Jiang Tao thought that Ye Chen was a business prodigy.
He didn’t know that these were just case studies of successful people from Ye Chen’s future life; it was just that in this era, these marketing thods were very avant-garde.
What Jiang Tao didn’t understand now was that since Ye Chen was so familiar with capital operations, he must also know the wealth such operations could bring.
But why would Ye Chen refuse?
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Although your answer could make a lot of money and turn into a billionaire, I still don’t want to choose it."
Jiang Tao was even more confused, and he asked in bewildernt, "Why not?"
Ye Chen’s gaze shifted toward Xia Yingluo.
"Because there’s a girl who doesn’t want to choose that way."
Xia Yingluo had originally been keeping her head down, but hearing Ye Chen’s words, she was instantly stunned.
"Because of your girlfriend?"
Jiang Tao looked at Ye Chen with so disbelief.
Ye Chen had already pulled the sowhat shy Xia Yingluo into his arms.
"Exactly. Because of my girlfriend, I don’t want to trade her dream for capital."
"From the very beginning, this Hot Pot Restaurant was opened for her. She has worked very hard, managing it bit by bit, to make it what it is today."
Ye Chen said with a smile, "Actually, I know that if I asked her now if she’s willing to accept investnt, her answer would definitely be yes."
Jiang Tao looked at Ye Chen in confusion.
"Then why would you refuse?"
Ye Chen said, "Because I know that even though Yingluo says yes, she definitely wouldn’t want to in her heart."
"Because this is our first business, and also the witness to our love."
As Ye Chen spoke, he pointed toward the door and said, "Do you see that suggestion book by the door?"
Jiang Tao took a look.
He saw an exquisite suggestion book hanging on the wall by the entrance.
To Jiang Tao, that suggestion book seed like nothing more than a decoration.
Ye Chen continued, "You might not believe it, but every night, this girl reads through every single suggestion one by one and records them in a notebook."
Jiang Tao was stunned upon hearing this.
Ye Chen said with a smile, "Senior, you must be curious why this girl is so serious and so persistent."
Jiang Tao didn’t speak and continued to listen.
Ye Chen sighed, "Because she’s very silly. she’s always had a dream. She hopes the Hot Pot Restaurant can be loved by every custor. She hopes this restaurant can be a place people choose to rest when they are tired or hungry. She hopes this place will always be as warm as a ho."
After saying these words, Ye Chen looked at Xia Yingluo.
In truth, Ye Chen’s purpose for opening this Hot Pot Restaurant was as a tool to farm money.
But Xia Yingluo was different.
The aning of this Hot Pot Restaurant was very important to her.
Moreover, Xia Yingluo was currently eighteen or nineteen, exactly the age for dreaming.
Her heart was full of fantasies.
Although these fantasies were ethereal, they were the driving force behind her hard work.
After opening the shop, as the Hot Pot Restaurant got better and better, Xia Yingluo was also very happy.
Everything was developing just as Xia Yingluo had dread.
The Orphanage had money now.
The children from the Orphanage also had a stable inco; even Yuyu and the others had reached the high inco level of white-collar workers.
Through her own efforts, Xia Yingluo had also beco Ye Chen’s capable assistant, a girl who could truly help him.
In fact, when Xia Yingluo heard those capital operations Ye Chen ntioned earlier, she felt a shiver down her spine.
Because those thods were like a small hamr that would shatter her dream.
The Hot Pot Restaurant would beco a tool for making money.
There would be no emotion, no warmth, only cold capital.
That wasn’t the kind of Hot Pot Restaurant she wanted.
In Xia Yingluo’s eyes, a Hot Pot Restaurant should be like a ho.
Warm, beautiful, and pure.
Song Yuyu and the others could work happily here.
Guests could enjoy a ho-like feeling here.
However, Xia Yingluo buried all of this in her heart and didn’t say it out loud.
Because she didn’t want to influence Ye Chen.
She didn’t want to make things difficult for Ye Chen, and even more so, she didn’t want him to give up this hard-won opportunity.
She understood that her own thoughts were too greedy.
Wanting the Hot Pot Restaurant to make money while also wanting it to always maintain this kind of beauty.
Xia Yingluo even felt that Jiang Tao’s idea was the best answer... Ye Chen continued, "Senior, I admit your idea is truly great. From the perspective of capital operation, it’s the best way to operate and could help make a lot of money. But money isn’t important to . So, no matter how correct an answer is, it’s not as beautiful and flawless as this girl’s dream."
After saying this, Ye Chen looked at Jiang Tao.
"Maybe you’ll laugh at for being silly or too young, but this is my answer."
"I’m refusing you not because I don’t approve of your capital operation thods, but because I didn’t open this shop to make money; I opened it just so this girl could be happy."
Ye Chen was telling the truth.
Was he short of money?
Of course not.
If Ye Chen wanted to expand, it wouldn’t even be Jiang Tao’s turn to invest.
In reality, all of Ye Chen’s current reform plans were to protect Xia Yingluo’s pure dream.
Xia Yingluo stared blankly at Ye Chen, her large eyes already filled with crystal-clear tears.
Jiang Tao looked at Ye Chen: "Are you saying you’re willing to pay the price of a multi-billion fortune for this dream?"
"I am."
Ye Chen answered very resolutely, even with a sweet smile.
These were Ye Chen’s true feelings.
As long as Xia Yingluo was happy, Ye Chen would rather the Hot Pot Restaurant never expand.
Who told him he was a reincarnator and even had a system?
I’m just willful like that, got a problem with it?
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the Hot Pot Restaurant fell into silence.
Xiao He looked at Old Man Xia and said, "Old Xia, you’re not still dissatisfied with this kid, are you? If you are, it’s fine. My granddaughter is sixteen this year; I can let them get to know each other..."
Old Man Xia glared at Xiao He: "You wouldn’t dare."
Xiao He laughed, "Weren’t you always dissatisfied and wanting to test Ye Chen? I don’t need to test him; as long as my granddaughter likes him, I’ll give my full support."
In fact, Xiao He didn’t really want to steal Ye Chen from Old Man Xia; he just wanted to see Old Man Xia’s reaction.
Old Man Xia’s reaction was very intense. He said to Xiao He, "Old Xiao, if you really dare to let your granddaughter steal Ye Chen, we’re through."
Looking at Old Man Xia’s fuming expression, Xiao He almost burst out laughing.
However, he said leisurely, "I’m not stealing him. Weren’t you always dissatisfied with Ye Chen? Why are you so nervous?"
Old Man Xia was suddenly speechless.
After a mont of silence, Old Man Xia finally said, "Hmph, I’m just doting on my granddaughter and afraid she’ll be heartbroken."
Xiao He snorted coldly, "Hypocrite. I want to see how long you can keep being stubborn."
Xia Yingluo was currently snuggling in Ye Chen’s arms.
She felt like she was the happiest girl in the world.
Xia Yingluo whispered, "Ye Chen, thank you for helping protect my dream."
