"If you can't afford it, don't buy it. What are you doing here? Everyone knows that clothes here are quite expensive, and you're buying so many at once. It's really..."
Qian Rui took the card handed back by the cashier and listened to the discussions of the crowd. Perhaps it was because she had experienced too much stimulation this morning. She had just laughed at Liu Chao for being a poor boy, and now the comments about her were even worse. She felt her legs go weak.
Who knew the stimulation could be even more intense.
She saw the "little brother" holding the "poor boy's" hand, and several other children were walking towards her, talking and laughing.
Only then did she understand - they were together.
"Didn't you just say my brother was a poor kid? What about now? How does it feel to be looked down upon? I thought you were so rich, but you wasted so much of my time, and it turns out you're also a poor guy.
"I don't even know what you're so proud of. No matter how well you dress or use things, aren't they all given to you by your family? My brother is a hundred times more noble than you. He's a good student, never idle during the winter and summer vacations, and he earns his own tuition every year. At the age of fourteen, he won first prize for the best youth invention. The prize money was more than enough to buy all these clothes like you, but he never talks about it in front of outsiders. Compared to my brother, who are you?" Jia Dongsheng looked at Qian Rui with an expression that looked like an idiot.
Listening to Jia Dongsheng's words, the surrounding customers all cast admiring glances at Liu Chao. They had never expected such an ordinary-looking teenager to be so promising. Some of the parents who were accompanying their children started to educate them on the spot, clearly viewing Liu Chao as a role model.
Qian Rui was so shocked by this that she could no longer hold back her tears and squatted on the ground, crying loudly.
He looked down on others and was retaliated against by their younger brother.
But who could she blame? She hadn't expected that Liu Chao, who usually looked poor, had such a side besides being a good student. He worked part-time to earn his tuition and even invented things. Most importantly, he had a very capable younger brother, one who seemed to come from a well-off family.
Jia Dongsheng and the others didn't want to listen to Miss Jiao howling here. It was so annoying. After they had taken revenge, the little guys patted their butts and left immediately.
The people around them saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they all went about their business.
Only Miss Qian was left there to continue crying. Even Bai Lianhua took advantage of the chaos and ran away because she felt ashamed.
So when Qian Rui's mother finished her work and came over, she saw her daughter holding a bank card at the cashier counter, crying and gasping for breath.
The result is predictable: Mingfang's father lost his job! Qian Rui didn't even buy clothes, and was dragged home by her mother wearing only a wool sweater.
If only these children went out, the matter would have been kept secret, but they were accompanied by the driver sent by Mr. Liang.
Then the glorious deeds of eleven-year-old Jia Dongsheng spread throughout the compound.
As a result, Mr. Jia also realized that his grandson was really smart.
…
Thinking of his grandson's childhood, Mr. Jia was distracted for a moment.
Jia Dongsheng thought his grandfather disagreed with his decision and felt a little disappointed. After all, he was the only child in the Jia family. If he didn't join the army, his family's status in the military would be completely lost, and the connections they had accumulated would gradually disappear. This was something that neither his grandfather nor his father wanted to see.
In fact, he was completely wrong. Mr. Jia's idea was far beyond his expectations.
"If you want to do business, I won't stop you, but you have to agree to my two conditions." said Mr. Jia.
Jia Dongsheng, who had thought there was no hope, smiled brightly upon hearing this. "You said, there are no need to say two conditions. As long as you agree to let me change my major and do what I want to do, I will agree to anything."
"The first condition is that you have to persist in these two months of training and not give up halfway," said Mr. Jia.
"That's for sure. I would stick to it even without you telling me. What about the second thing?" Jia Dongsheng asked.
"The second condition is that you have to find a way to raise the capital for your business on your own. Your family will not give you any help. If you have no objection, I won't stop you." said Mr. Jia.
When Jia Dongsheng heard this, he was overjoyed. His grandfather was not making conditions at all. This was simply a roundabout way of telling him that he agreed with his decision!
Even though Mr. Jia said that his family would not provide him with any capital or help, which of his friends is short of money?
Especially Liang Yiyi, the pocket money her family gives her adds up to a few million. Her second brother gives her money whenever he has nothing to do. Her family has prepared everything for her, so she has no money to spend. So Liang Yiyi is now a rich woman. If she asks her to borrow money, how can she not borrow money?
As for help from his family? He has friends, so what is he afraid of? It's not a big deal for him.
"What are you thinking about, silly boy? Go eat quickly, otherwise they will be waiting anxiously." Grandpa Jia said with a smile.
"Grandpa, don't you mind at all that I don't go to military school or join the army? Other families hope that their children will inherit the family business, but you don't have that idea?" Jia Dongsheng asked in a low voice.
"Silly boy, when did I ever tell you to join the army in the future? Your father chose to join the army, and I supported him. Now you don't want to be a soldier and want to start a company, and I also support you. Because everyone walks his own path, and choosing the one that suits him is the best choice. As for joining the army, politics, or business, there are top talents in every field, so how can my grandson be bad at it?" said Mr. Jia.
"Grandpa, you are so open-minded and wise. Thank you, Grandpa." Jia Dongsheng said.
"Okay, stop feeding me soup and go eat quickly, otherwise you will be late." said Mr. Jia.
"Yes, grandpa, I'll go eat right away." Jia Dongsheng happily went straight to the dining room. The old man smiled as he looked at his excited grandson.
………………
Liang Yiyi changed her clothes and went downstairs. The old man downstairs was looking at his cake box with a piece of cut cake in front of him.
Ming Huixin saw her daughter coming down from upstairs and gave her a helpless look.
Liang Yiyi glanced at the coffee table and understood instantly.
The old man planned to eat alone today, and he didn't even let his family members share the cake!
"Grandpa, you should eat less cake right after breakfast this morning, otherwise it will be bad for your health." Liang Yiyi said.
"Well, I'll just eat a piece. Look, it's not much. I'll put it all away after I'm done. No one of you should touch it." The old man picked up the plate and asked his granddaughter to check it. There was indeed not much cake on the plate.
"Your grandfather said that this was "transformed" for him by his granddaughter. It's so precious that he won't let anyone else eat it. So now we can only watch here. He didn't give us a single piece, even though he clearly has so much." Liang Jianjun said.
