Chapter 764 Be Frugal and Diligent in Managing a Household
After He Qing said that, the job with a monthly salary of 1.5 yuan suddenly became more concrete.
This is a job that's hard to find even with a lantern.
"Cousin, what do you think? Are you interested?"
"Yes, yes, I have it. I have so much!"
David understood perfectly: with a job like this, why would he worry about not having a girlfriend?
But I shouldn't even think about someone like Qiu Qiaoqiao. She earns a million a year; I'm still far behind her.
However, such a stunningly beautiful woman was never something he could have dreamed of in the first place, so he wasn't disappointed now.
He was thinking more about the girls he used to have a crush on. If they knew he had this kind of job, would they cry and beg to come back to him?
The ex-girlfriend who left him because he didn't have a car, and then found someone who drove a BMW 525?
Dawei suddenly felt a surge of interest. Once he got a stable job at Junxiao Supermarket, he was determined to show off in front of his ex-girlfriend and see if she regretted it.
Seeing that he had figured it out, He Qing nodded, "Han Xue will be here soon, and I'll talk to her."
Auntie and Dawei didn't know who Han Xue was either. Just as they were about to ask her in detail, Zhang Ziqian came over and said to Chen Xiao, "President Feng will be here in about ten minutes. I also told Yu Ting that she's leaving now, so she should be around the same time as President Feng."
Han Xue had some things come up and would be a little later. She told us to start first.
Her way of addressing Feng Feifei shows her exceptional respect. This is because Feng Feifei holds a special place in Chen Xiao's heart. Furthermore, Han Xue and Xiao Yuting were newcomers; when they were with Chen Xiao, Zhang Ziqian was already his personal secretary!
Chen Xiao was somewhat surprised. "Something's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing that he seemed a little nervous, Zhang Ziqian quickly explained, "It's a small matter. Today, a woman stole a steak at the Junxiao Supermarket in Junxiao City. Han Xue happened to be patrolling the store there. After learning about this, she made the woman return the steak and let her go!"
Chen Xiao was even more confused. What was going on?
"When Han Xue left Jun Xiaocheng, she saw the woman pushing a wheelchair with a middle-aged man who was completely paralyzed in it. Han Xue said she was going to follow her to see what was wrong with the woman."
So that's how it is; I felt compassion.
"Alright, then let's not wait for her. Let Lao Jia start cooking. We'll eat as soon as Feifei and Yuting arrive!"
After taking another sip of tea, Auntie said to He Qing, "Then let Dawei look for a place to live in the next couple of days, and then go back to his hometown to bring over his daily necessities so he can prepare for starting work!"
“Hmm—” He Qing nodded slightly, pretending not to know—even if her second aunt might change her mind at any time, or have ulterior motives about not being able to get things done.
"Oh, by the way, I have a Buick Regal M8. My cousin can drive it home; it'll be convenient for carrying luggage back and forth!"
what--
Happiness came so suddenly!
The Junxing M8, that's a car that costs over 40 yuan, one of Dawei's dream cars. He even dreamed of driving this car and slapping his ex-girlfriend, who left him for a BMW 525, in the face.
"Then what are you going to do?" Dawei asked, trembling with excitement and disbelief.
"I don't drive much, and even when I do, I have plenty of time to drive—"
After the Junxing M8 was launched, Xu Gang, being a man of good character, gave each of these "ladies" a car as a toy.
But He Qing now travels by car most of the time and rarely drives. When she does drive, it's usually in her Ferrari FUV.
Dawei was overjoyed and was already imagining the magnificent scenery as he drove back to his rural hometown.
The second wife understood her son and was happy for him. At the same time, she said to He Qing, "Qingqing, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your cousin. Be careful while driving."
He Qing chuckled, "It's alright, just use it normally. Oh, when my cousin comes to Jiangzhou, I'll give you this car to use."
ah--
"That wouldn't be good," David said politely, but before he could even finish the word "would," he couldn't help but grin.
This kind of unexpected joy was a first for Dawei in his life.
Although the second aunt was happy for her son, her inherent simplicity and a slight unease made her instinctively want to be "polite" and try to salvage some "face." She quickly waved her hand, with an exaggerated sense of panic:
"Oh dear! Qingqing! I can't accept this! I can't accept something for nothing!"
She slapped David hard on the back, as if to wake him up:
"Such an expensive gift! Your cousin has no morals whatsoever!"
What? David was completely bewildered. How was I lacking in virtue?
Auntie then realized she had used the wrong words in her excitement, "No, it should be 'What virtue or ability do I possess?'"
