Chapter 243 Entrepreneurship
The perceptive Xu Yirou also sensed the distance Su Xiangwan had shed towards her.
The atmosphere among the three became more harmonious.
Cai Shuhua recounted everything she had just discussed with Xu Yirou.
Su Xiangwan was not surprised after hearing this.
After all, in the original novel, Xu Yirou's business later became extremely large.
She was originally a very business-minded person.
Thinking of this, Su Xiangwan smiled at Cai Shuhua and Xu Yirou and said, "Auntie, Yirou's method is very good. Besides, aren't you worried that you don't have experience in sales? Well, Yirou is studying in Beijing. Wouldn't it be perfect for her to be in charge of sales in Beijing?"
Hearing Su Xiangwan say that, Cai Shuhua was taken aback, then slapped her thigh: "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Yi Rou, isn't she the best candidate? But, Yi Rou still has to go to school, wouldn't that..."
Su Xiangwan said, "University courses aren't actually that busy. Yi Rou only needs to take charge of summarizing the results and keeping track of the overall direction during her free time."
"I see! Then, Yi Rou, would you be willing to help me?"
Cai Shuhua looked at Xu Yirou with surprise.
Xu Yirou never expected that Su Xiangwan and Cai Shuhua would ask her to take charge of sales in Beijing.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I'm actually preparing to start my own business, so I probably won't have much time for this. However, since my business hasn't started yet, I can first show you the process, and once you've learned it, I'll go back to my own business."
Cai Shuhua was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "It's okay. If you think you can handle it, then teach your aunt first. Once your aunt has learned, you can focus on your own things. Your aunt definitely won't take up too much of your time."
When Su Xiangwan heard Xu Yirou say that, she couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Yirou. It turned out that at this time, Xu Yirou already had the idea of starting her own business!
That's right. Now is the time with the most opportunities. As long as you dare to take action, you can easily earn your first pot of gold.
Over the next few days, Cai Shuhua kept learning about business from Su Xiangwan and Xu Yirou.
Although she never went to school, she had learned a few characters by being around Tong Liqun for so many years.
Even the simplest calculations are possible.
In addition, these past few nights, she has been pestering Tong Liqun to teach her arithmetic every day.
Their enthusiasm for learning surpassed that of students preparing for the college entrance examination a few days ago.
Finally, after spending ten days in the capital, and confirming that the embroidery pieces could fetch a high price,
With a strong sense of career ambition, Cai Shuhua couldn't wait to board the train back to Bakushu Village with Tong Liqun.
After seeing Cai Shuhua and the others off, the Gu family celebrated their annual first birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, Shao Zijie, Wu Yong'an, Xu Yirou, and the others arrived at the Su residence to present their congratulatory gifts.
A few days earlier, Gu's father had started thinking about what to include in his eldest grandson's first birthday celebration.
Books, rattles, money, abacus, flutes, organs, toy guns, and other items were laid out on the ground.
Dressed up in her new clothes, Niannian was carried by Su Xiangwan and placed on the carpet.
After looking around, his eyes were instantly drawn to the toy gun on the ground. Without hesitation, he crawled towards the toy gun using both his hands and feet.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he took the gun directly into his hand, imitating how he saw everyone shooting targets in the military camp, pointed the gun at Gu Yanxiao, and made rhythmic "bang! bang!" sounds.
"Pfft!"
Seeing this, Gu Yanfei couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Big brother, it seems that Niannian harbors quite a grudge against you! Have you been secretly bullying Niannian lately?"
Gu Yanxiao glanced expressionlessly at his younger sister, Gu Yanfei, before looking at his own son with a helpless smile.
Wasn't it just a few days ago when I saw him pestering Su Xiangwan and scolded him a bit?
That brat still holds a grudge.
Looking at Niannian's extremely standard gun-holding posture despite her young age, Su Xiangbei said, "It seems that our Niannian also wants to join the army when she grows up!"
"Good! Good!" Father Gu nodded repeatedly, "It's good to be a soldier! In the future, he will be a good candidate for the army, just like his father!"
"Like father, like son!" Wu Yong'an gave Nian Nian a thumbs up.
Hearing everyone's praise year after year, he happily held onto the gun, causing everyone to laugh.
Before long, Aunt Liu had prepared a sumptuous lunch.
As everyone took their seats, the conversation gradually warmed up after a few drinks.
Wu Yong'an looked at Gu Yanfei sitting with Su Xiangbei and said with a smile, "Little Sister Gu, I heard your wedding is coming up soon. I haven't congratulated you yet!"
Gu Yanfei blushed slightly, but still said gracefully, "Thank you, Brother Wu. The wedding date has been set for the 19th of next month."
"Then Brother Wu will congratulate you in advance," Wu Yong'an said, raising his glass to Su Xiangbei and Gu Yanfei.
Su Xiangbei looked at Xu Yirou beside Wu Yong'an, smiled faintly, and said, "Congratulations, have you and Miss Xu set your wedding date?"
Wu Yong'an and Xu Yirou smiled at each other and said, "Yirou and I have already agreed to just get our marriage certificate. We don't plan to have a big celebration. We'll just have a meal together then."
He was all alone, with no relatives. He had lost contact with his adoptive parents, and he didn't know where his biological parents were. So, he planned to treat his good friends to a meal when the time came.
Hearing him say that, Su Xiangwan nodded and asked, "Have you decided when to get the marriage certificate?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong'an smiled and looked at Gu Yanxiao, saying, "That depends on when the higher-ups approve my marriage application."
Gu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll handle this matter tomorrow."
Father Gu looked at everyone with a sigh, thinking, "Youth is truly wonderful!"
"It seems that Niannian will soon have younger siblings to play with." Gu's mother happily teased Niannian in her arms.
Shao Zijie looked around at everyone who was in pairs, his gaze swept over Gu Yanfei's face full of happy smiles, and then fell on the wine glass in front of him, concealing all the sadness in his eyes.
Just then, Gu Yanxiao suddenly called out to him, "Zijie, come on, let's have a drink."
Shao Zijie quickly raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses and each drank it down in one gulp.
Gu Yanxiao then spoke up, "Zijie, I heard there was quite a commotion at your home recently. Have you dealt with it?"
A bitter look flashed in Shao Zijie's eyes as he said, "It's all because of my sister. She insisted on marrying the son of a criminal, and that criminal happens to be a traitor to my grandfather. It made my grandfather so angry that he fell ill."
