Xia Ruzheng felt that Grandma Liu had the air of a lady from a noble family. She didn't seem like the type of person who would often go out. Moreover, seeing that their family was well-off, she didn't need to worry about making a living.
Grandma Liu said, "I go out occasionally. A few old sisters often get together. I'm also a professor at the Conservatory of Music, so I often go there to teach."
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but stop what he was doing, looked Grandma Liu up and down, and said, "I'm really shortsighted. I didn't realize you had such talent! No wonder you can play the piano!"
Grandma Liu showed a hint of happiness. Anyone would be happy when receiving sincere praise.
"You can't say that. In the past, music wasn't valued. It was part of capitalist hedonism, so it was suppressed. Now that we're finally able to take a breather, many things are still a mess!"
"Then you can rest assured. Look at this! Isn't the crime of speculation and profiteering, which used to get you jailed, now legal and reasonable? Music brings joy, and it will definitely get better and better."
Grandma Liu said, "From what you said, it seems like it's really like that."
Of course Xia Ruzheng knew that people who can sing will have a bright future!
After counting the money, Xia Ruzheng was delighted. He had made more money today than ever before! It turned out that position was the most important thing in business!
When she reported the good news that evening, Wen Zhichao saw her excitement and said, "Well done."
Xia Ruzheng looked like a kitten asking for caress, so Wen Zhichao generously stroked him twice.
Xia Ruzheng said, "This move was really the right decision. I feel like I can do anything with ease now. I'm not worried about people constantly watching me or the money I have."
Wen Zhichao said, "As long as you are happy."
Xia Ruzheng continued, "I have an idea. I want to make a sign for my stall so that people can tell it's mine. Even if I move to a new location next time, they'll still know it's me when they see my sign. What do you think?"
Wen Zhichao said, "Of course, our store also makes brands. Tell me what kind you want and I'll make it for you."
Xia Ruzheng almost jumped up with joy, hugged Wen Zhichao and said, "I knew you understood me the best! I don't want a big sign. After all, my stall is only so big. If it's too big, it will be blown away by the wind. But I want it to be bright and colorful, so people will be happy when they see it, so I want it to be red and yellow. Oh, yes, I've also thought of a name, it's Fuyuan Food."
Guangdong people, especially Guangzhou people, have many similarities in habits with Hong Kong people. They are superstitious about things that symbolize good luck. If your product is good but has an unpleasant name, people will not buy it.
"That's a great name! I'll make it for you tomorrow!"
"Well, and I made an agreement with Sister Li today. We'll go get an extra pot of soy milk. As for the price, you can negotiate with them. We'll still pay you monthly."
"OK."
It’s good to have a capable man. He can be a hands-off boss in many things, and Xia Ruzheng doesn’t have to worry about those things himself.
"We've both been busy these past two days. After we're done, we'll treat Grandma Liu and her family to a meal. I just found out today that Grandma Liu is actually a professor at the Conservatory of Music!"
Of course Wen Zhichao knew all this, but there were so many things going on these days that he didn't remember to mention these unimportant things.
"Yeah, you can play the piano with her later and talk to her. You like reading, and they have some books at home. You can borrow them, but some of them are Grandpa An's professional books, and you may not understand them."
Xia Ruzheng was filled with questions: "What major?"
"Engineering."
Oh, the one who builds the house!
Wen Zhichao also said: "Grandpa An studied abroad, and Grandma Liu still occasionally goes abroad to perform."
Xia Ruzheng had a Spartan feeling. He originally thought that Grandma Liu and Grandpa An were just two ordinary old people pretending to be nice, but he didn't expect that their identities were so awesome. Just based on this identity, he didn't know how many people would want to come and make connections with them!
"Then... then does our business damage their reputation?"
Generally speaking, people who have both fame and fortune will be more careful about their reputation and avoid troublesome things that may damage their reputation, right?
Wen Zhichao said, "Don't worry about this. I made it clear before we rented the house, and we both have no objection."
That’s good, it really was a false alarm.
The couple was busy, and Xia Ruzheng usually finished a morning's work and had the afternoon free. He didn't want to go out, so he would talk to Grandma Liu, play the piano with her, read books, and drink tea. His days were quite comfortable. The two of them were getting along better and better, almost like a close friend regardless of age.
A few days later, Wen Zhichao brought back the sign Xia Ruzheng had requested. It wasn't huge, but neither was it small enough to be seen from a distance. The red background with white characters—a common pattern in later times, but one that looks quite trendy today—also featured an auspicious design, perfectly in line with the aesthetics of Guangzhou residents.
“It’s done better than I thought.”
"That's good." Wen Zhichao would never say that he put a lot of effort into it! "The tape store will open the day after tomorrow, remember to come then."
"Okay, I'll stop doing business that day!"
"How can that be? You've only been doing it for a month and it's already shutting down. All the customers are running away. Don't worry, I won't officially open until noon. I'll be waiting for you to come over."
Xia Ruzheng hesitated and said, "That's not good, right?"
Wen Zhichao said rather domineeringly, "Why not? My shop opens whenever I say so, and I've had someone calculate it, and noon is a good time. With the sun's aura, may our business prosper."
