After Marrying the Officer

"I'll consult with Professor Bao about the schooling," Xia Chuyi thought carefully before speaking to everyone. "If possible, let's try to stay in the Capital City."

"Is that feasible?" Qian Qianqian still had some doubts.

Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, at worst, they can attend school on a guest basis."

After all, these two children were used to living with her in the Capital City. Going back to Ling County wouldn't be ideal, as the educational resources there couldn't compare to those of the Capital City.

Furthermore, Xia Ming had always been helping Xia Chuyi take care of Uncle Quan.

And Xia Pan had already started learning crafts from Master Lao Guan.

So, no matter how you looked at it, it was better for the two children to stay in the Capital City with them.

Hearing Xia Chuyi say this, Xia Pan, who was sitting next to her, realized that she didn't plan to send her back to Ling County. Her eyes shone brightly with happiness.

Seeing Xia Pan happy, Xia Ming also felt happy.

Uncle Quan's tail wagged casually as he conveyed to Xia Chuyi: it was satisfied with her decision to keep its servant around.

Xia Chuyi silently smiled.

The matter of the children was settled then.

Then, Meng Xingmang immediately asked Xia Chuyi, "What about the matter of opening the new branch?"

Meng Xingmang was someone who was career-driven, particularly passionate about expanding the "Youwei" business and enthusiastic about opening new branches.

With regards to her friend's enthusiasm, Xia Chuyi was of course supportive. She looked at Meng Xingmang and asked, "What are your plans? Where will the location be?"

She inquired about Meng Xingmang's detailed plan.

Having overseen the opening of two branches already, Meng Xingmang had plenty of experience and directly handed a business plan to Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi glanced at the business plan.

Oh, Meng Xingmang's chosen location was near a tourist spot?

She nodded silently in approval.

As the saying goes, "He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man." The people of Z nation harbored a special longing for the Capital City.

Especially people from this era, once they had some money, were willing to make a trip to the Capital City to see what the nation's heart looked like.

"You're right, this is a tourist area nearby," Xia Chuyi agreed.

"In the future, as the national economy gets better and better, having a branch here will be very beneficial."

She thus gave the green light to the business plan for the new branch.

After some thought, she added, "If possible, Xing Mang, I think you should take a look and see if there are any shops for sale nearby."

"If there are and the funds allow, we can just buy the shop directly."

"Buy the shop?" Hearing this, Meng Xingmang furrowed his brows, shook his head somewhat disapprovingly, and said, "I don't think buying a shop is very cost-effective now."

Meng Xingmang paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then spoke to Xia Chuyi, "The economy of various places has just started to take off, it's a great opportunity to make money."

"Our liquid capital should first be invested in production, to earn money from capital."

Meng Xingmang spoke very seriously.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi couldn't help nodding silently, thinking to herself: Meng Xingmang's economic analysis was quite on point.

This was indeed a prime time for making money.

However, it was also the best time to acquire property.

Smiling, Xia Chuyi said to Meng Xingmang, "With the economy developed and everyone having money, what do you think the common people most want to do?"

"Ah?" Meng Xingmang frowned slightly, not understanding why Xia Chuyi suddenly brought up this question, "With money, isn't it to improve their lives?"
