The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Wanyue shook the key in her hand, "Why don't we just go in and take a look?"

"Don't tell me you've already rented this place?" Shen Cao was somewhat shocked. People from the capital are all so efficient.

"Rent? I'll buy this place."

Shen Cao almost choked on her breath; she had actually bought this place.

She had secretly inquired about the price here beforehand, and she originally thought she could rent it within a year.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't even afford the rent, let alone buy it.

When did you buy it?

"Just a few days ago."

Shen Cao looked around the interior of the building; the layout clearly showed that it used to be a restaurant.

The decor was clearly better than the Zuixianlou across the street, but I don't know why it closed down.

The two walked around for a while, and Shen Cao liked the place more and more. It was indeed a place she had her eye on for a long time, and the layout didn't need any major changes.

Moreover, each floor is designed very reasonably, with separate areas for guests to go up and leave. The third and fourth floors are private rooms, and the layout of the private rooms is completely different for each level.

Everywhere you look, you can tell that the former boss was very wealthy.

"How is it, Sister Cao'er? I feel like this place just needs a good cleaning. It used to be a restaurant, and it still has tables and chairs."

"The key point is that this place is located in the center of the entire Xin'an County. Look at that Zuixianlou restaurant across the street, the food is so bad, yet it still has so many customers."

"It's impossible for us not to make money here."

Shen Cao looked at the endless stream of people at the entrance of Zuixianlou across the street and completely agreed with Wanyue's words.

However, doing business is not a game, and there's no guarantee that you'll make money.

Just like here, although you can see the prosperity of the past, it is now covered in dust.

She spoke to Wanyue very seriously, "Wanyue, you need to understand that doing business is not a game."

Wanyue nodded, "I know, Sister Cao'er."

"What I said before wasn't meant to persuade you to say those things on purpose."

"I really want to do something well."

"When I saw my cousin and Wei Siyu, and especially you, Sister Cao'er, discussing things together in the study, I was very envious watching from outside."

"Before I came to Xin'an County, I always thought that doing business was only a man's business."

"As a woman, all you need to do is know how to spend money, be reasonable, and stay in your boudoir."

"But when I saw you doing business with my cousins ​​and heard that you had changed the fate of your entire family all by yourself, I realized how ridiculous my previous thoughts were."

"Who says women can only stay in their boudoirs? Women can do business just like men."

"They can also become the pillars of their families."

"It can even protect your family and become their support."

"I also want to be like Sister Cao'er."

"So, I thought about this for a long time before making this decision."

Shen Cao was shocked to hear Wan Yue's words; she couldn't believe Wan Yue had such thoughts.

Although the present era is not as feudal as the Song and Qing dynasties of the past, the whole society still emphasizes that men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs.

While there are women like Shen Cao who openly engage in business, their future marriage prospects will certainly be affected.

Shen Cao had never considered that kind of thing, so she didn't care. She didn't expect the princess to think of her that way.

"However, this woman will inevitably face some difficulties in doing business." This is one of the reasons why she wants to cooperate with Shen Yu'an and the others.

Women in business inevitably face disdain from their peers, and may even face greater difficulties than men.

She is still relatively inexperienced and can only rely on others.

Wanyue was a little confused. "What's so difficult about it?"

"Never mind." Shen Cao thought for a moment; these problems could all be solved.

"We'll talk about those difficulties later."

"I need to tell you in advance that there is no such thing as making money without losing money in business."

"And since we're doing business together, you can't just be a hands-off manager. There are some things you need to know."

“Some things we need to decide together, not just on my own.” Her main concern was that if the little girl were to be completely handed over to her in the future, and if problems arose in the business, the girl might break off their friendship, which would be a huge loss.

She really liked this little girl who always clung to her side and sweetly called her "Sister Grass".

"Of course, if I were to become a hands-off manager, how could I grow?"

"Don't worry, Sister Cao'er."

"That's fine."

Wanyue was overjoyed, "Sister Cao'er, does this mean you've agreed to do business with me?"

"Of course! It would be foolish not to seize such a great opportunity!"

Wanyue grabbed Shen Cao's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's a good opportunity for me too. Hehe."

"Gurgle!" Suddenly a sound came from Wanyue's side. There were only four of them in the shop now, so the sound was particularly noticeable.

Wanyue blushed and was too embarrassed to speak, "I was afraid that Sister Cao'er wouldn't agree, so I've been thinking about how to persuade you since early this morning, and I haven't eaten since."

Shen Cao gently poked her forehead with her finger, "You! From now on, no matter what happens, you can't forget to eat."

"Nothing is more important than your own health."

Wanyue shook Shen Cao's hand, "Sister Cao'er, I understand."

"Alright, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when we get back."

"Sister Grass is the best."

"I'm getting a bit tired of eating meat for two days in a row. I want to eat something vegetarian, but still flavorful."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cao realized that the child had the same idea as her. She had been craving hot and sour shredded potatoes since she woke up today, and had specifically asked Li Xiaoyu to cut some for her.

She pulled Wanyue's hand over and said, "Come on, let's go back and I'll make you some hot and sour shredded potatoes."

When the two returned home, Shen Yu'an and Wei Siyu had already eaten.

When Wei Siyu saw the two of them running back hand in hand, skipping and hopping, she was very curious about what they had been doing that day.

"You all seem so happy, where did you go?"

Wanyue glanced at him. "I'm not telling you. This is our secret, hmph!"

Wei Siyu was turned away, so he turned to Shen Yu'an and said, "Look, when did these two become so close?"

"They even have little secrets now."

As Shen Yu'an watched Wan Yue and Shen Cao's retreating figures, he had a feeling that the secret between the two of them was related to the building that Wan Yue had bought from him a few days ago.

He originally planned to use that building to open a restaurant, but a few days ago the housekeeper told him that someone wanted to buy it for a high price.

When he went to take a look, he found that it was Wanyue who wanted to buy it.

When asked what she was doing, she wouldn't say, only that she had something important to buy.

He said he would give it to her, but the girl insisted that she buy it herself, and that it cost 30% more than the original price.

I remember the moment she received the land deed, and the words she said to me, "I can't let you make a losing deal."

He was surprised to find that his cousin had grown up and was now able to consider others.