"Cough cough!"
Just then, a clear cough broke the brief silence.
Chen Xiao couldn't hold back any longer! He was drinking tea to hide his smile when his aunt's words, "You have no manners," almost made him break down. He forced himself to swallow the tea, which resulted in him choking and coughing violently.
All eyes immediately focused on him!
Chen Xiao quickly waved his hand, his face turning red from coughing, and tried to explain:
"Cough cough... It's nothing, it's nothing... My throat is a little itchy..."
He quickly took a big gulp of tea to calm himself down, saying, "You guys talk, don't worry about me."
Auntie and Dawei misunderstood!
The two exchanged a knowing glance.
broken!
It must be because He Qing was too "generous" in giving away the car that her boyfriend was unhappy!
That cough is clearly a warning and a signal to stop it!
Although they thought He Qing was so outstanding that Chen Xiao was "marrying up" to find her, she was still their "future brother-in-law." If he had a grudge over this and it affected their relationship, wouldn't that be a case of losing more than you gain? No matter how good the car was, they couldn't accept it!
The second aunt immediately tried to smooth things over, her tone cautious and considerate of Chen Xiao:
“Qingqing, look, even though you don’t use this car, but…”
She glanced tentatively at Chen Xiao:
"Xiao Chen...Does Xiao Chen need to use it usually too?"
I?
Chen Xiao was drinking tea and almost choked.
He managed to control himself, but Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back. The mouthful of tea she had just drunk sprayed out like a fountain!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, turning her head sharply just before the tea was about to splatter all over Chen Xiao's face!
"Splash—"
The warm tea was precisely poured onto a precious orchid next to it, and the emerald green leaves were covered with crystal water droplets, making them look even more "delicate and beautiful".
Chen Xiao glared at her: "Can you be a little more composed?" Xie Xiaoxiao knew she was in the wrong. Looking at Chen Xiao's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, she shrank her neck, pouted aggrievedly, and muttered something under her breath. In the end, she didn't dare to talk back.
Then Chen Xiao looked at his second aunt and said, "I don't need it, give it to my cousin."
David glanced at He Qing and thought to himself, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you. It seems your cousin has him completely under her thumb. Chen Xiao has no say in such major expenditures."
He said insincerely, "Thank you—"
Seeing that Chen Xiao had "expressed his opinion" and He Qing hadn't objected, Auntie was finally completely relieved. But her own "worrying too much about the younger generation" started to stir again. She took He Qing's hand and spoke earnestly, her voice just loud enough for those around to hear:
"Qingqing, look at you, you're so...so generous!"
She shook her head, looking like someone who had been through it all:
"The economic situation is so bad right now! Money is hard to earn, and life is tough!" Upon hearing this proverb, Wang Ping and Zhang Ziqian's lips twitched simultaneously.
She continued to persuade her earnestly:
"You need to stop being so extravagant and learn to manage your finances! I know you earn a good income now,"
She paused, then emphasized in an extremely solemn tone:
"But! We still need to be frugal where possible! We should spend money where necessary, but not a single penny should be wasted on unnecessary things! Frugality is the right way to manage a household!"
She seemed to be imparting irrefutable, universally applicable truths about life, completely unaware that the atmosphere around her had suddenly become extremely strange.
Dead!
Absolute, suffocating silence!
It was as if even the air had frozen!
Zhang Ziqian, Qiu Qiaoqiao, Xie Xiaoxiao, and Qin Ning, who were just holding back their laughter, now had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces—they wanted to laugh but dared not, their features almost contorted from holding it in!
Wang Ping lowered her head further, her shoulders twitching suspiciously.
Chen Xiao stared blankly at the garden, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, as if he were studying some cosmic mystery.
He Qing was at a loss for words, looking at her second aunt's earnest "thrifty and hardworking" demeanor, she really didn't know how to respond.
How did He Qing, whose net worth is already immeasurable, learn to save money and live frugally?
In the rooftop garden that Chen Xiao spent over 100 million yuan to build, a paradise-like place... he taught He Qing, who is worth hundreds of billions... to be thrifty and manage the household well.
This stark contrast and absurdity, like an invisible nuclear bomb, exploded in everyone's heart, yet failed to ignite the suppressed laughter.
She still has to learn how to live a good life; will she ever be able to spend all that money?
He Qing hadn't figured out how to respond to her second aunt's well-intentioned advice.
