Wen Ying squeezed 3,000 yuan of private money from Lao Wen and did not give it to Chen Ru immediately.
It's best to pay this money on the way to the Magic City. Otherwise, if Lao Wen paid 3,000 yuan, he might not be touched by Chen Ru, but tortured by his soul as to why he hid his private money.
Alas, she is still soft-hearted and is too kind to Lao Wen.
Maybe it’s because Lao Wen has been performing very well recently?
Wen Ying wants to go to the Magic City to compete, and there is no shortage of expenses.
First of all, the organizer of the competition can reimburse the contestants' travel expenses, and the standard is not more than 500 yuan. If Wen Ying goes to Shanghai alone, taking a train is almost enough, but she is going to fly with Chen Ru, and the standard of 500 yuan is obviously not enough.
A lot.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about travel expenses."
Chen Ru wanted to renovate her house and buy a car. Her income was high, but her hands were tighter than before. She did not spend too much money on clothes and jewelry like Wen Hongyan did when she was poor and suddenly got rich.
But Wen Ying went to the Magic City to compete, and if she won the prize, her admission score would be reduced. In Chen Ru's view, this was an investment in education.
Every amount of money invested in education should be spent.
Sometimes you can’t see the returns right now, or even for a long time. But without this bit by bit accumulation, how can we complete the process from quantitative change to qualitative change?
Therefore, Wen Ying's travel expenses, food and accommodation to the Magic City, just like Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong's enrollment in cram schools to improve their English proficiency, are what Chen Ru thinks must be spent.
Going by train?
It saves money, but it wastes too much time.
She was too tired on the road and couldn't rest well, which affected Wen Ying's performance in the competition. Chen Ru felt that the loss was not worth the loss.
Without Wen Ying's words, Chen Ru booked two tickets to fly to Shanghai.
Deng Shangwei heard that Wen Ying was so ambitious and was going to the Magic City to participate in a competition, so he quickly gave Wen Ying a red envelope to tell Wen Ying not to be too frugal.
"Uncle, I have money..."
"Your money is yours, keep it, what I give you is for you, just spend it!"
Deng Shangwei was very happy. He felt that Wen Ying was so knowledgeable that she seemed to know everything.
Deng Shangwei stuffed Wen Ying with 5,000 yuan.
Chen Ru must not have allowed Wen Ying to accept it before. After Pan Li's incident, Chen Ru also figured it out and asked Wen Ying to take the money: "If you are embarrassed to spend it, just help your aunt and two cousins in the magic city."
Bring some gifts back."
Anyway, the money will eventually be spent on Chen Li, mother and son. We can't let Deng Shangwei's wallet be too rich, and the vixens outside will stick to Deng Shangwei one after another.
Oh, then just accept it.
Before setting off for the Magic City, Wen Ying already had 8,000 yuan in her hand.
What she never expected was that before departure, Xie Qiansai gave her an exercise book and asked her to do it when she got free in Shanghai. Wen Ying was bored and flipping through the exercise book while waiting at the airport, but something fell out of the exercise book.
Draw out a small square card.
Wen Ying blinked.
Why is there a bank card in the exercise book?
Before Chen Ru saw it, Wen Ying quickly picked up the bank card and put it in her pocket.
The fact that a bank card fell out of the exercise book given by Xie Qian doesn't mean anything. It may be that Xie Qian accidentally dropped his card into the exercise book and didn't find it. Wen Ying felt guilty inexplicably.
"What did you drop?"
Chen Ru saw Wen Ying bending down, but did not see Wen Ying pick up anything.
In the spirit of a dead Taoist friend never dying a poor Taoist, Wen Ying betrayed Comrade Lao Wen before even getting on the plane.
She took out the three thousand yuan given by Wen Dongrong from her schoolbag:
"Mom, my dad gave this to me. He said he wanted us to have better food and better accommodation in the city."
Chen Ru stared.
After agreeing to save money for decoration and buying a car, Wen Dongrong handed over all his income. Recently, he also said that he would quit smoking. Chen Ru also felt that Wen Dongrong no longer smelled like smoke.
It turns out that the money has not been handed over yet, and there is still private money.
Chen Ru didn't know whether to be happy or angry. She put away the three thousand yuan and forgot about Wen Ying picking up the things.
"Why did he say that specifically? I won't treat you badly without him paying me!"
Of course, with an extra three thousand yuan, the budget for going to Magic City will indeed be more abundant.
As they were about to get on the plane, Chen Ru decided to go to Shanghai and come back to settle the score with Wen Dongrong.
Wen Ying touched the card in her pocket and secretly sent a text message to Xie Qian.
"Why is your bank card in the book? I won't give it to you until I return to Chengdu!"
Xie Qian should be in class now, but he hasn't replied to her message. Wen Ying is a little uneasy.
Chen Ru wondered, "It's not your first time flying, why are you nervous?"
Wen Ying fastened her seat belt and whispered: "Mom, this is the first time you and I are flying out of the province together. After the game is over, can we spend one more day in Shanghai and treat it as a trip?"
When these words came out, not to mention Chen Ru was startled, Wen Ying herself felt very sad.
Whether it was on a business trip or traveling with He Zhen, Wen Ying had visited quite a few places in her previous life, both at home and abroad.
But traveling out of the province with your parents?
Sorry, this is true.
This is not the family atmosphere that the Wen family of three would have.
When Wen Ying was not financially independent, she could not make this request. When she became financially independent, her relationship with her parents became worse year by year. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong both thought about how to call her back to her hometown and let her take the civil service exam.
