“How hard is it to find out about that small issue of yours? Tell me honestly, why do you want to go into business?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I…I. I just want to buy a house and get married soon…” Xiang Chen said shyly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xiang Chen in surprise. She had thought that Xiang Chen was only interested in Qian’e on a whim. She did not expect this kid to be serious about it!

“It’s not like Aunt and Uncle-in-law are short of money. They will definitely be able to buy you a house when you get married and also help you with the betrothal gifts. They won’t shortchange the lady. There’s really no need for you to go out and earn money,” Qiao Mei said.

“That won’t happen! My parents definitely will not agree to this marriage. I have to be self-reliant!” Xiang Chen said.

“Don’t… don’t tell me the person you like is Qian’e?” Qiao Mei probed.

Xiang Chen’s silence further confirmed Qiao Mei’s thoughts. Qian’e was almost 10 years older than Xiang Chen and her maternal family did not have a good reputation. In fact, the two families did not get along well. Coupled with what Qian’e had gone through during her previous marriage, she was no longer able to have children. This was unacceptable for most families.

If Xia Fang found out that Xiang Chen wanted to marry Qian’e, she would definitely break Xiang Chen’s legs!

Xia Fang and Qian’e had a harmonious relationship now but it was really only a relationship between an elder and a junior. If Qian’e wanted to become their familys daughter-in-law, Xia Fang would never agree to it.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“You should find someone else. You are not the person Qian’e is looking for,” Qiao Mei persuaded.

“How can that be! As long as I work hard! I’m not worried that I’m not the person she’s looking for. It’s her choice whether she likes me or not, but I still have to try my best. It’s my choice to woo her,” Xiang Chen said seriously.

Qiao Mei held her forehead helplessly. It seemed that she would not be able to dissuade Xiang Chen about this, at least not for the moment. She decided to find a chance to talk to Qian’e about this. For now, it was more important to stop Xiang Chen from doing anything reckless.

“It’s fine if you want to go into business. Tell me about what you want to do,” Qiao Mei said.

“Rlght now, I’m reselling items like simple dresses, stationery, watches and so on. 1 only deal in small items. However, I feel that cassette tapes seem more profitable. I want to try going in this direction,” Xiang Chen said.

It seemed that this kid still had some flair for doing business. Qiao Mei had also taken a fancy to the cassette tapes business previously, but it was too troublesome, She did not like to do troublesome things, so she had set it aside.

Furthermore, it was easy for things to go wrong because of the contents. Anyone could record any kind of content. No one knew if any topics would become taboo one day. If that happened, it would be hard to salvage the situation.

“This business is not easy. Think of something else. Next year, you’ll be able to sell things openly. Your current task is to continue with your studies and become a graduate student,” Qiao Mei instructed.

“Cousin-in-law, why are you asking me to study too…” Xiang Chen said dejectedly.

“Isn’t studying a good thing? I worked hard for the college entrance examination even though I’m pregnant. Why don’t you want to study? To make money, you need to amass enough knowledge. If you don’t know anything and don’t understand anything, how can you do business? Don’t tell me you just want to be a profiteer and resell second-hand goods your entire life?” Qiao Mei questioned.

“No, that’s not what I want. I want to earn big bucks, like Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin,” Xiang Chen said firmly.

“Your eldest cousin used to be a university professor, and your second cousin is also an outstanding individual. She got into the military academy as one of the top three students. Which one of them didn’t use to study hard? You must also study hard and then seize the opportunity when it comes by,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, what you say makes sense. I’ll take note of it,” Xiang Chen said after pondering for a long time.

“Study hard first. Come back next year and tell me what business you want to do. Write me a proposal. I’m still considering whether I want to invest in you. You can do any business next year and it’ll also be much easier then. It’s all a matter of making more money or less money. Go back and think about it. My requisite is for you to study hard! Do you hear me!” Qiao Mei said seriously.

Xiang Chen did not answer Qiao Mei immediately. There were many people in the family doing business now. Deng Fan, Lu Huai, Xia Wen and Xia He were all making good money, so he felt that he could just ask one of them to invest in him.

Qiao Mei immediately said, “Don’t have any crooked ideas. Those people at home are making money only because of me. If I tell them not to lend you money, they definitely won’t dare to do it. You might as well listen to me.”

Xiang Chen said dejectedly, “l promise to complete the mission…”
