Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Things are different now. He Xi and Lu Jinan's status has risen. During the New Year holidays, there are always people coming to their house for dinner, but they will never eat the food cooked by Mr. Lu.

He is now serving his wife and children.

Grandpa He and Grandma He, who had fallen out with each other before, also came to dinner. What they were most concerned about was whether the two families could reconcile, and if they reconciled, whether some of the money from the young couple could go into their pockets.

Grandpa He pointed at He Xi who was sitting on the other side, and said to He's father with some regret: "We haven't celebrated the New Year together for several years. We have really missed a lot of family happiness."

Those who knew the truth looked at Grandpa He in surprise, while those who were watching the fun covered their lips and laughed secretly, as if they wanted to exaggerate the situation.

He Yi suddenly asked: "My cousin is doing well now, so shouldn't she help some of our relatives?"

Although the New Year's Eve meals were plentiful, He Xi had a poor appetite and only ate a bite or two.

Hearing this, she put down her chopsticks as if relieved and said, "I'm really sorry. My husband and I both started from scratch and have never received any help from you, so naturally there is no question of giving back."

Lu Jinan picked some light dishes and gave them to He Xi, and raised his chin slightly: "Eat more, it's too little, you don't even get enough nutrition."

"If starting a business is so easy, why don't some people start their own business? It's as easy as taking a piss and looking at yourself in the mirror."

Many people at the table laughed after hearing Lu Jinan's words, but my aunt's family seemed unable to laugh.

He Hua's unharmonious voice suddenly popped up: "Jin'an, don't be so distant. We almost became a family."

This person's words were too unpleasant to hear. He Fei took the lead and said, "Third Aunt, have you forgotten the bad things your family did? How dare you say you almost went to the police station? You almost went to the police station, didn't you?"

As long as He Xi is not forced to eat those meals, He Xi is willing to do anything. She echoed He Fei's words: "Third aunt, my cousin should get married. It's better to keep a bad reputation."

Zheng Xiaoxiao's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked terrified: "You...it's all his fault that he was irresponsible."

Lu Jinan looked at Zheng Xiaoxiao coldly and said, "Paranoia is a disease. I don't mind lending you the money for medical treatment. As for the rest, I don't know, do you know it?"

He Hua put her arms around Zheng Xiaoxiao's shoulders and said, "It's okay. Your grandpa is here and they won't dare to do anything." She was comforting herself and also comforting Zheng Xiaoxiao. At least her second brother still cared about their father.

Filial piety in the village is more important than many other things. He's father, He Hua's second brother, has had less contact with his parents because of He Xi. People in the village have more or less talked about him and are quite dissatisfied with He Xi.

As long as they seize this point, they can force He Xi to surrender. They don't ask for much, they just hope that He Xi can give money to help their family.

He Weiguo, the eldest wife's son, is already married and no longer has the impulse of his youth. Li Zhi has become an impulsive joke and now can't help laughing at herself when she sees Lu Jinan.

He said: "I never had time to get to know you guys. You can buy a car now. What kind of business are you doing?"

Lu Jinan replied: "At the beginning, we started a clothing factory with four people. Later, we withdrew and turned it into a clothing factory for the two sisters. Now I mainly study the application of solar energy."

Everyone was surprised to learn what solar energy is. Lu Jinan continued to explain: "Simply put, it converts the sunlight we feel every day into electricity to power the TV."

Su Ye, the aunt exclaimed and pointed at the sunlight outside and said, "You mean you can convert this into electricity? Are you talking nonsense?"

He Xi immediately stood up to defend her husband: "Aunt, if you don't understand, just say you don't understand. You will scare my husband if you speak so loudly."

Others were even more agitated. A grown man was afraid of other people talking too loudly and even wanted a woman to stand up and protect him.

Lu Jinan looked at He Xi with a doting smile, picked up her chopsticks and put them in her hand: "If you feel sorry for me, I'll eat a little more, so that I don't have to get anxious and angry looking at your skinny little face. Look at the bubbles on my mouth."

He Xi pursed his lips reluctantly and forced himself to take a few more bites.

Faced with the doubts of his relatives, He's father couldn't hold back any longer: "Jin'an's company is developing very well and has cooperation with the government. Don't worry about it. Just continue to eat."

He's father's firm attitude stopped many people from thinking about it, and the young people became more at peace.

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted, basically making small talk about nothing. Lu Jinan took the opportunity to drive out, and even He Xi didn't know what he was doing.

Lu Jinan's car was left in Harbin to make it easier for Assistant Wei to learn automatic transmission. At this moment, Assistant Wei was in Lu Jinan's office.

He picked up the landline phone and called Lu Jinan: "Boss Lu, our technology company is almost ready."

Lu Jinan's face didn't show much expression: "Yeah. Remember not to let your wife know."

Assistant Wei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. When he learned that President Lu was determined not to live off his wife anymore, he was shocked. You once boasted that living off your wife was good, but now you are starting a business outside without telling your wife. President Lu, you are really a contradictory person.

Assistant Wei suppressed his smile and said, "I see, Mr. Lu. The person who manages the company is my college classmate, and our major is compatible. But it's a bit difficult to keep this from my wife. My wife is very smart."

"Yeah." Lu Jinan turned on the air conditioner in the car and looked at the white snow outside the car window. "You laughed just now. Are you laughing at me?"

Assistant Wei stood up from the boss chair in Lu Jinan's office and stuttered, "No, absolutely not. You are my breadwinner, how dare I laugh at you?"

Lu Jinan smiled helplessly: "You don't know that your wife is too smart. Sometimes men are under great pressure. It's okay to eat soft rice once or twice, but if you eat it often, you will know that the rice is too hot and burns your mouth."

Assistant Wei paused after hearing this and said uncertainly: "Mr. Lu, are you showing off to me?"

Lu Jinan became even more angry and said word by word: "Assistant Wei."

Assistant Wei: "I'm here, Mr. Lu, please give me your orders."

Lu Jinan: "..."

Lu Jinan is worthy of being a man who has lived a second life. He knows that there will be a huge gap in the future mobile phone market, but the "brick-sized" mobile phones are not only expensive but also too heavy. What he has to do is to produce smaller mobile phones.

In order not to attract other people's attention, He Xi gave Lu Jinan a Xiaolingtong mobile phone, which was a smaller version of a mobile phone. He planned to use this as a prototype to start in-depth research, but it was a pity for the phone, as he needed to disassemble it.

Afterwards, I need a reasonable excuse to explain to my wife, but lying to my wife is not a good thing after all, and I will feel guilty about it.

He hadn't decided on a name for the company yet, so he needed to avoid He Xi's thoughts. Alas, it was clearly an aboveboard thing, why did it seem so sneaky?
