Chapter 791: Chapter 760 Planning, Persuasion_1

She loved music and wanted to make her mark in it, but she loved her husband, couldn’t bear to part with her child, and couldn’t stand the thought of going to Yanjing alone.

"Xiao Yan has always been conflicted." Niu Dajun said, "Recently, I’ve been considering this matter and thinking about accompanying Xiao Yan to take the exams in Yanjing."

"What if you pass?" He Tiantian asked, "Will you live separately in two places?"

Niu Dajun shook his head and said, "Of course not! If Xiao Yan can get into the music academy next year, I’ll take our child and go to Yanjing. By then, I can start a business, and the child will be old enough for elementary school. Anyway, it’s important that the family stays together."

He Tiantian listened and felt moved, Niu Dajun really loved Qi Xiaoyan very much and was willing to leave his hometown for the sake of her dreams.

"Since Brother Dajun has already agreed to go with you to Yanjing and support your dreams and career, why aren’t you happy?" He Tiantian asked, logically, Qi Xiaoyan should be happy.

"Ah!" Qi Xiaoyan sighed, "I am touched, but if Brother Dajun comes with me to Yanjing, then the business we’ve worked so hard to build at home would be wasted."

"Hehe!" He Tiantian laughed, "You don’t have to worry about that, have you forgotten that Yanjing is the Huo Family’s stronghold?"

With the Huo Family’s support, their shop in Yanjing could have a solid foundation.

Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Tiantian, you’re the best. If we go to Yanjing, we don’t need to monopolize the business, but we can form a partnership. My husband and I have saved some money, and Brother Dajun can help you out, how about we expand our shop to Yanjing?"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Sure, I’ve been wanting to open a shop in Yanjing, but I haven’t found the right person, so I haven’t acted on it. If it’s Brother Dajun, I’m naturally willing."

Niu Dajun, excited, said: "Tiantian, Yingjie, thank you for your trust, I definitely won’t let you down."

Niu Dajun could see now that having money wasn’t enough, one also needed influence to open a shop in Yanjing.

"These matters are all managed by Tiantian, I’m not involved." Huo Yingjie said, "But rest assured, no one will come looking for trouble if you open a shop in Yanjing, I can guarantee that. Plus, I have some connections in Yanjing that I could introduce to you when the time comes."

"Thank you," Niu Dajun said.

"Okay, Brother Dajun, I’ve accepted your proposal," He Tiantian said. "You don’t have to worry about anything. Xiao Yan, you can focus on your studies and try your best to get in. Even if you don’t get in, it’s not a big deal, once Brother Dajun’s business stabilizes, you can always seek out a teacher!"

Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes shone with determination, and after a moment’s thought, she said, "Brother Dajun, let’s earn money for another half year, and after the New Year, we can go to Yanjing for the exams. With Professor Chang’s recommendation, I should be able to get in. Sister Tiantian, does that sound good?"

"I’m not in a rush here, follow your own plan," He Tiantian said. With this plan in place, when Elder Auntie Song Chunli asked during the New Year, she would finally have a positive answer.

Sometimes He Tiantian genuinely worried that Song Chunli, not getting a reply from her, might overthink things and become petty, which could affect family relations.

"Thank you, Sister Tiantian," Qi Xiaoyan said, "I will work hard."

"If we’re all doing well, that’s better than anything," He Tiantian said. "By the way, if you go to Yanjing, who will take care of the Taoyuan County shop?"

Qi Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Brother Dajun is the only one in his family, so we’re thinking of leaving it to Sister Lili, big brother, and sister-in-law. They’ve been helping out in the shop for over a year now. But don’t worry, Sister Tiantian, your thirty percent profit won’t be lessened; we’ll ensure it’s delivered to you on time."

"Yeah, I believe that." He Tiantian nodded, her authorization to Niu Dajun covered only Huai City, a small area that was easy to control.

Just a single trip to Nan City had solved the problem, and Qi Xiaoyan was all smiles.

"Oh my, Sister Tiantian, if I become a singer, then you’ll be the best friend of a singer," Qi Xiaoyan said with a laugh, "Then, if your school needs to hold a gala, or your shop has an anniversary celebration or something, I can come over to help out directly."

He Tiantian laughed and said, "Then I’ll thank the future singer in advance!"

"No problem, no problem," Qi Xiaoyan joked, "after all, we are good sisters!"

"Alright, Brother Dajun is so supportive of you, you also need to be attentive and understanding towards him, you can’t be willful," He Tiantian advised, knowing that although Qi Xiaoyan normally had a good temper, she could be as stubborn as a mule once she dug her heels in.

"Hehe!" Niu Dajun beamed with happiness, "Xiao Yan is really great!"

Qi Xiaoyan shrugged her shoulders and said, "See, even Brother Dajun says I’m great."

"Fine," He Tiantian rolled her eyes, "blame me for being nosy!"

"Not at all!" Niu Dajun said, "I know you want the best for us, I’m well aware of that in my heart!"

"Enough of that, let’s not sit around anymore. Brother Yingjie, Brother Dajun, you two look after the kids and help entertain the elders at home. Xiao Yan and I are going to buy groceries, and we’ll cook when we get back." He Tiantian checked the time, knowing they couldn’t chat any longer, or they would miss lunch.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Sure, the house is in my hands!"

Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian took their baskets and went to the nearby farmers’ market to buy vegetables.

"Sister Tiantian, you’ve been married for so many years, yet you’re still so close," Qi Xiaoyan said with a hint of envy.

"Brother Dajun is also really good, he adores you just as much," He Tiantian said, "Don’t be ungrateful, always thinking the grass is greener on the other side!"

"Brother Dajun is really good, but he’s a bit too plain," Qi Xiaoyan said regretfully, "If only he could be a bit more affectionate."

Hearing Qi Xiaoyan’s words, He Tiantian hesitated but felt she still needed to give her a ’vaccine,’ and said, "Xiao Yan, contentment brings happiness. You see Brother Yingjie’s strengths, but you don’t see his flaws. Similarly, as you live together longer, you’ve seen Brother Dajun’s flaws, and you might even unintentionally forget his strengths, which is wrong. Later, when you participate in performances or competitions, you’ll meet many handsome, charming men. If you don’t hold on to your true feelings, it will eventually affect your love!"

Qi Xiaoyan was stunned, taken aback by He Tiantian’s words, then smiled and said, "Sister Tiantian, Brother Dajun and I are doing well. I might complain verbally, but I truly love him in my heart. Aside from my father, he’s the best man to me."

"That’s good, always remember what I’ve told you," He Tiantian said, "Think about how many sacrifices Brother Dajun has made to be with you, you can’t be heartless."

"I know, Sister Tiantian," Qi Xiaoyan replied, "I’m not the kind of woman who’s fickle or disloyal."

"If you were that kind of woman, I’d be the first to cut ties with you," He Tiantian said, because even the most beautiful love can become mundane due to everyday life.

What’s called a change of heart is nothing more than forgetting the initial vows and intentions and not wanting to continue persevering.
