Chapter 196
Wang Shuai's graduation banquet was held with such grandeur that even those who used to gossip in the village stopped.
Old Wang’s family has five children, his granddaughter, his great-granddaughter-in-law, and his grandson, and all five of them passed the exam!
Wang Yuedong's face was broken with laughter. Wang Yuexi's expression was frozen. Wang Chengcai had been working outside for the past two years and didn't tell his family anything. He didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year. Li Xia looked at Wang Chengcai with envy and jealousy. Even a waste like Wang Chengcai was admitted to a university in the capital. Li Xia's heart suddenly relaxed. She felt that she had no hope in this life.
Zhao Chunlan sat at the main table, receiving compliments from friends and relatives who came and went. While eating, Zhao Chunlan suddenly went to the inner room.
Wang Mengmei looked for her mother everywhere but couldn't find her. She saw Zhao Chunlan curled up at the foot of the bed in the inner room.
"...Mom, what are you doing?"
Zhao Chunlan hurriedly covered the things and said, "I'm looking for something, why did you come in?"
Wang Mengmei didn't believe it, so she went up to pull the cardboard cover and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Zhao Chunlan was in a hurry to pick up the girl, but Wang Mengmei happened to see that her eyes were red.
"What are you looking for?"
Zhao Chunlan had no choice but to lift the mattress: "Shuaizi passed the exam, shouldn't I tell your father?"
Wang Mengmei froze in place, Zhao Chunlan was holding a piece of clothing in her hand.
It had been so long that the clothes had turned grey and hairy and looked terrible. However, Zhao Chunlan still folded the clothes neatly and pressed them at her feet.
Zhao Chunlan: "Did you see it? Get out now."
Zhao Chunlan felt extremely embarrassed that her daughter-in-law saw her peeing.
Wang Mengmei felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on her throat.
For many years, she resented Zhao Chunlan. When she was most annoyed, she would send Zhao Chunlan gifts for the New Year while making sarcastic remarks about her. Later, when life got better, Zhao Chunlan played a smaller and smaller role in her life.
Because the proportion is small, Wang Mengmei doesn't think much about her confused mother.
Even if she said stupid things or did stupid things, the little old lady from the countryside, dozens of miles away from Taocheng, could not affect her.
But now seeing Zhao Chunlan's aging appearance, Wang Mengmei feels a little distressed.
"If you want to tell my dad, just go to the grave and tell him. Didn't Yuedong go to the grave to set off firecrackers and burn paper a few days ago?"
Zhao Chunlan rolled her eyes and said, "I won't go. If I go, what if he sees that I'm doing well and gets jealous and wants to seduce me away?"
That old man has no chance of enjoying life, but she does.
In the future, she will have to watch her grandchildren get married and start their own families. She will have to rely on the second half of her life to make up for the shame she suffered in the first half of her life!
Wang Mengmei: …
Wang Mengmei was amused by her mother's self-righteousness: "Then... ask Yuedong to build a stage for you?"
Dad was a good man. In Wang Mengmei's thin memory, her father had once pulled Zhao Chunlan aside and told her not to sell her daughter. He said that if Zhao Chunlan married her daughter badly for the sake of the bride price, he would die with hatred.
Whenever Zhao Chunlan brought up this incident later, she started cursing, naming the man and accusing him of being inconsiderate to her.
The two oldest in the family are daughters of noble families. If the dead man hadn't drawn this line, life wouldn't be so difficult at home.
But after all, Zhao Chunlan finally persevered.
The marriage of Wang Menglan and Wang Mengmei was not the best choice, but it was definitely not the worst.
Wang Mengmei's mother reminded her of her past and she thought of building a platform for her father and putting up a photo of him at home.
After these words were spoken, Zhao Chunlan waved her hands vigorously.
"Why do you do this? You have money but nowhere to spend it?"
Some old ladies in the village don't even want to have a statue of a god, but Zhao Chunlan knows everything about this. She would rather spend the money than not spend it. Even if the old ladies in the countryside have no place to spend their money, she is happy.
"I'm telling you, when I die, you have to get me an expensive coffin. I saw the coffin that Old Zhang's wife had before, the wood was very fine, mine can't be any worse!"
Zhao Chunlan righteously asked her daughter to buy her something expensive. After all, the daughter was rich, and she felt that she deserved a good husband.
If she had not remarried, would these people have had a good life?
Miao Zhuanggen came from the bottom of her heart. She wore this hairstyle very well. The Wang family said that having her as their daughter-in-law was like smoke coming out of their ancestral tomb.
Wang Mengmei: …
"The soup is served. You can go out and have some."
Over the years, we have gone through ups and downs, and when love and hate come to an end, it’s just a matter of letting it go.
Wang Mengmei came out with her mother and took a look at Jian Li, who was the boss at the child's table. She was amusing the child with magic tricks she had learned from somewhere.
Nothing is perfect in this world, just focus on what you have.
…
After Wang Shuai’s graduation party, Jian Li is going to Shanghai for a book signing event.
She cordially invited Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng to join her.
"You haven't been to Shanghai yet? Let's go and have a look around together."
In fact, Jian Li wanted to let her parents see how popular she was during the book signing...
Wang Mengmei saw through it immediately and felt that Jian Li and Jian Feng were cut from the same mold.
To outsiders, he seems modest and cautious, but in fact, as soon as he has some achievements, he wants to show off in front of people close to him.
Let it be, Wang Mengmei is indeed very curious.
So the family decided to go together.
Before leaving, Wang Shuai insisted on going with him.
He was now about 1.78 meters tall, so it was not easy for Wang Yunyun to beat him. Before the small branch hit him, Wang Shuai ran around the yard, explaining as he ran: "I'm going to investigate the market! Sister! Stop beating me! I'm going to investigate the market!"
