Shao Mo was annoyed by being stared at. He tilted his head and said angrily: "What are you looking at me for?"
"You look good."
Shao Mo rolled his eyes, stood up, turned off the TV, and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
Lingchuan followed her step by step, "Daughter-in-law, the dress you are wearing today is so beautiful. I haven't seen it before. Is it a new one?"
"I wore it last year. Your memory was eaten by a dog?"
Seeing that he was too soft, Lingchuan went straight to the hard end, "Daughter-in-law, have I made you unhappy?"
"Which of your eyes saw that I was unhappy?"
"Both eyes saw it."
"Then your eyes are really not very good." Shao Mo said rudely.
Lingchuan thought about it and decided that the crux of the problem was what he said last night about Wei Qiaolan being too beautiful.
Just imagine, if his wife said that other men are good-looking or capable in front of him, he would definitely be unhappy.
"Daughter-in-law, I said the wrong thing last night. You know I am stupid and so are people. Don't argue with me."
"In my heart, you are the most beautiful and good-looking, no one can compare with you."
"Although you look good when you are angry, being angry is not good for your health. As you said, being angry is punishing yourself for other people's mistakes. Only a fool would do that."
Shao Mo originally didn't want to talk to the man, but the man who had always been taciturn didn't know what was wrong with him. He kept nagging like an old woman. Shao Mo couldn't help it anymore, so he grabbed the pillow and threw it away.
"Shut up."
Lingchuan didn't dare to speak anymore. He carried the pillow to the bedside, put the pillow away, then sat on the bedside and prepared to take off his shoes and go to bed.
Shao Mo stepped over and said, "Go and wash your face and feet."
Lingchuan quickly stood up straight: "Daughter-in-law, I will be back soon."
Shao Mo turned over and lay down, leaving only the back of his head.
After Lingchuan went out, Shao Mo remembered that he had eaten before brushing his teeth, so he got up and put on his coat and tied his hair. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lingchuan coming back in a hurry with his trousers rolled up.
"Daughter-in-law, do you want some water? I'll get it for you."
Seeing her standing at the door, Lingchuan smiled to please her.
"I brush my teeth."
"Oh, then I'll go in and wait for you. I've finished washing."
Shao Mo looked at him suspiciously, "So fast?"
"Well, the eldest brother just collected a basin of water, so I just used it."
Hearing this, Shao Mo ignored him and went to the bathroom.
After brushing her teeth, she returned to the room and found Lingchuan lying on her bed.
Seeing her coming back, Lingchuan moved back to his bed and said, "Daughter-in-law, come here quickly. I'll help you warm up the bed."
Shao Mo: "..."
After Shao Mo went to bed, Lingchuan cautiously tried to come closer, but Shao Mo turned over and turned her back to him.
"Turn off the lights."
"oh."
With the clicking sound of the switch, the room darkened, with only the small desk lamp on the bedside table emitting a dim and soft light.
"Daughter-in-law, did you go to Xie's house to sign the contract today?"
"went."
"Did you have lunch at Xie's house?"
"Um."
"What about tonight?"
"We went out to eat and made an appointment with Fangfang."
"What to eat?"
“BBQ.”
"Is it tasty?"
Shao Mo turned over impatiently, "I'm still asking you when I'm sleeping, are you bothered?"
Lingchuan rested his head on his palms, his handsome features were illuminated by the hazy light, and his black eyes were filled with an enchanting warmth.
"Daughter-in-law, you go to bed first. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll watch you sleep."
Shao Mo looked at him for a while and asked angrily: "What did you do today?"
"I went to see Captain Wan. He took me to meet some friends."
"What friend? What do you do?"
Hearing her question, Lingchuan moved closer to her excitedly, "Daughter-in-law, do you still remember that we wanted to do the pager business before? Captain Wan found a way, and the person in charge of Shanghai wanted to build a business in the northwest.
There are several pilot projects, including ours in Jiang City. Captain Wan’s friends also want to do it, and the purpose of our meeting today is to discuss our intentions for cooperation."
Hearing this, Shao Mo also became somewhat interested.
"How was your talk?"
