53: Different Fates for the Same People
Han Wen is no fool. Having lived two lives, his knowledge and experience are far beyond what ordinary people can match.
Actually, he had some thoughts on this before. However, when Zhou Yu said it out loud, it still left him speechless and upset.
Since ancient times, marriage has always been about matching social status and economic conditions.
Han Wen had been married and had a daughter in his previous life. As a father, he understood Zhou Ning's parents' actions, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
However, he couldn't express these emotions. Because it would be pointless. On the contrary, it might lead Zhou Yu to misunderstand.
"Hanwen, don't be sad. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. Things will work themselves out."
"There's definitely a way to resolve the issue between you and Ningning. It's just a matter of time." Zhou Ning comforted her, "Ningning can't stay abroad forever; she'll come back sooner or later."
I know her personality; once she's decided on you for life, even my parents' objections won't change anything.
Besides, I'm here for you. Don't worry, your big brother believes in you and will always stand by your side to support you.
"Thank you, brother. You're busy now, I'm leaving." Han Wen nodded and stood up: "In the future, if there's anything at the company, you can just call me."
"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded and saw Han Wen off, saying, "Drive carefully on the road, and be safe."
"I understand." Han Wen nodded, left the company, got into his car, and prepared to go home.
Han Wen was driving while lost in thought, and his expression quickly returned to normal.
He'll handle his own relationship matters. There's no need to let Mom know, so she won't worry.
When Han Wen drove home, Han Qingyan was already back. She smiled when she saw her son.
"Wenwen, where did you go? Why are you only coming back now?" Han Qingyan asked with concern.
"I was concerned about the company's situation, so I drove over for a look," Han Wen replied, casually asking, "Mom, how did your talks with Feng Xiaogang and Li Xiaoming go today?"
"The result was alright, it achieved the expected goal." Han Qingyan replied with a smile, "Wenwen, you have no idea how difficult this Feng Xiaogang is to deal with."
He's not very old, but he's incredibly shrewd and difficult to deal with.
Luckily, your sudden appearance disrupted his rhythm and provided excellent cover for me. Otherwise, the chances of getting him to sign the contract today would have been slim.
Now look what's happened, he's finally in my hands. If he doesn't meet my demands, just wait and see how I deal with him.
"Mom, take it easy. Don't treat them like you treated me when I was a kid."
"They're adults, not children." Han Wen laughed: "However, this Feng Xiaogang is indeed intelligent and ambitious."
Only with proper discipline and restraint will he behave obediently and work diligently for us, earning money for us.
"Haha, Wenwen, don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing and can handle the situation."
"Mom has lived most of her life and seen all kinds of people. It'll be a piece of cake for her to handle these guys." Han Qingyan nodded, quite pleased with himself. "By the way, Wenwen, Feng Xiaogang wants to invite you to work with them on adapting the script."
He said you are a writer who became famous at a young age and are very talented. You can go and help them out and learn something.
Mom wasn't quite sure what you were thinking, so she didn't immediately agree to his request. What's your opinion?
"Hilarious. Mom, he only made that invitation because of you." After hearing his mother's words, Han Wen truly admired Feng Xiaogang's ability to curry favor: "He knows I'm your son and is deliberately trying to curry favor with me."
I promise he'll let me be credited even if I don't change a single word. The problem is, I don't care.
Why waste my time and energy on this when I could be making money? I don't want fame anyway, so forget it.
I won't get involved in the script adaptation, but I would be interested in casting.
"Wenwen, since you don't want to be a screenwriter, I'll reject him tomorrow." Han Qingyan nodded and couldn't help but ask, "But now you even have a film and television company, are you really not going to become a star and singer?"
"You're so handsome, it's a shame you're not a star. And you sing so well, it would be a waste if you didn't sing."
"Mom, I feel pretty good as I am now. I really have never thought about becoming a star or a singer." After thinking for a moment, Han Wen said to Han Qingyan very seriously, "I'm all grown up now. I have my own ideas and pursuits. Please don't force me."
Let's talk about these things later. Maybe I'll change my mind someday.
"You, Mom knows you best." Han Qingyan looked at her incredibly handsome son, feeling a little regretful: "If I want you to change your mind, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until my next life."
"If there really is a next life, I will definitely follow your arrangements. I will not only become a movie star, but also a singing king." Han Wen nodded and laughed heartily: "In this life, I want to be your pride, and in the next life, I will still be your pride."
"There's no afterlife," Han Qingyan said, laughing at his words and shaking her head.
The mother and son were chatting happily when Gu Amei rode in from outside on her bicycle.
After Han Qingyan came to Jinghua City, Han Wen moved back home to live with her.
Gu Amei felt bored and a little scared living alone in Kingsoft Technology, so she moved in as well.
Her home was right next to Han Wen's, and she would come over to hang out for a while every day after get off work. Then, she would have dinner with Han Qingyan and Han Wen.
Han Qingyan treated Gu Amei almost like a daughter. When he saw her come in, he greeted her, "Little Mei, you're off work."
"Yes, Aunt Han." Gu Amei nodded, parked her bicycle, and sat down in front of the two people. "Aunt Han, when are we going to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"The food was ready a long time ago. Han Wen and I have been waiting for you to come back," Han Yanqing smiled and called out towards the kitchen, "Xingzi, bring the food up. Let's eat."
"Okay, Aunt Han," Xingzi replied crisply from the kitchen.
Xingzi is from Jiangnan Province. Although she and Lu Xiangdong are not from the same place, they are from the same hometown.
The little girl is quite young and only has a primary school education. However, she is very diligent and intelligent.
These days, most people who go out to work are from rural areas. Moreover, they are from very poor rural areas.
They were mostly forced to go out to work because they were starving and cold. It was similar to begging for food back then, a sad and desperate situation.
After Han Wen tried Xingzi out for a few days, he felt she was quite good, so he kept her on. Han Yanqing was also very satisfied with this young nanny and treated her very kindly.
Gu Amei had worked as a nanny before, and every time she saw Xingzi, she was reminded of her own tragic past. Therefore, she was very kind to this little girl who was about the same age as herself.
Unfortunately, different people have different fates. Gu Amei now owns two courtyard houses in Jinghua City, which will be worth at least several hundred million in the future. Even if she does nothing, she is destined to live a life of wealth and luxury.
As for Xingzi, she probably wouldn't earn that much money in several lifetimes, let alone in this one.
