The Queen Travels to the Modern Times
Chapter 152 Countryside Relatives
Fan Gui is well-known in Lancheng because of his stingy personality. His wife has been with him for many years, but she has never enjoyed any happiness.
Once, it was his wife's birthday, and she was looking forward to Fan Gui giving her a surprise. But Fan Gui came back from outside with a bunch of wilted vegetables in his hand, saying that adding one dish to his wife's birthday was considered a birthday gift. His wife was so angry that she almost died.
Even the lights in the house were only turned on for a short time, and they could be turned on in the dark. When his wife wanted to buy new clothes, Fan Gui would keep complaining that old clothes could still be worn and buying new ones was a waste of money.
However, one day, Fan Gui suddenly became a different person. He saw a little girl selling flowers in the cold wind on the road, shivering with cold. For some reason, Fan Gui's heart softened and he actually spent a lot of money to buy all the flowers from the little girl.
When he got home, his wife was surprised to see him holding a bunch of flowers. Fan Gui blushed and said, "These flowers are for you." His wife couldn't believe her ears.
Later, everyone found out that Fan Gui's family was extremely poor when he was a child, and he often didn't have enough food or warm clothes, so he developed the habit of being stingy. But when he saw the little girl, he remembered his own hardship when he was a child, and suddenly realized that he couldn't let his family suffer like this. Since then, although Fan Gui still calculated carefully, he was no longer so stingy with his wife. The people in Lancheng were surprised and relieved by his change.
On May 1, Fan Gui was sweating at home because he was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner to save electricity. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw that it was his relatives from the countryside.
Fan Gui was worried that this relative must be up to no good, maybe he was here to borrow money. He forced a smile on his face and welcomed the relative into the house.
The relatives were quite enthusiastic and brought a lot of local specialties. While Fan Gui took the things, he was thinking about how to get rid of them as soon as possible.
When they sat down to chat, a relative said, "Fan Gui, we want to buy a villa in this city, but we're not sure. Can you give us some advice?" When Fan Gui heard this, he almost spit out the water he had just drunk. He widened his eyes, not believing his ears.
He could never have imagined that these country relatives who usually looked simple were actually so rich that they wanted to buy a villa! Fan Gui felt so regretful in his heart. He usually was stingy with his family and was wary of his relatives, fearing that they would take advantage of him.
Fan Gui quickly put on a smiling face and diligently introduced the real estate in the city to his relatives. But in his heart he secretly complained that his petty-mindedness had made him a big joke.
In the next few days, Fan Gui accompanied his relatives to look for houses everywhere, and tried his best to give advice. However, the attitude of his relatives towards him did not change much, and they were still warm and friendly.
The relative had chosen the villa, and on the day of signing the contract, he specially thanked Fan Gui. Fan Gui smiled, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that after this incident, he had to change his stingy and narrow-minded habits.
Fan Gui had always lived an ordinary and tight life, and his visits to relatives were not frequent. This time, when he heard that his relatives had moved to a new house, he felt troubled, thinking that he had to express his gratitude in some way, so he gritted his teeth and bought a lot of gifts.
When he arrived at his relative's new home with his bags, he was stunned by the sight. The luxurious villa, the magnificent decoration, and the room full of valuable furnishings. He couldn't help but lament the huge gap between his life and that of his relatives.
The relative entertained Fan Gui warmly, but Fan Gui always felt that he was out of place. During the chat, he learned that his relative had made a fortune in business in recent years, and the projects he invested in were successful one after another.
Just when Fan Gui thought that this housewarming celebration would be spent peacefully amidst envy and pleasantries, something unexpected happened. A group of strangers suddenly broke into the house, claiming that their relatives owed them a large sum of money, and if they didn't pay it back immediately, they would use the house to pay off the debt. Qin Qi panicked instantly, and his original pride and composure disappeared without a trace.
Fan Gui stood aside, at a loss. He never expected that such a crisis was hidden behind his seemingly prosperous relative.
Fan Gui squatted in a corner of the construction site, his eyes confused and anxious. He just heard what his relative said, but he still felt uncertain.
The construction site was dusty and Fan Gui's clothes were already stained. He was an honest farmer who followed his relatives to work just to earn more money to improve his family's life.
