Chapter 278 Stupid without knowing it
After all, Li Xiu and her daughter did not trust the eldest wife's family enough and had their own little thoughts in their minds. In the evening, Lin Mei still went out on a date with Zhang Yong to watch a movie.
This was the first time that Lin Mei came to the provincial capital. After arriving, she went to Lin Wei's house in a daze as soon as she got off the train. She had no chance to visit the provincial capital properly in the past few days.
Not to mention the night markets in the provincial capital.
The People's Cinema Street is bustling with people from all over the city at night.
"How is it? Is it fun here?"
Zhang Yong brought Lin Mei to the entrance of the cinema, queued up to buy popcorn and soda, and showed off to Lin Mei with a proud look on his face.
"It's lively. How come there are still so many people out in the city at night?" Lin Mei looked at the brightly dressed girls next to her with envy. "In our hometown, everyone stays at home to wash and sleep at night. The nightlife is not as rich as in the city. Your provincial capital is still better."
Thinking about being locked up in a dark cellar for more than a year and being tortured by the old man every night, Lin Mei's eyes were filled with gloom.
Lin Shu is really lucky.
The fiancé who had been arranged for her since childhood was snatched away by her, and in the end, she was able to find someone with a better family background.
God is so unfair. Is he blind?
"You think the provincial capital is good? I think it's just so-so. I'm tired of seeing this kind of scene every day." Zhang Yong said, then changed the subject, "But now that you're shopping with me, I suddenly feel that the night view tonight is a hundred times more dazzling than usual, and even the air around me is sweet."
Lin Mei lowered her head in shame.
When it was their turn, Zhang Yong ordered two bottles of soda, a bag of melon seeds, and a bag of popcorn. He got the change and turned back to ask Lin Mei, "What else do you want to eat?"
Lin Mei glanced at the snacks on the shelf and shook her head: "That's all."
The two left the team. There was still a long time before the movie started. Zhang Yong saw oranges in the fruit shop next to him, so he dragged Lin Mei to the fruit shop again, "Meizi, do you want to eat oranges?"
"Too expensive." Lin Mei looked at the price and exclaimed, "Let's not buy it. This orange is too expensive."
"Oranges in this season are off-season fruits, so naturally the price is not low." Zhang Yong picked and chose four oranges and asked the clerk to weigh them.
Four oranges cost only two dollars and eighty cents.
Lin Mei smacked her lips and said, "Four oranges cost only 2.80 yuan, which is equivalent to 70 cents per orange. 70 cents can buy a pound of pork in my hometown. The fruit in your provincial capital is really expensive!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand nonchalantly, pointed to a store where many people were buying fruit, and asked, "Do you know who owns this fruit store that makes a lot of money every day?"
"Whose?" Lin Mei knew that Zhang Yong would not ask this question for no reason. It was either a relative of his family or someone he knew.
Lin Mei thought of a possibility and shook her head, unwilling to believe it.
She didn't want to believe it, but Zhang Yong spoke up: "Lin's Noodle Shop is owned by Boss Lin's brother-in-law. You call Boss Lin brother, so his sister is your cousin?"
"My cousin." Lin Mei thought for a moment and explained, "She is only one month younger than me."
"This fruit shop belongs to your cousin's husband."
After that, Zhang Yong pointed to several shoe stores, clothing stores and hypermarkets nearby and said, "These stores are all his. To be honest, I admire your brother-in-law's vision. When others thought it was shameful to do business, he had already started a company with his brothers."
Lin Mei was confused. "Start a company?"
Seeing her confused expression, Zhang Yong thought she didn't understand, so he patiently explained, "Mr. Gu, that's your brother-in-law. They were a group of good friends since childhood, and they founded a company together. These stores were opened when their company was first established. Now they are standing on the most prosperous street in the city. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are making a fortune every day."
Lin Mei frowned slightly, and when she spoke, her tone was full of contempt: "I heard that my brother-in-law used to be a second-rate person, and the people he hung out with were all street urchins. Street urchins can make money by opening any company, which means they are just blind cats that have encountered dead mice, and they made their fortunes by picking up leaks."
Zhang Yong looked down at the conceited Lin Mei in surprise, disagreeing with her words, "What a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. You should know that your brother-in-law is from a rich family. How bad can the family background of the brothers he plays with be?"
No matter where you are, as long as you have money and power, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Mr. Gu has all of these. How could it be as simple as a blind cat catching a dead mouse for them to start a company?
Lin Mei only knew that Gu Jiu's family background was better than the Lin family's, that he was from the provincial capital, and that his parents both had jobs, but she didn't know the specific details.
"What do Gu Jiu's parents do?"
Zhang Yong: ...
Do I need to explain the family backgrounds of the children in the compound?
He has been trying to win over Lin Mei recently because he has his eyes on the power of the Gu family. If he can be related to the Gu family, it will be much easier for him to get along in the factory in the future.
To put it another way, even if he doesn't work in the factory in the future, following behind Mr. Gu, any money he gets from his fingers will be enough for him to have food and clothing.
It was only through this period of contact that he discovered that the woman in front of him was extremely stupid.
Not only does she fail to recognize the situation, but she also always thinks she is the smartest person in the world.
