Bai Xiaotong and Tang Rao ca from the sa place. She could accept so new ideas pretty quickly as well, and seeing how confident Tang Rao was, Bai Xiaotong felt that if she didn't agree, she'd almost be letting down Tang Rao's wholehearted goodwill toward her.
"Give the most prosperous, best location. Warm Fragrance Lane is a business I've poured my heart and soul into. If I listen to you and sothing goes wrong in the middle, I'll hold you responsible."
That was what Bai Xiaotong said out loud, but in her heart she'd basically already accepted Tang Rao's plan.
Warm Fragrance Lane and Kao Shan Shop, the two major businesses Tang Rao valued most, had already completely decided to move to Kao Shan Road and form a new economic zone there.
As for the remaining territory, what to do with it—open a small internet café with so single-player gas, then a little bar selling beer, a small tobacco shop to teach these people how to smoke, how cool would that be. Oh, right, and those costics won like to buy. Tang Rao believed that as long as these few shops opened on Kao Shan Road, business would definitely be solid and real.
Ever since Zhang Kexin was favored, she hadn't been as lively as she used to be.
The other sisters all managed to find things they liked doing; only Zhang Kexin seed to have even forgotten what she herself liked most.
Once upon a ti, her goal, her dream, was to find Tang Rao, marry Tang Rao, and beco Tang Rao's woman. Now all those goals and dreams had co true, but after they ca true, she seed to have turned into a useless person, spending all her ti waiting for Tang Rao to co to her. Unfortunately, after that night, Tang Rao hadn't even co back to the Kao Shan Sect, let alone co looking for Zhang Kexin.
Bei Lin was a good sister that Zhang Kexin genuinely acknowledged from the bottom of her heart. The two of them had followed Tang Rao together. Strictly speaking, the fact that Zhang Kexin could be taken in as Tang Rao's wife was thanks to Bei Lin as well. She figured if she was missing Tang Rao, then Bei Lin definitely missed him too. The more it was at tis like this, the more the two sisters needed to huddle together for warmth. Otherwise, having married into the Kao Shan Sect, there would be plenty of hard days ahead.
"Sister Bei Lin, do you know where Tang Rao has been lately?" Zhang Kexin asked bluntly.
She never felt she needed to hide anything in front of Bei Lin.
"If you've got nothing to do, you can pay attention to the news in Illusion City. As long as you look carefully, how could you not know where he's gone?"
Bei Lin didn't answer her directly, but gave Zhang Kexin a better way to know where Tang Rao was.
This thod worked for now and would work in the future too.
Illusion City, huh?
Zhang Kexin actually didn't like using Illusion City. There was too much information in there; just reading all that every day was enough to make her head swell. But for Tang Rao's sake, those things she hadn't wanted to try before weren't necessarily things she couldn't give a try.
After listening to Bei Lin, Zhang Kexin really did log into Illusion City, searched for the posts Tang Rao had made, and once she compiled them together, the system imdiately analyzed that Tang Rao was busy on Kao Shan Road. He'd even opened up access so Zhang Kexin could see, through video, how busy he was right now.
"He hasn't co back for several days. I don't even know if he misses us or not. Sister Bei Lin, I want to go there and keep him company."
From the back, Tang Rao looked a bit tired, but you could still tell that even though he'd spent a huge amount of ti on this, he didn't feel tired at all.
His dream was making his energy and spirit grow stronger and stronger.
"You want to keep him company? Tang Rao is busy. You going there won't help; you'd be better off staying at ho so you don't go over and just add to the trouble."
Bei Lin didn't show any rcy. Exactly because she understood Zhang Kexin's temperant, she was even less willing to indulge her.
"Sister Bei Lin, I just want to be with Tang Rao. Even if I only watch him from a distance, I'd be content."
The plea in Zhang Kexin's voice was sothing that would have already softened anyone else's heart by now.
"If you'll listen to , then don't go. There are plenty of won who worry about Tang Rao and treat him well. Why can they stay at ho instead of going there to get in the way? Do you really not understand that in your heart at all?"
They all knew perfectly well that when Tang Rao was doing serious work, he didn't like others disturbing him. If Zhang Kexin went to bother him at a ti like this and he happened to be in a bad mood, and he gave her a slap on the wrist to put her in her place, or just lost his good impression of her, was that the result Zhang Kexin wanted?
No. As Zhang Kexin's good sister, having watched Zhang Kexin like Tang Rao all the way, and watched their love finally co to fruition, she didn't want to see the relationship they'd worked so hard to build suddenly burst like a bubble.
"I'm sorry, Sister Bei Lin."
Zhang Kexin lowered her head. She slowly chewed over Bei Lin's words and felt that what Bei Lin said really did make sense. Only then did she give up on the idea of going to see Tang Rao.
"If you've got ti to think about going to see Tang Rao, I think you should be thinking about whether you plan to get involved in any of his many businesses. I heard that in his businesses, won can all take part. The projects he listed earlier don't interest , and I've already told Tang Rao what I want to do. But you—just looking at the way you are, I can already guess you haven't taken this matter to heart at all."
Uh?
Zhang Kexin didn't even know whether she should praise Bei Lin or laugh at herself—she'd been read like an open book.
Although Tang Rao had already repeated it several tis in Illusion City and in the group chat for the won around him: as long as soone wanted to do business, they could pick one of the projects he'd listed that they were good at. The profit would be theirs, and the cost would be covered by him.
If such generous terms were offered to outsiders, people outside would go crazy grabbing at the chance. Even if Tang Rao didn't front the capital, as long as he gave them a supply channel, they would be over the moon. Yet his own won just took one look at the project list, and that was it—no follow-up at all.
"I did look at it, but I don't know how to do a single one of the things he ntioned. Even if I wanted to sign up, I wouldn't know what I could do."
In the Zhang Family, besides making trouble, Zhang Kexin really didn't have much actual skill. Being this straightforward in telling Bei Lin what was in her heart made Bei Lin almost want to crack open Zhang Kexin's skull to see if her brain was stuffed full of dry grass.
"Grandpa Zhang and your brother gave you so many chances to study, and you just didn't cherish them. All their nurturing went to waste. And now look—when you actually need real skills, you suddenly realize you're no good at this and no good at that?"
Bei Lin's words were harsh, but in her heart she was already thinking on Zhang Kexin's behalf, wondering what kind of work Zhang Kexin would actually be interested in and willing to work hard at.
"If I'd known marrying Tang Rao would take so many skills, I would've listened to my brother and grandpa back then. Now it's too late to regret it."
