Chapter 319
Meng Donglai couldn't help but sigh: That's right!
Women who watch this TV series will basically praise Gu Jia for being awesome, family-oriented, capable, courageous, etc.

But Meng Donglai didn't think so.

She has the ability. From the fact that she persuaded her husband to leave a big company to start her own fireworks factory and make it bigger step by step, her ability exceeds 90.00% of women.

But in the later period, she was a little swollen.

Her family's property is really nothing in Shanghai, but she wants to squeeze into the circle of wives.

Every step after entering the wife's circle is a dangerous move.

On the verge of bankruptcy, the house is mortgaged, and I have to pool money to buy a designer bag, thinking that a bag can make people look good.

It's just a TV show, it's simply not possible in reality.

And getting into the circle of wives is only for an illusory possibility. It happened that I met Mrs. Xu. It happened that Mrs. Xu bought the bracelet that she sold and she knew about it. Some are busy.

A series of coincidences allowed her to get the order from Mr. Xu's Paradise.

But what if you didn't get the list?Their family will be miserable. They will be thrown into the dust all at once, and years of hard work will be in vain.

This kind of fighting without leaving a way out for oneself is very terrifying. As long as one wrong step is taken, the whole family will collapse directly.

She wholeheartedly wanted to squeeze into the high society and create better conditions for her son, which is understandable in itself, but she always wanted to take shortcuts.

In the TV series, after she was cheated by Mrs. Li, her criticism of the wives seemed reasonable, but in the real society, few wives would hear someone who was much lower than themselves say such things to them .

And when she said this, Mrs. Xu was also there. The Xu family’s orders were almost the lifeblood of their fireworks factory. As long as Mrs. Xu said a word, their fireworks factory would have to close down, plus the money owed by the tea factory. , there is only one ending: eternal destruction.

This kind of quick-talking behavior is really very depressing.

In addition, she is too tough when it comes to training her husband.

Xu Huanshan is a young man who calls himself an artist. This kind of person has a common problem: he is lofty, but she is forced to bow his head to the cold business.

In this case, he will naturally seek another woman to fill his spiritual world, and cheating is almost a matter of course.

Of course, this is not to defend Xu Huanshan, but to explain the causal relationship inside.

……

Knowing that she was cheated, Gu Jia began to review her experience in the wife's circle during this period.

The seemingly smooth integration along the way is almost close to the C position.

She got benefits from Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu one after another, which made her a little ecstatic.

Then I accidentally heard that Mrs. Li wanted to set up a tea factory. Now that I think about it, it might not be a coincidence.

Before signing the contract, I wanted to investigate, but at a party, another wife asked Mrs. Li, saying that her friend wanted it too.

At that time, Mrs. Li said that she had agreed to Gu Jia first, and needed to wait for Gu Jia to give up and let the other wife wait for a few days.

Just "waiting for a few days" will directly speed up the process of signing the contract.

In order not to cause any mishaps, in order to win the tea factory first, he signed the contract directly without even conducting preliminary investigations.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Mrs. Li's number.

When the phone was connected, Gu Jia directly brought up the problems she had encountered, and asked Mrs. Li what was going on?

"I have provided everything I should provide, and they are all formal procedures. You didn't investigate clearly before you took over, and now you come to me to say something?" Mrs. Li's attitude on the phone changed drastically, and she was no longer as friendly as before.

"Mrs. Li, it was because I believed in you." Gu Jia wanted to play the emotional card.

"What I'm telling you is the truth. This factory is not profitable and I don't want to start it. And I didn't want to transfer it to you at first. It was you who begged me for nothing and asked me to transfer it to you." This is almost sarcastic.

But the next words made Gu Jia even more angry.

"Gu Jia, whether or not this factory should continue to operate is your business, and it has nothing to do with me, but you must call me on time for the 150 million transfer fee later, not less." Mrs. Li hung up directly after speaking. phone.

After breaking up, even the most basic politeness was ignored.

Gu Jia hung up the phone, only dazed in her mind.

At this time, the accountant came over and reported: "Sister Gu, in fact, there are only two options for us now, either continue to open the factory, or directly declare bankruptcy."

"How do you say it?" Gu Jia motioned for him to be more detailed.

"If the factory continues to operate, the organic label expiration fine will be a considerable sum, and then it will be another sum if it is put into production. If there is no two or three million yuan, it will definitely not be able to come down."

"This will inevitably require another loan from the bank, which will be very stressful, so my suggestion is that we directly declare bankruptcy and stop the loss in time. In this case, the subsequent transfer fee can also be reduced through litigation."

