Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1010: An Unexpected Visitor

No wonder Zhang Guoqing spoke this way. Just a few days ago, he saw her staring blankly at a pile of colorful foreign currency, and when she asked about the history of the United States stock market.

Zhang Guoqing guessed it was more or less right; his wife was already eager to move.

Zhou Jiao didn’t deny it, she did have this idea. The two properties from her grandfather’s inheritance had already been handled by her dad’s lawyer friend for several years.

In these years, she hasn’t gone abroad, and the income she received along with the foreign currency she held can’t just sit idle; she originally planned to communicate with the other party on this occasion and then invest in the foreign market.

She doesn’t need to discuss extra words with the other party, as long as they patiently handle it according to her plan, future foreign assets will also count as the foundation for her three sons.

After listening to her plan, Zhang Guoqing immediately raised his head and smiled secretly behind her. Luckily, it couldn’t be carried out. He wasn’t worried about entrusting it to outsiders, or moving assets away or anything. Not to mention the life-and-death friendship the lawyer has with his father-in-law, couldn’t they still sign a contract?

Now that he knows Zhou Jiao’s secret plan, he has a clue. If according to his wife’s operation — with this inheritance from abroad in the future, their family would have a large operational space, and even the funds at home would have a clear source.

The best part is, as long as his three sons don’t do anything shocking, the remaining assets can serve as a trump card for them. If things go smoothly, it could benefit the children and grandchildren for three generations.

If Zhang Guoqing intended to first seek his father-in-law’s opinion before she spoke, considering these assets are legitimately his.

Now, he is one hundred percent in favor of his wife not going out as much as possible. He’s pondering whether his father-in-law also played a part in her not being able to travel.

Shifting his eyes, Zhang Guoqing asked quietly, "Did you discuss your plan with Dad?"

"No, I haven’t even discussed it with you yet. But Dad already said, play as you like; if it’s gone, it’s gone, just be careful."

——Uh, this is indeed typical of her father, Zhou Xiaozheng!

Zhang Guoqing speechlessly wanted to go downstairs and punch his father-in-law a few times. You keep pampering your daughter until she’s nearly airborne; how can a husband like him show any love in front of his wife?!

He reluctantly tightened his grip on Zhou Jiao’s arm, "Luckily, you didn’t go out this time. I reckon even if you had gone, there’d be people around keeping an eye on each other. It’s not worth taking risks for things outside oneself."

Just the other day, wasn’t he the one telling her to go out and not worry since he was there to hold the fort? Zhou Jiao smiled at his rare flip-flop.

She couldn’t bear to see him worry about her, "Relax, even if there’s really a business trip, you know I’m timid. Hehe... I’m just planning ahead, there’s no way I’d really sacrifice the big for the small."

"Is this how you talked Dad into agreeing?"

"Who said that!" Zhou Jiao nervously drew circles on his chest, "Is there anything you want? Next time let Da Yong bring it back for you."

"Isn’t this my line?"

Zhou Jiao squinted at him, "Do you have a salary?"

Oh, Zhang Guoqing really forgot about that. Look, almost allowing even household funds to benefit foreigners, yet claiming he never thought about a business trip.

With the mood right into the night, knowing she wouldn’t say anything worrying and difficult, Zhang Guoqing could only give up. He secretly planned to have a drink with two friends at her workplace soon.

The lovey-dovey couple, knowing the facts are already present, can’t help but exchange a few words. As May 1st would say, how boring are you?

The next morning, before Zhang Guoqing could go outside to inquire, his close friend Wan Dayong had already given him a heads-up before setting off.

He heard that for a spot at Zhou Jiao’s workplace, several people nearly tore each other apart, but Zhou Jiao stepped back, and unexpected to her, no one could go.

Upon hearing, Zhang Guoqing smirked. His wife stepped back a bit? With her narrow-mindedness, not going herself means even those troublemakers can’t?

Still, his wife suffered grievances!

Zhang Guoqing specifically asked Wan Dayong to bring back some rare gifts to comfort his wife’s hurt feelings. He just didn’t understand why there are such foolish people who enjoy picking on his wife. Are they living too leisurely or what?

Once the phone was hung up, May 1st tightly scrunched his little face and asked quietly, "Who bullied my mom? Do they want little master here to deal with them!"

Zhang Guoqing was indeed fuming, hearing his son speak this way amused him. He ruffled his son’s hair, leaning in to whisper, "Quietly work in the village, you understand?"

May 1st glanced around at the family in the living room and nodded slightly, "Dad, if you need help, find me; I have plenty of buddies."

"Alright, your dad can still protect your mom." Zhang Guoqing exasperatingly glanced at his son’s height, "But don’t let your mom find out."

May 1st raised his clenched fist, "Father-son duo, just don’t deceive me."

"Does your mom know you’re this violent?" Zhang Guoqing grabbed his youngest son and walked out.

"In front of my mom, I’m obedient and aware. At home, I’m still a little treasure."

Zhang Guoqing: "..." Son, is this good? We should be sincere people!

The sincere person didn’t wait until the weekend to investigate when his little wife was bullied, but he heard his pal Shen Zhao had come to find him.

In a reception room in the General Office, when Zhang Guoqing arrived, he saw Shen Zhao looking around, laughed and said, "What’s so nice about this, not working and finding me?"

"Resting."

Zhang Guoqing saw him looking left and right, knowing he wouldn’t visit for no reason, he led him out of the unit seeing the people coming and going perhaps hindered his words.

"Won’t interrupt your work?"

"A three o’clock meeting is all." Zhang Guoqing nonchalantly smiled, "Want to come sit at my house?"

Shen Zhao shook his head, pointed at the road beside them, "I’ll just say a few words, wait until Shaolin and the rest return to Beijing, then we’ll gather."

Zhang Guoqing followed him along the sidewalk, asking, "Brother Wu hasn’t returned for a while, do you plan on staying in Beijing this time?"

"Not sure specifically, but seems uncertain. Heard the old man urged him to work well in the forces below, his brother is nearby, unlikely he’ll move to Beijing."

Zhang Guoqing casually said, "The old general is our generation’s role model."

Shen Zhao nodded in agreement. He wasn’t here to discuss his uncle-in-law’s matters, realizing the importance of business matters, he slowed his pace and glanced at him.

Zhang Guoqing showed confusion, looking at him inquiringly, "What’s up? This isn’t like you; just say it. We’re pals, I’ll help as much as possible without backing down."

"Alright! Xiao Wu, we’ve known each other for a while. I like to be straightforward. I’m going to ask you something, so you must tell the truth."
