Chapter 63 third quarter

There was a sound of unlocking the door, and Cheng, who was lying on the sofa in a daze, got up.The clock on the wall said nine o'clock. There were footsteps in the hallway, and the door swung open. "Sorry, I'm late." Yusuke came in in a moss-green suit, holding things in both hands.There are two paper bags in the right hand, two supermarket shopping bags in the left hand, and a black side backpack hanging on the shoulder. "Are you hungry? I'll cook right away." She put the shopping bag on the kitchen floor and went into the bedroom.Where she passed left a sweet scent of perfume.When she came out of the room a few minutes later, she had changed into home clothes, holding an apron in her hand, and walked into the kitchen while tying it on her body.

"I bought ready-made ones, I don't have to wait too long, and there are canned soups." A slightly breathless voice came from the kitchen. Cheng was reading the newspaper, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry.What exactly annoyed him, he couldn't tell himself.In theory, it should be her energetic voice. Cheng put down the newspaper, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen where there was a sound of cleaning. "You want me to eat what I bought?" "What did you say?" Xuesui said loudly, she couldn't hear the sound of the range hood, which made him even more irritable.She was about to boil water on the gas stove, and she turned her head to look at him at the kitchen door in puzzlement.

"You made me wait for so long, but you still want me to eat something that cuts corners!" Her mouth opened into an O shape, and then she turned off the range hood.The air stopped immediately, and the house fell silent. "I'm sorry, are you unhappy?" "If it's only occasionally, I have nothing to say." Cheng said, "But recently, it's been like this every day. You come home late every day and serve ready-made dishes. It's always been like this!" "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll keep you waiting for too long..." "I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't want to wait anymore. I just want to eat instant noodles. What's the difference between eating instant noodles after waiting for a long time?"

"I'm sorry. I...although there is no reason, but I've been really busy recently... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." "Business is booming, congratulations." Cheng knew that the corner of his mouth was tilted to one side in an ugly way. "Don't say that. I'm sorry, I will pay attention in the future." Xuesui put her hands on the apron and bowed her head to apologize. "I've heard this sentence many times." Cheng put his hands in his pockets and dropped the sentence. Xuesui just lowered her head and said nothing, probably because there was nothing to refute.However, whenever encountering such a scene recently, Cheng would suddenly have a feeling, wondering whether she thought that she just had to keep her head down like this and wait until the storm passed.

"It's better not to do your business," Cheng said, "I think you still can't take care of your family. You are also working hard." Xuesui didn't say anything, avoiding arguing about it.Not long after, her shoulders began to tremble slightly, and she grabbed the hem of the apron to cover her eyes with both hands, and sobbing came from under her hands. "I'm sorry," she said again, "I'm useless, I'm so useless, I'm just giving you trouble... You asked me to do what I love, and I can't give you back. I'm useless , I'm such a useless person. Cheng, maybe you shouldn't marry me." Tears made the speech intermittent, and it was also mixed with sobbing from time to time.

Hearing her series of reflective words, Cheng could no longer blame her, but felt that he was too small-minded to get angry because of a trivial matter. "Don't cry." He withdrew.Since Xuesui didn't have a word of rebuttal, she couldn't quarrel if she wanted to. Cheng returned to the sofa and spread out the newspaper.But Xuesui came to ask him: "Then..." "Thousands?" he asked back. "What about dinner...? There's no ingredients to make it." "Ah..." Cheng felt lazy and exhausted, "Forget about tonight, just eat what you bought."

"is it okay?" "Otherwise there is no other way." "Sorry, I'll prepare right away." Xuesui returned to the kitchen. Hearing the sound of the range hood running again, Cheng still had a feeling that he couldn't let go of. "Can I go to work?" Xuesui asked this question on the day of the first wedding anniversary in one month.Since he was unprepared, Cheng was stunned. Xuesui said that her friend in the clothing industry wanted to open a store independently, and asked her if she wanted to run it together.They plan to open an imported clothing store.Cheng asked her if she wanted to do it, and she said she wanted to try.

