Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 826 - 828: No Investment Needed

Zhan Jing and the others noticed something odd about the kids—they kept making phone calls secretly.

If it was just Zhao Guangran, they might think he’s up to something bad, but with Zhao Xuran and the others, it shouldn’t be anything like that.

Still, they were curious about what their kids were up to.

"What do you think Ni Zi and the others are doing?" Zhao Gang asked Gong Tao quietly.

Gong Tao was busy with his paperwork, "How should I know? But I don’t think it’s anything serious."

"And isn’t Ni Zi busy with tutoring lately?" She’s been so busy, where would she find the time for other things?

"Plus, I haven’t seen her going out causing trouble." If she really wanted to make money, she’d have to go out constantly to scout places.

"They don’t need to go out and mess around, they have no shop." Zhao Gang said indifferently, "Their lease at Qianmen is up, isn’t it?"

A shop at Qianmen? Could it be they’re planning to start a business? It can’t be, Zhao Gang’s words startled the previously unconcerned Gong Tao, "No way."

"Even though the rent doesn’t earn as much as running a business themselves, at least the income is stable, and they don’t have the time to manage it." Gong Tao thought the possibility was slim.

"No time to manage it, so they can’t do business? What about the book stall outside?" At first, Zhao Gang thought the kids were just playing around, not realizing they actually started a business.

What surprised them even more was that they seemed to make quite a bit of money, though not groundbreaking, it wasn’t bad either.

Zhao Gang kept grumbling, "Anyway, I wouldn’t underestimate their ability to make money."

Underestimating the kids’ ability to earn, Gong Tao wouldn’t dare think that and handed over the just verified data for Zhao Gang to see.

"This summer, even when they carelessly published a book, they actually made a lot of money." Gong Tao couldn’t help but exclaim, "Especially when the trend outside is towards making money."

Zhao Gang knew once his son published the book, the profit wouldn’t be bad, but didn’t expect it to be that good.

Holding the data book with trembling hands, Zhao Gang really wanted a cigarette, but after checking all over himself and finding none, he remembered his wife already banned him from smoking.

Alas, without a cigarette at a time like this, how to calm himself down, "I regret it now."

Gong Tao couldn’t help but think the same way, but what’s the use of regretting, "Looks like they already have plans, already thinking about how to spend the money."

"In the future..." Zhao Gang wanted to say if they publish such a book again, they shouldn’t just get a labor fee, at least a bit of profit.

The printing factory not only has Zhao Guangran as shareholders, but also Zhao Gang and Gong Tao. If the money isn’t significant, no one would envy them.

Listening at the door, Zhao Xuran heard the parents discussing their book’s success and shrugged at Zhao Guangran, signaling that this time they certainly made a lot.

Zhao Guangran got anxious, unsure if the parents would withhold the money, he urgently looked at his elder brother, they needed him to intervene in this matter.

Gong Ruini was not worried, actually, Zhao Gang and the others said that to find out what the kids planned to do with so much money.

As for coincidentally saying those words, Gong Ruini bet Zhao Gang knew the kids were at the door.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Gong, Aunt Cai."

"Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhan."

As the four of them entered the room, they politely greeted first, then left it to Zhao Xuran to take charge.

When negotiating with the adults, they just had one voice.

"Dad, Uncle Gong, we need to withdraw some money; we need the money." Zhao Xuran straightforwardly asked for money, "We must take all that’s ours."

See, Zhao Gang threw an ’I knew it’ look to Gong Tao.

Gong Tao wasn’t in the mood to compete with Zhao Gang over who’s right, he urgently asked, "You mean taking all the money?"

Knowing they definitely had a plan, but what plan, Gong Tao was curious. Of course, he wondered what money-making opportunities there were.

"Yes, otherwise our investment won’t be enough." Zhao Xuran looked at the adults with various expectant expressions, knowing they probably wanted to invest a bit.

But this time their investment wasn’t large enough, and they had enough money at hand.

They were indeed going to invest and start a business, but unfortunately, the kids didn’t want to invest, could it be the investment isn’t big?

But can the kids really not care about small-scale business? Zhao Gang and Gong Tao had such thoughts.

"You really don’t need it? Are you planning to do small stall business?" Zhao Gang was still unwilling to give up, always thinking about how they might regret missing out after this.

"No need." Zhao Xuran saw his dad trying all sorts to get information, which was quite amusing; wasn’t his dad worried about not having business deals?

"We’re just opening a food business."

"Just a small business." Zhao Gang’s probing made Zhao Guangran truly worried, worried that his dad might get interested in this business.

Gong Ruini seemed to want to kick Zhao Guangran out, the more composed the response, no matter how curious Zhao Gang and the others were, they wouldn’t shamelessly keep prying.

Later, when they found out the truth, what could be done? Everything was set up, were they still going to insist on squeezing themselves in?

But Zhao Guangran this kid just didn’t follow the script, now only they felt regretful.

Seeing Zhao Guangran anxious, made Zhao Gang pleased, "It’s not a small business, definitely a big one."

"Yes." Gong Tao and Zhao Gang were both supportive, indicating they wanted to get involved.

Zhao Xuran didn’t intend to hide it from them anyway, since his dad knew, "Planning to open a small Cantonese restaurant."

Ah, sell food from Yangcheng? Can that stuff be sold here? Zhao Gang and Gong Tao’s first thought.

Zhan Jing recalled some Yangcheng foods Ni Zi made before, although she wasn’t particularly fond of them, there were a few she liked, "Mango pancakes and milk tea?"

"Yes, yes." Cai Meina also loved those flavors, "But they won’t be cheap to make." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yangcheng had good sales, aside from the locals liking them, Yangcheng was wealthy, so they could afford it.

The question was, while Yangcheng people could afford it, would people in Beijing like them?

Zhao Gang and Gong Tao thought about it; since the kids didn’t want them to invest, they wouldn’t. Let’s see how they handle it.

Zhao Guangran was previously thinking about how to persuade Zhao Gang not to jump into investment whenever they wanted.

Unexpectedly, they stopped just like that; is it because they don’t believe in the business?

This dampened Zhao Guangran’s mood; they had planned for a long time and hadn’t even opened the store yet before receiving a cold shower.
