Chapter 151
Eighteen years old is a big birthday, and Jian Li also felt a little emotional.
It has been five years since she was reborn.
Having lived several extra decades in her previous life, she has now let go of those regrets.
Her parents' business wasn't big, but they were content with having a modest fortune, and Jian Li was happy with it.
So when Jian Feng took out another property certificate, Jian Li was silent for a long time.
"Dad, didn't you say you had no money?"
Jian Feng made a lot, but he also spent a lot, maintaining relationships, purchasing and storing goods, and paying salaries to a dozen employees...
Jian Li had already made up her mind that if her family couldn't pay back the loan next year, she would take out her own little nest egg to make a donation.
Hearing his daughter's question, Jian Feng pretended to be relaxed: "What do you mean by no money? Your father has plenty of money."
Originally, the purchase of Lin Hui's house was not expected until the end of the year, but Jian Feng suddenly received a large order, and the house issue was solved instantly.
Actually, I got help from Director Qiu on this matter.
Previously, Director Qiu suggested that the couple should attend the symposium. Jian Feng himself had some intention of building a relationship with them, but Wang Mengmei directly said that this was a good thing and she would definitely go.
Jian Feng was a little puzzled. Ever since Wang Mengmei showed off so much in her hometown last year and caused so much trouble, she has always been talking about "keeping a low profile". Why did she suddenly change her mind this time?
Wang Mengmei sighed, "This is different."
This is about helping others.
Wang Mengmei spent one night compiling a dozen recipes for setting up a snack stall, and spent a week perfecting them.
On the day of the symposium, Wang Mengmei went with a pot.
When Jian Feng saw his wife carrying the pot, he also changed into a normal blue khaki jacket. When the couple appeared in this image, Director Qiu was stunned.
"Why are you here so soon?"
Wang Mengmei was not familiar with Director Qiu, so she was a little nervous when she heard this. She explained, "Aren't we training new employees here? I just wanted to bring some products with me to show everyone."
After hearing this, Director Qiu paused for a moment, then relaxed his brows and said, "Okay, go up and talk first, and then I'll vacate an office for you and find you an operating table, don't you?"
Wang Mengmei: "No, no, no... it would be better if there were disposable cups, I would share it with everyone to taste."
Director Qiu called someone over and said, "Go, find some cups and some toothpicks."
Turning around, Director Qiu said with a friendly face: "There are many people here today, please take your time and don't be in a hurry."
After saying that, he winked and asked someone to bring Wang Mengmei to the stage.
This was not the first time that Wang Mengmei spoke in front of a crowd. In the past few years, Jian Li had excellent grades. As an outstanding parent who attended parent-teacher conferences, Wang Mengmei had already honed her ability to speak to a crowd at parent-teacher conferences.
It’s just that this is the first time for so many people.
Wang Mengmei faced the audience of more than 200 people, swallowed her saliva, and then began her speech.
She started with her own experience, telling how she started out by selling steamed buns in the market, then opened a small shop, and then her shop was robbed, and then she continued to do the same thing...
The more you talk, the smoother it becomes.
Most of the people attending the symposium were female compatriots.
After Wang Mengmei finished speaking, she took the initiative to let everyone taste the samples she made, and also took out the booklet she made.
"The snacks listed above are all the ones I have tried and the taste is not a big problem. If you need them, you can come and get some."
The women in the audience looked at Wang Mengmei, who was wearing a knitted sweater and black pants today. She looked pretty and confident, not at all rustic. But such a person, when talking about starting a business, was very knowledgeable, and even talked about the fact that her store had been robbed, she could still tell it with a smile.
A woman in the audience raised her hand first: "I want one!"
Isn't it just getting off the job? If others can stand up, she can too!
Many people raised their hands to grab the food. Some people took a bite of the things Wang Mengmei brought and rushed to grab them without saying a word.
Seeing that the situation was getting more heated than expected, Director Qiu quickly grabbed the clerk beside him.
“Take a picture!”
The clerk took out his camera and took pictures.
Director Qiu was very satisfied with the lively scene.
At this time, several people walked in from outside: "Lao Qiu, this event was very successful."
Director Qiu quickly went up to him and said, "Why are you here? Let me introduce you. This is the husband of the speaker on the stage, Jian Feng. He is now running a grain and oil food company. They are both retired employees of the cotton textile factory. I invited them here to share their advanced experience."
Jian Feng knew nothing about the visitor, but seeing that Director Qiu was very attentive, he guessed that the other party must be of high status, so he quickly extended his hand and shook hands with the man.
The leader-like man asked Jian Feng a few questions, and Jian Feng answered them carefully.
There happened to be a young man who had just started working and was tactless, so he came over carrying Wang Mengmei's big pot.
"Deputy Director Qiu, they don't even want to eat the samples. They're all grabbing the recipes. What do you think we should do?"
Director Qiu quickly made arrangements: "Go find our logistics comrades and print more for everyone. Go quickly."
The young man sighed, ran with the big pot, ran a few steps, then came back and put the pot on the table... Director Qiu's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
Afraid that the young man might make a mistake, they quickly arranged for another experienced person to go with him.
When I turned around again, the leader had already started eating.
Director Qiu: !!!
He quickly smiled and said, "Why are you eating? These are just samples. They must be cold."
