    Chapter 195

    The returned overseas Chinese who wears glasses is called Gu Zhanqing. He returned to China with his father to join the construction army of the motherland a few years ago. Now he is planning to invest in a shopping mall. Although the privatization of the company will take a few years to be realized, but now all jobs are unemployed. In some special cases, although this shopping mall is in the name of state-owned, the proportion of state-owned capital is already very low, so low that it does not even have decision-making power.

    "Little classmate, it's like this," Gu Zhanwang pointed at the wall, "We want to invite the people who painted these paintings to help us paint the shopping mall. It's easy to discuss the time and remuneration, and the shopping mall is not built so quickly. You can come to paint during summer vacation, and I promise to give you the best treatment."

    The rice ball didn't want to shake his head and said, "We don't have time, and we only help our own store design, not outsiders."

    Gu Zhanwang paused: "So you painted these paintings? Actually, you don't have to reject me so early. You can discuss it with your parents first. Maybe they have different opinions?"

    Onigiri shook his head again: "We can make the decision ourselves, what is rare is the most expensive, strictly speaking, we are Rival, we will help you draw the shopping mall, in the future our store will not be the only one, and it will affect our business if it is not too expensive. ."

    Gu Zhanwang: "..." Is this child thinking a little too much?

    Gu Zhanwang is a little suspicious of life. Take a closer look at this small shop with a maximum of 50 square meters. Is it already good enough to be his Rival?

    "How old are you this year?" Is this kid in his teens at most? The logic and order of the speech is irrefutable.

    Onigiri said, "I'm eleven years old, it doesn't matter my age. When I was five years old, I could make my own decisions."

    After Xiao Rou Bao finished a bowl of rice, he finally lifted his fleshy face buried in the rice bowl and said, "Our family is very democratic, when I was three years old, I could decide whether I could eat three bowls of rice or five. It's a bowl of rice, Uncle Yang, I want to add another bowl of rice!"

    Gu Zhan Zhan: "..." This baby doll who doesn't even know weaning has not been weaned still knows democracy? This family is incredible, and he is more curious about what kind of parents can raise such a child.

    Gu Zhanwang held up his glasses and said, "Sorry, my little classmate, your small shop is not enough for my Rival, and your murals are not impossible to copy. I just need to find a few painters to have a look, and it will be the same. It's not difficult to draw it."

    Onigiri said, "It's the same way to draw eggs, but different people draw them differently. You can try to see if you can achieve the effect of our shop." Onigiri pointed to his head, "Don't underestimate my mother, we In the future, many branches will be opened, not only in the capital, but also in other cities. We can design each store differently. How many can you open in your shopping mall? Every family is designed differently, no matter how you follow the trend, we are the founders, and you can’t compare to that alone.”

    Gu Zhanwang asks himself about his achievements. He has lived in advanced countries for many years and has seen many things in the world. Everywhere he goes, there are people who respectfully call out "Mr. Gu", but today he really taught an eleven-year-old child a lesson. No, even the doll that eats a lot of meat and milk has taught him a lesson.

    It is really gratifying that the young people of the motherland are so strong.

    Gu Zhanqing said: "I want to see your parents, how is it convenient?"

    The rice balls had rice in their mouths, and Zhuzi said, "It's not a matter of inconvenience, they are very busy, and they may not come back for dinner at noon."

    Gu Zhanwang: "So, can you tell me who painted these murals?"

    Zhuzi said: "We all have a share, improvise, paint whatever comes to mind, if you want to copy, we will paint something else in two days, you can't follow us to change it, right?"

    Gu Zhanwang hard to believe, he really didn't know what to say. Before he came, he had learned about the "three meals and four seasons" business model, and asked, "Can I order meals from you?"

    "Wait a minute, I'll check." Onigiri at the door is naturally welcome, and after checking the reservation book at the cashier, he said, "This week's appointment is full, and it will be next Tuesday at the earliest, but next week's menu is still available. It hasn't come out yet, but you can book it if you don't mind."