For the first time since she stopped touching stocks, her dull eyes sparkled.Seeing her like this, Cheng couldn't say anything against it.Cheng only said not to push himself too hard, and agreed to her.Xuesui clasped her fingers in front of her chest, expressing her joy speechlessly. Their store is in Nanqingshan, and Cheng has been there several times.The store is full of glass curtains, which feels gorgeous and bright. When passing by, you can see the dazzling array of imported women's clothing and accessories in the store.It was later learned that Xuesui paid for all the decoration costs of the store.

Yukisui's partner is Noriko Tamura, with a round face and body, and a commoner temperament.Just as the appearance gives the impression, he is a hard-working person.According to honest observation, their work seems to be divided in this way: Yusui is responsible for greeting the guests, while Tamura Noriko is responsible for picking up goods and settling accounts. This store is entirely based on an appointment system, that is, customers make an appointment to come to the store.In this way, they can prepare products according to the size and preferences of customers.This approach can save unnecessary commodity display space, which can be said to be very efficient.The success or failure of this business model depends entirely on their connections, but since they opened, they seem to have never lost their customers.

Cheng was a little worried about whether Xuesui would neglect housework because she was keen on running a clothing store, but there was no such phenomenon at that time.Most likely, Xuesui was also afraid that Cheng would think so. After opening the store, she worked harder than before in housework, not only would she not be perfunctory in cooking, but she would not return later than Cheng. About two months after opening the store, Xuesui was surprised again, and she asked Cheng if she would like to be the owner of the store. "Shopkeeper? Me? Why?" "The landlord urgently needed a sum of money in order to pay the inheritance tax, and asked us if we were interested in selling it."

"Do you want to buy it?" "It's not that I want to, but I think it's definitely a good deal to buy. The lot will only go up and not down in the future. The price that the landlord is asking now can be said to be a breaking price!" "What if I don't buy it?" "Then there is no other way," Xuesui sighed, "I have to buy it." "you?" "I think, given the location, the banks should be willing to lend." "You want to borrow money?" "Yes." "You want to buy it that much?" "Yes, and I think that if we don't buy it, I'm afraid there will be problems in the future. If we don't buy it, the landlord will definitely go to a housing agency. If we are unlucky, we may have to withdraw the lease." "Return the lease?" "Ask us to withdraw the lease so that we can sell the store at a higher price." Cheng was noncommittal at first, and then began to think seriously.It's not like he can't afford it.Gao Gong's family has several pieces of land in Chengcheng, and they will all be inherited by Cheng Cheng in the future, as long as they sell some of them.If the persuasion is successful, the mother should not object, because almost all the real estate held by their family is actually idle. He didn't approve of Xuesui's going to the bank for a loan, otherwise she would probably put all her thoughts on her career.Moreover, if a store is opened in her name, it will always make people feel that family and work are inseparable. "Let me think about it for two or three days." Cheng said to Xuesui, but he had already made up his mind at that time. Since the beginning of 1987, the shop in Nanqingshan has been owned by Cheng.Xuesui would regularly remit the rent into his account from the operating income. Soon, Cheng learned about Xuesui's foresight.Due to the increasing demand for office buildings in the center of Tokyo, land prices have hit sky-high prices, and it is not surprising that they have tripled or quadrupled in a short period of time.Frequently, people came to Shangcheng and asked whether the storefront and land in Nanqingshan were going to be sold.Every time he heard the other party offer a price, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the matter. At this time, he began to have a slight sense of inferiority because of Xuesui.He gradually felt that he might not be able to compare with this woman in terms of living ability, management ability, and boldness and decisiveness.He doesn't know how well she has done in her career, but what is certain is that their clothing store is thriving.She is currently planning to open a second store in Daikanyama. In contrast, what about myself?Every time I think of this, Cheng feels depressed.I don't have the courage to start a business at all, and I dare not leave the company because my personality is suitable for people to use.He didn't make good use of the property he inherited, so he could only live in an apartment purchased by his family. There is one more thing that makes him feel ashamed, and that is the current stock boom.Last year, as soon as NTT stock was listed, it immediately set off a hurricane, and the stock market seemed to be boosted by the trend, and began to soar, even to the point where all the people speculated in stocks. However, the Gaogong family has nothing to do with stocks, the reason is of course that he blamed Xuesui for this.After that, she never mentioned stocks.But when he thought about how she viewed this unprecedented stock craze, he felt uncomfortable.
