Wang Tianxiao keenly noticed that his sister's gaze dimmed considerably after sweeping over a certain spot, so he said, "Don't worry about the cost. It's just a little over a thousand yuan a year, I'll cover it for you. As long as our family produces someone educated, I'll be happy."
"Ah... so much money, who knows what will happen to it?"
Wang Xiaolan was clearly a little insecure, and her earlier excitement disappeared.
That's how it is for children from poor families.
I immediately become timid when it comes to money.
Wang Tianxiao knew that his younger sister definitely wanted to go, after all, it was her dream. However, the requirement of studying for three years, with tuition of 1,800 yuan per year, and room and board provided but still requiring payment, made her a little worried.
Because it would cost a lot of money, I started to wonder if I could actually learn something.
What if I don't learn it? Then the money will have been wasted.
This mindset of expecting a return for every little effort is a typical poor person's mindset.
It's not fair to blame them; it's just that poor people don't really have much. If you put in a lot of effort and get nothing in return, then you end up with nothing.
After the hustle and bustle fades, all that's left is a mess.
Wealthy people can freely try and make mistakes because even if they make a mistake, they still have the opportunity to turn back.
Failure, in itself, is a summary of experience.
"I'll just ask you one question: Do you like literature? Do you want to become a writer in the future and write a good work?"
"Of course I want to."
"Then there's no need to worry about anything else, just register. Let me see, there are still a few months before registration, that's still a long way off. Remember this? I've been busy lately, I might forget about it in a while."
"No need, brother, that's too much money..."
"Not much, not much. Look at all these medicinal herbs covering the mountains. Once I sell them, I'll definitely make a lot of money. It's not easy to pay for your tuition. Don't worry about me. Just focus on working hard and achieving your dreams."
“Brother…” Wang Xiaolan’s tears flowed freely, “Of all my brothers and sisters, you are the best to me.”
Wang Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, then gently rubbed his sister's head. "Silly girl, if I don't treat you well, who will? This is what your brother wants. I'm at ease as long as you're both doing well."
"Yes, I will definitely work hard."
Wang Xiaolan smiled faintly, but tears still clung to her face, like pear blossoms in the rain.
"Go tell your sister-in-law this good news. She will definitely be happy for you. Our Wang family has finally produced a decent cultured person."
"Okay, I'll go in first then."
Wang Tianxiao watched as his younger sister skipped and hopped into his room to find Li Yali, and shook his head and smiled.
He looks like he's over twenty, but he still has the personality of a child.
I don't know how she managed to stay in the South, or how much hardship she endured.
It is even more unclear that in her previous life she never reconciled with her mother and lived a difficult and hasty life.
It turns out that Wang Tianxiao wasn't the only one who felt resentful; many others felt the same way.
After lunch, Wang Tianxiao realized he hadn't seen Zhang Wenyuan for a few days, so he decided to go see him, partly to keep in touch, and partly to discuss future developments.
When they arrived at the Wenyuan Hotel, Zhang Wenyuan was still not there. They waited for a while before he returned.
Seeing Wang Tianxiao sitting on the sofa drinking tea made me very happy, and I almost gave him a big hug.
Wang Tianxiao quickly blocked the other person's enthusiasm and told them that he only liked women.
I don't want to hug or cuddle with men.
Zhang Wenyuan laughed heartily, picked up the cup on his desk and took a few sips of cold tea before saying with a smile, "I haven't seen you lately, and I was wondering what you were up to. I was just thinking of going to your station to see if you were still alive, and then you showed up. Don't you think this is telepathy?"
"Go and connect with your girls on a deeper level, don't drag me into it. I have no interest in that. I'm perfectly normal."
"ruthless."
Zhang Wenyuan didn't joke around. Instead, he opened his bag, took out a bankbook, and handed it to Wang Tianxiao.
"What?"
"Take it, it won't hurt you, what are you afraid of?"
Wang Tianxiao took it and saw that it was an Agricultural Bank of China passbook. He opened it and found that there was 40,000 yuan in cash on it.
He looked at Zhang Wenyuan in surprise, his eyes questioning what he meant.
Zhang Wenyuan smiled and said, "This is your second-quarter bonus."
"From the prefabrication plant?"
“Yes, according to the agreement we signed, you get 20%. From the beginning until June, after deducting all expenses, the net profit is about 190,000. You can get more than 38,000. I rounded it up for you, so it's exactly 40,000.”
"There are so many?"
Wang Tianxiao was not surprised by the dividends; what surprised him was the amount of the dividends.
It's supposed to be a quarter, but since it actually starts at the end of April, it's actually two months, and yet it's generating such great results.
It exceeded his expectations.
He thought it would be at most a little over ten thousand.
"Because all the old utility poles have to be removed and replaced with new ones, there are naturally more orders than we can finish. This is only part of it. There are still many outstanding payments that haven't been collected, and it's not just the towns and villages near us that are getting electricity; the neighboring county is also about to start getting electricity to everyone."
"So, does that mean the business can last a long time?"
"Yes, I just got back from Chi County yesterday. There aren't any decent prefabrication plants there. I've already communicated with the relevant people there and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. If we can secure the entire deal, it will be a very large order."