The relative patted him on the shoulder and said with certainty: "Fan Gui, don't be afraid. This is the outstanding payment for the project on the construction site. The project is not finished yet, and we will give them the money when it is completed." But Fan Gui knew that he and his fellow workers would not have peace of mind until they received the outstanding payment.
As the days passed, the progress of the project became slower and slower. Fan Gui looked at the half-finished project and felt more and more uneasy.
Suddenly one day, a group of strangers came to the construction site and came to look for the person in charge. It turned out that the investor of the project had problems and the capital chain was broken, so the project might have to be suspended indefinitely.
When Fan Gui heard the news, he felt as if the sky was falling. Qin Qi was also panicked, and all his previous promises turned into nothing.
However, Fan Gui did not give up. He and his fellow workers united and ran around to find a solution. They contacted the media and attracted social attention.
With the efforts of all parties, the new investors took over the project and the outstanding payments were gradually paid to them. Fan Gui held the hard-earned money with tears of excitement in his eyes.
Fan Gui finally got the long-awaited project payment, and he seemed to be injected with new energy. He sat in the simple office, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about the next plan.
He immediately thought of his relatives, thinking that if they worked together to take on projects, they could both help each other and make their business bigger and stronger. So Fan Gui called his relatives one by one and gathered everyone together.
When the relatives heard Fan Gui's idea, they all showed great interest. Among them were the experienced cousin, the thoughtful cousin, and the hardworking cousin. Everyone sat together and enthusiastically discussed the future development direction.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. In the process of looking for a new project, they encountered an extremely demanding contractor. The contractor made a series of almost harsh requirements and kept lowering the price. Fan Gui and his relatives were in trouble, and some began to back out.
When everyone was hesitant, Fan Gui decided to personally conduct the final negotiations with the contractor. After several days and nights of hard bargaining, Fan Gui, with his wisdom and firm belief, finally convinced the contractor and reached a relatively satisfactory cooperation agreement.
Just when everyone was ready to start working, an accident happened. The supplier who had promised to provide raw materials suddenly broke the contract, causing the project to be in danger of suspension. Fan Gui was anxious and looked for a new supplier. At this critical moment, his cousin stepped forward. He used the connections he had accumulated over the years to find a reliable supplier and solved the urgent problem.
The project was progressing smoothly, and just when it was about to be completed, a sudden storm hit the construction site, causing serious damage to some of the completed projects. Fan Gui and his relatives were heartbroken when they saw the mess in front of them.
However, they did not give up. They worked together and worked overtime to repair and rebuild. Finally, the project was completed successfully within the specified time, and the quality exceeded expectations.
The cooperation between Fan Gui and his relatives was a huge success. They not only reaped huge profits, but also won a good reputation in the industry. From then on, their business flourished and moved towards a more brilliant future.
Fan Gui has always been known for being stingy, and his wife Li Li has suffered a lot of grievances with him. On weekdays, Li Li has to talk a lot when she wants to buy a new piece of clothing, and she may not get Fan Gui's consent.
One day, Li Li saw a beautiful skirt in the mall, and went home happily to tell Fan Gui that she wanted to buy it. In the past, Fan Gui would have frowned and scolded Li Li for spending money recklessly. But unexpectedly, Fan Gui waved his hand and said very straightforwardly: "Buy it!" Li Li was stunned, and kept muttering in her heart: "What's wrong with me today? Why is he so generous today?"
Li Li was full of doubts, but she still bought the skirt. In the following days, Fan Gui was even more generous, buying whatever Li Li wanted without stopping her at all.
Finally one day, Li Li couldn't help asking Fan Gui, "What happened to you recently?" Fan Gui smiled mysteriously, took Li Li's hand and said, "Wife, some time ago I followed my friend to invest in a project. I didn't have much hope at first, but I didn't expect to make a lot of money! I thought you have suffered with me all these years. Now that we have money, of course I have to let you enjoy yourself!"
Li Li was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes after hearing this. She was so happy. But she didn't expect that not long after, the friend that Fan Gui invested in ran away with the money. Not only did he have to give back all the money he had earned before, but he also owed a large debt.
