Chapter 403 Two Years Later, Financial Crisis, Ode to Joy Community
Two years later!
Located on the [-]th floor of a high-end commercial building in Xujiahui, there is an office area of ​​several hundred square meters.

This is the office of a company called Chenxing Finance.

Chenxing Finance was naturally established by Zhou Chen. He has been in school for two years now, and he started to work by himself when he was a freshman.

However, at that time, funds were limited, and only the red envelopes given by parents during the New Year and holidays, plus my usual savings, were less than 20,000 yuan.

Relying on the capital of less than 20,000 yuan, Zhou Chen started investing in the stock market.

After a few worlds, Zhou Chen has long been familiar with the stock market. He started to pay attention to the stock market very early. After he got to university, he started to speculate in stocks.

But at the beginning, luck was not very good. In the first month, the capital of less than [-] yuan was lost a lot, and in the second month, it began to improve steadily.

The stock market is very profitable, but only a very small number of people can make money.

And for people with small capital like Zhou Chen, it is okay to make a little money, but it is almost impossible to make a lot of money unless there is a huge opportunity.

But Zhou Chen is not in a hurry, he is still waiting for the opportunity, because he knows that since 07, a financial crisis sweeping the world will slowly unfold.

From that time on, it was the beginning of his frantic accumulation of money from the stock market.

In the past two years, Zhou Chen has made a lot of money from the financial crisis, mainly because his original capital is relatively small, but even so, in the second half of this year, his net worth exceeded [-] million.

After turning eighteen, Zhou Chen established Chenxing Finance and rented the current area.

This large-scale financial crisis has not yet ended. Chenxing Finance, which he established, mainly deals with stock market securities, investment and so on.

Today, Chenxing Finance has dozens of employees, but most of them are tool people, doing things according to Zhou Chen's instructions, and looking for investment opportunities.

"Boss, according to your instructions, the network has been closed, and the total profit this time is 7 million."

Wang Bing stood in front of the desk with a very respectful attitude.

Wang Bing, who has been engaged in the financial industry for more than ten years, has been completely overwhelmed by Zhou Chen's ability since he was hired by Zhou Chen with a high salary.

If there is a genius in this world, he thinks it must be his genius boss.

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Chen is still just a child at this age, but Zhou Chen has already earned unimaginable wealth by relying on his own ability.

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I see, everyone has worked hard during this time, please notify the financial department, and each person will receive a bonus of [-] yuan. Except for necessary personnel, everyone else can rest for a few days."

"Thank you boss."

Wang Bing responded happily.

Although Chenxing Finance has only been established for half a year, its profits are absolutely astonishing. The salary Zhou Chen pays is also high, and bonuses are given out from time to time, so it is very popular.

"For the next period of time, you can help me watch the company. I have other things to do during this period."

The financial crisis has come to an end, Zhou Chen is no longer ready to continue to squeeze wool, but is ready to start other industries.

After leaving the company, Zhou Chen was about to go back to school when he suddenly received a call from his mother, Sun Yi.

"Mom, why are you calling me at this hour?"

During the two years he was studying in Shanghai, Sun Yi called him every other day, but basically at night, and rarely called him during the day.

"Xiaochen, your dad and I have arrived in Shanghai, and we will be at your school soon, and we will have lunch together at noon."

"Mom, why did you and Dad suddenly come to Shanghai? Why didn't you inform me, so I can send a car to pick you up."

Zhou Chen was very surprised by the arrival of his parents. Although they had visited him in Shanghai before, most of them had greeted him in advance.

"Isn't this a surprise for you, and we went to Shanghai this time not only to see you, but also to do a very important thing."

Zhou Chen: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I'll do it for you. Then where are you now? I'll drive to take you."

"No need, we'll be at your school right away, just wait for us at the gate."

"Ok."

Zhou Chen waited at the school gate for 10 minutes, when he saw a taxi approaching, his parents got off the taxi and waved at him.

"Dad, mom."

Zhou Chen walked up to meet him quickly.

Seeing Zhou Chen approaching, Sun Yi immediately hugged him, then grabbed his shoulder and kept watching.

"My son has grown up and is getting more and more handsome, Xiaochen, are there any girls chasing you at school?"

Zhou Chen smiled wryly and said: "Mom, what are you thinking, the classmates in the class are basically two or three years older than me, they treat me very well, and there will be no one chasing me."

Sun Yi: "Not in the same class, you can find someone from a lower class. My son is so handsome and smart, let alone two or three years older, even if he is seven or eight years older, there will be people who will like him."

In her eyes, her son Zhou Chen is the most handsome in the world, and he can match any woman too well.

Zhou Guofu said: "Let's go, let's find a restaurant and sit down and talk slowly."

Zhou Chen: "Dad, I've already asked someone to book a seat, and a car will come to pick us up later, just wait a few minutes."

