Chapter 156: Changing Surname Again (Page 1/2)
Shen Rui feels that his current life is pretty good.
Guo Xiaoxiao has a stable job and income. He takes care of the children at home and keeps the house in tidy. He is not rich, but at least he is better off than most.
He is a little vain, but it is normal for men to like cars, just like women like to buy bags.
Since their mother gave them the money, if they added a little more money to buy a better car, it would not be considered as excessive consumption, but would be within their spending capacity.
But starting a business is different.
How many people throw money into starting a business, but it's like a small stone thrown into the lake, which bounces around twice and then disappears.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to give up his current stable life and start over again.
"We're doing so well now. We don't have to worry about food and clothing, and we can even save some money every month. If you start making trouble, what if all the money we've saved over the years is gone?"
Guo Xiaoxiao said, "If we fail, we can just start over. We are not that old, so it will only waste a little time."
"Chen Rui, I've been working in this industry for almost ten years, and I've reached a bottleneck. There's a limit to how much I can work, and I don't want to work for my boss forever."
Especially when she saw that her elder sister Shen Ru's career was flourishing after her divorce, she wanted to go out on her own even more.
"I won't invest that much at the beginning. I plan to take it slow. Even if I fail, I'll only lose my savings of the past few years and a little time. I have the confidence to start over. Don't be so nervous, okay?"
Shen Rui said unhappily: "You've already said everything, what else can I do?"
Before Jiuer was born, she was the main breadwinner in the family. After Jiuer was born, all the family expenses fell on her. The family's money was earned by her. If she insisted on starting a business, Shen Rui knew that he could not stop her.
If trying to persuade her doesn't work, then forget it and let her do what she wants.
Shen Rui: "Then I have to calculate how much savings are left at home."
Guo Xiaoxiao transfers a sum of money to him every month and keeps some for herself.
After deducting household expenses every month, Shen Rui would save a portion.
In the past two years, Chen Baomei has given some subsidies from time to time, which is also a considerable amount of money.
Shen Rui hadn't calculated the savings in his pocket. Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to start a business, so he had to sort out the family savings and see how to allocate the money.
Shen Rui calculated that including cash and bank deposits, he had 480,000 yuan.
Guo Xiaoxiao had 190,000 yuan in her hands, plus the 200,000 yuan that Chen Baomei had just transferred to them, a total of 870,000 yuan.
Shen Rui: "600,000 will be used for your business start-up, and the remaining 270,000 cannot be used and will be used for our daily expenses. What do you think?"
Starting a business is not something that can be achieved overnight, and you don’t know when you will make money.
He needs to save some money for emergencies.
Fortunately, they had already paid off their mortgage, and their monthly expenses were just daily expenses, which didn’t cost much.
The only thing I need to worry about is that Jiuer will go to kindergarten in the second half of the year.
He only has this one precious daughter, and he wants her to go to a better kindergarten.
A slightly higher-end kindergarten would cost tens of thousands of yuan per semester, so he had to set aside at least two years' worth of kindergarten tuition.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "That's enough."
Thanks to the money given by her mother-in-law, the startup capital was much more than she expected.
Shen Rui wiped his face and said, "When Jiuer goes to kindergarten, I will find a class to take to relieve some of the pressure."
As a grown man, it should be easy for him to find a job.
"You're dreaming too much. You think a job with two days off from 9am to 4pm is that easy to find? Even if there really is such a fantastic job, if your child gets sick or even has a minor illness, which company will allow you to take time off every few days?"
I send my child there at eight in the morning and have to pick him up from school around four in the afternoon.
Children in the small class will finish school earlier. If the child cannot accept after-school care, the teacher in the small class will have to go to school at 3:30 in the afternoon to pick up the child.
If the company is far away, commuting time can also be a hassle.
If you look for a job near a kindergarten, the range of options is even smaller.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt that his idea was not very realistic.
This is also the bitter reality for many full-time mothers who cannot return to the workplace.
Having a child takes three years, the child goes to kindergarten for three years, and by the time he starts elementary school, six years have passed. It is extremely difficult to return to the workplace.
All in all, she is luckier than many mothers.
Chen Rui was willing to support her career and willingly gave up his job to return to his family and take care of the children as a full-time househusband. For three years, he kept the house in order so that she didn't have to worry about anything.
Compared to most men who are overly chauvinistic but have no future, Shen Rui is already quite good.
Even though he has many shortcomings, he is highly compatible with me, which can be considered a relatively perfect relationship between husband and wife.
"With me here, you don't have to worry about money. Just take care of the house."
Shen Rui: "We have to try it. If we can't find it, we can talk about it later."
"It's up to you then."
"My eldest sister runs a tutoring class, and Mom also gives her money. If you want to start a business, will Mom support us a little?"
What they do is serious business, which is different from the older brother and sister-in-law who used to brag about being rich and send their children to international schools at high costs.
If his mother knew, she would probably give them some support, right?
Guo Xiaoxiao also knew about this. "That was something my eldest sister borrowed from my mother. She didn't have enough cash on hand, so it's normal for her to borrow money from my mother."
"Didn't my eldest sister make money but not return it to mom?"
"It's been converted into shares. My eldest sister even gave Mom a dividend of 100,000 yuan yesterday."
This is what her mother-in-law said to her casually when they were on the phone.
"Then when we have a funding shortfall, we can just ask Mom for help and give her shares."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say much, "We'll see what happens then."
If I follow my eldest sister's approach, I'm sure my mother-in-law will agree too.
However, she currently has sufficient funds and has no need to borrow money.
Having made the decision, Guo Xiaoxiao submitted her resignation letter to the company on the same day.
Chen Baomei finally embarked on the long-awaited cruise trip with her two daughters.
There are a full range of facilities including swimming pools, gyms, water parks, KTVs, libraries, etc., and there are also various entertainment activities.
After getting on the cruise ship, Chen Baomei was a little dazed for a moment.
These dazzling facilities were both novel and shocking to Chen Baomei, as she had never seen anything like them in her lifetime.
The two children were even more excited than Chen Baomei. After putting their things in the room, they started clamoring to go out and play.
Chen Baomei was also very curious. After putting her things away, she followed the two children around to tour.
The cruise ship sailed into the boundless ocean, and Chen Baomei and her two children also started their seven-day, six-night travel itinerary.
The atmosphere on their side was harmonious and cheerful, but Wu Wenwan and her son Wu Hui were not so happy.
Jiang Qiqi, who always loves to post updates, had her circle of friends read over and over again by Wu Hui.
Before the cruise departed, Jiang Qiqi posted a full nine-square grid.
Looking at those delicious and fun things, Wu Hui's eyes turned red with jealousy.
When Wu Wenwan came back from closing the store in the evening, Wu Hui couldn't help but mentioned the matter of changing his surname to Wu Wenwan again.
