Chapter 149
On the way back to the city, Wang Mengmei complained to Jian Feng.
"It's not that I'm snobbish and look down on my second brother's family. The truth is, look at Li Xia. Her daughter-in-law hasn't even entered the family yet, and she's already a thief."
Li Xia raised her voice and spilled out every detail.
Today is Zhao Chunlan's birthday. Not only her family members came, but also several cousins. There were dozens of people. After Li Xia finished her talk, she started to make trouble.
She took the initiative to ask whose children had not found a job, and her implicit suggestion was to wait until Wang Chengcai entered the girl's company and then stuff him in.
Wang Mengmei shook her head, not understanding Li Xia's actions.
This time when she came back, she didn't even mention that Jian Feng had opened a company and became a small boss. She just didn't want to cause trouble, so why did Li Xia rush to find trouble? When she went back today, many people asked about the news, but Wang Mengmei only said that he still opened a restaurant and Jian Feng was still delivering goods for others.
For this reason, although Zhao Chunlan took the bracelet, she was still a little disappointed.
After Jian Feng left, she quietly asked Wang Mengmei why Jian Feng was still working for someone else. How could this be possible? As a man, his whole family depended on Wang Mengmei to run a restaurant. It was profitable, but wasn't this just living off her?
Zhao Chunlan tries to stir up her daughter's dissatisfaction with Jian Feng.
Wang Mengmei was so angry at her confused mother that she laughed: "What? I'm divorcing Jian Feng now, and you're introducing me to someone else? Just be quiet, I just want to live a peaceful life. If you want to do this for my own good, stop saying these divisive words."
I don't know which person who was watching the show had persuaded this old lady to do such a thing that only ruined the fun of the family.
Zhao Chunlan was used to being scolded by her daughter, so she cursed her daughter for being unfilial when she heard the remark, and then went out for a walk wearing the gold bracelet.
"I'll have to ask someone to take a look."
At this age, Zhao Chunlan has finally let it go, because none of her children listen to her anyway.
Wang Shuai used to be quite obedient, but now he doesn't listen anymore. He keeps calling Zhao Chunlan "my sister". It's so boring.
However, her unfilial children had brought her a lot of good things in the past few years. Zhao Chunlan simply didn't stay at home and spent the whole day outside talking to people. Among all the old ladies, she lived the best life, which barely made up for her heart that was hurt by her unfilial daughter.
Wang Mengmei suddenly remembered: "To be honest, my sister and I don't look like my mother. But Li Xia looks exactly like my mother."
Not only do they look alike, but the way they talk too, they look like a family.
They all talk nonsense.
"The other girl was well-bred. If it was our little Li, I would be so angry if the man's mother started plotting against her before the wedding ceremony even started."
Jian Feng stepped on the brakes. He was still listening to his wife talking, but when he heard this, he suddenly became alert.
"You're right. When the time comes, we have to look at the other person's parents."
An unreasonable family will not accept a boy, no matter how good he is.
Jian Li, who was listening to her parents' gossip in the back row with great interest: ...
Why are you involving me again?
*****
The career that Jian Feng devoted himself to soon paid off for him.
He quickly recovered a small half of the channels that Kong Guorong had previously wasted, which is a rare speed.
You have to know that the canteens of some units are dominated by those with connections. Kong Guorong thought he was just being a little slack, but in fact, many people were watching him.
As soon as something happens to him, someone from the other side immediately comes to his rescue.
Jian Feng gave gifts and treated people to meals to build relationships, and only then did a few of them come back.
As for the remaining small merchants, they were basically nowhere to be found. Fortunately, Xiao Meng was hardworking and found two sales clerks to work with him. Although they were older women, each one was more talkative than the other. They were all locals and knew many people, so they quickly increased the volume of goods.
During the first half of the year, during the International Women's Day, Labor Day, and Dragon Boat Festival, Jianfeng's gift box sales gradually increased.
