The guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Shen Qingqing also went to great lengths to politely decline further thanks from Zheng's parents.
As they left the restaurant after dinner, Mr. Zheng said to Shen Qingqing in a friendly tone, "Little sister, if you ever want to buy a house in Guangcheng in the future, you can come and find Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng will definitely give you a preferential price!"
Shen Qingqing blinked. "Uncle Zheng, you're in the real estate business?"
Mr. Zheng was taken aback, then replied, "Yes, what's wrong? Is your family planning to buy a house in Guangcheng?"
Shen Qingqing honestly shook her head: "I don't have that plan yet, but I definitely will if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Seeing this, Zheng's father smiled and said, "If you want to buy a house, you'd better do it sooner rather than later. The housing market waits for no one!"
"Yes, Uncle Zheng! I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me then!" Shen Qingqing raised the note in her hand and waved it at Zheng's father.
"Haha, no problem, no problem!" Father Zheng was amused by Shen Qingqing's serious manner of speaking like an adult.
After watching the three members of the Zheng family leave, Shen Qingqing followed her teachers back to the hotel.
The fact that the Zheng family were real estate developers was indeed a surprise to Shen Qingqing.
Although they don't have the money to buy a house right now, who can say for sure when they will?
Especially after the Heng family real estate company's massive financial collapse in later years, many people who bought their properties lost both their money and their homes, and were also burdened with bank loans.
In the future, my uncle's company and my mother's brand will certainly not be limited to Chaocheng. Even Uncle Jingyuan's clothing company will definitely expand to better cities.
And the first thing to do when relocating is to have land.
If they can acquire it at a lower price, that would be a huge advantage for them in terms of competitive pricing.
After all, in later generations, it was not uncommon for the prices of goods to be raised again and again due to excessively high rents, which eventually became the last straw that broke the back of shops and companies.
After returning to the hotel, Shen Qingqing folded the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and put it in the lining of her pencil case.
The competition, which lasted for three or four months, finally came to an end. With nothing on her mind, Shen Qingqing went home and slept soundly for days.
Li Xunli has finally finished Zhang Hengyun's order, and can now relax a bit for the New Year.
In Li Xunjin's Spring Festival gift boxes, each one also has a jade-like Ruyi knot as an accessory. No matter how many pendants are made, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, although Li Xunjin has several gift box orders, each with a hundred or so, not every order requires a jade-like porcelain pendant.
The required quantity wasn't large, so Li Xunli finished it in her spare time and handed it over to Li Xunjin two days before he shipped it out.
Chen Manyu, however, surprised Li Xunli quite a bit.
Chen Manyu is not interested in small and medium-sized porcelain, but he is very talented in making tea sets. Although he only roughly throws the clay and fires it simply, the finished products have a unique aesthetic.
Li Xunli began to teach him something more advanced.
However, she also realized that she needed to find a suitable master to guide Chen Manyu. With such talent, there was no need to waste it by keeping him with her.
However, the most skilled teaware and porcelain masters in Chaozhou are very particular about their family traditions, so finding a truly dedicated teacher for Chen Manyu is not an easy task.
Li Xunli watched as the sky gradually darkened; even when the kiln wasn't firing, it was unbearably cold.
She looked at Chen Manyu, who was still pounding the raw materials, and said, "Manyu, go home. You don't need to come to pound materials every day anymore. Auntie finished all the work here before the New Year!"
Hearing the voice, Chen Manyu shifted his gaze from the small portfolio spread out on the bench next to him and looked at Li Xunli: "Pound all the materials properly, it will be more convenient later!"
After saying that, he ignored what Li Xunli said next and buried himself in pounding the material. His hands and feet moved non-stop, and the loud noise of the material being smashed did not stop him from silently reciting the words on the card book.
Unable to persuade him, Li Xunli could only let him be.
As the year draws to a close, Zhang Zeqin's company is in a hurry to ship several batches of goods to avoid affecting the holiday. As a result, the number of trips from Shen Rongzhou has been increased from two to three per day, and they usually return at one or two in the morning.
However, I got home before 11 p.m. tonight.
Shen Qingqing, who was still awake, quickly brought out the chicken soup that was kept warm in the rice cooker for him.
After washing his face and hands, Shen Rongzhou brought some new information while drinking chicken soup: "General Manager Zhang told us that he has three adult high school enrollment spots. If any of us want to continue our studies, we can register with him after the New Year. He will take care of it for us, but we will have to pay the tuition ourselves."
Shen Qingqing, who had been lying on the dining table, immediately sat up and said to her father, "Then Dad, you should go and sign up!"
Shen Rongzhou glanced at her and continued, "But it's a private school, and the tuition is 1,200 yuan per semester, not including the cost of books and such."
The advantage is that students can arrange their class time according to their own schedule, and as long as they can complete the graduation exam, they can get a diploma.
However, there is also a problem: this private school charges fees by semester. If you don't finish your studies, you have to keep studying until you pass the exam and get your diploma. You will definitely have to keep paying fees until you get your diploma.
Moreover, Shen Rongzhou said that when he was in junior high school, the middle schools in his hometown did not have English.
In other words, if he goes to adult high school, he will not only have to pick up the basic knowledge of subjects such as Chinese and mathematics, but also learn a completely new language.
