Chapter 583 - 271: Mom, Your Image Isn’t Right!
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yuwen is not the driver, and Liu Jing should sit in the front passenger seat. But Liu Jing, a woman in her forties who's always been pampered, would indeed be inappropriate to sit in the front.
Zhou Yuwen consciously opened the back door for her, as Liu Jing was old enough to be his elder. The reason Zhou Yuwen was willing to stop and ensure a good deed was precisely because she drove a Maybach, wasn't it?
So once Liu Jing got in the car, Zhou Yuwen didn't hide anything.
Liu Jing had a very good impression of Zhou Yuwen. He was not only decent but also steady and logical in his actions. She noticed inadvertently that Zhou Yuwen wore a mid-to-high-end IWC mechanical watch and drove a luxury car worth millions.
Liu Jing speculated that Zhou Yuwen's family must be in business.
In Jinling, she should know all the business people. Perhaps she could even further her connection with Zhou Yuwen. So she asked which family Zhou Yuwen was from and what business they were in.
Zhou Yuwen had a purpose in getting to know Liu Jing, so he didn't hold anything back either.
He smiled and said, "Auntie, my family isn't in business. My family is from Xu Huai, and my parents are just ordinary grassroots civil servants."
"Well,"
"Auntie, you want to know where my car comes from, right?"
Zhou Yuwen smiled at Liu Jing through the rearview mirror, and her expression indeed had that meaning.
Zhou Yuwen said he wrote novels online.
"I'm quite lucky; I made some money."
"Writing novels?" Liu Jing's interest was piqued by this statement, as different classes have different perceptions of writing novels.
To anyone familiar with online literature, they would scoff, and online literature is considered a novel? A keyboard, a pair of hands, a lone début, with content built on imagination!
But Liu Jing was different. She had never dabbled in online novels. In her mind, writing novels was about traditional literary fiction. Could Zhou Yuwen afford such a good car just by writing novels?
Liu Jing looked at Zhou Yuwen with new respect and asked, "Did you buy this car with money you earned from writing novels?"
She understood publishing, but buying a million-dollar luxury car solely from writing novels?
Zhou Yuwen said, "Yes, I know you might not believe it, Auntie, but you can look up my news online."
Liu Jing actually took out her phone to search. Mainly because the idea of Zhou Yuwen buying a million-dollar luxury car by writing novels seemed inconceivable to her. If it were true, Zhou Yuwen would really be one of the elites among his peers.
If Zhou Yuwen had made a lot of money from business, Liu Jing would have looked at him with new respect but wouldn't have had the reaction she had now. But if Zhou Yuwen made his living by writing novels, then Liu Jing would see him as an intellectual. She would greatly respect him, thinking Zhou Yuwen was astonishingly accomplished at his young age.
Coincidentally, Zhou Yuwen was in the prime of his fame lately, and the novel website had spent a lot of money on sponsored articles for him. Now the internet was full of articles singing his praises.
For instance, discussing how to write web novels with traditional literary techniques.
Zhou Yuwen's novels were written with humor and wit, and the plot was full of twists and turns.
The development of the story was both sensible and beyond ordinary expectations, making it a rare good read.
HIs books employed a lot of spring and autumn writing methods.
This was enough to show that Mr. Zhou, despite his young age, had a very high literary quality. His writing could even stand par with those from famous literary families.
Indeed, some of the articles were a bit exaggerated, but there were many of them. And among them were some claiming that Zhou Yuwen's last month's royalties had broken a million!
The CEO of a listed company found the sense of youth in Zhou Yuwen's novels and threw in two million yuan!
Zhou Yuwen, who was born in an ordinary family and has loved literature since childhood...

These reports allowed Liu Jing to get a rough understanding of Zhou Yuwen. When she looked up again, the way she saw Zhou Yuwen had become even more favorable.
It's actually a five-minute drive from the library to Entrepreneurship Park.
Having learned about Zhou Yuwen from her phone, Liu Jing also stopped the car. Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, "Auntie, we've arrived at Entrepreneurship Park. Which building are you going to? I'll take you there."
"Oh, it seems like it's Building B."
"That's convenient; I'm in Building B, too."
Zhou Yuwen got out of the car and opened the door for Liu Jing.
Liu Jing sincerely said to Zhou Yuwen, "Xiao Zhou, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you. You helped Auntie out so much and even found me a pair of slippers..."
Zhou Yuwen said it was nothing; everyone faces difficulties when they're out and about.
"Auntie, you're about my mom's age. Helping you on the road means someone else might help my mom when she's in need," Zhou Yuwen said.
The more Liu Jing listened to Zhou Yuwen, the more she liked what she heard, wondering why her own children couldn't be as understanding as Zhou Yuwen.
Actually, to tell the truth, Liu Jing was surrounded by children from noble families, but she didn't like those noble children. Sure, they were outstanding.
But they all carried an air they couldn't hide: a kind of inherent arrogance. They lacked empathy. These types of people could hide it well in front of the average person. The average person interacting with them would think, oh, these rich second-generation kids are well-bred and polite.
But in reality, the reason they seemed so polite was because the average person did not threaten their interests. The true rich second generation won't show off too much, but if you, being an average person, don't act with the awareness of your status around them, then they'll display their disdain without any reservation.
