Chapter 64
"Oh? Mr. Pei is still a college student. Which university did you graduate from?"
Liang Nuo thought, no wonder he is different from others, it turns out he is a college student.
The education level is not high these days. Most people, even factory workers and business owners, are not very educated. Although they are arrogant, they have a natural filter for college students.
The more educated a person is, the more low-key, humble and friendly he or she is.
"Capital University."
"Mr. Pei is amazing! He's actually a top student at Capital University. So, may I ask, what's the reason why you didn't stay in the capital to develop your career?"
Liang Nuo was surprised. Capital University, that must be so great. Even if he didn't do business, he would be assigned a top-notch job after graduation.
"Family reasons, I won't go into details."
"Your company is well-known throughout the province. How did you grow so big?"
"To be honest, I'm not an ambitious person. It was only after I got married last year that I felt the motivation to pursue my career. My success is inseparable from the support and help of my wife, father-in-law, and my mother. Without them, Ming'an Home Furnishing would still be a small workshop."
"It seems that you and your wife have a very good relationship. Are you in a free love relationship?"
"No, I got married last year. We're from the same village, and it was an arranged marriage. I personally don't like arranged marriages, and I even threw a tantrum at the time. Now looking back, I was really selfish and I'm sorry to my lover. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely cherish and respect her from the moment she walked in the door."
"Was there any misunderstanding between you at that time?"
"Not really. It's purely my personal prejudice against her."
Thinking back to the past, Pei Ze felt a lot of emotion. He was a fool at that time, and he took his dissatisfaction with the arranged marriage to Zhong Miao. Fortunately, they did not miss each other.
"Then let me ask you a few more questions. How did you break this prejudice?"
"She has changed over the years. She has many advantages. But apart from those, she herself is what attracts me the most."
"As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. Your wife must be an exceptionally virtuous person."
"Haha, she's very virtuous and independent. She's not the type to rely on her family for everything. I like that about her."
"Then I wish you two a happy and harmonious life. Let's get back to the point. You are a young entrepreneur in Qingzhou City. What are your views on the future of the furniture industry?"
…
The interview shows of this era were quite serious, with everyone talking back and forth, and Pei Ze completed the task easily.
Zhong Miao has been painting at school these days. She wants to complete at least two works before school starts, but she has just started the second painting. Seeing that school is not far away, she should work harder and try to finish this set of paintings as soon as possible.
Why are you in such a hurry? After school starts, you will have classes such as sketching, color, basic modeling, cultural courses and humanities courses. It will definitely not be as good as now, when you have plenty of time to create.
There are only a few good art exhibitions every year, and the times are almost fixed. If you miss them, you have to wait for the next one.
Recently, no matter how busy Pei Ze is, he will send her to school and pick her up in the evening, for fear that she will be tired again.
At 7:30 on the weekend evening, the family sat together to watch Pei Ze's interview program.
"Dad, dad, you're really on TV. My dad is on TV." An An looked at his father on TV, a little bit unbelievable, his big eyes moving back and forth between the TV and his dad.
An An's expression was so cute that Zhong Miao couldn't help but touch his little face and said, "That's right, your dad is on TV."
"Oh, our second son looks really decent after changing his clothes. He looks quite like the real deal."
Zhang Weilan teased her son.
"Of course, my wife picked out the clothes for me. She has such a good taste." Pei Ze was not modest at all.
"Son-in-law, you're famous now. You really bring honor to our family."
Zhong Ming was also happy and praised generously.
"That's also because my wife and dad taught me well."
"Don't try to fool me with your nice words. If I don't help you, you'll just have to spend a little more time. You're a good kid."
Zhong Ming knew his brother-in-law's abilities very well. Pei Ze would be able to do it with or without his help. It was just a matter of time.
After the female host finished her introduction, she began to ask questions.
Five pairs of eyes were staring at the TV, and no one said a word.
At the same time, Liang Nuo rarely accompanied his parents to watch his own show.
"Dad, Mom, this is the person I was talking about. He's different from everyone else."
"Nono, but I'm already married."
How could the old mother not see that her daughter liked him? What a pity, they were supposed to get married last year, just a short time away, they were not destined to be together.
"I think differently from you. What's wrong with getting married? Times have changed. Didn't that guy say it was an arranged marriage? How can a village girl compare to our Nono? Nowadays, there are many people around me who are getting married for the second time. Even during the Republic of China, weren't there many important figures who fell in love with others and abandoned their wives and children?"
Liang Nuo's father's point of view was completely different from her mother's, but it gave her a glimmer of hope.
"Dad, wouldn't that mean I'm destroying someone's family?"
"What kind of destruction is this? A young man like this and a country girl are not a good match. Men are not trustworthy. Look at what this guy said about the love between husband and wife. Those are just polite words. Who knows how much he really means? He himself said that he is prejudiced against his wife."
"Well, can such a person be trusted to say one thing and think another?"
"What's unreliable about it? He might not be reliable with that village girl, and he might not dare to do the same with our family. Nuonuo, you have to know that you are different from the village girl. If he married someone like you, he wouldn't dare to hide it. After all, you work at a TV station. You have to remember that the bigger the business, the more afraid you are of offending people and being exposed."
