"Mr. Chen, you're awake?"
Turning to look at Chen Yu, Little Peach said excitedly, "We're missing one player. Come quickly!"
The husky also turned to look at Chen Yu and wagged its tail, barking, "Woof!"
"W-Wait a minute..."
Chen Yu jumped out of bed in shock. He then grabbed the husky by its neck and scrutinized it. "I-It knows how to play cards?!"
"I'm still not familiar with it. I've been teaching it for the whole night, but it still can't distinguish J, Q, K, and king."
"..."
"It can't distinguish cards above 6 either. This dog doesn't know how to count," Little Peach said seriously.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Huh?"
"Are you kidding me?
How did its intelligence improve so much in one night? "
Putting down the husky, Chen Yu pulled out a 3 and slapped it on the floor. "How many is this?"
Seemingly filled with pride, the husky's wise eyes said, "Woof!
Woof!
Woof! "
"Pikachu said it's a 3," Little Peach translated.
"What about this?" Chen Yu switched to another 5.
"Woof woof woof woof woof!"
"Pikachu said it's a 5," Little Peach continued translating.
"Crap?!" Chen Yu's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, a 10 jumped out of the deck and asked, "W-How many is this?"
"Woof woof woof... Woof!"
"Pikachu said it's a 10."
"..."
Bang! Bang!
At this time, accompanied by a series of knocks, Mother Chen's berating voice came from the living room, "Chen Yu!
Are you done with it so early in the morning?
Come out and eat! "
"... I'll go right away."
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu stood up and pulled out Compulsory Mathematics 2 from his bag. He then flipped to a certain page and pointed at the spatial geometry on the page, asking, "What is this?"
The husky: "..."
Little Peach: "It said you're making things difficult for the dog."
"Bullshit!
It clearly didn't say anything! "
...
After a series of careful tests...
Chen Yu now had a rough understanding of the husky's current IQ.
This dog's IQ was only slightly lower than a chimpanzee's. It could accurately distinguish the size of a number within 5.
It also couldn't accurately distinguish numbers within 10 and beyond 5.
However, only one day had passed!
As the drug took effect, the husky's IQ would obviously increase.
"What a terrifying medicine …"
Picking up the Special Omega-3 Concentrated Lipids packaging from the trash can, Chen Yu couldn't help but be astonished as he read the product's description.
If this thing was given to a chimpanzee to eat, it might cause the rise of a real-life version of the Planet of the Apes.
"So even pet products from the future are dangerous in 2020 …"
Chen Yu took out a lighter and burned the packaging. He then collected the scattered cards and sat on the floor, quietly looking at the husky.
He was thinking about how to teach this dog.
"What do you want to teach it?" Chen Yu asked as he turned to Little Peach.
"Teach it Fight the Landlord."
"Other than playing, can you think of something serious?"
"Then... teach it to code?" Little Peach asked tentatively.
Chen Yu: "..."
"Woof!" The husky squinted its eyes and raised its head to howl.
"It says that it still wants to learn Fight the Landlord," Little Peach translated with a serious expression.
Chen Yu: "..."
…
Ten minutes later, the six members of the Chen family crowded in the kitchen for breakfast.
Father Chen and Mother Chen secretly exchanged glances.
After a while, Mother Chen cleared her throat and said, "Little Chen Yu, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Little Chen Yu?
Why are you being so polite? "Chen Yu immediately grew wary." What do you want? "
"What's with that attitude?" Frowning, Mother Chen said, "It's as if we want to harm you."
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this …" Putting down her chopsticks, Mother Chen sorted out the words in her mind. Smiling, she said, "Your father and I yesterday …"
"Mom, stop laughing. I'm a little scared."
Bang!
Mother Chen slammed the table and said, "Little brat, what are you saying?
Are your ears itching again? "
"No.
Tell me, tell me … "
"Cough, cough." Revealing a smile once more, Mother Chen said, "Your father and I attended a teacher's lecture yesterday."
"Health products?"
"What health products?
Do you think your mother is someone who can be easily fooled? "
"Oh, what class was that?"
"It was about stocks and investments."
"... Mom, you should go listen to health products."
"Stocks and investments!" Raising her voice, Mother Chen said sternly, "This is not a scam.
This is a type of financial management. You're still young, so you don't understand. "
"You understand?"
"We understand.
The teacher's lecture is very good. We understand immediately after the lecture.
Now is a good time for financial management. We can make money as soon as we enter the market! "
"So?"
"So, your father and I discussed it last night. We plan to talk to you about financial management and earn some money for you and your little sisters."
"You want to borrow money from me?"
"How can it be borrowing?
We're a family. "
"Want?"
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
"Mom …" Holding his forehead, Chen Yu said, "It's already 2020. It wasn't easy for our family to survive. What are you going to do?"
"Of course, I'm going to improve your family's assets!" Frowning in dissatisfaction, Mother Chen said, "How old are your father and I? How many years can we live?
We have to think about the future of the four of you.
People who don't think about the future will have immediate worries, understand?
Your father and I aren't in good health either. While we're still in our prime, we'll earn a little more money for the four of you. That way, you can relax a little in the future. "
"You'll definitely be unhappy if I don't give you money, right?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"What should I say so you won't be unhappy, then?"
"So long as you don't give us money, we won't be happy no matter what you say."
"..." Chen Yu wanted to cry.
"Now is a good time for financial management. After we get you a house, your father and I can let go."
Holding Chen Yu's hand, Mother Chen said earnestly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It just so happens that our family still has money now.
Otherwise, we wouldn't even have the capital to manage our finances.
You've also grown up. Who knows when you'll get married? We can't not even have a house. "
"What if I lose?" Chen Yu asked.
"It's impossible."
"I said 'if'."
"There are no 'ifs'."
"What if!
Is there no 'what if'? "
"That teacher is a finance professor at a famous university. The financial management projects he found are all excellent. There are no 'what if's," Mother Chen said firmly.
"... Hah."
Sighing, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "Fine. I have 50,000 yuan in my WeChat. Is it enough?"
"It's enough." Waving her hand, Mother Chen said, "I won't take a single cent of the money I earn. I'll use it to buy you a house."
"Fine. Your son doesn't lack money.
However, I still wish you success. "
"Son, just wait for the good news."
Rubbing her hands together excitedly, Mother Chen hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and placed the chicken drumstick on Father Chen's plate into Chen Yu's bowl. "Here, eat."
Father Chen: "..."
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu brought his three little sisters to school.
Chen Yike wanted to say something but hesitated. "Brother, I feel like Mom has been cheated."
"Be more confident. Remove the word 'seems'."
"Why didn't you persuade Mom, then?"
"She was obviously tricked." Shrugging, Chen Yu said, "Dad doesn't understand either. How long do I have to persuade him?
It's just 50,000 yuan. Think of it as buying Mom some happiness.
After losing this time, Mom won't fall for his tricks so easily in the future. We'll have nothing to worry about in the future. "
"Fifty … Fifty thousand yuan …" Sighing, Chen Yike said, "Why does it feel like five yuan in your eyes?"
Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu reached out and patted Chen Yike's head. "Your brother is no longer interested in money. In fact, I don't even plan to touch money for the rest of my life.
My happiest time was when Mom gave me 90 yuan as pocket money every month … "
