“The wallet contains hundred dollars. At that time, hundred dollars considered thousands in our current era. Your grandfather found that your dad is an honest guy and decided to hire him. From there on, your dad slowly promoted. From general worker to assistant supervisor and then supervisor. Mom met him a few times when your dad came over to meet grandfather for work discussion.” Said Lai Man Yuan while leading Xiao Tong to the nearest shelter and continued her story.
“Slowly, love is blossoming between us. We secretly went on a date few times. Mom always prayed for Saturday night to reach sooner as it was our usual dating night. A silly thought of mine.” Grinned Li Man Yuan.
“Somehow, your grandfather found out about our relationship and forbid mom from going out with your dad again. Mom engaged at that time, and it was inappropriate to break off the engagement and married a guy with no background. Mom spent a lot of time persuading your grandfather. Finally, your grandfather decided to give a chance to your dad, however, with two conditions. The condition was to get an MBA and prove to grandfather that your dad could grow the company and gain profits by ten folds within five years,” Said Lai Man Yuan.
Lai Man Yuan asked Xiao Tong, “What do you think? Is your dad able to fulfill these two conditions?”
“Of course! Or else I won’t be here.” Xiao Tong said with confidence.
“Haha. You are right!” said Lai Man Yuan while gently patting Xiao Tong’s head.
“Your dad is a capable person. Getting an MBA was not an issue. However, to grow a company and gain profit ten-fold wasn’t an easy task for him. To marry mom, your dad had no choice but to fulfill these conditions. Thus, mom decided to pursue a study in the business field to assist him. It turns out he managed to meet the conditions without mom’s assistance.” Said Lai Man Yuan proudly.
“Actually, your grandfather set the conditions to hone your dad’s business skills and ensure that nobody had the intention to bring down your dad and our family business. With his achievement and stands in the business field, mom’s fiancé would have no say and wouldn’t dare to harm us if grandfather decided to break the engagement. Your grandfather is a smart person. He strategized and plan the next move for the future.” Said Lai Man Yuan.
“Mom, dad is incredible! Must be from power of love that could make dad go this far.” Xiao Tong grinned and joked with Lai Man Yuan.