Their Liang family is a descendant of a prominent family. Liang's father doesn't take this kid seriously because he is a nouveau riche. However, no matter how powerful a family is, it cannot be without money, not to mention that their family has already declined.
After watching Pei Ze's interview, he admired this young man very much. He was neither arrogant nor impatient. There were few people with such a stable mentality in the business circle. Besides, his Liang family needed someone who could make money like this. Although the Liang family had a lot of wealth, it would eventually run out.
Recently, he also saw the advertisement of Ming'an Home Furnishing on TV and knew what Ming'an Home Furnishing meant now. What's more, the other party was a top student who graduated from Capital University. His knowledge was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Since his daughter liked it, of course he had to help.
"But he and I are not colleagues, how can I contact him?"
After hearing what her father said, Liang Nuo also became interested. Her father was right. She was beautiful and generous, and could help him in his career. How could a village girl with an arranged marriage compare to her?
Isn't that how men are? Not to mention now, even during the Republic of China period, there were many who divorced and remarried.
"You'd better first ask around about his family background and his wife. After you understand them, you can try to approach him. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. If you like him, take the initiative. It's really hard to find a guy like him."
"Well, I'll give it a try."
-
Some time ago, Pei Ze and his mother-in-law went back to the village overnight. After the house was packed up, they had completely moved to the city. His mother-in-law also gradually adapted to life here.
An An was excited when he heard that they would not go back to the village. This child especially likes the city. If he wants to eat something, he will go directly to the market with his grandmother. It is much better than the village store.
Zhong Miao took some time out of her busy schedule to take the driving test. Once the license is obtained, she can drive out for a stroll by herself. The thought of it makes her excited.
Originally, the family wanted to take the children out for some fun during the summer, but unfortunately, they were too busy and didn’t have time.
Pei Ze gets his money back quickly, which is enough to buy another car. All the money he earns is in her hands. He usually only carries one or two hundred yuan, which is enough for emergencies. She knows exactly how much money there is at home.
Zhong Miao never took the initiative to ask to go to Pei Ze's factory or store. She would not pay too much attention, nor would she interfere in Pei Ze's business. After all, she didn't understand those things very well and could not provide him with more valuable advice.
The numbers on the passbook change every few days, and occasionally when the factory pays the bill, the amount increases exponentially.
Money is hard to make these days because it is valuable. Although the salary is not high, a popsicle only costs a few cents. As long as you earn 40 or 50 yuan a month, you rarely have enough to spend. You are still quite wealthy and your happiness index is very high.
To put it another way, it's easy to make money these days. As long as you have capital and choose the right direction, it's much easier to expand your business than it was decades ago. Money just flows into your pocket like water.
This is Pei Ze's current situation. Now, each small order can be paid out in the amount of several thousand, and large orders are over ten thousand. Although he has only been in business for a short time, his business is booming. The factory is working overtime, and the workers' commissions are higher, and their enthusiasm is also high. In order to increase production, the factory is also constantly recruiting people.
Ever since Pei Ze opened his shop, Zhong Miao had realized that their family had crossed classes, even several classes.
Pei Ze is no longer the same person he was before, and Zhong Ming has also started to receive capital inflows.
Zhong Ming's opportunity came before winter. I have to say that his father was really amazing. The factory had already made down jackets and was working with a textile factory to improve the fabric.
The happy days during this period have reduced her internal friction and she no longer feels like a burden to the family.
Maybe it's because she started creating, and once she got on the right track, she felt more confident.
She really fell in love with Pei Ze, her cheap husband, but if you say that she loves him wholeheartedly and to the point of losing herself in love, that is impossible. She is not a person who puts love above everything else.
She likes and accepts Pei Ze.
Anyone who has a husband like this would probably find it hard not to like him, but life is not just about love. She has her own pursuits and career, and her future has unlimited possibilities.
If there is only love in a person's life, it would be very sad. Just like my mother-in-law said, love is not necessarily reliable, only friendship can go further.
At 6:30 in the evening, Pei Ze parked his car and walked towards the Oil Painting Department. He was there to pick up his wife.
When he arrived at the door of Zhong Miao's studio, he was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery before him.
The sunset sent a faint but warm light into the studio. Zhong Miao bathed in the golden sunlight, holding a paintbrush, painting the colors stroke by stroke. She looked focused but relaxed, and her whole body exuded a beautiful and soft glow.
Her beautiful, slightly curly hair was tied up into a small bun. The loose hair on her forehead and temples fluttered in the wind from the fan from time to time, gently caressing her fair face.
A little sweat seeped out of her forehead, wetting some of her hair and covering it, adding a touch of charm to her.
Zhong Miao was wearing a simple solid-colored dress and an ordinary apron, but for some reason, Pei Ze thought she was beautiful, especially beautiful.
Zhong Miao's temperament at this moment was gentle, as if she was gentle enough to embrace everything. At the same time, she was holy, making people unable to help but worship her devoutly.
She is naughty and lovable, but also frank, sober, tolerant and gentle. Her complex multifaceted nature blends together to make her who she is.
Pei Ze wanted to buy a camera immediately to take pictures of the beautiful scenery in front of him and keep it as a permanent souvenir.
He must buy a camera tomorrow. He wants to record every smile and frown of Zhong Miao and treasure it forever. Only in this way can he do justice to her beauty.