Actually.
Sometimes these smart-aleck people are the most terrifying.
It was just a normal chat, and Lin Mei had no idea that Zhang Yong was already thinking about something else. She looked at the several stores that were doing booming business, and her eyes became red with jealousy.
The two entered the cinema. The movie was being prepared for screening and the lights in the theater had been turned off.
Zhang Yong was already considering whether it was necessary for him to continue his close relationship with her.
It's just that in this dark environment, it seems that people's three views are infinitely magnified. He hasn't touched a woman in his life for more than 30 years, and his physiological reaction makes him ignore her shortcomings.
The two of them were very sticky. They finished watching a movie. It was unclear what the movie was about, but Lin Mei knew that Zhang Yong touched her almost all over.
Lin Mei tried hard to calm herself down. The people in the provincial capital were having such a great time.
At the same time, she was wondering, when Lin Shu and Gu Jiu first met, did Lin Shu also experience the same treatment from her?
......
A good night's sleep.
After breakfast, Gu Jiu went to deal with company matters.
Chen Fei is in charge of factory affairs in Guangdong Province, while Gu Jiu is basically in charge of company affairs in the provincial capital.
After being away for more than a month, Lin Shu had a lot of things piled up waiting for her to deal with.
There are things to deal with in hotels, restaurants, warehouses, clothing stores and several other stores.
It was almost eleven o'clock when she finished.
When I got home, Gu Jiu had already returned and was preparing water bottles, pants and other items for the children to go out.
Yesterday, Gu Youhui told them that they would go back to the old house for a dinner today. When Lin Shu came back, he took out the specialties he brought back from the northwest and divided them into several portions.
Her brothers on her mother's side got several shares, and her brothers on the Gu family got several shares.
Liu Xiao'e looked at the meat they had divided up and said with a smile, "I saw you carrying two sacks back yesterday, and it seemed like a lot. Now that we've divided it up like this, there won't be much left in each portion."
Lin Dashan glared at his wife, then looked at Gu Jiu, then smiled and said, "The price of the dried meat should not be low. Each portion is about five catties, which is considered a heavy gift. Moreover, five catties of dried meat requires at least eight catties of fresh meat. Meat is a good thing, especially beef and mutton. You can steam it, stir-fry it, or stew it. You can't buy it here even if you have money."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "We also kept a lot for ourselves. Dad, this beef jerky fried with chili tastes good and is suitable as a snack. Ask Sister Chen to stew the beef jerky for half an hour, and then stir-fry it with chili in the evening. It will go well with rice."
Lin Dashan smiled and nodded: "Okay, you don't have to worry about us at home, just go to the old house and have fun."
Liu Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him. What was the difference between being at her daughter's house and being at home? She felt it was unnecessary to be so careful and look at her son-in-law's expression when speaking.
The child was tied in front of him with a sling, and the specialties brought to the old house were tied to the back seat of the bicycle.
When we arrived at the old house, the Gu brothers had already arrived.
"Youngest, why are you four so slow? It took us half a day to see you come back."
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Gu Zhiyuan's voice.
Gu Jiulinshu greeted everyone, took all the gifts to the kitchen, and handed them to Wang Suzhen who was helping in the kitchen.
When Wang Suzhen saw Dabao and Erbao, she stopped picking vegetables, washed her hands, came out, hugged the two children and kissed them.
"Grandma's big baby, you've grown taller in half a month since I last saw you."
Gu Jiu untied Erbao from his body and said, "We haven't seen each other for half a month. Have you visited Dabao and Erbao during the time we were away?"
Wang Suzhen took Erbao over and pushed Gu Jiu away with disdain: "Do you think I am you? I have been away for more than a month. The children almost forgot that they have two parents."
"Grandma~" Lin Shu untied Dabao, and as soon as he put him on the ground, he trotted forward and hugged Wang Suzhen's legs.
Wang Suzhen was attracted by Dabao's baby voice and immediately forgot about nagging the couple.
Everyone sat down in the living room, and Gu Changsheng asked Gu Jiu and the others about their trip to the Northwest.
Gu Jiu briefly explained the situation.
Gu Changsheng nodded and looked at Lin Shu: "Ninth brother's daughter-in-law, I heard from Nuan that you want to start a clothing factory?"
Lin Shu first glanced at Gu Nuan who was helping to look after the children, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is still in preparation. Right now, the clothes for our brand store are temporarily processed by the First Garment Factory."
Gu Changsheng is very concerned about young people starting their own businesses: "Have you found a factory? How are the formalities going?"
Lin Shu: "The formalities are almost done, but we haven't found a site for the factory yet."
Gu Changsheng reminded her: "The original Jingyuan District Match Factory was later merged with the Provincial Match Factory. The factory area over there has been in a state of disrepair. Recently, I heard that their factory area is ready to be rented out. If you want it, you should be able to buy it after going through the procedures and applying to the higher authorities."
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Thank you for letting me know, Dad. I'll have someone supervise this matter next week."
Gu Changsheng hummed lightly and focused his attention on Dabao and Erbao.
"Aunt, does your clothing factory have sufficient funds? Do you need to raise funds? I happen to have some spare money, how about I invest some money?" Gu Youhui asked at this time.