    Gu Zhanqing opened his wallet and took out a few pieces of Great Unity: "Every day after next Tuesday, you can help me book two copies. I'll come over someday when I'm free."

    It's a pity that he can't see their parents today, and he still wants to meet them.

    The rice ball said, "We won't refund the money until no one arrives after the meal time."

    Gu Zhanqing nodded and said, "I know."

    It's a fool to have money and not make money. Onigiri registered the money and the scheduled time for him to sign.

    Gu Zhanqing was even more surprised when he saw the words on the rice ball: "You can write so well in ligatures?"

    Onigiri waved his hand: "Don't bury me, my words are the ugliest in the whole family."

    The rice ball is telling the truth, his calligraphy is naturally many times better than the average person, but his patience is not as good as pillars and small beans, and he can't practice calligraphy as hard as they do.

    Gu Zhanwang: "..." He didn't really want to talk to this smart kid at first, and he was easily attacked.

    After Gu Zhanwang left, Zhuzi asked, "What if he really set his sights on our store and learned all our murals?"

    The rice ball said: "There's no way, my mother said that the decoration is just adding flowers to the brocade. Our products are the key to keeping guests. It's inevitable for others to follow the trend, and you can't control it. You don't find new openings nearby. Are all the stores imitating ours? Some even have murals painted on the outside of the walls, but it doesn’t affect the business of our store.”

    Zhuzi nodded: "That's right."

    Su Xiaoxiao came back late today because of something. When he entered the door, he heard the conversation of the cubs and asked, "What happened today?"

    Onigiri recounted what happened just now, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you want to take up this job and earn some pocket money without affecting your studies, it's okay, it can not only exercise, but also help you get started. Fame, but only during winter and summer vacations, not usually."

    Onigiri said: "No matter how famous can it be like a daily newspaper? We are not short of fame, and we are not short of pocket money. In short, he is our imaginary enemy now, and I have already blown it out. Mom, you must open restaurants all over the country in the future. Go, or I won't be able to keep my face down."

    Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

    "Okay, for the sake of our cub's face, mom will work hard."

    Su Xiaoxiao overheard classmates say that the price of gold has recently risen again. These days, any family with a little background, or a family whose ancestors were landowners will save some gold and silver jewelry. The incident of digging up treasures when the house is rebuilt in later generations is more And more emerges, the classmates who have a way at home all say that if you have gold and you want to realize it, it is best in the past two years.

    Su Xiaoxiao wanted to turn the gold into real estate as soon as possible, and then set aside some money to wait for two years of reform and opening up to maximize his assets, but Han Songbai currently lives in an old house and married a new aunt, and now he wants to dig for gold It's not convenient either.

    When Hancheng came back in the evening, Su Xiaoxiao told Hancheng about it.

    Hancheng said: "There is no inconvenience. The old house is registered in my name, and we have no intention of taking the gold alone. We will discuss with the uncle open and aboveboard."

    Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No, I think it's better to find out this uncle who suddenly appeared first. What if she has other purposes for marrying the uncle? I don't know if I'm sensitive. I heard the surname Jiang. I'm always a little uneasy."

    Hancheng glanced at his wife, put his arms around her and kissed her: "Jiangxue and I are really not what you think, maybe she has that idea, but I don't, otherwise there would be no rice balls and bean buns."

    Su Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry and thumped him: "Where did you think you went? I didn't mean that."

    Hancheng stroked her arm: "It's fine if it's not."

    Hancheng thought that Su Xiaoxiao's obsession with buying a yard was because he considered that Dabao and Xiaobao would also come to the capital to study in the future, and it might not be necessary for Su Weimin and Li Yufeng to come and live together. They didn't plan to go back to the old house. The yard can't even live.

    Hancheng thought, digging for gold should be on the agenda.

    Speaking of the old house of the Han family, Jiang Huai has been going to the old house of the Han family quite a bit recently, playing chess today, drinking a small drink tomorrow, eating roast duck the day after tomorrow, and calling by the glorified name of to contact the relationship between relatives , after all, now Jiang Huai calls Han Songbai a brother-in-law. don't know how deep their relationship is.

