Chapter 622: Chapter 623 Sister Like Mother 40_1

Huang Man packed her bags once again. The New Year festivities were over, and it was time for school to start; naturally, she had to pack her things and return to the city.

Ever since the day Huang Xin spoke harshly in front of Huang Man, he had been thinking about how to get the capital he needed so he could become a big boss.

Unfortunately for him, he racked his brains for a long time but couldn’t come up with any solution. The only option he came up with was to set his sights on Father Huang’s compensation funds.

Zhao Mei hadn’t expected Huang Xin to eye the passbook she held, even contemplating using that money to start a business.

Although she was filled with anticipation for Huang Xin to make a lot of money, it didn’t mean she was willing to hand over her passbook.

This was her security net. If Huang Xin’s venture succeeded, it would of course be great for the whole family to live a better life, but she didn’t dare to think about what the future would hold if the business failed.

Huang Lina watched from the sidelines. If that money were to be used for entrepreneurship, she wanted to start a business too. She had already decided she wanted to open a clothing store.

After much deliberation, if she couldn’t make quick money, why not open a clothing store? That way, she could also have pretty clothes to wear.

Although Huang Man was busy all day outside and returning to grind through practice problems, she knew that Huang Xin was actually planning to use the family’s last bit of savings to start a business.

As for who would win this battle for the last bit of funds, Huang Man didn’t care, considering she had only a few months left before she was going to study abroad.

Whether the money was sufficient or not was their business, "I think that at this point, one should at least get a junior high school diploma,"

"Otherwise, how would you tell others about your credentials?"

"Saying you only graduated from primary school?" Huang Man wasn’t just considering her own needs.

In case the business venture failed, at least with a junior high school diploma, Huang Xin could still go out and find a job.

Otherwise, Huang Xin, who neither wanted to nor could handle physical labor and had no means of doing an easy job, would truly be a complete waste.

Of course, the person in question would never admit it; in his eyes, he was a super-capable individual whose development was merely constrained by his family.

Zhao Mei hadn’t thought that far ahead. Her thought was that they could drag this out. If possible, she hoped to delay until Huang Xin gave up the idea of starting a business.

"Right, no matter what, you must finish junior high school,"

"You need to understand about the nine-year compulsory education." Zhao Mei was Huang Xin’s mother, so she obviously knew about some of his temperaments.

"You also don’t want everyone saying you’re illiterate because you didn’t even finish junior high, do you?"

"Even if you keep shouting about doing business, you need to think about what kind of business you intend to do,"

"And you also need to think about where you’re going to do business," Zhao Mei posed several questions to steady Huang Xin.

Huang Xin may have claimed that he observed a few so-called big bosses, but in truth, he hadn’t decided what kind of business he wanted to do; he was merely attracted by the idea of making money.

This New Year had been frustrating for him, lacking new clothes, snacks, and more importantly, he had no money on hand.

This was intolerable for Huang Xin, who had always been accustomed to having some money. In his eyes, this was the poorest he had ever been.

Now he truly had no interest in working. Irritated by Zhao Mei’s questions, he replied, "I’ll do a food business."

A food business? Street food or opening a restaurant – the former required hard work for modest profits, while the latter necessitated a good chef.

However, hiring a good chef meant spending substantially more money. If the business thrived, the chef would surely ask for a raise, decreasing the restaurant’s profits.

If they didn’t give the chef a raise, the individual would either underperform or simply switch jobs.

The best course of action would have been for Huang Xin to learn to be a chef himself, but becoming a chef is no easy task. It takes at least five to six years of learning. Could Huang Xin really stick with it?

When Zhao Mei heard Huang Xin mention he wanted to do a catering business, she also felt that this business was somewhat reliable.

"Are you planning to do a snack bar or something?" Zhao Mei thought if it was a snack or breakfast shop, the investment wouldn’t be too big, and it could be a consideration.

When Huang Xin heard this, he felt it was the greatest insult, "What snack bar?"

"How much money can you make from something that’s so busy and tiring."

"Since I’ve already decided to go into business, of course, it has to be a big investment. I’ve thought it over, opening a restaurant, and it must be a big investment."

"That way, there’s no worry about not having a place to entertain a large number of guests." Even a small restaurant comes off as lacking prestige.

"My thought is, yo, if Ah Men doesn’t want to do it, if you really have to do it, then you must do it well, make it big, make it strong."

"Only then can you make more money." Huang Xin didn’t think his idea was far-fetched at all; on the contrary, he believed his approach was correct.

Opening a restaurant? And a big one at that, to make it big and strong, to make more money, Huang Man could only give him a thumbs up, "That’s a good idea."

Someone with no experience, just because they see someone with a low education become a big boss, thinks they can do it too.

Huang Man was really impressed by him; he was so good at dreaming, so full of himself.

Huang Xin didn’t catch the slightest hint of sarcasm in Huang Man’s words.

"I also think it’s good. Mom, look, even sister says it’s good. What are you still considering?" Hair long, but short on sense, such a great idea and creativity, yet still needs to be pondered over and over.

Zhao Mei may have never done business, but she knew a little, "If you’re opening a restaurant, can you cook?"

Cooking? "Isn’t there a chef for that, a waiter for service? Mom, you’ll just collect the money, be in charge of purchasing, and I’ll take care of greeting the guests and such."

Huang Xin had seen the restaurant owners in town, and that’s what they did, many things were simply arranged. It could really be said to be very relaxing.

"You need to hire a chef?" Although Zhao Mei didn’t know how much it would cost to hire a chef, she also knew that if the salary was low, you couldn’t hire a good chef at all.

"If not hiring a chef, whom do you plan to have cook?" Looking at Zhao Mei, then at Huang Man, "Mom, I know sister can cook."

"But she just knows some home-style dishes. For the rest, her skills are really quite average, not enough to be a chef in a restaurant."

Perhaps realizing his words might have been too blunt, Huang Xin tried to soften it a bit, "Sis, you could go learn a thing or two, strive to improve your cooking skills."

"When the business picks up, then you can come work at the shop."

Having one’s own people as chefs is good, at least they do what you tell them without whining and complaining.

And more importantly, Huang Man as a chef wouldn’t ask for too high a salary, otherwise, that would be too greedy.

Even without a day off, she could endure.

Work as a chef at the shop? "Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t do cooking, and I haven’t been in the kitchen these past days. My cooking skills are regressing."

"Huang Xin, instead of counting on me, you might as well cook yourself. After all, it’s your shop, and you’re the one who wants to make it big and strong."

"My cooking skills can’t compare with those chefs."

What a joke, working for Huang Xin would be signing one’s own death warrant.
