Chapter 1393 Remarried old men are prone to self-deception
Chen Feng said that he asked Yu Xiaohui to accompany him at night, but in fact that was not necessarily the case.
Because after he and Yu Xiaohui separated, he immediately drove back to Lin Nan's hometown.
I don't want to go back to the city at night, so unless Yu Xiaohui takes the initiative to drive to Lin Nan at night, she really won't be able to accompany him.
We got on the expressway and returned to Linnan almost an hour later.
However, he did not return home to Qingpu Town right away, because at this time his parents were working in the jewelry store he opened in Baijia Plaza over in Yuelou Town.
Chen Feng drove directly from the city and got off the highway intersection in Yuelou Town. Then he went straight for about two kilometers on the eight-lane avenue that was built just two years ago and arrived at Baijia Plaza.
After parking the car, we quickly arrived at Zhao Shengsheng’s jewelry store.
Ever since he handed over the jewelry store to professional managers, with his parents working there and supervising, and Yu Xiaohui coming over to check from time to time, he basically let it go completely.
It was only when he occasionally had video calls with his parents that he learned about the current operating conditions of the jewelry store from his mother.
Generally speaking, it is quite good, because theirs is the only high-end jewelry store in the surrounding area. There are also many rich people in Yuelou Town, and the business is still good.
I made a profit from the first month, and later the highest monthly profit was nearly one million, which is quite impressive.
Currently, there are more than three million yuan in liquidity in the public account of the jewelry store, and Chen Feng, the owner, has not withdrawn any money from it.
When I arrived at my jewelry store, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe because of the weekend, there were actually many customers inside.
Including my mother, there were at least five or six shop assistants helping to receive her.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stopped going in to cause trouble and simply started walking around in the mall.
It can be seen that there are at least two or three more jewelry stores on the first floor, but obviously the brands are not as good as Zhao Shengsheng, they are either their own miscellaneous brands, or second- and third-tier brands. This is the normal style of township jewelry stores.
It is very rare to open a high-end jewelry store like Zhao Shengsheng in a rural shopping mall. Because of the large investment and little price advantage, few people have the courage.
But Chen Feng was not short of money, so he started a business that seemed to have no competitive advantage, and it turned out to be quite profitable.
After shopping for more than half an hour, he returned to his jewelry store. There were finally fewer customers inside. His mother, Zhao Xiaolan, had no customers to receive at the moment, so Chen Feng walked in.
"mom."
Chen Feng went in and said hello. Seeing that his mother was dressed in standard professional attire and her face looked good, he felt relieved.
After Zhao Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, she realized what she was doing. She quickly stepped forward and complained slightly: "Why did you come suddenly without saying anything in advance? I thought you weren't coming back today?"
"I have a surprise for you." Chen Feng said with a smile.
"What's not a surprise? It's more like a shock."
While Zhao Xiaolan was talking, she also looked at her youngest son up and down. Seeing that he had lost some weight and was in good spirits, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll let you know in advance next time." Chen Feng didn't talk back, and he mainly acted as a filial and well-behaved person.
"Well, it's a rare time for you to come back. I'll invite your uncle's family to come to our house for a get-together in the evening."
Chen Feng immediately nodded in agreement. His uncle had now changed his ways and became a good man of the Gu family. Chen Feng was very happy about this, at least his mother no longer had to worry about it.
"By the way, Tingting can't make it through today?" Zhao Xiaolan asked quickly.
"I don't know, you can ask her yourself."
When Zhao Xiaolan heard this, she glared at him with some dissatisfaction: "You came back with her. Why didn't you ask if she wanted to come to our house today?"
Yes! I will be punished as usual.
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain: "Isn't it her father's fiftieth birthday today? She has many relatives at home, and she may not be able to escape."
"Okay, I'll send her a WeChat message later."
Chen Feng then asked: "Where is Dad? Isn't he in the store?"
Zhao Xiaolan said with a hint of disgust: "He and the other two security guards are completely redundant, because there are already security guards in the mall. Usually, your dad and the others are just decorations in the store and have nothing to do. So, I sent them there.
Running errands to deliver goods. Your father is going to deliver goods this time. The place is not far, so it should not be far."
Chen Feng was speechless and asked curiously: "Are you going to give away jewelry? Is he alone?"