Lin Hui receives large orders continuously. During every holiday, she orders a batch of gift boxes to give back to her customers.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and Lin Hui is here again.
When placing the order this time, she specifically asked Jian Feng to leave an empty space in the gift box: "Although your gift box is good, there are still too few choices."
She works in the beauty industry, so the gift box selection must be more diverse.
The food alone is not only monotonous, but also too repetitive.
Lin Hui's original intention in saying this was to give Jian Feng a shot in the arm. She had made so many reservations because of the relationship between the two companies, but business is business, no matter how good the item is, if there aren't enough changes, she'll have to change it a few times.
Jian Feng went back and thought about it, and then told Wang Mengmei that he planned to take Xiao Shi on a business trip to the south.
Wang Mengmei: "Then drive carefully."
Xiaoshi followed, and the two of them could be replaced, so Wang Mengmei was not very worried.
Jian Feng: "It's okay. We won't drive this time. We'll take the train."
The next day, Jian Feng went to Guangzhou with Xiao Shi.
The two went all the way south, stayed in Guangzhou for a few days, and went to the Small Commodity City.
The day before Wang Mengmei's birthday, Jian Feng returned exhausted.
Two men came in carrying four large bags.
Wang Mengmei: "...No, why don't you use logistics? Why do you carry it yourself?"
There are now more than a dozen logistics companies of all sizes in Taocheng, and there are trucks transporting goods from Guangzhou every day.
After opening the sack again, Wang Mengmei was even more speechless.
There are all kinds of odds and ends in there, such as hairpins, hats, water cups, and signing pens...
"Why did you buy these?"
Jian Feng wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and said, "These are all samples. I asked for samples from all the manufacturers I had contact with there."
Lin Hui was right, Jian Feng planned to improve the gift box. But the two grown men were in a dilemma when they went to the factory. They had no idea which of the colorful decorations would suit the aesthetic taste of their female compatriots!
I might as well bring them all back and make a sample display brochure. I have the manufacturers' contact information anyway, so I can just ask for whatever you want.
Jian Feng's trip was fruitful. Not only did he organize the relevant manufacturers into a directory, he also made an agreement with several major gift manufacturers that if all went well, they would send him new product designs every month, and he could pick out the appropriate ones to put in his company's directory.
Wang Mengmei was dumbfounded: "It's distributed every month, won't it be too late for us to get it?"
It's so troublesome to send things back and forth.
Speaking of this, Jian Feng thought of the most important thing.
"No problem, they use computers to send them out. Let's buy a computer too."
Wang Mengmei hesitated for a moment: "Do you know how to use it? It's all in English letters, how do you use it?"
Jian Feng didn't know how to do it either, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Learn! I'll enroll both of us in night school and we'll go to school every night!"
If he went to Xinjiang last time, he saw the blue sky and white clouds and felt the beauty of the prairie.
This time when he went to Guangzhou, he felt what speed meant!
The people there were very efficient in both their words and actions. One step they asked him to go and look at the goods, and the next step they would pack up a bag of samples for him, taking all the issues into consideration.
There was no dinner party, no gifts, everyone was polite and spoke clearly. No matter how small the business was, they saw it and said "good luck, boss" when they saw him off.
Compared to other people's efficiency, Jian Feng feels that he can still work harder.
Learn! Learn nothing! He just doesn’t believe that a computer can be that difficult!
Wang Mengmei: "Hey, hey, hey, you just learn it, why do you want me to learn it?"
She gets a headache when she sees English.
Jian Feng still insisted on dragging her along: "Xiao Li told you to buy a computer before, but you refused. Now that you have bought one, you have to set a good example. Otherwise, when the child grows up, how will you communicate with her?"
After much persuasion, the two of them signed up for night school.
Many years have passed. Jian Feng only has primary school education, and Wang Mengmei has not even finished junior high school. Now they are sitting in the classroom again. Among the young people, they are like green hands.
After Jian Li found out, she was very supportive and put Wang Mengmei on a pedestal: "I told Cheng Yu that you were going to study computer science, and Cheng Yu even praised you!"
