Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten Chapter 645 - 647: Every Little Bit Counts

Gong Jiaming always thought Gong Ruini was just busy studying and then going to the Northeast during sumr vacation to make money collecting herbs.

He didn’t expect that she had a new business, "Are you planning to rent out these books?"

Gong Jiaming knew Gong Ruini read a lot of books, otherwise she wouldn’t know so much. Even though he was ntally prepared, he was stunned when he saw Gong Ruini’s collection of books.

Two large rooms lined with big bookshelves along the walls, and the shelves were almost full.

Gong Jiaming wasn’t interested in those heavy tos; he preferred comic books.

"So many comic books." Gong Jiaming’s mouth dropped wide open. Good heavens, the comic books he’d read probably aren’t even one percent of the collection here with Gong Ruini.

"Wow, I want to read, I want to read." Gong Jiaming didn’t care how big the rooms were or how nice the garden was. To him, this wasn’t his ho, and seeing it was enough.

But so many comic books, he could go back and tell his friends the stories from these books, and they would be left in awe.

Thinking about becoming the center of attention upon returning, Gong Jiaming was so tempted by these books. No way, since he ca here, he couldn’t just pass up these books.

"Ni Zi, can I read them?" Gong Jiaming asked cautiously.

"Of course you can." Gong Ruini waved her hand grandly, not wanting to miss out on such good labor, "But you have to help move these books to the room by the door."

That room was previously renovated with the help of Gong Tao and the gang, using old furniture they acquired to create remodeled benches and chairs. In short, a small book rental place was thus set up.

Now what Gong Ruini and the others needed to do was move these books over, which was quite a big task.

Ah, why move these books to the entrance? Gong Jiaming didn’t quite understand why, "Why move them, isn’t here good?"

"What’s good about it? It doesn’t make us money. Imagine how much we spent buying these books." Zhao Guangran had been eagerly waiting to recoup the money spent on buying books.

"Aren’t we making money to buy comic books?" Gazing at so many comic books, Gong Jiaming had only one thought: if he could buy comic books like Ni Zi and the others, wouldn’t it be great?

Sadly, it was just a thought. The family wouldn’t agree, and even though they might leave them so pocket money afterward, it couldn’t just be spent recklessly.

"Buying comic books can make money too. Don’t you know these books can be rented out?" Zhao Guangran comnted, implying that his friend’s brain wasn’t quite up to par.

Zhao Guangran was relieved this boy wasn’t always in Beijing; otherwise, he might have been made dumb. Heaven knows he’s already a bit dull, and getting dumber without knowing how to make money would be looked down upon.

Ah, renting out comic books? "Can it make money?" No sooner had Gong Jiaming asked the question than he realized he was overthinking it.

If it didn’t make money, would Gong Ruini and the others bother with such a laborious, unrewarding task?

Having spent ti with them these days, he knew if there wasn’t money to be made, Gong Ruini and the others definitely wouldn’t be doing sothing so thankless.

"Sis, what do you think if we go back and also buy comic books and rent them out to make money?" It seed he really was a bit slow. When Gong Ruini ntioned it before, he was sowhat unconvinced.

He always thought that because he stayed in a small place for a long ti, he simply didn’t pay much attention to these things. Now he realized it wasn’t about the small place but his lack of attention.

"Sure." Previously trying various ways to make money, Gong Jiaxin didn’t want to return to days without money, but she was also confused about what to do afterward.

As for this idea, it was really good. "We can read comic books and also make money."

"Exactly." A consolidated suggestion sounded nice. Later, they could also go to the recycling center to acquire such books and then charge rent. Anyway, many read comic books, so they wouldn’t cherish them too much.

anwhile, they could use limited funds to earn more money.

Gong Jiaming and Gong Jiaxin carried books while discussing things. To them, renting books seed pretty straightforward, sothing easily profitable.

But upon entering the place designated by Gong Ruini, they were shocked, "Is this where you’ll let people rent and read books?"

Oh my, Gong Jiaming clicked his tongue. There were tables and benches; this treatnt was too good. If they did the sa back ho, where would they find a house?

And where to get such furniture? Even if it’s old, it costs money, not to ntion hiring soone to fix it also costs money.

Gong Jiaming calculated that the investnt definitely surpassed the cost of buying books. He had no idea how much total investnt was required.

So much investnt, their parents might not agree, and even Gong Jiaming himself wouldn’t want to.

Gong Jiaxin was equally surprised. Wasn’t it said that Gong Ruini and her friends were staying at soone’s house? How could they manage to open a book rental here? Even if it’s in the house by the gate, it would be bustling with various people coming and going.

"Ni Zi, is it okay to open a book rental here?" Gong Jiaxin worried that Gong Ruini and the others might upset Zhuge Zhi.

"Don’t worry. Grandpa Zhuge supports it. Planning to open one when you go back as well?" Earlier, Gong Jiaming seed captivated by the idea.

Open one? Gong Jiaxin shook her head with a wry smile. Gong Ruini and friends were privileged to be so willful, but she and her brother couldn’t afford it. Even if they spent money they earned, so many eyes would be watching.

Any slight move would surely be scrutinized, "Forget it, let’s focus on reviewing our lessons seriously."

"After all, we need to get into Jing University." Gong Jiaxin felt sowhat disappointed but had no other choice.

Just giving up like that? Gong Ruini glanced at Gong Jiaming, whose head was bowed, feeling sad maybe? Gong Ruini wasn’t sure, but he probably wouldn’t give up that easily.

Gong Ruini thought as long as the business did well, it would definitely reignite Gong Jiaming’s interest in it.

Although there were quite a few books, due to the help from others, after most books were moved, Gong Ruini pasted a specially prepared notice at the door.

Going closer to look, Gong Jiaming didn’t understand why the notice was written like that. What’s going on, how could it be so willful?

Noticing his brother’s conflicted face, the first thought in Gong Jiaxin’s mind was, wouldn’t thinking rent would be quick?

Upon seeing it, she was also stunned, "Ni Zi, this notice of yours."

"No problem, no problem." Gong Ruini knew they found it strange. Maybe so would say she’s silly, but she really wasn’t worried.
