After Gu Lei's death, Feng Xiaoqin has been planning for her future life.
Relying on the gu family's help to get by is obviously unrealistic. She couldn't stand Gu Qingyu's lofty face, and reached out to the Gu family for money, even for the little tiger, she couldn't lower her head.
Moreover, even if she accepted it with a thick skin, it would not be a long-term solution. For Feng Xiaoqin, who is accustomed to thinking about everything in advance, this can only be the last retreat when there is no way out.
So, how to find a way out on your own, but also the kind of way out once and for all, this is the most urgent idea in Feng Xiaoqin's heart.
However, she knew very well that she had no capital and no skills, and it was not easy to talk on her own.
So, she locked her eyes on the body of The Great Household Zhan Xiang.
Using all the resources available around her is a skill that Feng Xiaoqin has been using freely for many years.
Feng Xiaoqin in the original work did not go out to deliver takeaway, and this kind of work of takeaway could not satisfy her ambition at all. Shortly after Gu Lei's death, she began to do business with Zhan Xiang and expressed her willingness to offer advice and help manage.
Shrewd as Feng Xiaoqin, everything she does will not be for no reason. The reason why she encouraged Zhan Xiang to invest in business hid her plan of "one arrow and three eagles".
Best outcome - becoming a "hostess"
People who know Zhan Xiang know that he is a "big family".
In Shanghai, where he was short of money, he relied on the momentum and unique vision of his youth to build more than a dozen houses. Since then, he has relied on rent collection and lived a comfortable life like "retirement".
Thousands of dollars of red wine, charter flights to Antarctica, and gifts to Gu Qingyu are all calculated in tens of thousands.
Such an exhibition actually entered Feng Xiaoqin's eyes very early.
You know, Feng Xiaoqin, who did not meet Gu Lei, once had a thought about The Shi Boss who opened a foot therapy shop in the community. Even if Boss Shi is greasy and lustful, people are still a little unreliable, but they can't stand him with conditions.
However, Zhan Xiang, who regarded himself as the "Diamond King Old Fifth", had been single-mindedly throwing himself on Gu Qingyu's body for so many years, and there was no one else in his eyes. Even if Feng Xiaoqin had the heart, she didn't have a chance. But this did not prevent her from getting Zhan Xiang in a good position, not only Gu Lei was introduced to her by Zhan Xiang, but even the work of her sister Feng Xixi Bank was also helped by Zhan Xiang.
Therefore, after Feng Xiaoqin lost her husband, the first thing she thought of was Zhan Xiang.
In Feng Xiaoqin's eyes, Zhan Xiang is one of the few good people in the pile of rich people who have both love, a sense of justice and a sense of righteousness. Find a way out of him, even if it does not work, it will definitely not suffer losses.
So, she tried everything she could to persuade Zhan Xiang to open a "private nursing home" called Not Late.
Since the opening of "Not Too Late", Feng Xiaoqin looks like a "boss lady". Almost all the daily work, including recruitment, is almost the responsibility of Feng Xiaoqin, and only when it comes to big expenses, Zhan Xiang symbolically makes some suggestions.
Becoming the "boss lady" is the result that Feng Xiaoqin wants to see most.
Her thoughts, sister Feng Xixi and Old Lady Zhang (Feng Xiaoqin's forgotten friendship) can be seen clearly. Feng Xiqian felt that Feng Xiaoqin was only one step away from the boss lady, and when Mrs. Zhang matched them in front of Zhan Xiang, Feng Xiaoqin simply said:
"Uncle, have you heard this saying - a female employee who doesn't want to be a boss lady is not a good employee."
To tell the truth, whether it is from personality or economic strength, Zhan Xiang is indeed the best choice among the men that Feng Xiaoqin can contact. Feng Xiaoqin, who wants to stay in Shanghai and live a good life, looks at Zhan Xiang is a reasonable thing.
For her, if she can really be with Zhan Xiang, then the second half of her life will be completely worry-free. And the younger sister Feng Xiqian and the "illegitimate son" Feng Danian can also use Zhan Xiang's economic strength to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai.
Incidentally, "revenge" Gu Qingyu
Feng Xiaoqin's second purpose was to disgust and even retaliate against Gu Qingyu.
Feng Xiaoqin knows that Zhan Xiang has loved Gu Qingyu for so many years, and such a deep emotion cannot be changed in a short period of time. It is not an easy task to become a boss lady.
After all, marriage is such a thing, forced to come, people do not move, she really can't help.
However, this did not affect her "revenge" against Gu Qingyu.
Whether it is in the original work or in the TV series, Feng Xiaoqin hates Gu Qingyu.
From the beginning of her marriage to Gu Lei, Gu Qingyu intervened in her marriage with Gu Lei in a lofty and inviolable posture. In her opinion, if there was no Gu Qingyu, she would not have lived so cautiously in the Gu family; if it were not for Gu Qingyu, perhaps Gu Lei would not have died tragically.
