It seemed like the contents of Li Yayan’s complaint really did happen. “Have you considered what kind of business you would like to be in?”
Speaking of anger, Li Yayan looked discouraged. “Not yet. There’re so many types of businesses that can be done. However, homework has to be done first if you want the business to thrive. These include market considerations, determination of market needs, and so on. I studied humanities previously. This time, I’m studying economics. But it’s so difficult. Qiao Nan, why don’t we work together and open a shop?”
In this way, her and Qiao Nan’s interests would become closer. It would even be more convenient for her to play some tricks if they were doing business and opening a shop together. By then, even if peaceful measures didn’t work, Qiao Nan would have no choice but to agree to forceful means.
It was only five million yuan, but not only was she feeling high-spirited and energized, but she also wanted to give her all. Qiao Nan was someone who could swallow all the Zhu family’s inheritance alone. She couldn’t count on Qiao Nan’s noble character and integrity. If she had something that wasn’t hers, then she shouldn’t have such pure thoughts and concepts.
Qiao Nan was looking at the shops by the side, but she was paying attention to what Li Yayan was saying. “That wouldn’t do. I’m not born to do business. If I open a shop with you, it wouldn’t be good if we make a loss.” Binding of interests. If this tactic could work, it would be very useful. If she wasn’t careful enough, the entire Zhai family would be implicated by her and harmed by Wang Yang.
“Why does this matter?” Li Yayan wanted to try to make this happen. In Li Yayan’s eyes, such a small problem wasn’t a problem at all. “I’ve said before that I don’t have much experience in doing business. However, you’re a little older than me. I’ve always wanted to call you ‘sister’. Since you’re older than me, you should have more experience than me. Why don’t we do this? I’ll fork out money and you’ll fork out efforts. If we make profits, we’ll split it equally. If we make losses, they’re all mine.”
Qiao Nan smiled. There was something Li Yayan was right about. No matter what, she was a few years older than Li Yayan. If she didn’t even have this bit of social experience, she would have long been swallowed whole by the Qiao family.
Li Yayan would fork out money while she would fork out efforts. Profits would be split into half equally while Li Yayan would cover all losses. What was the difference between this and giving her money for nothing? If she forked out efforts, her experience wasn’t any better than Li Yayan’s. How much could she contribute? Also, if they did business together, it meant that she was a shareholder. In her dream, Qiao Nan had some experience of doing business with Tian Dong. She knew that it wasn’t easy to do business together and open a shop.
As a legal representative of the company, it was also easy for problems to happen.
“Wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you? You’re studying economics but I’m not. I’m older than you. Even if I have more experience and can fork out efforts, I would feel embarrassed to take advantage of this kind of advantage, even if you’re alright with it. You also know that I have three children at home. They are less than five months old now and are inseparable from people. I’m already so busy with my studies. I’m not suited to do business. However, if you really have a need in this regard, I believe you can definitely find a more suitable business partner than me.”
Li Yayan was pretty disappointed. In the face of the Zhu family’s large sum of inheritance, Qiao Nan never wanted to give up, let alone negotiate with Wang Yang. Li Yayan thought that Qiao Nan should be someone who loved to take advantage of others. Otherwise, upon encountering such a thing, wouldn’t people generally not feel guilty and have a good chat with the person involved?
She didn’t expect Qiao Nan to not be fooled at all when she had already thrown out such a huge bait. Could it be that she already knew that there was a huge sum of money from the Zhu family and thus no longer cared about earning ‘little money’ from doing business?
“I don’t have a lot of friends in the capital. I don’t feel at ease if I cooperate with others. If you’re not willing to, then let’s forget it. Of course, if you have some thoughts one day, just let me know. We can discuss it again. Actually, I just suddenly thought of doing business as well. I don’t have any concrete plans yet. How is it easy to do business? Even if it’s a small business, careful planning has to be done first.”
“Indeed, one can’t be in a hurry when doing business.” Qiao Nan looked at the things in the shops on both sides. “However, nobody will reject earning more money. If you can’t find someone now, it doesn’t mean you can’t find someone in the future. Take it slow. Don’t rush. Oh, right. What did you want to buy? After shopping for so long, I haven’t seen you buy anything.”
Li Yayan patted her head. “I chatted with you until I forgot about serious matters. Let’s go to this shop.” Li Yayan still remembered that Qiao Nan asked the driver to tell her family that she would be late for an hour.
If she didn’t buy anything within this hour, Qiao Nan would definitely leave and she might not be willing to shop with her the next time. For the sake of a ‘next time’, Li Yayan didn’t dare to delay. She casually bought some things and considered it done. Then, she parted ways with Qiao Nan.
“Bye.” After sending Qiao Nan off, Li Yayan stood at the original spot and watched her leave. Only when the car disappeared did Li Yayan stomp her feet angrily. “Isn’t she just a junior high school student? Why is she so picky? She’s so difficult to deal with.” Among the people she had seen, Qiao Nan was the most difficult to coax.
The two of them had known each other for so long, but she didn’t even manage to treat Qiao Nan a cup of milk tea, let alone a meal.
In terms of money, Qiao Nan drew the lines very clearly and didn’t even take advantage of her one yuan. Li Yayan was really speechless. When she returned to Ping Cheng during the new year and met up with her old classmates, she was the only one who paid for all the food and drinks. If it wasn’t that they were afraid their actions would be ugly, they would really want to take away a table of food home. After all, they would be fools if they didn’t take advantage of what they could.
Li Yayan was of course unhappy to be taken advantage of. However, Li Yayan felt even more depressed that Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to take advantage of her. She wanted to tell Qiao Nan that as long as the Zhu family’s inheritance didn’t fall in her hands, it couldn’t be considered as hers.
As such, aside from being the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law now, Qiao Nan’s existence was of no value. How could Qiao Nan reject an opportunity to create wealth without even thinking about it?
If she ran into a difficult situation in the future, Qiao Nan would definitely regret her decision today.
“Mom, I’m back.” After parting ways with Li Yayan and returning to the Zhai family, Qiao Nan felt that she was coming back to life. After knowing that Li Yayan was Wang Yang’s wife, Qiao Nan felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart.
