“Chenming, I own seven shares of the Beijing Furniture Factory, and Chen’er owns three. If we make any further investment, Chen’er will have to come up with 200,000 yuan. Chen’er definitely doesn’t have the money. But I wonder if Aunt Sheng has any money?” Yan Xiaonan asked.
Ye Chenming nodded, organized his thoughts, and began to explain: "The Sheng family was once a well-known family business in Shanghai. They were in the transportation business. Back then, some of them ran away or disappeared, but Nan Nan, you must remember, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."
It's a pity that Old Master Sheng was too arrogant. If he had been willing to give up half of his empire back then, things wouldn't be like this now, with only my aunt left. Besides, I reckon my aunt has a solid foundation. You'll see how much money she can get then. Go ahead and follow me with confidence; I'll always be there for you."
Yan Xiaonan felt a warmth in her heart. Ye Chenming was her strong support. She would risk her life to carry forward the Yan family and the Ye family and continue the glory of the Ye family.
With a wave of her hand, the white rice and straw were instantly stored in her space. Her supernatural power surged, and the black soil began to churn. As the soil churned, a handful of seeds were scattered. Since they were already in the mountains, they shouldn't waste any more time. This operation took twice as long. Yan Xiaonan knew that she had used too much of her supernatural power today.
The second batch of rice was stored in the space, and the land surged again, but Ye Chenming noticed that the surge was much smaller, which meant that Nan Nan's superpower was almost exhausted.
Ye Chenming supported Yan Xiaonan, his eyes filled with tenderness. His little girl had sacrificed so much for her family. If anyone in the Yan or Ye family dared to betray Nannan, he would make them pay the price for betrayal.
Yan Xiaonan smiled. In any case, 40,000 jin of rice was already in hand. If the rice and cotton were sold next week, there would be more than 100,000 yuan in cash. If the money was distributed among the clothing store and the general store, it would at least fill the stores. When the stores were running normally, it would be time to reap the rewards.
"Nan Nan, how about I carry you down the mountain? Luckily I lent out my car. Get in and get some sleep."
Yan Xiaonan nodded and climbed onto Ye Chenming's back. Ye Chenming's back was broad and warm, and the rhythmic beating of his heart was like hypnotic music, making Yan Xiaonan feel comfortable and drowsy.
Ye Chenming was worried that his grandmother would be concerned if he sent Yan Xiaonan back like this, so he drove around the city aimlessly, trying to give Yan Xiaonan time to recover. It wasn't until nightfall that he reluctantly sent the little girl back to the courtyard house.
When Grandma Yan saw her granddaughter looking like this, she knew that she must have overdrawn her magical powers again today. She quickly helped Yan Xiaonan into the north room, made the bed and folded the quilts so that the little girl could have a good sleep.
Ye Chenming tactfully took his leave, not wanting Yan Xiaoqiang to come back and give him a hard time. Cuihua said goodbye to him kindly, because she knew that Ye Chenming must have found a good sales channel again, which was why Nannan was working so hard.
Sure enough, before falling asleep, Yan Xiaonan briefly recounted how Ye Chenming could sell rice. Grandma Yan sighed and said, "Why don't we go back to our hometown after Nannan graduates? Otherwise, when will this ever end?"
Cuihua now communicates with her master every month and has learned a lot of lessons. She gently stroked Yan Xiaonan's hair and said, "Mother, we can't keep Nannan's secret, and we can't protect it either. We can only let Chenming take Nannan with him. When they both become strong, they can protect themselves. We have to help them from behind. We can't back down."
Grandma Yan understood, but she felt that the world was too difficult. Her eldest son was also a hero who had emerged from bloodshed, but it was difficult for him to protect Nan Nan on his own. He had to rely on his father-in-law to ensure her safety.
So many people are working hard, I can't back down. With that thought, Grandma Yan straightened her back. Since Chen Ming wants to help Nan Nan become stronger, I will support him from behind.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands tightly, reaching a consensus.
Yan Xiaoqiang rode his bicycle home, humming a little tune. He was in a particularly good mood today, probably because it was the weekend and business was booming. Ever since he learned that Ye Chenming was supporting the grocery store, all his arrogant attitude of being a big boss had disappeared, and he had become more down-to-earth.
He does everything himself, asks questions whenever he doesn't understand, and always takes notes, afraid that he will forget them. He looks up words he doesn't know how to write in the dictionary and writes them dozens of times in the newspaper, so he has learned to recognize many words.
If a product sells well in the store, quickly write it down; if a product is slow-moving, go through the ledger, find the wholesale price, and then place it in a prominent place to sell at a reduced price.
Finally, I managed to compile all the items and went to the post office to call Yan Ge. During the call, my thinking was clear and my requirements were distinct. Yan Ge was very impressed. My uncle has made great progress.
Not only that, with the help of the two little ones, he also learned to do bookkeeping and organize goods. It's so good to be young. With the skills that Nan Nan taught them in her spare time, the two young people organized the general store in an orderly manner and made the account books clean and clear.
In just a month and a half, Yan Xiaoqiang was able to run the grocery store independently without Yan Xiaonan's assistance. Yan Xiaonan was delighted and repeatedly praised her father for being smart and capable. Influenced by his daughter's flattery, Yan Xiaoqiang proudly puffed out his chest.
He finally arrived home, but apart from the deer greeting him at the door, where were Nan Nan, his mother, and his wife? Yan Xiaoqiang felt a sense of panic and quickly parked his bicycle, heading straight for his mother's north-facing room.
He was startled when he saw his mother and wife's hands clasped tightly together, and Nan Nan's sleeping face. What happened to Nan Nan?
"Qiangzi, Nannan said that Chenming has found a new sales channel, so the clothing store and the general store can increase their investment next month. We don't need to worry." Cuihua relayed what Nannan had told Grandma Yan to Yan Xiaoqiang.
Yan Xiaoqiang suddenly clutched his chest, feeling a pain inside. Grandma Yan, who was watching Nan Nan, didn't see her son's movement, but Cuihua was startled, wondering what was wrong with her husband.
“Nan Nan, Dad promises you, no matter what happens next month, the money you invested will not only be recouped by this time next year, but it will double.” Yan Xiaoqiang said to his daughter.
Grandma Yan smiled. Qiangzi is just like her eldest son; he's a man of his word. He'll always do what he says. Nannan's hard work has paid off.
After driving away from the courtyard house, Ye Chenming hurriedly returned to school and called Ye Huili to tell him that the things he needed had been taken care of. Ye Huili was initially puzzled, but considering that the boy had gone out on a date with Nan Nan today, could it be...?
Ye Huili couldn't sleep tonight. He needed to re-evaluate his daughter-in-law; she was incredibly capable. He wondered if those people knew her background, and if they did, they would definitely come back for more.