It was Gu Qingyu who ruined the "safest" opportunity for her foothold in Shanghai. In the original book, it is written:
Feng Xiaoqin came to Shanghai before she was twenty years old, looking for opportunities. A wide variety of opportunities. It may not be all grasped, but at least after trying, you will not be upset. Gu Lei is also one of her opportunities. The most reliable opportunity. Same insurance as buying a house. ”
In Feng Xiaoqin's view, if Gu Lei had not died unexpectedly, she would not have needed to find a way out for herself again. Even if life in the Gu family is not so smooth, as long as Gu Shihong and Mrs. Gu die, the house and tickets will be her son's, so she has long been prepared for forbearance.
Therefore, she resented Gu Qingyu in her heart, and her 8 years of hidden tolerance were all in vain at the moment of Gu Lei's death.
What made Feng Xiaoqin most angry was that Gu Qingyu had more than once said her right and wrong in front of Zhan Xiang, disrupting her plan to "take down" Zhan Xiang.
At that time, the "not too late" business began to flourish, and the gossip about her wanting to become the "boss lady" was almost universally known. And Gu Qingyu once tested Zhan Xiang's attitude:
"If you really get along with her, it means that you are an ordinary man."
For Gu Qingyu, although she does not love Zhan Xiang, this does not mean that she is willing to accept Zhan Xiang to fall in love with others, especially Feng Xiaoqin, who she despises extremely much.
In order to further prevent the possibility of Feng Xiaoqin and Zhan Xiang, Gu Qingyu immediately told Zhan Xiang about Feng Xiaoqin's opening of a house with a customer when she was doing insurance sales (Gu Lei told Gu Qingyu, but there was no conclusive evidence).
These words that Gu Qingyu said to Zhan Xiang happened to be heard by Feng Xiaoqin. At this time, Feng Xiaoqin's hatred and resentment for Gu Qingyu went to a higher level.
And this also strengthened Feng Xiaoqin's determination to insert a foot between Zhan Xiang and Gu Qingyu.
In her opinion, Gu Qingyu was so anxious to complain to Zhan Xiang about his former "black material", which was enough to prove that Gu Qingyu did not want her to really happen with Zhan Xiang. Even if Zhan Xiang was not interested in her, Gu Qingyu would definitely be uncomfortable with her existence. It can make Gu Qingyu uncomfortable, and Feng Xiaoqin is naturally happy to see it.
In addition, Feng Xiaoqin knew that Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan had divorced at that time, and gu Qingyu was not allowed to use Zhan Xiang as a supporter. Now he inserted a foot, became a worry-free food and clothing in the future, did not achieve disgusting death Gu Qingyu, how to see her will not suffer losses.
The worst of the "worst" outcomes – there is a way out for yourself
Of course, Feng Xiaoqin also prepared for the worst, that is, she failed to become the "boss lady", and Gu Qingyu and Zhan Xiang also came together.
If she really reached that step, her work in "not too late" was likely to be affected, after all, with Zhan Xiang's feelings for Gu Qingyu, once Gu Qingyu proposed to let her leave "not too late", Zhan Xiang could hardly refuse, at that time, she had to find a way again.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she fully provoked the operation and management of "not too late", making it difficult for "not too late" to leave her. When the business situation was getting better and better, she made a request to Zhan Xiang:
"Uncle, I really want to do 'not too late'. I thought, I think..."
Zhan Xiang understood that Feng Xiaoqin did not say the last words, so he asked:
"Do you know how much upfront investment is?" Not to underestimate you, you can't pay. ”
Feng Xiaoqin wanted to put "not too late" down to herself, she knew that Zhan Xiang had never wanted to make money on the "not too late" project, so she had the opportunity to make "not too late" her own. She then said to Zhan Xiang:
"Or in this way, I pay the rent, and then give you a commission every month according to the revenue." Uncle Ye didn't want to be Xu Wenqiang, these are even good protection fees. ”
Although Zhan Xiang did not directly agree at that time, he knew in his heart that "not too late" could get to today, indeed inseparable from Feng Xiaoqin, and Feng Xiaoqin was really careful about "not late".
In the end, Zhan Xiang still accepted Feng Xiaoqin's request and handed over the "not too late" to her.
In this way, Feng Xiaoqin was almost an "empty glove white wolf" and became the boss of "not too late" without spending a penny. Since then, he has completely found a good way out for himself.
Throughout the original work, Feng Xiaoqin encouraged Zhan Xiang to open "not too late", no matter what the result, she stood in an invincible position. The best result is to win zhanxiang economic freedom through continuous contact. The worst-case scenario is a job or even an industry that can be self-sufficient. During the period, you can also take the nausea under Gu Qingyu.
In the original work, the most difficult aspect of this three-eagle plan is how to move the exhibition and open a private nursing home with little investment. For others, this is simply impossible, but for Feng Xiaoqin, it is confident.
