Hearing his words, Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
So this kid wants to follow her and sell clothes?
You should have told me earlier. They have suffered so much this semester by hiding it from me.
Looking at his calloused hands, Song Shiwei felt a little distressed.
If she had known that he had this idea, she would never have let him go out to do odd jobs for the past few months.
But Song Shiwei was still afraid that he was just acting rashly, so she confirmed it again and again.
"Zhou Cheng, are you sure you really don't want to go to school? If you don't go to school, you won't have the chance to go back in the future. And what Mom wants to tell you is that if you want to make a lot of money in the future, you must be educated. Educated people are more capable and have a longer-term vision. Only then can they lead a company to a higher position, expand beyond the country, and even go international!"
"Just imagine, now that our country has opened up and reformed, we will inevitably have to deal with foreigners. If a foreigner comes to buy our products and speaks English, can you understand him?"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were so excited by her words that they were also a little confused, but they still shook their heads subconsciously.
If there are foreigners who come to them to buy things and speak foreign languages, they really can't understand!
Because we don’t learn English in primary school, okay?
But after Zhou Cheng came to his senses, he fell into deep thought.
Yes, Mom was right. He originally thought that if he started doing business since elementary school, he would definitely learn more and make more money than others.
But now he felt that he was narrow-minded.
If the time comes for him to deal with foreigners, he can be sure that people who can speak foreign languages will sell more things than him.
Song Shiwei saw that he was beginning to understand.
He continued, "Also, we won't always be selling clothes in the future. We might open a factory or a company. A factory would have at least a few hundred people. Do you know how to manage it? Do you know how to sell the products you produce? These are all things you need to learn! It also requires vision, knowledge, and ability!"
Zhou Cheng looked up blankly: "Then, where can I learn these?"
Song Shi smiled.
"University! University offers programs like business administration, marketing, and even economics, which studies the national economy! By then, you won't just be learning about our own country's economy; you'll even be able to understand the economic situation of countries around the world. Then, you can assess the situation and make the best choice for yourself!"
Song Shiwei's words seemed to have opened another door for them in an instant. Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were stunned, but their hearts were burning with excitement!
It is said that there are always people better than you, and the same is true for business.
Zhou Cheng currently only saw that they could make a lot of money selling clothes, but he never imagined that in the future, they would be able to open factories, start companies, and even go abroad to deal with foreigners.
These were things they had never thought about, and never dared to think about, but now Song Shiwei put all the possible things that might happen in the future in front of them, letting them think about and do them.
Zhou Cheng was silent, and Zhou Lin was also lost in thought and didn't say anything.
After a while, Zhou Cheng pursed his lips and looked up at her: "Mom, I understand what you said, but what should I do if I'm not good at studying? I don't think I can learn! I always rank last in every exam, and I don't want to be criticized by the teacher all day and be looked down upon by my classmates..."
Song Shiwei stood up, walked to his side and touched his head.
"Mom knows you're a smart kid, not stupid at all. So, if you've listened to what I just said and want to go to university and learn more profound knowledge, then work hard now until you graduate from junior high school. If you still don't do well on the exam and don't want to go, Mom and Dad won't force you. Then, you can follow me and learn business! Is that okay with you?"
Zhou Tingyue also nodded: "It's really not your turn to make money now. Even if your mother doesn't make any money, Dad's salary will not starve you to death. He can also support you all to go to school and go to university in the future!"
"So, don't feel any pressure now. Going to school is also an investment in your future! You see, Zhou Lin is a very goal-oriented child. He wants to go to university, get a job, join the company, and never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life!"
Zhou Lin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a chuckle: "Dad, you are talking about my brother, what do you think I am doing?"
Song Shi looked at him with a smile: "It's a good thing to have goals. In the future, if you get into the unit and become a high-ranking official, then maybe your parents will be able to enjoy your blessing!"
Zhou Lin blushed and grinned, "Of course I do! I just want to be a leader like Secretary Gu! How impressive!"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and patted his head. "Oh, you're promising, kid. You've already fallen for Secretary Gu after just meeting him once! But, Linzi, Daddy wants to tell you something: the higher your position, the greater your responsibility! You must always remember your original intention! That way, no matter how far you go in the future, you won't lose yourself!"
These words were quite profound, and Zhou Lin might not understand them now, but he would understand them when he thought about them later.
Zhou Cheng also seemed to have made up his mind, looking at Song Shiwei with a firm gaze: "Okay, I'll listen to Mom and stick to it until I graduate from junior high school. If by then... I still don't do well in the exam, Mom, you have to agree to let me do business with you!"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Okay! Mom promises you!"
After talking about this, both the two children, Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Let them boil water to wash their feet and go to bed.
She also went back to the house and lay down.
Listening to the sound of heavy rain hitting the window frame outside, my heart felt inexplicably at peace.
Zhou Tingyue came over with a basin of water, pulled her up, and helped her wash her feet.
It seemed that this had become something he had to do every night since they got married.
Her feet, which were originally a little cold, were instantly surrounded by warm water when she put them into the basin.
She almost sighed in pleasure.
Zhou Tingyue looked at her satisfied face and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
The movements of his hands became more and more gentle. While helping her wash, he also massaged the soles of her feet, worried that she was tired from running today.
"I heard from Sister Mei that you went to the city today?"
If he hadn't asked Sun Meimei to help pick up Zhou Wei and Xinxin, he wouldn't have known that their little girl was so bold. She dared to run to the city just as the baby was sitting firmly.
He wasn't angry that she ran away, but he was worried about the safety of her and the children. She almost had a miscarriage in the city last time, and now he almost had a psychological trauma about her going to the city.
He will feel uneasy as long as he doesn't follow him!
Look, Sun Meimei said that she was almost caught in the rain. Fortunately, she arrived in time and was protected by Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng, otherwise she would have been soaked!
Song Shiwei also stuck out her tongue feeling a little guilty.
"Well...I went to the city. I wanted Director Sun to introduce me to some of the directors of other factories."
