Can you let go of your son?
For Xu Weiwei, it's something she can let go of.
To be honest, first-time parents value their sons differently depending on their individual physical condition.
People who are more career-oriented don't care much about their son's upbringing.
However, this "indifference" is based on the premise that there are many people in the family willing to take care of the child.
The Xu family won't abandon this child, and neither will the Wang family.
but……
Wang Shouren was somewhat confused, especially since it was the Lunar New Year.
Is this woman out of her mind? She came here to talk to him about work.
If we're talking about who in the family is the most career-driven...
There really wasn't one.
Qin Jingru simply found herself some work; she was curious and wanted to apply what she had learned to see how it went. She was capable of working, but not particularly driven. Qin Huairu initially used work to numb herself, but later, after reaching a certain point, she didn't want to continue. Essentially, although she was worried about the development of Qin Family Village, she preferred to let go if a better person emerged.
Lou Xiao'e, needless to say, invested all her family assets in real estate after arriving in Hong Kong.
They just put it there to make money. Later, when Wang Shouren's things were sold in Hong Kong, it wasn't her responsibility. It was only in recent years, when Chairman Lou's health deteriorated, that she took over.
She took over the business for only a few years before handing it over to her son, letting him face the hardships of life, while she could go wherever she wanted every day—even Mundo wasn't as arrogant as her.
Only Xu Weiwei remained, and she became a workaholic.
When talking about work, she gets so excited that sometimes Wang Shouren wonders if this woman were born a man, would she be planning to conquer the world?
"Tell me, what are your plans for the next step?"
"Next, we'll finish up the rest. Now that we've done the work on the upstream, it's time to work on the downstream."
"You mean the supply and marketing cooperative?" Xu Weiwei immediately realized, "Are we planning to open our own shop?"
Opening a shop was still a novelty in 1985; in fact, it was not allowed in some areas.
"Yes, this is a troublesome job. Different places have different policies. I plan to go to a few cities where it sells well to see if I can open a store."
Having the sales outlets controlled by others is never a good thing. Unless your brand is truly irreplaceable, you'll inevitably have to pay display fees. You might even be completely controlled by others. And, at the very least, buying some shops now means that if your descendants aren't successful in the future, they can sell the properties and make a considerable profit.
"This project is a collaboration with people from Qinjiacun. If you really want to go, don't be afraid of hardship."
"What's so hard about opening a shop?" Xu Weiwei didn't understand.
In her world, this concept doesn't exist.
She wasn't sure how long the paperwork would take, or even if the locals didn't give her a hard time, what challenges she would face once the shop was open. Here's a little-known fact: gun control in China only truly began in 1996. Who knows, people might actually resort to violence. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that some places and some people only have their own set of reasons.
For example, you buy a house, and after operating it for a while, business is good. The seller feels they sold it at a loss and will demand that you return the house to them. The absurd thing is, they might not even want to pay you back the purchase price. You simply can't understand what they're thinking, but in fact, there are such people, and quite a few at that.
They only believe in their own reasoning.
"Then you'll encounter a lot of trouble and probably suffer a lot of humiliation. If you really want to go, then go and see for yourself. But, have your father-in-law bring a few bodyguards with him."
"What are you talking about? This is a mistake." Xu Weiwei rolled her eyes.
“What mistakes? I’m talking about those who have retired.” Wang Shouren slapped her irritably. “I’ll have Yuan Wai go there. You can observe and learn more over there.”
"Aren't you going?" Xu Weiwei asked.
"Ahem, I have something to do."
"What could possibly be wrong with you? Come with me after the New Year!"
"There are some things that I'm not really suited to handle," Wang Shouren said with a hint of helplessness; he genuinely didn't want to go.
"Fine, you're just lazy."
"Fine, I'll be lazy then." Wang Shouren shrugged. He didn't want to go anyway; it was too much trouble. He'd just leave it to his subordinates to handle.
"Then tell me what I might encounter," Xu Weiwei said, changing the subject without caring.
Wang Shouren: ...
He thought, "This woman is already in her thirties, how come she's so career-driven?"
"What? You can't even say this?"
"There's nothing I can't say, it's just about people. Opening a shop like this is essentially competing with the supply and marketing cooperatives for business, oh, of course, they probably don't care much. So, what you should be wary of are those individual vendors. Those who can move motorcycles like that probably have some connections behind them, and also..."
"Uh-huh……"
"I'm telling you..."
"Uh-huh……"
Before long, Xu Weiwei's head started nodding.
Wang Shouren sighed, gently put the girl's head down, got up, and planned to go out for a smoke.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw three pairs of eyes staring straight at him.
He glared at the three women with annoyance: "Did you hear that? Feeling better now? Qin Jingru, you lost again, didn't you?"
"Fine! Are you doing this on purpose?!" Qin Jingru said indignantly, her eyebrows raised. "I don't care, this doesn't count! Who would talk about work in bed like this in this weather?"
Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e didn't speak, but looked at her with smiles, each extending a hand.
"You...you guys!" Qin Jingru was furious. She pulled out two jade pendants from her bosom and placed them in their hands. Then she glared fiercely at Wang Shouren: "You're so shameless!"
"What are you thinking in your little head? She just finished her postpartum period, and I'm not going to mess with her." Wang Shouren tapped the woman's head. Sometimes he really wanted to open her head and see if it was full of dirty thoughts.
Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu looked at the jade pendant in their hands, played with it for a while, and then put it into their pockets.
He was laughing very happily.
These three women in the family have all developed a fondness for jade items. Lou Xiao'e prefers antique pieces, Qin Huairu isn't picky—she likes anything that catches her eye, whether antique or modern. Qin Jingru, on the other hand, only wants high-quality pieces. So, if you were to ask who among the three women has the most valuable pieces, it would undoubtedly be Qin Jingru.
