Chapter 330: Chapter 197: Reunion at East Lake Villa

Morning.

Chen Feng woke up to the rustling sound of rain outside the window, and the woman who had originally been sleeping beside him was already gone. However, he could smell the aroma of fried eggs wafting up from downstairs, so presumably, the woman was downstairs making breakfast for him.

He picked up his phone from the bedside table to check the time; it was a little past eight in the morning, so he turned over and got out of bed.

After freshening up, he went downstairs to have breakfast with Sun Xiaorui, and then the two sat on the living room sofa chatting about what they did over the New Year.

Sun Xiaorui did not bring up how she had been declined a few times when she wanted to visit his hometown. She merely spoke of some amusing incidents she encountered during the New Year in her hometown, as well as matters concerning her family.

Currently, her father’s condition was basically stable, although he wasn’t very mobile and needed the assistance of a wheelchair. He could still speak fairly clearly, and his mind was sharp. However, given that her mother’s health was also not very good, they still had a relative at home acting as a housekeeper.

Generally, her father’s pension was enough to cover the housekeeper’s costs, along with their daily household expenses.

However, this meant that her brother’s university fees would need to be taken care of by her, as his sister.

Her brother, understanding the situation, expressed that he would work part-time while studying, striving to be self-sufficient.

Due to these circumstances, she wanted to find a part-time job here in Xiu Zhou to increase her income, just to be prepared for any unexpected needs.

In fact, her current monthly "salary" of fifty thousand was really not low, more than enough to cover her brother’s tuition and her family’s expenses.

But she was also thinking of opening a clothing store here in Xiu Zhou, and after her father’s recent lesson, she wanted to save more money to prepare for unforeseen family needs.

Chen Feng didn’t expect Sun Xiaorui was serious about finding a job, and said somewhat resignedly: "I thought after I talked to you last time, you would give up on the idea of finding a job, but I didn’t expect you still wanted to. All right, I’ll keep my word; I’ll add another ten thousand to your salary. Consider it a bonus for cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning up for me."

"These are things I ought to do. Giving me more money feels weird. I told you before, I’m thinking of finding a job mainly because it’s boring being home alone sometimes. You suggested continuing traveling nationwide, but we can’t do that all year, right? Traveling two or three months a year is enough; we still have to live here in Xiu Zhou the rest of the time. Considering I need to take care of you, I’m planning to find a part-time job, preferably one where I can freely arrange my working hours."

"Why don’t you write online novels with Mengting? The working hours are quite flexible and won’t interfere with taking care of me."

"I can’t write online novels, and besides, I don’t want to be stuck at home all day; I want to go out and work."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng replied irritably: "Then how about doing hourly work?"

Sun Xiaorui laughed and said: "It’s not impossible; doing hourly work can actually earn quite a bit."

"Then go do hourly work." Chen Feng said with a straight face.

Sun Xiaorui chuckled, her soft body leaning into his arms, and said brightly: "What do you think about me doing sales for three to four hours a day? It’s like returning to my roots. I’m familiar with this job, and I also want to further understand the operations of a clothing store through it."

"Are you really that intent on opening a clothing store?" Chen Feng asked her incredulously.

"Of course." Sun Xiaorui nodded affirmatively, "It’s been my dream for many years."

"Alright then." Chen Feng conceded, although a bit reluctantly. Ultimately, he decided to support her, reasoning that he couldn’t justify offering wholehearted help to Lin Yujiao, who had been with him for less than a month, while holding Sun Xiaorui back.

Both are his women, and both want to open clothing stores. It seems there’s indeed a lot of money to be made in this line of work for women.

"Isn’t there an empty shop available? Why don’t you spruce it up and open your clothing store? You don’t have to be a salesperson anymore; you’ve done it long enough to know everything, right? Just be the boss."

"Honey, you’re so good to me." Sun Xiaorui looked up at him, touched, gave Chen Feng a quick kiss, and added, "But I want to open a designer clothing store, not a generic one. The store should ideally be in a large mall or a bustling commercial area."

"So you’re saying you don’t approve of my store?" Chen Feng looked at her, nonplussed.

Sun Xiaorui smiled awkwardly and said, "The location isn’t quite right."

Chen Feng said annoyedly: "What’s with all this brand nonsense? As long as it makes money, that’s what counts. It doesn’t need to be so fancy. I think a generic store could make more money than a brand store."

Sun Xiaorui explained: "It depends on the brand. If it’s something like Nike or Adidas, their stores certainly make more money than generic ones. Of course, I’m planning to open a designer women’s clothing store, aiming for the high-end market, so it makes more sense to be in a major mall."

Chen Feng didn’t want to argue, and simply said: "I won’t interfere. Once you have enough savings, you can open it in a mall yourself."

Sun Xiaorui smiled slyly and said: "You can invest in me; you be the major shareholder, and let me be a minor shareholder. I can guarantee it will make money."

"I’m not that easy to fool. Starting a store is exhausting and the income is slow. If you trust me, you can join me in stock trading and I’ll take you along. Let’s not exaggerate, but you can expect a return of at least twenty to thirty percent in one or two months. Are you willing?"

As someone close to Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui knew he’d made a lot of money trading stocks. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but feel tempted and quickly asked: "Can you guarantee a twenty to thirty percent profit on every investment?"
