In the early morning, bright sunlight streamed through the open window, illuminating the room filled with a thick, girlish atmosphere and a pink romantic vibe. The girl lying in bed groaned softly, opening her sleepy eyes and turning over to try to sleep a bit more.
The door opened, and Zhao Yingying looked at her still-sleeping precious daughter, couldn't help but smile, and called out, "Ruoxi, it's time to get up and have breakfast!"
"Mm!" Zhang Ruoxi, in a soft and tender voice, pouted from under the sheets and took a while to sit up, asking, "Mom, what time is it?"
"It's 6:30!" Zhao Yingying opened the door and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her precious daughter. Seeing her daughter's lazy expression and the gradually increasing maturity in her every move, she sighed inwardly.
Although she had known that her daughter might have this kind of situation after dating a boyfriend, she still didn't want it to happen so soon! Who knew that just a few days after she had reminded her, her daughter had already been completely taken by the man.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Zhang Ruoxi felt her scalp tingle under her mother's gaze and, feeling guilty, didn't dare to meet her mother's sharp, substantial eyes. She got up from the bed, wearing a thin nightgown and pajama pants, to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Zhao Yingying didn't want to say more to avoid making her daughter feel embarrassed, so she just smiled and said, "Hurry up and come out for breakfast," then left.
Zhang Ruoxi poked her head out from her private bathroom, brushing her teeth while letting out a sigh of relief.
Wearing a white tank top, a pink cardigan, and a black fitted mini skirt, with a red butterfly hair clip and a pair of red flats, the sweet and cheerful outfit made Zhang Ruoxi very satisfied as she looked in the mirror.
When she entered the dining room, she saw her father holding a newspaper and reading it intently. Although his face was calm, Zhang Ruoxi could still see the worry and anxiety that he couldn't hide.
"Dad! Good morning!" As she passed behind her father, Zhang Ruoxi glanced at the newspaper and noticed it was full of reports about the Southeast Asian financial crisis, which gave her a sense of the situation.
Zhang Hua folded the newspaper and looked at his daughter with a kind expression, smiling and saying, "Dad came back from work at 11 last night and was so busy that I didn't know you had come home! I'm really sorry!"
"I'm already 19! Don't treat me like a child!" Zhang Ruoxi, sitting to her father's left, pouted adorably.
"Whether you're 19 or 29, you're still our little Ruoxi!" Zhao Yingying, carrying breakfast, said with a smile.
"Ha ha, my wife is right! That's the truth!" Zhang Hua laughed and said to his wife, who was sitting to his right.
Zhang Ruoxi, looking at her father, whose temples were slightly gray, asked softly, "Dad, your company deals with the import and export of clothing, right?"
"Ah?" Zhang Hua looked at Zhang Ruoxi in surprise and said with a smile, "Why is our Ruoxi suddenly interested in this?"
"Answer me first!" Zhang Ruoxi lifted her chin and said crisply, "I'm studying international trade, after all!"
"That's right!" Zhang Hua nodded with a smile, "We have our own clothing factory, and the factory manager is your uncle. Although we do have orders domestically, we generally focus on export business! Foreigners are greedy for our cheap clothes, so sales have always been good in the past!"
"Then, where does our company mainly export to?" Zhang Ruoxi's heart tightened as she remembered Song Chen's words and asked.
Zhang Hua fell silent. Seeing this, Zhao Yingying said to her daughter, "Don't talk about business during meals!"
"Southeast Asia, right?" Zhang Ruoxi said softly.
Zhang Hua looked at his daughter in surprise but, considering her major, the school might use the Southeast Asian financial crisis as a case study. He sighed and nodded, "Yes! We mainly export to Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries. We also export to Europe and America, but because there are so many competitors there, just in our hometown of Dongou, there are thousands of people! Due to the prosperity of Southeast Asia's economy and active consumption in recent years, I have a preference for the Southeast Asian market. However, I don't want to give up the developed European and American markets, so I sent your older brother to Europe and America on a business trip... But this year's storm is fierce!"
Zhang Ruoxi's face turned slightly pale as she thought about Song Chen's words and asked softly, "Then, Dad, are you thinking about getting into the internet cafe business?"
