Gu Jia didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so powerful.
She also read Mrs. Wang's "Water Lilies", but she didn't see any flaws in it.
Unexpectedly, in her husband's eyes, it was full of loopholes, and the flaws were so obvious that she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration.
"Husband, you are so amazing." She said sincerely.
Although she had often praised Xu Huanshan before, saying that he was the backbone of the family, saying how beautiful his fireworks were, and how outstanding his talent was...but these were not sincere.
Because Xu Huanshan is nominally the pillar of the family, but in fact Gu Jia takes the decision in everything at home.
Starting a business, buying a house, my son going to school, and my father taking care of himself. Even if Xu Huanshan wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, the servants would have to ask Gu Jia before they dared to cook them for him.
Moreover, Gu Jia has never really appreciated Xu Huanshan's design. She cares more about orders and business than the artistic taste of fireworks.
Therefore, her praise of Xu Huanshan is like a parent coaxing a child to be "so good", "so obedient" and "so smart".
In essence, the comments were made in a condescending manner, and the purpose was to appease Xu Huanshan and make him more obedient and work harder.
In Gu Jia's view, Xu Huanshan has never been as mature, stable and knowledgeable as her. Therefore, she is a leader both in her family and in her career.
But today, her husband's performance really surprised her.
Not to mention his appreciation of the "Water Lilies" or his knowledge of asteroids, just his flattery of Mrs. Wang, so mellow and natural, not at all artificial or perfunctory, made Mrs. Wang so happy , kept smiling from ear to ear.
This ability to deal with others is not inferior to hers.
Today, she was originally worried that her husband would say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, and she reminded him not to talk too much and to act based on her eyes. But her husband's performance was really eye-catching, making her seem a bit redundant.
…
"By the way, hubby, look at Mrs. Wang spending so much money to buy such a fake painting. She can't even tell the difference between Monet and Van Gogh, and she can live in such a big and nice house.
No matter how hard we work, can we surpass her? Gu Jia smiled again and said, "She lived like this at the age of forty. We are thirty this year, which is not far behind her in a few years." "
When Xiang Nan heard this, he laughed.
Gu Jia's idea is so whimsical that it's not worth refuting.
Whether you can tell the difference between Monet and Van Gogh is completely different from whether you have money.
Aborigines in big cities are caught up in demolition, and a family can get a house worth tens of millions. In contrast, there are examples of top students who graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University working as security guards.
"What, am I right?" Gu Jia frowned and looked at Xiang Nandao displeased.
"Honey, you are taking it for granted. What was the business environment like ten years ago? At that time, China had just joined the WTO, the economy was booming, and the annual GDP growth was double digits.
What kind of business environment is it now? Competition is highly saturated, economic growth is slowing down, and it is very difficult to maintain an annual GDP of six. The growth rate of residents' income will naturally slow down.
Furthermore, the fireworks industry is a traditional industry. In recent years, due to environmental protection and safety considerations, this industry has been subject to increasing restrictions.
It’s not a high-tech technology, and it can still be favored by capital. If you want to become rich in ten years, it is impossible to increase your wealth tenfold or a hundredfold. Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
Their family's current assets are only about 30 million, while Mrs. Wang's net worth is at least 3 billion, a difference of two orders of magnitude. In ten years, it is really a daydream to imagine that the value of assets will increase a hundred times.
"..." Gu Jia was robbed by Xiang Nan, and her expression suddenly felt awkward.
Xiang Nan just had to put the words "Idiots Telling Dreams" on her forehead. valley
"People always have to have dreams." She defended herself.
"People should have dreams, but not fantasy." Xiang Nan nodded, "The biggest difference between dreams and fantasy is that they can be realized."
"I won't tell you anymore." Gu Jia said angrily.
In the past, no matter what she said, Xu Huanshan always echoed her. No matter what decision she made, Xu Huanshan supported it.
But now Xiang Nan is choking on every word and resisting every word. However, what he said was still reasonable, leaving her unable to refute, and she was really angry to death.
"Honey, I know you want to live a good life, and I am willing to work hard to make our family live a good life." Xiang Nan advised, "But the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. We cannot aim too high. Blindly pursuing high consumption, right?”
"Well, I understand, husband, let's work hard together." Gu Jia said dryly.
…
After returning from Mrs. Wang's house, Xiang Nan went to the IAU (International Astronomical Union) website and pretended to check the asteroid confirmation status. Then he happily told Gu Jia that among the dozen or so asteroids he had discovered, ten of them had not yet been discovered by others.
"Honey, tomorrow you will give the coordinates and images of these three asteroids to Mrs. Wang and let her son apply." Xiang Nan then printed out the coordinates and images and handed them to Gu Jiadao.
"Oh, okay." Gu Jia nodded, "Hubby, you are so awesome~"
Xiang Nan smiled.
More than ten years have passed, and there are still ten asteroids that he discovered with simple instruments that have not been discovered by others. When knowledgeable people hear this, they will know that it is extremely unreliable.
You should know that all major observatories have automatic sky survey projects, using giant telescopes to continuously take photos of various sky areas, and then computers automatically compare them with databases to eliminate known celestial objects.
Therefore, the probability of astronomers finding asteroids using astronomical telescopes cannot be said to be impossible, but it is extremely slim. However, Gu Jia is a layman and will naturally not notice anything wrong.
…
Suddenly, Gu Jia handed over the information on the three asteroids to Mrs. Wang.
After Mrs. Wang got it, she quickly wrote a letter of recommendation for Gu Jia so that Xu Ziyan could enroll in Depu Kindergarten.
"Mrs. Wang, thank you so much." Gu Jia said gratefully after receiving the recommendation letter.
"You're welcome, you help me, I'll help you." Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Gu Jia, your husband is really capable, you have to watch him carefully."
"Yes." Gu Jia smiled and nodded.
…
At the same time, Xiang Nan received Mr. Wan and his party.
"Brother Wan, welcome. It's a great honor for you to come." Xiang Nan shook hands warmly.
"It's easy to talk about." Mr. Wan nodded, "Hey, why don't you see Gu Jia?"
"She is currently busy with her son's admission to kindergarten." Xiang Nan said with a smile, cursing in his heart.
He had known that Mr. Wan had plans for Gu Jia. Now that he has just arrived, he asks his wife first, without asking anything else. It is so obvious that he is so ambitious.
If he hadn't still needed his order, Xiang Nan would have wanted to slap him in the face and let him know why the flowers were so red!