, asked her to get married on a blind date, and both the couple disdained Wen Ying, who had worked alone in the magic city for six years.
If other people's children can gain a foothold in first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, as long as their hands and feet are still moving, they should take a look at their children's work and living environment. When it comes to Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong, is it true?
impossible.
Going to the Magic City to see Wen Ying, wouldn't it be a signal that Wen Ying agrees to stay in the Magic City?
That absolutely won’t work!
Wen Ying remembered that she had bought a house in Shanghai in her previous life, and on the day she paid the down payment, she called Chen Ru to tell her that she had bought a house.
Chen Ru didn't believe it at first, but then asked about the situation of Wen Ying's house. She heard that Wen Ying had paid a down payment of more than 4 million yuan. Chen Ru did not congratulate Wen Ying, but felt that Wen Ying was showing off——
"Just buy it. If you can't repay the loan in the future, don't expect your father and I to pay for it. You can pay for your own house by yourself. We have plenty of houses in Chengdu, and we will never live in your house!"
Chen Ru's tone at that time was decisive.
When Wen Ying thinks of this now, it's not that she wants to hold on to the hurt, but she feels too puzzled now that in her previous life she could handle difficult clients, but she couldn't handle her parents. The parent-child relationship could actually deteriorate to this point. Now she thinks about it.
Come to think of it, her 'happy life' is not really a success.
What's even more magical is that Ms. Chen Ru, who promised never to step into the Magic City in her previous life, is now sitting next to Wen Ying, and is going to the Magic City with Wen Ying to participate in the semi-finals of the New Concept Essay Contest.
Well, this is even less likely than Wen Ying’s chance of making it to the semi-finals!
Chen Ru even asked for leave, whether it was Wen Ying's leave at school or Chen Ru's leave at work. Today she will go to Magic City, tomorrow she will compete, the organizer will present awards the day after tomorrow, and the mother and daughter should get on the plane back to Chengdu the night after tomorrow.
It will take a total of three days before and after.
Unexpectedly, while still on the plane, Wen Ying made an even more demanding request. If she wanted to stay in the Magic City for one more day, she would treat it as a trip to the Magic City!
It's quite a beautiful thought.
Chen Ru's first reaction was to refuse, and then she noticed that Wen Ying's eyes were wandering, as if she did not dare to look directly at herself.
Is this what you said out loud, but you think it’s too much to ask for?
I don't know why, but Chen Ru couldn't say anything when she refused.
The couple really didn't take Wen Ying on many trips.
When Wen Ying was a child, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were not that busy at work. Although their wages were tight, they would take Wen Ying to play in parks and other places from time to time.
Chen Ru remembered that Wen Ying was going to be in the fourth grade of elementary school during the summer vacation. Wen Ying did very well in the final exam that year. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong planned to take Wen Ying to Hangzhou to play. The couple had arranged a public holiday early.
Wen Ying was so happy that she packed her clothes for Hangzhou without Chen Ru's help.
But on the eve of booking the ticket, Wen Hongyan and Shu Guobing came to the house and said that they wanted to transfer Shu Lu to the city to attend elementary school, so the trip to Hangzhou was delayed.
Chen Ru was helping Shu Lu to find a school. Shu Lu had a rural registered permanent residence and wanted to go to a good elementary school in the city. Wen Dongrong's position was not as high as it is now. To solve this problem, he had to rely on one favor and another, which was quite troublesome.
of.
By the time the matter was settled, the two people's official vacation was almost over. More importantly, the Shu family of three moved into the city, and Wen Dongrong gave another money and misappropriated the travel budget for Hangzhou.
Chen Ru had forgotten how she comforted Wen Ying at that time.
I seem to have said that there will be another chance to go there in the future?
As a child, you can just fool around, and you can really compete with your parents!
Then, every winter and summer vacation, there are always some emergencies. Either something happened to Wen’s family, or Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong couldn’t leave their jobs. Until Wen Ying is now a freshman in high school, Hangzhou tourism has not been mentioned again.
On the agenda.
Chen Ru regretted it more or less.
Two days ago, Wen Dongrong was still asking her if he should also take leave. The couple went to the Magic City to accompany Wen Ying in the competition. Chen Ru thought that for one more person, she would need an extra round-trip air ticket and book an extra room.
Refused.
If I had known that Wen Ying still remembered what happened six or seven years ago, I should have agreed to come with Wen Dongrong.
She didn't think it was anything before, but now that Wen Ying's wings are getting harder, Chen Ru feels that the child is difficult to control, and she doesn't want Wen Ying to use the "ground" to question her parents' prestige.
Chen Ru's words of rejection came to her lips and she suddenly turned a corner:
"Really just stay one more day?"
"Of course it's true, don't you have to go back to school and work?"
Today is Monday. The original plan was to return to Chengdu on Wednesday, but it was postponed one day to Thursday.
If Wen Ying wants to cheat again and wait until Friday to come back, it would be better to just have fun in the Magic City for a few days and wait until Sunday to return.
What Chen Ru was afraid of was that Wen Ying would push her too far. Now that she had agreed, she agreed to Wen Ying's request.
Now it was Wen Ying's turn to feel strange.
Manager Chen is a bit too talkative.
How much expectation does this have for her to win the first prize?
If she doesn't win the prize after the competition, I feel like Manager Chen will immediately perform a Sichuan Opera face-changing stunt for her.
The plane landed at the Magic City Airport. Wen Ying turned on the phone and received a text message from Xie Qian.
Xie Qian replied to Wen Ying with a series of numbers.