Fan Gui suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. But Li Li held his hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, husband. Let's start over together. We can earn money again if we lose it, as long as our family is together." Since then, Fan Gui is no longer stingy, but also understands rational consumption. The couple worked together. Although life was hard, it was full of hope and love.
Fan Gui and Li Li are a couple. They have always dreamed of starting a business, but they have always been hesitant about what kind of business to start.
One day, they happened to pass by a pet store and saw the cute cats and dogs inside, as well as the happy smiles on the faces of their owners. Suddenly, Li Li's eyes lit up and she suggested, "Why don't we open a pet supplies store?" Fan Gui frowned and said, "Will this work? The competition seems to be quite fierce."
In the following days, they examined many other projects, such as opening a restaurant, a clothing store, etc., but each idea had its concerns.
Just when the two were lost, a trip to the countryside changed their minds. They saw many exquisite handicrafts in the countryside, bamboo weaving and wood carvings made by the villagers themselves, full of unique charm. Li Li said excitedly: "We can collect these handicrafts and open a special handicraft store!" Fan Gui also thought this idea was very novel.
So, they began to actively prepare. However, just when the store was about to open, the villagers they had contacted to supply goods suddenly changed their minds and said they would no longer provide handicrafts. This made Fan Gui and Li Li anxious and they looked everywhere for new sources of goods.
Fortunately, they found a skilled craftsman in the neighboring village who was willing to cooperate with them and brought a number of unique works.
The store finally opened successfully. With unique products and high-quality services, the business became more and more prosperous, and Fan Gui and Li Li also realized their entrepreneurial dreams.
Fan Gui and Li Li have always dreamed of owning their own handicraft store, and they have put in a lot of effort and sweat for this dream.
Fan Gui is a clever man who is good at carving all kinds of exquisite wood carvings. Li Li has a unique perception of colors and patterns, and her hand-painted ceramic crafts always make people shine.
During the preparation period for the opening, the couple went out early and came back late every day, carefully selecting each handicraft to sell. From the simple bamboo baskets to the exquisite silver jewelry, each one is full of their hard work.
Finally, the opening day came. The store entrance was filled with flowers, and friends and relatives came to congratulate them. The store was crowded with people, and everyone praised their handicrafts.
However, just as the business was getting back on track, a sudden storm hit the city, causing the roof of the shop to leak, and many handicrafts were soaked by rain, causing heavy losses.
The couple looked at the messy shop and their hearts were broken. But they did not give up. Fan Gui hurried to repair the roof, while Li Li carefully wiped and repaired the damaged handicrafts.
After a few days of hard work, the shop was restored to its former neatness. Unexpectedly, this disaster made more people know about their shop. Everyone was moved by their persistence and came to buy handicrafts.
Fan Gui and Li Li's handicraft shop business is getting more and more prosperous, and the flowers of their dreams are blooming more brilliantly after the storm.
Fan Gui and Li Li have always had a unique love and talent for handicrafts. At first, they just quietly made various exquisite handicrafts in their own little house, and occasionally sold them at the market, but their business was only tepid.
But as time went by, the wood carvings carefully crafted by Fan Gui and the embroidery woven by Li Li gradually won the love of more and more people. Word of mouth spread, their handicrafts began to be in short supply, and orders came in like snowflakes.
As their business got better and better, the couple became more active. They were no longer satisfied with just working hard in this small home, and they were eager to go to a wider world to show their works and meet more like-minded people.
So they decided to embark on a journey and take their handicrafts to exhibitions in various places. Along the way, they saw different customs and encountered many difficulties and setbacks.
Once, in a remote town, their car broke down and it happened to rain heavily. The two were trapped in the car, looking at the pouring rain outside, and their hearts were full of anxiety. However, just when they felt helpless, an old man passing by lent a hand. The old man not only helped them fix the car, but also praised their handicrafts and even took the initiative to help them contact a local wealthy businessman.
The wealthy businessman fell in love with their handicrafts at first sight and placed a large order on the spot. The couple was overjoyed, and this unexpected experience took their business to a higher level.
As their reputation grew and orders increased, Fan Gui and Li Li became more determined to expand their handicraft business. Their future was full of infinite possibilities.
