Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 529 Mother Shen disagrees to sell the house again
After watching Wan'er leave, Qi Wei looked at Xue Kexin and Shen Mingbao and said:
"Oh, by the way, someone from Huisi contacted me just now. They said that they have handed over the online promotion to Zeliang."
"Yes, the ground push was given to us."
Xue Kexin smiled.
Hearing this, Shen Mingbao couldn't help but frowned slightly and said:
"Door-to-door sales? We have never done it before. What is door-to-door sales?"
"Cash rewards, like a wash basin, scanning a QR code, downloading an app, or just a red envelope, 20 yuan for a phone."
Qi Wei looked at Shen Mingbao and explained. After listening to her, Shen Mingbao said happily:
"It's simple and crude, just spend money!"
"That's right. Huisi Finance's major shareholder is Kunbo Group, and they recently cooperated with Tengfei Capital. They are not short of money, okay?"
After smiling, Qi Wei looked at Xue Kexin curiously:
"Boss, what's our budget?"
"One billion."
"Ah, how much?"
"One billion?"
Qi Wei and Shen Mingbao were stunned when they heard Xue Kexin say that the budget for this field promotion work was 1 billion yuan. Their company had never received such a large order since its establishment. It was good to have a listed company as it was nice to be under the shade of a big tree and keep the wealth within the family.
Looking at the surprised Qi Wei and Shen Mingbao, Xue Kexin said calmly:
"Keep your voice down, it's like you've never seen money before."
"I've never seen 1 billion before. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Well, I haven't seen it."
After rolling his eyes at Qi Wei and Shen Mingbao who were acting weird, Xue Kexin took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet in the office, two high-heeled glasses and said with a smile:
"Let's have a couple of drinks to celebrate."
"Hey, there's a pregnant woman here."
Shen Mingbao rolled her eyes at Xue Kexin and said angrily, Xue Kexin immediately glared back at her and said with a smile:
"Drink some water."
After saying that, Xue Kexin poured a glass of red wine for Qi Wei and a glass of warm water for Shen Mingbao. She took another glass and poured half a glass of red wine into it.
Seeing that Xue Kexin and Qi Wei could drink red wine, but she could only drink water, Shen Mingbao was immediately unhappy. She pouted her lips in anger, and her cheeks were puffed up, just like an angry little girl. Of course, she did it on purpose. Since she became pregnant, she has been acting like a spoiled child with Yuan Xudong at home, and acting like a spoiled child with Xue Kexin, her best friend, at work. Women who like to act like a spoiled child are loved by others, but the prerequisite is that they must be beautiful. If they are ugly and still act like a spoiled child, that would be disgusting. At this time, Qi Wei smiled and said, holding a wine glass:
"I have to take it easy. For a project like this, the budget is 1 billion?"
"Yeah, that's why I say it's a big deal!"
Xue Kexin and Qi Wei clinked their glasses and laughed. Qi Wei smiled and said:
"It looks like they're planning on taking a gamble!"
"No wonder the promotion was not handed over to Zeliang. You are the daughter of the Kunbo Group. Of course, I feel at ease handing over this real money to you. I can't trust anyone else!"
Shen Mingbao said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Xue Kexin bowed to the sky and sighed in a pretentious manner:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
“Haha~~”
They looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Qi Wei asked curiously:
"Hey, has our emperor always been so wise and decisive?"
"On the contrary, he is always cautious."
"Did Zhao Songwen brainwash you?"
"Is this woman so powerful?"
Shen Mingbao and Qi Wei were shocked again. They felt that Xue Guixiang, Xue Kexin's father, was fooled by this woman Zhao Songwen. Otherwise, why would he take out 1 billion yuan in real money to promote Rong Wenbao?
Xue Kexin just smiled and didn't answer this question. She looked at Shen Mingbao who was sitting on the chair with a big belly and said with a smile:
"Hey, don't participate in this project."
“Why shouldn’t I participate?”
