“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!

“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...”New novel chapters are published on
