Seeing that she was starting to ramble again, the boss's son immediately lowered his head to do his homework.
Sure enough, the boss's wife changed the subject and said: "Son, if you have time, learn a few more tricks from your cousin, and in the future, you can coax a young lady from a rich family to become your wife. In this way, you will have something to look forward to in this life."
"I understand, Mom." The son buried his head in reading.
In fact, he also felt that what his mother said made sense.
The daughter-in-law is said to have little knowledge. His cousin has a doctorate degree and is naturally very ambitious. None of the people introduced to him by his hometown are good to him, and he despises their low education. If the family had not been rich, the daughter-in-law would never have entered.
Can't stand his cousin's eyes.
However, in this world, money is the last word.
If he could find a wealthy lady in the future, he wouldn't have to live in such a poor place.
Thinking this way, he became more motivated to study.
…
There were not enough disposable chopsticks, so Gu Luoqi ran to a nearby store to buy some. As soon as he came back, he was grabbed by the waiter Aunt Fan.
"Luo Qi, don't go in, someone is looking for your uncle."
"Who is he?" The place was bustling with people, especially at night, and the voices were very loud. Standing outside the door, she could only see a stranger in the background, who seemed to be discussing something with her uncle.
Shen Xi looked embarrassed, and even after talking for a long time, the middle-aged man didn't give in.
Then, the middle-aged man came out with a cheerful face, and Shen Xi also chased him out. He held the middle-aged man's hand and begged: "Mr. Li, you are so sudden. You took it away right away."
"What's so sudden? We didn't even sign a contract at the beginning. We just made a verbal agreement. Now I won't rent it if I don't want to. There's no discussion on this matter. You can take it away today."
After saying that, he shook off Shen Xi's hand, clutched a briefcase in a decent manner, and left.
Gu Luoqi recognized who this person was and glanced gloomily at the next door.
Sure enough, the landlady looked like she was watching the show, but when she saw her looking over, she looked away with a guilty conscience.
Aunt Fan was confused: "What's going on?"
Shen Xi forced a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, he entered the back room with a decadent look on his face.
Gu Luoqi gave the chopsticks to the waiter and went in.
"Uncle, people don't rent this place anymore?"
Shen Xi sighed and scratched his hair in annoyance, "For some reason, he refused to rent it to me even though it was fine."
Gu Luoqi heard what she just said. She thought about it and immediately understood what happened. She was silent for a while and said decisively: "Uncle, let's open a store by ourselves."
"...Huh?" Shen Xi was stunned: "Are you serious?"
Gu Luoqi was extremely serious: "What do you think?"
"..." Shen Xi jumped up and said, "No, no, the rent for shops in City S is very expensive. The rent has to be paid at once for a year. If the business doesn't start, we will suffer a big loss."
"You haven't done it yet, how can you be sure that you will lose money?" Gu Luoqi looked around the three-point area: "Your cooking skills are very good, but you have been hiding here all the time."
Shen Xi dropped out of school at a young age and has been living in confusion for so many years. Overtly and secretly, many people called him a loser. This was the first time someone used the word "buried" to describe him.
It was as if he was a pearl that had been temporarily covered in dust.
Shen Xi scratched his head, sat slumped on the chair, and asked uncertainly: "You, do you really think I'm a piece of cake?"
Gu Luoqi looked certain: "Yes, you are my uncle, I believe you."