"Of course not, mainly with the salesperson. Some potential customers are too lazy to make a special trip to our jewelry store, so the salesperson and our store security will deliver the goods to their door."
“Wouldn’t this be unsafe?”
"There is nothing unsafe. Those potential customers are basically sure to buy after reading the product catalog, so we are responsible for delivering it to your door. If you don't buy much, just one or two pieces, as long as the value is not very expensive, the salesperson will
Just send it over. If there are two, three or four items, we will call a security guard to go with them. If there are more, at least three or four people will go together. But it will not exceed seven or eight items at most, and the total value cannot be
If it exceeds one million, customers must come to our jewelry store to buy it themselves. Of course, except for some really big customers, if they have the intention to buy, our store will provide unconditional door-to-door service all day long. But for such big customers, our store currently
There’s nothing there yet.”
Chen Feng really didn't know about this. After all, he basically ignored it after opening the store.
Now I heard from my mother that I know that our store also has door-to-door delivery service.
"Isn't it too hard for Dad? He runs around every day." Chen Feng felt a little sorry for his father.
Originally, he wanted his father to come to the store and enjoy the pleasure, but in the end he ended up doing a job similar to the one he used to deliver goods to those factories.
"What's so hard about this? Sometimes he drives there to run errands and deliver goods. Most of the time, he doesn't have to drive. He just goes there and walks around and comes back. It takes at least an hour or two to go back and forth. It's not like there are deliveries every day.
Running errands, he stayed in the store doing nothing for more than half a month."
Seeing that his mother had already said this, Chen Feng couldn't say anything else. At least it was much easier for his father to move than when he used to deliver goods to the factory.
At this moment, the store manager Song Xinjia came out of the office after learning that his boss was coming.
"Welcome, boss, to come and inspect the work." Song Xinjia greeted Chen Feng gracefully.
Seeing this, Chen Feng acted like a boss, greeted her, and then went to the office inside at her invitation.
It took almost half an hour for Chen Feng to listen to Song Xinjia's work report, which was generally similar to what he had learned before. The jewelry store's profits were very good, with more than three million in liquidity in the account, and it continued to increase. So
It is unnecessary to keep large amounts of working capital in the store's account, and it can easily cause financial risks. Song Xinjia suggested that the boss, Chen Feng, withdraw part of it.
Chen Feng agreed to her suggestion and deducted two million from the store's account.
Sign and seal, financial contact bank to make payment.
Then Chen Feng asked Song Xinjia, in his name as the boss, to invite all the employees in the store to a dinner party in the evening, with a meal standard of 500 yuan per person. He asked her to thank all the employees for their hard work during this time.
Song Xinjia immediately agreed with a happy smile.
Not long after, the two came out of the office, and Song Xinjia announced the news to the store employees on the spot, which attracted cheers.
Most of the salespeople in the store are not in the store, so they will have to notify the work group separately.
Chen Feng didn't care about this, so he took his wife to get off work early.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. The mother and son first went to the supermarket in the mall to buy groceries, and then rushed back to their home in Qingpu Town.
Zhao Xiaolan went to the kitchen to work in the kitchen immediately. During the period, she called her brother Zhao Guozhong and asked the family to come over for dinner in the evening. Chen Feng, the nephew, came back.
When Zhao Guozhong heard that Chen Feng was back, of course he hurriedly agreed.
Then she called her husband and eldest son.
Chen Feng returned to his room. Although he was not at home for a long time, his room was obviously cleaned frequently and kept clean and tidy.
Lying in bed and scrolling through my phone, time flies by.
At almost five o'clock, my uncle Zhao Guozhong came over with his wife and two children.
Zhao Guozhong came to Chen Feng's room alone to talk to him.
"A Feng, when are you going to get married? As an uncle, I have been waiting to drink your wedding wine."
"Then you can wait."
"You kid, can't you learn from me and get married early and settle down?"
"I'll follow your advice and wait until I'm forty-eight before getting married."
"...Okay, I can't help you." Zhao Guozhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said a little shyly, "A Feng, let me ask you something and let you help me come up with an idea."
"What's the matter?" Chen Feng asked casually.
After Zhao Guozhong hesitated for a moment, he still said: "Do you think it is necessary for me to have a child at my current age?"