Clever means
In the original work, Feng Xiaoqin used the means of "first suppressing and then promoting" plus "spoiling" to persuade Zhan Xiang to open a "private nursing home" in the community.
At that time, Zhan Xiang was being held by Boss Shi to lend money. Although he was moved, he hesitated in boss Shi's personality and risks. It's not that Zhan Xiang is short of money, but that he is too idle and wants to find something to do.
Feng Xiaoqin found Zhan Xiang at this moment. She first asked unceremoniously:
"Uncle, is it interesting to sit on the ground and collect rent?" Lend it to others to do it, it is better to do it yourself. ”
Looking at the somewhat confused Zhan Xiang, Feng Xiaoqin continued:
"Otherwise, I'll hold you a dozen houses and mix until I'm old." You are a Shanghainese, a landlord and a local tycoon. You will give birth to a son in the future, that is, the stupid son of the landlord's family, do nothing, rent the house to outsiders, and you will count the money. Anyway, there will be groups of outsiders who will come over, and they will not be able to fall short. ”
Feng Xiaoqin's words were satirizing Zhan Xiang for not knowing anything but collecting rent.
It seems harsh, but it really hits the nail on the head. In Zhan Xiang's heart, he also thinks that sitting on the ground for a lifetime to collect rent is too small, has no technical content, and is often ridiculed as an "upstart".
Feng Xiaoqin had already penetrated Zhan Xiang's mind thoroughly, and she was sure that Zhan Xiang would not be angry because she had said a few extreme words, but it would be easier to accept her next words.
When Zhan Xiang asked her what she thought, Feng Xiaoqin threw out her own suggestion.
She began by analyzing the business, age and needs of permanent residents around the community, and proposed to develop an industry that meets the needs of the elderly , "private nursing homes". Like kindergartens, they can be cared for during the day or stayed for a long time.
Looking at the somewhat moving exhibition, Feng Xiaoqin added:
"The key is that Uncle Grandpa has the capital and can afford to lose." If you have money and leisure, you should play. ”
Subsequently, Feng Xiaoqin sneered again: "It's not a high hat, people are completely seeking truth from facts." ”
In this way, Zhan Xiang followed Feng Xiaoqin's advice, rented a two-story house at the back of the community, and let Feng Xiaoqin act as a "steward" and started a "private nursing home".
Feng Xiaoqin is fully responsible for management and operation, and Zhan Xiang is only responsible for paying and collecting money.
I have to say that Feng Xiaoqin's means are indeed clever.
She felt through Zhan Xiang's mind that she had always felt that "collecting rents and nests", and she also knew that Zhan Xiang had always wanted to prove to Gu Qingyu that she was not vulgar. The investment in the nursing home is almost a piece of cake for Zhan Xiang, but the significance is extraordinary, which can prove that he is not a common man who only recognizes money with a copper smell.
Feng Xiaoqin grasped the psychology of Zhan Xiang and tore an opening for the investment "not too late". But that alone wasn't enough, she needed to prove to Zhan Xiang that this was not a whim, no brainstorming advice.
Therefore, she did a lot of work around the community in the early stage, and with reasonable and well-founded investigations and data, she successfully made Zhan Xiang take her suggestions seriously.
In addition, Feng Xiaoqin was sure that Zhan Xiang was a good person rather than a businessman, sympathetic and willing to help others, especially a poor woman like her who was "widowed". Moreover, Gu Lei was introduced to her by Zhan Xiang, so Zhan Xiang could not really sit idly by and ignore her.
She knew this from the very beginning, so instead of going to boss Shi, who was interested in her and was obsessed with making money, she directly found Zhan Xiang.
Of course, Feng Xiaoqin has her advantages, she is not a mercenary, there is no bottom line at all, she has her kind side. Once a fire broke out "not too late", she desperately rushed into the fire, just to grab out Mrs. Zhang's notepad. When Zhan Xiang asked her why she was like this, she replied:
"The old lady has less than two months left, and some words, which she may not be able to say when she is alive, are written on paper. Burned, there is no more. Notepad was her soul. ”
It was at that time that Zhan Xiang had a different understanding and feeling of Feng Xiaoqin, which made him decide to hand over "not too late" to Feng Xiaoqin. It was also that time that Zhan Xiang was moved by Feng Xiaoqin, but he did not want to admit it at that time.
There is a sentence in "Bear Town":
"One of the most complicated things about good guys and bad guys is that the vast majority of us can play the role of both good guys and bad guys."
For the Gu family, it may not be a good daughter-in-law and a good wife. But for Mrs. Zhang and others, Feng Xiaoqin can really be described as a good person.
Perhaps this is why Leo Tolstoy once said, "The most common mistake we make is to judge others lightly as good or bad, and to be stupid as wise." People are constantly flowing and changing like rivers, and people do not exist in the same appearance every day. There are possibilities for man, fools can become wise, evil people can become good people, and vice versa. ”
