Chapter 1150 - 1152:
Wan Qiweng sat at her desk doing the accounts; the Spring Festival was near, and the money due to be returned should be coming back.
She had to calculate the workers’ year-end bonuses and then figure out the dividends for shareholders.
She constantly thought about expanding and building new factory spaces, which had to be put on the agenda.
And she had to decide whether to use her own money or take out a bank loan for these investments.
Seeing Cai Ming walk in beaming with joy, Wan Qiweng casually asked a question and then continued with her serious calculations.
"Do you know why Xuran just called me over?" Cai Ming eagerly anticipated Zhao Xuran seriously calling them together for a meeting.
Whenever they had meetings to discuss matters, new investment projects would come up. Unfortunately, such opportunities weren’t frequent, or else Cai Ming would want to have such meetings every day.
Why Zhao Xuran called him over, Wan Qiweng didn’t know; she wasn’t there anyway.
"Is there another money-making opportunity?" For her husband to be this excited, it must be a profitable new venture; otherwise, he wouldn’t be this thrilled.
Ah, her wife was just so smart, "This time we may not make big money."
"Comrade Wan Qiweng, you need to know that not every business makes big money."
Whoa, he actually started giving her a lecture, so Wan Qiweng stopped looking at the accounts and directed her gaze, full of disbelief, at Cai Ming.
"Don’t doubt it; I really admire Ni Zi and the others." Cai Ming had nothing to hide.
His wife treated him so well, and it made Cai Ming, who had always been cared for by his older sister and brother-in-law since childhood, quite emotional.
Upon hearing Cai Ming reveal the idea Zhao Xuran and the others had, Wan Qiweng’s mouth opened wide.
"They actually came up with this." Wan Qiweng could only say that today’s kids are so smart.
Especially Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini, as one idea after another kept emerging.
"You know how many Ni Zi has thought of." Outsiders always said that Wan Qiweng, the eldest daughter of the Wan Family, had a remarkably good attitude toward her in-laws.
They talked about how she lowered herself, but if they knew how many ways to make money Gong Ruini could think of, they would be envious beyond words.
And who knows how they would try to flatter them, "This project has to be done even if it’s at a loss."
A loss? "How could it be at a loss?"
"Do you know where Xuran proposed to open the club? Facing the Forbidden City."
"The land price over there is already very expensive; imagine how costly it will be in twenty or thirty years."
"Even if the club moves to a different place later, this site could be renovated as a hotel or office building, or it could directly become our companies’ headquarters in Beijing."
Such a prime location is an extraordinary business card.
When dealing with clients unfamiliar with their company, just mentioning the headquarters location would be enough to impress them.
"Why move it anywhere? This place is absolutely great." Since opening a club, both the membership quality and the location are important.
"I’ll prepare the money tomorrow, then go and check the place."
"In any case, it has to be big; don’t worry about the money."
"This club needs to be grand to attract people here." Although they assembled the meeting, some might come for face value.
But they couldn’t solely rely on face value to draw people in; at least they had to make them know the benefits of coming here.
"Exactly, my brother-in-law and I agree that we should hire a design expert from Yangcheng, and preferably someone who knows feng shui." Things aren’t quite like before; there’s a bit more relaxed attitude toward feng shui.
The feng shui culture in Yangcheng seems to be gradually on the rise; Cai Ming, who often travels there, is beginning to believe in it.
Wan Qiweng didn’t say much about supporting it, but after all, feng shui had been passed down for so many years with its benefits, and let’s not forget the renowned tycoons in Hong Kong have their feng shui masters.
They consult them on significant matters, and if there really were issues, would they foolishly spend money?
Wan Qiweng waved her hand indicating she wouldn’t bother with these things, leaving them for Cai Ming to handle.
Cai Ming was used to his wife being hands-off.
"But with this, we might not have enough money." Cai Ming suddenly remembered something, his wife was going to the United States soon to give birth, and if there’s this investment...
"I still have money, don’t worry." Wan Qiweng naturally had a bit of private savings, "Besides, grandpa gave me his house in New York."
What?! No way, the old man even had a house in New York, Cai Ming was stunned.
He knew that the Wan Family’s assets weren’t just what he had seen; there were things beneath the surface, but Cai Ming wouldn’t care much about these.
Instead of obsessing over how much property the elders had, it was far easier to focus on making money than overthinking and investigating the assets.
"Yes, it was bought when my grandpa went to study in New York."
"Oh." Cai Ming didn’t care much about these, although he really felt a bit embarrassed.
"Originally, I was thinking of buying a house in the United States if possible, but it’s difficult to help now."
Though there were relatives in the United States, visiting them for a few days was one thing, but his wife was going there to have a baby, and it didn’t feel right to inconvenience them.
"It’s okay, I’ll just stay for a few months, and then I’ll come back after the baby’s first month." Although Wan Qiweng felt it wasn’t the best time to have a child, she didn’t want to terminate the pregnancy now that she was expecting.
They weren’t incapable of supporting this child, and not having a domestic account wasn’t a problem; they could directly get a green card.
As for what to do when the child grows up and has to attend school, they’re confident it won’t be an issue; there are schools catering to foreign students.
The registration process would be simple with an American ID; it’s just that the tuition might be significantly higher, but that’s not much of a problem.
"Don’t be stingy in the United States; remember to hire help." More than money or housing, Cai Ming felt most guilty for not being able to be by his wife’s side at this crucial moment.
Listening to the man’s constant babble and seeing his eyes reddened, the initially somewhat heartbroken Wan Qiweng couldn’t bear to blame Cai Ming.
"I’ll be fine, you can come visit me if you miss me."
"When you want to come, I’ll send you the documents needed to apply for a visa at the embassy."
The couple kept imagining various scenarios for their unborn child, "I don’t expect much, just like Ni Zi would be great."
Listening to his wife’s words, Cai Ming didn’t know how to respond; should he say his wife’s expectations were high?
Having seen so many children, honestly having half the intelligence of Gong Ruini would be enough.
But you can’t really argue with a pregnant woman; his wife usually has people catering to her, and now with a child, he certainly couldn’t go against her wishes.
"With the two of us so smart, the child won’t be bad."
"Didn’t Ni Zi always say that eating seafood makes kids smarter? We’ll have more seafood tomorrow."
Ah, eating that stuff, Wan Qiweng didn’t particularly like it, but for a smart child, eating seafood wasn’t a big deal.
"Eat, I want to eat it every day."
