In Su City, since Su Daqiang went to the United States, Mingcheng and Zhu Li have finally calmed down.
Both of them longed to return to the leisurely and comfortable days before, but it was already difficult to return to that state.
In the past, the two of them earned and spent their own money, and Su's mother also provided some assistance from time to time, so that the young couple always lived a comfortable life.
Now, Su's mother's support is gone. In addition to paying off the mortgage, the couple also has to repay Su Daqiang an amount that is no less than the mortgage loan every month.
Mingcheng deliberately refused to pay it back, saying that his father had gone to the United States to enjoy his life, so it was not enough for them to have three melons and two dates.
But Zhu Li was unwilling and insisted on paying it back. Not only did she have to pay it back, but she also had to pay it back on time every month after her salary was paid.
The young couple, who had been struggling for several months, originally imagined that with Su Daqiang gone, their burden would be lightened and they would be able to go out to restaurants and buy clothes as before.
When they saw the deposits in their bank cards, they realized that they were just extravagant wishes. They must maintain this frugal life until the debt they owe their family is paid off.
Julie didn't say anything about this. She had always been concerned about saving face, and she didn't want to be blamed for being a nanny. The worst she could do was go out to restaurants less, buy less clothes, spend the extra time on work, and pay off her debt as soon as possible!
But Mingcheng couldn't stand it anymore. He had been living under Su's mother's wings and had never experienced the storms of life. Living with Su Daqiang in the past few months had been a rare hardship experience in his life.
Don't want to come here a second time.
In particular, the living standards of both him and Zhu Li have plummeted. Thinking about his old days, he misses them very much.
It's a pity that even though dad is gone, the two of them have never returned to their previous lives.
He thought hard and got to the bottom of it, and found that it was because of just one word: "money".
Because he had no money, he often needed help from Su's mother, and he was accused of chewing his old age.
Because he had no money, he couldn't take care of Su's mother's funeral expenses like his eldest brother and Mingyu did. He couldn't even come up with an equal share of the money, and was laughed at by Mingyu.
As Mother Su's most beloved child, this made him feel both a little ashamed and very angry.
"What's wrong with having money? It's great to have money!"
Because he had no money and could not pay off his family's debts, he could only save money every day, and his quality of life plummeted.
Because he has no money, he is looked down upon by his family. Even his father has never thought of living at home for a long time, let alone letting him take care of himself in old age. He feels that he does not have the ability.
I will only choose the richer eldest brother and Mingyu.
Because he has no money and his family status is not very high, he cannot be tough in front of Julie.
As long as there is a conflict, no matter who is at fault, he needs to admit his mistake first. If it is really his fault and Julie is always angry and unforgiving, he will even kneel down and admit his mistake very proactively.
As the saying goes, "A man has gold at his knees." For him, kneeling on his wife has become a habit, so there is no gold left.
…
Such memories, one by one, passed through his mind, and Su Mingcheng's heart was turbulent, and he could not calm down.
"He wants to make money! Make big money!"
"It used to be said that a real man must not be without power, but now he must be a real man without money."
"He wants to show Zhu Li that I, Su Mingcheng, am also capable and an upright man."
"He wants to show eldest brother and Mingyu that not only you can make money, but I, Su Mingcheng, can too."
"He wants to show Dad, don't think that your second son only cares about your old age, and only cares about your pension money. He is also very capable, no worse than the eldest and third son."
…
Su Mingcheng was agitated for a long time, when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"Mingcheng, it's time to get off work! Let's go...have lunch."
Only then did he come back to his senses and found that he was still an ordinary salesman in the company, a worker who worked tirelessly every day for work and performance.
In response, Mingcheng mechanically followed his colleagues out. After the excitement, he once again realized the cruelty of reality.
Money is so easy to earn!
"How can he make a lot of money? Live a life of wealth and freedom, which will impress everyone."
Mingcheng was deeply distressed!
…
Mechanically arriving at the restaurant, Su Mingcheng was still a little distracted and dazed. His immediate boss, Manager Zhou, also happened to walk in. Seeing Su Mingcheng standing there in a daze with confused eyes, he shouted: "Xiao Su, stand here.