Chen Feng looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Why, you want to have children again now? You are 49 years old this year and 50 next year. Do you want to be a father when you are 50?"
Zhao Guozhong said with some embarrassment and confusion: "I originally didn't want to give birth, but those people outside spoke so harshly, saying that I was stupid for raising children for others, and that if I died, there would be no one to take care of me. In addition, after all, I
You are getting older, who doesn’t want to have a biological child by your side? Don’t you think so?”
Chen Feng asked: "Have you asked your aunt about this? Can she agree?"
Zhao Guozhong said with a hint of pride: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't ask you. She didn't agree before, but after my unremitting efforts and persuasion, she finally agreed. There is just a prerequisite, you must first give
Buy insurance for her two children."
When Chen Feng heard what he said, he came to his senses. He glared at him angrily and said, "You don't want to borrow money from me again, do you? You can't pull the wool out of my nephew every time, right?"
Zhao Guozhong was immediately embarrassed and quickly denied: "No, I have no intention of borrowing money from you. I just want to ask your opinion."
"How much does the insurance she mentioned cost?" Although Chen Feng felt unhappy, as an uncle, he still planned to ask first.
After Zhao Guozhong hesitated for a moment, he said hesitantly: "300,000...one."
Even if Chen Feng is not short of money now, when he heard the quotation, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and sneered: "What kind of insurance is this? One is only 300,000, and two are not 600,000?"
Zhao Guozhong smiled awkwardly and said: "Education insurance could have been paid in installments every year. But she felt it was not safe and she had to pay it in one lump sum, otherwise she would not agree to have children with me."
"How can education insurance be so expensive?" Chen Feng expressed doubts.
Zhao Guozhong had no choice but to explain: "Hers is the most expensive one, usually only around 100,000 yuan, but she feels that the protection is not enough, so she chooses the highest-end one."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "She is clearly telling you that the price of giving birth to a child is 600,000. Moreover, I suspect that this is just the beginning. Maybe after you pay for the insurance for her two children, she will ask for more
There are other reasons for you to pay.”
"No, absolutely not. She is not that kind of person." Zhao Guozhong immediately shook his head and denied, "She said that as long as she buys education insurance for her two children, she will have no worries and will have children with me.
.”
Chen Feng sneered and said: "Uncle, you are such an old person and have been in the world, how come you are still so easy to trust people now? To put it bluntly, you are so many years older than her, why did she fall in love with you in the first place?
You, why did you choose to marry you? Is it because of the wrinkles on your face or the white hair on your head, or because of your poverty?"
Zhao Guozhong's face turned red and green when he was asked. Everyone knew very well that the reason why Mao Xiaoling married him in the first place was so that he would have a rich nephew and that he could get money from this nephew.
But for Chen Feng, the nephew, to say it so openly now, it was really a slap in the face and hurt his self-esteem.
Chen Feng continued to say unceremoniously: "Believe it or not, if you buy insurance for her two children, there is a high probability that she will deliberately quarrel with you and get a divorce. The reason is just as she said herself, she has no more
No worries. Even without your help in the future, she can easily support her two children. So why does she still follow you, an old man? You don’t really think she has fallen in love with you, do you?
Not to mention, she also has a weird mother. When the time comes, she can definitely say that her mother does not agree. If you want her mother to agree, buy insurance for her mother, such as pension insurance and medical insurance.
Even if she doesn’t ask you to pay any more, what can you do if she secretly takes medicine and deliberately doesn’t conceive a child?”
Zhao Guozhong was stunned for a while, then he lowered his head, sighed and said: "A Feng, although I think what you said is a bit alarmist, I listen to you and won't give birth to another child or bother anymore. When the time comes,
, even if I die without a child of my own, at least I still have you as my nephew. You, the nephew, can’t ignore my posthumous affairs, don’t you think?”
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You will only be fifty next year. As long as you take good care of your body, you will have no problem living another thirty or forty years. Don't think so far ahead."
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you. You will never harm me. Alas, although you are kind to me, what you just said is too shocking. I think Xiaoling still likes me a little bit.
You can’t marry me solely because of money, right?”
Chen Feng was too lazy to say anything anymore, so he gave him a look and understood. Remarried old men are easy to deceive themselves.
Zhao Guozhong was silent for a while, laughed twice, and walked away angrily, looking downcast. ()
