Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 229 - 104: Huang Panpan, Keep Going Today! (Part 2)

It seems that what I was worried about hasn’t happened.

My son, Shiyi, and Qin Shiqing went to play at West Lake, they met up during Christmas too. Their relationship is still close, even showing signs of progressing further, which naturally makes Granny Su very happy.

She chatted with Su Zelin a bit, and then Su Jianjun joined the conversation.

"Son, during the holiday you mentioned starting a business once you get to university, how’s that going?"

Apart from Su Zelin’s relationship issues, Su dad also cares about his son’s career.

After all, without some career prospects, it’s hard to be a good match for the Qin family’s daughter.

"Dad, I’m observing the situation, looking for suitable business opportunities on campus."

Su Zelin didn’t tell the truth.

He plans to surprise his parents once the digital store is up and running.

"Yes, it’s best to observe first, no need to rush. The businesses capable of making money on campus are mostly monopolized by leaders unless you have some connections, it’s tough to do anything! If you’re just tinkering around, investing casually, it’s fine. Whether you make money or not doesn’t matter, the key is to try and learn management."

Su Jianjun, being in business for so long, has good insights, and understands the interests at play within a university campus. He gives Zelin a heads-up to avoid his son losing confidence from a business failure.

Of course, he hasn’t realized that Zelin is already in the game, and it’s no small matter!

"Yep, dad, I understand!"

On the surface, Su Zelin appears compliant, but inwardly he chuckles.

If dad knew I’ve set up a digital store investing over a hundred thousand, he’d probably jump up on the spot.

Plus, I do have connections at the finance institute, even getting a link to the deputy dean.

"Son, there’s no rush about starting a business, having the motivation is enough. You should focus on studying well, and as class president, you should set an example for the class. Thinking about business all the time, what would the class director, mentor, and classmates think?"

Between his son’s business and education, Zhao Lixia leans more towards the latter, thus Granny Su doesn’t want Zelin to spend his time and energy elsewhere as soon as he gets into university.

"Alright, alright, I got it, dad, mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now, okay, bye-bye!"

Before Zhao Lixia could react, Zelin quickly hung up the phone, knowing his mom could continue lecturing for much longer.

"This child, really, can’t even stay on a call for a bit longer, but then again, Jianjun, how come our son has become so sensible and accomplished all of a sudden since he went to university?"

"Haha, Lixia, some people just need to reach university, or even get into society before they truly start to understand things. Zelin is smart, he has his plans, so stop worrying so much!"

"Sigh, our son has grown up, has his world, sometimes we old folks just can’t figure out his thoughts."

...

The day after Christmas, the weekend also arrived.

Faculty dormitories at the Institute of Finance.

Su Zelin was once again invited to Dai Chuangxing’s home for dinner.

Of course, it wasn’t just a simple meal.

The digital store would open in a few days, so Kang Yulian wanted to casually chat with him.

After all, they have mutual interests, and even if she isn’t directly involved in the business, she should at least show some concern.

Apart from Su Zelin, Kang Baohong also came.

The deputy dean and his wife only have one daughter who went off to university, so they are often alone at home, feeling quite lonely.

Dai Chuangxing, being the only successor in three generations, has no other relatives, so Kang Yulian has kept close ties with her maternal family here. Now, with a nephew making a living in Lin’an and becoming her confidant, she often invites him over for meals.

Dai Chuangxing spoke little, while Kang Yulian was quite lively, bringing up the topic of the digital store during dinner: "Baohong, New Year’s Day is just a few days away; the digital store is about to open, is everything ready?"

"Auntie, rest assured with me handling it!"

Kang Baohong immediately swallowed the mouthful of rice: "Everything is perfectly ready, stock is filled up, employees are hired, and they are being trained whenever there’s time. Everything’s all set, just waiting for the final push!"

Having a boss who is wealthy, decisive, and straightforward is a relief. If it were a penny-pinching boss, all your passion would be futile, with no avenue to showcase it.

Kang Yulian nodded slightly: "I heard the digital store is getting a lot of attention, and many are waiting for the opening. Still, marketing is crucial in business. Especially since the location is a bit off from the main campus commercial area, I think holding an event for the New Year’s Day opening could attract more people, but that’s just a suggestion!"

"Haha, Auntie, the store’s location may not be the best, but as Mr. Su said, everything has dual aspects!"

Kang Baohong smiled slightly: "The store not being in a prime commercial area has its perks; the surroundings are open, ideal for any event, unlike the commercial zone where setting up a promo table slightly out of line could cause issues with adjacent shops!"

Dai Chuangxing nodded.

"Everything has two sides," is a saying many have heard, yet few truly understand and utilize it.