Seeing He Qing's amused expression, she assumed her niece hadn't fully heeded her "golden advice," so she decided to administer another "stronger medicine"—she precisely targeted Chen Xiao, who had just "expressed his opinion"!
In her simple understanding, for a family to live a good life, it's not enough for the woman to be frugal; the man also needs to keep a close eye on things! She immediately switched gears, speaking earnestly and with a hint of entrusting a heavy responsibility to Chen Xiao:
"Xiao Chen! You too!"
She pointed at He Qing:
"Qingqing is such a kind-hearted and generous child!"
Her expression was serious, as if she were stating a pressing family problem that needed to be addressed:
"You'll have to keep a close eye on her from now on! Help her make informed decisions! You can't let her have her way, buying whatever she wants or giving her whatever she wants as a gift!"
She pointed her finger forcefully, emphasizing her words as if issuing a supreme command:
"You absolutely cannot let her spend money recklessly! Understand?!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Pfft—cough cough!
puff--!
Cluck cluck cluck—!
The sounds of various types of "defense breaching" resounded like a symphony throughout the entire rooftop garden!
Even Qiu Qiaoqiao, who was usually as cold as ice, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Asking Chen Xiao to persuade He Qing not to waste money is no different from asking a monk to persuade a Taoist priest not to chant scriptures.
Xie Xiaoxiao: This time she didn't spit out the tea because she didn't have time to drink water! She collapsed into the soft sofa laughing, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands, curling her body into a ball like a boiled shrimp, her shoulders shaking wildly, making a "clucking" sound like a hen laying an egg, tears and snot streaming down her face!
Qin Ning: She was still "reserved" enough, but she suddenly turned her head and buried her face deeply in a huge velvet cushion next to her. However, her violently shaking body and the muffled "plop" sound coming from the cushion, like hiccups, completely betrayed her!
Zhang Ziqian: This chief secretary, known for her composure, completely lost her composure at this moment! She abruptly turned around, her back to everyone, her shoulders trembling violently, one hand tightly covering her mouth, the other hand braced against the glass curtain wall, her knuckles white from the force, clearly trying her best to suppress the maniacal laughter that was about to burst from her throat! But from her rapid breathing and slightly hunched back, one could see how hard she was trying to hold back!
"Pfft—!"
He Qing finally couldn't help but laugh out loud! Although she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, her crescent-shaped eyes and constantly shaking shoulders completely betrayed her state!
The entire rooftop garden was completely engulfed in a chaotic sea of violent coughing, stifled laughter, body convulsions, and tears!
The air was filled with an absurd, suffocating atmosphere of joy!
Auntie and Dawei were completely dumbfounded!
Auntie looked at the chaotic scene before her and was completely baffled!
All she was asking Chen Xiao to keep an eye on He Qing and stop her from spending money recklessly was, right? Isn't that a perfectly reasonable thing to do, and it's for the good of the younger generation?
Why is everyone reacting so strongly? Everyone's coughing and laughing? Even Qingqing is laughing?
Could it be... that I said something wrong?
She looked blankly at her son, Dawei.
David was also completely bewildered. What's so funny? Is it that funny?
Just then, Zhang Ziqian's phone rang. The crisp ringtone drew everyone's attention, and the laughter stopped.
Zhang Ziqian picked up her phone and gently swiped to answer: "Hello, who is this?"
She listened for a while, her expression turning somewhat strange: "Okay, I understand. Deliver it to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center tomorrow."
After ending the call, he asked Chen Xiao, "The car you asked me to order last time has arrived. Should we leave it at Xishan Linyu, or leave it at the company?"
This was something Chen Xiao had told her before, to buy some luxury cars so he could give them away whenever he wanted.
Upon hearing this, Dawei and his second aunt exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding why Xiao Chen didn't mind He Qing giving him the Junxing M8.
Turns out this guy ordered a new car again. Sigh, I was too optimistic about you.
You're not being generous, you're just fickle!
Chen Xiao said "Oh," and replied, "Let's leave it at the company. It's convenient to pick up the car there, and the parking lot is big enough!"
Upon hearing this, David laughed out loud: "How big of a parking lot do you need to park a car? Isn't it enough to just have a parking space?"
This is how normal people think.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao isn't a normal person—
Zhang Ziqian explained, "There are quite a lot of cars—"
many?
Dawei and his second aunt were stunned again!
There were more than a dozen.
Auntie felt that her well-intentioned advice had been like casting pearls before swine.
"What car?" David asked in surprise.
Lamborghini.
"."
My aunt clutched her chest, "My darling!" (End of Chapter)
