Chapter 200: Cousin’s Father-In-Law (1/2)

For dinner at home, my dad and mom went to the kitchen and worked for a long time, cooking over a dozen dishes. Zhao YanYan naturally went to help them as well.

In the meantime, I was having a chat with my second uncle and cousin.

“Little Lei, how’s the family condition of your girlfriend?” As soon as second uncle saw Zhao YanYan wasn’t around, he immediately asked.

“It’s alright, a bit worse than my family condition.” What I said was naturally the truth. After all, there was a disparity between Zhao Junsheng and my conditions if we reasoned. I didn’t want to deceive my uncle, nor did I wanted to explain too much to him.

“Ah?!” Zhang Zhisong exclaimed and said with an exaggerated expression, “It’s worse compared to your family?! Cousin, how could you date someone like her? Let me tell you, your choice isn’t right and it might make you suffer for a lifetime, never advancing from this point. Although your family’s condition is a lot better now, don’t you want to reach higher heights in the future?”

“Exactly! Just look at Zhisong, his vision is so much better. Her girlfriend’s father is the vice-CEO of a big American Company. Getting together with her, not only did his future get on track, even money isn’t lacking now!” Second uncle said smugly, “You also need to find someone who could help you with your career! Listen to me and leave that gold-digger. How about we let Alice introduce you to her sister. Their father is the vice-CEO of a major company, and as soon as you graduate, you will directly become a white-collar executive. Just think about it, how many people would want that!”

“Exactly, cousin! Just look at me, your cousin, I am making nearly 500,000 dollars every year. Heh, how is it, not bad right? That’s not all. Alice Yang’s salary is even higher, and because she is the vice-CEO’s daughter, she even has some shares in the company.” Zhang Zhisong smiled exaggeratedly.

500,000 annually? Hehe, even my monthly salary in my past life was higher than this! However, that was in 2010, and now it was 1999. 500,000 dollars in yearly salary was very good at this time. It was enough to frighten an average person. But the point is, am I average?

When the food had been served, Alice Yang went to the study room to search the web, but immediately came back. Entering the dining hall, she started to complain, “What kind of a broken computer is this? It’s so slow. Cousin, how can your family use this type of ancient computer!”

The computer in the study room was the one given to me by Uncle Zhao for writing programs. It could be said that most of my first buckets of gold were earned through this computer. It had a great significance for me, making me unwilling to throw it away, so I put it in the study room. As for my bedroom, it had the latest notebook available for my use, so I never bought a new computer for the study room.

The configuration of this computer was still the 80486 CPU, 8 MB RAM, 810 MB Harddisk, and it barely ran Shuguang 95 OS. Now, Shuguang’s latest chips had already reached a frequency of 544 Hz, so it was obviously slow when Alice Yang used it.

“Oh, this computer. It was given to me by my father-in-law when I was in high school!” I said.

“Your father-in-law? What does he do? Why would he give you a computer?” Alice Yang asked.

“My father-in-law was the owner of a small computer company, and I used to develop software for him,” I said.

“No wonder he would give you a computer. But this computer is too low-level, even the worst computer in our company would be better than this!” Alice Yang said, “Big brother Song, I hadn’t thought your cousin was also in the same field as you and had special skills in the computer field!”

“Cousin, what important software could you create with this lousy computer. Look at me, your cousin, I am already a senior software programmer in a multinational company with excellent future prospects. Your father-in-law could only fiddle with some software in his small company! Right, just now, uncle also said you have a lot of ability in this aspect. How about making Alice introduce you to the daughter of one of our company’s executive. When the time comes, you will also have boundless future prospects.!” Zhang Zhisong said as he tried to make himself appear big.

“How is it? You should think about it. It’s a chance to reach the skies in a single leap!” Second uncle also added.

………… What could I say? Were they trying to show off their goodwill to me?
