"Sister-in-law, let me think about this."
"Brother, I know you can't bear to leave Chunhua. Actually, my idea is that you and Chunhua should come to Beijing together. I will find a good school for Chunhua, and you can work with Lingchuan to manage the pager business. You have seen that this industry has great prospects and can make a lot of money."
Ling Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this business is much better than making small accessories, but small accessories were also something you and Chuanzi worked hard to run. Now it's easy to make four or five thousand yuan a year. It's a pity to give up like this."
"Don't give up, big brother. Have you forgotten Uncle Deng and his family? We can transfer the small jewelry business to them, or form a partnership with them and let them run the business. We can just take the dividends every year."
Ling Jiang's eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, your idea is feasible. I'll go discuss it with Chuanzi."
"good."
Although Ling Jiang is honest, he is also a decisive person. He immediately rode his motorcycle out to the shop to talk to Ling Chuan about this matter, while Shao Mo went to the study to find Ling Chunhua.
Having just signed a contract to become a young writer, Ling Chunhua gained a lot of confidence. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in the study and continued to write short essays.
During the time Shao Mo and Ling Jiang were talking, she had already written a 200-word essay.
Seeing Shao Mo coming in, Ling Chunhua immediately showed her the essay she had written as if she were presenting a treasure.
Shao Mo looked at it, smiled and praised it a few times, and Ling Chunhua then smiled with satisfaction.
Shao Mo put down her composition book and pulled Ling Chunhua to sit next to her. "Chunhua, auntie has something to tell you."
"Um."
Ling Chunhua leaned on her arm obediently, "Aunt, what's the matter?"
"Do you like the capital?"
Ling Chunhua nodded hurriedly, "I like it. Beijing has my aunt and uncle, tall buildings, elevators, and lots of delicious food and fun things."
"So do you want to live in the capital?"
The smile on Ling Chunhua's face slowly disappeared and turned into confusion.
After a moment, she shook her head gently, "No."
"Why?"
"I don't want to be separated from my father."
"What if your father also stays in the capital with you and lives with us?"
Ling Chunhua's eyes suddenly opened wide, with curiosity, disbelief and joy on her face.
"If Dad stays in Beijing, what will happen to Aunt Lan?"
Shao Mo was a little surprised that her niece didn't miss Li Li but Wei Qiaolan instead.
"Of course Aunt Lan will continue to stay in Jiang City. Her family is all in Jiang City."
"But……"
Seeing Ling Chunhua was extremely anxious, Shao Mo deliberately teased, "But what?"
"Aunt, I, I, I said please don't be angry, okay?"
"Well, I will definitely not be angry, you tell me."
"Aunt, I want Aunt Lan to be my mother."
Ling Chunhua pronounced the word "Mom" very lightly, but Shao Mo still heard it.
She touched her niece's ponytail lovingly.
Wei Qiaolan was not around, and since she was not very good at braiding beautiful pigtails for children, she simply tied a high ponytail for Ling Chunhua at the back of her head.
Ling Chunhua asked hurriedly without waiting for Shao Mo to speak.
"Of course not. I was just wondering why you want Auntie Lan to be your mother. Do you think Auntie Lan is a good person?"
Ling Chunhua nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, Auntie Lan is very kind to me and my dad. She also helps me with my homework and goes to the school to attend parent-teacher conferences for me. My classmates all think Auntie Lan is my mother. They all envy me for having a beautiful and capable mother."
The fact that Wei Qiaolan loves Ling Chunhua alone is enough to kill Li Li in seconds.
Li Li was either criticizing this or complaining about that all day long. She either beat or scolded Ling Chunhua and never gave her a good look.
Wei Qiaolan is different. She truly treats Ling Chunhua as her own daughter. Not only does she dress herself beautifully, she also takes good care of the image of the father and daughter. She is also open-minded, much better than the sarcastic Li Li.
Ling Chunhua had been deprived of maternal love since she was a child. Now that she has tasted maternal love in Wei Qiaolan, she doesn't want to hold on to it tightly.
"I see, have you told your father about this?"
Ling Chunhua shook her head. "Auntie Lan said this is a secret between her and me. She doesn't have a daughter, and I don't have a mother. When no one is around, I can call her mom, but I can't let Dad know for the time being. She also said that she likes Dad and wants to marry him."
To be honest, Wei Qiaolan is a really smart woman. She knows it's hard to attack Ling Jiang, so she takes a roundabout way and attacks Ling Chunhua.
Ling Jiang is a daughter slave. If you win Ling Chunhua, you basically win Ling Jiang as well.
"Chunhua, I like Auntie Lan, too. I'm happy that she can be your mother. But regarding this matter, our say doesn't count, because your father wants to marry someone he wants to spend his whole life with, so he has to like her."
Ling Chunhua nodded, not quite understanding.
"Then Dad doesn't like Aunt Lan?"
"You'll have to ask your father about this. However, you can also tell your father appropriately that you like Aunt Lan. Your father loves you so much, he will definitely give priority to the person you like."
"Yeah, I got it!"
Shao Mo touched her head and asked, "Are you willing to stay in Beijing to study now?"
Ling Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to Dad."
"Okay, then wait until your father comes back and ask him."
"Um."
On this side, Ling Jiang arrived at the store and found that business was particularly good today.
Just after the Chinese New Year, the children received their lucky money, their wallets were bulging, and they wanted to buy the walkman and pager they had longed for.
Ling Chuan seized this business opportunity decisively and launched a preferential package of buying a pager and giving away a walkman for free, which was basically a 10% discount, which attracted a large number of customers to rush to buy it.
Ling Jiang originally came to discuss something with Ling Chuan, but after he came, he also helped sell goods and actually forgot about the business. It was not until Shao Mo came to the store in the evening that she found out that Ling Jiang had not discussed with Ling Chuan about staying in Beijing.
After finishing her work in the evening, Shao Mo took out red envelopes and distributed them to the store employees one by one.
Everyone had received Lingchuan's opening bonus in the morning, but unexpectedly they received another bonus in the evening. The shop assistants were ecstatic and wanted to go out to celebrate immediately.
Shao Mo sponsored 20 yuan and invited the three shop assistants to go out for a midnight snack, while she, Ling Chuan, Ling Jiang and the other two stayed in the store to count the accounts and discuss things.
"Now that the New Year is over and the store's business is booming, I think we can strike while the iron is hot and open a second branch. Brother, if you are willing to stay in Beijing, you can be the store manager of the branch, and then we will transfer two old employees to help you. In addition, the branch will give you 20% of the dry stock dividends every month, which will be regarded as your salary, and 5% of the annual profit will be given as a year-end bonus at the end of the year."
Ling Chuan naturally had no objection to the arrangement for his wife.
The rest depends on Ling Jiang's thoughts.
