Wen Tonghai could tell that his granddaughter was very goal-oriented. How could Chen Siyuan, who had just arrived in Beijing, know about Shi Dahai? Even regarding Wen Tao's matter, if she hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that someone had set up such a meticulous plan.
He didn't think his young granddaughter, who hadn't experienced much in her life, would know so much.
Unless, that person is Qiao Yuchen?
But why did Qiao Yuchen do this? Was it really for his granddaughter?
These words made Chen Siyuan glance at her grandfather cautiously. "Grandpa, you believe both of the things I said."
Wen Tonghai nodded.
"If I said I could predict the future, would Grandpa believe me?"
I don't believe it.
"What does Grandpa know I want to do with the Nanguan Street property?"
"Tell me about it." He was an experienced person and didn't understand this. Apart from the three shops in Nanguan Street, he could understand what it meant. The other shops hadn't been touched.
Chen Siyuan smiled confidently. "Business in Beijing hasn't been good these past few years. Nanguan Street used to be frequented by wealthy young men, but things aren't peaceful in Beijing now." She glanced cautiously at her grandfather, and seeing he didn't say anything, she continued reassuredly, "These people are worried that what's happening will affect them, so they're all trying to leave. Actually, I think that's normal. They've made a lot of money in Beijing over the years, and leaving now is a good thing for them. I can buy up cheap shops at this time. I think the most crucial thing for a businessman is finding the right entry point—buying low and selling high, profiting from the difference. That's what makes a truly successful businessman."
"You know quite a lot." No wonder she's my granddaughter; she's inherited this trait from me.
The more I look at my granddaughter, the more satisfied I become.
"I actually plan to turn Nanguan Street into a clothing street."
"What?" Wen Tonghai, who had experienced all sorts of big events, was shocked.
In his opinion, his granddaughter is still too naive. At first, he thought she was quite reliable, but now he feels she is still too young and not perfect in her work.
Chen Siyuan wasn't angry. She watched her grandfather's expression change with a smile and quickly comforted him. Then she spoke her mind again, "Grandpa, I know what you're thinking. You think that with so many clothing and fabric shops clustered together, business might be difficult. Don't you think it's a good thing if they do well? Everyone needs clothes these days, and many people have to run around to many places to buy everything they need. It can take a long time, even several days, to find something they like. If they could buy everything they need on this one street, who would bother running around?"
Wen Tonghai seemed to know his granddaughter's thoughts: bold, but too risky.
“My business isn’t just in Beijing; I also want to expand overseas.”
Wen Tonghai's eyes widened; his granddaughter was a complete surprise to him.
His best grandson has a good eye for this, but his eye is still a little inferior to that of his granddaughter.
Chen Siyuan noticed the change in her grandfather's eyes; he spoke with even more confidence, as if she could already see how far her career would expand.
"The capital is indeed a good place, a place where talents gather. People from all over the country come here. If they know that there are their own ethnic costumes in the capital, I think they would be very willing to spend their own money to buy some things." Those who can come to the capital are all children of wealthy people. They are not short of money. As long as they are happy, they don't care how much money they spend.
“Grandpa, think about it. Clothing trends change every period of time. I have my own shops for each series of clothes. Even if one of the shops becomes unpopular after a few years, it won't be good. I have other shops.”
"I'm not a wholesaler of fabrics yet. I bring some of the unique fabrics from our country into the store and then wholesale them to places that need them."
You wish!
Chen Siyuan chuckled, "Grandpa, how about we cooperate?"
"impossible."
“I don’t need my grandfather’s investment. I just think that since my grandfather’s shops are all over the country, I just need to put a few advertisements for me in his shops.”
"What's the meaning?"
"As long as people who go to my grandfather's shop know that there is a South Gate Street, that's fine."
You wish!
“I can give my grandfather a share of the profits.”
"Hmph—" Wen Tonghai was so angry that his nose was crooked. Was he the one who needed money?
Grandpa—
Grandpa—
Chen Siyuan started to whine and coax, but Wen Tonghai still felt it was too risky, so he finally agreed.
When Wenkai and Wentao returned, they ate together in their grandfather's courtyard.
The atmosphere at the meal was very pleasant, but shortly after they started eating, Qiao Yuchen came to their door on his own.
Wen Tonghai was extremely satisfied when he saw Qiao Yuchen in person.
This person seemed unreliable, yet he was quite satisfied with what he saw.
Having status and background is not the most important thing; what matters is that his granddaughter exists in his heart and mind.
"Grandpa—" Qiao Yuchen bowed to Wen Tonghai at the door and then knelt down on the ground.
Wen Kai and Wen Tao were stunned.
What's going on?
Wen Tonghai indeed chuckled as he touched his nose.
Chen Siyuan quickly stepped forward, pretending to help Qiao Yuchen up, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
"To see your maternal grandfather?"
"Then why did you kneel down?" Chen Siyuan was speechless. The way they looked at her earlier made her blush.
"I was a little excited to meet my grandfather for the first time."
"Kneel down when you're excited?" Chen Siyuan didn't believe this absurd logic; the two of them had lingered at the door for far too long.
Sure enough, when she pulled Qiao Yuchen to sit down, she met several teasing glances, making her feel quite embarrassed.
The men were fine.
Wen Kai had a good impression of Qiao Yuchen and did not look at him with prejudice because of his other identity, unlike Wen Tao who had pursued him for a long time.
He had known his cousin's personality since childhood, and he admired the person who had managed to win her over.
Wen Tonghai became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
After a few drinks, he even forgot who his grandson was.
Later, when they got drunk, Wen Tonghai and Qiao Yuchen even confused their generational relationships.
In the end, the two began to address each other as brothers.
Fortunately, Wen Kai and Wen Tao were there, preventing the two from making a big fool of themselves.
Finally, Chen Siyuan left with the drunk man.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuchen didn't arrive alone; he brought Wang Yong and Yang Lei with him. They initially wanted to help and tried to reason with him, but then Qiao Yuchen started acting drunk and lingered around Chen Siyuan.
Having no other choice, Chen Siyuan risked being crushed and dragged Qiao Yuchen back to the East Garden in a disheveled state.
At this moment, everyone in the General's Mansion witnessed the scene before them.