"Have you arranged a car yet? Where did you get the car?" Zhou Guofu asked in surprise.

Zhou Chen said: "Dad, I recently made some money and opened a small company. The car is allocated to the company."

"You made money by speculating in stocks?"

Zhou Guofu knew about Zhou Chen's stock trading, because when Zhou Chen came home from vacation, he often looked at stocks with his computer in his arms, and he often looked at stocks with him.

It's just that his money is under strict supervision, and he wants to speculate in stocks, but he doesn't have the funds.

"Well, almost."

No matter how Sun Yi made his money, when he heard that his son had made money to start a company, he was immediately proud: "My son is amazing, this time we will stay in Shanghai for two days, if you have time, take us to your company?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course there's no problem, but Mom and Dad, it's not a holiday, why are you here free? Are you planning to stay for two days?"

Sun Yi smiled mysteriously: "Of course there is something important, I'll tell you about it when we have dinner."

"Okay, then let's go to dinner first, and you will live in the house I rented at night. It is often cleaned by someone, and it is very clean."

Although he was in college, Zhou Chen himself rented a house next to the school, with two bedrooms and one living room. Even if his parents came, it would be enough to live there. When the Zhou family and his wife came over, they always lived there.

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove over and stopped in front of Zhou Chen and the others. The driver quickly opened the door and got out.

"boss."

"Dad, Mom, the car is here, let's get in the car first."

Zhou Chen pulled his parents into the car, and after getting into the car, Zhou Guofu couldn't help but asked, "Didn't you say you want to start a small company? Isn't this car cheap?"

"It's okay. Now that you start a company, what you want is face, and the car is also for looking good."

Sun Yi said happily: "Old Zhou, why are you asking so many questions? Our son is promising. We should be happy and ask all kinds of questions."

She really dotes on Zhou Chen. As a teacher, she knows very well that children cannot be doted on, but when she puts it on herself, she can't control it at all. She dotes on Zhou Chen very much.

That is to say, Zhou Chen is early-witted and has lived for many years. If he were an ordinary child, he would be spoiled in all likelihood.

"Xiaochen, your dad and I came to Shanghai this time. Besides seeing you, we have one more thing to do. We bought a house in Shanghai."

"what?"

Zhou Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at his parents in astonishment: "You guys bought a house in Shanghai? Why didn't you tell me about the situation? Do you have enough money?"

Sun Yi smiled and said, "Your dad and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and mortgaged our two houses, just enough to buy one in Shanghai."

They are a couple, one is a university professor and the other is a high school grade director. They both have high salaries and good benefits. They already have two houses.

These years, Zhou Chen's schooling is almost free, and he spends no money at all, so the family can save money.

The current housing prices in Shanghai are not low, but they are not prepared to buy the best location, so the two houses are mortgaged, and with the money in hand, it is just enough to buy a new house.

Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Mom, if you want to buy a house, just tell me, you don't need to mortgage the house in your hometown at all, I'll just buy you a house."

Zhou Guofu said: "Your mother and I are not old yet. You don't need to spend money to buy us a house. You use the money you earn yourself. The two of us can't spend much money on food and drink. Your mother just wants to be able to live well after retirement." I will be with you when you arrive in Shanghai, that’s why we bought a house in Shanghai.”

Zhou Chen touched his mother's hand: "Mom, you are so kind to me, I don't even know how to repay you."

Sun Yi said: "What do you want in return? As long as you are happy, we will be happy. After dinner, we will take you there to have a look, but the house is off-plan, and we can't see the house yet."

"Mom, where did you buy it? What's the name of the neighborhood?"

"It seems to be called Ode to Joy. We thought the name sounded good and the location was good, so we made a decision."

"Ode to Joy?"

Zhou Chen was shocked again.

Could it be such a coincidence, could it be the Ode to Joy community in the Ode to Joy TV series?
"Okay, then let's go and have a look after dinner."

After the meal, Zhou Chen asked the driver to take them to Ode to Joy community. After arriving, he found that the building had just started to be built here, and it was estimated that it would take a year or two before it was completed.

But after looking at the location and the name of the community, Zhou Chen can already confirm that this should be the Ode to Joy community where the plot of Ode to Joy begins.

What surprised Zhou Chen even more was that his parents bought the 21st floor, but they didn't know if it was the building where Ode to Joy Wumei lived.

Knowing that his parents bought Ode to Joy, Zhou Chen didn't think about returning it anymore. Anyway, he would definitely get in touch with Ode to Joy Wumei and the others in the future. It's not bad to have this house.

Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi lived in Shanghai for three days. During these three days, Zhou Chen took them shopping in various places in Shanghai, bought them a lot of things, and finally ordered the driver to take them back.

They originally wanted to refuse, but Zhou Chen's attitude was also very firm. In the end, the couple could only happily accept their son's kindness and let the driver take them back.

