Wei Shufen was met with a cold shoulder and could only place her hopes on Yao Na.
Yao Na was also very straightforward. After she brought up the topic, although she was a little shy, she still felt that Han Lei was a good match.
"Of course, he's a teacher at Huaqing now, and he'll be promoted to associate professor very soon," Wei Shufen said smugly.
Actually, studying architecture wasn't very popular back then. The real estate market hadn't developed yet, so the demand was too small. Being a teacher was a good option, but if you wanted to be a designer, you'd have to find projects yourself.
People like Lin Ye and Luo Chunlei, who found projects before even graduating, are extremely rare.
Yao Na rolled her eyes at her inwardly, but on the surface she smiled shyly.
“I’ve already discussed it with my grandfather. He listens to everything I say. As long as I like something, he has no objections. But since so many eyes are watching, the bride price can’t be less.”
Although nothing is certain yet, it's still necessary to take precautions in advance, so that Wei Shufen won't feel that the bride price is too high later on.
To everyone's surprise, she readily agreed:
"As long as you're willing to marry, the bride price will definitely be substantial. Several people in my family earn salaries, so we can still scrape together the bride price."
"My grandpa is worried that I'll suffer, so he said he wants 10,000 yuan. Is that okay?" Yao Na blinked her innocent eyes.
Wei Shufen's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a pang of heartache. She was in charge of all the family's savings, with more than two thousand yuan in the savings account, as well as some gold rings, earrings, and other jewelry. If she pawned them all, she estimated she could raise three thousand yuan.
As for the money Han Lei himself has, he probably has about two thousand yuan, which is not enough for ten thousand!
However, in order not to be looked down upon by Yao Na, he patted his chest and assured her that there were no problems and that he could propose marriage after discussing it with his son.
While Wei Shufen insisted on her own way, Han Lei was so engrossed in his studies that he lost his appetite.
He went to the newspaper office to find Lin Xiaocui, but they told him that she had already resigned.
He went to the courtyard house to look for her, but she stayed inside and wouldn't see him no matter what.
Actually, she really doesn't have time to pay attention to him right now. She's busy researching the preliminary matters for opening a restaurant and has no time to think about him at all.
The location has been chosen; it's not far from Lu Wanqing's clothing store and next to Donglaishun mutton hot pot restaurant, which is also planned to be a hot pot restaurant.
She discovered that there were quite a few southerners in Beijing who liked spicy food, so she decided to find a chef who was going to make spicy hot pot base.
Some people think she chose the wrong location, as she's competing with century-old businesses; it's no wonder she can't win.
She felt that her sister-in-law's words made sense; she wasn't trying to steal other people's business, but rather to share it.
Although they are both hot pot restaurants, they target different groups, so they will not compete with each other and can instead attract more customers.
People's living standards have improved, and they like to eat out for new experiences. She is confident that she can attract more customers.
If she was going to do something, she wanted to do it big. The shop she found had more than a hundred single-story buildings, and the annual rent was 1,500 yuan, which she paid without any hesitation.
She is now learning to draw every day and has even asked Luo Chunlei to take some time out of his busy schedule to help design the store's interior.
While looking for Luo Chunlei, she encountered Han Xue several times.
She greeted him generously and was close to Luo Chunlei, but no longer occasionally put her arm around his shoulder like before.
She could tell that Han Xue had a very good impression of Luo Chunlei.
Luo Chunlei is also very gentle with her, and there is a high possibility that the two will get together.
However, we are all friends, so there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion.
Han Xue, however, thought differently. She called her second brother and launched into a tirade, blaming him for not keeping a close eye on her boyfriend.
"Xiaoxue, did Xiaocui really go to find Chunlei? They even discussed drawing together?"
Han Lei was furious. If he wanted to do renovations, he could have consulted him. Why did he have to go to Luo Chunlei?
On second thought, if the two of them had made up their minds, they would have done so already. What business is it of his? Why is he worrying unnecessarily?
However, he felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn't seen anyone for half a month, and he was going crazy. He had no motivation to do anything.
Seeing him like this, Han Xue couldn't bring herself to accuse him anymore. Instead, she felt a little sorry for him, as the two were in the same boat.
Anxiety overwhelmed him, coupled with being caught in the rain, caused Han Lei to fall ill.
When Lin Xiaocui heard from Han Xue that he had fallen ill, she quickly dropped what she was doing and went to his dormitory to find him.
He declared his plan to settle things with his family before contacting her back, but then claimed he had taken the initiative to contact her, thus ending his own business.
When he saw Lin Xiaocui again and watched her bring him water and medicine, his illness was almost cured, but he still insisted on keeping her with him.
That night, the two lay on the same bed fully clothed and talked about their innermost thoughts.
"Xiaocui, before, like everyone else, the most important thing for a person was to have a stable job. After meeting you, I realized that life can be full of wonderful things and shouldn't be tied down by a job."
From now on, no matter what you do, I will always support you. I will be your strong backing.
Han Lei touched her face and said earnestly.
Even if she is a dazzling star, and her brilliance overshadows him, he will still do his best to protect her.
Lin Xiaocui knew that she had truly fallen in love with the man who had taken her into his heart, and as for his unfriendly mother, she had already forgotten about her.
If all else fails, we can just not get married yet and date for a while.
"Then get well soon and help me design the renovation plans." Lin Xiaocui gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
The temperature inside the room gradually rose, and after a passionate kiss, the two almost crossed the final line.
......
Lu Wanqing's clothing store and wholesale store have become more established, generating a considerable monthly income. After deducting all costs, her monthly net income is around 200,000 yuan.
However, the profits from her clothing store are divided into three parts, and the profits from her wholesale store are divided into two parts, so she receives about 100,000 yuan per month.
This is already a huge sum of money.
This situation lasted for six months. Ah Biao got her driver's license and her savings increased, so she prepared to start expanding.
Now that Ah Biao has amassed a great deal of wealth, he returns to the Li family with much more confidence.
When I finally became wealthy, the humiliating feeling of being dependent on others disappeared. Instead, I felt a sense of detachment, and my rudeness towards the nanny became a matter of indifference and nonchalance.
Whenever he thought about how his wealth could buy the Li family's house, a sum that Li Boxiong could never earn in his entire life, he felt calm as still water.
He used to fantasize that once he had money, he would eat meat every meal and wear the best clothes. Now, he has no interest in these things at all. He is thinking about how to spend the money in his hands to create greater value.
Soon, Lu Wanqing brought him a new opportunity to make money.
This was also told to her by Manager Chen from Gangcheng.
Although the business in the port city only brought in a few thousand yuan a month, she didn't stop.
In addition to her previous specific instructions, Manager Chen immediately informed her about the Poly property's sale to the public.
