Chapter 262 Bet
"Aunt Tong, is it too late for me to learn business now?" Lu Zhaozhao asked nervously.
It’s not that Lu Zhaozhao doesn’t want to do business, nor does he not want to leave home.
She just grew up according to her grandfather's requirements.
If I really followed my grandfather's requirements, how could I fall in love with Gu Jingzhe?
Isn't the first element of being a lady of a noble family to hide your preferences and eliminate all emotions like a snowman?
In this respect, she does not meet the requirements of a woman from a noble family.
It can be seen that Lu Zhaozhao is naturally rebellious.
Han and Tong Huaqiong's words acted as a catalyst, initially prompting Lu Zhaozhao to start his business.
"Why not? Look, your Aunt Tong started her business at this age and she is doing very well. Your Aunt Tong had no capital before. At least you have capital and your own ready-made shop." Han said anxiously.
As soon as Han heard Lu Zhaozhao's words, she knew that Lu Zhaozhao had listened to her.
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
What does this age mean?
Well, since people get married and have children early in this era, as a grandmother, she can indeed be defined as a person of "this age".
"Auntie Han is right. Look at me and my sister-in-law. Our children are already so grown up, but we still follow our mother-in-law to do business. We are doing pretty well." Liu Yue'e said.
Chen Sufen nodded, indicating her agreement with Liu Yue'e.
When Lu Zhaozhao came to the Gu family for the first time, Liu Yue'e envied Lu Zhaozhao's life as a rich girl.
I never have to do any household chores, I wear the best, I use the best things, and my grandfather and brother support me in everything.
Now that Liu Yue'e has gone out and seen the world, she still envies Lu Zhaozhao, but she also sees Lu Zhaozhao's predicament.
Liu Yue'e thought that if she had a family background and money like Lu Zhaozhao, she could be her own boss, wouldn't that be great?
"Sister Tong, what do you think?" Han asked Tong Huaqiong.
Han saw that Lu Zhaozhao was willing to listen to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong said: "That's right, as long as you want, it's never too late to start."
Lu Zhaozhao asked, "Can I? I know nothing about business."
Tong Huaqiong said, "Why not? What's more, you can use an abacus, you're not stupid, and your family has a business atmosphere, so you can learn it. Look at me and your aunt, I rarely even went out of Qinghe Bay before, but I gritted my teeth and did business, and I made it; didn't your aunt go to the county to wash clothes for others and betray your cousin? People are very resilient, as long as you are willing, you can make a name for yourself."
Han looked at Tong Huaqiong with eyes full of admiration.
Just based on Tong Huaqiong's insight, Lu Zhaozhao should listen to her.
When Lu Zhaozhao got Tong Huaqiong's affirmation, his eyes flickered, then suddenly dimmed again, and he said, "Grandpa won't agree."
Gu Taohua took the opportunity to speak up and said, "If he doesn't want to, can't you just make a scene? Anyway, you are his granddaughter, and he loves you so much. You went on a hunger strike and ran away from home, I don't believe he doesn't feel sorry for you. If he feels sorry for you, he will agree."
Lu Zhaozhao looked surprised. She had never thought of making her grandfather sad.
Tong Huaqiong and Han laughed.
The method Gu Taohua mentioned is not unfeasible, it just cannot be used unless necessary.
Han said, "Your grandfather will return to the city before the festival, and I should go see him and talk to him. And your brother, as long as your brother agrees, he can convince your grandfather."
Tong Huaqiong said: "Zhao Zhao, your goal is to do business, not to fight against your grandfather and your brother. Since you want to do business, you must show determination and action, so that your grandfather and brother have confidence in your business, so that you can convince them."
"You have to proceed step by step, don't rush. How about this, you convince your brother first, and tell him that you had an argument with Taohua at my house, and Taohua, relying on her good management of the shop, mocked you as a young lady who knew nothing about business, and you got so angry that you made a bet with Taohua that you would learn to manage the shop and make money, and then Taohua would bow her head and apologize to you. Take down a shop first to test the waters, first to open up your business, and second to see if you really like doing business."
This is a good idea.
Lu Zhaoyang, who loves his sister very much, would surely agree with the playfulness between the little girls.
Don't underestimate a shop, sometimes a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Originally, Tong Huaqiong wanted to say that she was about to open a pastry shop in the capital city, and Lu Zhaozhao could invest some money in it.
After thinking about it, I decided not to get involved too early.
Lu Zhaozhao invested in her shop and could make money, but he would not participate in the management, otherwise he would go back to the mode of being unable to walk upright.
Gu Taohua clapped her hands excitedly and said, "If you put on enough drama, I can also write you a letter to provoke you. You can show the letter to your brother."
Lu Zhaozhao's eyes sparkled.
Based on her understanding of her brother, he would not only agree, but also send the most elite manager in the family to assist her.
How could Lu Zhaoyang's sister fall behind?
Han looked at Tong Huaqiong with more eagerness, and said, "Sister Tong, you are the brain of doing business after all, you have so many clever ways."
This approach will not cause Mr. Lu to rebound.
It was all just a fight between little girls. By the time he reacted, Lu Zhaozhao had probably already taken root in the shop.
By then it would be too late for him to object.
"Taohua, you are the bad person who bullies me in my brother's eyes. I will give you a good gift to compensate you. What do you want?" Lu Zhaozhao asked, holding Gu Taohua's hand.
Gu Taohua smiled and said, "I have always been a bad guy, I don't mind being one again. I don't want any gifts. If you want to repay me, then learn how to do business. My mother always said that most shops are not run by men alone. It is more women who work hard behind the scenes, but it is men who get the fame. I don't want that. I want to stand in front of the stage and be the boss. I'm not kidding you, I'm really making a bet with you, let's see who is better in the business world, you, Lu Zhaozhao, or me, Gu Taohua."
Lu Zhaozhao was inspired and said, "Okay, let's wait and see."
Tong Huaqiong was amused by the behavior of Gu Taohua and Lu Zhaozhao's little daughter.
In their previous lives, both Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Taohua were examples of misfortune. One was more love-brained than the other, and the other regarded men as their heaven. Their final outcomes were more tragic than the other.
I hope that the paths we two walk in this life will be equally broad and that our lives will have equally perfect endings.
"Zhao Zhao, please don't think that your aunt Tong and I encouraged you to do business and disobey your grandfather. Your aunt Tong and I both want you to have more confidence in the future. People can rely on their family to be confident, but the most important thing is to rely on themselves. Don't think that I rely on your cousin now, your cousin also relied on me to support him. Even though your cousin is now a local official, I have bought land in my hometown and registered it in my name. To put it bluntly, even if your cousin has fluctuations in his official career, I am not afraid."
Han was afraid that Lu Zhaozhao might say everything was fine now, but later on she would become confused and feel ungrateful and blame her and Tong Huaqiong.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to reveal her escape route.
Tong Huaqiong admired Han a little. Logically speaking, Lu Zhaozhao was just her cousin. Was it necessary to go to so much trouble to let her learn business and take charge of her own business in the future?
If it weren't for Tong Huaqiong's true love for Lu Zhaozhao, she would have suspected whether Han had some purpose.
Otherwise, who would worry so much about their relatives' children?
