Chapter 157 Mu Bin, Yan Qianqian
The two sisters, Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Laidi, often spent entire days together in the library, eagerly reading all sorts of books to enrich themselves.
Therefore, the two sisters don't need Zhao Yuan and his wife to worry about them at all.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was 1983. By then, Zhao Yuan's "Zhao's Catering" had opened four chain stores in Beijing like mushrooms after rain, and the business was booming.
Zhao Yuan knew that the first Spring Festival Gala would be held that year, and this news gave him a flash of inspiration. A bold and innovative idea came to mind—to place advertisements for his own brand during such a grand and highly anticipated Spring Festival Gala! So, he immediately set about planning the relevant matters.
On the other hand, Mu Bin's father, Mu Jun, is the director of the editorial department of Kyoto Television.
When Mu Bin resolutely resigned from his job to join "Zhao's Kitchen," Mu Jun strongly opposed it. In his view, private enterprises are often highly volatile, lack stability, and their future development is unpredictable, offering no prospects whatsoever.
However, Mu Bin did not give up his choice despite his father's obstruction.
When he went to the TV station to promote the pre-sale cards for "Zhao's Kitchen" and distribute flyers, Mu Jun was furious when he found out.
He felt that his son's actions had caused him to lose face, and he even ruthlessly drove Mu Bin out of the TV station.
What is admirable is that these setbacks did not dampen Mu Bin's determination and fighting spirit in the slightest.
He then went to areas outside of Mu Jun's jurisdiction and continued his promotional activities tirelessly.
During that period, Mu Jun would get so angry whenever he heard news of Mu Bin's busy work outside that he almost vomited blood.
Even so, Mu Bin remained unmoved, steadfastly walking the path he believed in, striving to realize his dream.
However, Mu Bin's outstanding performance and generous income completely changed Mu Jun's opinion of him.
Since Mu Bin started working at "Zhao's Kitchen", he has been full of energy and vitality every day, as if he has inexhaustible energy.
Not only that, his monthly income is several times that of Mu Jun!
Even more surprisingly, there was a considerable bonus at the end of each year. At the end of 1982, Mu Jun actually received a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan! This amount of money was undoubtedly a huge sum for their family, and it fundamentally improved their family's financial situation.
As for Yan Qianqian, her family initially didn't approve of the job she was doing either.
After all, in their eyes, this was just a whim of their daughter's.
So at first, whenever Yan Qianqian said she wanted to do this job, her family would go along with her, thinking it was fine to let her have some fun.
However, when they later discovered that Yan Qianqian was spending her days distributing flyers and selling pre-sale cards at various workplaces, they began to feel dissatisfied.
The elders of the Yan family found it particularly unacceptable that their family's reputation might be damaged by their daughter's public display of behavior.
So they simply locked Yan Qianqian at home, forbidding her from going out and making a fool of herself.
But who would have thought that Yan Qianqian, this stubborn girl, would take advantage of her family's inattention and climb out of the window, and then continue to do her job of handing out flyers and selling pre-sale cards as usual.
Faced with such a stubborn daughter, the Yan family members were furious, but in the end they could only helplessly choose to let her do whatever she wanted.
However, the Yan family has always adhered to one bottom line in this matter: no matter what, Yan Qianqian must never date Mu Bin!
However, after Yan Qianqian stepped into the "Zhao's Kitchen", her fate seemed to have undergone a dramatic change.
Here, she seemed to have met a mentor who could appreciate her talent, and from then on, her life was like a dream come true, with everything going smoothly and she enjoying great success.
Not only that, but once she returned home, she completely transformed into a well-behaved and adorable girl, frequently buying all sorts of exquisite items to bring home as a token of her filial piety towards her grandparents. She was especially fond of her grandfather, a general who had once fought on the battlefield, and she delighted him immensely.
Whenever she successfully won over her grandparents, Yan Qianqian would seize the opportunity to enthusiastically share with them the happy times she shared with Mu Bin.
At first, her grandparents would always interrupt her with a smile, saying, "Alright, alright, let's stop here for today."
However, faced with their granddaughter's frequent praise of Mu Bin and the various merits of "Zhao's Kitchen," they gradually lost their resistance.
After all, seeing his beloved granddaughter so passionate about her job and praising the young man named Mu Bin so highly, and knowing that her income had actually surpassed that of the old general himself since she changed jobs.
Although my grandfather is quite old, he is still very familiar with many of the country's policies, which gives him a unique perspective.
After much deliberation, he gradually accepted the young man, Mu Bin. It's no exaggeration to say that if Mu Bin could successfully pass his grandfather's test, he would essentially gain the approval of the entire Yan family.
Mu Bin finally got Grandpa Yan's approval and could pay a visit to meet the girl's parents!
The day before he was to visit Old Master Yan, a unique preparatory meeting and rehearsal session on "how to pass the test" was held in the luxurious private room of "Zhao's Kitchen".
On this day, Zhao Yuan, Zhou Jiefang, Gong Xianjin, Zhong Weijie, Zhong Weibin, and the main characters Mu Bin and Yan Qianqian all gathered together to brainstorm ideas for Mu Bin's upcoming first visit to his mother-in-law's house.
The group discussed in detail the etiquette details to be aware of when meeting each other, and rehearsed all possible situations one by one.
However, when the day actually came, when Mu Bin saw Grandpa Yan in person, he was so shocked by the old man's imposing aura that his mind went blank. He instantly forgot all the carefully prepared words he had prepared, and even his usually eloquent mouth seemed to have suddenly "gone silent".
At the critical moment, Yan Qianqian stepped forward. She acted cute and coquettishly towards her beloved grandfather, which successfully rescued Mu Bin, who was so nervous that he was at a loss.
Although Grandpa Yan was not entirely satisfied with his future grandson-in-law's performance that day.
