Chapter 39 This is even worse than puppy love!
Are you serious?
Ye Kai was taken aback by Shen Jiayi's sudden idea, and then began to seriously consider it.
Ye Kai wasn't really sure how much it would cost to open a milk tea shop.
However, he and Shen Jiayi had $37 in cash on hand, which is more than 230 million yuan in Chinese currency. In a small, third-tier city like Xinghua City, it wouldn't cost that much to open ten milk tea shops.
Unless they buy the storefront as well, which could really cost a lot of money.
"The money we have isn't earning much interest if we just leave it in the bank, so we might as well invest it."
"Maybe it will work?"
Shen Jiayi was much bolder than Ye Kai had imagined.
This is understandable, since her mother, Jiang Xin, is the director of the credit department of a commercial bank and deals with various investment and loan projects every day. Under such influence, Shen Jiayi is naturally quite sensitive to this kind of thing.
"Tsk!"
"Let me think about it!"
Ye Kai rubbed his temples, suddenly realizing that Shen Jiayi had opened up a new avenue for him.
Since his rebirth, he has been thinking about how to increase his trump cards, which is why he tried to get initial funds, used Bitcoin speculation to make his first pot of gold, and accumulated a considerable amount of Bitcoin offline.
He currently has $280,000 in cash and 10,000 bitcoins on the Mt. Gox system. He's in high spirits and just needs to wait for the market to rise so he can sit back and relax.
If he could only get into an ordinary first-tier university like before, Ye Kai would definitely choose this kind of life.
But things are different for him now. After his rebirth, he seems to have divine assistance, and his grades have improved by leaps and bounds. He has already stepped into the gates of a 985 university in central China. It would be such a waste to choose an ordinary life of lying down and doing nothing again.
Ye Kai has now come up with a new slogan: "Pull down the pants of 985 universities and see what's different inside."
Given this, it is essential to choose a relatively positive development path.
Perhaps Wei Junjie encouraged his mother to go to Shanghai to study and investigate the milk tea industry because of him, which was a good start for Ye Kai to take a new path.
Gradually, Ye Kai's eyes finally lit up, becoming bright and piercing.
"So, have you figured it out?"
Shen Jiayi looked at Ye Kai expectantly. She found Ye Kai particularly charming when he was deep in thought, which easily made her blush and her heart race. She couldn't help but want to get close and rub against him.
"We can invest, but we need Aunt Jiang to provide off-site assistance."
Ye Kai glanced at Shen Jiayi's hand resting on his waist, his mood fluctuating.
"No problem, I'll talk to my mom."
Shen Jiayi was overjoyed and readily agreed to take on the entire task.
Being able to share a career with Ye Kai seems like a pretty good choice, at least Chen Xiaoyu doesn't have that opportunity. Shen Jiayi was quite pleased with herself and really wanted to hug Ye Kai's waist and show off, but she ultimately held back.
She can't do anything out of line with Ye Kai again, or their homeroom teacher, Old Wang, will go crazy.
Wang Fusheng had been holding back his little antics between the two of them for a long time, and who knew when he would explode?
Once things are decided, the wait can be quite agonizing.
Fortunately, Shen Jiayi is a day student and goes home to stay every night.
……
"Mom, I want hot pot for dinner, and I want it spicy!"
Shen Jiayi called Jiang Xin that afternoon, her voice filled with joy.
"Is something good happening?"
Director Jiang, understanding the implied meaning, immediately asked a question in return.
"The results of the entrance exam for the Nationalities University are out, and I'm number one again."
Shen Jiayi excitedly shared the good news she had just received with her mother, Jiang Xin.
"marvelous!"
"Our Jiajia is truly the best!"
Director Jiang was very pleased to hear this. If she didn't have two documents to review, she probably would have skipped work and gone home to prepare a celebration banquet for her daughter.
However, she also felt a little regretful.
Judging from Shen Jiayi's current grades, she can get into a very good 985 university without taking an art exam. The original plan to take a shortcut was too conservative and did not fully consider the child's great potential for development.
Pity!
Thinking of this, Director Jiang couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, feeling somewhat conflicted.
If she hadn't spent so much time and energy on art, perhaps Shen Jiayi could now be like Chen Xiaoyu, the absolute academic star of Xinghua No. 2 High School, directly aiming for Peking University and Tsinghua University, the top two universities in China.
However, it's not realistic to switch allegiances nowadays. To maximize profits, the only option is to continue down the main path of the arts.
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.
Taking the arts route also has its advantages, making it easier to gain a foothold in universities and advance further.
"Mom, I'm home!"
"Mmm...it smells so good!"
At nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Jiayi pushed open the door, kicked off her shoes, put on her little bunny slippers, threw her schoolbag aside, and shouted into the house.
Before she even entered the living room, she could smell the rich aroma of hot pot.
"They're here! They're here!"
Mayor Shen was actually at home, which made Shen Jiayi exclaim in disbelief. He wore thick gloves and brought out the already boiling hot pot, placing it on the dining table.
Director Jiang prepared more than a dozen side dishes, with a very careful balance of meat and vegetables, which looked very appetizing.
"This is far too lavish!"
"I feel like I'm going to gain two pounds tonight."
After washing her hands, Shen Jiayi sat down in the restaurant, unsure which dish to eat first with her chopsticks.
"School life is so tough, it's really necessary to eat more good food to replenish your energy."
"The beef and lamb are all freshly cut, they're very fresh."
"And there's your favorite salmon, served with wasabi paste, have a try..."
Director Jiang was in a great mood tonight, busy cooking vegetables in the pot and then putting them on her daughter's plate.
Mayor Shen quietly prepared the dipping sauce for his wife and daughter, controlling the heat and water temperature, embodying a low-key dedication and being the man behind the successful woman.
"Bang!"
"Having a little beer while eating hot pot makes it even better!"
Director Jiang opened a bottle of beer, poured it into glasses for the three of them, and then raised his glass to congratulate his daughter on another exciting achievement in her academic career.
"Oh, right, Mom."
"I have something I'd like to ask you, as a financial expert, for your opinion on."
After a few rounds of drinks, Shen Jiayi finally brought up the topic.
"What's wrong?"
"Are economics-related professional knowledge now included in the college entrance examination materials?"
Director Jiang has a high alcohol tolerance, but her face flushes easily after drinking. At this moment, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her gaze towards her daughter was full of doting affection.
"It's a bit more complicated than this."
"I have a classmate named Wei Junjie, their family..."
Shen Jiayi touched her slightly rounded belly and then voiced her thoughts.
"Does this count as...starting a business?"
After hearing this, Director Jiang and Mayor Shen looked at each other in bewilderment, as they had never expected that their daughter would have such a thought just two months before the college entrance examination.
This is even worse than having a puppy love!
Director Jiang scratched his head, unsure how to reply to his daughter.
