Zhao Tianhe continued, "It wasn’t until that comrade said he won it in a lottery that the auntie’s face changed. She immediately said it was good to have a washing machine as it would be convenient in winter, and that quite a few neighbors had come to see it."
Cao Dali continued, "My situation was different, the grandmother’s daughter-in-law complained that the grandmother, having money, didn’t know how to save for her grandson. I directly said it was a prize from a lottery, but no daughter-in-law would believe it was from a lottery. They even said which lottery would give away a washing machine worth hundreds, as if I were foolish. I didn’t indulge her, I simply said if she didn’t want it, I would carry it back, and she dared not nag anymore."
"Let’s eat, let’s eat..."
Everyone gathered around and started talking.
"Today, our electronics store is holding an anniversary celebration to give back to our loyal customers, and quite a few people will talk about it. Our shop really made a splash in Capital City; the business should keep getting better. Should we hire another person for deliveries? I am afraid you might not be able to handle it later."
Actually, Lanhua felt a bit pained about the lottery event.
They had also invested money in the electronics store.
But thinking that it was Tianlei and their team leading them in this business, with a good monthly salary and dividends,
now upon hearing what the sister-in-law said, it seemed like her vision suddenly broadened. The electronics store wasn’t a short-term affair but a long-term one.
"If it’s necessary to hire, we should hire, not just for sales but for after-sales service too."
Although they did repair electronics, it was limited.
If there were after-sales services, then the business in the store would be even better."
"You all discuss it, and I will point out possible shortcomings at the end. When we do business, we shouldn’t just stick to our small plot of land; we need to be a bit ambitious. Right now, the electronics in our store are from other factories. Haven’t you ever thought about someday starting our own electronics factory?"
They dared not think about it.
Lanhua felt her own vision was a bit narrow, and that she needed to learn earnestly from her sister-in-law; she shouldn’t fall behind.
"Sister-in-law, what if I have no ambition?"
"If you don’t have ambition, then invest with someone who does."
As soon as she said this, everyone looked toward Yun Xiaoxiao, making Yun Xiaoxiao completely baffled.
"Don’t look at me, I don’t have ambition either."
If she had ambition, she wouldn’t have just opened an accessory shop.
It seemed to make some sense.
Clearly, the sister-in-law seemed to know more but didn’t go all out.
"Let’s eat, let’s eat."
Yun Xiaoxiao watched them, laughing, "After I graduate from college, I plan to continue my studies, and if I have a chance, staying on to teach wouldn’t be bad."
Perhaps having never lacked money made her uninterested in taking on big challenges to earn money.
The house she bought was registered in her name. When the demolition came, she’d get another house to rent out, which could bring in quite a lot of rental income.
The house prices in Capital City are also especially high, and so is the rent.
"Being a university professor is a good job," Grandma Fang approved with agreement.
Professors are very popular.
Especially university professors.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at them and chuckled lightly, "I really think being a university professor is easy because there are only three or four lectures a week. Figuring it out, it’s like having just one class per day, and it’s particularly easy work."
Except for Zhao Tianlei, who was also a college student, the others did not know about this.
"That’s a good job." Zhao Tianlei agreed. If his wife really went on to become a teacher after graduating from college, he would support her.
Major courses, that really meant one class a day, and sometimes even less than one class a day.
