When others heard Huang Qinqin's question, one word popped into their minds: danger!
After Huang Qinqin said so much, Xu Yuening has begun to realize that she seems to be a bit blindly confident.
Hearing Huang Qinqin's question, she asked with some doubt, "Isn't it because people haven't eaten much cake before?"
"Is it because it's novel that so many people are supporting it?"
Huang Qinqin shook her head and cruelly exposed, "It was someone else who helped you find people."
“It was your grandparents, your father, and your older brothers and sisters who invited all their friends.”
"I came here specifically to support you."
Xu Yuening's eyes widened instantly as she looked at Xu Weiguo and the others in disbelief.
"Grandpa and Grandma, is this true?"
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, were the customers on my opening day really your friends?"
Seeing Xu Yuening's reddened eyes, Xu Weiguo wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't bring himself to say it and could only silently look away.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Seeing that everyone was silent and dared not answer her question, Xu Yuening knew the answer.
She originally thought that the failure of her dessert shop this time was already a big enough blow.
So she never succeeded at all?
Unable to bear the blow, Xu Yuening burst into tears in Huang Qinqin's arms.
The others were heartbroken to see Xu Yuening sobbing uncontrollably.
A group of people began to surround her, constantly comforting her, and the things they said were all incredibly absurd.
"Don't cry, sweetie. Grandma will go get help right away and make sure your dessert shop business gets better and better!"
"Yueyue, your second brother has come up with many ideas that will definitely help you revive the shop."
"Grandpa is rich, Yueyue, don't worry if you lose money, Grandpa will take care of you for the rest of your life!"
"Yueyue, as long as you don't cry, your big brother will agree to anything you want!"
"Yes, Dad knows a lot of uncles and elders, and their families must have members who like to eat desserts."
"Today was just an accident; it's because we didn't promote it properly. Yueyue, don't be afraid!"
The more they tried to comfort her, the louder Xu Yuening cried.
Clearly, they had no idea what triggered Xu Yuening's emotional breakdown.
Their self-consolation only proves once again that the cake shop was only revived because of their help.
In the end, Huang Qinqin couldn't bear to see it anymore and comforted her, saying, "Yue'er, don't cry."
"Failure is not terrible, nor is discovering one's own shortcomings."
"Mom is telling you this not to discourage you, but to let you know where you stand."
"Mom hopes that you can achieve something great by relying on your own abilities."
"I hope you can live freely and happily, relying on your own abilities."
"Yue'er, tell Mom, do you want to become more capable? Do you want to open your shops all over the country on your own?"
Xu Yuening wiped away her tears and answered with a sob but unusually firm voice, "Yes!"
"I want to make a name for myself!"
Huang Qinqin knew her daughter was a good girl, and she gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
Then she asked softly, "Okay, then you can put the dessert shop aside for now."
"Why don't you stay with Mom and watch how we negotiate partnerships with others, okay?"
Xu Yuening asked in confusion, "But Mom, the things we bought at the department store don't seem to have much to do with desserts."
"Silly child, when it comes to business, once you understand one thing, you understand everything."
"What you need to learn is not how to run a dessert shop, but how to see through the thoughts in different people's hearts."
Xu Yuening nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Then she began a period of more than half a year, learning from Huang Qinqin.
However, she is already a senior in high school and will be taking the college entrance examination this year.
So for the past six months, Xu Yuening has been running around with Huang Qinqin during the day and having Xu Xing'an help him study at night.
In order not to affect Xu Yuening's grades, Xu Xing'an had no choice but to grit his teeth and study hard.
So much so that when the college entrance examination ended, the Xu family was stunned when they saw the two admission notices from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
After deciding not to study in the United States, Xu Yuening set her sights on attending Yanqing University very early on.
Xu Xing'an also mentioned that he would be going to Beijing to take care of Xu Yuening.
However, everyone thought that Xu Xing'an could only get into a junior college in Beijing, or some other university.
Who knew he would be so successful this time and get into Beijing North University!
"Pingping is quite something. I didn't expect you to be so talented."
"Tell me, is there anything you want? Grandpa will buy it for you!"
"It's the same for Yueyue. If you want something, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will buy it for you! Hahaha!"
Xu Weiguo was so excited he could hardly sit still, wishing he could take the two admission notices and walk around the city.
As he laughed, Xu Weiguo seemed to remember something and suddenly suggested, "Old woman, how about we throw a celebration for Pingping and Yueyue to celebrate their college admission?"
A graduation celebration?
Xu Weiguo nodded: "Yes, I went with you last year."
"Old Xie's grandson got into a junior college in Beijing, and they threw a banquet to celebrate his admission."
"Our Pingping and Yueyue even got into Tsinghua and Peking Universities, isn't that much better than a junior college degree?"
“This…” Zhang Yumei looked at Huang Qinqin with some hesitation.
It wasn't that Zhang Yumei didn't want to hold a celebration for Xu Xing'an and the others to celebrate their college admission.
It was because a few years ago, when they suggested holding a banquet for Xu Yuekang to celebrate his graduation, Huang Qinqin flatly refused.
Because Huang Qinqin said that Xu Weiguo was still in office, and his family held a lot of shares in the pickled vegetable factory and the doll factory.
Too many people are watching their family; it's not appropriate to be too ostentatious.
This time, Huang Qinqin didn't refuse outright, if she remembered correctly...
"Dad, are you retiring this year or next year?"
Xu Weiguo is 64 years old this year. Generally speaking, workers retire at the age of 55.
However, the situation in Xu Weiguo's unit is a bit special; they usually retire around the age of 65.
In recent years, Xu Weiguo has not really been in charge of things, and there are already clear candidates from above to take his place.
Xu Weiguo could retire at any time if he wanted to.
"I'll withdraw this year."
Xu Weiguo had wanted to retire for a long time, but the next director was not very good at controlling the people below him.
He had no choice but to work for a few more years.
Furthermore, Xu Weiguo had another idea: he wanted to accompany Xu Yuening and the others to study in Beijing.
However, he felt that Xu Junhui and the others might not agree, so he did not bring it up for the time being.
When Huang Qinqin heard Xu Weiguo say he would retire this year, she thought that the graduation banquet was a good idea.
"Alright, then let's throw a celebration for Pingping and Yue'er to celebrate their graduation."
