Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Just in time, I have prepared a table of food in the private room upstairs. Let's sit down and chat while eating. Please tell me carefully what you miss about me."

When the door of the box was closed, Tang Ting started chattering non-stop.

She talked about the business she did with Chen Qiaoqiao some time ago.

"I made a little money, although it's not too much, but it's better than working in a factory and getting a dead salary of tens of dollars a month. I used the money I earned from doing business several times to give it to my parents, brother and sister-in-law. I bought gifts and they were very happy, but my relatives were not happy and attacked me personally one by one.”

It turned out that Tang Ting was the first person in the Tang family to be admitted to college and was a student of Huaqing University. While the family elders congratulated her, they were also jealous of Tang Ting's parents.

Therefore, when they learned that Tang Ting, a college student, did not study hard during the winter vacation, but instead set up a stall and ran a small business with her college roommates, those relatives seemed to have found some kind of fun and belittled Tang Ting as useless.

"I couldn't listen anymore, so I told them that I made a lot of money by setting up a stall, but guess what?"

"I guess they asked you to borrow money. If nothing else, the reason should be that your cousin is getting married, but the woman's family's demands are too high, so they can't get much money, right?"

Tang Ting slapped the table with her right hand and said excitedly: "That's right! It's exactly what you said, Aning!"

"So you borrowed money?"

"I'm not stupid. They look down on me, and they still want me to borrow money? Unless I'm crazy! I just ridiculed them. The job is so glamorous, and I still work in an office. The children are so old, and I haven't seen them at all. Isn’t it a shame for someone who has saved a little money to borrow money from a junior?”

"They couldn't save their face, so they got angry with me, but I ignored them."

Tang Ting's description was so vivid that Xu Wanning and the others could already imagine the scene.

Xu Wanning thought of Tang Ting's parents and couldn't help but ask: "What is your parents' attitude towards your business?"

"My dad doesn't think it's okay. He said that as long as I live a happy life, I don't need to care about worldly opinions. But my mom thinks that my dad is the factory director, and I am the factory director's daughter. I am also a student at Huaqing University. I am a small boy. There’s something really shameful about business.”

"Then I told her that my roommate, Comrade Xu Wanning, was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination. She was also the favorite of the college teachers. Even the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was vying for her, so she wasn't Do you run a restaurant and do business? As long as the money is earned cleanly, there is no distinction between high and low."

Chen Qiaoqiao urged Tang Ting: "What happened next? What did your mother say later?"

Tang Ting's face drooped, "My mother said, who am I to be compared with Wan Ning? Then I became depressed. Hey! It seems that I am really her biological child."

If she hadn't been her biological child, her mother wouldn't have told her so straightforwardly.

"Tingting, you must not be depressed!"

Hearing the word depression, Xu Wanning's heart tightened.

Tang Ting burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I'm not that neurasthenic. I know how big the gap is between you and me, even if my mother doesn't tell me."

"The reason why I gave your example is to tell her that I went to college to have a good job in the future, and to have a good job is to earn a high salary. The essence is to make money. Why can't I overtake others and go straight to business?" What? The money I earn from my small business is higher than her and my father’s monthly salary!”

What Tang Ting said is correct, but compared with the deep-rooted thoughts of her parents' generation, it seems a little deviant.

"Not only Tingting, but Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao must also listen carefully. Doing business can make money, but it also comes with risks. If you can make money, you may lose money. If possible, I suggest you take care of yourselves. My job is to study hard during the few years I am in college."

"As long as your professional knowledge is excellent and your graduation examination scores are excellent, I will find a way to help you get into a good employer. Although the essence of work and small business is to make money, the social status is different."

"Tingting, you have reached a dead end now. If you are only thinking about how to make money and how to make more money, but ignore what you should focus on now, that is truly putting the cart before the horse. "

Maybe Xu Wanning's tone was too serious, but Tang Ting was a little scared when she heard it, "Wanning, what should I do?"

"As I just said, study hard and have excellent professional knowledge. When school starts again, I will open a boutique and you can use your free time to work, and I will pay you wages and commissions. In addition, You need to focus most of your energy on your studies.”

"Tingting, you are right to want to make money. No one can criticize your behavior. But what I want to say is that you should provide yourself with a path to choose from in your life."

“After you graduate and have a good job, you can choose to give up your job and start a small business, or conversely, give up your small business and go work, or you can do both. "

"If you give up your studies now and continue to run your small business, one day in the future, you will suddenly remember that you clearly had other options, but you chose to give up."

"Although there are thousands of paths in life, none of which are necessarily right or wrong, but with one more choice, your life will have unlimited possibilities."

This is not the first time that Xu Wanning talks to Tang Ting and the others.

But after listening to it so many times, it was this time that gave Tang Ting the greatest impulse.

Gu Meng also said: "Yes, Tingting, you should listen more to Wanning's analysis. You used Wanning as an example before, but have you ever thought about it. While Wanning opened a restaurant, she also took care of her studies, and even We also overcame the problem of greenhouse cultivation and developed hybrid rice together with academicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.”

"She's not saying that doing business is bad, because she's doing it herself. She just wants to tell you that you can actually do both."

"What about you?" Tang Ting asked, "Mengmeng, what do you and Qiaoqiao think?"

Gu Meng continued: "Qiaoqiao and I have already discussed that after school starts, we will concentrate on studying and try to get Wanning to help us arrange a good job. Of course, when we study, we will also be with her Working in a boutique, you can do both, there is no conflict.”
