No matter what, Mrs. Gu never expected that she would receive such a negative review.
She almost vomited blood!
She immediately shook off Shen Yunping, who was holding onto her. Blood rushed to her head as she got into the car in her high heels.
Shen Yunping smiled bitterly.
Before getting into the car, she sent a text message to her husband to inform him that her third sister was probably agitated.
[That's even better. Invite Mrs. Gao and the rest to come over to play.]
Zhang Sheng's reply was even more direct.
Mrs. Gu wouldn't understand without some provocation!
Sure enough, after returning home that night, Mrs. Gu locked herself in her room. She was so angry that she didn't even have an appetite for dinner.
After thinking about it for an entire night, she finally figured out what she needed the most now.
There was no other way to shut other people's mouths. She had to be firm and have a source of income.
Everyone knew that she had left the family with almost nothing after the divorce. Naturally, they mocked her for relying on her brother and sister-in-law to eat, drink, and live. They mocked her for not having any children to support her.
Mrs. Gu had always been arrogant. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stand these rumors.
The next morning, she called her brother and sister-in-law to come over.
Even though Zhang Sheng had to go to work, he was forced to take a leave of absence because of her urgent family matters.
"I've thought about it. I want to open an early childhood education institution."
Mrs. Gu thought about it for an entire night and finally corrected her train of thought.
Zhang Sheng's face immediately darkened.
Shen Yunping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Third sister, didn't you want to open a beauty salon yesterday? Early childhood education? Our family doesn't have anyone in the education industry, so we don't have the resources in this area. "
"Sister-in-law, I'll take responsibility for my own profits and losses." Mrs. Gu raised her chin and didn't allow anyone to refute her. "You don't have to worry."
No matter how good-tempered Shen Yunping was, she couldn't stand it.
"Then why did you call your brother over?"
Mrs. Gu didn't sleep the entire night. Her usually delicate face looked haggard and old today.
However, when she heard this sentence, she almost jumped up and spread all the thorns on her body like a hedgehog!
"What do you mean by this?"
"I treat you as my sister-in-law. What do you treat me as? Why do you think I called my brother over?! All these years, I've treated you as my sister-in-law. What about you? You've always been on guard against me! "
Shen Yunping covered her throbbing forehead.
"Zhang Wen, is this how you treat your sister-in-law?"
"You called me and your sister-in-law here to quarrel? What did your sister-in-law say wrong? You're a new person every day. You're in your fifties and you've never done any work before. You can't even stand at the counter. One moment you want to open a beauty salon, the next you want to do morning education?! "
Zhang Sheng glared at him. Obviously, he disagreed.
"Have you ever looked after a child for a day? Even if there was, it was 20 years ago. How much do you know about the current trends in children's education? "
Zhang Sheng was an old-fashioned businessman.
He never thought that as long as he had a large sum of money, he could casually enter any industry and reap the benefits of others.
Even if his son wanted to invest, he would need to see a proper business plan and detailed report before he would give the money, let alone someone like Mother Gu who was ignorant of worldly affairs!
This wasn't starting a company. This was being a sucker and giving money to others!
"Big Brother, even you think of me like that?"
Mother Gu was on the verge of breaking down.
In the past, no one had told her that it was wrong to be a parasite.
Old Zhang's father had doted on her since she was young, and no one had stopped him.
Later, Gu Jiangxin made her a full-time housewife, and no one had stopped him either.
Today, she had divorced and returned to her parents' home. Naturally, she didn't know how to do anything, but she was criticized behind her back.
It wasn't easy for her to learn from the painful experience last night. She thought that she could work hard and live on her own like Qian Jinglan. In the end, she was pointed at and scolded by her big brother, saying that she couldn't do anything.
What should she do then?!
She couldn't work hard, and she couldn't not work hard either!
"I know. You think that I'm back to snatch the Zhang family's assets from you, so it's best if I can live my life peacefully and ask my daughter for money."
Mother Gu sneered.
"No wonder Big Brother kept reminding me and hinting that I should ask Wushuang for money."
Zhang Sheng was so angry that he almost couldn't speak.
