"Zhi Qiang has secured the new district project from the county!" Second Uncle messaged in the family group, "He invested thirty million!"
Soon after, Zhi Qiang himself shared photos in the group: a brand new Mercedes-Benz and a recently purchased three-story villa.
"Dear uncles and aunts, thanks to everyone's support over the years, my business has been going quite well," Zhi Qiang's tone in the group was much more polite than before.
I stared at my phone screen, speechless for a long time. The cousin who used to sit quietly in the corner while eating was now driving a Mercedes?
"Honey, did you see Zhi Qiang's message?" Li Xuemei walked over with some fruit, her tone filled with a kind of envy I had never heard before. "Look how capable Zhi Qiang is now!"
"What capability? Isn’t it just good luck?" I replied defiantly.
"Good luck? The fact that he can take on such a big project shows he has talent!" Li Xuemei looked at me, her eyes reflecting a complex emotion. "Look at him; he didn't study much, yet he's still making money now."
Her words pierced my heart like a knife. I decided I couldn't just sit back and do nothing; I had to start my own business.
Using the family's savings, I moved to the provincial capital to make my mark. I opened an educational training institution called "Wen Yuan Education," specializing in tutoring high school students.
"Honey, see? This is where you can really showcase your skills!" Li Xuemei was very supportive at the time. "You have an education; teaching students will definitely be no problem!"
In the first month of opening, I was full of confidence. But soon, the harsh reality showed its teeth.
Large training institutions were advertising everywhere, while my small workshop couldn't even afford a decent sign. In the first month, I only enrolled five students; by the second month, three had left, and by the third month, I couldn't even pay the rent.
"Teacher Lin, it's not that you're teaching poorly; we just feel that your conditions are too basic..." one parent said as they left with their child.
Six months later, the training institution closed down. Not only had I lost all my savings, but I also owed the landlord three months' rent.
