After Qiao Qiao arrived in the capital, she opened a hotpot restaurant that she had dreamed of. She thought that with her hot-bloodedness, she would definitely reach the peak of her new life.
In the end, it only took three months for the hotpot restaurant to close. She was not discouraged. She thought that her expectations for reaching the peak of her life were too high and she encountered a bump. She comforted herself that it was fine and stood up where she fell, so she lowered her expectations a little.
After that, she changed her money-making strategy and started investing.
Every time before investing, she would put in a lot of effort to analyze the risks of this investment. If the investment was a movie, she would go to Li Xiwu in advance to sound her out, such as how high the industry’s evaluation of this movie was.
Li Xiwu had always answered Qiao Qiao’s questions. Every time Qiao Qiao asked, Li Xiwu would carefully analyze the market for investing in movies for Qiao Qiao and assess all aspects. She would even give examples of movies with the same theme and which were easier to enter the competition segment of international film festivals.
Of course, it was just an example. It didn’t mean that this movie would make a steady profit as long as Qiao Qiao invested.
However, Qiao Qiao was bold. After analyzing it, she invested immediately. And in the end, without exception, she lost. The movie failed, and it was difficult to even recover the losses from the box office, let alone enter an international film festival.
Qiao Qiao was still not discouraged. What she did not lack the least was confidence. She would not admit defeat even if she had to fight to the end. Hence, she continued to invest in new movies. She did not leave the television drama behind. She invested in the drama that was the adaptation of the most popular novel.
In the end, she lost money time and time again. After that, she lost several movies and television dramas. She was numb from the losses.
Qiao Qiao’s mind collapsed. In the beginning, she could treat it as testing the waters. After all, it was not so easy to earn money in the capital. She had to take something one step at a time. However, after figuring out the way, she still invested steadily. She had never seen the money return when it went out. She really had no choice but to believe in metaphysics!
It was too strange.
She suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when she came to the capital alone, she had also gone bankrupt. After three years, she had not done anything.
Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but guess. Could it really be that she and the capital were incompatible?
At night, Qiao Qiao returned home with a dejected expression. By then, Shao Jingmo had already finished cooking. The last soup was about to be served. He was wearing casual clothes and an apron. He stood in front of the stove, his hands busy. Hearing Qiao Qiao come back, he raised his voice. “Wash your hands first and prepare to eat immediately.”
“Oh, got it.” Qiao Qiao threw her bag and car keys on the cabinet at the entrance and shuffled in. The moment she opened the door, she smelled the fragrance of food. She walked closer to the dining table and saw that it was indeed all her favorites.
In the past three years, Shao Jingmo had controlled her appetite too accurately. He was simply a perfect husband.
Still…
When she thought about how she could not do anything and would lose money no matter what she invested, she felt embarrassed to face Shao
Jingmo. However, she couldn’t not tell him. She would feel better if she said it. Besides, Shao Jingmo was the best at enlightening her.
She walked around and headed for the kitchen.
“What soup are you making tonight?” She leaned in the doorway, grinning.
Shao Jingmo turned around and looked at her with a gentle expression. “A pigs belly stewed with chicken.”
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. “No wonder it smells so good.”
Shao Jingmo put down the spoon and waved at her. “Come here.”
Qiao Qiao immediately came to Shao Jingmo’s side. Just as she approached, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. This action was especially gentle and delicate.
Qiao Qiao knew that this was a comforting hug. Although she had just returned and had not said anything, she felt that he must already know that she had returned in defeat again. “Little Uncle, I think I have to recognize a fact,” Qiao Qiao stammered.
Shao Jingmo said, “Speak.”
Qiao Qiao would only feel at ease if she stayed in his arms. She snuggled into his arms. “l realized that I don’t seem to have the ability to support this family.”
Shao Jingmo chuckled. “You lost your investment again?”
Qiao Qiao said, “Yes!”
If it were anyone else’s husband, when faced with his wife’s repeated investments and losses, he would either not be able to help but say a few words or remind his wife not to do these things if she was not suitable to invest and earn money.
Anyway, Qiao Qiao felt that she was wasting Shao Jingmo’s patience, until there was nothing left. But in fact, not only did Shao Jingmo not say anything about her, but he also did not remind her or say some serious words. He always said, “I’ll transfer 100 million yuan to you tomorrow, you could invest in another film project..”
