Chapter 671: There Will Always Be a Chance
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wei Zhijian thought that Tanyue Homeware was going to develop a new business.
If Tanyue Homeware continued to develop like this, it would grow increasingly powerful.
On account of Tanyue’s advancement, Wei Zhijian followed Li Xiangrong to personally pay a new year call.
When Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo arrived at the old residence, Wei Keli’s family had just left.
They had just brushed past each other.
At this moment, Wei Keli arrived at the Tan family.
Although Xu Mingzhen was dissatisfied with Wei Keli, on account of Li Xiangrong, she didn’t say anything about Wei Keli.
She could tell Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong were only here because the Tan family was doing well.
Yes, all these years, Xu Mingzhen had also seen through Li Xiangrong’s act of pretending to be close friends with her.
Whatever it was, Li Xiangrong’s family had restrained itself and didn’t directly scheme against the Tan family just as Xu Mingjing did.
They just wanted to build a relations.h.i.+p with the Tan family after seeing that it was rising in society.
Other than that, they didn’t do anything else, much less plot against them.
Of course, perhaps they didn’t have time to plot against them yet.
No matter what, as long as they didn’t provoke them, they naturally had to treat them with courtesy.
As for sn.o.bbery.
How many people weren’t sn.o.bbish nowadays?
Not to mention that they were all businessmen. How many people weren’t sn.o.bbish in the business world?
However, it was impossible for Xu Mingzhen to be purely friends with Li Xiangrong anymore.
After welcoming Wei Keli and his family through the door, Wei Keli took a look.
“Where’s Uncle and Momo?” Wei Keli didn’t see Tan Mo’s silhouette.
“Momo’s father went to visit people for the Chinese New Year with Tan Jinqi,” explained Xu Mingzhen with a smile.
The three Tan brothers had no intention of inheriting Tanyue Homeware.
Actually, it didn’t matter if Tan Jinqi didn’t go.
It was just that Tan Wenci went by himself, it just did not look right.
Xu Mingzhen had to stay at home to receive guests, so Tan Wenci took Tan Jinqi with him.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi stayed at home to help Xu Mingzhen receive guests.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi worked as a singer-songwriter, and painter respectively.
Both of them were artists, and Tan Wenci knew neither of them liked being caught up with formal social activities.
They didn’t do business anyway, so they had no reason to go out and rub shoulders with those people.
On the other hand, even though Tan Jinqi didn’t do business, he was a director, so he had to get to know more investors.
Usually, Tan Jinqi was busy with his work, so he was always out filming.
Even if Tan Wenci had a few c.o.c.ktail parties he could take Tan Jinqi to, it was hard for Tan Jinqi to find the time.
It was the perfect opportunity to bring Tan Jinqi to get to know more people over the Chinese New Year.
In the future, they would all be potential sources of financing.
Wei Keli was stunned and asked, “What about Momo?”
“Momo went out with Zhiqian to visit people,” Xu Mingzhen said without going into detail.
As for the relations.h.i.+p between Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian…
Tomorrow, Tan Mo would go to the old residence for dinner, and Wei Keli would know about Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo.
If she brought it up now, she still had to take the trouble to explain it to Wei Keli.
Anyway, he would learn tomorrow, so she couldn’t be bothered to explain it to Wei Keli now.
Besides, this matter had nothing to do with Wei Keli.
Therefore, Xu Mingzhen didn’t say much to Wei Keli.
Wei Keli didn’t think too much about it.
In the past, Tan Mo always followed Wei Zhiqian to visit friends during the Chinese New Year.
Wei Keli still thought Tan Mo’s new year’s visit was the same as before.
He didn’t expect Tan Mo was now considered Wei Zhiqian’s fiancée by the Wei family and was taken out to mingle with the eight great clans.
Wei Keli said regretfully, “I was hoping to see Momo today.”
“The holidays are still long. There will be a chance,” Xu Mingzhen said with a smile.
Was he not going to see Momo tomorrow?
“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Momo for a long time,” Li Xiangrong said with a smile. “In the past, when Momo was young, she always came to our house. After she got older, she didn’t come as often.”
“She’s focusing on school now. In addition to her own major, she is also involved in the Department of Chinese Literature, the Department of History, and the Department of Aeros.p.a.ce Engineering. Recently, she even partic.i.p.ated in S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest and won gold medals in all five of the individual events.” When Xu Mingzhen brought it up, she clearly sounded proud.
How could Wei Keli despise Momo?
How could he feel Tan Mo was bullying Yuan Keqing?
Did he feel Tan Mo was not as good as Yuan Keqing?
What a joke!
Xu Mingzhen felt that Wei Keli was not worthy of Tan Mo at all.
Momo was so outstanding, but what about Wei Keli?
“Even though Momo learns everything quickly and knows many specialties, she is at the professional level. She has the recognition of the professors at Peking University,” Xu Mingzhen said and sighed. “But no matter how talented she is, she is a single person. How could she possibly juggle so many subjects?”
“If it were anyone else, not to mention doing so many things at the same time, even doing two of them at the same time would be shocking. After all, not a single one of Momo’s accomplishments could be attained by ordinary people. The best students were selected by the professors. There are so many people at Beijing University. How many people can get to do research with the professors?”
“Even if you can do one, you’re already an outstanding person,” Xu Mingzhen said with a smile.
Wasn’t it Wei Keli who couldn’t even do one?
“Moreover, Momo still has to do so much,” Xu Mingzhen said. “She’s usually too busy. She’s busy from morning till night at school. She has to go to several laboratories every day. Previously, when she was preparing for the mathematics compet.i.tion, the questions the students had to do were all set by her. She usually doesn’t have any time to rest. When it is the weekend, she can finally relax properly.”
Li Xiangrong thought to herself. She only said one sentence, why did Xu Mingzhen have to say so much?
Even though Xu Mingzhen was simply bragging because she was proud of Tan Mo, Li Xiangrong kept feeling Wei Keli was the complete opposite when Li Xiangrong heard it.
Compared to Tan Mo, Wei Keli looked like an idiot.
Now that Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli finally stopped harping on the subject, Xu Mingzhen stopped and diverted the topic away from Tan Mo. “Keli has been working in Nacheng for quite some time. How’s work there? Are you taking to Nacheng well?”
“It’s alright. I didn’t know anything when I went there, but I got used to it very quickly.” Wei Keli didn’t tell the truth.
He naturally didn’t want to admit defeat after hearing Xu Mingzhen say how well Tan Mo was doing.
When Wei Keli was sent to Nacheng, the people at Weifeng Company quickly realized Wei Keli was banished to Nacheng.
Since he had been banished there, he naturally couldn’t become the core of Weifeng Company. In fact, he was abandoned by the Wei family.
Of course, they knew this in their hearts, but they didn’t say this to Wei Keli out loud.
Wei Keli was still dreaming. He thought if he did well in Nacheng, he could directly enter Weifeng Company’s management after he returned.. He a.s.sumed he would be given an important position even if he wasn’t in the management.
