Chapter 346 Choosing a School and Choosing a Major
That night, Xiao Ranran clung to her mother and wouldn't let go. She didn't want anyone to hold her, not even her father. She nestled in her mother's arms and never left.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help laughing at him, "I guess I'm afraid you'll leave again, so I'm holding you tight."
After hearing this, Xue Ling felt distressed and happy at the same time.
She kissed the little guy's face and whispered: "Mom will stay with you from now on, really!"
Xiao Ranran didn't seem to understand, but she just kept her neck and didn't let go.
Everyone laughed.
After everyone had dinner, Cheng Tianfang cleared the dining table.
Liu Ying looked at Xue Ling and frowned: "Why did you go so long? Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight. Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
“It’s okay!”
"What kind of business do you have, and why did you go so long?" Liu Ying said: "I heard that Ahu didn't even follow you. You wandering around alone made us worried."
"Mom, am I not good at this?" Xue Ling explained with a smile: "I just went to the south to buy a batch of sweater-making machines, and then shipped them to the imperial capital by ship. I cooperated with a friend of my father's to open a sweater factory.
I will come back as soon as the sweater factory stabilizes."
"Oh! A sweater factory? Does it knit sweaters? Machine knitting?" Liu Ying asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Xue Ling explained: "The machine knits sweaters very quickly. Uncle Zheng has good connections and is an old man in this industry. He is very experienced and has countless orders. I only provide machines and factories, and everything else
Leave it to him."
"You don't have to watch? Is it possible?" Liu Ying couldn't help but mutter: "If he hides it from you and writes random numbers in the accounts, won't we lose money?"
Xue Ling quickly explained: "There are several accountants in the factory, and they keep records of how much goods are shipped in and out every day. Moreover, my dad often goes over there to watch. If we cooperate with others, we must trust them."
"Are you a good person? Are you trustworthy?" Liu Ying asked nervously.
"He is a good person." Xue Ling replied: "I have been in contact with him, and he is a very honest and honest person. He is very practical in his life and work. At first, I took the initiative to let him arrange the share ratio, and he also specially gave me a high price. He
Although he pursues profit, he is not the kind of person who resorts to unscrupulous means."
"Mom, don't worry so much." Cheng Tianfang interrupted: "Since sister-in-law can cooperate with others, they must trust each other. Besides, the Xue family are still there, and they will definitely help to watch. Sister-in-law will probably come from time to time.
You have to go take a look."
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "I'll go up there probably once every month or two. I'll go more frequently when I have time. It's always good to go more diligently when you have a business that you have a share of."
Cheng Tianyuan felt at ease with her, helped her pack her luggage, and listened to their conversation in the room.
Liu Ying lowered her voice: "Ling, can I ask... Is it a big investment to invest in this kind of factory? If it loses money, it will be terrible!"
"It's not big." Xue Ling couldn't explain it clearly to the old man, so as not to worry her, so she wrote lightly: "Buying machines and other things, plus the factory building, it will cost - hundreds of thousands."
"What?! Hundreds of thousands!" Liu Ying's eyes widened in fright, and she trembled: "So many!"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly to herself - she had already spoken less than half of her words, and her old man was still so scared.
"Mom, two or three hundred thousand is not a lot. We can earn it back slowly. In business, you have to invest first and pay some capital costs, and then you will have a chance to earn it back later!"
"Then...then...I have to say something bad!" Liu Ying sighed and whispered: "What if we lose money? Not all businesses can make money. If you are buying and selling clothes, you just earn the middle price, and you don't have to bear it.
Big risk, right? But this is a machine and a factory, so it’s such a big sum of money..."
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "If you lose money, then do other business to make it back. There is no one-size-fits-all profit in business, so I am mentally prepared."
Liu Ying shook her head and clicked her tongue twice, and said: "Ling, I'm not saying you're bad. Mom thinks you're too bold in doing things. It's so hard to make money, so you invested it all at once... Such a big thing in the future,
We still have to discuss it with A Yuan."
"Okay, I will." Xue Ling nodded perfunctorily.
Liu Ying finally felt relieved after hearing her promise.
"You should be able to make money...I'm just talking about the worst case scenario. We have to think before we do anything, right?"
"Mom, I understand." Xue Ling said with a smile: "You are also doing it for my own good and for the good of this family. What you say makes sense. When doing business and investing, you have to worry about the consequences, that's for sure."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Liu Ying finally felt relieved from the discomfort she felt just now.
Cheng Tianfang, who was cleaning the dining table at the side, couldn't help shouting: "Mom, please stop nagging. The water in the pot is ready. You can boil the dishes and chopsticks. I have something to talk to my sister-in-law."
Liu Ying responded "Hey!" and hurried to the kitchen.
Xue Ling looked at his drowsy son in his arms, quickly hugged him horizontally and coaxed him to sleep.
The weather in May is already very hot. Fortunately, the breeze from the balcony is strong and the windows are large. There is no need to turn on the fan at home, so it is still very cool.
However, the two of them hugged each other and still felt hot and sweaty.
Seeing that the little guy was finally asleep, she quickly carried him into the room and put him on the bed.
Cheng Tianyuan threw a diaper to him and explained in a low voice: "Now I occasionally get up at night to drink milk, and occasionally sleep until dawn. It is much easier than when I was little."
Xue Ling smiled happily, folded the diaper and put it on the little one.
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "He's still a little sweaty. I'll cover him with a quilt later. Didn't A Fang say he wanted to talk to you? I'll probably be waiting for you in the living room."
"Oh!" Xue Ling turned around and walked out, seeing Cheng Tianfang sitting on the wooden sofa in the living room, holding two pieces of paper and staring at it.
"Sister-in-law, I have an exam next month. The teacher asked us to fill in our application form and said that if we get good grades, the Education Bureau above will help us adjust to a good school and major."
Xue Ling took the two pieces of paper and found that they were mainly schools in the provincial capital, including normal schools, health schools, water and electricity schools, and post offices.
"What school do you want? What major should you study? In the future, you will usually be in advanced related industries. But this is not lifelong. There are many changes in life, and you may change it many times."
Cheng Tianfang smiled sheepishly and whispered: "I...I think I'll study hydropower first. I like arithmetic better."
"As long as you like it." Xue Ling smiled and said: "If you choose a major, you will have to study for several years. After graduation, you will have to work in related industries for several years. If you don't really like it, it will be difficult to stick to it. So, the most important thing is
You like it, and then see if it fits the development of the times. Water and electricity are pretty good, and I might be able to enter the telecommunications industry in the future, and the future is also very good."
"But my mother refused." Cheng Tianfang pouted, "My mother and my father said that as a girl, I am not suitable for working in water and electricity. They hope that I will choose a normal school and become a teacher in the future. They also said
, or choose a health school and become a doctor or nurse in the future, which is very suitable for girls."
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and couldn't help but ask: "What about your brother? What did he say?"
Cheng Tianfang told the truth: "Like my sister-in-law, he said I should choose what I like."
