What are the principles of doing business?
To be honest, Shen Yunhao never expected this move.
Why would they send their good-for-nothing son, who just loafs around and waits to die, to help manage the family business?
Aren't you afraid of losing all your family fortune?
Upon further reflection, I understood the reasoning behind it.
The Ning family... is gone.
Even immense wealth is nothing to cultivators.
With the only two descendants going up the mountain to cultivate Taoism, who will inherit this vast family fortune in the mortal world?
After thinking it over, I really can't find a better choice than myself...
The Shen family is large and powerful, and we know them well. Although I haven't accomplished much, I am still a respectable young master from a respectable family and the son-in-law of the Ning family in name only.
Even if he were to squander all his family fortune, with a capable daughter, Master Ning would still be financially secure for the rest of his life.
The saying "longing for immortality and forgetting the mortal world" perfectly illustrates this principle.
But was it Ning Yuyao's idea to make it difficult for him to go into business?
He wanted to leave himself a fortune to live off the Shen family and repay Shen Yunxiao for saving his life back then.
If that's the case, then why give yourself that Guiyuan Breathing Technique?
I don't understand, I can't figure it out...
"Well, Yunhao, what do you think?" Shen Muchi said with a faint smile, "You're already of age to be twenty. Instead of staying at home eating and drinking all day, idling around, why not go and find a bright future..."
It seems like a question, but it's actually coercion. If you don't agree, you're just a good-for-nothing who eats all day and does nothing.
No wonder Shen Muchi was so happy. Ning Yuan was willing to take Shen Yunhao into business, which meant he already regarded him as his son-in-law.
Despite the twists and turns, the Shen family finally managed to get close to Ning Yuyao.
Shen Yunhao was initially reluctant to go, but considering his experience this morning, he realized that he was indeed not destined for immortality cultivation. He thought it might be better to try his luck in the business world and become a carefree wealthy businessman.
He didn't deliberately study economics in the 21st century, but by inventing things that didn't exist in this world based on his past memories, he could make a fortune.
"Thank you for your kindness, I will certainly live up to your expectations..."
Shen Yunhao clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Seeing this, Shen Muchi smiled even more happily.
"Very good, very good. Now that Yunhao has found a good place, I can say I have not failed my third brother's trust!"
The third brother he mentioned was naturally Shen Yunhao's father, Shen Yunxiao.
Ning Xiao, sitting in the guest seat, had a neutral expression. He glanced at Shen Yunhao and then stood up, saying, "I know you are not good at classical studies, but if you want to manage the family business, you must learn divination."
“Actually, it’s not impossible for me to teach you myself, but I don’t have time to teach you the basics. So, the teacher who will be teaching you is Mr. Wang from Tianshui Academy. You should study hard with him and not let your elder brother down.”
Shen Yunhao curled his lip upon hearing this.
He does not deny that ancient mathematics is profound, but how much of it is actually used? It is nothing more than simple operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
I'm a college student, after all, and I've studied advanced mathematics.
Bring out a matrix and you'll be scared to death.
But we still have to save face.
"I will definitely try my best..."
It was still early, so after exchanging pleasantries, Shen Yunhao left the Shen residence with Ning Xiao.
As a major coastal town of the Tianyu Dynasty, Lin Yuan City is quite large in area.
Tianshui Academy is located in the south of the city, some distance from the city center where the Shen family mansion is located.
After leaving the house, the two boarded a carriage specially arranged by the Ning family.
"Uncle Ning, I'd like to ask you something."
On the carriage, Shen Yunhao casually asked the question from before.
"On my wedding day, I drank too much and was drunk for three days. I heard from Steward Li that you went over to toast me that day. Do you remember who else was at my table?"
When Shen Yunhao brought up the wedding day again, Ning Xiao's face darkened slightly.
Although he didn't lash out on the spot, his tone became very unfriendly: "How would I know the scoundrels you've made? The only people I know are Ji Minghe from Shanhe Hall and Wang Shun from the Wang family in the north of the city."
Shanhetang is a large pharmacy in the Tianyu Dynasty, and its owner is one of the wealthiest merchants in Linyuan City.
However, the young master Ji Minghe was an incompetent fool who frequented brothels.
Shen Yunhao became acquainted with him because this Young Master Ji was generous and... similarly looked down upon by others.
However, Wang Shun... although he knew him, he was not familiar with him at all. Why was he sitting at his table?
"Getting this drunk from just a few drinks..." Ning Xiao continued to sneer: "From now on, when you go out drinking with those merchants, sit at the children's table! So you won't get so drunk again and have to be carried away."
Shen Yunhao: "???"
I feel offended.
But soon he realized what it felt like to be truly offended.
After arriving at Tianshui Academy with Ning Xiao, they found Mr. Wang, a white-haired and bearded man, teaching a class of "children".
Shen Yunhao was actually placed in the class as a "transfer student" to attend lectures.
Even with Shen Yunhao's thick skin, he felt genuinely embarrassed when faced with the curious gazes of those children.
"Was I really that bad in my past life? I couldn't even learn elementary school math? And now I have to take extra lessons... This is infuriating..."
After spending most of the day listening to incredibly simple and boring basic math concepts, Shen Yunhao finally left the academy as the sun was setting.
"What a painful day..."
At the entrance of the academy, Shen Yunhao was about to go to a nearby carriage shop to call a horse-drawn carriage to go back when a luxuriously decorated carriage stopped in front of him.