"You are pregnant."
"What's wrong with me being pregnant? The day my mother gave birth to me, she was still carrying coal briquettes!"
"What era was it when your mother gave birth to you? This job is really not suitable for you, running around everywhere. Besides, you have never done it before."
Qi Wei also advised, and after looking at her, Shen Mingbao stood up from her chair in an instant. She ran around Xue Kexin's office, trying to prove that she could continue to work.
"Why is it not suitable for me? I run around everywhere. Can't I run? Am I not running fast?"
"Alright, alright, alright, stop trying to show off and sit down!"
Qi Wei helped Shen Mingbao sit down again. She looked at Xue Kexin and said anxiously:
"Pregnant women need exercise. Besides, I like this kind of challenging work. I like to break out of my comfort zone!"
"Boss Shen, you said that your big belly is unsightly, but the people at Zeliang keep bringing this up, and they think our company is exploiting even the labor of pregnant women."
Xue Kexin advised, but Shen Mingbao didn't want to stay at home without working, especially since this billion-yuan order was too rare. She looked at Xue Kexin and argued:
"No, I'm pregnant with twins. It's too early to show it!"
"Hey, Shen Mingbao, why can't you figure it out?"
At this time Qi Wei advised again:
"Letting you have a good rest is our company's consideration for you. You are taking paid maternity leave, and you have enough money and benefits. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Am I being too stubborn? This is my job, my responsibility!"
"It's not too late to take on this responsibility after you give birth to the baby!"
Xue Kexin pointed at Shen Mingbao's pregnant belly and smiled. Seeing her like this, Shen Mingbao looked at her, then turned his head to look at Qi Wei next to him, and said with some suspicion:
"No, did you two collude to take advantage of me giving birth to a child?"
"Absolutely not!"
"You have paranoid delusions?"
Seeing that Qi Wei and Xue Kexin did not admit it, Shen Mingbao's eyes lit up again and said:
"Did Yuan Xudong threaten you? He asked you to give me a long vacation so that I can go home and rest and take care of my baby?"
"Shen Mingbao, stop daydreaming. No one wants to harm you. Just finish your work today and go home to prepare for the birth of your baby!"
"But I..."
Before Shen Mingbao could finish his words, Xue Kexin clinked glasses with Qi Wei and said with a smile:
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"you……"
Looking at the complacent Xue Kexin and Qi Wei, Shen Mingbao said with a bitter face:
"If you two bully me, I'll tell Yuan Xudong!"
"Go ahead!"
"Hurry up, I'm still waiting for Yuan Xudong to come over and reward me!"
“I’m so pissed off!”
"Ha ha……"
…
In the afternoon, after Shen Mingbao finished her work, she returned home from Zhirui Tianjie Company. She lay on the sofa in the living room with a big belly and said depressedly:
"For professional women, work is a weapon, a source of value, and a pillar of life. Without work, without the illusory windmill, what would those Don Quixotes rely on to imagine dragons?"
"Isn't it good not to work?"
At this time, Shen's mother came over with a plate of cut fruit platter. She placed the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of Shen Mingbao, then sat down next to her, feeding her fruit while happily saying:
"That's you. You're not happy about getting paid for nothing?"
"Not allowing me to work is a loss of sovereignty and humiliation of the country. Taking away my computer and my office is like ceding territory and paying compensation!"
Shen Mingbao grumbled as she ate the small piece of fruit her mother fed her. Her face was full of anger, like a little girl having a temper. Needless to say, she was just being coquettish with her mother. Looking at her precious daughter, Shen's mother smiled as she fed her fruit:
"Look at you. You haven't been demoted or had your salary cut. Besides, you still have Xiao Yuan to take care of you. What are you worried about?"
"But now is a critical period for the company, and we need to integrate various resources. If you really care about me, you should let me work until the due date!"
"Are you out of your mind?"
