Chapter 526: 143: My son has gone abroad, he is so amazing! _2
“Let me take a look at the camera.” Ni Yang continued.
The employee handed over the camera to Ni Yang.
The Nikon FM2’s body is indeed quite compact, it has very clear pixels, and can take both black and white and color pictures.
Ni Yang made the payment to the employee after confirming that the camera was alright.
Stepping out of the store, Ni Yang randomly took a few shots of the street, then turned to Ni Cuihua and said, “Mom, I’ll take a picture of you and Yunyun too.”
“There’s nothing worth photographing.” Ni Cuihua was a bit embarrassed.
“Just one picture, it’s no big deal.” Ni Yang lifted the camera and took a shot.
Ni Yang then put the camera around Ni Cuihua’s neck and took little Ni Yun from her, ” Mom, can you take a picture of Yunyun and me?”
Ni Cuihua laughingly said: ” I don’t know how to.”
Ni Yang replied, “I’ll teach you, it’s very simple.”
Cameras from the eighties only had two functions, taking photos and recording videos. Ni Cuihua being an intelligent woman, learned it in a single attempt.
“Yangyang, move a bit to the side, and Yunyun, give us a smile.”
Little Ni Yun immediately broke into a grin.
After taking the picture, Ni Cuihua exclaimed, “People nowadays are really capable, they even invented cameras!”
Ni Yang laughed, “Cameras were not invented recently, they’ve been around since the late Qing Dynasty. The first one was just a light-proof box. In 1906, American George Shiras was the first to use a flashlight, and in 1913, a German man by the name of Oscar Barnack developed the world’s first 135 camera.”
Ni Cuihua exclaimed in surprise, “So cameras existed even before I was born?”
“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded.
Ni Cuihua had only known about farming in the first half of her life, she was completely unaware of China’s rapid development. If it hadn’t been for her family making her work in the fields to earn work points, she might have had her feet bound.
After buying the camera, Ni Yan went to four noodle restaurants and a milk tea shop, collected the day’s earnings, and went to deposit it at the bank.
“Miss Ni has arrived.” The teller was already familiar with Ni Yang.
The counter lady, Tian Caixia, was 22 years old, a little older than Ni Yang.
“Are you making a deposit today?” Tian Caixia asked.
“Yes.” Ni Yang handed the inconspicuous plastic bag to Tian Caixia.
Ni Yang was probably the most calm depositor Tian Caixia had ever seen.
Every time she came to deposit, she would carry the money in an old plastic bag, as if it was filled with useless waste paper instead of money.
Unlike some other depositors who, even with only a few hundred yuan, would wrap their money in several layers – their level of anxiety made it seem like everyone was out to rob them.
After counting all the money, Tian Caixia continued, “Miss Ni, there’s a total of 40,000 yuan.”
“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded, “Also, help me exchange 3,000 yuan into USD.”
“So that’s 24,000 yuan in RMB?” Tian Caixia asked uncertainly.
After exchanging the money into USD, Tian Caixia asked further, “Miss Ni, are you planning a trip to M Country?”
Ni Yang gave a slight smile, “Yes, I’m planning to go for a few days.”
Tian Caixia expressed her jealousy, “It’s so good to be rich! You can travel wherever you want.” Although Ni Yang was a private enterprise owner, she was richer than any of those with a secure job.
Those with stable jobs may seem better off and respected, but they are not as free as individual entrepreneurs.
Furthermore, Tian Caixia had a gut feeling that in the future, people’s perception of individual entrepreneurs would definitely change.
Lin Fang didn’t know how she got home.
She was devastated, seeing herself on the verge of marrying into a wealthy family, yet such a thing had to happen at a crucial moment.
“It’s all your fault, you wretched girl! If it wasn’t for you picking on that entrepreneur, would Madam Shangguan have such a big issue with me? I’ve told you many times, don’t stir up trouble! If you want to make trouble for yourself, at least don’t drag me into it!”
Furious, Lin Fang slapped Chang Yue hard across the face.
Chang Yue’s face immediately turned red and swollen from the slap, making a horrifying sight.
“It’s all Ni Yang’s fault, blame that little bitch!” Holding her face, Chang Yue angrily cursed at Ni Yang, blaming all her failures on her.
If it wasn’t for Ni Yang, she would never have offended Madam Shangguan!
“And you dare to blame others!” Lin Fang landed another slap on Chang Yue’s other cheek, “If it wasn’t for you, I would be discussing marriage with Shangguan Dehui now!”
