Chapter 298

But no matter how much Ji Xingguo disagreed, Ji Wanmei's father couldn't stop her once she had made up her mind.

Ji Wanmei silenced her father with just one sentence in the end—

“Dad, I’m almost twenty, I’m not a child anymore. I know what I’m doing, and I’ll be careful.”

Ji Xingguo could only sigh and finally compromised with his daughter: "Alright, as long as you know your limits and it doesn't affect your studies."

Finally, Ji Xingguo asked Ji Wanmei, "Tell Dad how much you need, and Dad will go to the Post Office Bank tomorrow to wire you the money."

Ji Xingguo also knew that opening a shop in the provincial capital of East China, especially in a prime location near a school where every inch of land is precious, would definitely require an investment that would be no less than that of a small shop in Pingquan County.

Since it's something his daughter wants to do, what can a father do if he can't object?

We can only support it.

He only has one precious daughter, and he can't bear to see her suffer any injustice.

Since she had already made up her mind, and he couldn't persuade her otherwise, he would just have to pay for it.

Ji Wanmei said on the other end of the phone, "Dad, I just wanted to discuss this with you. I don't lack money. Last year, Chunyan transferred the profits from the shop back home to my card every month. I've already saved up a considerable amount of money, and I've calculated that it's enough for me."

Ji Wanmei didn't dare tell Ji Xingguo that she had given all of her 7,000 yuan savings to Lei Tingjun last year so that he could acquire the brick factory.

She simply told him that she was not short of money.

Ji Xingguo thought about it and agreed.

Although he didn't usually pay much attention to his daughter's shop in Pingquan County, she told him during the first month of operation that her net income was a few thousand yuan.

Even if business isn't so good later on, you should still be able to save around ten thousand yuan a year.

My daughter said she doesn't lack money, and that's probably true.

Ji Xingguo pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, then use the money you have on hand first. If it's not enough, Dad will cover it."

When the topic finally came up, Ji Wanmei was naturally very happy that her father had agreed to let her open a branch store.

Ji Xingguo also felt a bit emotional, as he had initially suggested that his daughter apply for a management major.

Originally, I was thinking that after my daughter graduated from university, I would go back to the Dongfang Factory so that she could gain experience step by step and learn management in the factory.

To put it bluntly, Ji Xingguo wanted to groom his daughter.

The father, who is both a father and a mother, not only worries about his daughter's marriage but also wants to pave the way for her future career.

Unexpectedly, things have taken an unexpected turn.

My daughter has figured out a direction for herself in the physical store business.

She is so opinionated and has her own ideas now.

Even after he retires, she will surely be able to live a good life on her own.

Ji Xingguo was gratified, but also felt a little sorry for him.

A child's maturity often happens in an instant.

Ji Xingguo was still in a daze when he realized that the soft, cuddly little girl who used to cry on his lap had grown up so much.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingguo was filled with emotion once again.

But Ji Xingguo had no idea.

In his view, all these developments were unexpected and unfortunate, all of which were altered step by step by Ji Wanmei after her rebirth, through her own power and influence.

It wasn't as easy as it seemed on the surface.

Ji Wanmei bore a heavy burden on her own.

After finishing her phone call with her dad, Ji Wanmei returned to her dorm in a good mood.

When she got back, everyone was still asleep.

Ji Wanmei didn't sit casually this time. She sat down at the desk next to the bed and thought about the layout and size of the shop downstairs from the landlord.

She plans to design the interior design style in advance.

Since it was only a two-year lease, Ji Wanmei couldn't afford to spend too much on renovations, because the store would eventually have to be returned to the bookstore owner.

Therefore, Ji Wanmei was considering how to transform and change the existing structure.

Get things done with as little money as possible.

Across from her, Zhou Min was reading and taking notes. After watching for a while, she noticed that Ji Wanmei was also unusually quiet and focused tonight, writing and drawing at her desk.

She put down her book, got up, and walked over to ask, "Wanmei, what are you writing?"

Ji Wanmei didn't try to hide anything. She looked up and smiled, saying, "Last time I said I wanted to find a storefront. Well, recently the owner of the bookstore downstairs from my boyfriend's rented apartment had to go back home because of some family matters, so he rented out the bookstore. I just took it over."

"I'm thinking about how to take over the property and renovate it."

Zhou Min was surprised, and her voice unconsciously rose a little: "You rented the shop near the school gate? Does it sell face cream?"

Zhou Yuejuan overheard half of what was said, then turned around and asked, "There are shops selling face cream near the school gate? I bet they're all fake."

Ji Wanmei gestured to Zhou Min to lower her voice.

Zhou Min covered her mouth, turned around and shook her head: "It's nothing."

Ji Wanmei pulled Zhou Min to sit down beside her before whispering, "I don't want anyone else to know about this yet, so please keep it a secret for me."

"Okay, I won't tell anyone else."

After Zhou Min finished speaking, she added, "You're already planning to renovate, so you won't be able to hide it from us any longer."

Ji Wanmei blinked: "I plan to find a professional repair team to do it."

Zhou Min looked at her for a while and said directly, "Isn't your boyfriend in this line of work?"

Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "You weren't wrong. He helped me find someone to install my first shop in my hometown. I didn't have to do anything at the time."
