After a tense and busy forty minutes, like a battle, He Wenlin and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then can everyone sit down and eat together.

After lunch, He Wenlin made some simple arrangements for the afternoon's activities and then let them go to rest.

He Wenlin soaked some wood ear mushrooms and vermicelli for the afternoon.

She counted the money in her bags. She only kept 200 yuan in change in each bag, plus 85 yuan for gas. She counted the remaining money and found she had 1889.3 yuan.

"Give me the money." After saying that, Mr. He reached out to grab He Wenlin's bag. "I'll go deposit it."

He Wenlin quickly put it away: "I'll save it myself."

Ignoring her father's anger, He Wenlin counted out five hundred yuan and gave it to him: "Take this five hundred yuan and buy a tricycle. Business is pretty good now, so we can't always use Brother Zhou's vehicle. After you buy the vehicle, if there's any left over, you can use it to buy cigarettes."

"Hey, you brat, you sent your dad? I'm your dad, who are you trying to fool? Give me your bag, I'll go store it."

He Wenlin had already run outside the door and said with a smile, "Dad, you are my real dad, that's true, but it's easy to give you money, but if I want to use it later and want to get it back from you, that will be difficult."

Having money in your own hands makes things much easier in the future. If it ends up in your parents' hands, and they don't support you, you won't be able to get the money back.

Moreover, He's father has the idea that reading is optional. If He Wenlin is not allowed to study, where will she get money?

Therefore, it's safer to manage your own money.

"I'm your father, how could I harm you! You've had everything you need since you were little, have you ever lacked anything?" Mr. He was furious; he never expected his daughter to be so wary of even him!

"Dad, I'm the boss. Have you ever seen a boss who keeps money in the hands of his employees? Dad, don't try to seize power right away!"

"Even bosses have to listen to their parents!"

"Dad, I'm saving the money for something big. You just focus on being the regent and don't worry about the Ministry of Revenue."

After saying that, He Wenlin rode off on her bicycle in a flash.

Enraged, Mr. He shouted from behind, "You damn well better come back here!"

This won't do. Based on my understanding of my parents, they will definitely be "envious" and want to control the finances. So I need to find a powerful backer, someone they dare not offend, to be the Minister of Revenue and control the finances.

He Wenlin went to the bank first and deposited 1,600 yuan. She still had more than 200 yuan in change on her, which she would save for buying groceries the next morning.

There should be some income in the afternoon and evening, which will be used to pay the employees' salaries.

On her way back, He Wenlin went to a phone booth to call home, and coincidentally, her grandmother was at the convenience store.

"Grandma, it's me, Linlin. How are you doing at home?"

"Everything's fine at home. How are you all doing over there?"

"Grandma, let me tell you, my boxed lunch business is booming now. I make over a thousand yuan a day, and I've already saved over five thousand in my account."

"Really?" Grandma He couldn't believe her ears.

"Of course it's true! I would never lie to you, you are my dearest grandma."

"Haha, after being away for a few days, my mouth has become sweet."

"Grandma, my parents don't know about the money. I haven't told anyone except you, so you have to keep it a secret."

He Wenlin was raised by her grandmother, and they had a very deep bond. Although the grandmother was illiterate, her perspective and wisdom in dealing with people were better than He's father's.

Grandma He felt very comforted when she heard this; she hadn't raised her granddaughter in vain.

Despite her joy, Grandma He still told He Wenlin, "There's nothing you can't tell your parents. They won't take your money. They go out to work for you and your siblings."

"Grandma, I know what you're saying. I'm just afraid that my dad will think he can make money and won't let me go to school. Grandma, I want to make money, but I also want to go to university. And another thing, what if the money ends up in their hands? What if they disagree with me when the business expands and refuse to give me the money? In the end, it's because I'm too young."

Because of her young age, her parents were worried about her and didn't trust her.

Her parents thought she was capable and smart, but they felt they had more experience and were smarter.

He Wenlin has lived two lives, and she knows her parents' personalities very well.

But she never doubted that her parents loved her.

"Grandma, I heard that my second brother is back. Has he found a job yet?" He Wenlin asked.

The "second brother" she mentioned was the son of her uncle's family. He was two years older than He Wenlin, had terrible grades, and had dropped out of school after graduating from junior high. He had been working outside for a year.

"Not yet, he's staying at home. I was planning to let him go out with your sister Xiaomei, but she said she'd be coming back in a couple of days."

Xiao Mei is He Wenlin's aunt's child. She is 26 years old this year and works as a manager in a factory in Guangzhou. She is also the most successful among He Wenlin's generation. There is a big age gap between them, and Xiao Mei has always been developing her career in Guangzhou, while He Wenlin has always been in Jiangxi Province. Therefore, the two of them had no contact in their previous lives.

However, He Wenlin remembered that around this time in her previous life, she and her brother started working together independently. Later, they made money, bought houses, cars, and shops, and amassed a fortune of tens of millions.

During the pandemic, they started a disinfectant business again, and their assets rose to another level.

“Grandma, please have my second brother come and help me. I run a food business, and he can learn some skills from him. You should come with him. Grandma, you have to come and be the Minister of Revenue and the financial manager to manage my money.”

"Haha, a finance manager? You're about to start school..."

"Grandma, that's why I asked you and my second brother to come. I want to stay here and go to school."
