The summer of 2000 finally came.

On the day of the graduation ceremony of the University of Finance and Economics, Zhou Dalin took his sister Zhou Xiaolin and brother-in-law Zhang Weidong to attend Cheng Xiao and their graduation ceremony.

The university in that era was different from when Zhou Dalin graduated from university.

When he graduated, there was no graduation ceremony. After the defense was over, he received his graduation certificate. At most, he would be a few brothers in the same dormitory, or a few classmates with good relationships, and everyone would get together, have a breakup wine, and then go their separate ways.

When we parted, we often bought some cooked side dishes from outside, and gathered together and held them in the dormitory.

Of course, the friendship between classmates was still very precious at that time. Everyone spoke freely, and some even shed tears. Most of them could get drunk, know when it would start and not when it would end.

Some people don’t even attend the breakup banquet, and no one knows when they leave.

Now that the graduation ceremony is available, the school leaders personally issue graduation certificates and bachelor's certificates. Before that, they have to give passionate speeches to encourage students to make achievements, bring glory to themselves and add color to their alma mater.

We also want to invite students and parents to come and watch the ceremony together.

Liu Lu's family is in the countryside, far from the provincial capital, and her family can't get through. She begged Zhou Dalin to be her parents and witness the glorious moment of her glorious graduation.

Cheng Xiao's father Cheng Jianguo did not come, but his mother Wu Ying came. Zhou Xiaolin no longer lives in the rented house. The large bedroom was empty, and Wu Ying just happened to live there.

Wu Ying came a day in advance. Cheng Xiao asked for the car keys from Zhou Xiaolin and drove to pick up his mother.

Zhou Dalin originally wanted to go with her, but Cheng Xiao refused.

"I'm already driving very well. If you follow me, my mother will doubt it." She said.

Zhou Dalin felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Don't you ever want your mother to know about us?" he asked her.

Cheng Xiaowei said for a long time: "At this time, don't talk about this first? I'll find a way to stay here first."

"What, are you still planning to go back to Linshui?" He was a little surprised.

"No." Cheng Xiao explained, "You don't know that my father is stubborn. He doesn't allow me to stay here, and I can't fight him."

"What can you fight against this?" Zhou Dalin said, "You graduated from college and are completely an adult. You have the right to decide your own destiny! You just don't go back, what can he do to you?"

Cheng Xiao lowered his head and said for a long time: "I have been afraid of him since I was a child. I have never dared to disobey what he did not allow me to do. I don't want to make him angry, I just tried my best to win him permission to stay in the provincial capital. Then, then I can think about our affairs."

Zhou Dalin sighed.

"Xiaoxiao, you must understand in your heart that when you go back, your life path will be different from then on. You will live a mediocre life, which is not something you can accept. As long as you stay, I promise that you will give you a different life."

"I know." Cheng Xiao whispered, "Aren't I trying my best to find a way? I'll coax my mother first, stand on my side, and then we, mother and daughter, will deal with that old stubborn together."

Zhou Dalin didn't say anything anymore.

On the night when Wu Ying came, Zhou Dalin was still entertaining her in the provincial capital hotel and drank some wine with her. At the same time, he reported to her about the great progress of Kuala Lu, the expanded service projects in the past year, as well as the Kuala Lu education training camp invented by herself, Liu Lu and Zhou Qi.

Wu Ying is very interested in this educational training camp.

As a middle school teacher, she has a deep understanding. These half-aged children know more about the truth than adults. Their only disadvantage is that their psychological quality is still in its infancy and cannot control themselves at all. In some aspects, they need violence to help them grow and exercise their tough psychological quality to achieve results.

In the past, middle school teachers dared to punish children physically or even beat them. Now, if there is such regulations and laws, they cannot do so, and they don’t even dare to stand.

The teachers are so hard-working that they have worn out their mouths and have little effect. How many smart children, because they can't control themselves, end up giving up. They could have been admitted to key high schools and become elites in national construction in the future, but they become ordinary people, and even use their intelligence to endanger society and waste so many talents for the country!

"I agree with your method!" she concluded. Then she asked him in a low voice, "Isn't it illegal for you to do this?"

Zhou Dalin smiled and said, "What law is it against? We all signed an agreement with parents. Of course, there will be no corporal punishment in the agreement, but we will hint them that how we manage our children must be their consent. We will record the conversation with parents in case of an accident."

"Are you playing the edge ball?" Wu Ying asked.

