The Li family's affairs were just a minor incident for Qian Duoduo, not worth her time or effort.
The next morning, she got up and ate breakfast as usual, then leisurely went upstairs to pack her luggage. Just then, she saw her brother Qian Rao and sister-in-law Wen Yugui coming downstairs carrying large bags and small packages.
Qian Duoduo asked curiously, "Have you two prepared everything?"
Qian Rao smiled and lifted the bag in his hand, replying, "I only brought a few of your sister-in-law's clothes; I can buy the rest over there."
Qian Duoduo nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood. Then, she turned around and her gaze fell on her mother, Jin Jinxiu, who looked reluctant to part. She quickly stepped forward, hugged her mother tightly, and whispered to comfort her, "Mom, I'm going to Harbin to study this time, it's not like I'm never coming back. If you miss me, you can come to Harbin to see me anytime! Bring Dad with you, and I'll treat you to all kinds of delicious food."
Jin Jinxiu smiled helplessly, reached out and gently patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder, and said with emotion, "If you go to Harbin, we'll be a little better off. But if you go to study in a place as far away as Shenzhen, that's really worrying! I won't see you for several years, and I'll really miss you."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I'm still young now, and you're not old either. After I graduate, I'll take you and my dad on a trip to see the beautiful landscapes of our country and the changes in our cities. I'll also buy a camera to take pictures of you and my dad and bring them back to make those old ladies so envious."
Nothing else caught Jin Jinxiu's attention until the last sentence, when she said, "Is that camera expensive? I saw that the cameras in the photo studios in town are huge, and they charge several yuan for taking pictures."
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "You old lady, I have money. Buying a camera is a piece of cake for me. I'll go to Harbin and take a look around to see if there's anything suitable."
Having witnessed the extravagant spending on land purchases and house demolitions in the county town, Jin Jinxiu understood that her eldest daughter and third son were truly well-off, and their family would no longer suffer from the poverty they once endured. Her mindset was slowly changing, a result of Qian Duoduo's subtle influence. After all, her future expenses would undoubtedly be high, and she couldn't keep having Qian Duoduo nagging her.
After Qian Duoduo drove away with Qian Rao and Wen Yugui, she saw Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu leading Xiao Yutong still standing at the door in the rearview mirror. She thought of what her nephew Qian Yibo had told her when he came home from school yesterday, and she said, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, have you two thought about Yibo's studies?"
Qian Rao was taken aback. He looked at Wen Yugui and saw that she also had confusion in her eyes. He then looked at Qian Duoduo, who was driving in front, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "You two parents, is all you care about besides each other and money?"
Wen Yugui wasn't angry. She knew she was just a rural woman, inferior to her sister-in-law in both education and perspective. She leaned forward and asked, "Duoduo, do you know something?"
Qian Duoduo said, "You know Yibo's academic performance is pretty good. Although he's not at the top, he's not bad either."
Qian Rao said, "Absolutely. My son has uncles and aunts like you college students, how could he be lacking?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Do you know what other good qualities your son has?"
This topic startled the couple sitting in the back seat. They exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion on each other's faces. Finally, Qian Rao said, "Sis, can we not beat around the bush? Just say what you want to say!"
Qian Duoduo glanced at the parents in the rearview mirror, sighed, and said, "Yibo has been spotted by a coach from the Harbin Sports School, who wants him to pursue a career in sports."
Qian Rao asked, puzzled, "Huh? What do you mean?"
Qian Duoduo saw that they had arrived at Shenghua Village and saw the Xie brothers. He slowly stopped the car and said, "Sister-in-law, come sit in the passenger seat." He then got out of the car, opened the trunk, and said to the Xie brothers, "Put your things in."
Wen Yugui readily took the passenger seat, as it wasn't appropriate for her, a woman, to be alone in the car when two grown men were getting in. Qian Rao smiled at the two of them, and with the presence of outsiders, the previous topic was dropped.
Along the way, the Xie brothers gradually opened up because of Qian Rao's talkativeness and started chatting with him. They talked about everything from the harvest of their own land to the methods of farming, as well as the grafting of fruit trees in their own garden. They knew everything like the back of their hand. This made Qian Duoduo, who was driving in front, take another look at Xie Jian, who was talking to Qian Rao. This guy is good. If I ever need to set up an experimental field, he would be a great help.
When Qian Duoduo brought the Xie brothers to the county town, they parked the car in front of a newly built two-story building. The eye-catching sign "Wanmao Real Estate" caught the Xie brothers' attention. They looked at each other and saw light and hope in each other's eyes.
After Qian Duoduo parked the car, Qian Mao got out first, and the Xie brothers hurriedly followed suit. It wasn't that they insisted on doing so, but Xie Jun, who was sitting next to them, didn't know how to open the car door. Now that he could get out, they naturally couldn't fall behind. Seeing Qian Duoduo skillfully open the trunk, they felt nothing but envy. They quickly grabbed their things and stood there somewhat bewildered after watching Qian Duoduo lock the car door.
Qian Duoduo turned around and said to them, "Come with me."
The Xie brothers immediately followed him into the clean and bright hall. It was a large hall with many chairs and round tables covered with tablecloths. Were people in this county town so particular?
They didn't dare to look too long and followed Qian Duoduo up the steps. Before they had gone a few steps, they saw their cousin Li Guoqing coming down from above, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. His attire made him look like a city official, which made the Xie brothers' hearts beat even faster.
Li Guoqing was also very happy to see the Xie brothers. He smiled and said, "Brother Dajian, Brother Xiaojun, you're here too."
Qian Duoduo saw that it was a good time and said, "Guoqing, is there something you need?"
Li Guoqing shook his head and said, "I'm fine now."
Qian Duoduo: "Come with me here." After saying that, she continued walking uphill.
The three people behind him followed him upstairs to the sales department, where they saw Qian Gui reading a book. During this time, Qian Gui realized that he was really lacking in knowledge, so he started reading books in his spare time, which benefited him greatly.
As Qian Duoduo walked in, she said to the people behind her, "Come in, everyone."
Qian Gui was taken aback and looked at the three of them. What did that mean?
Qian Duoduo said, "These two are Guoqing's cousins. They've just arrived and are working here. You can arrange for them to start training them. I think we should leave this to Guoqing so he can get familiar with the company first."
Qian Gui nodded and said, "Then why did you lead me here?"
Qian Duoduo pointed at Xie Jun: "He'll be in your department from now on, so keep a close eye on him."
Xie Jun's face lit up. This was his future leader. He was holding a book, so he must love reading. Should he also read some books? Would that be playing to his tastes?
