Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Zhang Yan

Zhang Yan greeted his uncles and went to the kitchen to help his mother sort the vegetables.

'Do your second and third uncles want to go to the provincial capital too? He's not as old as Dad, and he's never done this before.'

'No, your second uncle wants your third cousin's husband to go, and your third uncle wants your cousin Zhigang to go,'

Her mother told her while washing the rice and cooking the rice.

'Isn't Brother Zhigang studying at the Open University in the county? Why isn't he studying?'

'He just hangs around all day, so he hasn't learned anything. You know, all those apprentices your father took on have been sending a lot of money home, so he's planning to let him go to the province to follow in your father's footsteps and earn some money. Your third uncle said that he doesn't expect him to support the family, but it's good that he's not reaching out to the family.'

'Oh, that's not bad either. You can't go wrong by following your father.'

Zhang Yan, what can I say, is the daughter of an average family who was raised with plenty of money. The standard for being raised with plenty of money is that from childhood to adulthood, she would not mention unreasonable requests, and for other reasonable needs, her parents would satisfy her without her mentioning them.

Therefore, in the end, whether she was rich or short of money, she didn't care about money. By not caring, I mean that she could spend money when she had it and live without it.

After she and Feng Yiping got together, it was as if the issue of who controlled the finances never existed. She never asked Feng Yiping about his spending, so Feng Yiping never had to deal with the problem of trying to hide his private money, which many men face.

She has grown up without any problems, and her character can be described as simple and straightforward to the point of being insensitive. No matter what happens, as long as there is someone in front of her to take the brunt, she never worries about it. The biggest external benefit of this character is that she not only looks young, but also has good skin without the need for cosmetics.

She often acts on impulse, buying expensive skin care products, trying them out, and then letting them expire just after opening the cap. In the end, Feng Yiping can't bear to waste the money and uses them for her.

She is usually very easy to please, for example, when Feng Yiping goes to the county below, he will bring her back some fresh fruit sold by the roadside fruit farmers, and she will be happy like a little child. Sometimes Feng Yiping comes back late and brings her a bag of potato chips from the downstairs kiosk, and she will cheer for a while.

But if you think she is always so heartless and innocent like a child, you are seriously mistaken.

You have to understand that women are a contradictory combination. For example, she is very timid, and always sleeps with the lights on when she is home alone at night. But she is also very bold, and will force you, who are very scared, to go on a roller coaster with her.

At the same time, women are naturally duplicitous. They show one face to some people and an entirely different face to others.

In the beginning, when she visited Feng Yiping's hometown, she always followed Feng Yiping around. Feng Yiping's cousin's wives couldn't help but test her with their words.

Women, it's in their nature, especially like to fight with each other. They naturally reject those who are new to their ranks. If the newcomer is younger, prettier and more fashionable than they are, they will immediately become the enemy of everyone else.

What's more, women are jealous of other women.

Even Zhang Yan, who is indifferent by nature, often says to herself while munching on an apple, 'Click, click,' and watching the female celebrities endorsing cosmetics in commercials on TV, 'What's the big deal? Take a picture of her without makeup, her skin isn't necessarily as good as mine!'

When she goes shopping, she doesn't get annoyed when she sees Feng Yiping looking at other women a few times. She follows suit and looks at them for a while with an unconcealed critical gaze, and then she will come to a conclusion, 'Their eyes are too far apart!' 'cheekbones too high!', "lips too thin!", "ears too big, oops, why are they still growing that way, the angle with the face should at least be a obtuse angle!"... and so on.

However, when she was at school, she studied painting, and her sketching was not bad, and her sketches were passable. Although her comments make people feel like picking bones, you have to admit that what she says is more or less fair.

Yes, how can a man generally look at a girl with some degree of beauty with a critical eye in a calm and objective manner, especially in those public places, generally grabbing time to take a few glances to satisfy their eyes, of course looking at the most prominent parts of their body, such as looking at the face if it is good-looking, the chest if it is great, the buttocks if it is perky, the legs if they are long, where is the time and mind to find what is not good-looking about her.

So even Zhang Yan was like this, not to mention Feng Yiping's cousins who had always stayed at home. After meeting Zhang Yan, they couldn't help but say a few words about her. Zhang Yan, who was following Feng Yiping, had a very good temper. It seemed that she really didn't take these words to heart, and it was also possible that she didn't listen at all. So she just kept smiling.

Her reaction inevitably made the aunts think she was not to be trifled with, as did the other young wives in the village who had been unimpressed by Zhang Yan. They all thought she was an easy target.

However, without Feng Yiping to follow her, when Zhang Yan returned to her in-laws' home alone, her sister-in-law and the other young wives in the village immediately learned Zhang Yan's formidable strength. Whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group attack, none of them could get the better of Zhang Yan. She would even smile and talk to you when she was angry with you, and never use a single foul word.

Feng Yiping also had a direct experience of Zhang Yan's performance at her class reunion, which was completely different from her usual self. In front of her group of well-groomed female classmates, she was meticulous, diplomatic, and unyielding, not giving in to anyone... Feng Yiping, who was watching from the sidelines, was truly impressed.

So, to sum up, Zhang Yan is not ignorant of the ways of the world, and she is not careless. It's just that she has someone in front of her taking care of things, so she doesn't bother.

Seeing her daughter get confused again as usual and not bothering to think, her mother sighed, 'My child, don't you think about it? Your father called back to find someone because it was too busy over there, and Boss Mei told him to find some more people to go over and help. Your cousins and their friends, they don't know anything, and going over there will even slow them down. Sending them over there is just making your father's job difficult, isn't it?'

At first, Zhang Zuodong took a group of apprentices with him, and no one paid much attention. It wasn't until the apprentices started sending home a lot of money every month that people started asking questions.

Mei Yiliang finally set up a company, hired a full-time designer, and received even more business. At the moment, the three decoration teams were really not enough, so he wanted Zhang Zuodong to find some more skilled people. After Zhang Zuodong made the phone call, many relatives and neighbours came to the door.

'Just say no then!' Zhang Yan said nonchalantly while peeling the skin off a potato.

This girl, her mother whispered, 'Of course it's not good to just say no. I told them it was fine, but the boss makes the final decision. If they can do a good job, they'll naturally stay on. If they're as idle as they were at home, your father can't protect them.'

Although the relationship is a bit distant, they are siblings after all. Besides, there are no technical requirements for a manual labourer, and it mainly depends on whether you are diligent or not. If they can't even do this, then it's not their fault.
