Gu Fangting smiled sowhat shyly. “This... It’s a very simple business! Just a small restaurant. I grew up in the Gu family. I haven’t done much besides study. I mostly learnt how to cook from you!”
“Only that?” Gu Qingyao smiled. She was certain there was more!
Gu Fangting smiled in embarrassnt. “Oh, I’m really not doing much. Besides that, I also draw for others. I learnt to draw when I was young! My mother has a friend who is very good at sewing. I give her my drawings and designs, and she makes them. She pays for the materials, and I earn part of the profits.”
Gu Qingyao had not only learnt to draw since she was young, but she had also learnt embroidery from the old won. She had learned all kinds of exquisite stitches and was well versed in how to match colors, so they complented each other.
With her mories from her past life and her taste that was cultivated over two lifetis, she managed to beco a designer when she was overseas. She continually provided her older cousin with designs. Every ti they ca up with a new product, it was a hit.
Although Gu Fangting was not as good as her at drawing and embroidery, she had learnt quite a lot for a hobby.
Right now, resources were scarce, and many products instantly found a market. At the mont, people were not so particular. They had not yet refined their thinking and their taste. Now they were at the most basic level, and what Gu Fangting had learnt was sufficient.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “That’s pretty good. These two areas have potential. If you want to run a business, you have to think about it carefully. You’re studying economics, and you have specialized knowledge. Work hard!”
Gu Qingyao now had the highest qualifications in the Gu family, and everyone also doted on her. Gu Fangting instinctively trusted Gu Qingyao, so with her praise and encouragent, Gu Fangting felt even more enthusiastic!
“Older Sister, do you also think that these two areas have potential? That’s great. I was worried that it wouldn’t take off! But I did manage to make so money! I want to expand, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to manage.”
Gu Fangting linked her arm in Gu Qingyao’s and talked as she walked. “I... I’m grown up now and want to earn so money, so I can be independent. Mother is still studying. In the future, we will need our own ho. We can’t stay with Second Uncle forever. I feel embarrassed.”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Silly girl. You’re so clever and mature, the Gu family will be happy to support you for your whole life. But if you want to be independent, then I will support you.
“It’s not that the Gu Family doesn’t want you, but now that you’ve grown up, you must have your own life. Being financially independent will boost your self-confidence and help you face life itself. Our grandparents are still around, and they are our elders. It’s natural that they stay with their sons, no matter which son they choose. But it’s different for us.
“In the future, Second and Fourth Cousins will get married and have children. With their wives around, Second Uncle’s house will beco more crowded. When that happens, of course it won’t be nice for us to keep living with Second Uncle. Even if they don’t say anything, we will feel uneasy. When my parents co back, we will move out too.”
“You’re moving out too?” Gu Fangting was rather surprised!
In her eyes, Gu Qingyao was a mber of the Gu family and that it was natural that she stayed with them. After all, the Gu family doted on her.
But she herself was only a cousin. Although her surna was now Gu, she was still soone else’s daughter. She was too embarrassed to continue staying with the Gus.
But she had not expected that even her older cousin would be moving out.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Of course I have to move. Which girl would continue to stay with her Second Uncle? I have parents too!”
