114: The daughter is honest, and the mother is also stupid

Chen Yan not only set up a company, but also signed the top internet celebrity Tangtang as soon as his MCN company was established. This start was quite explosive in the industry!

What has always restricted Xu Yao's development is funding. If she had as much funding as Chen Yan, she wouldn't have to start with a two-person studio... Based on her relationship with Tangtang, wouldn't she be more suitable to sign Tangtang than Chen Yan?

It’s a pity that Xu Yao has no money!

Xu Yao does not have an advantage in terms of funds, and her popularity is also lower than Tangtang's. Forget about signing Tangtang. Even if both parties take half of the shares and become partners, Xu Yao is taking advantage of Tangtang!

If Mrs. Shen Er had said earlier that she would provide funds to Xu Yao, she would really agree to it.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen said she would provide funds to encourage Xu Yao to open an MCN company, which seemed to mean that she wanted to support Xu Yao and Shen Yan to compete. Xu Yao thought about it several times in her mind, but still did not accept Mrs. Shen's kindness:

"I don't know how to repay you and my uncle for taking care of my mother and me. Now you want to help me start a business, but I don't dare to accept it. Shen Yan studied business in college, and after graduation he worked in the family company for so long. Now he has to start his own business. The starting point is very high. I am different from Shen Yan. I studied fine arts in college, and after graduation I only worked as a clerk in an advertising company. If I didn't have no other choice, I would not choose to start my own business. I actually have no confidence in starting a business. How can I have the audacity to ask you and my uncle to support me with money to start a business?"

Lin Meixian is very good at dealing with people, and Mrs. Shen Er did not expect Xu Yao to be so "real".

It is rare for young people to be able to restrain themselves from boasting in front of their elders. There is really no one like Xu Yao who honestly told Mrs. Shen Er that she did not have much confidence in her ability to succeed in starting a business!

Mrs. Shen Er disagreed: "How can you be so unconfident in yourself? Be careful that the Xu family's creditors hear about it, and they will call you and your mother's phone tomorrow!"

Xu Yao was embarrassed. "Of course I have to tell the truth in front of you. I always promised to pay back the debts in front of the creditors. Aunt, you must keep what I said just now a secret for me."

Although Xu Yao rejected Mrs. Shen's kindness, she couldn't get angry at all because Xu Yao was so honest. Mrs. Shen felt both happy and worried for Lin Meixian: "It's a good thing for a child to have good character, but they can't be too honest. The atmosphere outside is very bad now. Most people say they like honest children, but when they see an honest child, they will bully him."

Lin Meixian's eyes also showed a hint of sadness. "No one knows the situation of us mother and daughter better than you. I can't change Yaoyao's temper. She never speaks ill of others behind their backs. No matter how badly someone treats her, she will remember the kindness they showed her in the past. When she can't stand the grievance and asks to end the relationship, she will bear all the bad reputation. This child is really not stupid. If she really wants to live a happy life, why would she give up being a wealthy lady and become an internet celebrity?"

Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement. "Chen Yan is okay, but his mother Guo Xianzhen is not easy to get along with. It is wise for Yaoyao not to marry Chen Yan. Otherwise, she would really be bullied to death with such an honest temper."

There was a layer of sweat on the back of Xu Yao's neck.

She felt that she was not honest at all!

Another reason for breaking off the engagement was that she and Shen Yan had different ideas. Shen Yan's mother did dislike her, but she only spoke in a sarcastic way and did not bully her openly.

Xu Yao didn't expect that her mother Lin Meixian knew the essence of eye drops right from her mouth. Mrs. Shen Er didn't like Shen Yan's mother in the first place, so now she has even more reason to hate her.

However, mother and daughter are connected by heart, and Xu Yao cannot ruin her mother's performance in front of Mrs. Shen. She can only watch Lin Meixian continue to perform.

Lin Meixian changed the subject, "Yaoyao's personality is already formed and it's difficult to change. Since she has chosen to break off the engagement with Shen Yan and shoulder the debt alone, regardless of whether she can do it or not, as her mother, I must support her ambition. You are helping her out of good intentions, but outsiders may not see it that way. If Yaoyao takes your money to start a business, in the eyes of outsiders, she will still be taking the 'Shen family's' money. Regardless of whether her business succeeds in the end, she will always be criticized by others. People fight for a breath of air, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. I would rather let her fight for it on her own."

Lin Meixian's refusal was more tactful than Xu Yao's, and Mrs. Shen Er had no way to deal with Lin Meixian.

"You, you look so good at dealing with people, but you're actually stupid! Yaoyao and Shen Yan couldn't get married, so forget it. It's right for young people to go out and try their luck. Didn't you marry a man named Wen and still think about making money every day? Wouldn't you have earned this hard-earned money by coaxing Wen a little more?"

Lin Meixian smiled but said nothing.

Mrs. Shen Er actually didn't really dislike Lin Meixian for being stupid.

If Lin Meixian really only wanted to make money from men after remarrying Wen Zhicheng, Mrs. Shen would not have associated with Lin Meixian.

Even original spouses are not necessarily reliable, and spouses who marry later in life are even less reliable.

Lin Meixian is the most foolish person to pin all her hopes on Wen Zhicheng. Men will not cherish what they have. Lin Meixian is no longer young, but there are always young women out there who can seduce Wen Zhicheng.

Rely on men?

It’s better to rely on yourself.

A wealthy wife's status is different if she has her own money and if she relies on her husband for money. Mrs. Shen Er did not shy away from Xu Yao's presence and said directly to Lin Meixian, "I've saved the project you wanted last time. If you have time in the next few days, you should go through the contract first. Only when it is clearly written in black and white can it be yours. If you don't sign the contract, there will always be others who will be interested."

Lin Meixian nodded. "Yes, I know. I'll keep an eye on the progress of the contract."

Xu Yao knew that Lin Meixian had been acting as a broker through Mrs. Shen's connections, helping people to make connections and earning some agency fees. Xu Yao's dowry and honeymoon money were all earned by Lin Meixian in this way.

But listening to Mrs. Shen Er's words, Lin Meixian is no longer satisfied with earning agency fees and wants to take on projects herself?

Xu Yao broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Meixian: Mom has never done business before, so what project would she take on?

Several times, Xu Yao wanted to speak, but Lin Meixian did not give her a chance. Later, she even took Xu Yao away from the Shen family mansion.

Xiaoling was driving, Xu Yao and Lin Meixian were sitting in the back seat, and Xu Yao really couldn't hold it in.

"Mom, you've never done business before..."

“Of course I haven’t done it, but hasn’t your Uncle Wen been doing business all the time?”

Lin Meixian touched the back of Xu Yao's hand. "Your Uncle Wen and I have agreed that if I make money from my next project, we will split the profits in half. Don't I know why you chose to take on all that debt alone? Just focus on your career, and Mom will work hard with you. Sooner or later, we will pay off our debts."
