Chapter 43: Parental Concerns
Hanging up the phone, Liu Nan first said to Fan Luwei: "Boss Fan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't sell this thing to you." β
After all, he had promised Fan Luwei just now, and now he regretted it, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but obviously Fan Luwei didn't blame Liu Nan.
"It's okay, it's okay, we pay attention to a profit and loss when we do business, the one with the highest price gets it, and the price from others is high, and it is understandable to sell it to others. β
Fan Luwei really has no opinion on Liu Nan to sell this painting to others, if it were him, as early as the first time the two bodyguards said two million, they would have sold it, Liu Nan could still hesitate for a long time, this has shown that Liu Nan is not the kind of person who sees money, and in his own heart, he always thinks that if Liu Nan does not sell it to the other party, but sells it to himself, he is a fool, but he doesn't know, this is still Liu Nan's determination after answering Su Yongchun's call, otherwise this painting is really likely to fall into his handsγ
"Okay, this painting belongs to your boss," Liu Nan picked up the painting on the table and handed it to one of the bodyguards.
"This is what our boss gave you. After the bodyguard took the painting, he took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to Liu Nan.
Taking it over, Liu Nan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, it turned out that this was a check, and the circles on it really brightened Liu Nan's eyes, although when he heard two million, Liu Nan was already excited, but now he has another feeling when he gets it in his hand.
"This cheque is a cheque that can be exchanged 24 hours a day, and if you are afraid of being cheated by us, we can accompany you to the bank to cash this thing now. β
"No, no, I'll just go myself. Liu Nan still believes in Su Yongchun.
"Alright then, the things are handed over to you, and we should leave too. With that, the two bodyguards left the place.
Liu Nan chatted casually with Lu Desheng and Fan Luwei for a while, and also left here, it is worth mentioning that Liu Nan's original salary of 30,000 yuan per month has become 50,000 yuan per month, it is obvious that Lu Desheng wants to sincerely keep Liu Nan in his store, for this salary, Liu Nan gladly accepted it, he is indeed worth the price now, so he did not shirk.
After leaving the antique shop, Liu Nan first went to the bank to cash the check into his bank card.
Compared with the cold faces of those bank employees every time he came to the bank, Liu Nan was much more comfortable this time, he was just in the VIP room, drank a few sips of tea, and everything was done, and those female employees looked at themselves with the same eyes as when a cat saw a mouse, and they couldn't wait to directly correct Liu Nan on the spot, which made Liu Nan really experience the pleasure of being a rich person.
Because Zhangkou is a small city, it is very rare to have such a large amount of savings as Liu Nan, he is not Liu Nan and he is very young, those female employees who are trying to get married, of course, regard Liu Nan as those rich second generations with a lot of money, as the saying goes, it is better to marry well than to marry well, who does not dream that they can have a lot of money to spend every day sitting at home.
β¦β¦
After these days of treatment, Liu Jianjun is Liu Nan's father, his broken right leg has begun to slowly turn better, the bones have been healing little by little, and he has a lot of energy, although he still can't move every day, but he will joke and chat with Liu Nan when he is fine.
Every afternoon, Liu Nan would take time to accompany him for a while, and today was no exception, as soon as he got the money from the bank, he hurried to the hospital.
In the ward, Liu Jianjun was still lying motionless on the bed, unlike usual, he looked sad today, Wang Aiqing put the peeled orange to his mouth, he didn't eat it, both of them were worried about Liu Nan's future.
Originally, they didn't need to worry about this at all, Liu Nan's future was all in the martial arts he loved, as long as he trained hard every day, and then played every game, success would come one day.
But now it's different, he's been withdrawn from the national team, and all the roads are blocked, and it's even difficult to eat a bowl of rice by relying on sanda.
As the parents who gave birth to and raised Liu Nan, they have to worry about Liu Nan's future, Liu Nan is in his twenties, and many people of the same age as him have even married and had children, and he has no education, no ability, only a skill that cannot be used in this modern city.
"Alas, what do you say Nan Nan will do in the future? In this world, there is no place for him at all, do you want to be like me, an ordinary worker who does nothing all his life?"
Everyone wants their children to live a better life than themselves, Liu Jianjun is no exception, he doesn't want to see Liu Nan's life be the same as him, but he has no way to change this status quo, he can only pretend to be very happy and talk and laugh with Liu Nan every day, because he doesn't want Liu Nan to know what he thinks in his heart, if he is given another chance to choose again, he will definitely choose not to let Liu Nan contact the Sanda industry, study honestly, and then find a stable job.