Zhang Hua nodded and smiled, "Your suggestion gave me a great idea! I've already sent people to investigate the prospects of this new industry. If it's feasible, I'll invest some capital!"
Zhang Ruoxi thought for a moment and realized that she would inevitably clash with Yang De in the internet cafe market, and... her father, who didn't have as many strategies as Song Chen, would definitely lose! She shook her head and said, "Yang De is already in the internet cafe business, Dad. Don't get involved! You'll definitely lose!"
"Ha ha!" Zhang Hua laughed heartily and pointed at his daughter, saying to his wife, "It seems our daughter is quite considerate. She's even trying to stop Dad's business for her friends!"
He turned to look at Zhang Ruoxi with a smile and said, "Since it's a new industry, the internet cafe market must be huge. If everyone is doing internet cafes, there won't be any price wars, right? And I won't lose to you kids! I was already in business when you were still playing in the mud!"
"No!" Zhang Ruoxi pouted and rolled her eyes at her father, explaining, "Dad, listen to Yang De's plan, and you'll know if you'll lose!" Then, Zhang Ruoxi began to recount Song Chen's plan in detail.
"Wow! Yang Jinchang's youngest son is so capable? I never would have guessed!" Zhang Hua took a deep breath, his expression serious, "Although it's a bit risky, this plan is well-structured. Such a capital operation strategy isn't something just anyone can come up with!"
Zhang Ruoxi beamed with pride, as if she herself had been praised. "It's not Yang De's idea! If Yang De had such talent, he would have stood out five years ago. Why wait until now?"
"Oh? Who came up with such a brilliant plan?" Zhang Hua was delighted and sat up straight, almost quoting an ancient text: "I should visit him three times to invite him to work for us."
Zhang Ruoxi's face turned red, and she became shy. "It's my classmate, but he's on a leave of absence! He's doing some small business now."
Seeing her daughter's bashful demeanor, Zhang Hua didn't notice, but Zhao Yingying frowned, thinking: Could it be...
"A university student who has only been in school for two months has such remarkable talent? What kind of small business? Where is he? Dad will go and invite him to work for the company! He's a talent!" Zhang Hua laughed heartily.
"Hmph!" Zhao Yingying snorted.
"Ah? Wife, what's wrong? Is something not right?" Zhang Hua, noticing his wife's expression, asked hurriedly.
Zhao Yingying stared intently at her guilty daughter, rolled her eyes at her husband, and said, "Your daughter is setting a trap for you!"
"What kind of trap?" Zhang Hua was completely confused.
"Mom, that's such a harsh word!" Zhang Ruoxi pouted and said, "I just felt embarrassed to mention that Ah Chen is on a leave of absence and starting a business..."
Seeing her parents' eyes on her, Zhang Ruoxi obediently lowered her head and said shyly, "Dad also said he's a talent!"
Zhang Hua was surprised and asked, "Is that talent your boyfriend? What's his name?"
Zhang Ruoxi sighed softly, "To tell you the truth, his father is even more capable than you, Dad! His father is Song Hua!"
Zhang Hua was slightly stunned and then sighed, "So, he's the child who was awarded to Song Hua's ex-wife by the court!"
Zhang Hua said to his wife with a smile, "It seems our Ruoxi has a good eye! She spotted a diamond that others didn't want!"
Zhao Yingying rolled her eyes at her husband, "A few days ago, who was sighing and lamenting that their beloved daughter of twenty years was taken by another man?"
Both Zhang Hua and Zhang Ruoxi blushed. Zhang Hua cleared his throat and was about to speak when Zhang Ruoxi, facing her father, said seriously, "Dad, Song Chen told me that if your company is going to transform, the pharmaceutical industry is a stable and long-term high-profit industry! If you import medical equipment from abroad, hospitals will definitely want it!"
Zhang Ruoxi hesitated and then said softly, "He said it's a high-profit industry that's literally dripping with the blood of the common people! Far more profitable than internet cafes!"
Zhang Hua and Zhao Yingying first smiled with joy, but then their smiles froze.