"What about the money you invested before?" Gu Jia asked.

The finance minister bowed his head and did not answer, but the meaning was already very clear, that is, the initial investment was fully compensated.

Upon hearing these words, the village chief who was cooperating in taking over the tea factory quickly interjected: "Boss Gu, this factory cannot be closed down. The workers have to rely on it to support their families."

Gu Jia ignored him.

I closed my eyes in pain and lay on the table, burying my head between my arms, feeling very helpless.

Xu Huanshan, who was on a business trip in Beijing, knew about this, and immediately flew to the tea farm, and it was already past midnight when he arrived.

The lights in the office were still on, but Gu Jia was still sitting in the office reading the materials, her eyes were red.

This investment failure hit her too hard.

After Xu Huanshan came in and saw her state, all the blame he felt along the way was suppressed by heartache.

He had never seen this woman who had always been strong and self-reliant suddenly become like this, which showed how much this investment failure had hurt her.

Outside the office just now, the accountant had already explained the current situation to him in detail.

"How, is there no other way? What do you think now?" Xu Huanshan knew that Gu Jia would not give up lightly, so he asked.

"It's too difficult, and it's not that there's no chance to turn around, but the risks we have to bear are too great." Gu Jia didn't dare to look at Xu Huanshan, lowering her head as if talking to herself: "It's not easy for our family to do this. The situation is that the fireworks factory mainly relies on Mrs. Xu’s amusement park for its orders, and now that Mrs. Li’s incident has happened, I can’t guarantee whether Mrs. Xu’s side will be stable.”

Gu Jia's face was full of frustration: "If you invest more money in the tea factory, you will be walking on the tip of a knife. I dare not take this risk again."

"I also consulted a few friends on the way here just now, and they said that the prospect of tea is not very optimistic." Xu Huanshan added beside him.

The opinions of the two basically reached a consensus.

Gu Jia knew that the dust had settled, and she blamed herself painfully: "Why did I sign this in the first place?"

Xu Huanshan stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't worry, it's normal for investment to fail, it's not a big deal."

It can be seen from this that although this man is a scumbag, his love for Gu Jia is genuine.

"I'm sorry." Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan and apologized for her insistence.

"Don't blame yourself. They are trying to harm us. It is impossible to guard against it. Go tell the village chief tomorrow and withdraw."

Gu Jia hugged Xu Huanshan's waist emotionally, and cried, "My husband, I'm sorry!"

The next day.

When Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan walked out of the tea factory office.

The head of the village and the director of the tea factory led the workers of the tea factory and watched eagerly at the door.

The village head begged Gu Jia to go with him to see the tea factory before making a decision.

Along the way, the village head introduced to Gu Jia that the output of the villagers was very low because they were unwilling to make fakes, but they were genuine.

The poverty of the villages along the road touched the softness in Gu Jia's heart.

The village head asked Gu Jia not to give up the tea factory. He said that everyone in the village is counting on the tea factory's income, and the children also need the tea factory's income to go to school.

Gu Jia looked very heavy all the way.

When I came to the tea factory and listened to the village head's introduction, Gu Jia found that the quality of the tea in this tea factory was really good. It was considered real organic tea, but the output was really not high, and because of the geographical location, including weeding, Most of the work such as pruning and picking needs to be done manually.

Fortunately, the labor cost in this village is not high, otherwise the labor cost will also become a burden on the factory.

Originally planned to leave today, but because of the village head's persuasion, Gu Jia and his wife did not make it in the end, so they could only stay one more night.

In the middle of the night, Gu Jia was sitting at the door of the tea factory office, not sleepy at all.

Xu Huanshan came out to accompany her.

Gu Jia began to reflect on her behavior during this period of time to him, saying that with her past personality, she would not be so impulsive and sign the contract without even inspecting it.

As an old couple, Huan Huan knew she was hesitating after hearing her say this.

If the evacuation was planned last night, it would be meaningless to say these words.

And when Gu Jia said it now, it meant that she was trying to convince herself.

And Xu Huanshan knew from the way Gu Jia looked at the children in the tea garden during the day that she actually had an idea.

My daughter-in-law knows it herself.

Once Gu Jia has made a decision, it is difficult to change, and she will not give up lightly.

"As you said before, I am used to taking shortcuts and have lost my previous rigor."

"Okay, you really don't have to blame yourself anymore. I understand what you mean. Now that you have made a decision, do it. I will be your most steadfast backer. At worst, let's mortgage the house again." Xu Huanshan called Cut off Gu Jia's self-criticism of herself.

