Du Jiping admitted openly, "My relatives introduced me to someone who had studied abroad. I wanted to meet him and make friends with him."
So, it was indeed a blind date?
Yang Niannian found it strange, "You haven't graduated yet, and you're not that old, why are you meeting so early?"
She thought that based on Du Jiping's personality, she would be very resistant to this kind of blind date arranged by her family and would firmly pursue a free love relationship.
Du Jiping sighed.
"I don't want to either. The introducer is my aunt, so I have to give her some face and meet her. I'll just treat it as making another friend."
Her family just asked her to get to know him first. They didn't force her to get married immediately, nor did they force her to agree. She only agreed to meet him for the sake of her relatives' face.
Yang Niannian expressed her understanding, "That's true."
If you want to achieve great things in life, you can't just follow your own will. You have to know some social skills. I didn't expect Du Jiping to be so sensible.
Du Jiping couldn't help but persuade her again, "You worked so hard to get into Peking University, but now you're just staying at home as a housewife. Don't you think it's a waste of your talent? I advise you to think about it again! Otherwise, it will be too late when you regret it."
Yang Niannian was determined to do it to the end. "Everyone has their own aspirations. I think it's good now. We can talk about the future later."
Du Jiping still didn't give up. She felt that it was a waste of talent and a waste of her talent for her to be admitted to Peking University with such good grades but end up being a housewife at home. She tried to persuade Yang Niannian to change her mind.
"If you don't want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you can still stay in school. I plan to stay in school in the future. If you stay, the school will definitely welcome you, and we can still be colleagues."
Yang Niannian was firm, "Let's talk about it later! If I want to work, with my education, I can find a good job in a private company."
In order to make Du Jiping give up, she said, "Shi Shen and I have been married for several years and we don't have any children yet. We are currently preparing for pregnancy."
“…”
At this point, Du Jiping knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she changed the subject and asked.
"When you were in school, you had a good relationship with Senior Yu. Have you kept in touch after graduation?"
Yang Niannian answered truthfully, "We don't contact each other often. We only contact each other when there is something."
Thinking that Yan Minghao should be here soon, Du Jiping had no intention of leaving yet, so she added, "The friend I met today was introduced to me by Senior Yu."
Du Jiping felt a pang in her heart and said with a pursed mouth.
"You still have his contact information, and he even introduced you to someone. It seems like you have a pretty good relationship. Before graduation, I asked for his home phone number, but he wouldn't give it to me."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have completely lost contact after graduation, and she didn't even know which department Yu Sui worked in.
Yang Niannian touched her nose and made an excuse, saying, "He knew me well and we had a good relationship, so he left his phone number."
Hearing this, Du Jiping felt better. At least she saved a lot of face. At least it proved that Senior Yu treated all girls equally.
Just as she was thinking about it, the waiter suddenly brought someone over. Yang Niannian recognized Yan Minghao at a glance and quickly stood up and asked him to sit down.
Seeing that Du Jiping was not leaving yet, he could only give the two of them a brief introduction.
Du Jiping was not interested at first, but when she heard that Yan Minghao was a student of Tsinghua University, she immediately looked at him with a different eye.
Yan Minghao thought that Du Jiping was brought by Yang Niannian, so he didn't think much about it. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he started talking about business.
"I heard from Yu Sui that you need a house construction plan. What kind of house do you plan to build?"
Yang Niannian glanced at Du Jiping first and said tactfully.
"If you have something to do, you can go do it first, and we can make an appointment another day when we have time."
Du Jiping didn't want to leave. "If you have business to discuss, just talk about it. Don't bother with me."
Yang Niannian, "..."
Since she couldn't get rid of the big Buddha, she simply didn't care and started chatting with Yan Minghao in front of Du Jiping. After all, they were building a house in Haicheng, so it didn't matter even if Du Jiping knew about it.
She earned all her money legally through formal channels and was not afraid of being found out.
So he looked at Yan Minghao and said.
"I want to build a six-story building. The first and second floors will be used as stores, the third and fourth floors will be suites, and the fifth and sixth floors will be made into three large single rooms."
Yan Minghao took out a piece of paper and pen from his briefcase and said, "Write down the land area and internal requirements! I'll go back and compose the map according to your requirements."
"good."
Yang Niannian took the paper and pen and directly drew a house floor plan on the paper. Since she didn't know how to build a house, she just marked the layout.
The more Yan Minghao watched, the more strange it seemed to him, but he resisted the urge to interrupt.
Du Jiping couldn't help but complain, "Are you going to build a public toilet upstairs in the house? Why are there so many toilets on one floor?"
Yang Niannian's mouth twitched as she explained.
"It's convenient to go to the toilet this way."
In order to save money, people of this era basically share one bathroom on a floor or even in an entire building. This saves money, but it is really inconvenient to live in.
In the 20th century, large-scale renovation began again. It would be better to build a house with a better layout now, so that you can live in it until it falls apart.
"Are there so many people in your family?" Du Jiping looked at Yang Niannian with a puzzled look. No matter where this building is built, it will cost a lot of money, right?
Lu Shishen’s allowance is not bad, but it is still a bit difficult to build such a building, right?
What's more, he has to support Yang Niannian, a wife who is not very good at saving money. How can the family have any savings?
Yang Nian didn't even raise his head, he answered while thinking.
"If you can't live in the house, you can rent it out. The house is built in the city. Now more and more people are coming to the city to work. If you have a house in the city and collect rent, you can also earn extra income."
Du Jiping was able to be admitted to Peking University, so she has good logical thinking. When she heard Yang Niannian say this, she immediately understood what Yang Niannian was thinking.
"You don't accept the assigned job. Do you want to start a business? Do you want to be a landlady?"
Her tone was firm, and she was sure that Yang Niannian was doing business.
Come to think of it, Yang Niannian graduated from Peking University, how could she be willing to be a housewife?
As expected, she still didn't know Yang Niannian well enough, which was why she thought Yang Niannian wanted to be a housewife.
Yang Niannian admitted openly, "I did have this idea."
He sighed again pretending to be melancholy, "I just don't know if it can be done. You know, doing business means taking risks. If I make money, it's good. If I lose money, I don't know if I can bear it."
"What are you afraid of?" Du Jiping encouraged her, "Even if you can't rent it out, the house won't go away. It's still your house. If you want to do business, don't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind."
Yang Niannian looked up at her in surprise, "I thought you would hit me."
"Why would I discourage you? Anyway, as long as you don't stay at home as a housewife, I'm quite optimistic about you."
Although Du Jiping has not become a teacher yet, her love for talent has already awakened. She thinks it is such a pity that Yang Niannian, who is so smart and has such good grades, becomes a housewife after graduation.
Therefore, as long as Yang Niannian dares to do it, she will feel that all these years of studying are not in vain.
If I get rich, I can bring honor to Peking University.