Zhou Dalin laughed and said, "Auntie, wealth and honor are in danger. If you don't have a good way to manage other people's children, how dare you ask for such expensive tuition? Of course, we also have a condition, just letting children suffer some flesh and blood, and temper their will, and we won't be too much. We won't charge any money for a truly stubborn child. Our method is much more civilized than those rich people who send their children to martial arts schools to suffer. Those closed martial arts schools are much crueler than us."

Just as he finished his meal and was about to walk back, Wu Ying secretly said to Zhou Dalin: "When the two girls go to bed, come to my house for a while, I have something to talk to you."

Zhou Dalin guessed that Wu Ying might have to show off with him.

Wu Ying is here, and tomorrow is the graduation ceremony. The two girls are particularly excited. They have been talking in the living room until eleven o'clock and don't want to sleep. Wu Ying said that she is tired and needs to rest, so they wash up and go back to the house to sleep.

Zhou Dalin listened in his small bedroom. Cheng Xiao and Liu Lu were silent in the room. It was almost twelve o'clock before they dared to come out quietly and knock on the door of Wu Ying's bedroom.

Before he knocked on the door, the door opened by itself. Wu Ying stood at the door and made a gesture to him, and he slipped in like a thief.

Fortunately, this is in my own home and others can't see it, otherwise I wouldn't know what to think of them.

Wu Ying sat on the edge of the bed, and Zhou Dalin sat on an old folding chair by the window, keeping a distance of about one meter.

They could not get too far away, for fear of loud voices, so they let the two girls listen to it.

The window is farther away from the door of the house, so that the voices of speech will not spread outside the house.

Wu Ying didn't talk nonsense and just went straight to the point.

"Xiaoxiao has told me about your affairs long ago. But you should also think about Xiaoxiao's father and I. We are just a daughter. If you stay in the provincial capital in the future, we will have no children around us."

Zhou Dalin replied to her: "The provincial capital is easier to develop than Linshui. For the future, we should stay in the provincial capital. Now the expressway can be directly from the provincial capital to Linshui. It is only two hours at most, which is quite convenient. If the aunt and uncle can come to the provincial capital, then of course it is better. I can buy a house, and other furniture decorations do not require the aunt and uncle to worry about it."

Wu Ying said again: "Your uncle and I haven't retired yet, and we can't bear to see our daughter for a long time. Look, can we do this? You are also buying a house in Linshui and getting closer to us. If you have time, you can also live in Linshui for a while."

Zhou Dalin thought about it and said: "No problem. If Linshui now has a duplex building or a small villa, I can buy a larger one, four or five hundred square meters, with more houses, and everyone can live together."

Wu Ying also thought about it and said: "The OCT built in Linshui has a single-family villa. I heard it costs more than one million."

Zhou Dalin said happily: "No problem. Auntie, you can go and have a look when you go back this time. If you have any favorites, tell me and I will buy it."

Wu Ying looked at him and asked, "You can buy it if you say you want to buy it for one million? How much money can you earn when you open such a small company?"

Zhou Dalin smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth, aunt. I opened this small company just for Cheng Xiao. In order to make her have a career in the provincial capital, she will not return to Linshui. I don't care much about the company's earnings and compensation."

Wu Ying opened her eyes to the maximum.

"Then what do you make money?" she asked.

Zhou Dalin answered her seriously: "I am engaged in financial investment. Real estate, enterprises, stock markets, bonds, I mainly do this."

"It takes a lot of money to do this, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Dalin replied, "Generally, there are assets worth about tens of millions, sometimes almost over 100 million."

Even though Wu Ying was prepared, the numbers Zhou Dalin said almost scared her from the edge of the bed.

"Then, you will also pay a lot of money, right?" she asked.

Zhou Dalin smiled again and said, "Of course. But I won't invest in a project. If I do this, of course I know how to control risks and don't put eggs in a basket. Moreover, some of the funds are invested in projects that are stable and profitable. Even if other projects with high risk are lost, I'm afraid I can't spend all my money in my hands in several lifetimes. Auntie, please don't worry."

After a while, Wu Yingcai returned to his calmness and asked, "Do Xiaoxiao know about these things?"

Zhou Dalin laughed again, and then said, "She definitely doesn't know. If she knew, she would be very excited in a small company like Kuala Le. Xiaoxiao is not a material girl. If she knew what I did and how much money she had, maybe she wouldn't be good to me. Auntie, don't tell her this.

When we are together in the future, I will tell her by myself. Now I will tell her, isn’t it time, right?"

Wu Ying sat there, not talking for a long time, and her brows were also furious.

After a while, Zhou Dalin said, "Auntie, are you worried that I will brag with you, are you?"

Wu Ying did not answer.