Wang Mengmei: "...Why do you speak so quickly?"
Jian Li: "So you have to study hard! Otherwise, if Cheng Yu comes back to ask me, I won't be able to tell her that you didn't learn it."
Wang Mengmei went to school angrily carrying the big schoolbag that Jian Li bought for her.
The situation reversed, and Jian Li's evil mood started to show.
"Mom, don't gossip with your classmates at school, and don't always sleep in class!"
"Compare yourself with others in terms of academic performance, not family conditions."
"Look at other people's children who don't care about their parents. I support you so much. If you can't get into the top three in the exam, how can you be worthy of me?"
…
Suddenly, Jian Li, a senior in high school, had two parents who were also attending school.
Every day when she came home, Jian Li could see her parents reciting Wubi at the desk and demonstrating on paper.
"Wrong, wrong! This stroke is wrong!"
"You are wrong. This is what the teacher taught in class."
"It's so annoying. Don't talk to me. You're messing up my thoughts."
…
The two overwhelmed students had to recite what they had learned to each other.
Lying in bed at night, the two were overwhelmed by the knowledge and didn't want to talk or talk to each other.
No wonder Jian Li said that there was nothing to talk about with her male classmates at school.
With so much study pressure every day, I really don't feel anything when I see the opposite sex.
*****
After class, Jian Li went to find Cheng Yu, who giggled after hearing what she said.
"Your parents are quite interesting."
Very motivated too.
Jian Li's parents are conservatively estimated to be around 40 years old, and they are still actively learning at this age, which further strengthened Cheng Yu's choice.
Jian Li: "Are you still used to being in the science class?"
Cheng Yu: "Not used to it...too tiring."
Having suddenly switched from liberal arts to science, Cheng Yu's grades were almost at the bottom.
Now, two months later, she has finally found a rhythm.
Jian Li admired Cheng Yu very much: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to choose to change your major."
Two days after Cheng Yu came back from the capital, he told Jian Li that he wanted to change his major.
This choice shocked countless people.
With only one year left before the college entrance examination, the student actually wants to change his major, and his parents support him.
The head teacher spoke earnestly to Tao Hanjin and Cheng Song: "With Cheng Yu's grades, as long as she works hard in the last year, she may be able to get into a key school. If you transfer her to another department now, she will face too much pressure, and the result will be hard to predict."
Tao Han was gentle and soft, but her words were firm: "It's okay, this is her own choice, and we parents are mentally prepared."
If I fail this year, I’ll try again next year.
After Cheng Yu visited the game studio, he came back and said that he wanted to develop games and design games in the future.
Cheng Song was originally very happy and thought that since his daughter said this, she would definitely choose to go abroad.
In the end, Cheng Yu said that she wanted to complete her undergraduate studies in the country.
Tao Hanjin talked to his daughter and confirmed that Cheng Yu was not just talking casually, but had really thought it through.
She supported: "No problem, then change the subject."
Cheng Yu found it difficult to keep up with the pace of the provincial experiment, so she hired a tutor for one-on-one instruction.
"Yuyu, remember, life is too long, you must choose to do something you like."
Even if you fail in something you like, it is still a rare experience.
Cheng Yu was successfully transferred to another department, and Jian Li and Cheng Yu were separated into two classes.
Jian Li looked at the dark circles under Cheng Yu's eyes and said distressedly, "You still need to rest well. It's only September now. If you start to endure it now, how can you hold on for the next nine months?"
Cheng Yu: "I don't want to rest."
For the first time in her life, she had something she wanted to do, and she couldn't stop.
"Xiao Li, which university do you want to attend?"
Jian Li said calmly: "My first ambition would be to study history at Capital University."
Cheng Yu smiled: "This time I went to the capital, and I found that Capital University of Technology and Capital University are on the same subway line. I will come to visit you on the weekend."
Jian Li smiled: "Okay."
