However, Su Mingcheng's beautiful idea was shattered by Zhu Li's series of reprimands.
"What? Mingcheng, you borrowed 1 million from your elder brother to invest, how come I didn't know about this!"
"Okay! Su Mingcheng, do you still have me in your eyes? You hide such a big matter and don't even discuss it with me."
"We still owe dad so much money. You actually invested so much money. What if you lose it?"
"Do you have this ability? Do you have investment experience? We are salarymen, we can't work hard! Have you ever thought about what to do if you fail? Do we have the money to pay back?"
After a few words, it was clear that his anger was gone.
He quickly and carefully stepped forward and said, "Lili, listen to my explanation."
Julie folded her arms and sat on the sofa with a cold face.
"explain!"
Mingcheng quickly explained: "Lili, this is really a rare opportunity. You can definitely make a lot of money."
"Moreover, I didn't discover the opportunity. It was our manager Zhou who took the lead and invested the most. Several people in our department participated."
"This is definitely an investment that is guaranteed to make a profit, Lili, you have to believe me."
Zhu Li's face looked a little better, but her tone was still stern: "Su Mingcheng, do you think I don't know anything? The economy is in a recession now, especially in foreign trade. There are a few people who make money."
"Today is not the past, when the market was immature and there were opportunities everywhere. Now the market is very mature. It is not sure whether a small factory with little technical content like you mentioned can survive or how much profit it can make."
"If there is such a huge profit and such a low threshold, it is still your turn to participate. The market has long been divided up."
"Besides, there are too many people in the market now who are swindling and defrauding investors."
"Mingcheng, let's be more realistic. You don't have the talent for investment. You can't make much money from this kind of factory. If we lose, we will have to bear a huge debt. It's better to return the money to big brother and work hard.
Bar."
"As long as the two of us work hard, we will be able to pay off dad's money as soon as possible and live our small life."
Although what Zhu Li said made some sense, Mingcheng was not willing to listen. He had long regarded this investment as a turning point in his life and an opportunity to turn around.
Zhu Li's lips were worn out, but Mingcheng still stubbornly turned his head and refused to let go.
She became angry and slapped the table with a bang: "Su Mingcheng, did you hear what I said! You must pay back the money today to the elder brother, and the investment is over. Do you hear me?"
Su Mingcheng also became angry.
"Lili, why don't you believe me?"
"Do you know how rare this investment opportunity is? It was only through Sister Zhou's support that I had the opportunity to participate. I will not give up."
Zhu Li took a deep breath: "Mingcheng, I don't want to quarrel with you. If you still treat me as your wife, return the money to my eldest brother and pretend this never happened."
Su Mingcheng said very bachelorly: "I can't pay it back, the money has been invested and the contract has been signed."
Julie's face suddenly turned cold. She stood up with a swoosh and walked into the bedroom without looking back. With the sound of the door slamming, a sentence came from far away.
"Su Mingcheng, I won't quarrel with you. You must return the money tomorrow, otherwise you can live alone and I will go back to my parents' house."
After hearing Zhu Li's categorical words, Mingcheng held his head and fell into distress.
He didn't want to miss this investment opportunity, nor did he want to have a conflict with Julie over this. It was really difficult.
…
The next day, when he came to the company, Mingcheng was still confused.
When he saw Manager Zhou, he opened his mouth with difficulty and was about to say something.
Manager Zhou is a good person. He understood something just by looking at him and spoke in advance.
"Mingcheng, it's not like Sister Zhou said to you that a man should behave like a man."
"Sister Zhou, how do you usually treat you? You know how rare this investment opportunity is, and how many people want to participate."
"If a man has a career outside and treats his wife well at home, he loves his wife; if he doesn't have a career outside and treats his wife well at home, he is afraid of his wife."
"Do you want to love your wife? Or do you want to be afraid of your wife?"
With that said, he stretched out his finger and tapped Mingcheng's forehead, turned around and walked away.
Ming Ben had no intention of quitting in the first place, but he was pushed into a hurry by Zhu Li and was a little hesitant. Now after listening to Sister Zhou's words, he became a little more determined to invest.
He wants to be a man who loves his wife, not a man who is afraid of his wife.
He wants to impress Julie, he wants to impress the Su family, he wants to be an upright man, he wants to make a fortune, and he wants to wash away the reputation of nibbling on the elderly.
…
In the evening, Zhu Li came home early. She had been waiting for news about Mingcheng today, but there was no news at all.
She had already had a hunch, but she didn't expect that Mingcheng would be so determined to invest.
Finally, Mingcheng came back.
"Has the money been refunded?" Julie asked calmly.
Looking at Su Mingcheng who didn't say a word, she knew the answer. Whatever she said was in vain, and then she went back to the bedroom to pack her clothes and go back to her parents' home.
Mingcheng was a little anxious when he saw Zhu Li being serious about it.
"Lili, listen to my explanation."
Julie kept moving her hands: "Say!"
Mingcheng said: "Lili, it's not that I won't refund. The money has been invested and the contract has been signed. It can't be refunded anymore."
Zhu Li snorted, turned around and asked: "Didn't you say that this project is very popular? How many people want to join but don't have a chance. If you quit, other people's opportunities will come. How can you really want a good project?"
If you can’t withdraw, why are you afraid that no one will take over?”
Mingcheng opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Julie was so willful and clinging to her, which also made him a little angry.
"Lili, do you know!"
"If a man has a career outside and treats his wife well at home, he loves his wife; if he doesn't have a career outside and treats his wife well at home, he is afraid of his wife."
"I, Su Mingcheng, am also an upright man. I want to be a wife-loving one, not a henpecked one."
Hearing what Mingcheng said, Zhu Li became even more angry and became less polite.
"Su Mingcheng, my mother has always protected you very well. She has never experienced any trouble since she was a child, and she does not consider other people's feelings when doing things. Mingyu is right, you are just a weaned child, too immature and too self-centered."
When Zhu Li mentioned Mingyu, Su Mingcheng seemed to be ignited.
"Yes, yes... you're right, I'm immature, I'm an unweaned child, I'm old, so that's all."
"Where are you, Julie! No matter who I spent the money on, I spent it all on you."
"How did you get all the famous brands on your body? How did you cultivate your little princess temperament? If you weren't so squeamish, would our family be able to spend so much money as my parents?"
"I've tolerated you for a long time!"
Zhu Li was stunned and didn't believe what Su Mingcheng said. She held back tears and gritted her teeth and asked, "You've been putting up with me, right?"
Su Mingcheng scratched his neck and said: "Yes"
Julie's tears suddenly dripped down. She picked up her clothes, covered her mouth, and ran away without looking back. She could still hear a few aggrieved sniffles.
Su Mingcheng wanted to get up and chase him, but he held back.
He wants to be an upright man, no longer the man who only knows how to kneel to his wife. Doesn’t Julie just think he has no ability and money?
He has seized the opportunity, he wants to make money, make big money!
Let Zhu Li take a look. He has made a mistake. I, Su Mingcheng, am also very capable. When he succeeds and makes a lot of money, won't Zhu Li come back?
Mingcheng had many thoughts, but finally hardened his heart.
