Chapter 1329 1331【Mixed into wife circle】
While Xiang Nan was busy with the company's business, Gu Jia finally showed her worth in the circle of wives.
She was originally invited by Mrs. Wang to help bake pastries for the wife circle afternoon tea party hosted by her.
Later she pointed out the lack of this party. European aristocrats used low-leg tables for their afternoon tea. The high table prepared by Mrs. Wang is for the servants to drink afternoon tea.
She suggested that Mrs. Wang change the table to avoid being laughed at by other wives and make the afternoon tea party a complete success.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with Gu Jia's knowledge and taste, and praised her a few words.
Gu Jia took the opportunity to offer to help Mrs. Wang by letting her be in the C position in the wife circle.
"Mrs. Wang, I am very clear that with my wealth and income, without your support, I would not be able to enter this circle." She said with a smile, "So in order to repay you, I will follow your example and do my best in the future. Help you become the center of the wife circle."
Mrs. Wang was very satisfied when she heard it.
In terms of wealth and income, she is a well-rounded wife. But because she entered the circle late, and she was uneducated and ignorant, she always behaved badly, so she was still a marginal person.
If you have Gu Jia's assistance, your own wealth and Gu Jia's knowledge, it will be perfect.
"Okay, Gu Jia, I did not misunderstand the person." She nodded.
Gu Jia also nodded with a smile. With Mrs. Wang's permission, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the circle of wives in the future.
…
"Husband, I heard that Mrs. Yu asked her son to learn equestrianism, and I also want our son to learn equestrianism. In this way, I will have more opportunities to communicate with her. What do you think?" A few days later, Gu Jia told her Xiang Nan discussed.
"Of course not." Hearing this, Xiang Nan flatly vetoed it, "Gu Jia, you are using your son as a tool for communication. It's okay for us adults to be a tool. My son is still so young, why do you want to use him? Woolen cloth?"
It is very bad behavior to use children to discuss business. Because when Gu Jia went to talk to Mrs. Yu about business, she would definitely keep her voice low and smile all over her face.
The child's heart is very sensitive, and the child can definitely understand her humble posture. This will make him feel inferior too.
Although Xu Ziyan was not Xiang Nan's own biological son, he didn't want to hurt him like this.
"I don't use my son as a communication tool. I really want him to learn equestrianism. Equestrianism is really good. It is called [noble sport], and all the children in the wives are learning it." Gu Jia hurriedly explained.
Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this, "Equestrianism is indeed an aristocratic sport. Mrs. Yu's family has a net worth of over tens of billions, so it is understandable that they want their son to be an aristocrat.
But our family is not aristocratic, just middle-class, what kind of aristocratic movement should we learn? Isn't it slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat? Not to mention only studying for one or two years, it is useless at all. Even if our son really learns horsemanship, we don't have the money to buy him a horse.
Did you know that a British thoroughbred horse costs hundreds of thousands of pounds, more expensive than a top sports car. To train a world equestrian champion, at least a dozen thoroughbred horses must be raised.
There are thoroughbred horses, there are also racecourses, and there are also trainers... It can be said that it burns money faster than participating in F1 racing. With our family's income, can we afford it? "
Xiang Nan is not afraid of simply burning money, he will have plenty of money in the future.
The key is that he knows that unlike other sports, equestrianism has a very small range of applications. Xiang Nan has been in the wealthy circle of the United States for decades, playing golf, tennis, or fishing a lot on yachts, and never once met for horseback riding.
"What do you know? In the future, when my son applies for studying abroad, equestrian skills will be a bonus item." Gu Jia retorted, "Are we reluctant to spend money for a better future for our children?"
"There are so many extra points for studying abroad, so you don't have to learn equestrianism." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We should follow our son's interests. Interest plus hard work can make my son learn skills and have fun."
Furthermore, Xu Ziyan was born in one or three years. When he grows up and needs to study abroad, studying abroad will not be popular for a long time.
At this stage, the treatment of international students after returning to China has no advantages compared to students who graduated from domestic colleges and universities.
In another ten or twenty years, with the improvement of China's national strength and the decline of overseas countries, the so-called gold plating of overseas study will become less and less valuable. On the contrary, academic qualifications from mainland universities will become more and more popular.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about my son studying abroad.
"Then you don't let your son learn, how do you know that he is not interested in equestrianism?" Gu Jia retorted when she heard it.
"It's easy to see if your son is interested. There are many racecourses in Hujiang now, and a class costs only a few hundred yuan. Take your son to experience it first.
If he says he likes riding horses and wants to develop in this area, can’t I support him unconditionally? But if your son says he doesn't like it, don't mention it in the future. "Xiang Nan pointed out.
Gu Jia wants the best in everything. When she just let her son learn equestrianism, she didn't hesitate to sell her luxury goods, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to help her son sign up for professional equestrian courses.
But in fact, there are many equestrian clubs in China that cost several hundred yuan a day. Although not very professional, it is enough to develop hobbies.
When Gu Jia heard this, she was at a loss for words.
…
Two days later, Gu Jia took Xu Ziyan to an equestrian club in Hujiang for a few experience lessons. A class is only two hundred yuan, which can be said to be economical.
As Xiang Nan expected, Xu Ziyan had no interest in learning how to ride a horse.
"Wife, you heard me, my son is not interested in riding a horse, so don't mention this matter again in the future." Xiang Nan immediately said to Gu Jia.
Seeing this, Gu Jia had no choice but to nod.
Now that Xiang Nan's ideas are getting more and more positive, it is already difficult for her to convince him.
"But, if my son doesn't learn how to ride a horse, how can I strike up a conversation with Mrs. Yu?" Gu Jia worried again, there must be a reason to get close to people.
My son learned to ride a horse together, which is a good excuse.
"After all, I still want to use my son as a pawn." Xiang Nan complained, "Okay, I'll teach you to be a good boy, just tell Mrs. Yu that you want our son to learn how to ride a horse too.
But before you officially sign up, you want to get to know it first. In this way, you can justifiably follow Mrs. Yu to the racecourse. "
Gu Jia's eyes lit up when he heard it.
She never thought about this idea.
"Okay, I see." She nodded.
Afterwards, Gu Jia followed what Xiang Nan taught, and went to the racecourse with Mrs. Yu under the banner of understanding and learning.
Mrs. Yu did not refuse.
Gu Jia then made suggestions and helped her with the education of her stepson.
Mrs. Yu also reciprocated, agreeing to help her blow pillows, recommending Gu Jia's fireworks factory to her husband, and cooperating with her paradise.
