Chapter 547: Each Takes What They Need
"Grandpa, we are just ordinary friends." Qin Xiuming replied. He knew that Yu Mingyuan didn't like him. She just wanted to make trouble for Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao, but she promised to help him. Everyone got what they needed, and that was enough.
He had long understood that Mr. Lu would never treat him the same way he treated Lu Jingyou, and he could only fight for what he wanted on his own.
"You don't have to rush to find a girlfriend. Wait a few years to gain experience." Old Master Lu always felt that Qin Xiuming was not mature enough and not steady enough. He had been changing girlfriends for the past two years, and Old Master Lu was very dissatisfied.
Anyway, Lu Jingyou is already married, so he is not in a hurry about Qin Xiuming's marriage. It's not that he doesn't care about him, but Qin Xiuming is not suitable for marriage now, so he should wait for two years to make a decision.
"Yes, I'll listen to Grandpa." Qin Xiuming agreed readily. Seeing that Mr. Lu was in a good mood, he added, "Grandpa, I plan to spend the New Year with my mother this year, and then go directly to Guangzhou."
"Yeah." Mr. Lu nodded. "Call me if you have any questions. Don't worry about your father. We will visit him often."
"Okay." Qin Xiuming looked at Lu Jingyou. Lu Jingyou was concentrating on playing chess and didn't care whether he stayed or left.
Lu Jingyou had known about Qin Xiuming and Yu Mingyuan's relationship for a long time. Yu Mingyuan's intentions were also very clear. It was Qin Xiuming himself who was confused and insisted on getting involved with her.
Lu Jingyou was also disappointed with Qin Xiuming. Qin Xiuming would never understand that the Lu family had recognized him and would not abandon him. As long as he worked hard, everything would be fine.
They have too many ideas and always want to prove themselves. In a sense, Qin Xiuming and Yu Mingyuan are the same type of people, and both of them have very pathological personalities.
Meat is to be eaten in a bowl, not taken out to show off. Happiness is your own business, not for others to see.
While Qin Xiuming was there, Mr. Lu briefly told them about the company's liquidation: "After the liquidation over the past few months, our family's assets are more than its debts. I sold all the properties under the company's name to barely break even. Now all we have left is this old house."
"Dad, as long as you and Mom are healthy, that's all that matters." Lu Jiahe, who also participated in part of the liquidation, had long known the outcome. "We won't make any big investments in the future. Let's just live a peaceful and stable life."
"It's good that you understand." Mr. Lu looked at Qin Xiuming and said earnestly, "Xiuming, I hope you can be down-to-earth and take one step at a time in the future. Don't be like your father, who always tries to take shortcuts."
"I don't blame your father for what happened to our family. I only blame myself for not teaching him well. When he's released, I won't let him shoulder any of the debts. As long as he recognizes his mistakes, our family will be able to make a comeback."
"I understand." Qin Xiuming nodded. In fact, he was not grateful to his grandfather. He was only grateful to his father. His father left him real estate in Yangcheng and also left him a way out.
Lu Jingyou said nothing. He had anticipated this situation and had made sufficient preparations. The bankruptcy of Jiahe Group did not affect him.
In fact, he had long wanted to stop working with the company's old shareholders. The more partners there were, the more conflicts there would be. Even simple matters that could not be decided would only delay business opportunities.
That night, Qin Xiuming returned to Qingyuan. He could not stay in the Lu family any longer. Although Mr. Lu did not make things difficult for him, he felt that everyone who looked at him was reminding him of the money he and his father had lost.
Qin Shuang understood her son and comforted him: "You are grown up now and don't need to rely on the Lu family anymore. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Develop well in Yangcheng. Mom will always be your backer."
"Thank you, Mom." Qin Xiuming looked at Qin Shuang's face, which was full of vicissitudes, and felt guilty. "I didn't let you live a good life. Instead, I made you worry about me. I am sorry for you."
He admitted that he was not as capable or filial as Su Jiaojiao.
He knew very well what Chen Guilan was like before. The current Chen Guilan had no trace of a rural woman at all. Instead, she was more fashionable than those women in the imperial capital, and her mental state was much better than Qin Shuang's.
"If I have to say sorry, it's me who is sorry to you." Ever since Lu Jiaping got into trouble, Qin Shuang has been suffering. She even feels that she brought bad luck to Lu Jiaping.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have gotten so close to him, or even have any other thoughts about him...
She finally understood that there was no possibility for her and Lu Jiaping to be together in this life. For some people, once missed, it will be missed for a lifetime.
If we continue to argue, there will be no good results.
"Mom, my dad's affairs have nothing to do with you." Qin Xiuming knew Qin Shuang's knot in her heart. "It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."
"Yeah, it's all in the past." Qin Shuang murmured, "It's time for me to have my own life."
…
Su Jiaojiao is not idle in Jinyuan either. She talks to Marco Bo every day to discuss products. Marco Bo is responsible for creativity, and she is responsible for cost control. No matter how good the ideas are, they must be down-to-earth and in line with the public's consumption level.
Jiuzhou Millennium is in the clothing business, not luxury goods.
She opposes the use of fancy designs to increase production costs. If a company wants to grow and develop, it must consider the needs of consumers from the perspective of consumers. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher. The key is cost-effectiveness.
Su Jiaojiao also uses her free time to design classic styles. Although she is often ridiculed by Marco Bo for her tacky styles, she knows that these classic styles are the key to attracting customers.
Fashion is a cycle.
There is no eternal hit, only classic clothing, such as jeans, windbreakers, hoodies, etc. By adding a little innovation to the original styles, you can attract a wave of traffic. She has experience in this.
Seeing that Su Jiaojiao was still researching new products during her vacation, Chen Guilan couldn't help but remind her: "You should take a good rest during your vacation. I've never seen you so busy."
"It's all my business sooner or later. If I do more now, I'll do less later." Su Jiaojiao said this, but still put the album away. "Lu Jingyou said he won't be back tonight, so I'll sleep in your room."
She said she came back to accompany Chen Guilan, but in fact she only spoke a few words to her during meals and didn't have a good chat with her mother.
Chen Guilan also had something to ask Su Jiaojiao: "When do you plan to have a child?"
"Mom, we've only been married for half a month..." Su Jiaojiao felt embarrassed by her mother's question, "Let's talk about it after we move to the suburbs of Beijing!"
She told Lu Jingyou that she didn't want it for the time being, and Lu Jingyou agreed, saying that she could have it whenever she wanted and he had no objection.
"I heard from your second aunt that she found a folk remedy that can give you a boy if you want one, or a girl if you want one. She asked if you want one?" Chen Guilan said seriously, "I heard it works, but you have to prepare it beforehand."
"Mom, you can't listen to this." Su Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Anyway, I don't believe it."
