Chapter 252 One is greedy for money, the other is lustful
Chen Fanglan had just paid off her debts, but now she's saddled with another one.
The stock market is so booming, it's tempting, but I still shook my head and said:
"No, it's been rising for so long, it might fall any day now, and it'll be too late for me to buy now. Besides, I already owe you something."
"Instead of thinking about the stock market, I should focus on developing Platinum Joy Skin Research Institute. Look, in just one year, I have already paid off the hundreds of thousands I borrowed back then. If I develop it for a few more years, your aunt will be a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire."
She knows people who have gone bankrupt from stock trading, so even if she's tempted, she doesn't dare to buy stocks easily.
In her view, this is nothing short of another form of gambling.
They are not much different from gamblers.
With the shipbuilding stock that Shen Xuewei held onto rising for several consecutive days, and several other stocks also showing promising gains, Shen Xuewei's net worth had already exceeded ten million.
The low-profile millionaire, Shen Xuewei, looked at Chen Fanglan, whose dream was to become a millionaire, and sincerely said:
"Then I wish my aunt a speedy rise to become a multi-millionaire."
Chen Fanglan developed Platinum Joy Skin Research Institute, so didn't Shen Xuewei also get a share of the credit?
She is also a shareholder of Platinum Joy Skin Research Institute, holding 25% of its shares.
Chen Fanglan's wealth will also bring her wealth, and she eagerly anticipates that day.
Chen Fanglan smiled broadly and put her arm around Shen Xuewei's shoulder as they entered the small restaurant.
"Don't worry, your aunt is confident that the beauty salon won't go out of business."
She winked at Shen Xuewei, "You think I went to Hong Kong to find Dong Lei for nothing? I went there to learn from her."
Her eyes were full of envy. "I used to think I had done quite well. But after visiting her, I realized that my achievements were nothing compared to hers..."
Shen Xuewei ordered two dishes and pushed the menu in front of Chen Fanglan, letting her order what she wanted.
"Auntie, you've done a great job. Everything has to be done step by step. You can't become fat in one bite."
Chen Fanglan flipped through the menu in her hand, checked off two dishes, and handed them to the waiter.
"That's true. I couldn't live that kind of life. It's a wonder she could endure it and even get shares from her husband to gain experience in the company's management..."
Although Liang Donglei successfully rose to become Mrs. Yang from among many lovers, it doesn't mean that the wealthy businessman surnamed Yang would give up his many mistresses and only stay with her.
Fortunately, the only child of the wealthy businessman surnamed Yang was born from her womb.
As long as the child is well and she doesn't do anything foolish, Mrs. Yang's position is rock-solid and no one can shake it.
Having endured for so many years, Liang Donglei is certainly not a fool.
She not only didn't mind her wealthy husband's extramarital affairs, but she would even take the initiative to arrange them for him.
She earned the satisfaction of her wealthy husband, who praised her for being considerate and generous, saying she was better than the previous one.
Liang Donglei also took this opportunity to successfully infiltrate the company and gradually get closer to the core of the company.
She approached this man, who was more than twenty years older than her, not for some vague love, but for practical benefits.
To put it bluntly, one was greedy for money, and the other was lustful; they each got what they wanted.
As for true feelings... both of them have put their true feelings into their child, so they can be considered to have some sincerity.
Based on Chen Fanglan's understanding of Liang Donglei, it's likely that Liang Donglei, after becoming Empress Dowager Yang, genuinely hopes her husband will die soon.
As the dishes were gradually served, the two ate slowly while chatting.
Shen Xuewei stayed with Chen Fanglan for two more days, and finally the day to receive her report card arrived.
She went to school to pick up her report card and came back to find her ranking.
Well, I'm back to fourth place again, still dragged down by science.
The results weren't exactly a decline; although the ranking dropped one place, overall I'm still satisfied.
After leaving the school, she returned to her residence to pack her things.
She bought some gifts for her close relatives and friends, which were already packed and placed in the living room. They could take the gifts and go straight back to Xiaoli Village.
Despite feeling nauseous from motion sickness, Shen Xuewei got off the bus at the entrance of Xiaoli Village more than two hours later.
At the entrance of the Chen family's residence, two guardians sat on either side, namely Granny Chen and Granny Xi.
Grandma Xi looked at Granny Chen for the umpteenth time, "I've told you, it's cold outside, don't sit by the door all day, but you just won't listen. If you get sick, you'll cause me all this trouble..."
She kept talking incessantly, not caring that Granny Chen was deaf and couldn't hear her at all.
Although he was complaining, he noticed that the charcoal in the brazier at Granny Chen's feet was almost burned out, so he patted his bottom, got up, and added a few pieces of charcoal.
Shen Xuewei saw the two of them sitting at the door from afar, waved to them, and shouted, "Great-Grandma, Grandma, I'm back!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Grandma Xi immediately stood up as soon as she sat down.
"Hey, you're back!"
As she responded, she quickly walked to the roadside to greet Shen Xuewei.
Seeing the large bags at Shen Xuewei's feet, she exclaimed, "Why did you bring back so much stuff? How much money did this cost...?"
Shen Xuewei was used to her grandmother's attitude, and simply smiled and said, "It's not expensive, it's all from sales."
Afraid that her grandmother would nag endlessly, she pleaded, "Oh, Grandma, please stop talking. Let's go home. It's so cold outside, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold..."
At this point, she even pretended to sniff.
Seeing this, Grandma Xi no longer cared about saying anything about Shen Xuewei wasting money.
"It's cold. Go back inside. There's a fire burning inside. Hurry home and warm yourself by the fire, or you'll catch a cold."
The two carried their things and walked home.
Shen Xuewei put the things in the living room, then squatted down in front of Granny Chen by the door and shouted:
"Grandma, what are you doing here?"
Granny Chen's cloudy eyes flickered, and when she saw Shen Xuewei standing in front of her, she smiled.
"It's Vivi back."
"Be good, Weiwei, don't block Grandma's way. Grandma will give you something sweet later."
Shen Xuewei touched her face and frowned slightly.
Sitting outside in this cold weather, with the wind blowing so cold on my face, how can someone so old stand it?
She glanced at Grandma Xi, who was standing in the room with a helpless expression, stretched her neck, and moved closer to Grandma Chen, completely blocking her view.
Wherever Granny Chen moved, she blocked her way.
The two remained locked in this stalemate for more than ten minutes. Unable to bear Shen Xuewei's torment any longer, Granny Chen picked up her cane from the side, stood up shakily with the cane, and looked very unhappy.
Having succeeded, Shen Xuewei picked up the fire basket from the ground and, with a grin, helped her back into the house.
Grandma Xi watched this scene, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and kept praising Shen Xuewei.
“Weiwei is really something, she can handle your great-grandmother. I have no way to deal with her. If I stand in her way, she not only curses at me, but also tries to hit me with her cane…”
Shen Xuewei sighed, "Grandma, will Uncle Fu come to visit us for the New Year this year?"
Fu Biaojiu was Chen Taipo's grandson.
Grandma Chen sat at the door, probably wanting to see her grandson.
