Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 14 Invitation to discuss business
When she met with Chen Man the next day, Shen Qingqing told her the good news that her mother agreed to meet for a detailed discussion.

But Shen Qingqing said something else. After all, her mother had just rejected Mr. Zhang's invitation, and now she agreed to a meeting. Although it was not confirmed, it would easily leave a bad impression on Zhang Zeqin.

After listening for a long time, Chen Man said silently: "Why don't you tell my dad yourself when he comes to pick me up this afternoon? I can't remember..."

Shen Qingqing was stunned for two seconds, then nodded decisively, "Alright, you're right!"

It is indeed not as reliable to tell a seven-year-old child something as to say it yourself.

She had seen how outrageous the rumors spread among kindergarten children on a short video app in the future.

The value of the sentence "But I don't have a basement" is still increasing!

While Shen Qingqing was attending class peacefully, she was secretly chatting with Chen Man, but she didn't say much, just a little bit.

Then in the first Chinese class in the afternoon, the Chinese teacher came up and gave something that was like a bolt from the blue for children of that age. There would be a unit test for Chinese class on Wednesday afternoon, and the test would cover two units at once.

Chen Man's eyes widened in a flash, and she grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm and asked in panic, "What should I do? Qingqing! I haven't memorized all the pinyin yet, how can I write the new words by looking at the pinyin?"

Shen Qingqing was also very panicked. She was not sure what level the children would perform in exams nowadays!

It has been almost twenty years since she last attended first grade of elementary school.

But in a panic, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why should she care about what level the children performed in the exams?
What she should do now is to pass the school exam to prove how smart she is!
In this era of exam-oriented education where grades are paramount, grades are a stepping stone for her to further increase her voice at home!
Why did her parents always ask her uncle for help when they encountered problems later? It was because her uncle was the only college student in the two families!

And he's a successful college student who makes money!

Shen Qingqing calmed down and held Chen Man's hand. "Don't be afraid, Manman! I'll accompany you to learn for the next two days. At worst, you can come to my house with me and I'll teach you!"

This is also a step in Shen Qingqing's plan. By teaching Chen Man, she wants to show her parents that she has real talents and can be a little teacher!
It’s not that I got full marks just because the questions were easy!
Chen Man was deeply moved: "Then I'll go today!"

Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let your father come to our house, and then you can stay at my house for dinner, and you can have more time to study!"

Chen Man's father is Mr. Zhang's brother-in-law. He can brand himself as "very smart" in Mr. Zhang's impression, so how could Mr. Zhang hear a word or two about it?

Chen Man is going to be her elementary school classmate for six years. Is she afraid that she won’t be able to weld this label onto herself during these six years?

Being "smart" means that she can learn everything quickly and the more she reads, the more she understands. Then, when she gives suggestions to her parents and uncle in the future, she won't have to rack her brains to find reasons or excuses. She can just say that she read it in a book.

After school, Chen Man skipped along beside Shen Qingqing, chattering, "Qingqing! This is my first time studying at a friend's house! When I was in preschool, many of my classmates always went home together to do homework, but I didn't."

"So I also wanted to have a good friend to go home and do homework with, but I didn't find one until I left kindergarten! I didn't expect that you were waiting for me in elementary school!"

Shen Qingqing was also a very introverted and quiet person in her previous life. In the MBTI test that was very popular in later generations, she was the laziest little painter, an ISFP, and the thing she enjoyed and immersed herself in the most was often being alone.

So although she still had friends from her previous life, they rarely met, and most of the time they only maintained contact online.

After being reborn in this life, I have a new friend, the clingy Chen Man.

Although Shen Qingqing was being deliberate in her approach, Chen Man's genuine enthusiasm truly touched her. "If you want to come to my house in the future, you can come anytime!" Shen Qingqing invited.

Chen Man immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay! Then I'll come to your house every Saturday and Sunday from now on!"

Shen Qingqing also nodded: "My sister will be at home on Saturdays and Sundays, and we can bring her along to play!"

"That's great! The three of us can play house, play teacher and student, play statues..." Chen Man counted on her fingers.

As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw Mr. Chen’s van parked on the side of the road, and he was standing outside the door waiting.

Chen Man pulled Shen Qingqing over and asked her father to go to Shen Qingqing's house to study together.

Father Chen was still hesitant. After all, this little naughty kid at home usually had to be urged to do his homework at home, but today he actually took the initiative to ask to go to his classmate's house to study. It was hard for him to feel at ease and trust her.

Seeing him hesitate, Shen Qingqing immediately said, "Uncle Chen, why don't you and Manman go to my house together? My parents haven't finished get off work yet, and it's not safe for us two kids to be alone at home!"

"It just so happens that my mother also wants to talk to you about those five sets of porcelain."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately nodded in agreement.

Chen Man happily followed Shen Qingqing into the car, and whispered in her ear with a smile, praising her for being so capable and for having dealt with her father so easily.

Shen Qingqing also laughed and didn't explain too much.

With Shen Qingqing's guidance, Mr. Chen successfully sent the two children home.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Qingqing ran straight to the kitchen, shouting as she ran: "Manman, uncle, you guys have dinner at my house tonight!"

Before Mr. Chen could refuse, Chen Man raised her hands and responded loudly: "Okay!"

Then Chen Mancai turned around and asked her father to call home and tell her mother that she would not be going back for dinner tonight.

After pressing the start button on the rice cooker, Shen Qingqing poured two cups of water from the kettle in the kitchen and took them out.

"Uncle, have some water! But please wait a little longer, my mom hasn't gotten off work yet." Shen Qingqing put down one cup in front of Chen's father, handed the other cup to Chen Man, and then went to her room to get out two small stools.

It was the first time that Mr. Chen felt Shen Qingqing's interpersonal skills so directly, and he was very surprised.

Then he looked at his daughter who was sitting next to Shen Qingqing, blowing water into the cup, and thought, it would be great if his daughter could learn more from Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing looked at the clock on the wall and estimated that it was probably time for her mother to get off work. She was about to pick up the phone to call Li Xunli when she heard the sound of the door opening.

As soon as Li Xunli entered the house, she saw a stranger sitting on the sofa, "Qingqing, who is this?"

"Mom! This is Uncle Chen, Manman's father. I invited him to come home to talk to you about the five sets of porcelain!"

　See you tomorrow night~
