Chapter 65: Back to the Millennium and Tortured Phoenix Man 8 She is no longer herself...
Meanwhile, in a rented apartment, Fu Xiangrong was complaining to her husband, Chen Shiming, "It's all your fault. I told you to talk to your mom and let the three of us move in. I told you to get it done, and now there's no water or electricity?!"
She yelled in a hoarse voice. Chen Shiming was already annoyed enough, and now he was even more furious.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Mom had already agreed to this, and had agreed to let us all live in the villa. But I didn't expect my sister-in-law to suddenly change her mind and say we can't live there anymore. She said Zhizhi won't live on campus anymore and wants to live at home. Who knows what happened? How can you blame me for this? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having that kind of luck!"
As he spoke later, Chen Shiming became a little angry and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
According to Fu Xiangrong's usual temper, she was absolutely incapable of holding back her anger. She would have argued with Chen Shiming no matter what. But today, she suddenly held back and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, how's the deal with the electric oven replacement at Shen's Restaurant going?"
"I have replaced it and bought an electric oven, but the old man refused to use it. It's all your fault for being nosy. Now my brother is stuck in a dilemma." Chen Shiming was also annoyed when he learned about this today. After all, he only mentioned this to his elder brother after listening to his wife's whispers for a long time.
I didn’t expect that after I bought the electric oven and shipped it to the warehouse of Shen’s Restaurant, the old man actually didn’t allow me to use it and asked me to return the machine.
I've already bought it, how can I return it? Now I'm in a dilemma.
Fu Xiangrong sneered, thinking that the old man would not live for many months. As soon as he died, the Shen's Restaurant would be under the control of the two Chen brothers.
"Okay, don't worry, this matter will be advanced soon."
"Don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand." Chen Shiming looked down on his wife who came from the countryside from the bottom of his heart. He also regretted that he shouldn't have listened to her nonsense and went to persuade his elder brother. Now, both brothers were in an awkward situation and didn't know how the matter of improving the roast pig process would end.
"What do you mean I don't understand? I understand a lot, I know a lot, I'm too lazy to tell you."
"You know so much... Did you learn it all from those success books you bought?" Chen Shiming said to her sarcastically, then slammed the door and left.
Fu Xiangrong wanted to rush up and continue arguing with him, but after thinking it over, she held herself back and went back to her bedroom, lying on the bed and continuing to read her success book.
She is different now than in her previous life. She has lived a lifetime. She knows that her daughter is of extraordinary status. Xiaojuan is the heroine in a book. Although she was born in poverty, she got a counterattack script and gradually became a wealthy wife from a country girl. She also graduated from a prestigious university, had a successful career, and became a veritable person of superior status.
In her previous life, Fu Xiangrong was quite proud of her daughter, and she would brag to everyone about how successful and successful her daughter was. However, when she was reborn, she returned to the countryside and everything started from scratch. She found that she thought she was doing well before because she had never seen the world!
What's so good about my own daughter? She has lived in an environment of material scarcity since she was a child, and everything she says and does has to depend on other people's opinions. Although she later went abroad to study and married into a wealthy family, she also complained when she returned home that her poor background made it impossible for her to integrate into the upper class circle.
After living a new life, Fu Xiangrong realized that if she wanted her daughter to become a better person, she had to start working hard from now on.
The first thing to do, of course, is to let her daughter go to a better school. Before she recovered her memories of her previous life, she actually agreed to let her daughter go to an ordinary junior high school in her previous life. It’s not that No. 3 Middle School is not a good choice, but there are many children of migrant workers in No. 3 Middle School, and there are no fast and slow classes. How can this be possible!
My daughter suffered this loss in her previous life when she was in junior high school. The academic atmosphere in the class was average, and her grades were not very outstanding in junior high school. It was not until high school that she gradually started to perform well.
Of course, she is thinking further now. She wants her daughter to get in touch with people in the upper class in advance. If she wants to achieve this goal, she must start planning now. She must let her daughter go to a high-end private school!
Thinking of this, Fu Xiangrong could no longer concentrate on reading the book on success at her bedside. She had to go out as soon as possible to take care of her daughter.
…
Chen Shifeng was also very troubled at this time. After Chen Shiming came to the company and reunited with his brother, they both talked about the electric oven that was rejected by Shen Shiguo this time.
"Brother, what do you think this old man wants? Oh, I really regret that I shouldn't have suggested the electric oven to you." Chen Shiming said with some annoyance.
He also knew that his future depended on this elder brother. If he could not gain Shen Shiguo's trust, he would be doomed as well.
So no matter how unhappy he was, he had to suppress it and have a good talk with his brother about this.
"I don't blame you. The oven issue was my own decision. Besides, I don't think you did anything wrong."
"Really? I think so too. We're not wrong, but what's wrong with that old man? It's like he doesn't understand. There's no way we can communicate. No matter what we say, he won't listen."
When Chen Shiming heard that Chen Shifeng did not blame him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke up for his elder brother.