"What Captain Wan means is that he plans to open four branches in Jiang City. I and three other people will each be responsible for one store, and then register a communications company. All four of our stores will be under the unified management of the company.
Then each person needs to invest about 50,000 yuan in the early stage, of which 20,000 yuan is the agency fee and 30,000 yuan is the cost of renting the store and selling goods."
Upon hearing this, Shao Mo calmed down.
It sounds nice that we are all starting a business together, but in fact we are working for others, and we have to contribute money ourselves.
"Lingchuan, what do you think?"
"Daughter-in-law, I haven't decided yet. Do you think this business can be done?"
"Of course you can do business, but you don't necessarily have to do it with Captain Wan and the others. Such a big business requires you to keep an eye on it yourself. Do you plan to stay in Jiang City to look after the store in the future?"
Lingchuan shook his head quickly, "Daughter-in-law, I will go back and reject Captain Wan tomorrow."
"Have you thought about it? Don't you regret it? The pager business is quite reliable. If you really start it, you will be the first to try it. Not to mention making tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of dollars a year.
Nothing is a problem."
Hearing that Shao Mo was so optimistic about the prospect of pagers, Lingchuan hesitated again.
In the past, he worked hard to make money so that his wife could live a good life, but now, he wants to gain the approval of his father-in-law through his career success.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think if I go to the capital to do this pager business?"
Seeing that the man finally got the idea, Shao Mo felt relieved.
"Just make up your mind and do it. Although the capital is still very unfamiliar to us, there are not no connections and relationships that we can rely on. Don't feel embarrassed to speak up. You can speak up and persuade the other person to help you achieve your goal.
, this is also a skill.”
Lingchuan nodded, "Okay, then I will make it clear to Captain Wan tomorrow."
"There is no need to rush this matter. You can have more contact with Captain Wan and others first, listen to their opinions and learn some experience."
"Isn't this considered stealing from others? Wouldn't it be bad?"
"What kind of stealing is this? It's just business communication at best, and your market is in the capital, and there is no conflict of interest with Jiang City at all, so just treat it as an inspection. Pagers are an emerging industry.
, even if you have to do it with Captain Wan and the others, do you still need to conduct serious investigation and research?"
Lingchuan suddenly realized, "Daughter-in-law, you are right."
"It's getting late, go to sleep."
Lingchuan squeezed to her side and put his arms around her waist through the quilt, "Daughter-in-law, are you not angry with me anymore?"
"Well, I haven't seen you all day today, so I thought you had done something bad."
Knowing that this was the crux of her anger, Lingchuan quickly promised to report his whereabouts to her when he went out.
The awkwardness unilaterally caused by Shao Mo was thus eliminated.
The next day, Lingchuan still went out early in the morning.
But Shao Mo didn't sleep in today. She was already up when Lingchuan went out.
"Daughter-in-law, I may not come back for lunch. You can make something to eat yourself. If you don't want to cook, go out to eat."
"Remember what I told you yesterday, listen more, think more and express less opinions."
Lingchuan nodded quickly.
Seeing that Ling Chuan was about to go out, Ling Chunhua hurriedly caught up with him, "Uncle, you said last night that you would take me to the amusement park to drive bumper cars today!"
Lingchuan was about to comfort him when Shao Mo spoke up at the right time, "Chunhua, uncle has to go out for something. Aunt Fang and I will take you there this afternoon."
Ling Chunhua was immediately happy.
The weather was nice today. Shao Mo moved the drawing board from the study room to the yard and planned to help Ling Chunhua with her homework while drawing the design draft.
Just as I picked up a pencil and sketched a rough outline, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
"The little swallow must be here!"
Ling Chunhua happily ran to open the door, but was stunned when she saw the person outside.
"Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Yu looked at the little girl who opened the door for him, with an expression of surprise, but it was not obvious.
She subconsciously looked inside, and happened to catch the eye of Shao Mo, who was looking up.
"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Yun?"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of his adopted daughter, Jiang Yu felt mixed emotions.
Of her two biological daughters, one died of illness and the other was about to be executed. However, the adopted daughter whom she drove out of the house became a famous talented woman and a role model for young people to learn from.
Outsiders laughed at her for being short-sighted, but she was not wronged at all.
