504: Is this something a college student would do?
"Hello."
After Ye Su and his two siblings greeted Zhang Xuantong warmly, Wu Lianfang looked at Ye Su kindly:
"It was you who saved me yesterday morning, right? I finally have the chance to thank you in person."
After speaking, Wu Lianfang bowed slightly towards Ye Su.
Ye Su reacted quickly, sidestepping when Wu Lianfang bowed:
"Auntie, please don't be so polite. That was just a small effort on my part."
"That was no mere small effort." After standing up, Wu Lianfang insisted:
"I am already very grateful just for the fact that you were willing to step forward without hesitation at that time, not to mention how hard you worked to carry me down from the mountain.
If it weren't for you back then, my daughter and I wouldn't have known what to do."
Ye Su knew he wasn't that noble; yesterday was purely driven by the intelligence prompt, which was why he tried so hard to save her.
Now, being constantly praised by Wu Lianfang, Ye Su felt a bit embarrassed and could only change the subject:
"Auntie, you're being discharged today; your body should be fine now, right?"
"Thanks to you sending me to the hospital in time yesterday, I'm much better after treatment." Wu Lianfang smiled:
"It's just that at my age, I get flustered at the thought of surgery, so I can only adopt conservative treatment, pay attention to rest, and go to the hospital for regular follow-ups.
After some time, Xuantong will accompany me to the capital again to let experts do a comprehensive examination and then formulate a detailed treatment plan."
"Since the hospital says it's fine, if you follow the doctor's instructions for recovery, your body will definitely get better slowly."
"Haha." Wu Lianfang smiled kindly: "I'll take your word for it."
With both sides formally introduced, Zhang Fengmao greeted everyone:
"Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay."
Led by Zhang Fengmao, the two families entered the villa.
Upon entering, the five people from Ye Su's side were startled by the luxurious interior decoration.
Just the crystal chandelier in the middle of the living room ceiling, which was five or six meters high and had a diameter of over two meters, Ye Su estimated it wouldn't cost less than six figures.
In terms of interior luxury alone, Zhang Fengmao's villa was even better than the two villas of Li Mengyao and Yan Ran.
Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously, Ye Su and his group were led by Zhang Fengmao to be seated in the living room.
The living room, which was wider than someone else's entire house, was furnished with a large combination sofa set consisting of one five-seater and two three-seaters.
The eight people from Ye Jianguo's and Zhang Fengmao's families didn't feel crowded at all sitting there.
After guests arrived at home and tea was served, and after some polite exchanges, Zhang Fengmao asked casually:
"I still don't know what kind of business your family does here?"
Ye Jianguo smiled reservedly: "I just run a garment factory with a few dozen people here; it's not much of a business."
"How can a garment factory with dozens of people not count as a business? Shenli Group looks glorious now, but didn't it also start from a small factory with less than ten people?"
After a polite remark, Zhang Fengmao turned to Ye Su and the others: "What about you three siblings? Where do you all work?"
"I run an online clothing store myself."
Ye Ruo scratched her head and smiled honestly: "I work at Shenli Group."
"Oh!" Zhang Fengmao said with curiosity: "What a coincidence, it seems our two families are quite fated."
Su Wan was a housewife, and the businesses and jobs of the three Ye Jianguo family members were nothing special.
This also made Zhang Fengmao certain that the reason Ye Su's family had material conditions far exceeding that of an ordinary family lay entirely with Ye Su.
But Ye Su's next sentence greatly surprised Zhang Fengmao:
"I'm still in college. I'm on summer vacation for my junior year during this period, so I can just come home and stay for a while."
"You're still a college student?"
Facing Zhang Fengmao's surprise, Ye Su joked:
"I do look a bit old for my age, but I really am a college student, and I didn't repeat any grades while studying."
Wu Lianfang smiled and took over the conversation: "You look about the same age as Xuantong, and you're even more handsome than those stars on TV. How do you look old?"
Zhang Xuantong blinked her big eyes and pouted at her mother with dissatisfaction:
"He's on summer vacation for his junior year, and I'm on summer vacation for my freshman year. Obviously, I'm younger, okay? What do you mean 'about the same age as me'!"
Wu Lianfang helplessly tugged at Zhang Xuantong's ear: "So rude."
"Ouch!"
Being tugged by her ear in front of Ye Su's family, Zhang Xuantong was so angry that she bared her teeth and struggled to break free from Wu Lianfang's clutches.
"Haha—"
The interaction between Zhang Xuantong and Wu Lianfang also made everyone present laugh.
Knowing what Zhang Fengmao was surprised about just now, after a chuckle, Ye Su took the initiative to explain:
"However, I also do some small businesses there when I have free time."
"Oh?" Zhang Fengmao, who had just thought he guessed wrong, suddenly became interested: "You started learning to do business before even graduating? This is much better than Xuantong."
"Hey!" Just having her ear tugged by her mother and now being teased by her father, Zhang Xuantong's dissatisfaction almost broke through the sky: "If you want to talk about things, talk about things. Why are you bringing me into it again!"
Zhang Fengmao ignored Zhang Xuantong's complaint and asked Ye Su:
"I wonder what kind of business you've done over in Yangcheng?"
"It's nothing big, just opening a Secondhand Shop for acquisition and sales."
"There's also a studio for small games, and then a company related to self-media, where I've signed a few streamers and am preparing to do internet traffic IP."
"On Pingqing Street, I invested in a time-honored medicine company. If you need any herbs that are hard to find, I can contact the company to see if I can find out about them."
"Then there's establishing a restaurant chain brand, preparing to start with a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant. The first flagship store at Joyful Gathering in Yangcheng will open in a few days."
"Additionally, I'm investing in some short dramas, and in my spare time, I do some antique trading business. I'm also collaborating on a jewelry project with Poyun Group, which will be unveiled after participating in the Shenzhen Jewelry Exhibition in September."
Ye Su listed so many businesses one after another, and not only Wu Lianfang and her daughter but even Zhang Fengmao showed surprised eyes.
Self-media, game studios, and Secondhand Shops were fine; some college students would indeed try to start businesses in these fields.
However, fields like jewelry and antiques were not something a college student without a background could handle.
Investing in a time-honored medicine company on Pingqing Street had even less to do with college student entrepreneurship.
If it were another college student, unless he had connections at home or possessed substantial assets, Zhang Fengmao would have doubted whether the other party was bragging about doing so many types of business during college.
But these words came from Ye Su's mouth, and Zhang Fengmao subconsciously felt that there was no element of boasting in it.
Besides having an extremely good impression of Ye Su after two brief contacts, it was also because Zhang Fengmao felt that only by being involved in so many industries could Ye Su, a college student, have the ability to support his current material living conditions.
