Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 71_1

The two indulged in a grand vision of their future wealth, discussing how they would shop till they drop, just to stick it to Zhao Aoran and his ilk.

But soon, Fan Xiaofei remembered something of great importance, "Starting a business requires capital."

"You know that over the years, I’ve had to take some money back, my mom needs money, and I have to provide living expenses."

"And for your part, I’ve given money as well."

Starting a business does require capital, and even though Fan Xiaofei had some money, more money was not necessarily better for business.

Wang Nan’s heart skipped a beat. Was he expecting her to put in some money too? It’s not like Wang Nan didn’t have money.

Being frugal these past few years, she had saved up a little over two hundred, and now the thought of parting with it really pained her.

After all, this was the money she had scrimped and saved—it was her greatest reliance, much stronger than so-called blood relatives and lovers.

Even if Fan Xiaofei took this money to buy stock to make more money, Wang Nan couldn’t bear to part with it.

In her opinion, wouldn’t Fan Xiaofei still give her money to spend if he made a profit?

If Fan Xiaofei made money, wouldn’t he let his wife spend it?

Wouldn’t he provide for the Fan family? He still had his mother and his siblings to support, after all.

Wang Nan truly detested Fan Xiaofei’s mother and siblings, feeling that they looked down on her and despised her every day.

They could get money from Fan Xiaofei without having to lend any or worry about not getting their principal back.

So why should she put in any money? She shouldn’t have to, but should simply enjoy the rich life with Fan Xiaofei once he had money.

At this moment, Wang Nan completely forgot one thing: she and Fan Xiaofei’s wife were different—as his family’s provider, he had obligations to them.

She was the woman who had to stay in the shadows, and who knew how many women there would be in the future to try to replace her?

Right now, she didn’t think about all that, she just felt it was unfair to ask her for money.

Looking at Wang Nan, who insisted she had no money, Fan Xiaofei didn’t say much, for he couldn’t bring himself to force her to contribute financially.

But he had made up his mind—it was Wang Nan’s prerogative not to contribute, but whether he would give her money to spend once he’d earned it, that was his prerogative.

Anyway, he had decided that even if he gave Wang Nan money to spend, he wouldn’t give much, just casually hand out a little would be enough.

This type of woman could only live well; don’t expect her to endure hardship with you.

He couldn’t help but remember the time he had gone to the farm, and she went to sift manure because of some trivial incident. During those days, Wang Nan acted as if she hadn’t even seen him.

"That’s right, you do spend money liberally," Fan Xiaofei confirmed.

Being accused of spending money lavishly? Wang Nan was genuinely upset by that label, but she couldn’t deny it now.

Otherwise, she had no answer if asked where the money had gone if she hadn’t spent it lavishly.

Lamenting her past failure to voice her opinion and defend herself, she now felt irritated.

But the present her was feeling all kinds of relief, thankful that she’d managed to protect her money.

Unable to borrow money, Fan Xiaofei pondered deeply on the way back. He had originally planned to quit his job and start a business right away.

Now he had changed his mind; he couldn’t quit. Without substantial capital, he was uncertain about how well the business would do.

After returning, Fan Xiaofei started reaching out to people, including discussing business matters with his wife.

Miss Zhu hadn’t expected Fan Xiaofei to still harbor such ideas. If it were before, she would have been sarcastic in every possible way.

But now, the Fan Family’s days are hard, and although the Zhu Family hasn’t completely collapsed, it’s just a matter of time.

Choosing a new path is something she has been considering all this time, "I can put in the money, we’ll be partners."

All those who once fawned over her had disappeared, including the little men who used to sweet-talk her.

During these days, she thought a lot and increasingly felt that having money was important.

Partnership? To be honest, Fan Xiaofei didn’t want to partner up, "I can pay you interest."

If he partnered with her, wouldn’t she be the boss? Deep down, Fan Xiaofei was reluctant.

"It’s fine if you disagree, I can do it on my own." Fan Xiaofei’s wife was sure that he had no money and wouldn’t oppose her to the end.

Just as she thought, Fan Xiaofei didn’t have any money, and regardless of how many ideas he had in his mind, he couldn’t persist.

Most importantly, the only willing to lend him money was his own wife. After he came back, he looked for his parents to discuss starting a business.

Ever since Father Fan was rehabilitated, they had received some compensation money, but he could only work in some retirement department.

Fan Xiaofei thought since the Fan Family had already fallen so low, they might as well take a different path, and starting a business could be a good approach.

But his parents disagreed, even saying it was their burial fund and telling Fan Xiaofei not to set his sights on it.

Fan Xiaofei definitely wasn’t content; if his siblings asked for money, no matter the amount, they got it without a second word—even if they squandered it on frivolous things.

But when he wanted to start a business, he faced such an attitude. Could Fan Xiaofei be happy?

Definitely not, but what could he do? It was his parents’ money, and they had the right to spend it how they wanted and on whom they wanted.

But when he wanted to do business, which was a serious matter, it was bad enough that they didn’t agree, but they even scolded him terribly.

"Alright, let’s work together." One doesn’t know how good his own wife is until there’s a comparison.

And so, Fan Xiaofei and his wife began their business venture, heading south together to dabble in various business endeavors.

Fan Xiaofei and his wife initially just wanted to dip their toes in to see how things were, but unexpectedly their business turned out to be booming.

No matter how much stock they brought in, they could sell it all; they were so excited and proud, thinking that making money was too easy.

However, after meeting a person who had been in business for a long time and hearing that two or three years earlier, profits were higher and goods sold faster, their regret couldn’t be overstated.

The couple regretted things while still tirelessly hustling with their stock, and as for their jobs, they took extended sick leaves with no hesitation.

Anyway, they both worked in the archives, and taking a long leave didn’t cause any problems. Although they could resign, according to Fan Xiaofei’s wife, that would mean paying for their medical expenses and having no pension when they got old.

Fan Xiaofei thought it over and agreed. Even though the job wasn’t great and had no prospects, at least it secured a spot for them and gave them a chance to annoy their superiors.

Busy with getting stock and making sales, Fan Xiaofei and his wife had no time to think about anything else but trying to stock up and make as much money as possible.

Wang Nan noticed that after Fan Xiaofei went back, he never came to find her again, and she was slightly upset, but she was also busy.

Transferred to a new unit, she had to work hard at fitting in and fulfilling the tasks given to her by her superiors.

Also, there was a college student courting her who took good care of her, providing food and drinks for her.

She was touched that he remembered everything she said and brought up, crystal clear.

She enjoyed the process very much, but she would definitely not marry him, as his family’s financial situation was just average and simply not a good match for her.

She still remembered that Fan Xiaofei was going to start a business and once he made a fortune and became a big boss, she was determined to be Mrs. Fan.
