Chapter 079: Fortune and Honor in Danger
Rong Mei also followed Xu Guodong's gaze and looked at Liu Rong.
He smiled at Xu Guodong and nodded, "We understand, but we still have to plan to lay the floor tiles."
And the color is good, the color is more eye-catching.
Xu Guodong put away the paper, pen, and ruler, looked at the time, and said to Rong Mei, "Okay, let's do this. I have to go back to work now. If you can wait, I will come to the store after get off work this afternoon to find you, or you can come to my work to find me. I will take you to the guesthouse to look at the bricks."
Rong Mei spoke without thinking, "Then let's go to the entrance of your workplace and wait for you. What time do you get off work?"
When asking someone to do something for you, it doesn't make sense to ask them to come to you. Of course she went to wait for someone in advance.
Xu Guodong didn't waste any time. He left his unit address and the time he would get off work, then picked up his things and left.
After sending Xu Guodong away, Liu Rong looked at Rong Mei with a worried look on her face, "Mei girl, isn't our investment too much?"
Just now there were outsiders present, so she couldn't refute her daughter-in-law's words in front of Xu Guodong. Now that they had left, she no longer had any worries.
He immediately put forward his thoughts and opinions to Rong Mei, "We have invested so much, how long will it take to make it back? The policy advocates the development of the economy and encourages people to develop themselves, but the policy can change at any time. If it changes, then we have invested so much, and if there is any disturbance, we won't even be able to get back the money."
Having experienced turbulent times, even though Liu Rong is considered brave, she is still somewhat wary.
In short, she felt uneasy.
Rong Mei put her hand on Liu Rong's shoulder and looked at her with a smile, "Mom, don't worry about it. We are now catching up with the good times. We must trust the leadership and the party. Besides, there is an old saying that wealth and honor are sought in danger. The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. Let's be a little bolder, because wealth is beckoning to us."
When it comes to the leadership and the Party, Liu Rong has no doubts. “Of course I have to believe it.”
She thought of Rong Sheng and his wife again. Although she didn't know what kind of business they were doing, the risks were definitely great. Rong Mei was right, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and there is no business without risks.
Hey, I thought I was quite courageous, but after all, I’m old and can’t be as brave as young people.
After figuring it out, Liu Rong finally smiled. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Since you're planning to install it, we have to install it all at once. We have to install the best. We have to install it first on this street, no, we have to install it first in this city!!!"
Rong Mei smiled, her eyes curved, and she begged Liu Rong in a coquettish manner, "Mom, I also want to invest in a stock. Will you let me join you? I also want to make money with you."
Liu Rong couldn't stand Rong Mei's coquettish behavior.
She agreed without even thinking, "Invest as much as you want! We can make money together!"
Rong Mei showed a triumphant smile on her face, and quickly made a decision, "Okay, then mother and I will come to get the money tomorrow and discuss the issue of shares. It is said that brothers should settle accounts clearly, so we mother and mother should also settle this account first."
Liu Rong felt that she had calmed down, but the words had already been said, how could she take them back...
She also knew that her daughter-in-law suddenly wanted to invest in the company because she was worried that she didn't have enough money. In order to protect her self-esteem, she said something like brothers should settle accounts clearly.
My eyes suddenly felt like they were blocked by thick smoke and felt a little sore.
Well, when I go back to Harbin during the Spring Festival, I must go to the Zhou family’s ancestral grave to pay a proper respect. It’s because of their gratitude that they got such a daughter-in-law.
I’m afraid that if I keep thinking about it, I’ll be moved to tears. I’m old now and people will laugh at me.
Liu Rong quickly changed the subject.
"Mei girl, you said Xiao Xu will be off work at five o'clock. After we go to see him at five o'clock, we have to go to the guesthouse. We can't catch the commuter bus of the army."
Rong Mei frowned and thought for a moment, "Then let's stay in the city tonight and go back tomorrow."
Then he asked Liu Rong, "Mom, did you bring your ID card?"
Liu Rong shook her head, "No."
She also didn't have the habit of carrying her ID with her when she went out, unlike Rong Mei, who always kept her ID in her wallet.
Rong Mei's brows furrowed even deeper.
Without their ID cards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be able to stay in the guesthouse.
But she didn't want to put off checking the bricks until tomorrow. She was impatient and today's plan had to be completed today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
What to do?
Besides, they had already promised Xu Guodong that they would wait for him at the gate of his office before he got off work. How could they carry out the future cooperation if they failed to stand him up the first time? There was no trust at all.
So this is the only way - "Mom, why don't you take the commuter bus back first, I'll go find Brother Guodong by myself. I brought my ID card and will stay in the city tonight. I won't go back."
Liu Rong refused without a second thought, "That won't work. It's not safe for you to live here alone."
Rong Mei was helpless. She raised her wrist and glanced at the dial. "Then let's do this. I'll go find Sister Chunlan. She probably hasn't closed her stall yet. Let her leave her bicycle with us and she'll take the bus back."
Since setting up the stall, Chen Chunlan rides her bicycle here every morning and rides back in the afternoon.
So, in order to go back, I had to shamelessly borrow someone's car and wait for the afternoon commuter bus.
As for letting Liu Rong go back first and riding her bicycle back by herself, Rong Mei didn't even need to mention it. She knew that Liu Rong would not agree, mainly because it was too late.
"Okay, let's go now." Liu Rong finally agreed.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at where Chen Chunlan was setting up her stall, Chen Chunlan was still there.
But everything has been almost packed up and all the things are on the cart.
She rented a storage room in the city to sell the items for her stall, paying two yuan a month, and would move the items there after closing her stall every day.
If Rong Mei and the others had arrived five minutes later, Chen Chunlan would have already left.
After listening to Rong Mei's request, Chen Chunlan agreed immediately without saying a word.
She tied the things on the cart with ropes and said with a smile, "Sister, are you going to do a big business?"
Rong Mei helped pull the rope, shook her head and laughed, "What big business? It's just a small business like yours."
Then he advised Chen Chunlan, "But sister-in-law Chunlan, why don't you consider buying a store? It's fine for you to set up a stall on a sunny day, but it will be miserable if it rains."
Chen Chunlan still said, "If you own a shop, you have to pay rent. I open the stall on sunny days. If it rains, I go out if I want to. If I don't want to, I don't. Look, you can see that I close the stall after noon, and don't wait until the evening. It's different with a shop. Not only do I pay people for nothing, I can't bear to close the shop."