Wang Aiqing was also infected by his words, and her mood was dull, and she opened her mouth to comfort: "Is there anything wrong with being a worker like you? Why do you have to expect Nan Nan to soar to the top? When Nan Nan was young, we hoped that he would be able to make a career one day in the future, so we chose this path for Nan Nan, but now I only hope that Nan Nan can live a plain life." β
"Yes, you're right, as long as you live a plain life, any wealth and status is a passing thing, life doesn't bring death, but do you think Nan Nan can accept such a dull life?"
Liu Jianjun's worries are not unreasonable, entering the national team is a very enviable thing, living in that environment for a long time, Liu Nan has long been used to it, if he suddenly turns to a peaceful life, this is not something that anyone can accept, just imagine, that feeling is like a person who has achieved a lot of success and is admired, and suddenly becomes a beggar, such a thing is not acceptable to anyone.
"Alas, he may not be able to accept it for a while, but after a long time, he will always accept it little by little, so let's enlighten him slowly and little by little. β
"Yes, slowly enlighten, and when he gets used to it, he will accept it. β
β¦β¦
Soon after the two ended talking, Liu Nan came to the ward, Liu Jianjun and Wang Aiqing saw Liu Nan coming, and they also put away their original expressions and changed them back to the cheerful smiling face every day.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here. Liu Nan said to the two of them after entering the house, and then sat down all the time.
"Hehe, the puppy that didn't accompany you?" Liu Jianjun said.
"yes, is that little dog of yours sick, I've never seen a dog so lifeless. Wang Aiqing also said.
"Hehe, what do you say about the little tiger? What are you doing with it? That little guy is like an old man, it doesn't mean anything at all, not to mention that you are still lying in bed, and you have seen a child who left his parents alone in order to play with a dog. β
β¦β¦
It may be that he has not been with his parents for a long time since he was a child, Liu Nan now as long as he sits with them, there are always countless topics, and an hour or two of chatting passes in a hurry, and he doesn't even feel thirsty.
"I really hope your legs will get better soon, it must be very uncomfortable to lie in bed like this. β
"Hehe, yes, I'm not the same, but it's just not good, I can't help it, oh, by the way, Nan Nan, I don't know if you have any plans now?" Liu Jianjun saw that the conversation was almost over, and began to tell the things he and Wang Aiqing had discussed little by little.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Nan didn't know what his father meant.
"I mean, you're quitting the national team now, I don't know if you have any plans for the future?"
"Oh, that's it, hehe, what do I have to do, take it one step at a time. Liu Nan didn't know what Liu Jianjun meant by asking this, and thought it was an ordinary chat, so he just copeded with it.
But this is not the case in the ears of Liu Jianjun and Wang Aiqing, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes, obviously the two of them thought that Liu Nan had not come out of the shadow of being expelled from the national team, so they were not interested in the future life.
"Nan Nan, there are some things I wanted to say a long time ago, but I haven't opened my mouth......"
Seeing that his father's face was a little serious, Liu Nan knew that he was going to say something formal and important, so he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Nan Nan, you are twenty-four or five years old this year, there are some things that should be considered, originally you have been in the national team, I don't need to tell you these words, but now I have to remind you, men will one day have to start a family, but the first step to starting a family is to have a stable income, I don't know what I said, do you understand?"
"You mean you want me to find a job?" asked Liu Nan.
"Yes, a man always has to have a job that can be used to support his family, I know you are still immersed in the depression of being withdrawn from the national team, but you will have to face it one day, I think you should think about it earlier. β
"Well, what is this? Why am I still depressed?"
Liu Nan was depressed, he could still understand the previous words, the general meaning was that his father wanted him to find a job, but the latter didn't understand, immersed in depression? Liu Nan is not depressed at all now.
In the past few days, he has gone from a poor boy to a millionaire, how could Liu Nan be depressed? Then now he is even a little glad that he can quit the national team, otherwise God knows if he will get his ability, but even if he does, in such a bad environment as the national team, he will not find his ability.
Immediately, Liu Nan spoke: "Dad, I don't understand what you said later, but I have a job now, and it's very good!"
"What? Do you have a job?" This time it was Liu Jianjun and Wang Aiqing's turn to be surprised!
