Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 64_1

Huang Dapeng returned home and immediately noticed something was off with Zhao Aoran, "What’s wrong?"

It felt as though the child had suffered a great blow. He wondered, "Could it be that he lost money on his business trip this time?"

Otherwise, there seemed no reason for such an expression, "It’s okay, losing money is fine too, just take it as a lesson learned."

Huang Dapeng had been through a lot. People say you can make a fortune in business, but in reality, there are quite a few who lose money.

"It’s really not about losing money, but rather that Fan Xiaofei gave me a blow," Zhao Aoran said.

"Of course, it was also a blow to me." Mainly because the shock she gave was somewhat significant; the young man hadn’t gotten over it yet.

A blow to Huang Lei? Huang Dapeng’s first reaction was, "Did he pierce through the topic?"

In the eyes of the elder, it definitely wouldn’t have been Huang Lei who brought it up actively.

"It was me." Did she really come across as that obtuse? She was actually quite perceptive.

Ah, Huang Dapeng was so surprised, "You knew Zhao Aoran liked you?"

"Makes sense, the lad was always good at hiding. It’s normal for you to have found out."

"Right, he didn’t ask why you don’t like him?" Huang Dapeng was really curious.

"I explained a lot." She reiterated her reasons, "And his so-called liking for me, is it really just because of who I am?"

"Could it be that he’s calculating, considering you’re now well-connected in Capital City?"

Sometimes, being too familiar with someone results in no surprise whatsoever.

"The most, most, most important thing is, he wants a gentle and obedient wife. Grandpa, do you think I’m an obedient person?"

"Could I possibly give up my career for a man?"

"Of course, I couldn’t."

"And he’s dominant, so am I not also dominant?"

"Can two dominant people get married?" Huang Lei mentioned something she hadn’t earlier.

Huang Dapeng shook his head, "Impossible." A marriage can continue with one dominant partner.

But if both are dominant, that marriage definitely cannot last.

"I’m not someone who can’t get married – no, that’s not right – I’m not someone who can’t find a suitable man willing to marry into the family. Why would I need to choose Zhao Aoran?"

Huang Dapeng exhaled, "Right, we will definitely find someone more suitable."

Zhao Aoran was not bad, but as Huang Lei had said, it’s not as if suitable men weren’t out there. The reason he seemed acceptable was his capability and familiarity with Huang Lei.

Of course, having no further dealings with the Zhao Family was also a plus, "I’d almost forgotten that the Zhao Family itself poses quite a trouble."

"No rush, I’ll look around to see if there’s anyone suitable, and you should also look at school." Although some educated youths had married, a significant portion had not.

While Huang Dapeng and his wife never pressed for marriage, they were indeed anxious, hoping Huang Lei would marry soon.

They wanted to help while they still could, and it was important for them to see what the future son-in-law would be like and if he would treat Huang Lei well.

Previously, Huang Dapeng thought, no matter what, there would always be Zhao Aoran. His granddaughter wouldn’t need to worry about a thing.

But it turned out Huang Lei wasn’t interested in him, and he wasn’t a good fit for their family, leaving the elder deeply worried about where to start.

Although people constantly introduced potential suitors, not knowing enough about them posed a problem.

Suddenly, the elder became anxious and couldn’t help but sigh, "If we were back in our hometown, introducing one to you wouldn’t be the issue. Ten or eight would be no problem."

The old man really regretted not having thought to carefully consider things back then.

But at that time, no one was willing to date Huang Lei either, and many were quite happy with a "sent-down youth" at the farm.

Even if there were a few willing, Huang Dapeng was not pleased; their intentions were not good.

Forget it, no use dwelling on it now, it’s no use regretting anymore; better to focus on planning for the future.

Zhao Ya had just woken up from her nap when she saw Huang Dapeng’s worried old face and thought it couldn’t possibly be because of a formula dispute.

After Huang Lei joined the medicinal cooking, she developed new products friendly to women, which sold very well and were no worse than the old man’s remedies.

Zhao Ya initially supported Huang Lei just a bit, but she hadn’t expected the results to be so good.

"By the way, little Ya, your Aunt Zhang said she hopes you can prepare some whitening masks for her. She said her daughter has played around all summer vacation and now can’t bear to meet people."

Zhao Ya remembered an errand a familiar person had entrusted her with when she went out to buy groceries today.

With business coming to her, Huang Lei was naturally very happy and immediately said there was no problem.

See, really had to take on more tasks to succeed, taking on more tasks was the way to learn more—otherwise how could she have managed to create so many products.

Huang Lei hurriedly went inside to prepare things, now regretting not having thought to study traditional Chinese medicine.

Even if she didn’t become a doctor, it would have been definitely helpful in her current field.

But no use regretting now, she could only stealthily start self-learning; taking pulses was something she couldn’t learn.

She guessed that even those college students studying Chinese medicine probably couldn’t take pulses, so with that thought, Huang Lei didn’t feel so regretful anymore.

"I still need to read more medical books so I can continue to launch new products."

Some businesses, it’s not that people don’t know about them, but rather they either don’t have the channels or they are too scared to start.

Aunt Zhang also mentioned taking a low-cost route, not really making much profit, just earning a labor fee.

She had also released her recipes already, anyone who knows a bit about Chinese medicine is aware of them, no need to make a profit – let them be busy with it.

But to her surprise, even after giving away the recipes, people still preferred to get the ready-made products.

Huang Lei poked her head out from the room, "Grandpa, Grandma, I think we should consider buying the house next door."

"Then we can hire people to work, or else grinding all these herbs into powder..."

"Our home is too cluttered with stuff, there’s not enough space."

They weren’t in a hurry to buy a house initially because they thought it was spacious enough for living. They never considered opening a private restaurant, so there was no rush to purchase a house.

But who would have guessed that just by making medicinal meals, the business would grow so large.

"Okay," Huang Dapeng thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to buy the house next door, "Right, the house next door has the same layout; why don’t we buy that one too."

Huang Dapeng had an intuition that the business was going to get even bigger. Since that was the case, they should take everything into consideration.

"Do we have enough money?" Huang Lei was stunned for a moment; she originally thought buying just the next-door house would be good enough.

But when the old man made his move, it was extraordinary—he went straight for buying two houses, "Do we have enough money?"

"Buying two houses at once, won’t that attract attention?" Huang Lei worriedly said.

"Don’t worry about the money; we have enough," he reassured.

"Your grandfather can advance some of his salary, as for the houses, they’re not apartment buildings."

These days everyone prefers living in apartment buildings, finding them more convenient; that’s true, but Huang Dapeng enjoyed living in a courtyard house, it was convenient for coming and going, and it was all family.
