xie Baosheng said, "Many people around say that Uncle Shi’s actions are a bit like a gluttonous snake, but fate is like a raccoon, because only cats have nine lives, and under him, the Shi family has been sent to the ergency room multiple tis. Every ti you think it’s about to die, it bounces back again, so much so that it stubbornly survives to this day."
Zhuang Kaicheng scornfully said, "What raccoon? He’s just skilled at being reborn, having a good father. Whenever there’s a problem, his good father cos out to clean up his ss, just like he cleans up after his son!"
Then, he couldn’t help but say, "And now, the old man is old, can’t keep up with the tis, how could he possibly hold down successive generations of sons and grandsons failing one after the other?!"
Zhuang Yijing finished her work, ca over to sit down, saw her younger siblings drinking milk tea, and asked, "How co you didn’t bring us sothing to eat?"
Zhuang Siqi said, "You don’t like drinking milk tea, right? You only drink bitter coffee?"
Zhuang Jianxian said, "We don’t drink coffee, so there’s none for you."
"Feeling a little hungry?! How about we go eat now?" Zhuang Kaicheng glanced at the large gold watch on his wrist, "I’ll treat you to a big al, Phoenix Bay!"
Zhuang Yijing thought for a mont, then said, "Let’s go."
...
The four mbers of the Zhuang family then got into Zhuang Boss’s Rolls-Royce.
The driver was steadily driving the car in the front.
In the back seat, Zhuang Siqi, who loved palace dramas, was pestering Zhuang Yijing, "Dad said before that you were classmates with Shi’s younger cousin, do you have any secrets of wealthy families to share with us?"
Zhuang Kaicheng curiously perked up his ears.
"The Crown Prince’s cousin..." Zhuang Yijing leaned her elegant jaw on her long, slender hand, "Is completely different from him. Because of so reasons with his parents, he was marginalized in the family from a young age, not valued, let alone spoiled. He attended public school for elentary and middle school and only got recruited into our school by De-Yin after being the top student in our city in the high school entrance exams."
"So Second Young Master Shi being able to attend a private elite high school had nothing to do with the family’s influence. He relied entirely on himself. At the ti, many in our school didn’t know his real identity for a long ti and thought he ca from an ordinary family."
Recalling the campus life at De-Yin, a smile couldn’t help but surface on Zhuang Yijing’s face.
"Wow! Second Young Master is amazing?" Zhuang Jianxian exclaid in amazent.
Zhuang Siqi, with stars in her eyes, "Oh my God, what a beautiful, strong, and tragic character setup?!"
She excitedly grabbed Zhuang Yijing’s arm and asked, "Sis, tell us, is he good-looking?!"
Zhuang Yijing’s smile deepened a few notches, "In the two years he attended our school, he was dubbed ’school grass’ and ’academic god’ for two consecutive years!"
"Wow!" The twins were shocked! "What an intriguing character setup?!"
The son and daughter were already crazy about Second Young Master Shi being a true Mary Sue.
anwhile, Old Zhuang managed to maintain so of his reason, "Why did Second Young Master stay at your school for only two years? What happened to him afterward?"
Zhuang Yijing pretended to be profound and said, "Due to Second Young Master’s great talent and his hard work and ambition, he won awards in many international competitions in his sophomore year and thus pre-applied and got admitted into Harvard. He then went on to complete his undergraduate at Harvard and his master’s at MIT in the United States, taking just over four years."
"anwhile, he started his entrepreneurial journey while at college in the United States, founded his own venture capital company, which is now very famous globally in the venture capital circle. A few years ago, it even acquired a rising capital company dostically; he has both intelligence and capability, truly unlike his foolish older cousin, you see, aside from lacking a bit of luck at birth, in every other way he’s the essence of a perfect protagonist!"
The Zhuang twins were both thrilled to bits about Second Young Master Shi being the quintessential perfect protagonist.
Old fox Zhuang Kaicheng, however, picked up on sothing subtle.
He looked at the foster daughter, saying, "Is it because that kid is too outstanding that in order not to outshine Shi Jinrong and his son, none of us in this circle have heard about such an excellent third generation in the Shi family?"