Chen Shifeng lowered his head, took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaled, and then slowly said, "Hasn't he always been like this? He's incredibly stubborn and insists on doing everything according to his old ways. Even if times have changed, he's unwilling to change."
"It's the 21st century now. We're making a contribution to the Shen Family Restaurant by replacing that outdated charcoal grill! Why isn't he willing to accept modern technology? Oh, if the Shen Family Restaurant continues like this, it will be finished sooner or later!"
"That's not the case. The old man has his own considerations. We can only talk to him again and see what his attitude is."
"Brother, I think you're really too aggrieved. You have to listen to that old man in everything. I think that since the old man has handed the Shen Family Restaurant to you, he should let go completely. That's why the Shen Family Restaurant is still named Shen. If the Shen Family Restaurant becomes ours in the future..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Before Chen Shiming could finish his words, Chen Shifeng immediately stopped him: "Don't say such disobedient words to your elders anymore, especially not in the company, do you understand?" Chen Shifeng said coldly.
Chen Shiming knew that he was in the wrong, and he also knew that although Chen Shifeng was now the top boss in Shen's Restaurant, he was still under pressure from Shen Shiguo, and he couldn't even move an electric oven. He could only talk about it.
"Okay... I understand."
What the two of them didn't know was that walls have ears. Shen Qian had just passed by the door, and the words that Chen Shiming blurted out were just heard by Shen Qian, and Chen Shifeng's interruption also reached her ears.
A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of Shen Qian's lips. On the surface, Chen Shifeng asked his brother not to continue. It was not because he felt that he was wrong, but because such thoughts were not acceptable and should never be discussed outside.
In the original book, about a year after Shen Shiguo's death, the Shen's restaurant fell completely into the hands of the two brothers of the Chen family. A year later, Chen Shifeng formally broke up with the original owner, almost leaving her with nothing.
So his interruption was simply because Chen Shiming happened to hit the nail on the head.
Shen Qian didn't intend to continue listening, and a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Please come in." The two brothers in the room looked at each other, ended their conversation, and Chen Shifeng sat back at his desk and said.
Shen Qian walked in: "What a coincidence, you are all here."
When Chen Shifeng saw that it was Shen Qian who came, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again subconsciously: "Why are you not staying at home at this time? What are you doing in the company?"
Shen Qian retorted: "Why are you in the company at this time? That's why I'm here."
Chen Shifeng really didn't like the way Chen Qian spoke to him. Recently at home, Chen Qian was always like this. Two out of three sentences made him feel suffocated. The two of them had been in a cold war since the day he was inexplicably locked out of the room.
If it were in the past, Chen Shifeng was used to being a bootlicker, so he would have to coax her. But now, they are both married, she has children, and he has now taken the position of general manager of Shen's Restaurant. How can it be the same as before?
As a wife, she did not understand her husband's hard work. She did not stay at home to take care of her mother-in-law and take care of the home for him. Not to mention that she ran out all day long, now when she met him at the company and there were outsiders present, she did not even give him any face.
When Chen Shifeng thought of this, his face darkened even more.
Chen Shiming was a shrewd man. Seeing that the atmosphere between the couple was a little strange, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, you came to the company for something, right? If you have anything, just give the company a call. You know my office phone number, right? Let me know next time and I'll help you."
Shen Qian looked at Chen Shifeng: "I want to see the information of the electric oven you bought. I asked my dad and he told me to contact you directly."
When these words were spoken, Chen Shifeng and Chen Shiming were both a little surprised.
"What do you want the oven information for?" Chen Shifeng looked defensive.
Chen Shiming felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, don't you usually care about the Shen Family Restaurant? Why do you suddenly want to look at the oven information today?"
Shen Qian knew that there was no need to hide some things, so he said loudly: "I don't want to be at home all the time, so I asked my dad to let me run Shen's Restaurant."
Chen Shiming's expression became tense. "Chen Ji? That little restaurant? Didn't you say before that you would let your third sister manage this restaurant?"
Shen Qian smiled and said, "You did mention it, but wasn't it rejected by Chen Meihua? It's just a small restaurant, and people don't look down on it. But I'm different. I think this restaurant is just right for me to practice."
Chen Shifeng frowned, his expression becoming even uglier. "Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with me when you were at home?"
Shen Qian sneered in his heart, thinking, telling you? Are you waiting for you and your mother to fight me so that I give up?
Although Chen Shifeng did not show it, he was quite patriarchal in his heart. In addition, he was thinking about taking over the entire Shen family's assets, so he naturally had to guard against her, the true heir of the Shen family.
If he knew in advance, he would try every possible way to persuade her to give up, and he would also ask his mother to bombard her with complaints. He might even go to her parents' house to complain and express his dissatisfaction in front of her parents. Given her parents' style of keeping things quiet, they would most likely persuade her to give up.
It's a pity that Chen Qian is no longer the weak woman who can be easily manipulated.