    Jiang Huai dropped a black spot and said inadvertently, "Brother-in-law, I think our yard in the alley is the most stylish of your family, but it is true that it has not been repaired for some years. You and my sister have been arguing for so long. Are you really not going to renovate it?"

    Han Songbai didn't want to drop a piece of white to intercept it, and shook his head: "I'm used to it, and old objects also have feelings of old objects. The tiles on the roof are also a good house. Qiulan is quick-witted and nimble- Fingered, after she married me, she took good care of the house inside and out, even if you gave me a new house, you wouldn't change it."

    Jiang Huai sighed and said, "That's a pity, but I think the new courtyard is comfortable to live in."

    Han Songbai disapproved and said, "You are rich and noble, and mine is cheap. I am uncomfortable living in a new house. I have to live in an old house like this to be comfortable."

    Jiang Huai saw that he couldn't enter the oil and salt, and he had no intention of continuing to play chess. He glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. I'll pick up my grandson from school. Let's play another day."

    Jiang Qiulan was about to cook: "Brother, will you leave without eating?"

    Jiang Huai waved his hand and said, "I won't eat it today. Next time, you have to live a good life with your brother-in-law."

    Jiang Qiulan nodded: "Brother, don't worry, Brother Han, he treats me very well, I will send it to you."

    Han Songbai waved his hand: "Go."

    After the two left, Han Songbai looked at their backs with unclear meaning.

    After passing the Chuihuamen, Jiang Huai impatient asked, "Can't you find out at all?"

    Jiang Qiulan said: "Brother, I have found out, Han Songbai is an empty shell, and he has no property under his name. The yard is registered in the name of Hancheng. As for the gold you mentioned, I recently turned the yard inside and out. I don't know how many times, let alone gold, I haven't even seen silver."

    Jiang Huai half-squinted: "What did you say? The yard was registered under Hancheng's name? When did it happen?" He had clearly checked it before, but it was not under Hancheng's name.

    Jiang Qiulan shook his head: "Then I don't know, but Big Brother Han said it himself, saying that he would settle me well before going to the ground, but this yard will be reserved for Hancheng and his children."

    Jiang Huai said, "It's okay, I'll investigate this matter."

    Jiang Qiulan said: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, Brother Han is a good person and treats me well, but now I really have to do everything like a nanny. He is like an uncle. If you don’t do it, you just say that you are nice to me and treat me like a guest. Clothing, Food, Housing, and Transportation will not be short of me, and give me a lot of pocket money every month, but we all sleep in separate rooms. I never know what he was thinking."

    Jiang Huai said in surprise: "You said you sleep in separate rooms?"

    Jiang Qiulan nodded and said, "I have been sleeping in separate rooms since the first day of the license. It is said that he is old and used to sleeping alone over the years, and many people around him cannot sleep well. We are not thinking about that at our age. , that is, my heart is always unsteady.”

    Jiang Huai sighed and patted Jiang Qiulan's shoulder: "Okay, I understand, anyway, you are also a person, if you think he is good, you can live with him after you get along well, he is always a gentleman, no If you have treated you badly, you don’t need to inquire about other things, let’s stop there.”

    Jiang Qiulan was puzzled: "But eldest brother, you didn't say..."

    Jiang Huai raised his hand to interrupt her: "That's it, no matter what, he is a good match. You will never lose money by marrying him. This is probably the fate between you."

    Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath and nodded, "I see, I will live a good life with him."

    Jiang Huai turned to leave and turned around: "Has Xiaoxue contacted you recently?"

    Jiang Qiulan shook her head and said, "No, last time I heard that she went to perform abroad. After going away for several months, I don't know if she has come back now."

    Jiang Huai: "If she contacts you and you ask her to go home, I have something to tell her."

    Jiang Qiulan: "I say it all the time, but she doesn't listen to me."

    Jiang Huai said, "Then you say that her mother is very ill and is about to die, and you want to see her one last time."

    Jiang Qiulan: "..."
