Chapter 272: The hemp rope is specially cut at the thinnest places
"Teacher Wen, did you know I have a boyfriend? Did my mom tell you?"
"No, I saw you guys on the sidewalk on Binchuan Avenue on the night of the 31st."
Xiao Nan lowered her eyes shyly.
"It was that night that he confessed his love to me. Guo Lixin, my classmate, and we took your elective class together. He... I haven't discussed my plan with him yet."
Wen Xin looked at Xiao Nan quietly, choosing his words carefully.
"Xiao Nan, remember, if you want to achieve your goals, you must plan and be sure of every step. You need wisdom to handle the various things you encounter in the process of achieving your goals."
Xiao Nan nodded thoughtfully.
"Teacher Wen, I understand."
Wen Xin looked at the gloomy sky outside the window with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
“Many people in this world grow up in chaos, taking one step at a time. By the time they figure out what they want, it’s already dusk.”
“There are also many people who don’t know what they want in their entire lives. Therefore, it is really rare to have your own ideas and goals at a relatively young age, and then work hard to achieve them.”
"Xiao Nan, keep going. It's a very happy thing to fight for your own life."
After hearing what Wen Xin said, Xiao Nan was silent for a long time.
Wen Xin let her digest it quietly and said no more.
This kind of thing should have been handled by Xiao Nan herself, she just couldn't help but fulfill her obligation to remind her.
Such a spirited girl should be a bird soaring in the sky, and should not be confined in a cage all her life.
"Teacher Wen, last time you talked to me about the copyright of the TV series "The Clouds and the Rain", you said that if I sold the copyright and got a large sum of money, would I have a say in my mother's affairs?"
Wen Xin looked into Xiao Nan's eyes and asked softly.
"Xiao Nan, think back, has your say in your mother changed significantly before and after you went to Beijing University?"
Xiao Nan's pupils shrank and he shook his head slightly.
Wen Xin sighed softly.
"From my personal understanding, this right to speak has little to do with your achievements. It has more to do with your inner persistence and your strong spirit."
Xiao Nan fell into deep thought again.
......
Zhao Guanghui is busy every day. Looking at the office in the simple house, he often has the illusion of returning to the time when Tan Xin first started her business.
When I came to my senses, I felt a little discouraged.
When the three of them started their business, their conditions were very simple. But at that time, they were young and fearless, and they had endless energy.
He missed the days when the three of them would sit at a roadside stall and drink beer after get off work.
He also realized that after leaving Tan Xin and being no longer a partner or executive of Tan Xin, those people who used to surround him and fawn on him suddenly changed their attitude.
Those who are more kind become polite and distant, while those who are not kind start to speak coldly.
His current business is just to do some small jobs.
He also realized that he had been working and living under the protection of Tan Mu and Ma Jun all these years.
The reason why he can participate in those grand projects is not because of his own ability, but because of Tan Mu’s great energy.
Jianing was obviously beginning to become dissatisfied, often complaining and anxious, saying that the company was in a loss-making state.
Zhao Guanghui also remembered that in the early days of their business, they also made some small things and earned a little money.
Tan and his wife injected huge amounts of money into the company, but it was not until the third year, after completing several large projects, that they finally achieved profitability.
But he couldn't explain this to Jianing.
In Jia Ning's opinion, starting a company is a profitable business that can make money right from the start.
According to Jia Ning's idea, she wanted to open the company in a high-end office building. It was Zhao Guanghui who took great efforts to persuade her to accept a private house.
Only after being persuaded that it was not appropriate to be overly ostentatious did Jia Ning calm down.
During this period, Zhao Guanghui was really worried and felt insecure.
The hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, but unexpectedly another disaster strikes.
On January 1, Zhao Guanghui picked up his parents and elder brother from his hometown from the train station.
Zhao Guanghui's mother's health began to deteriorate again.
The last time I came to Beijing, I had a prostatectomy. The operation was successful and I have been feeling well since returning home.
This year, the lesion was discovered again and the local hospital recommended that I come to Beijing.
"Guanghui, mother has caused you trouble again. Last time, Xiaofei lost her child because of me. I really didn't want to come this time, but your father and your eldest brother wouldn't let me."
Zhao Guanghui looked at his mother's sallow face and felt very sad and guilty.
When Ji Fei was alive, she told her mother to come to Beijing for regular physical examinations.
Her mother was unwilling to come because she thought it would cause trouble for them, so Ji Fei ordered her older brothers back home to take her to the local hospital for a check-up and not to allow them to be lazy.
My mother is a very stubborn person. No one in the family can persuade her except Ji Fei.
But since the divorce and remarriage, these things have been forgotten.
"Mom, don't say that. Those things have nothing to do with you. Come over this time and let's take a good look."
"Guanghui, are you and your new wife okay?" Mother Zhao looked at her son's haggard face and felt a little worried.
When they heard that he and Ji Fei were divorced, their family was shocked and sad.
But it was a foregone conclusion and they couldn't say anything more.
"Mom, we're fine. Jia Ning is pregnant too. She...she's under a lot of pressure at work, plus she's pregnant. She's been a little emotional lately. Please bear with her."
The eldest brother turned his head and looked at Zhao Guanghui, worry began to appear in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
Last time, Ji Fei was the one who did the picking up at the station, as Zhao Guanghui was too busy with his big business to have time.
"Guanghui, you are not busy now? How do you have time to come out and pick us up?"
The person asking the question was Zhao's father, who seemed to have some doubts.
"Dad, I have my own company now, so I have more free time."
"What? You left that company? Aren't you three doing well and making a lot of money? Why did you leave out of nowhere?"
Father Zhao was a little anxious.
"Dad, I have my own ideas, don't worry about this."
Zhao Guanghui's tone was a little impatient. Zhao's mother looked at her younger son's face and poked Zhao's father, who then stopped talking.
When we got home, the nanny had already prepared dinner. After we finished eating, we sat on the sofa to rest, chat and watch TV.
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Jia Ning returned from her mother's house.
The Zhao family members looked at Jia Ning, who was wearing heavy makeup, and were a little dazed, but then they quickly greeted her warmly.
Jia Ning nodded coldly, without even calling mom or dad, he turned and went into the bedroom and closed the door.
The Zhao family members looked at each other, then turned to look at Zhao Guanghui.
Zhao Guanghui looked embarrassed and quickly explained: "Dad and Mom, don't worry about it. We just had a fight a few days ago, and Jia Ning is still angry with me."
Zhao's mother quickly pushed him: "Then go and comfort your wife. She is pregnant, and she can't be angry."
Zhao Guanghui walked into the master bedroom embarrassedly.
The three members of the Zhao family outside entered the second bedroom quietly.
The three-bedroom house was still not spacious enough, so my eldest brother could only sleep on the floor in the second bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Zhao Guanghui sat by the bed, patiently coaxing Jia Ning who had her back to him.
Jia Ning suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at Zhao Guanghui with impatience.