However, Mother Gu put down her phone. "Big Brother, Second Brother is abroad, so I called him. Let's talk about it together. Some of you are unhappy that I'm back in the Zhang family, but no matter what, I will still have my share of the assets after Father passes away. I'm going to let Father draft his will first. According to the will, I'll get an advance and use the money to start my early education class. As for the profits and losses, I'll be responsible for them myself. In the future, I'll take my share of the food and drink here. "
Not only Zhang Sheng, but even Shen Yunping was dumbfounded.
They didn't know how Mother Gu's brain worked. If they hadn't brought her back, she would probably still be crying in Shen City!
They brought her back, but now she was criticizing them and saying that she wanted to split the family assets with them!
Zhang Sheng was so angry that he laughed. He was so angry that he agreed immediately! "Okay, okay!"
Shen Yunping couldn't say much about this matter.
After all, when the Zhang family would split and how the assets would be divided, as a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
When Mother Gu saw that they didn't say anything, she was even more stubborn.
She was also angry. Even though she vaguely knew that her elder brother didn't intend to distance himself from her like this, after hearing Mrs. Gao's ridicule yesterday, she understood.
As time passed, her elder brother's thoughts would change.
No matter how much he doted on her in the past, now that he had a wife and children, he would no longer be loyal to her. Sooner or later, he would complain that she spent too much.
Therefore, they had split early. She took the money and did proper business, relying on herself!
When Mother Gu said this, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
She even felt refreshed for a moment. After all, she never talked about money with Gu Jiangxin, and she didn't ask for anything in return from her daughter, Gu Wushuang. However, in the end, she was in a difficult position. Not only did she not gain a good reputation, but she was also called stupid.
Now she understood. When she asked for money, she had to distinguish between her emotions and the family assets!
When she said this, she actually felt that it wasn't too difficult!
It turned out that she could do it too!
"It's up to you!"
Zhang Sheng didn't want to listen to the rest, so he pulled Shen Yunping and left.
He agreed, and Second Brother Zhang, who spent all year abroad playing with his grandchildren, naturally didn't object.
The two of them didn't have any objections. Father Zhang's mental state was indeed deteriorating year by year, so he naturally wanted to make a clean will while he was still sane.
In the end, Mother Gu got her wish and got her father's will in advance. She took 15% of the Zhang family's business shares and the old house where Father Zhang lived.
Originally, in her generation, there were only two brothers with her.
"In the past few years, most of the Zhang family's hard work was due to Eldest Brother and Second Brother. You have many sons too. As a younger sister, I'm also reasonable. I'm willing to let my brothers take more. "
Mother Gu felt that she was very sensible.
She was also very smart. She only cashed in a small portion of the shares and took five million first.
The rest was still left to her brothers and nephews to manage the company. She could get annual dividends.
However, her 'sensible' words didn't garner any extra attention from her brothers.
A few days later, Father Zhang was also taken away by Zhang Sheng. Mother Gu felt that she didn't need to take care of her old father and could focus more on her 'education' career. Naturally, she agreed faster than anyone else.
Thus, Zhang Sheng occasionally came to the old house for dinner, and Zhang Qi often called to ask about his younger sister. Now, the two brothers seemed to have reached an agreement and gradually stopped interacting with Mother Gu.
…
Another week later, Mother Gu consulted a few professional investment managers and angel investors. Only then did she find out that she wanted to set up a comprehensive chain of early childhood education institutions and create a brand. The five million starting capital was still a little tight.
The first suggestion given by the other party was estimated to be eight million yuan. The initial investment would be two to three stores.
This far exceeded Mother Gu's budget.
She had just seen Eldest Brother Zhang Sheng's cold face and didn't want to be rebuffed so quickly. She couldn't help but think of her precious daughter.
Usually, no matter what happened, she doted on Wushuang the most in her heart. However, thinking about it today, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She had been in the capital for so long, but she hadn't seen her daughter at all.
During this period, other than the usual text messages and phone calls to greet her, Gu Wushuang didn't say anything else.
