Chapter 289 Negotiating with the person who can make the final decision
"But when it comes to engaging in business activities themselves, they will definitely not lower their status, let alone get involved in small businesses that are considered low-end."
She tried to discuss the matter with her sister-in-law and brother's wife, but found that Xi Lanfang and Li had surprisingly similar attitudes.
They all firmly believed that it was a man's responsibility to venture out into the world. With Tu Suting, Tu Subo and others working hard outside, it was sufficient for women to do some embroidery work at home and assist with the daily affairs of the winery.
However, Yu's view is completely different.
"I have already regarded your second uncle's expectations as if he were dead, and I no longer count on him. If I could truly take control of the embroidery shop, I would be reluctant to part with Min Fei and would not be able to delay. This kind of delicate business, which often involves dealing with women, is not suitable for him to manage. Therefore, I have to personally take charge of the business."
"I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it. When I was at my mother's house, I saw several independent female managers. But this practice has no precedent in the Tu Su family. I'm afraid this idea is indeed a bit too avant-garde."
In the Tu Su family, going back three generations, there has never been a woman who opened a shop on the street and served as the shopkeeper.
It took great courage for Yu to have such an idea, which also explains why she had to discuss it quietly in private.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes flashed with a glint of wit. She smiled softly, pulled the stool closer, and whispered mysteriously, "Second Aunt, do you know why I followed Tu Subo into the city today?"
Yu blinked in confusion, "What?"
"A friend of Tu Subo plans to set up a grain store in the county town. He invited me to be his apprentice and personally teach me the ways of doing business."
Yu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Would Tu Su Bo agree to let you go out and engage in this kind of livelihood?"
"Why not?"
Gu Yuexuan chuckled and replied, "There's nothing shameful about seeking profit. If men can do something, why can't women?"
"Although we've discussed the matter of the embroidery shop, we can't make decisions on our own. Why don't we go discuss it with Grandfather and see what he thinks?"
The family owned hundreds of acres of arable land, a good harvest was in sight, and they were not short of money.
However, if Yu wanted to open an embroidery shop, she would undoubtedly need to negotiate with someone who could make the final decision, otherwise no one would be able to use the family's money without permission.
An inexplicable intuition made Gu Yuexuan firmly believe that her grandfather would not object to this plan.
Mrs. Yu was full of doubts: "Xuanxuan, do you think Grandfather will agree? If he doesn't agree, then..."
"If Grandfather disagrees once, we will continue to persuade him, the second time, the third time... until he says yes."
Gu Yuexuan was deeply loved and tolerated by her grandfather, so she didn't have too many worries in her heart. She said casually, "I don't know much about the specific matters of the embroidery shop. You still need to sort out the details yourself."
"But I can first reveal this idea to Tu Subo. Once you've figured out how to propose it to Grandfather, Tu Subo and I will pave the way for you. What do you think, Second Aunt?"
Yu hadn't expected to receive such unexpected support from Gu Yuexuan. She was stunned for a moment, then said with tears in her eyes, "Xuanxuan, do you really think I'm capable of this?"
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"If you, Second Aunt, say you can't do business, then there are so many people in our family, and no one dares to say they can do it."
"Second Aunt, if you think it's okay, then let's just make it this way. I'll go back and tell Tu Subo right away, and he'll definitely agree."
Yu blinked in confusion, "What?"
"A friend of Tu Subo plans to set up a grain store in the county town. He invited me to be his apprentice and personally teach me the ways of doing business."
Yu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Would Tu Su Bo agree to let you go out and engage in this kind of livelihood?"

"Second Aunt, if you think it's okay, then let's just make it this way. I'll go back and tell Tu Subo right away, and he'll definitely agree."
Second Aunt's embroidery skills were truly exceptional, and her pieces were considered unique treasures in the county and even within a hundred miles of the surrounding area. With this exquisite skill, coupled with her inherent expertise in this field, success came naturally.
As for the initial capital investment, it is not an insurmountable hurdle.
Gu Yuexuan rested her arms gently on Tu Subo's neck and spoke lazily, "Aren't Third Uncle and Third Aunt in charge of the winery's operations now? In my opinion, it would be a great idea for Second Aunt to open an embroidery shop. Everyone can do their job and show their strengths without interfering with each other."
"Tu Subo, what do you think?"
Tu Subo did not directly respond to her question, but said implicitly: "You want me to persuade my grandfather."
He glanced deeply at the delicate wrist on his neck, and said meaningfully, "That's why you are so proactive."
Normally, he always tried to pull her closer.
But today, she took the initiative to get close to him.
Gu Yuexuan curled her lips, pinched his cheek in anger, gently pulled it, and scolded him: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether this idea can be successful or not."
"Xuanxuan..."
Tu Subo sighed helplessly, gently biting Gu Yuexuan's naughty fingers, and whispered in her exaggerated inhalation: "You want to pull the flag, not my face."
"You and Second Aunt shouldn't mention this matter for now. I'll go discuss it with Grandfather."
He gently kissed the bitten finger and said softly, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