Wang Yunyun was panting as she chased after him: "Then go by yourself! Why do you have to chase after aunt and uncle?"
Wang Shuai smiled playfully: "I am a grown man, I am afraid of being betrayed if I go out!"
Wang Yunyun glared at him and said, "You are the one who is digging!"
Die for money!
Even though he was given the passbook when he received the notice, he still wanted to take advantage of his aunt's family.
"Why do you save so much money just to watch?"
Wang Shuai: "I will spend it, but I just haven't figured out how to spend it."
Because I haven't thought it through, I always think about preparing for emergencies and not spending lavishly.
Wang Yunyun had no choice but to apologize to Jian Feng and his wife.
Wang Mengmei smiled and said, "It's no big deal, just follow me. We're going out to have fun anyway. Yunyun, do you want to go?"
Wang Yunyun couldn't go out because she had a manuscript to submit.
So Jian Li and her family of three took Wang Shuai with them to Shanghai.
Initially, Jian Li disliked Wang Shuai, but with Wang Shuai calling her "sister" all the time, Jian Li now had a little follower who could do whatever she wanted. It felt good.
The train went from Taocheng to Shanghai. The city's tall buildings left a deep impression on Wang Shuai.
When Jian Li went to the book signing event, Wang Shuai was even more dumbfounded. There were people everywhere, and the enthusiastic looks of the little girls made Wang Shuai dazed. Was this still the sister he knew?
Although I had heard from my parents before that Jian Li was a great painter, but...
When Jian Li returned to the hotel at night, Wang Shuai quietly asked her, "Sister, are you a star now?"
In Wang Shuai’s impression, only celebrities can be so popular.
Jian Li took off her makeup in front of the mirror: "Just an average celebrity."
It's funny to say that after she became famous, someone actually came to her and asked her if she wanted to act in a movie.
Of course Jian Li refused. She felt that with her temper, if she really wanted to debut, she would be criticized online and kicked out of the entertainment industry in a few years.
Wang Shuai scratched his head, and a bold idea came to his mind: "Sister, if I open a store in the future, I will ask you to be my spokesperson, right?"
Jian Li was speechless: "What kind of store do you run?"
Wang Shuai said confidently: "PhS store!"
After brushing her teeth, Jian Li spit out the foam in her mouth and finally came.
Ever since the Chinese New Year, Wang Shuai had been looking at her pager everywhere. Later, after taking the test, Wang Shuai went to work in the only pager store in Taocheng before the results were released. Now that he has come to Shanghai, this guy is out running around the store from morning to night.
Finally...
Jian Li: "How do you plan to drive it?"
Wang Shuai could see the potential of PHS, which meant that she was right. This guy really had some talent for business.
Wang Shuai chuckled and took out his little notebook from his pocket.
"Sister, I remember it all. I found that most people who use Xiaolingtong are young people. I asked people in Shanghai and found that some are office workers and some are college students. But generally speaking, there are fewer college students. But I went to several universities and found that there are quite a few students who can afford it. Many of them look very rich because of their clothes..."
"I also inquired about the cost, but I think what they said was a bit exaggerated. The price of one machine ranges from 3,000 to 4,000, and the cost is not even 2,000."
Wang Shuai became more and more excited as he spoke: "One machine costs less than two thousand. If we buy more, the profit of one machine can be halved!"
Jian Li raised her eyelids: "Well said."
"How do you calculate your capital?"
Wang Shuai got stuck in the shell.
Jian Li: "The cost of one machine is less than 2,000 yuan, so we'll calculate it as 1,000 yuan per machine, 10,000 yuan for 10 machines, plus the cost of store location selection, purchase deposit, labor, electricity and rent..."
You can't drive it without a few hundred thousand to start with.
General Wang's eyes rolled around.
Jian Li knew what was on his mind at a glance.
"You can let me invest, but I want to take the lion's share."
Jian Li had long been optimistic about this boy's ability to make money, and now was actually a good opportunity to join the game. Jian Li herself was busy with her studies, and it was always difficult to handle everything. Wang Shuai was admitted to university, and with this boy's flexibility, it would be easy for him to open a PHS store.
"Think it over carefully."
When it comes to money, Jian Li is unambiguous.
Wang Shuai was confused. He had two options. One was to start his own business, but that would be a slow start. In addition to Xiaolingtong, Wang Shuai actually had many other ideas to make money. He could use the few thousand yuan in his hand to make a profit. Once he reached his goal, he could open a store.
but……
Opportunities are fleeting. Should we take it step by step, or jump in now and make a big splash?
Wang Shuai quickly made up his mind.
"Sister, let's work together!"
Even though it was a small share, Wang Shuai knew that once he got out of this door, he would not be able to get hundreds of thousands of dollars from anyone. Jian Li was his investor, and investors took the lion's share. Wang Shuai did the math and felt that he was not at a disadvantage.
Even if we start over again, some things in our bones cannot be changed. In his whole life, Marshal Wang always wanted to make a lot of money so that people would respect him.
He no longer pursues that in this life.
Wang Yuedong was very satisfied with him after he was admitted to the university. The face that Wang Shuai lacked in his previous life, he already had in this life.
Wang Shuai no longer clings to his family's approval, but after some hesitation he chooses a more risky path.
This made Jian Li couldn't help but sigh that Wang Shuai had come at the right time.
The millennium is an important year in this period. The first step is the successful bid for the Olympic Games, and the second step is joining the WTO. The train of the times is fast enough. As long as you are brave enough and dare to jump on the train, you can make money.
"Come on, let's discuss the profit split."
