Chapter 990: It’s difficult to go from luxury to frugality
The so-called transition from frugality to luxury is easy, but from luxury to frugality is difficult. It only took a few years, but then I had to support a college student, especially after the first expansion of enrollment, the tuition fees increased sharply. , this year’s semester is more than 1,000 yuan, plus living expenses of 300 yuan a month, 5,000 yuan will be gone in a year.
As a dual-income family like mine, to support a college student, we have to pay the salary of one person for two people.
Fall downstairs to Jiang Qiao and his wife, and get more than half.
So now supporting a college student is actually not only a matter for the family, but also a matter for the family’s relatives, friends, and sometimes even neighbors to participate in.
In addition, he has just been promoted to the Manzhou Municipal Bureau, and there are many places to spend money. Although it is said that it is a promotion, his wife has also been transferred to the Municipal Environmental Supervision, but in fact, he is really a smooth-skinned person.
And from what Tingting said, Elbow’s income is quite high.
At least two songs at a time, fifty-one is one hundred, one week is three hundred, one month is one thousand and two...
This is already more than the combined salary of the couple. All high.
The education method of the old Zhou family is very simple, which is eight words - don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
To put it simply, it is something that parents cannot do and will never ask their children to do it.
Zhou Yuanjiang has always believed that leading by example is one of the important reasons for the success of the Zhou family's education method.
Now that this kid is older, his ability to make money from whatever he does seems to have surpassed his own. It would be against his will to stop him.
Why is this kid’s fortune so good?
What Zhou Yuanjiang didn't know was that he thought that buying this mansion was the limit of Zhou Zhi's financial resources. In fact, if Zhou Zhi really exposed his secrets to him, he would really be frightened.
This is the reason why Zhou Zhi did not dare to show Zhou Yuanjiang the calligraphy and painting collection of Sui Huaxuan. Kun Can's "Entering the Mountain" serves as the central hall, and Zhang Zhidong's couplets serve as the background. The current layout of the lobby is already what Zhou Yuanjiang imagined. The peak of strength.
Professor Lu also saw Zhang Zhidong’s couplet before.
The Chunqiu Biography of Yuan Kai, Zhaoming Wenxuanlou.
When I first saw this couple when I got here, I didn’t feel anything at all. Now that I look at it...
This kid has been secretly showing off!
"Elbow..." Only now did Zhou Yuanjiang remember one thing: "Has your mother paid you tuition and living expenses?"
Just thinking about it shows that you have a conscience. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but complain, of course. Don't dare to go out He said: "Don't worry, Dad, I can take care of myself."
"If you can be self-reliant, Dad will support you." Having no money to say harsh words, Zhou Yuanjiang had no choice but to compromise: "Although it is Jinli Group nightclub, out You still have to be careful and go back to school after singing. Also, you and Tingting can’t delay your studies.”
“Tingting passed 80 on this English test.” As a parent of children from the High School Affiliated to Sichuan Sound, she She doesn't care much about ordinary test scores. Guan Tingting has Zhou Zhou as her backer, and her accomplishments in history, geography, and literature are quite good. With professional courses such as music theory, music reading, and Western music appreciation, her scores are enough.
It is even more than enough to cope with the examination range of the Youth Song Competition. Now my daughter’s English score, which is the most worrying thing, has also improved, so she is very happy: "Thanks to my elbow, come on, come on, eat the food quickly..."< br>
"This really has nothing to do with me." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I guess Tingting has been listening to English song tapes recently? Is it Tingting?" "But before you came here, I didn't see her listening to it." Guan Ma was still very happy to pick up the wine glass: "I would like to pay tribute to Professor Lu first. I have admired him for a long time." You are famous. I am very impressed by you. You have told us many of your glorious achievements!"
Professor Lu picked up the cup and said with a smile: "I don't think so! As long as he is a bad old man who is overly serious, I and Jiuzi can be regarded as You can’t understand without fighting.”
“How can you be too serious? It’s rigorous and meticulous!” Zhou Zhi quickly helped: “We will file a lawsuit to create a new standard for anti-theft security doors, and this standard has already been adopted in Europe and America. are widely adopted, it’s not in vain It takes a lot of hard work.”
“It’s really not easy.” Professor Lu and Guan Ma said: “It’s hard for a Chinese company, especially a Chinese private company, to achieve such results. Quite remarkable.”
"We would also like to thank Professor Lu and the professors from the School of Finance for their great help, which helped us avoid many traps and troubles." Sister Xiaojuan'er smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to respect Professor Lu." One glass."
"Okay," Zhou Zhi picked up the glass: "Professor Lu, I respect you. , I have always protected the businesses of my cousins, my aunts and my sister-in-law. Only when you are watching do they dare to let go and do whatever they want!"
"Hahaha..." Professor Lu After taking two bites of the food, he also picked up the cup and said, "I was causing trouble for you before, and now I'm causing trouble for Director Zhou. Thank you for not giving up, and I'll give it to you." I'm really embarrassed about the salary."
"No, that's because our bureau's work is flawed. The professor is helping us, so we can't thank you enough." Now it was dad's turn to help: "And. The standards for security door locks are the same. This time we can come up with the concept of 'geographical indication products', which is also a global It is expected that when the method is revised and completed, Director Lu will report it to his superiors. "
The meaning is very clear. If this method can be approved by the General Administration and promoted nationwide, it will be completely completed. It can be called an innovative idea and a major achievement, so the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can be said to have not suffered at all.
Otherwise, Lu Hongzhuan's attitude wouldn't be so good.
"Then I still have some minor skills?" Professor Lu asked.
"This is a great achievement!" Dad smiled and said: "Hurry up, elbow."
Professor Lu said with a smile: "In this case, I have a request, and I will drink it after elbow agrees. .”
“Professor, you are polite, just tell me what you want.”
"That "Guanzi" of yours." Professor Lu said: "I know that the school is preparing a project called "Treatise on Economics in Ancient China". The pre-Qin part of it is basically "Kaogong Ji" and "Book of Shang Jun". "Fuguoce" and "Guanzi" are the ones."
"The "Guanzi" we have prepared is far less beautiful than the photocopies of the Republic of China edition that you have collected, so I am going to go back and report it to the school and use you. This one replaces the one we found now for photocopying and reprinting. "So I need to ask for your permission first. If you agree, I will tell the school."
"That's no problem, the professor is helping me advertise." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "As long as the books are in good condition, I have no objection."
"That's great, let's go together!" "Professor Lu was very happy.
"But why does the University of Finance and Economics publish such photocopies?" Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, Zhonghua Book Company has already had printed versions of these books, right?"
"The main reason is that there are so many wealthy alumni now. "Get up." Professor Lu said: "Putting such books in the CEO's office can not only explain one's professional background, but also explain oneself. Your own cultural quality can also show your economic strength, which is better than the golden toad carrying copper coins on his back and the brave man holding silver coins in his mouth, right?” Can the household bosses make some differences?”