The leader picked up a piece of fried meat with a toothpick and put it in his mouth: "It's okay, it tastes good even when it's cold, don't you want to try it?"
Director Qiu gritted his teeth and took two mouthfuls, but he was so nervous that he couldn't taste anything.
Jian Feng, on the other hand, was quite generous at this moment and introduced them to everyone one by one.
"My wife called this toothpick meat. It can be eaten even when it's cold. It's perfect as a side dish for drinking."
"This is mashed potatoes with gravy. My daughter loves it the most. My wife has improved the recipe and can make three flavors: spicy, curry, and black pepper..."
"Meat and egg burgers. I went to the Northeast to buy some. I saw some there. My wife tried to make them at home. I think they are delicious and can be used as breakfast. They should also sell well in front of schools. You need to make a special mold. I asked a blacksmith for the price. The cost is at the back of the booklet."
The leader smiled and said with praise: "You two are really kind-hearted. You even do cost accounting?"
It was also the first time that Jian Feng had dealt with such a person, so he simply said frankly: "I think, either don't do it, or do it better. My wife prepared the recipe, and I helped with the small work. The cost of the few items selected this time is no more than 500 yuan."
"Okay, with your kindness, our work will be easier to carry out, don't you think?"
These words were spoken to Director Qiu, who was so delighted to hear such a comment that his heart blossomed.
"You are right."
The leader left with a few people. After seeing them off, Director Qiu came back with an unconcealable red glow on his face.
He patted Jian Feng on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "You are really lucky, kid."
…
A few days after the symposium ended, Director Qiu asked Jian Feng to go there.
A big pie hit Jian Feng on the head.
"Food and oil for the agency cafeteria, one-year contract period."
Jian Feng was completely stunned and shivered.
Director Qiu: "Is Gao Xing stupid? I told you that showing up more often will be good for you."
Jian Feng's wife brought him a good result. After the symposium that day, at the meeting, he was singled out and praised by the leaders.
Director Qiu took advantage of the opportunity to designate several areas as stall locations. Then he pushed forward and found some stall projects. Although there is not much effect at present, at least he has made something different.
Jian Feng got a big order that fell from the sky, and when he got home he took Wang Mengmei to find Lin Hui to buy a house.
Wang Mengmei hesitated for a moment, as her family still had a loan of 100,000 yuan to pay off.
Jian Feng said without hesitation: "Don't worry about the loan, I will earn it."
In just half a year, he has earned the money that he would have earned in decades before, which gave Jian Feng great confidence in the future.
The two bought Lin Hui's house at the market price. When Lin Hui bought it, the house only cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. Now, the market price has reached 120,000 yuan.
After this transaction, Jian Feng finally felt relieved.
"The house is still in Jian Li's name, right?"
Just consider it as my daughter's 18th birthday present.
After listening to what her father said, Jian Li covered her face.
This... this is so hard not to lie down!
Her parents were striving to become the first generation of rich people, so in the future she could really become the second generation of rich people who just lived a life of idleness and waiting for death.
…
For Jian Li's eighteenth birthday, Jian Feng booked two tables in the hotel.
Wang Yuedong and his wife, Wang Menglan and his wife, and Wang Yunyun, who had specially asked for leave, Wang Shuai, Qian Ping...
Lin Hui also brought a gift, a small box tied with a pink ribbon.
Cheng Yu brought three gifts.
Jian Li nodded: "Is this your gift?"
Cheng Yu smiled and gave her a CD: "I made a computer as a gift for you. Didn't your family also buy a computer? Take it home and have a look."
Jian Li received a lot of gifts and was almost overwhelmed by happiness.
I sat in the living room and took it apart for a long time in the evening.
Wang Yunyun gave her a few books, but the difference was that all of them were signed. This showed that Wang Yunyun had done quite well in her writing in the past few years, and even had her own circle.
Wang Shuai’s character as a door-sitter remains unchanged, and he gave Jian Li a set of hand-carved wooden puppies and cats.
Qian Ping was very generous. When he opened the box, there was a bottle of perfume inside, and it was of a very famous brand.
…
Jian Li keeps everyone she cherishes by her side.
When she got to Chengyu, Jian Li turned on the computer and inserted the CD. A short block animation popped up on the page, with a little monkey jumping around and then scattering a bunch of flowers.
【Happy birthday to my best friend Jian Li! 】
Jian Li felt warm in her heart.
What surprised Jian Li the most were the gifts from Aunt Lin Hui and Brother Cheng Yu.
Aunt Lin Hui's gift was a few prisms glued together. Jian Li racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Aunt Lin Hui would give her this.
I always feel that according to Aunt Lin Hui's habit, she would not give this as a gift.
Inside the box was a piece of paper from Aunt Lin Hui, asking her to hang the prism on the window.
Jian Li looked out the window. It was already very late and there was no light even when she hung up.
Jian Li put the prism into a box and put it away carefully. No matter what, it was a token of someone else's thoughtfulness.
What Cheng Yu's brother gave me was a sparkling yellow pendant.
[Hello, classmate Jian Li, thank you for helping my sister. This Fanta stone pendant is for you. I hope you can achieve academic success in the future.]
The warm yellow gemstone was made into the shape of a sun, and Jian Li wore it around her neck to admire herself for a while.
Then leave a message to Cheng Yu in the computer chat room.
"Our brother is really good at judging beauty."
