Chapter 258: Shao Dong’s Career Blueprint
The last ti Shao Xi had published a book, because it had beco very popular, it had been listed as a best-selling book. Foreign publishers had also asked about it and were interested in translating and publishing it in their own country. Shao Xi was afraid that the translation wouldn’t be good enough and had to check it himself. He also learned foreign languages for this purpose.
Shao Xi was a student, so he still needed to go to school. Because of all this, Shao Xi was really busy.
He had quite a lot of thoughts about his busy schedule. He even wrote an article, saying that his ti had been stolen by the old granny who sunbathed at the village entrance all day long.
The old granny was advanced in age and lived a muddled life. Every day, all she did was sunbathe and eat, always wondering why the day hadn’t passed yet.
The old granny’s day passed slowly, in long intervals, and the sky never seed to turn dark. On the other hand, Shao Xi’s ti was never enough. Therefore, he suspected that his ti was different from the old granny’s or had been stolen by the old granny.
When Shao Xi handed the first draft to Mu Jingzhe, he even discussed it seriously with her. “If it wasn’t stolen, then my ti has been sped up. The old granny has 48 hours a day, while my day only has 12 hours.”
“I think my days have sped up too.” Mu Jingzhe deeply shared the sa sentint.
“So there must be a Ti Thief, right?” Shao Xi pondered it. “I want to find a way to deal with the Ti Thief.”
“What kind of way?” Mu Jingzhe asked.
“Let think about it. I’ll tell you when I’ve thought it through.” Shao Xi left with his notebook, looking deep in thought.
Shao Qihai had been listening outside for a while. Seeing them discussing it so seriously, although he had seen it often, he still felt a little dazed.
Shao Qihai felt that he understood his son, Shao Xi, very well at tis. Sotis, this child knew a lot and was very sharp. Sotis, he felt that he was very naive. From ti to ti, thoughts that would never have occurred to him would pop up in Shao Xi’s head.
He was often stunned and felt unable to keep up with his son’s thoughts, so he always ended up looking for Mu Jingzhe.
“Do you really think Shao Xi is right?” Shao Qihai couldn’t help but ask Mu Jingzhe.
“Although it goes against our understanding, I think it makes sense. I also think that my ti has been sped up or stolen. Otherwise, why do I feel like the days are passing too quickly?”
Shao Qihai: “…”
Alright.
The last thod Shao Xi had found to deal with Ti Thieves, such as growing ten arms, wasn’t very practical in reality but was entirely possible in his literary world.
In the end, his article was published. The main the of the article was that everyone should treasure their ti and arrange their ti in such a way that it improved their efficiency.
When Shao Dong and the others read Shao Xi’s essay, they could empathize with him. After reading it, they even expressed their views, but this ti, they asked Shao Xi to express himself in verbal form and not in written form.
Shao Dong: “I’ve carefully observed my ti. It wasn’t stolen.”
Little Bei sighed. “If only I could steal ti. That way, I could go to school and film at the sa ti.”
Shao Nan said, “ too. If I could also steal ti, I’d use all the stolen ti to read. This way, I could have more ti to experint and play.”
Shao Nan still loved to read and study the most. Now that there were two more professors, Mu Jingzhe increasingly felt that he couldn’t understand the books they sent. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry seed really unfamiliar to her.
In order to facilitate Shao Nan’s learning process and experints, she even specifically created a small experintal lab for him. Usually, Shao Nan would lock the door, saying that he was afraid that soone would break in and get in danger.
The two professors seed to be competing with each other. More and more books were sent over, and the professors were also getting increasingly attentive. From ti to ti, the professor from the University of Law would also join in and send so books over.
Every ti Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Nan’s little head, she was very puzzled. How could such a small brain contain so much knowledge?
Shao Dong was even more aggressive. After going to the capital and then to Ocean City, he suddenly said that he wanted to acquire a factory that produced refrigerators. The factory had only been established a short while ago and had advanced technology and equipnt imported from overseas. The owner had wanted to do sothing big with it, but due to a financial problem, he had been unable to continue.
Shao Dong had very sharp business acun. Considering the current situation, he was very optimistic about this industry, so he said that he wanted to acquire it.
“If I add the money I made from the beverage factory and the scavenging business, I have enough money for the acquisition.”
Initially, Shao Dong had wanted to buy a car for Mu Jingzhe with his younger siblings. However, after gaining so car knowledge, he felt that they weren’t good enough. In addition, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t gotten her driver’s license yet, so he felt that he could use the money for this investnt first.
When he earned more money in the future, he would then buy a car for Mommy. When that ti ca, he would buy an even better one for her.
Shao Dong was ambitious. Not only did he want to produce refrigerators in the future, but he also wanted to produce television sets and washing machines. Although he had only taken the first step, he could already see the third step.
“Mommy, what do you think of my plan? If you think it’s feasible, you can invest in it too. That way, I can take an even bigger step. Uncle said that he has faith in . At first, he was planning to look into buying a house in the city, but he’s not buying one for the ti being. He’s investing in .”
Mu Jingzhe imdiately nodded. “I’ll chip in too. Your uncle made the right choice.”
As for the house, it was very difficult to buy it now, for commodity housing[1] had yet to beco a thing. Many houses in the city had been passed down from their ancestors or allocated by their work unit[2]. In other words, they belonged to the state.
Mu Han didn’t have a partner either, so he wasn’t in a hurry to buy a house. He might as well wait a little longer to invest in a good commodity house.
When the ti ca, Mu Jingzhe would also be investing. As soone who had been reborn or had transmigrated into a novel, if she didn’t buy property, she’d be struck by lightning. If she didn’t buy a house, she would be too embarrassed to say that she was a transmigrator. However, there was no hurry now.
If she stayed by Shao Dong’s side, she could earn money alongside him and support him at the sa ti. Of course she had to do it with him.
“Okay.” Shao Dong looked at Mu Jingzhe’s expression and straightened his chest. “Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll work hard to earn money. I won’t let you lose money.”
“I believe you. But don’t stress yourself out.”
Shao Dong turned around and saw Shao Qihai looking at him. “Little Dong, you know that Daddy actually has so spare money. If you think it’s okay, I’ll also…”
“I know. But Dad, you should keep your money for now, in case our family needs it for an ergency. When I find a new business, I’ll definitely ask you to invest so we can earn money together.” What Shao Dong said was true. He felt that they had to leave so money at ho as backup for ergencies, such as the last ti he had been blackmailed.
Pfft, pfft, pfft. Their family wouldn’t experience such a thing. However, it was only right for them to take precautions.
Of course, more importantly, just like before, he would be cooperating with Uncle[3] on this business. In addition, his mother would invest in it, which ant that this business belonged to his mother’s side of the family. Regardless of whether he earned money or not, it would be better not to implicate his father.
Though Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai had yet to get a divorce for the ti being, they weren’t like ordinary married couples. The future was still uncertain. Considering the long term, Shao Dong felt that it’d be better for them to keep their assets separate. For example, now, both of them were in charge of their own money and they also spent their own money when it ca to expenses.
Although his father tried his best to buy things to support the family, his mother also spent quite a lot each ti.
It could be said that Shao Dong had read the situation very clearly.
