Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Taking the Initiative_1 Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Taking the Initiative_1 Meng Yunhan said this, asking old man Zhao to look after things at home for her.
Old man Zhao knew his daughter had always wanted their life at home to improve.
“But Hanhan, you can work during the day, but at night you should sleep early. You’re young now, so it may not seem to matter, but when you get older, your eyesight may start to deteriorate.”
Meng Yunhan understood what her father meant, he was talking about myopia.
When Yun Hao started to go on missions, Meng Yunhan would not leave the house on his days off, busying herself with her drawing and pattern making.
Old man Zhao would go out and take Little Huzi for a stroll, getting to know the people in the clothing factory, using Little Huzi as an excuse to buy some cloth from them.
When Meng Yunhan saw the cloth for the first time, she was amazed at the effect it could create.
“Dad, you’re amazing.” The cloth tickets she had were given to her by Ahao, he even gave her Lu Jianjun’s cloth tickets. But even then, it was not enough for her to make her patterns.
“Grandpa, you’re fantastic.” Little Huzi was a real flatterer. As he grew older, he no longer stumbled over his words.
Although he was only a little over two years old, people often thought he was over three when they saw him out and about.
“Mom will make lots and lots of clothes for Little Huzi.”
Now that Meng Yunhan had fabric, she began to make patterns.
“Hanhan, you seem very busy lately? You’re always working.” Not only did Liu Zihan notice that Meng Yunhan was extremely busy, but everyone else in the dorm did too.
“The policy is changing next year, I’m getting ready. Next year I can start a business, become a self-employed person.”
Zhang Menmen spoke up softly, “Hanhan, I don’t look down on self-employment, but after we graduate, we will be assigned jobs, wouldn’t that be better than running a business outside?”
“I understand that if I go into business after graduation, many people might think I’m messing about, not taking a proper job.”
Lin Yueshan thought there was some truth in what Hanhan had said, “I fear your in-laws will think the same. After you graduate, you will have a good job, protected from the wind and rain. But you would give that up to work in a job that exposes you to the elements. However, since you’ve made this choice, I support you.”
“Since Shanshan supports you, I support you too. Do what you want.” Li Zihao patted Meng Yunhan’s shoulder, speaking with a touch of bravado.
Meng Yunhan was a bit bemused by all this.
“Hanhan, it might be tough at first, do you want to wait a little?” Liu Zihan thought it’d be simpler if Meng Yunhan took up a job first. Can’t she start a business when the policy becomes more favourable?
Meng Yunhan shook her head and refused, “I’m just trying to seize the opportunity. Have you guys tasted the cold noodles I make? If I were to sell them, would anybody buy them?”
Ding Yuxiang was the first to voice her opinion, “I would, I would.”
Everyone looked at her a in silence: a real foodie.
“I could also make some buns, dumplings…”
Ding Yuxiang immediately interrupted Meng Yunhan, “Hanhan, don’t say anymore, I’m really hungry.”
“But Hanhan, if you give up a good job to become a self-employed person and then regret it later, what will you do?” Luo Minshu asked in a gentle whisper. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Meng Yunhan smiled brightly, “I won’t regret it.”
Everyone in the dorm remembered that smile clearly, even when brought up in retrospect, they would recall that smile vividly. They never imagined back then just how successful she would become. It was the allure of persistence and self-confidence.
