Wen Kai was not in a bad mood, he was just a little distracted, to a degree that most people wouldn't notice. Wen Ying was observant and noticed something was wrong immediately.
What’s going on? Are you having trouble adapting to university in Beijing?
This is not just a situation that happens to Wen Kai.
Some people who are admitted from small places to first-tier cities like the capital will feel the gap between the rich and the poor in first-tier cities and their hometowns, which will cause psychological imbalance.
Some people are particularly outstanding in their hometown, and when they go to university, they find that all their classmates are also very talented, which can cause psychological imbalance.
Some people have trouble with interpersonal relationships and are isolated by their classmates...
In his previous life, Wen Kai came to Beijing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He was already in his 20s after completing his undergraduate studies. His values were more mature, and he knew more clearly what he wanted. After graduation, he successfully stayed in Beijing and gradually established himself in the capital. Even if Wen Ying had never heard Wen Kai talk about the hardships involved, she had her own struggle experience in another first-tier city, Shanghai, so she could guess without Wen Kai saying anything!
In this life, Wen Kai went to Beijing earlier. Could it be that he had encountered some problems that made it difficult to adjust his mentality?
Wen Ying hinted at this, and Wen Kai laughed dumbly:
"You really deserve to be a novelist. What's going on in your head every day? Why am I being singled out and bullied?"
Wen Kai is not bragging. He feels that he is popular in school. He has never felt the word "isolation". No matter whether he is a rich classmate or a poor classmate, they are all willing to talk to Wen Kai. In interpersonal communication, being poor is never a fatal flaw. The fatal flaw is the inferiority and pettiness brought about by being poor. As long as Wen Kai is not inferior and does not take advantage of others, what does it matter whether he is rich or poor?
Will classmates look down on the top students who come from poor families, wear shabby clothes, eat the cheapest meals in the cafeteria every day but receive national scholarships every year?
Won't!
People will only admire such people.
On the contrary, a poor student from a poor family who does not focus on studying and strives to be at the top in college, but instead gives up on himself and becomes addicted to games, or who uses various excuses to cheat money from his family to satisfy his vanity and uses his family's hard-earned money to buy brand-name products for himself, will definitely be looked down upon from the bottom of people's hearts!
Wen Kai was full of energy and spirit, not at all timid after being isolated and bullied, which made Wen Ying feel a little relieved.
This made her even more curious about why her cousin was in a trance.
Shu Lu was not around, and Wen Ying and Wen Kai were the closest in age. The other relatives' children at the same table were still young, and children had their own circles, so they didn't care much about the conversation between Wen Ying and Wen Kai.
Wen Kai whispered about his troubles.
He didn't think there was anything shameful about Zhu Meiqun setting up a wonton stall. It was a struggle for a better life!
But can this struggle be carried out in a less arduous way?
"I've been helping out at the wonton stall for a few days and I've noticed my mom's business is really good. I'm worried my idea won't hold up to scrutiny, even though I want her to switch to a different small business. No wonder the saying 'a scholar is good for nothing' applies to people like me, doesn't it?"
Wen Kai's smile was helpless.
Learning is something he can control.
After failing the exam one year, he repeated his senior year and took the college entrance exam again, and finally got into the university of his choice.
On his maiden voyage, he was amazed at the excellence of his classmates. He did not dare to let his guard down even after entering university and continued to study very seriously, thinking that outstanding professional performance would give him an advantage over others in the future, whether it was admission to graduate school or finding a job.
This is something Wen Kai can control. He can set a goal and work hard.
Giving his parents some advice to make the process of accumulating wealth a little easier... This was something Wen Kai wasn't sure about. His life experience couldn't support such "suggestions". He was neither one of the Qin brothers and sisters with a profound family background, nor was he a reborn person like Wen Ying who had gained more experience in a different life. His ordinary family limited Wen Kai's vision, and he was just an ordinary freshman!
Although he wanted to grow faster, the reality was that it couldn't be achieved overnight. Wen Kai was absent-minded because he was confused about how to help his parents.
Wen Kai's confusion is even partly due to the comparison with Wen Ying.
He was not jealous of Wen Ying's excellence at all.
But when he found out that his mother Zhu Meiqun quit her job to set up a stall selling wontons, he really wanted to become Wen Ying!
Not to mention copying it 100%, even if he had one-tenth of Wen Ying's talent, he wouldn't have to work so hard, right?
After all, Wen Ying can not only write books to earn royalties, but also turn something like "crayfish" from a small stall into a chain store.
As a food stall, "Xiaolangxin" can become a chain store, but Zhu Meiqun's wonton stall cannot. It has nothing to do with what they sell, but depends on who sells it. Zhu Meiqun does not have Wen Ying's ability, and neither does Wen Kai - how much Wen Kai wishes he had it!
Wen Kai's confusion is really a difficult problem for Wen Ying.
She could only do these things after being reborn. In her previous life, she was not as good as Wen Kai!
While Wen Ying was racking her brains to organize her words, after three rounds of drinks, the drunken Old Wen began his speech tonight. Old Wen saved Wen Ying and took the initiative to talk about Zhu Meiqun's business!
Drunk, Wen Dongrong stood up and said he wanted to toast Zhu Meiqun with a glass of wine.
"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you. You are a woman of courage. I admire you!"
Zhu Meiqun felt a little uncomfortable.
The factory work was arranged by Wen Dongrong. Zhu Meiqun felt very sorry for Wen Dongrong after quitting her job to set up a stall.
Wen Dongrong was particularly angry when Wen Hongyan quit her job. Now it was Zhu Meiqun's turn. Zhu Meiqun just wanted Wen Dongrong not to be angry. Who would have thought that he would be praised?
When Wen Dongrong spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Meiqun, and Zhu Meiqun didn't know what to do with her hands.
"I, I just... I didn't do anything!"
Zhu Meiqun was anxious.
Wen Dongrong drank the wine, and Zhu Meiqun was forced to drink it as well, almost choking her.
Wen Dongrong was drunk but sincere, and he started by praising Zhu Meiqun's business so much that she almost crawled under the table. There was also a big seafood boss like Deng Shangwei eating at the same table with her. How could her small wonton stall be worthy of such public praise?
Zhu Meiqun felt guilty after being praised by Wen Dongrong.
Outsiders who didn’t know the truth thought Zhu Meiqun had built her business into one of the world’s top 500 companies!
Uncle Wen Ying also felt embarrassed.
Only Wen Ying's eyes turned: There is something conspiratorial about what Old Wen is singing and reciting!
Sure enough, Deng Shangwei reacted quickly, following his brother-in-law Wen Dongrong's steps to brag, saying that when he first arrived in Chengdu, he started from a small fish stall. After years of hard work, he now has a small fortune. Of course, Zhu Meiqun will definitely be better than him, a small boss, in the future.
Wen Dongrong gave Deng Shangwei an admiring look, then changed the subject, revealing his true intentions:
"Sister-in-law, it's like this. You see, my family moved to the provincial capital, and we have to pay off the mortgages for two houses. The household expenses are also quite high. I've been thinking about starting a small business to supplement the family income, but you know I have to work. I was thinking, can I invest some money in you, and we can do something together, like open a fruit shop or something? I heard that it's very profitable!"
