Chapter 115: One Thousand Pocket Money a Month
The three-day college entrance examination ended quickly. Although Wen Jing was confident, the weather was too hot and there was no air conditioning in the examination room, only a few ceiling fans.
After the test, like most people, she felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, stomach churning, loss of appetite, and was very uncomfortable.
Deng Xiuzhen took her to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed her with mild heatstroke and told her to go home, drink some salt water, and rest in the shade.
As soon as the two returned home, Fang Mei came and brought them chilled watermelon and fruits, as well as a box of Jianlibao.
Fang Mei said: "I was planning to send it here two days ago, but my mom said that we shouldn't eat anything during the college entrance examination. If we get an upset stomach, that would be terrible, so I waited until today to come."
Deng Xiuzhen thanked Wen Jing repeatedly, boiled a cup of salt water for her to drink, and asked her to go to her room to rest.
Then talk to Fang Mei outside.
Fang Mei told Deng Xiuzhen that the house had been renovated, but it would not be a good idea to move in right after it was completed, so it would be better to wait until the paint smell dissipated.
Deng Xiuzhen agreed.
Fang Mei thought for a moment and leaned close to Deng Xiuzhen and whispered, "Guomin said that Tan Yanlin was beaten and transferred to the provincial government. Did you know that?"
"I know," Deng Xiuzhen replied, and then told Fang Mei everything that happened that day.
She told her that she had gone to see him in Pucheng, but was driven away by Tan Yanlin's family. Later, she asked and the doctor said that he had been transferred to the provincial hospital. Considering that Tan Yanlin had someone to take care of him and Wen Jing could not leave for the college entrance examination, she did not go.
"It must be the old witch causing trouble!" Fang Mei cursed angrily.
"That's definitely not a good guy!" Deng Xiuzhen thought so from the bottom of her heart.
"So what are you going to do? Do you want to intervene? But I don't think they will let you participate. You left the house with nothing last time, and they won't let you go back. They're afraid that you will remarry Tan Yanlin and divide up the property.
To be honest, you didn't take a penny, I don't think it's worth it for you, but looking at the behavior of their family, I don't really agree with you going back." Fang Mei was somewhat truthful.
“When Wenjing gets better, I’ll take her to the provincial capital to see him. After all, that’s her father.
Wen Jing is a strong-willed child, but she is kind-hearted and loyal. She came out with me not because she has a bad relationship with her father, but because she wanted to protect me. In fact, she has deep feelings for her father. Once she knew about her father's affairs, she would definitely go.
So I planned to tell her after she finished her exams, but she got sick again. I thought I would wait until she got better before going, to avoid her getting anxious and becoming sensible, which would not affect her health.
If I rest for a night and feel better, we can go tomorrow. If it’s later, I’m afraid Wen Jing will blame me if she finds out.” Deng Xiuzhen said.
"Tomorrow?" Fang Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Guomin take you there tomorrow. He just bought a car."
"No way! How can we let him take us? We can just take the train." Deng Xiuzhen quickly refused.
"Sister, please don't be so formal! Besides, if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Wen Jing, right? It's so hot, the provincial capital is even hotter, I heard it's like a furnace.
Wen Jing is still sick, can she handle the heat?" After Fang Mei and Qi Guomin heard that she was divorced, they agreed not to call Deng Xiuzhen "sister-in-law" anymore, but "sister" instead.
Considering Wen Jing's health, thinking that Li Qiumei would definitely make trouble after she went there, Wen Jing was afraid that she would be emotionally agitated. By then, she would be tired, hot, and emotional, which would easily damage her health, so Deng Xiuzhen did not hesitate.
At the Provincial People's Hospital, discussions began again without reaching a consensus.
A dozen people were divided into two factions.
One group is the "clean-handed" group, headed by Tan Yanjun and with Li Qiumei as their capable assistant. Their opinion is to take over Tan Yanlin's company as soon as possible, firstly to facilitate the development and management of the company, and secondly to prevent the family wealth from falling into the hands of outsiders.
One group is a conservative wait-and-see group headed by Tan Yanbin and assisted by the fourth sister Tan Yuxiang. They believe that Tan Yanlin is no longer in danger of death. Although they don't know whether he can wake up, he may wake up. As a close relative, the main thing now is to treat Tan Yanlin, and the property issue can be discussed later.
"The doctor said that it's unclear when Yanlin will wake up, and the company needs someone to arrange things.
If no one is in charge, the people in the company will make all the decisions. If they collude privately, they might be able to empty the company. "Tan Yanjun spoke in an orderly manner and his analysis was reasonable and on point.
Everyone thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Even Tan Yanbin and Tan Yuxiang could not say anything against it. They only asked Wen Xin and Wen Yu: "Your father is in a coma now. You are Yan Lin's children. The company should belong to you, but you are still young and you definitely don't know how to manage it. Do you want your uncles to help you manage the company, or do you want your mother to manage it?"
Qin Yanbin believes that although Yanlin and Xiuzhen are divorced and the two children are with Yanlin, the mother-child relationship cannot be severed by the divorce of their parents, and they will definitely support Deng Xiuzhen.
As long as the child chooses to let Deng Xiuzhen take care of the child, he will do his best to support her. After all, he knows his elder brother too well: if you eat something, you will never spit it out!
What shocked him was that Wen Xin and Wen Yu immediately said, "We'd like our uncle to help us manage it!"
Tan Yanjun smiled proudly, everything was under his control.
Yesterday he had sweetened Wen Xin and Wen Yu's heart: if they let him help run the company, he would give them one thousand yuan each in pocket money a month, and when they graduated from university, he would return the company to them.
Wen Yu was so shocked by the one thousand yuan pocket money a month that he didn't know which way was which.
In Pucheng, where the average monthly salary was only 800 yuan, 1,000 yuan a month could support a family.
This amount was simply irresistible to an immature twelve-year-old boy.
Wen Yu agreed very quickly and with a firm attitude.
Wenxin is more thoughtful and has also thought about whether her uncle will not return the management company to her in the future?
But the temptation of a thousand pocket money a month is too great.
If she earns one thousand a month, she can spend money freely and beat those young ladies in seconds.
Although Deng Xiuzhen is in charge, she will definitely consider them wholeheartedly.
But Deng Xiuzhen only gave her two to five dollars a day, not even on weekends, so it was less than a hundred dollars a month.
One thousand versus one hundred, dressing like a bumpkin versus adapting to the trend, Wen Xin did not hesitate much, asked Qin Yanjun to write a document as a guarantee, and then signed the contract.
He didn't even look at the specific contents of the contract. In her opinion, having that document was enough to be safe.
"Wen Xin, Wen Yu, do you want to reconsider it?" After being shocked, Qin Yanbin made a final struggle.
"Uncle, we have already made up our mind. Let your uncle help us manage it. Your uncle has worked in a large state-owned enterprise. He has come into contact with many people, has a lot of experience, and has a wide network of contacts. We can rest assured to leave it to your uncle!" Wen Xin kept in mind what Tan Yanjun and Li Qiumei said yesterday.
