Chapter 154 What does your grandma talk to you about?
"Not close, half an hour drive. It's not where he lives, it's his company.
There is no place to eat within a ten-mile radius of his company, and he has already run around to all the restaurants within a half-hour drive." Wen Yulan said with a smile.
"The other road at the turn of Panjiatai Community you mentioned, is it called Jinfeng Road?" Wen Jin asked excitedly.
"Yes." Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and nodded.
"Turn another corner ahead on Jinfeng Road and you will reach the entrance to the elevated road. My place is at the third intersection of the elevated road. And there is usually no traffic jam on that road, so half an hour is more than enough." Wen Jin became more and more happy as he spoke, and he used gestures to talk to Zhao Xiaojing about the way.
"When will it open? Do you take orders?"
"Yes. It will take about a month. Painting the outside is simple, but we have to tear down the original warehouse and build a kitchen. The outside is more than 70 square meters and the kitchen is more than 30 square meters." Zhao Xiaojing said.
"It will be quick. It won't take a month. Ten days, half a month, or at most twenty days will be enough. It depends on the construction schedule of your decorator. If the construction schedule is tight, it can be completed in a week." Wen Yulan calculated and said. "Then let it air out and let the smell go. It will be ready for opening at the end of the month."
"Then I'll wait for you to open. I have more than 30 employees waiting to be fed!" Wen Jin immediately replied. "When the time is right, I'll just ask someone to go get the food."
"So this is Uncle Wen's own company!" Employee Zhao Xiaojing suddenly realized what was going on.
"So you just found out now what your grandma always talks to you about. Doesn't she always talk about where my son and daughter are, what jobs they have, and what school my grandson goes to?" Wen Jin asked puzzledly.
It seems that Zhao Xiaojing is very familiar with everyone in the family, and his mother always mentions Jingjingjingjing when she calls. Could he be wrong?
"Uh, this..." Zhao Xiaojing was choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Old Mrs. Fan really likes to chat about family matters, and she also likes to talk about her sons and daughters, work, life and everything else.
But whenever they talked about Wen Jin, Grandpa Wen would join the group chat, and then the old couple would start to complain with disgust, turning a casual chat into a criticism meeting.
They all say that he is pretentious and a fussy person, and that he is like Lin Daiyu who lives by the sea, whose heart is as thin as a needle tip but who still cares too much.
So Zhao Xiaojing knew him very well. She knew that his eyes would easily turn red, that he had a strong control over his family, and that he would cry if things didn't go his way. But she knew nothing about him, and had no idea that he was in Jiangcheng or what his job was.
"How can we talk about that all the time? The old lady has a lot of topics to talk about. You'll know when you go back and talk to her." Wen Yulan winked at Zhao Xiaojing to smooth things over. It was obvious that she knew the inside story and was joking with Wen Jin. Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
"Really? Why doesn't the old lady talk to me?" Wen Jin frowned suspiciously.
"Every time you call, does the old lady have any chance to speak? She only listens to you." Wen Yulan said lightly, and when Wen Jin heard it, he grinned.
"Your uncle Wen is amazing. He started his own company by himself, and he does something that my family doesn't understand and can't help with. This company has been open for fifteen or sixteen years now."
Wen Yulan collected the sugar water that the three people drank up, took the kettle and poured tea for the two of them, and praised Zhao Xiaojing in front of Wen Jin.
Wen Jin obviously enjoyed what he heard. He smiled with the same crow's feet as Wen Yulan, and crossed his arms as he listened to Wen Yulan praising him.
"Although your uncle Wen's media company has only 30-odd employees and is a small company, it is full of elites. The singers and bands that have emerged from them in the past decade or so, although their styles are relatively niche, they are also the best in their respective categories. The Yu Lin Ling band that has been popular on variety shows in recent years is from his company.
It’s just that Uncle Wen is relatively low-key in this regard. These singers are already niche enough, and he claims that his partner is the boss and he is only in charge of the actual decision-making behind the scenes. So appearing on TV and accepting interviews are all about another person. Uncle Wen just focuses on practical work.”
"It turns out that Uncle Wen is also a musician." Zhao Xiaojing nodded and looked at Wen Jin in surprise.
"Haha, your Uncle Wen was indeed like that when he was young. Just after entering society, he had pigtails, played bass, and talked about rock and roll every day." Wen Yulan was so happy when she talked about that scene.
"Uncle Wen took this path when he was young, quite wild." Zhao Xiaojing also laughed.
"Oh, don't mention it. What wildness? Once I'm caught by your grandma, I can't be wild anymore! A few slaps turned me back to my original form and my braids were twisted!" Wen Jin smacked his lips and frowned with a complicated smile.
"Grandma is so powerful in fighting?" Zhao Xiaojing was shocked again.
"Your grandma is easy to talk to now. She looks kind and gentle when she talks to you. But when she was young, she was very irritable and would yell at you!" Wen Jin pouted and shook his head. "Now that she's old, her temper has improved a lot, but she's still stubborn. Ask your aunt Wen how many beatings your second uncle received when he was a child?"
"Second uncle?" Zhao Xiaojing looked puzzled.
"My younger brother, your uncle Wen's older brother, is the second child in our family." Wen Yulan explained. "I am the oldest girl in the family. I have been helping with housework since I was young. I am also obedient and have basically never been spanked by your grandmother. But the second child was a bandit leader since he was young. He has the most similar personality to your grandmother and is the most stubborn. You can say that he grew up under your grandmother's stick.
As for your third uncle, he grew up watching his second uncle being beaten. Having a negative role model as an example, he became much smarter.
Your second uncle would never say a word or admit his mistake even if he was beaten to death, and the more your grandmother beat him, the angrier she became, and the harder she beat him.
When it was your third uncle's turn, your grandmother slapped him and he started to cry. Whenever I wanted to scold him or say something harsh, his eyes would turn red. Your grandmother would just let it go, so he basically never got beaten."
"Heroes are made by the times, and Third Uncle knows how to judge the situation." Zhao Xiaojing tilted her head and concluded. This time she understood the reasons for the formation of Wen Jin's character.
"Haha." Wen Jin laughed a few times after hearing what Zhao Xiaojing said, "You've been assessing the situation for decades, and you only showed your strength for once, tied your pigtails and formed a band, and you were immediately rejected by your grandmother."
"What happened next? Did grandma agree to let you continue to pursue music?" Zhao Xiaojing asked curiously.
"I didn't agree, but she didn't understand. Later, I came to Jiangcheng. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I only told her that I was working in the media industry. This is also the reason why I dared to work behind the scenes. Even the company was announced to the outside world that it was run by my partner alone.
But later on, when she got older and knew I was still in the music industry, she just rolled her eyes at me and didn’t say anything.” Wen Jin said happily.
"That was because your grandma turned a blind eye to it. When she was young, she beat your Uncle Wen and thought she had acted too aggressively. She said that your Uncle Wen had been spoiled since childhood and had never been beaten. Don't let a few slaps from her make him lose his own opinion." Wen Yulan said to Zhao Xiaojing while shaking the tea.
Wen Jin was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, turned to look at Zhao Xiaojing and changed the subject. "Jingjing, let's exchange contact information later. When you open, let me know and I'll go to your place to order food."
"Okay, I'll invite you to my place for dinner when the business opens. Bring your family along, and we'll have a lively dinner together!" Zhao Xiaojing invited.