Giving Shen Mingbao a blank look, Mother Shen quickly stuffed fruit slices into her mouth to prevent her from talking nonsense again. Looking at her precious daughter puffing up her cheeks like a little hamster, Mother Shen couldn't help laughing and said:
"You are stupid, is your crappy job more important or is the baby in your belly more important?"
Hearing this, Shen Mingbao ate his fruit and mumbled in reply:
“Both are important!”
"You can only choose one!"
"No, I want to choose two!"
"Silly child, how much money can you earn from working? A mother's status depends on her children, not to mention that you gave birth to twins at once!"
After rolling her eyes at Shen Mingbao, Mother Shen said with a smile:
"Let me tell you, Xiao Yuan's huge family business will belong to you and the children in the future, right? Just wait and enjoy your life. We women should be supported by men. Don't work so hard. You will get old easily, don't you know?"
"Oh, but I'm just a little panicked. What if the man is unreliable?"
"Then give birth to a child, and I will rely on the child to support you in the future!"
"No, so they are the ones who rely on their parents, and I am the one who relies on the children?"
"Are you stupid?"
Mother Shen didn't know how many times she rolled her eyes, looking at her silly baby daughter. No wonder people say that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, and pregnancy with twins makes her stupid for six years. She fed the last piece of apple on the plate into Shen Mingbao's mouth, then wiped the corners of her mouth with the napkin on the coffee table and smiled:
"Is the child Xiao Yuan's? Does he have to pay you alimony?"
"Tsk tsk, are you interested in other people's property?"
"What are you talking about? How can you talk about your mother like that?"
Giving Shen Mingbao a cold look, Mother Shen said angrily:
"I'm doing this all for your own good, right? You're already so pregnant, and he didn't even tell you when he was going to marry you. And you got pregnant with his child without knowing why? Don't you think about yourself?"
Seeing the silent Shen Mingbao, Mother Shen changed the topic to a lighter one:
"Oh, now that you have some free time, you can take care of the house. I have an appointment with a Feng Shui master to check the Feng Shui of our new house today. You can come and take a look!"
"What's the point of looking at Feng Shui? These are all feudal superstitions, okay?"
"What kind of feudal superstition is this? It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. Do you understand?"
"exaggerate!"
…
In the new house, a bald monk wearing two strings of Buddhist beads on his neck and holding a Bagua Liangyi brass compass in his hand looked around. Mother Shen followed him with a pious look on her face. Shen Mingbao was half-believing and half-doubting, and Yang Manman, who brought them to see the house, was stunned. She had received many clients who came to see the house, and it could be said that there were all kinds of clients, but this was the first time she had seen someone who brought a monk to see the house, and he was a family member. This was considered a great learning.
After walking around the empty house for half an hour, the bald monk looked at Mother Shen with a serious face and said,
"This house is a good house in itself..."
Looking at the so-called Feng Shui master with a serious face and a rhythmic voice, Yang Manman blinked and silently said in her heart:
"but……"
Sure enough, according to the general routine, it is certain that there will be praise first and then criticism. The Feng Shui master really saw that there is a problem with the Feng Shui of this house. In fact, it is all nonsense. If there is no problem with the Feng Shui of this house, how can the Feng Shui master charge money?
Let the "capitalists" disguised as Feng Shui masters come to check whether there are any problems. Even if there are no problems, there are still problems. Alas, no, the biggest problem is that there are no problems. Since there are no problems, then just create problems. Anyway, your own test results have the final say, and others don't understand this. Of course, we are talking about Feng Shui masters here, which is an old feudal superstition. Similar situations do not exist at all in today's society. People make money honestly and will not cheat, okay?
Let's get back to the point. The Feng Shui master really did what Yang Manman had in mind. He praised the house first, then changed the subject, and said seriously, as if the future was bright but the road was tortuous:
"…But the only thing that matters is the signing time!"
"Signing time?"
Looking at the master of Lingyin Temple who was introduced to her by others, Mother Shen said devoutly:
"Master, please give me some more advice!"