What are you doing! Are you feeling unwell?"
Only then did Su Mingcheng come back to his senses, grinned and smiled: "It's okay...Sister Zhou, it's okay!"
Sister Zhou smiled and said: "As long as it's okay, I happen to have something to do in the afternoon, so come with me for a trip."
Mingcheng intended to refuse, but after thinking about it, he finally refused.
…
In the afternoon, Mingcheng was still not in good spirits. He was listless and mechanically followed Sister Zhou to inspect the small factory.
When the matter was over and they left the factory, Manager Zhou shook hands with Boss Shen and said goodbye.
"Boss Shen, I agree to the cooperation. When will we sign the contract?"
Boss Shen, who was plainly dressed and quite shrewd, smiled and said: "Manager Zhou, you are welcome to sign contracts here at any time. As long as the money is in place, the machines will come in immediately and the factory will start working immediately."
Manager Zhou hesitated for a moment and said: "That's okay, but after all, it's not a small amount, and we have to wait a few days."
Boss Shen smiled heartily and said: "No problem, I'll be waiting for you at any time."
"The sooner the money arrives, the sooner the machines are shipped, the sooner we can make a fortune."
…
The word "get rich" seemed to stimulate Su Mingcheng, his mind was stimulated and he became sober.
Seeing that Boss Shen had left, he immediately turned around and asked with hope: "Sister Zhou, are you doing business as a partnership? If there is a chance to make a fortune, be sure to bring me with you."
Manager Zhou turned around and looked at him a few times, hesitated for a moment, and then said after careful consideration: "Xiao Su, you have a good vision. There is really a good opportunity to make a fortune here, so it doesn't hurt to tell you!"
"Did Boss Shen just know that he also ate up another factory next to him and intended to install a new production line?"
"The equipment has been ordered a long time ago, but funds are tight and I haven't paid for the installation. That's why I wanted to cooperate with us."
"In the future, the products will be underwritten by us, and the production will be managed by him. We will use our money to invest in the shares, and he will use the factory building to invest in the shares. We will all make a fortune together."
Su Mingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this the way to make money that he has been looking for for a long time?
With Manager Zhou here and him here, with the sales channels of the foreign trade company where they are currently working, the products of this factory have no problem selling. As long as the quality of the products is decent, there is no reason not to make money.
Working part-time is just part-time work, and you cannot make a fortune.
How can you make money by investing! How can you make money by running a factory as a shareholder!
Su Mingcheng's heart surged for a moment, and he looked at Manager Zhou excitedly and said: "Sister Zhou, you have taken me with you since I entered the company. You must take me with you for such a good thing!"
Manager Zhou tapped his forehead with his finger.
He smiled and said: "Xiao Su! You are out of touch when you say this. Sister Zhou, when have I ever forgotten you when I encountered good things?"
"Since you want to join in, let's invest together."
"However, the investment is no different than others. The amount required is not small. Can you afford it?"
Su Mingcheng, who was excited, thought of his family's financial situation, as if someone had poured cold water on him, and asked cautiously: "Sister Zhou, how much do you need?"
Sister Zhou extended a slap in the face: "At least 500,000."
Su Mingcheng's mouth opened like a duck's egg. 500,000 was an astronomical figure for him. Not to mention that he couldn't afford it now, even when he had plenty of money, he couldn't afford it before.
When the family had the most savings, it was only 100,000, which was all used up evenly to pay for Su's mother's funeral.
Now at home, I can’t even afford 10,000 yuan.
He asked without giving up: "Sister Zhou, 500,000 is a bit too much. It's hard to get it together at the moment. Can it be less?"
Manager Zhou glanced at him, hesitated and said again: "Then 300,000!"
Seeing what Su Mingcheng wanted to say, Manager Zhou waved his hand and said: "This is already the minimum amount. If it is too small, it is not worth it."
"If you can't take it out, forget it."
Although he knew he couldn't afford so much money, facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune, Su Mingcheng gritted his teeth and promised: "Sister Zhou, it's a deal, it's only three hundred thousand."
