Luo Jiao was startled and said quickly, "I can't give up. I rely on this store for my livelihood."
"Hahaha, don't worry, sister-in-law. I certainly won't let you just give up this store. Let me talk to my brother after dinner tonight."
After all the customers in the store left, Shen Chuan said, "Let's go. It's only a hundred or two hundred yuan to wait until ten o'clock in the evening. It's not worth it."
Chen Qian couldn't stand him talking any longer, so he exchanged glances with Luo Jiao and then printed a piece of paper saying he had something urgent to do and stuck it on the door.
Several people walked towards the parking lot together. When Shen Qian and Luo Jiao saw the BMW X7, the excitement they felt was as overwhelming as a tidal wave.
Chen Chuan didn't explain and drove his family to the pedestrian street and chose a steak restaurant with a good reputation.
Looking at the prices on the menu that were often over two hundred, Shen Qian couldn't help but say:
"Xiaochuan, the prices here are a bit inflated. How can a steak cost over two hundred? Let's go to another place, Hawker Steakhouse. Your sister-in-law and I eat there occasionally. The portions are generous and the prices are affordable."
Chen Chuan shook his head: "No, I'm too lazy to leave. I haven't eaten steak at this price before, so I'll just treat it as an experience."
"You, okay."
Shen Qian wanted to say that it was too wasteful, but when he thought about his younger brother who was now driving a BMW X7, how could he be short of such a small amount of money?
At this point, Shen Chuan's goal was achieved.
The purpose of his return, in addition to having dinner with his family, was to show them his current situation so as to pave the way for more sources of money in the future.
The ultimate goal is to discuss with Shen Qian about leaving school and doing business on the street.
While they were eating, the little girl woke up halfway, ate a small portion of mashed potatoes, and then babbled non-stop. The whole family was amused by her naive appearance.
After a happy meal, the family went shopping.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Chuan drove back to the rental house.
After my parents and sister-in-law went in, the two brothers sat in the driver's seat and the co-pilot, and Shen Chuan handed them a cigarette.
Shen Qian smiled and said, “Just say whatever you want to say.”
"I have something to discuss with you." Chen Chuan sorted out his words and said slowly, "Have you ever considered leaving school and opening a shop on the street?"
"On the street?"
Shen Qian smacked his lips, sighed and laughed, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but opening a store on the street will put more pressure. You may not know the market in Jiangcheng. The competition is fierce, the storefront rent is expensive, and a small business won't attract big customers."
"It seems you've considered it." Chen Chuan grinned, "What do you think about opening a graphic design store under an office building in a mature business district?"
Shen Qian raised his brows and said, "That would be great. Why, do you want to open a store under the office building?"
Chen Chuan was a little stunned.
"Ah? What kind of store am I opening?"
Shen Qian frowned: "You don't want me to open a shop under the office building?"
"Of course."
Shen Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It felt like Shen Qian thought he was going to open a store by himself?
"A friend of mine showed me a place downstairs in an office building, 80 square meters. I'm thinking it would be a good place for a graphic arts store. It's surrounded by office buildings, so it has great potential. So I came back to ask for your opinion. If you're willing, come with me tomorrow."
Shen Qian pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"I'm not stupid. There aren't any empty storefronts under established office buildings. Storefronts in those places are in high demand. The transfer fee for the place you're interested in isn't cheap, is it?"
"I know you're doing well now, but if I cause you to spend tens of millions to open a store, I'll refuse."
Chen Chuan frowned: "Why?"
"Because I'm worried that you'll lose everything."
Chen Chuan suddenly sneered: "Brother, why are you so timid? So what if I lose all my money? I can afford to pay this little money."
"Just because you can afford the compensation doesn't mean I can accept it with peace of mind. Let's just leave it at that. I'm fine the way I am now. At least I don't have any psychological burden."
Chen Chuan did not expect this conversation to have such an outcome. He thought Chen Chuan should have accepted it with peace of mind. How could it turn out like this?
He felt unhappy and was not very polite in his words.
"You think the current situation is good, but have you ever thought about your sister-in-law and the little girl? Doesn't your sister-in-law want to live a good life? Doesn't she want to own a house of her own?"
"Little girl, don't you need money for your future education, food, clothing, housing and transportation?"
"Don't you want to be able to hold your head high when you go to your sister-in-law's parents' house? Don't you want everyone to know that marrying you was not wrong? Even if you don't want to, doesn't your sister-in-law want to?!"
"Who will take care of my parents when they get old? You're counting on me alone, right?"
