Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 92
Grandpa Jiang was an old man in his sixties and was not suitable for selling clothes. She didn’t have that much time to spend her energy in the store.
Selling food was even less good. With Grandpa Jiang’s skills, if he really sold food, he would probably lose even his pants.
Originally, she wanted to open a store selling roasted seeds and nuts or a snack store for Grandpa Jiang.
But if the roasted seeds and nuts were sold entirely wholesale, the profit would be very low. After all, the proprietress of other stores fried and sold the roasted seeds and nuts themselves, making small profits but quick turnover, so it was difficult to compete with them.
As for snack stores, there were not many others on these two streets. There were seven or eight small stores alone.
Jiang Ning thought that if there were channels, it would be better to wholesale some shoes and socks and sell them in the store. The prices wouldn’t be too expensive, and they could just do a small business with nearby students.
The problem was that she had to have such a reliable purchasing channel that she could trust and have them deliver the goods on time after she pays.
Wang Yong did have an elder in his family who opened a factory in Guangzhou, but his uncle opened a clothing factory.
He said, “Let me ask. Are you in a hurry?”
“There’s no rush.” Jiang Ning told Wang Yong that her grandfather’s work would not end until the end of the year. “There are still three or four months.”
She didn’t know when her grandfather’s job would be counted as one year, December or New Year’s Eve. According to their local practice, it would probably be counted as one year only on New Year’s Eve. If so, then there would be nearly four months left.
The matter was not difficult for Wang Yong, but it was just a matter of making a few more calls to ask. As for having the goods shipped over there, as long as there was money, it would not be a problem.
The author under him asked for help. What could he do? Of course, he would help her.
After Wang Yong promised to help her pay attention to and inquire about the supply of goods, Jiang Ning finally had one of her worries solved and concentrated on writing short stories.
The last time she wrote for the story fair, it was not accepted. After revising the manuscript and sending it, the manuscript fee came. Jiang Ning spent another three days writing two short stories for Readers and Youth Digest, and also wrote a 6,000-word novel for Zhiyin.
The manuscript fee paid to her by Zhiyin had always been fifty per thousand words. It had neither increased or decreased. In fact, it was normal. Just like Wuxia, it went from twenty per thousand words to forty per thousand words, and got one hundred. It was extremely rare for such rapid and frequent increases to occur.
Because she had to write about the Song Dynasty and write short stories for several magazines, Jiang Ning suddenly became even busier. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be working harder, which seemed to confirm the rumors outside.
The entire 610 room was studying like crazy.
Especially He Xiaofang who ranked last in the class in the monthly math test.
She came last in the math test and the math teacher read out her name and score in front of the whole class, which made her particularly depressed and sad. She was in adolescence and was at the age when she developed self-esteem. The math teacher said it in front of everyone, making her unable to raise her head for several days. Every day she followed Jiang Ning, she felt inferior. She no longer had the courage to hold Jiang Ning’s arm.
It was Jiang Ning who realized something was wrong with her state and went to hold her hand. She burst into tears, and was led forward by Jiang Ning.
“Ning Ning, am I so stupid that I can’t understand math at all?” She fell into an inferiority complex and couldn’t get out of it.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Being admitted to No. 1 High School means that you are already smarter than most people. If you are called stupid, what will the students from No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 schools be called?”
“I’m really stupid. It takes me an hour or two hours to solve a question that others can solve in ten minutes.” He Xiaofang really felt that she was not smart and that she got into No. 1 High School only through hard work. But after entering No. 1 High school, it was even more difficult. Even hard work and diligence could not change the gap. Especially after studying together with Jiang Ning and Xu Xiuli at close range, the feeling became more obvious.
“But do you know that diligence and hard work are the rarest talents in a person.” She said calmly and looked very serious, “I have met many smart people, but those who can really persist and work hard are very few. Those who succeed in the end are those who persevere and work hard for a goal all year round.”
“And you have this talent.”
He Xiaofang had tears. She looked at Jiang Ning in a daze and burst out laughing, “You’re teasing me again. Diligence and hard work are not talent. Everyone works so hard, especially you.”
“Yes, especially me.” Jiang Ning’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Am I not a good example here? My high school entrance examination score was lower than yours. I guess I got into No. 1 High School with the lowest score in the whole grade. I’m guessing my test scores were not ideal either. Everyone says I work hard. You see, doesn’t hard work pay off?”
“But you are very smart,” He Xiaofang said, “I am very stupid.”
Jiang Ning had been said to be smart by more than one person. After her position became higher, Jiang Ning even had the idea of writing an autobiographical novel based on her, because she felt that her growth experience and promotion experience were too dramatic.
A fool in everyone’s eyes, a person with low EQ, low IQ, and not good at words, how could their official career be so smooth?
Jiang Ning raised her chin and looked into her dark and moist eyes, “Xiaofang, you just have a wrong understanding of yourself. You should really look in the mirror to see how beautiful you are, how outstanding you are, and how diligent you are. Simplicity, kindness, sincerity, do you know how rare and precious these are? And you have all these precious qualities. What you have to do is not to blame yourself, but to see the advantages in you and amplify them.”
She said, “You know Xiaofang, no one dislikes a kind and sincere person.”
He Xiaofang didn’t understand. These were the most common traits that everyone should have, and they were not even considered advantages, but she still remembered Jiang Ning’s words.
Jiang Ning took out the test paper and handed it to her, “Come, didn’t you say you didn’t do well in mathematics? If there is anything you don’t understand, let’s sort it out bit by bit.”
