Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo lingered at Little Yuās house for half a day before leaving. After tasting Little Yuās handiwork, Cheng Su gave a firm nod of approval; the buns were indeed delicious, with finely chopped fillings and delicious meat juices running out, and the texture of the steamed buns was particularly chewy. With such skill, opening a bun shop would not be a problem; at least it could sustain a livelihood.
Cheng Su left three hundred yuan in one go as investment capital for Little Yu.
"Isnāt that too much?" Little Yu felt that the few hundred yuan were a bit overwhelming and added, "I donāt even know how to write that share agreement." "Sister-in-law, just write it however you want. If you donāt write it, just consider it as us lending it to you, and pay it back when you have the money," Cheng Su said.
"It definitely needs to be written," Little Yu quickly replied.
"Then just write it casually, give me ten or twenty percent, whatever you like," Cheng Su said nonchalantly.
Little Yu furrowed her brow.
Cheng Su didnāt mind, handing over a sheet of paper: "Sister-in-law, this is the shop opening process and advice I wrote for you. Take a look at it, if thereās anything you donāt understand, you can call me to ask. Iāve given the money, sister-in-law, the rest is up to you!"
Little Yu received the piece of paper like a treasure, saying, "I will."
"Well, weāre off!" Qi Taiguo said.
Little Yu responded softly, escorting them downstairs, all the way to the station, and only left after watching their car depart.
"Are you tired?" Qi Taiguo tilted Cheng Suās head onto his shoulder.
"Not really, I just ate and drank, not tiring at all," Cheng Su said with a smile.
"Shall we take a nap? The road is still long."
Cheng Su shook her head: "Itās already late, if we sleep now, we might not be able to sleep tonight, letās talk!"
"Alright!" Qi Taiguo adjusted his position to make her lean more comfortably.
"Taiguo, do you have any concerns? I only gave money to help Sister-in-law open the shop, but didnāt tell her how to manage and run it, leaving her to figure it out herself," Cheng Su asked.
Qi Taiguo chuckled and said, "You always have your deep intentions when doing things, and I believe theyāre for the best."
Cheng Su hummed in agreement and said, "Actually, itās not that I donāt want to help her run the shop, but things that come too easily arenāt cherished. I want her to explore and experience it herself, to understand that doing business is not easy. When she invests her efforts into creating and managing her business, she will cherish every step sheās taken in the future."
Qi Taiguo squeezed her hand and said, "I understand!"
"In truth, only after actually diving into a business do you realize how challenging it is, waking up early and staying up late, exhausting every effort to control costs. Running a business is akin to raising a child, requiring an immense amount of energy and effort, itās not easy!" Cheng Su reflected on her own journey, sighing softly.
The hardest times were when she had to make breakfast, getting up alone in the darkness at four or five in the morning to busy herself in the shop, and the same going for making jam, with constant bustling.
"At that time, you must have been very tired, Iām sorry I couldnāt help you!" Qi Taiguo apologized.
"Tired!" Cheng Su smiled lightly and said, "But the achievements I have today prove that what I gave back then was worthwhile."
"Dear, Iām proud of you," Qi Taiguo held her hand and kissed it gently.
No one succeeds by mere chance; behind each personās brilliance lies a lot of effort. Cheng Su hopes Little Yu understands this and thus cherishes the opportunity.
