I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Is This the Life You Want?

Suizi had long anticipated that Shen Liangyin wouldn’t be easy to deal with, so she wasn’t surprised by her maneuver.

"Director Yu, so do you plan on accepting it or not?" Suizi asked.

"I plan to -- follow my wife’s approach."

"Me?"

"My wife is the kind of person who won’t be grateful even if she gets something good, what’s with your look, do you disagree?"

Suizi was angry, after he said that, she seemed to be so sinister!

"Let me remind you, isn’t your catchphrase: I give you two choices, 1, such and such, 2, such and such. Then after the other party has chosen, you apply 1 and 2 to them in turns, the reason being, you didn’t say that if you use 1 you won’t use 2."

Suizi was embarrassed, well, this really was her style, she was indeed a tiny bit sinister at times, cough cough.

"I’m not a good person, who told her that if I accept her favor I should be grateful? These are debts she owes our factory!"

Yu Jingting said so righteously.

Suizi nodded in agreement.

Once you don’t consider yourself a good person, you have no restrictions on your actions. That’s also good.

"You handle her business as you see fit. Close your eyes, I have a gift for you."

Yu Jingting closed his eyes, feeling a hint of anticipation.

He had performed so well, showing great self-control against the outside temptress, his wife was going to reward him.

Maybe she was undressing right now?

Just imagining her soon sitting on his lap, Yu Jingting was feeling a rush of blood.

"Come, give me your hand~"

Yu Jingting stretched out his hands like two claws, ready to enjoy the feel of her touch, huh?

He didn’t get the wonderful touching sensation he had expected. His hand was held by Suizi, his palm upturned, then a stack of paper fell on his hand.

The more beautiful the dream, the crueller the destruction of it.

Yu Jingting opened his eyes and saw a stack of handwritten exam questions, his mind full of question marks.

"This is the cheat sheet I prepared for you for the exam, don’t show it to anyone, it will be troublesome if someone sees it."

"...You’re not really making me go to college, are you? What’s the point? Isn’t this superfluous?"

"Jingting, you don’t like jadeite, do you?"

"I’m not my father, why would I like that stuff? What are you talking about school for when you bring up jadeite?"

As if she didn’t hear his questioning, Suizi continued asking:

"Then why did you listen to me and bring back so many raw gemstones from the Border? The money we spent on gemstones is considered a fortune in many people’s eyes."

When Yu Shuisheng came back, he brought some legendary quality gemstones, but before that, Suizi had already instructed Yu Jingting to stockpile them.

"Isn’t it just because you said that these things would rise in value in the future, that we should store more while we can afford it?"

Although Yu Jingting didn’t know if these things could really rise in value, he always listened to Suizi’s words.

If Suizi told him to stockpile, he would stockpile.

"Studying is the same, if you can now be admitted to a good university, why not? In two years, when you feel the importance of knowledge, it will be too late to regret. Good universities will be out of your reach."

"You make it sound like I can be admitted now..."

Yu Jingting flipped through the hefty packet Suizi had written, it was as thick as half a brick, if thrown at someone, it could possibly result in concussion.

"You can, trust me, Jingting. We’re in a special era, it’s not long since college admission exams were resumed, there has been no reform yet, and the content of the exams is the simplest."

"You call this simple?!" Yu Jingting waved the stuff in his hand, he had crammed for some time in night school, but these were still too difficult for him.

So many formulas, like hieroglyphs, he might recognize the formulas, but the formulas definitely didn’t recognize him.

"Believe me, this is already the simplest."

Suizi was not lying.

In the following decades, the difficulty of college entrance exams would increase. The current exam questions, when seen in the future, could be completed more than half by middle school students.

This was because college entrance exams had just been restored, educational resources were relatively scarce, and there was a severe shortage of talent.

"With my understanding of you, it wouldn’t be difficult to thoroughly understand this cheat sheet in four months. I can’t guarantee that you’ll be admitted to the same university as me, but you’ll definitely have a school to go."

"Is that piece of education diploma so important to you?" Yu Jingting was completely unable to understand why Suizi was so insistent on this.

They’re not short of money at home now, and he’s even become the factory director.

Even if she planned to go to Beijing to study, he could find something to do, it’s more fun to make money, isn’t it?

"That piece of education diploma is the least important thing. For you in the future, it might just be a piece of paper."

"Then you’re asking me to squat in college for several years for a piece of paper?"

For Jingting, going to school was like going to prison.

"A degree is just a piece of paper, but the thinking you learn in university will affect you for the rest of your life. Many people complain after leaving school that they’ve forgotten what they learned inside, feeling that their studies were in vain. But the shift in mindset that education brings is beneficial for life. The path you’ll take in the future is long, and is bound to be more brilliant than others’. I just want to make your brilliant path a little wider."

Studying is like eating, what we ate yesterday is already expelled from the body as nutrients, but who can say that the meal was eaten in vain?

The reason why Suizi wanted to drag Yu Jingting to college was to lay the foundation for the stability of their future family.

This step, it’s not for the next twenty years, but for the stability of their family business twenty years later, that they can still sail steadily and not be eliminated by the times, until their children are cultivated and successfully handed over.

It sounds like a few words, but it’s hardly easy to do.

The reform and opening up were bound to put some people ahead, but when the wave of the era came, how many of the initially rich people were washed up on the beach. The survival of the fittest leaves only the chosen few with luck, strength, and depth.

Yu Jingting has luck and strength, what he lacks is depth, and this problem can be solved by going to school, Suizi has determined the target since she came back.

She didn’t want to fly alone, flying too high would be lonely, she wanted to pull her beloved man together, keeping the same frequency, so the future would not be painful due to lack of common language.

"In the next three years, the economy will always be between liberalization and non-liberalization, there’s no much room for individual play, you can either continue with the sneakily small trades of buying low and selling high, or keep doing as now, being a seemingly powerful factory director."

"Seemingly?" Yu Jingting caught the hidden meaning in her words.

"The bigger this factory is, the better the benefits, what you get is still a fixed salary. Shen Liangyin’s proposed plan, you guys are nearly... "

Suizi took out an abacus, calculated rapidly, and finally came up with an astonishingly high number.

"All this money belongs to the country, it has nothing to do with you. Maybe people will give you gifts, but you can’t accept them. If you accept, you’ll be making a mistake, and there are people who want to catch you doing something wrong. Jingting, is this the life you’re looking forward to?"
