Chapter 687
When I returned to Yongcheng, Wang Dachui was talking on the phone in the living room, his voice loud and clear:
"...Yes, my niece will have my last name, Wang, from now on. I'd like to trouble Principal Zhang to take good care of her... I've asked Mr. Li from the Education Commission to handle the admission procedures."
After hanging up the phone, he saw Liu Xu and Liu Zhaodi coming in. He waved and pointed to a piece of red paper on the coffee table:
"Come and take a look. I had the Taoist priest calculate the name above. From now on, Zhaodi's surname will be Wang, and her name will be Wang Yue, which means "joyful." I've also informed the police station, and I'll go transfer her household registration here tomorrow."
Liu Zhaodi carefully picked up the red paper, on which was written her birth date and her new name written with a brush.
Wang Yue, it sounds really nice, like the name of a city person.
She suddenly remembered what the warden had said when she was in the juvenile detention center:
"If you make a mistake, you must correct it. A name also represents a new beginning. When you get out, you can change your name and start over."
At that time she just thought it was ridiculous. How could a name change anything?
But now, holding this red paper, my palms are sweating.
Wang Dachui took out several documents from his briefcase:
"I'm going to the police station tomorrow to register my household registration. The transfer certificate has been issued. I definitely can't go to No. 1 Middle School, so I'll go to Minzhong next semester.
After you get in, just behave yourself and don't cause trouble. You are not required to have good grades, but at least don't be illiterate. Get a degree and we will arrange for you to go to a technical secondary school.
Also, I heard from Lao Li that the Children's Palace has opened a dance class, which will be held every Tuesday and Friday during the summer vacation, and his daughter has signed up.
"Xiao Xu, take Wang Yue to sign up too. I want her to be able to dance by the end of this summer, so keep a close eye on her."
Liu Zhaodi moved her lips and said, "It would cost a lot of money to enroll in a class, right? I can just study at home with my aunt."
Wang Dachui said nonchalantly: "A few hundred yuan is nothing. I'm not training you. I don't just want you to be able to dance.
What's important is that you take this course and enter this class, understand? Many of the students in this class are children of cadres, so you should get to know them well."
Late at night, Liu Zhaodi was awakened by the quarrel in the living room. It was Wang Dachui and Liu Xu.
She leaned against the door panel and listened to the conversation between the two people in a deliberately low voice.
"...Why do you insist on keeping her here? What if she causes trouble again..."
"What do you know?" Wang Dachui's voice was filled with impatience.
"I asked you to bring Su Miao back before, but you ruined the relationship.
And she's too smart to be controlled. This girl is different. She has no way out and can only listen to me obediently. Besides..."
His voice lowered even more: "Haven't you always wanted a child? If you raise one well, it might be more useful than your own."
Liu Zhaodi leaned against the door, her whole body cold.
She knew since yesterday that in Wang Dachui's eyes, she could not be a "daughter", but just a tool that could be manipulated at will.
She thought of herself in the new dress in the mirror of the department store, and the old clothes thrown into the trash.
It turns out that the so-called "goodbye to the old life" is nothing more than jumping from one cage into another more gorgeous cage.
However, in the gorgeous cage, at least there is no shortage of food and drink, and at least she can show off in front of others. This is the living condition that many people dream of. In order to get these, she can give up everything else.
Liu Zhaodi let out a long sigh, and the expression on her face suddenly became relaxed yet determined.
Sleep! Tomorrow is her first day as "Wang Yue".
She had to learn to smile, learn to be obedient, and learn to play the role of a perfect daughter in front of Wang Dachui and Liu Xu.
From then on, she was the daughter of a wealthy family and had the same confidence as Su Miao. Wherever she went, there would be people praising her and liking her.
She is no longer that country girl...
As she thought about this, she felt her mind gradually become empty and soon fell asleep again.
The cicadas outside the window started chirping again at some point, loud and sharp, as if they were accompanying this scam called "rebirth".
The "canary" in the cage had already opened its wolf-like eyes in the darkness.
…
Su Miao was not aware of the turmoil in the Wang family for the time being, but she would be very busy during this period.
Little Fatty returned triumphantly from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
He immediately brought the accountant over and showed the purchased stocks to Su Miao.
100 shares of Yuyuan, 25 shares of Feiyue, and 100 shares of Yanzhong, with a total investment of 15,050.
After the liquidation of "Anda", Su Miao had 120,000 yuan. Excluding this investment, Brother Xiaopang will transfer the remaining money to her passbook tomorrow.
The fat guy felt that he had done something extraordinary, and was happily drinking the milk tea and konjac juice that Su Miao had offered him.
"Miao~ I, your brother, have tried every possible way, but I can only gather this much. It's 50-50 with you!
After all, that is not our territory. If it were in Nancheng, I could buy several times more!
Ever since the news of the Shanghai Stock Exchange's official opening came out, the market has become increasingly frenzied. Everyone, young and old, men and women are talking about stock speculation, but few are willing to sell their shares.
Su Miao looked at the certificates and smiled happily: "Hehe! Brother! There are very few people reducing their positions in this hot market now. It's quite impressive that you can buy so many!"
Wait, sister, I won’t lie to you. Just wait for a year, and your efforts will not be in vain.”
"Of course I believe in your ability, that's why I rushed forward so boldly! Look, after not seeing you for a few days, you've actually made such delicious snacks again, and they've become a big hit."
Brother Xiaopang can’t eat spicy food very well, but now he can tolerate slightly spicy food, which he finds spicy and satisfying.
Su Miao happily talked about his plan:
"Speaking of this Konjac Cool, after a week of promotion, our daily output of 4,000 packs is no longer enough to sell. Once the new machine arrives, I will increase production."
"So, should the machine be placed in a workshop or a factory?"
"It's a tunnel-type drying machine that's about the size of a small room. It has more space in the factory. Besides, the konjac puff and papaya shreds need to be used separately." Su Miao gestured with his hands to indicate the size.
Xiaopang had never seen this kind of dryer before, so he imagined what it looked like:
"A tunnel-like drying machine? Such a large order? Damn... You've always said there's always a shortage of stock in Beijing. With this large machine, it should alleviate the problem a bit."
"Yes, the most time-consuming step in making konjac noodles and papaya shreds is drying them in the sun. Now, the two-day drying time has been shortened to a few hours, so the output has increased dramatically.
Now we are planning to adopt a combination of pre-drying and drying. I plan to talk to the villagers to expand the factory area a little bit more.
Expanding the factory takes time, and it’s also a preparation for future development.”
