The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 236: Doing Business

Wang Zhaodi returned home with mixed emotions. This trip out allowed her to witness the prosperity outside. After thinking it over, she felt that she couldn’t keep muddling along with trifling tasks, she needed to do something big.

Late at night, Wang Zhaodi coaxed her son Zhu Zheng to sleep and returned to the master bedroom.

Zhu Zicheng was already lying in bed, bored and ready to sleep. Seeing Wang Zhaodi come over, he asked somewhat strangely, "Zeng Er is asleep? So early..."

"After a day on the road, probably tired." Traveling is really exhausting.

"Hmm..." Zhu Zicheng thought of something at this point. He looked at the sky outside the window and thought of the wealth of the Jiang family, and got an idea, "Zhaodi, let’s buy a TV too."

"Hmm?" Wang Zhaodi didn’t react for a moment. Hearing about the TV, she thought of the big color TV in Wang Miaomiao’s living room.

She was a bit dazed. A big color TV, who wouldn’t want one?

But...

Wang Zhaodi remembered her previous plan and hesitated, "How about we don’t buy it for now? I want to use the family’s money to do some big business."

"What?" Zhu Zicheng was a bit disappointed when he heard she didn’t want to buy a TV, but was intrigued when he heard about the big business, "What business do you want to do? Isn’t this small shop we have doing well enough? It’s earning quite a bit as it is."

Wang Zhaodi had used the money she painstakingly saved to open a breakfast shop in town, where she handled everything personally, getting up early and going to bed late, busying herself, it’s indeed very tough.

Wang Zhaodi pursed her lips, unwilling to accept it, "I could do anything, but a whole day of hard work doesn’t compare to others making lots just by selling a few clothes..."

Zhu Zicheng listened to this complaint and felt something was amiss, "What do you mean, making money isn’t easy, no matter what you do it’s hard-earned money."

"I was just making a comparison." Wang Zhaodi also felt that her tone was wrong, calmed herself, and explained, "I know everything is tough, but because it’s tough, I can’t accept it. Why should others make big money for their hard work while I can only make small money for mine?"

"Since it’s all the same hard work, I think we should switch trades." Wang Zhaodi spoke of her desire with great ambition, growing more excited as she spoke, "When I have money, I’ll buy a big TV, a big fridge, a big washing machine, a big house... I’ll go to Beijing, drive a car, live in a big house..."

Zhu Zicheng listened to her dreams, pressing his lips together, saying nothing.

"Our Zeng Er must also attend the best schools, receive the best education, he can’t be worse off than others, so in the future, he’ll start on the same level and not fear competing with others..."

No matter what was said previously, Zhu Zicheng remained silent. At this point, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him, whose face was full of longing, just feeling that the smile was a bit strange...

"What business do you want to do?" Zhu Zicheng was moved by her words, he got up from the bed and paced anxiously in the room.

Seeing him ask like this, Wang Zhaodi knew he was convinced by her, and she explained even more earnestly, "Our morning business is ultimately small in scale, look at Miaomiao starting a factory, the scale..."

"Start a factory? We don’t have that much capital." Zhu Zicheng was startled by her big appetite.

But Wang Zhaodi seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, smiling, "We don’t have it now, but wouldn’t doing a few large transactions give us the money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zicheng frowned and said, "Hurry up and say, no need to keep it a secret."

"Sigh, you are so impatient, so rash, how can you do big things?" Wang Zhaodi grumbled a bit, disapprovingly, before saying, "Today on the same train car with us, do you know what those people were doing?"

"Middlemen." Wang Zhaodi selected the main points from the conversation between those two men she heard in the carriage today and recounted them.

"Zicheng, we also go to the Soviet Union for a few large deals, why worry about not having enough money to start a factory." Wang Zhaodi said ambitiously, "I say, you might as well not go to that job, the monthly salary is not as high as two days’ turnover of my breakfast shop..."

Hearing her words, Zhu Zicheng paced back and forth in the room several times, then shook his head and said, "No, I can’t quit yet, business has its risks, after all, my job is at least secure."

"But this deal can be looked into, I’ll take a few more days off, and go with you to see the world." Zhu Zicheng was also ambitious and shrewd, his mind worked very quickly, and he soon calculated the pros and cons of this deal and

Now the couple was in agreement, so they began to discuss in detail. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

This couple rarely agreed on something and started becoming close again, working together, it was better than before.

Their path to wealth gradually opened, after all, they were the original lead roles, if Wang Miaomiao knew about it, she would surely give them a thumbs up, daring and admirable.

Meanwhile, Wang Pandi was also discussing the matter of Wang Miaomiao starting a factory.

A clothing factory, Wang Pandi in the past few years had made some small money relying on Wang Miaomiao’s patterns, and she really had an interest in making clothes. Now that Wang Miaomiao had started a factory in Beijing on such a large scale, how could she not have some considerations?

"Miaomiao’s factory is really far away, or I could go work for her..." Wang Pandi felt some regret in her heart, and also some envy.

Yang Zhigang, however, was noncommittal, he didn’t want Wang Pandi working too hard, thinking she should comfortably stay home, taking care of the children, saying, "Working is so tough, sitting there all day makes your back sore, you just stay at home with the kid, why go through that when I can support the both of you."

His words were beautiful, and Wang Pandi was indeed moved. But after the joy passed, she felt somewhat uneasy, and the image of Wang Miaomiao taking them to see the factory, so confident and vigorous, flashed in her mind...

And also the words she had said before, women shouldn’t rely too much on men, living without self isn’t good, time flies and beauty fades, who can guarantee that the person who cares about you now will remain unchanged and still care for you after many years...

"What are you thinking about? Go to sleep, aren’t you tired? Or... should we go for another round?" Yang Zhigang saw her distracted, his eyes shining as he suggested.

Yang Zhigang pulled her back to reality, thinking of his persistent affection and all sorts of good things he did for her daily, she pushed her earlier thoughts out of her mind.

She felt she didn’t need to...

She didn’t know what the future would be like, those unforeseeable futures seemed too far away, it was better to grasp the happiness of the present, as long as he treated her well as always, what difference did it make relying on him.

As for the future... she chose to believe in him...

Everyone’s thoughts are different, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, because everyone’s circumstances are different, how can they be judged the same.

The path ahead, they chose to walk hand in hand.
