Chapter 1446 - 1447: The Frustrated Eldest Mistress 56
After Zhang Han got out of the car, he said, "Come to my study in a bit."
Zhang Zejun knew for sure that his dad must have noticed something.
This worried him a bit, wondering whether to say it or not.
By the time he reached the study door, he still hadn’t made a decision.
Looking at his son standing in front of him, Zhang Han couldn’t help but sigh, "You’re already in your twenties, you’ve studied abroad alone, you should have your own ideas."
"Why are you so hesitant?" Zhang Han paused, "Is it because you think about your aunt, who, at her age, is so brave."
Zhang Zejun was actually worried about one thing: if he brought it up, would Zhang Han strongly oppose it? Hearing him say this, he hesitated a bit.
"If you want to go out there and forge your own path, then go for it, but I have to say, you need to improve your skills as well."
"I don’t need to say much about your aunt’s capabilities."
"In any case, remember to think things over before doing anything."
When Zhang Han learned about Zhang Yu’s plan to go abroad, he started thinking about it. He didn’t want her going to America alone; if anything happened, they wouldn’t know what to do since they were all in Harbor City.
And bringing Zhang Zejun along would also give the boy a chance to get some good experience.
Zhang Zejun was stunned. There was no scolding, no lectures, just a few simple words agreeing to let him follow Zhang Yu abroad.
This made the young man so thrilled that he kept promising he’d take good care of Zhang Yu and not let them worry.
Zhang Han had more matters to handle, so he waved his hand to let Zhang Zejun leave first.
Leaving Zhang Han’s study, Zhang Zejun was so excited that he sang loudly right at the doorway.
Hearing his son’s singing, Zhang Han’s face turned a bit sour.
"Such a naive kid." Zhang Han hadn’t thought much about him going to America.
Then he considered that their family had a cosmetics business here in Harbor City and he should leave someone in charge here.
More importantly, watching Zhang Ji, one could say that since coming to Harbor City, the kid’s progress has been visibly remarkable.
As for Zhang Zejun, Zhang Han felt his progress wasn’t great. In that case, the best solution was to let him explore the world a bit.
Zhang Yu had the idea but hadn’t acted on it. There were no flights, and going to America wasn’t easy, of course, she had to earn enough to cover the expenses for going there.
Putting down the phone, "Your uncle called and said if I’m going to America, I should bring your brother."
She already knew that when Zhang Zejun heard about her going abroad, he was quite excited, and she guessed it would end up like this.
Previously, she thought Zhang Han would prevent it or at least not decide so quickly, making the young man put more effort first.
Zhang Han agreed, and since Zhang Zejun actively proposed to go along, of course, Zhang Yu wouldn’t object either.
Ah? Zhang Ji wasn’t sure whether to go along or not.
Now that even Zhang Zejun was going, Zhang Ji definitely didn’t want to miss out, "Mom, I want to go too."
"You should know that even if we take a quick boat, we’ll have to drift on the sea for over a month."
Zhang Yu, as the head of the company, was ready to go whenever, as long as there were no issues with her position at home or her unit.
Zhang Zejun, being the company boss, once the business was on track, didn’t need to be present every day unnecessarily.
Only poor Zhang Ji had to attend school and couldn’t take such a long leave.
"Study hard, and you’ll have your chance to spread your wings later." Zhang Yu wasn’t entirely sure herself, "I’m going there to scrape money, do you think they’ll welcome me with open arms?"
"I’ve read books and magazines from America often, but I’m still pretty much clueless about the situation over there."
"Moreover, our home still has this factory, and construction on the house at the mountain top, it’s all a lot to handle."
"Your big uncle will help keep an eye on things, but you also know sometimes he’s quite easy to fool."
Although he was her brother, Zhang Yu sometimes couldn’t hold back from criticizing.
Zhang Ji remembered Zhang Han’s sometimes idealistic ways, "Big uncle can be too idealistic sometimes."
"Exactly, that’s why our family needs to pay attention." Thanks to having such a big brother, Zhang Yu had the courage to propose a divorce.
"Your big brother will also go with me to America, so you need to keep an eye on your brother’s situation." Luckily, our big nephew is pretty assertive himself.
Zhang Yu busily prepared for America while overseeing the cosmetics business. Feng Kai, as a shareholder in the company, allocated a counter for Zhang Yu on the first floor of his mall.
Zhang Yu was prepared for a year of losses. With such good products, she couldn’t believe no one would buy them.
As for advertising in the newspaper, Zhang Yu wouldn’t miss out on that either. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very effective. In the first month, business was truly scarce, with zero takings quite often.
A few times when Zhang Yu visited the counter for inspections, she noticed salesgirls nearby casting disdainful glances at her.
While other salesgirls were just enjoying the spectacle, her own counter’s salesgirls were genuinely worried about losing their jobs, especially considering that the monthly sales income, after deducting their wages, probably didn’t even cover the rent.
Zhang Yu knew they were worried and wanted to tell them that the rent for the year was actually waived, thanks to their wealthy shareholder Feng Kai.
Zhang Yu offered some encouragement and then turned around to leave.
If it weren’t for urging them to focus and not slack off, she honestly wouldn’t bother visiting.
After finishing today’s inspection, Zhang Yu tidied up a bit before leaving.
The other salesgirls might despise Aifen’s family’s salesgirl, but they were actually envious.
You should know their own bosses didn’t have such patience. If they didn’t meet sales targets every month, they’d get long faces, and if they didn’t meet them for two consecutive months, there’d be looks telling them to get lost.
Zhang Yu’s response, besides being calm, was even more cool-headed, never scolding salesgirls but instead giving them thoughtful consolation.
Sigh, why is there such a big difference even among working people? This is occasionally what makes them feel a bit envious.
Given the choice, of course, they’d prefer their current positions. The monthly sales situation was good; the base salary plus commission was quite a nice income.
Checking the time, it was almost closing time, and the salesgirls started settling their sales figures and doing the accounts.
Aifen’s family’s salesgirl knew the usual spiel so well she was preparing to pack up since she didn’t want to listen to it again.
But before they could act, a few middle-aged women dressed like aristocrats rushed over, saying, "Is this the skincare product made by the Zhang family? The owner’s surname is Zhang."
Looking at the familiar packaging, they reconfirmed.
"Yes, our big boss’s last name is Zhang." They knew both the big boss and the second boss had the Zhang surname.
"Then it’s settled... I want..."
