Chapter 155 Persuasion
In the evening, Li Changle finally met his father and saw that Li Zhenning came home after eight o'clock with a tired body. In order to wait for him, the food prepared by Lu Chengying was cold.
"Dad, I'm back, let's eat." Li Changle saw that Li Zhenning seemed to have a little more gray hair than when he came home last time, and his face was not so good. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He couldn't help himself no matter what he said this time.
My father continues to do this job.
"Changle, Yani, you are all back." Although Li Zhenning looked tired, he smiled happily when he saw that his children were back. After all, their family had not had dinner together for more than half a year.
"Dad, why do you look so tired?" Although Li Yani was heartless, she felt sour when she saw that her father's hair was much grayer than when he left home to go to school. How long had it been since he left home to go to school?
He was crying all the time.
"Hey, I'm just a little tired after getting off work. It's not a big deal. Your dad is still in good health. He will have no problem supporting you through college."
Li Zhenning didn't care and said cheerfully.
"I don't need you to support me anymore. I can make money on my own now. I can earn several thousand a month." At this point, Li Yani suddenly raised her head and said, as proud as a peacock.
"Really, don't delay your studies. Studying is the most important thing. If you can't graduate for this little money, then I'll be angry."
Li Zhenning said in a deep voice that the school Li Yani was admitted to was better than that of Li Changle. When he was in his hometown, he even invited the neighbors to hold a college entrance party together, which was considered the pride of their family.
Because of this, Li Zhenning has high expectations for Li Yani. It would be embarrassing if Li Yani could not even get her diploma by then. She would not be able to live up to her own reputation, and she might still be gossiped about when she returns to her hometown in the future.
"Oh, don't worry, Dad, I just use my spare time to write some novels. I didn't expect that I could actually make money."
"If you love reading, then study hard. Why don't you write novels if you have nothing to do? It's not like my father can't support you." Hearing that Li Yani earned money by writing novels, she felt relieved, but she didn't feel so supportive.
"Then my brother is writing a novel now and has no job. Why can he do it but I can't?"
Li Yani was a little unconvinced. She wanted to support herself independently. She would never forget the look of her father when he came home just now. She was determined not to take money from the family anymore.
Li Changle, who was drinking soup, heard Li Yani pour the soup on him and choked immediately.
"Cough cough cough."
Touching his chest to calm down his breath, Li Changle said speechlessly: "Tell me what I want to do."
"Didn't you say before that you have a job? This is your job?"
Li Zhenning and Lu Chengying both looked at Li Changle. Before, they thought that Li Changle had found a job related to his major after graduation, but they didn't expect that he was actually a freelancer.
"Yes, yes..." Li Changle replied awkwardly.
"Eh...don't you know? I thought my brother had told you." Li Yani realized that she seemed to have caused trouble for Li Changle and stuck out her tongue.
"But don't worry, my brother can make money now by writing novels. His novels are super popular. I think he has made millions." Li Yani thought she could make up for it, so she quickly told her parents about it.
A wave of water.
"There are so many!" Li Zhenning and Lu Chengying were both surprised. They are the most ordinary working-class people. Their concept is that only stable jobs and stable incomes are the best.
They never expected that Li Changle could earn millions in just over half a year, which had a big impact on their worldview.
Li Changle saw the shock on his parents' faces and sighed immediately. He knew this would happen, and he never told them because he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept it.
Or maybe the family has such an income and is afraid that their parents will lose it, so they just send tens of thousands of dollars to their families every month to prevent their parents from being unable to accept it for a while.
Li Yani innocently looked at Li Changle and her parents, as if she had said the wrong thing again? Well, she simply stopped talking and threw the blame to Li Changle, letting Li Changle fix the mess.
"Um, Dad, Mom, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it..." Li Changle planned to explain it bravely.
But Li Zhenning waved his hand, "It's okay, I know, you did the right thing."
Li Changle was happy to see Li Zhenning being so open-minded. Thinking of Li Zhenning's work, he simply struck while the iron was hot:
"Dad, our family is not short of money now. Why don't you stop doing that job and resign tomorrow? It doesn't matter even if you don't lose your salary. If your job is gone, it will be gone. If you lose your health, it will be really bad."
It’s gone.”
Seeing that Li Zhenning still looked troubled, Li Yani quickly followed: "Dad, don't do that job, it's too tiring. The salary is not much, and when you get tired, the money you need to pay for medical treatment will be more than what you earn."
The salary is high.”
"You kid, what are you talking about!" Lu Chengying gave Li Yani a slap in the face. She didn't know how to speak, and she didn't know who she learned it from.
Li Yani felt pain and touched her head, but she still pouted unconvinced and said: "What I said is right. I should have resigned from this rubbish job long ago."
"Dad, if you are worried that you will have nothing to do after you quit your job, let's go and invest in a shop. You can see what you want to do, and I will invest for you."
Li Changle could see that Li Zhenning didn't want to sit around at home doing nothing, so he quickly added another sentence.
Li Zhenning was already excited when he heard this, but what he was thinking about was that if he opened a shop by himself, the annual rent of the shop would be quite high. If the business did not make money, how much money would he lose in a year.
"Well, it's hard to do business now. Think about it again, just one year's rent is a lot."
"What's the rent? I'll buy you a shop and treat it as an investment. Shops usually appreciate in value. You try to do some business on your own first. If you can't lose money, just resell the product. You won't lose money.
"
Li Changle now has a lot of money, and seeing that Li Zhenning has started to have ideas, he plans to buy a shop for his parents to try.
"Then, you have to think about what to do, think about it again, think about it again."
Seeing that Li Zhenning still didn't agree to this matter in the end, he sighed and prepared to stay at home for a few more days, trying to arrange this matter before returning to Yangcheng.
In the evening, Lu Chengying complained to Li Zhenning in the room, "The children are already talking about this, why are you still so hesitant? I don't think you want that rubbish job of yours."
Li Zhenning said dullly, "Hey, what do you know? How can it be so simple to do business? What should I do if I lose money? It's all my children's money, earned through hard work. How dare I mess around."
"Didn't Changle say that buying a shop is an investment? Now this kid is not short of money. Why are you panicking? How much money can you make from your job in a month? Seven or eight thousand is as high as the sky. You really need to start your own business.
If not, maybe we can support Changle when he plans to buy a house in Yangcheng."
Lu Chengying also couldn't stand her husband's job. He worked so hard every day to earn such a small amount of money. It was fine when he was young, but he is no longer young anymore. How can a person in his forties or fifties think of doing more than a dozen jobs a day like young people?
I work part-time, and I'm really worried that my body will collapse one day.
"I know, let's go to bed first. We'll talk about this later." Li Zhenning said so, but when he saw the three people inside trying to persuade him, he actually made a plan in his heart.
The next day, Li Changle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Zhenning was finally planning to resign. He had died suddenly due to overtime work in his previous life, and he didn't want his father to suffer the same fate.
Li Changle went to go through the resignation procedures with Li Zhenning that day. He didn't even ask for next month's salary and just handed over the matter and left. In the afternoon, he went downstairs in his community to see if there were any suitable shops for transfer.
Li Changle spent three days at home helping his parents buy a shop near the community. After completing all the procedures, he began to discuss what he planned to do.
After much deliberation, he finally chose to join a convenience store because it was stable, easy and easy to make money. Li Changle didn't have much interference in what his parents wanted to do, he just asked them not to be so tired.
