A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

"Qing Huan's idea is right. Individualism is a major trend, and there will be more and more individuals in the future.

You shouldn't have any burden. No one stipulates that university professors cannot be individuals.

We come to this world and we should live our life the way we like.

If you like to be an individual, I support you. "

Ji Linhai's words gave Zhong Zijun the greatest encouragement and confidence.

In fact, she was really tired of her monotonous life. Although the job at school was decent and easy, she was not very happy.

When Zhong Zijun got home in the evening, she told her daughter, son-in-law and son that she was going to move next door, and took the opportunity to tell them that she was going to quit her job and become self-employed.

I thought they would object, after all, everyone knows which is more respectable, being a professor or working as an individual.

She subconsciously thought that children would like a decent and calm mother.

Unexpectedly, the reactions of the three were all equally calm.

Gu Qinghuan even had a look of joy on her face: "Really, Mom? You want to be a self-employed person? That's great, I will follow you and enjoy the best of life in the future."

Yun Jiuzhou also raised his paw to show his support for his mother-in-law: "Mom, can you help me with the money you have? If it's not enough, ask Huanhuan for it. She is the richest person in our family."

As for Gu Lanting, he was so absorbed in studying the legal provisions that he simply ignored his mother's words.

"Oh, Mom, what did you just say?"

Zhong Zijun angrily slapped him on the head.

"Go back to your room and study. You have nothing to do here." What a nerd.

"Oh, then I'll go back first." The nerd said and left.

Zhong Zijun couldn't bear to watch, she covered her heart and said, "I don't need to ask him."

The men quickly withdrew, taking the children with them.

There were only mother and daughter left at the table.

Gu Qinghuan asked Xiaowei to make tea and bring it over.

"My daughter is so considerate. This brat is really pissing me off to death."

"Mom, why did you think of becoming a self-employed person?" Gu Qinghuan asked puzzledly.

After all, everyone knows that being a professor at Huaqing University is a very respectable job.

Gu Qinghuan had thought that many people would start their own businesses in the future, but he had never thought that Zhong Zijun would want to do so.

"Being a self-employed person is free, you can earn a lot, and you are free. I have already seen that the market is blank right now. If I were to be a self-employed person, I would definitely make a lot of money.

Although my current job is decent and provides a stable income, it is ultimately just a fixed salary. If I don't rely on other sources of income, according to our current consumption standards, I will not be able to save much money in a month.

I want to save up some betrothal gifts for your brother!

In fact, my salary is enough for an ordinary marriage. It's because I saw the standard of the betrothal gifts between you and Luo Ning, and I thought that I couldn't let your brother's future wife be too shabby.

We are all parents, so if I put myself in your shoes, if your brother gets married in the future, I will definitely give him a generous dowry to be justified.

Although your uncle Ji's family is wealthy, I cannot be so shameless as to ask him to use his own family assets to help your brother get married. What would I become then?

You are married now and have a happy family, so I don't worry about you anymore.

Your brother will graduate in two years and start a family. I have to save some money for him. Don't think too much. They are my children and I love them. "Zhong Zijun said this in a joking tone.

But it speaks out the simple voice of a mother.

Gu Qinghuan felt a little guilty.

When she got married, the Yun family gave too much as a betrothal gift. In order to prevent her dowry from being too ugly, Zhong Zijun used her compensation and all her savings to buy it.

Thinking about it now, she really shouldn't have done that.

Lanting will need this money more than she does when he gets married in the future.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I took all your money, I shouldn't have done that.

I have enough money now. I made a lot of money from my writings last year, and I also made a lot from rent. I will return the money to you, and you can keep it to buy a betrothal gift for Lan Ting."

After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, she was about to get up and go to the room to get the money, but Zhong Zijun held her back.

"What are you doing? There's no reason to take back the money you gave out. What does your son-in-law think?

Giving you a dowry is what I should do as a mother.

Preparing the betrothal gifts for Lanting is my responsibility and has nothing to do with you.

I'm not so poor that I can't afford to eat.

In fact, it's also what I like. When I was young, my family was rich and I never lacked money. So I didn't understand the importance of making money. I was a bit aloof and proud.

People only realize the benefits of having money when they reach middle age. Money is a person’s dignity and respectability.”

Gu Qinghuan also noticed that Zhong Zijun really liked to do personal business, which might be related to the fact that she used to sell things secretly in Xujiatun.

When you sell something, you can get income immediately, which gives you an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Gu Qinghuan didn't try to persuade her any more. Anyway, she would always be there to provide a backup.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"I have a preliminary idea, can you help me see if it works?

There are many students in Huaqing University. Every time they want to buy something, such as daily necessities, they have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives outside or to department stores farther away.

It's quite inconvenient to go back and forth.

I thought, why not rent a small house in Huaqing and open a grocery store to sell daily necessities and supplementary foods.

Huaqing has so many students, so there should be business, especially at the beginning of the school year, there must be a lot of students buying daily necessities. "Zhong Zijun already had a preliminary plan.

She has no other skills and cannot be a tailor, hairdresser or other professional self-employed person. Only this seems more reliable.

And because she is a professor at Huaqing University, it should be relatively easy for her to get a house, but it might be a bit embarrassing.

She could imagine the strange looks people would give up her job as a teacher and become a self-employed person.

But this may just be the beginning, she will definitely not stop here.

Gu Qinghuan clapped her hands and said, "Mom, your idea is great. Huaqing's students are already a large group. It's easy to make money from young students.

It's not just daily necessities and supplementary foods, but also clothing. I remember Xiaomeng went to the south last year and said that the clothes there are very good, fashionable and easy to sell. You can ask her to help get the goods and share the profits with her after the sales.

Young students like to look good, so fashionable clothes are definitely profitable.

Going further up, you don’t even have to limit your vision to a small grocery store, you can also open a supermarket.

Did you know that there have been large and centralized self-service supermarkets in foreign countries for a long time?

It is completely different from the purchasing methods in our grocery stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

Their supermarket allows customers to select products by themselves. After picking up the goods, they all go to the door to find the cashier to pay.

Our supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores can only have salespeople pick up goods, which is a bad experience, wastes time, and increases labor costs.

I think self-service supermarkets will be a big trend in the future." Gu Qinghuan said a lot in one breath.

Ideas pop up in my mind one after another.

"Where do all these novel ideas come from in this little girl's head?

The ideas you mentioned are quite interesting, but I plan to take it slow and trial by reaping the benefits.

I'm quite interested in the supermarket you just mentioned." Zhong Zijun's eyes lit up when she talked about doing business.
