Chapter 97 Shen Wancheng Meets the Parents 2
Shen Wancheng nodded.
"Yes, there is such a plan."
At the same time, Shen Wancheng gave Wen Nan a faint smile.
The same thing, said by people of different statuses, can give completely different impressions.
If Shen Wancheng were to say the thing about persuading Ms. Lan herself, it would give people the impression of smugness and boasting.
In a situation like meeting the man's elders for the first time, given Shen Wancheng's emotional intelligence, she would absolutely not bring up this matter on her own initiative. At most, she would mention that she plans to start a clothing or luxury goods business.
This would also prevent her from attracting Gu Mingqian's attention.
However, when Wen Nan, who was also Gu Jinxing's elder, spoke out, it was only an objective fact that proved Shen Wancheng's abilities.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng thanked Wen Nan with a smile without making a sound.
Gu Mingqian spent his entire life navigating the business world, and aside from doing business, his only interest was in jade.
Upon hearing that Shen Wancheng was going to start a clothing business, he instinctively asked her a question.
"The clothing industry is just an ordinary traditional industry. What new ideas do you have that make you think you can gain a foothold in this industry?"
Shen Wancheng was still mentally preparing her answer when Gu Jinxing interrupted the conversation.
"Grandpa, don't test people on the first meeting."
"Haha, okay, okay, this is the first time I've seen you so anxious to protect someone, I won't ask anymore."
Facing Gu Jinxing, Gu Mingqian changed his previous serious demeanor and actually chuckled twice.
Shen Wancheng glanced at Gu Jinxing without leaving a trace.
Gu Mingqian truly loves Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng felt a little relieved. As long as she understood this, Gu Mingqian would not make things too difficult for her after the marriage.
Gu Mingqian said he wouldn't ask anymore, but we can't just sit here doing nothing.
Wen Nan spoke up at the right time to warm up the atmosphere.
"Wancheng, do you still have family in the mainland? Should we have Jinxing bring them to Hong Kong Island for your wedding?"
"No, my sister and I left our hometown for Hong Kong Island because our mother passed away, leaving only us sisters."
"I'm sorry, please accept my condolences."
"It's okay, one must always look forward. Besides, I've found my maternal grandfather, so I'm not without relatives."
"It's good that you think that way."
Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan chatted for a few minutes, and during a break in their conversation, Gu Hengzhi suddenly asked a question.
"The national college entrance examination has only been reinstated for two years. You didn't take it, did you?"
"No, my mom used to take care of my sister and me by herself, and we didn't have the opportunity to go to school."
Gu Hengzhi frowned slightly.
"Do you want to go to university? If you do, you can study at Hong Kong Island University."
this....
If Shen Wancheng didn't have an innate achievement system, she really wouldn't mind going to Hong Kong Island University for a few years to learn new knowledge.
But with the system in place, going to Hong Kong Island University to study would be a waste of money.
Shen Wancheng felt that four years was enough time for her to build a business that was no less impressive than that of the Gu and He families.
After all, this is the golden age of Hong Kong's economic development, with money everywhere, something that is hard to come by.
Shen Wancheng was still thinking about how to refuse tactfully when Gu Jinxing answered for her again.
This time, Gu Jinxing didn't speak as gently as he had to Gu Mingqian.
“Going to university is a waste of time; she may know just as much as you do.”
Gu Hengzhi was a very reasonable person in every other aspect, but when it came to studying and literature, he couldn't tolerate anyone saying anything unpleasant.
As Gu Jinxing spoke, Gu Hengzhi visibly blushed.
Wen Nan sat next to him and couldn't be pulled away.
"Gu Jinxing, I am your father. Don't you even understand basic human respect?"
Gu Jinxing was completely unaffected by Gu Hengzhi's anger.
"I'm just telling the truth. Not everyone is willing to make the same choice as you."
Gu Hengzhi opened his mouth to speak again, but was interrupted sharply by Gu Mingqian.
"What's all the noise about? It's Wan Cheng's first time here, and you're already making a fool of yourself."
Shen Wancheng tried her best to conceal her presence and minimize her aura.
Suddenly, Gu Jinxing reached out and grabbed Shen Wancheng's hand.
Shen Wancheng was taken aback and looked at Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing gave Shen Wancheng a reassuring look.
"Grandpa, let's go sit at your place first. I believe Wancheng will give you another surprise."
Gu Mingqian watched Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng with great interest.
"Okay, then come to my place."
Gu Mingqian stood up and glanced at Gu Hengzhi, who was being pulled along by Wen Nan.
"I'll call you for lunch."
After Gu Mingqian finished speaking, he strode out of the living room, with Shen Wancheng pushing Gu Jinxing behind him.
After leaving the living room, Gu Jinxing said to Shen Wancheng.
"You don't need to care about their opinions or attitudes. If you don't want to do something, just refuse directly."
The way Gu Jinxing said it made it sound like Gu Hengzhi and Wen Nan weren't his parents.
Now that things have come to this point, it's clear how close Gu Jinxing is to them.
However, Shen Wancheng wouldn't interfere in reconciling the relationship between Gu Jinxing and his parents.
Gu Jinxing's words were clearly meant to save her trouble and ease her mental burden.
Shen Wancheng should just accept it.
"Okay, I really can't go to school."
Gu Jinxing chuckled softly, seemingly out of nowhere.
"With your current brainpower, you could learn four years' worth of university material in just half a month, right?"
Shen Wancheng thought to herself, "You're wrong, it's one night."
On the surface, however, he remained modest.
"It will probably still take another month."
Gu Jinxing turned his head and looked up at Shen Wancheng.
"Is that you being modest?"
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow.
"of course."
Gu Mingqian, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke loudly.
"What are you two young people saying behind me? Why aren't you following?"
Shen Wancheng replied, "Okay, Grandpa Gu, please wait a moment."
Gu Jinxing prompted Shen Wancheng before they could catch up with Gu Mingqian.
“My grandfather loves to talk about business and the economic situation. You can chat with him about these things later, and by lunchtime he will treat you like his own granddaughter.”
Shen Wancheng readily agreed, "Received!"
As Gu Jinxing had said, Gu Mingqian was most interested in things like doing business.
They had just sat down in the living room of the building where Gu Mingqian lived when Gu Mingqian asked.
"Girl, there's no one else here now. Would you be willing to tell me about your plans for your clothing business?"
Shen Wancheng said modestly, "I run a small business, how could I possibly meet your standards?"
Gu Mingqian said, "You're wrong. Business isn't about size. A good manager can turn a small business into a big one. Would you mind telling me about it?"
Shen Wancheng stopped being polite and spoke directly.
"Actually, I don't just want to do clothing business, I want to create a luxury brand, a luxury brand that belongs to Hong Kong Island and China."
"brand?"
"Yes!"
Shen Wancheng affirmed.
Then Shen Wancheng briefly explained the brand value theory she had previously shared with Li Su, as well as her own entrepreneurial plan, avoiding the important points and simplifying the complexities.
Gu Mingqian's eyes lit up as he listened, and he praised Shen Wancheng several times.