Some time ago, because of the order from Mr. Xu’s family, the fireworks factory was profitable. Recently, the house was released from the mortgage, but it was not expected to be mortgaged to the bank again.

"Thank you husband."

In fact, Gu Jia didn't say a word.

She decided to continue this tea factory, not only because of the villagers and children in this village, but also because of her own unwillingness to admit failure like this, and unwilling to bow to Meng Donglai so quickly.

She wants to prove to Meng Dong with her ability.

Even if she, Gu Jia, falls temporarily, she can get up wherever she falls.

Back to Shanghai.

Gu Jia began to think of ways to raise funds.

The money to save the tea factory must not be able to mortgage his own house. Is Gu Jia still insane, so there is only one way, and that is to bring in investment from outside.

Gu Jia carefully planned a marketing plan and started looking for investment companies one by one.

After running for more than a week, no investor is willing to invest.

On the weekend, the exhausted Gu Jia was invited by Zhong Xiaoqin to have a party at Meng Donglai's house.

It was also Meng Donglai who cooked the knife himself, and cooked a large table of delicious dishes. The four of them, plus Xu Ziyan, a child, sat on the table and ate, talking and laughing.

But Meng Donglai easily saw Gu Jia's forced smile.

"Is the tea factory going well?" Meng Donglai asked proactively.

"It's okay." Gu Jia replied with a smile, but seeing Meng Donglai's eyes, those dark pupils that seemed to be able to see through everything, made Gu Jia's smile a little stiff.

"I've heard about it, do you need my help?" Meng Donglai asked again.

"Help? Gu Gu, are you in trouble?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

During this period of time, her self-fatigue tactics were very successful. Not only did she ignore Meng Donglai's pursuit, but she also completely lost track of her girlfriend's current situation.

"Well, the situation at the tea factory is very bad." Gu Jia briefly explained the current situation.

"Mrs. Li looks pretty nice, but I didn't expect it to be so bad." Zhong Xiaoqin was dumbfounded.

"I didn't see it before, and I thought they were all so rich, so they wouldn't cheat their friends just because of such a little money." Gu Jia said.

"My friend, since when have you been friends with them?" Meng Donglai interjected from the side.

This yin and yang sentence directly attracted two big eyes from Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni.

Gu Jia was just a little uncomfortable, because Meng Dong was right.

The relationship between her and those wives has been mutual use from the beginning.

"Yeah, I'm overthinking it." Gu Jia nodded.

The meal was almost finished, Xu Ziyan went to the living room to watch TV by himself with a bottle of fruit juice, while the four of them continued drinking and chatting.

When you come to Mengdong, drinking fruit wine has become a must.

"According to this, should I win the bet between the two of us?" Meng Donglai looked at Gu Jia and asked.

Gu Jia didn't want to admit that she wanted to discuss this issue with Meng Donglai after the tea factory was built.

But the successive encounters during this period of time made her understand that she still took it for granted.

They dug a hole with great effort, how could she be allowed to jump out so easily.

"Forget me as a loser, and I will never care about the things between you in the future." Gu Jia nodded and admitted.

Zhong Xiaoqin next to her blushed a little when she heard this, but this time she didn't react too aggressively.

During this time, Wang Manni moved out from her and moved into a luxury apartment of more than 100 square meters.

She was the only one left in the rental house, and Meng Donglai would often come over to help her tidy up and cook.

Although she usually worked overtime at the unit when he was doing this, she still felt very useful when she saw the food on the table after returning home.

"Do you know why you lost?" Meng Donglai asked.

"Donglai, that's enough, don't sprinkle salt on the wound." Zhong Xiaoqin said dissatisfied.

"It's okay." Gu Jia looked at everyone with a smile: "I have also reflected on this issue during this period."

"Tell me about it." Meng Donglai invited.

"Ziyan entered the kindergarten and got orders from the fireworks factory so smoothly, I took it for granted and took shortcuts." Gu Jia drank some wine, the topic opened up, and there were no outsiders here, so she narrated in a relaxed manner Lai: "Actually, with my personality and previous work style, I will definitely investigate in advance, and I can completely avoid this pitfall."

"Oh." Meng Donglai responded indifferently, making Gu Jia a little upset.

"There is also your problem here. You took over my dessert shop and let me get my funds in place quickly. If I didn't have this fund, I might have avoided it." Gu Jia said.

"That's not right. I made a mistake in collecting money for you." Meng Donglai pretended to be wronged and said, "And I think you still haven't figured out why you fell into the pit."

"Then why do you say?" Gu Jia asked angrily.
