Ruan Hao just laughed without answering.
Since Shu Jiao had once taught here, many of the teachers at the school knew the Ruan Family, so Ruan Hao’s enrollment process was quickly completed. The official start date of the school was September 1st, and today was only the 29th. Although the school cafeteria would be open during these days, Ruan Hao decided to leave with the Ruan Family first and come back on the 1st of September.
The family happily went to the location of the restaurant they were going to open.
The location of the store was excellent, right opposite the furniture store they had visited last time. It’s the type of place where people would need to rest and have a meal after shopping.
However, this also meant that this storefront was more expensive.
Upon entering the store, Ruanlin Family looked around the layout and then pulled Ruan Jianguo to a corner to ask, "Was the bracelet I gave you last time enough?"
"What’s up, Mom? Are you trying to give me more money?" Ruan Jianguo asked with a chuckle.
Ruanlin Family glared at him, "I’m being serious here, stop joking around."
Ruan Jianguo smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, saying, "Mom, you can rest easy now. I had someone sell that bracelet and it brought in quite a sum. It’s more than enough, so don’t worry. Your only task now is to help your son check out the layout of the store to see what’s missing or what we might need to add."
Upon hearing this, Ruanlin Family began to inspect the storefront more carefully.
The storefront wasn’t particularly large, but it wasn’t small either, comprising over a hundred square meters including the kitchen. The tables and chairs were also brand new—ten sets in total. Although they looked inexpensive, they were simple, stylish, and clean.
Ruanlin Family was quite satisfied. She asked Ruan Jianguo, "Have you hired a chef?"
"Yeah, I have. It’s the master chef from our old factory—great skills, and he’s bringing an apprentice with him." Given their current situation, the food they sold at the restaurant would definitely focus on game, which has a more robust flavor. Coupled with the master’s culinary skills, the business would surely do well.
"That’s good then, everything seems great. Just take care of it yourself, and if you need more money, just tell me," Ruanlin Family said, nodding with satisfaction.
Ruan Jianguo blinked and playfully asked like a greedy child, "Mom, didn’t you say that bracelet was all you had left? Where did this extra money come from?" In truth, he hadn’t sold the bracelet; he had kept it. He still had some money left and had not yet needed to rely on his mother’s funds.
Knowing her son’s nature, Ruanlin Family just spat lightly in his direction and continued looking around.
Ruan Jiaojiao, on the other side, overheard their conversation and felt tempted.
As the little villain, she had saved up more than a thousand yuan, all from selling game she had hunted herself. Even the wild boar used for the banquet feast, Ruan Jianguo had paid her market price for it.
So now, she had over twelve hundred yuan on her, which was no small sum at the time.
Keeping it with no use didn’t make much sense; why not invest it in his business?
That way, when he grew up, even if he had no parents to look after him, he would still have a stable income and be able to live securely.
As currency reforms were happening everywhere and more and more people were going into business, the Ruan Family was clearly among those eager to take the lead. Especially since she knew that Ruan Jianguo planned to partner with Lu Zhiwei in the electronics business, he was undoubtedly in need of capital. So why not invest with him first?
With this in mind, Ruan Jiaojiao pulled the little villain outside the store first.