It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Chen was about to go back a few days before the new year, but suddenly received a call from Dean Xie of the orphanage, so he decided to go to Daishan before going home.

Since he was an adult, Zhou Chen had a driver's license, so when he left Shanghai, he drove by himself. After driving for nearly four hours, he arrived in Daishan County.

"Auntie Dean."

As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the orphanage, he saw the dean Xie Yajing waiting at the door, so he walked over quickly.

Xie Yajing grabbed Zhou Chen's hand, with tears in her eyes, she said happily, "Xiao Chen has grown taller and more handsome."

Xie Yajing never got married in her whole life, and dedicated herself to the orphanage. Although Zhou Chen didn't get along with her for a long time, deep down in his heart, he regarded Zhou Chen as his own child.

"Auntie Dean, it's cold outside, let's go in first."

"well."

Xie Yajing grabbed Zhou Chen's hand, unwilling to let go for a moment.

The two walked into the orphanage, and Zhou Chen saw many children playing with the snow in the yard. Seeing them playing around made him think of his life in the orphanage involuntarily.

After Zhou Chen passed the college entrance examination, he once came to the orphanage.

At that time, the orphanage was in decline, and the financial expenditure was obviously insufficient. Government subsidies and donations from the public alone could not support the orphanage to continue.

In the end, it was Xie Yajing who sold her house and paid it to the orphanage, so that the orphanage could survive.

After Zhou Chen found out about the situation, he borrowed 100,000 yuan from his parents and gave it to Xie Yajing.

Because what Xie Yajing said at that time really moved him.

She said that she has lived for the children in the orphanage all her life. If the orphanage is gone, she doesn't know what else she can do in the future. These children are the driving force for her to live, so she wants to stay here.

Zhou Chen naturally couldn't bear to be disappointed by the first person who cared about him, so he borrowed money to help the orphanage.

Xie Yajing was unwilling to accept it at the time, but she was finally persuaded by Zhou Chen.

Later, Zhou Chen made money by himself, especially after making a lot of money, he took out a sum of money and donated it to the orphanage.

Xie Yajing only accepted the kindness after she learned that Zhou Chen was really promising.

Thanks to Zhou Chen's donation, the orphanage is still supported. Now there are more than 30 children in the orphanage, among which there are more than a dozen children with disabilities and problems. These children are very important to the orphanage. It is a great burden, and it is also the main reason for the huge expenditure of the orphanage.

"Auntie Dean, you said you want to tell me something about me, what is it?"

Zhou Chen asked curiously, Xie Yajing called him before and said that there was something very important and asked him to come over.

Xie Yajing said: "Xiaochen, do you remember when you were in the orphanage, did you have a sister?"

"I don't really remember, what's the matter, did she find it?"

Of course Zhou Chen knew his identity, but at this period, Andy should have not returned to China, right?

"No, a while ago, a man who seemed to be of high status found the orphanage. He asked us about your sister's whereabouts."

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "I really have a sister?"

Xie Yajing nodded: "Yes, that was not long after I took over the orphanage. You were sent to the orphanage with your sister, but later she was adopted by foreigners. Later, I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't tell you. After you, now that you are grown up, there are some things you should know."

"I suspect that the man who came to look for your sister may have something to do with your siblings, or even your relatives."

Zhou Chen has forgotten a lot about the plot of Ode to Joy, especially the situation at Andy's family. He can't remember it. He only remembers that the father of their siblings seems to have not passed away. As for more, he is not very clear.

But he didn't care about it, instead he said to Xie Yajing: "Auntie Dean, if possible, I hope you don't tell others about me, no matter what happened before, since you left me in the orphanage, then It’s like abandoning me; I’m doing fine now, I don’t want to be connected to the past, and I don’t want my current parents to worry about it.”

"Good boy."

Xie Yajing patted Zhou Chen's hand and said: "I understand your thoughts, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about your situation, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Sun are good people, they have trained you so well, you You must be filial to them."

"I will, for me, in this world, they are my real parents."

Zhou Chen's expression was very serious. He might investigate Yuan Shen's life experience in the future, but even if he knew everything, he would not change his mind.

In his heart, Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi are his parents in this world, let alone the others.

"Auntie Dean, is the orphanage okay now?"

Speaking of the orphanage, Xie Yajing's face was full of smiles.

"Very good, your method is very good. Allowing older children to do handicrafts can not only make money to subsidize the home, but also give them something to do; coupled with government subsidies and social donations, the welfare home can still be maintained of."

It is very difficult for the welfare home to survive in this day and age relying solely on subsidies and charity donations, so in addition to donating money, Zhou Chen also invested in a small factory in Daishan, specializing in manual work.

There are some older children in the orphanage who cannot survive in society due to their health or various reasons, so Zhou Chen entrusts them with manual work.

This will not only allow them to make money and support themselves, but also make them less empty and have the courage to live, killing two birds with one stone.

So far, it seems to be effective.
