Chapter 62
Qian Chengfeng was born in a very ordinary family. His father Qian Yonghua was a security guard, and his mother Ning Hui was laid off in the early years and has been working as a nanny. Qian Chengfeng knew from a very young age that his father earned less money every month, while his mother earned more as a nanny. But his father still had the final say in everything in the family. Moreover, compared to his mother who worked as a "servant" for others, his father wore a uniform every day, sat in the security booth, and had a group of buddies who treated him as a brother, which made him much more impressive.
Qian Chengfeng's favorite thing is to sit on his father's lap and listen to him and other security uncles drinking, playing finger-guessing games and chatting. They also like to tease Qian Chengfeng and ask him, "What do you plan to do when you grow up?"
Qian Chengfeng shouted: I want to be a big boss! I want to make a lot of money, live in a big villa, and drive a BMW!
Everyone laughed and said that this child would be a great one in the future. Qian Yonghua was also very proud and felt that he had taught his child to be very motivated.
To be fair, Qian Yonghua was not a bad husband. He worked honestly, maybe gambled a little, maybe visited prostitutes occasionally, but he only spent very little money and never did anything weird. He didn't beat Ning Hui, but he didn't do any housework at home and asked Ning Hui to hand over all the money. In his words, a man would not cook or wash clothes after working all day. He was the head of the family, the backbone of the family.
Ning Hui is a gentle, hardworking and down-to-earth person. She worked very hard to take orders, working three hours a day, cooking breakfast and lunch in the school cafeteria, and taking lunch and dinner from other people's homes, bringing her family more than 6,000 yuan a month. Even so, she had to do housework all day on the rare day off every week, which made her back ache and she was getting older.
Ning Hui had thought about divorce, but she couldn't bear to leave her son. Qian Yonghua was a security guard for a large company and had worked there for several years. It was a stable job. Unlike her, who was a temporary worker. She had heard from another nanny that in similar situations, the child would most likely be awarded to the father.
And every time Ning Hui was busy all day and lay in bed in a daze, she would think about what was wrong with Qian Yonghua? It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. He just made less money, was a little lazy, liked to brag, and talked big all day long. Although he spent some of the money she earned, most of it was spent on the children's education and this family. And she thought that at this age, why bother with divorce? Finding another one might be worse.
She just... just felt bored with these days, year after year.
Because Ning Hui was busy with work, he ate all three meals at his employer's home and was not at home during the day. On the contrary, Qian Yonghua had been working as a security guard for so many years and had become an old hand. His work was not busy and he could bring Qian Chengfeng to work, so Qian Chengfeng was brought up by Qian Yonghua.
Qian Chengfeng learned to steal cards at the mahjong table when he was very young. When he was caught, the men not only did not scold him, but laughed and said he was very capable, so he was very proud of himself; some owners should have rice and oil after recharging the annual property fee, but the owner was not at home and did not know about it, so Qian Yonghua secretly took the things away. "Everyone does this." Qian Yonghua said. Qian Chengfeng nodded and rushed to help his father carry a bucket of oil; Qian Yonghua boasted in front of the beautiful female owners, and worked and ran errands very diligently. So Qian Chengfeng also learned to pay attention to beautiful girls on the road and in school, and divided them into different levels in his mind...
Unfortunately, Qian Chengfeng did not live up to his father's expectation of him becoming a successful person. His grades were mediocre since he was young, and he failed to get into the high school in Xiangcheng. Qian Yonghua found a way to send him to the high school in his hometown. The gap from Xiangcheng to the county town greatly stimulated Qian Chengfeng. He didn't want to stay in this small county town at all. He looked down on everyone here equally and thought that everyone was unsophisticated. There was no decent shopping mall or subway here, not even an office building.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise. During those three years, Qian Chengfeng worked very hard to escape this broken place. Finally, he was admitted to a junior college and returned to Xiangcheng.
The person Qian Chengfeng admired the most since he was a child was his uncle, Qian Yonghua's cousin. According to Qian Yonghua, he and that promising cousin grew up together wearing open-crotch pants. At that time, the cousin was still hanging out with him. But later, the cousin's family left their hometown and moved to BJ. Later, the cousin grew up, was admitted to a prestigious university, started a business and opened a company. Now the assets have already reached tens of billions, and there are thousands of employees. He is a "big shot" in the BJ business circle.
When Qian Yonghua was bragging about these things at the dinner table, someone asked maliciously, "Why have I never seen your boss's younger brother give you a hand?"
Qian Yonghua said, "What's his is his, and what's mine is mine. I'm not starving, I earn my living with my own hands, so I can't ask for it. Besides, although we're not together now, we've never lost contact. Every Chinese New Year, he gives red envelopes to my parents. If anything happens, my cousin will definitely help me."
At first, Qian Chengfeng was very envious and had imagined that this uncle boss would see him one day and admire him immediately, treat him like his own son, take him to BJ to train him personally, or give him a large sum of money as capital for his business when he grows up. Later, when Qian Chengfeng grew up and became sensible, he suspected that his father might just be bragging and there was no such relative at all.
However, when Qian Chengfeng was in the second grade of junior high school, this cousin really came.
That year, my cousin went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He passed by Xiangcheng and invited his family to dinner, and of course, other relatives in Xiangcheng. For the first time in his life, Qian Chengfeng entered the magnificent five-star Jiangjing Hotel and saw his cousin's family sitting in a Rolls-Royce and arriving at the hotel lobby. He saw the doorman running over attentively to open the door for his cousin. He saw that besides his family, his cousin also had an assistant and three nannies at home, all of whom were brought with him. Some took care of the elderly at the dinner table, and some took care of the children.
He also ate king crabs and lobsters as long as arms, which were only seen on TV...
That night was like a dream for the family of three. Before leaving, the cousin came over and gave Qian Chengfeng a red envelope. Although the cousin only said a few words to their family, Qian Yonghua's face was as red as pig liver. After returning home, Qian Chengfeng opened the red envelope and found a full 5,000 yuan. He was stunned. Although the red envelope was immediately taken away by his father, leaving him only 300 yuan. But the psychological shock caused to Qian Chengfeng was still fresh in his memory even many years later.
From that day on, Qian Chengfeng really set a goal in his heart: he wanted to make money, a lot of money, and he must become a boss! He wanted to live a different life from his parents, and let his parents live a rich life! Especially his mother, Qian Chengfeng saw all the hard work she had done over the years. In the future, he didn't want his mother to serve others anymore, and he wanted to hire a nanny to serve his mother.
