The next day.
Wen Wanqing was about to receive important foreign guests, so she put on the new cheongsam that Su Wantang had bought for her and went to work.
Previously, when she wore casual clothes and spent every day with him, Wen Wanqing's changes were not very obvious.
But once she put on this red cheongsam, some details that were not easily noticed came into everyone's view.
"Hey, hey, hey." The girl holding the Russian dictionary nudged the girl next to her who was typing text into a type printer.
"Look, hasn't our minister gotten so much fairer?"
The girl who was printing glanced at it briefly, but the next second, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
It seems so—
The sound of "ba" hasn't even finished yet.
Click, click.
The girl screamed, "My manuscript!"
We have to start all over again.
Hearing the commotion, Wen Wanqing glanced over with a serious look.
"How many times have I told you? You need to focus! Don't get distracted! Remember this well! If I find anyone slacking off again, you'll get your wages docked!"
"Yes, Minister."
Wen Wanqing had been busy all day, and only managed a quick bite at noon. It wasn't until she got off work in the evening that she could finally relax and slump into a chair for a short rest.
Surprisingly.
Ten minutes later, when she left the office, she found that many young girls had not left.
Seeing her come out, their eyes visibly brightened, and they jostled each other until finally one of them managed to squeeze out a representative.
Wen Wanqing frowned: "What are you doing?"
She was turning around to glare angrily at the women who had pushed her out as a shield when she heard this, and immediately looked away.
Clutching her clothes, she took a deep breath and said, "Minister, have you changed your skincare products recently? You look much fairer. Could you bring us some next time? We'd like to..."
As Wen Wanqing's brows furrowed more and more, the woman's voice gradually faded.
"Minister, just take this as a casual remark."
"It wasn't bought; my daughter-in-law developed it herself. I'll ask her about it for you later."
Wen Wanqing is gone.
Several women gathered together, watching her retreating figure and chattering amongst themselves.
"Why."
"The minister is so outstanding, how come his daughter-in-law is also so amazing? I wonder what kind of family raised such a girl."
Wen Wanqing, who hadn't gone far, twitched the tip of her ear.
"Waaah, why can't the world have one more outstanding person like me?"
...
After dinner, Wen Wanqing called Su Wantang into the room.
"Mom, what's wrong? What do you want to tell me?"
"Wantang, have you ever considered opening a factory?"
Su Wantang's breathing tightened.
Last night, Li Jia's words had been lingering in her mind all day.
"Wantang, the whitening cream works so well, have you ever thought about opening a shop?"
Li Jia thought that she couldn't keep taking advantage of Su Wantang.
But.
As a woman, and the face of the performing arts troupe, she simply couldn't resist the temptation to become fair-skinned.
Why not ask Su Wantang if she's interested in opening a shop? If so, she can buy directly from the shop.
Even if it's expensive, she can buy less.
Su Wantang was also taken aback when she heard Li Jia's suggestion last night.
Her status as a capitalist has always made her hesitant to act too ostentatiously.
He displayed his medical skills because he listened to Wen Wanqing's advice, wanted to show his value, and wanted to gain leverage.
But I must say...
Su Wantang was indeed tempted by Liu Jia's suggestion.
In her past life, she used this whitening cream to win over the wives of leaders and help Huo Jun thrive in the leadership circle.
Su Wantang knew all too well how strong a woman's desire to become fairer and more beautiful was.
She already has a good idea of the formula, and I believe it won't be long before she can develop it.
With over 70% efficacy, Su Wantang believed she could negotiate with that Grandpa Chen.
Su Zhichen will definitely come back then.
There must be a place to live.
After all, it wouldn't be proper for Su Zhichen to live in the compound.
She needs to buy a house.
Whether it was the iron box Su Zhichen gave Su Wantang, the savings book Lu Huai'an handed to Su Wantang, or the jewelry and money given by her mother-in-law Wen Wanqing.
Su Wantang is not short of money.
but.
Those are things that can't be shown to others; there's very little money that's openly displayed.
Given Lu Huai'an's allowance, it's reasonable for her to buy one house; any more, and she might attract unwanted attention.
Su Wantang was reborn and knew that many years later, houses in Beijing would become incredibly valuable. As an ordinary person, she naturally wanted to live a good life.
so.
Since she had money, Su Wantang was more than willing to buy more houses so she could collect rent for her retirement.
If you open a shop, these problems will disappear.
"Mom, I've thought about this. I plan to rent a shop and open a pharmacy."
Pharmaceutical factory.
It's still too outstanding.
It can be opened, but not now.
"OK."
"Mom, aren't you going to ask me why?"
“Wantang, Mom is an elder, someone who has been through it all, and I will give you advice, but how you do it and how you do it is up to you. This is your life. Mom can't be with you forever, but as long as Mom and your dad are alive, we will support you and Huai'an,” Wen Wanqing said firmly.
Su Wantang was shocked: "Mom, you're so good to me."
"Then make me sweet and sour pork ribs tomorrow, Mom wants to eat them." Wen Wanqing's eyes lit up.
"no problem."
Wen Wanqing then took out the savings book she had in her pocket and placed it in Su Wantang's hand.
"Take it."
Su Wantang pushed the bright red savings book back.
"Mom, I can't accept this."
"Opening a shop involves spending money in many places."
"Besides, your father and I only have you as our daughter-in-law and Huai'an as our son. If we don't leave the family money to you, who else can we leave it to?"