"Of course. The sooner the contract is signed, the better. It cannot be more than five days. Otherwise, something unexpected may happen!"
"Five days?"
Shen Mingbao asked curiously:
"Master, why is it five days?"
"That is to say, why is it five days? Can't it be three days, or six days?"
"Amitabha, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Everything is just a coincidence. If you are too obsessed with why, then you two donors are just being obsessed!"
Looking at Shen Mingbao and Yang Manman who were obviously suspicious of him, the Feng Shui master put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra to explain:
"As the saying goes, it is a blessing to be ignorant. The two donors are in this world, so why do you bother yourself with troubles? You know why, or you don't know why. You are powerless to change it, but you can only blame others. Isn't it unnecessary to be involved in karma, and the gain is not worth the loss?"
Looking at the mysterious Feng Shui master, Shen Mingbao and Yang Manman were dumbfounded. It seemed that what the monk said made sense!
"Master, don't mind it. They don't understand, but I do. That's all I need to know!"
Looking at the square-headed, big-eared master, or rather the bald master with a greasy face, Mother Shen said consciously:
"Master, I wonder how much money should be donated for this charity?"
"Amitabha, the more the better. The Buddha will bless you with his mercy!"
"Thank you, Master!"
After thanking the Feng Shui master, Mother Shen transferred one thousand yuan to him through WeChat. Then, thinking of the Buddha, she transferred another two hundred and fifty yuan.
After receiving the money, the Feng Shui master left. Only then did Yang Manman couldn't help but complain:
"Amitabha, the more the better. The Buddha will bless you with his mercy. It turns out that the Buddha also likes rich people!"
"What else?"
Deliberately rolling his eyes at Yang Manman, Shen Mingbao joked with her:
"If there is no money, where does the Buddha get his golden body?"
"Don't joke around. Does God know what's going on?"
Seeing Shen Mingbao and Yang Manman joking about Buddha, Shen's mother couldn't help but blame them. Unlike young people like Shen Mingbao and Yang Manman, although Shen's mother was not feudal and superstitious, she also believed in ghosts and gods. Although what she said was a bit self-contradictory, that was the meaning. However, Shen Mingbao and Yang Manman would not agree with it. Shen Mingbao smiled and said:
"As the proverb goes, there is a god above your head. Don't be afraid of others knowing you, be afraid of yourself knowing you. The key point is the latter part, which means that people should not do things that would make them guilty, not that there is really a god above your head!"
"That is to say, where are ?"
Yang Manman also refuted:
"If I do good, why should God punish me just because I said a few words to him? If I do evil, why should God bless me just because I believe in him devoutly? Isn't this a contradiction?"
“That makes sense!”
Giving Yang Manman an encouraging look, Shen Mingbao tried to change his mother's feudal and backward ideas and said:
"If a good person who has done good deeds all his life just said a few words to the gods and the gods want to punish him, is this still good? Similarly, if a bad person who has done evil deeds all his life suddenly wakes up and devoutly believes in the gods, does this mean he has put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?"
"No, you are changing the concept, okay?"
Mother Shen retorted:
"Putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha right away means that one has the foundation to become a Buddha, which means to reform oneself. It does not mean that one will become a Buddha right away, okay?"
"You still understand this?"
Shen Mingbao was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that her mother knew this. She couldn't help but become more worried, wondering if she would be fooled by some master one day.
"That's right, don't you see who I am!"
Mother Shen said with some pride:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's quickly decide on this house. The master said that we should be careful not to get into trouble!"
"It's okay. We've already signed the contract and paid the deposit. What are you afraid of?"
Shen Mingbao didn't care and said:
"Your house hasn't been sold yet. I don't have enough money. How can I buy a house? Just wait a few more days!"
"No, are you really going to sell my house?"
"Didn't you say you were going to sell it? And then give me the down payment?"
"I'm just talking, do you really want to sell my house?"
"Just talking?"