Thinking of Mrs. Gao and the others' words, Mother Gu felt uneasy and immediately dialed a number.
"Shuang, it's Mommy."
"Didn't Mommy tell you yesterday that I want to open an early childhood education institution? It's very popular in the capital now. Mommy has raised five million yuan and is still short of three million yuan … "
This was the first time she had asked her daughter for money.
She was a little embarrassed to say it, but before she could finish speaking, she heard panting on the other end of the line.
"Mommy, I'm tight on money now. You know that after what happened to Dad, Brother Cheng and I have been implicated recently. I haven't even received my salary from the company."
Gu Wushuang's reply was faster than Mother Gu had expected. Without any hesitation, he rejected her.
"Short of three million yuan? Mommy, have you been cheated? Did Uncle Zhang also agree to your investment? Eight million yuan isn't a small amount. "
Mother Gu's heart sank.
"I consulted a few companies. They said that we can start making profits in the second half of next year …"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the other end of the line.
"Mommy, if we can make money, Uncle Zhang should be able to help you with the three million yuan gap, right? Sigh, I have a phone call at ten o 'clock. Mommy, I can't continue talking to you for the time being. I'll call you again tonight. Bye, Mommy! "
Beep, beep, beep —
The series of beeps made Mother Gu's heart sink. It was as if a stone had been tied to it, and it sank to the bottom of a lake with a whoosh!
Her hand, which was holding the phone, trembled a little.
Previously, when Zhang Sheng said that Wushuang's character wasn't good, she didn't believe him.
When Mrs. Gao said this again, she felt a little resentment towards her daughter for neglecting her, but overall, she still believed her daughter.
But today, she truly felt like an inflated rubber ball, being kicked around by her family and her daughter's Wushuang.
One hoped that her daughter would provide money to support her, and the other hoped that she would ask the Zhang family for money to invest …
She couldn't count on either side?!
Mother Gu couldn't believe it.
Her hands trembled even more!
The main point was that her eldest brother, second brother, and sister-in-law didn't owe her anything. She knew in her heart that at most, she would make a fuss about what her father had given her.
But this precious daughter — it was different!
The family, shares, and house that she had received from Gu Jiangxin were all given to her daughter Wushuang with her approval!
How much was this little property worth?!
Now, she couldn't get three million yuan just because she wanted it? She couldn't even borrow it temporarily?
If she had held on tightly to these assets at that time and didn't give them to her daughter, would things still be like this today?
If her daughter Wushuang wanted to use the money to start a company, she probably wouldn't have hesitated to gather money from the company, sell the house, and borrow money from others to give it to her daughter!
Why did her daughter treat her like this?!
Mother Gu's chest felt suffocated.
Qian Jinglan's son could give her a million yuan a month out of filial piety, and she still mocked her!
…
In the study of the Mount Heng villa in the suburbs, the orange lights were still on.
"Mr. Zhang Sheng and Mr. Zhang Qi have already reduced their contact with Mother Gu."
"Zhang Sheng has already hired an appraisal company to prepare the valuation of the shares that Mother Gu received. He wants to buy them back in cash from Mother Gu."
Second Si stood in front of the desk and reported to Huo Sishen, who was now dressed in casual clothes.
"Okay."
Huo Sishen didn't even look up.
This was to be expected.
If it were him, he would do the same.
He would take back 15% of Mother Gu's shares and take full control of the company, so that in the future, she wouldn't be ignorant and cry that she wanted to sit in on the meetings as a small shareholder, give orders, and let people like Gu Wushuang enjoy the dividends for generations to come.
"The early education institution that she wants to start is lacking in funds. She seems to have raised money from Gu Wushuang, but was rejected. "
Second Si grinned.
He didn't mind if things got out of hand.
The more he ate, the more he felt that Mother Gu was really interesting.
"Boss, do you want to send her Si Yi's recording?" He wanted to wake her up completely!
Huo Sishen lowered his eyes.
"Transfer it to Zhang Sheng and send another copy to the Huo family."
Second Si's expression froze, but he quickly pulled out an even bigger smile.
"Okay!"
