Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1643 - 1644: Determined Resolve

Cheng Su carefully placed Qi Xiaoqi on the bed, tugging the quilt over him gently before looking back at Qi Taiguo.

"I’ve seen this big business opportunity, that place might not seem like much now, but it’ll become a street specializing in seafood and dried goods in the future. If we start now, in twenty or thirty years, the shop will definitely become a long-established brand." Cheng Su whispered, "I’m looking at the long term. Initially, it’ll be a bit tough, but I don’t plan on staying in Guangcheng long-term; I’ll just oversee things when the shop opens."

"It’s not that I disagree. As you said, it’ll all develop into a street eventually; so what difference would it make if we wait a couple more years? I’m comparing and weighing everything from different angles. You’re in your third year now, and it’ll be your final year starting next September, so you’ll be more free, right? When you graduate in 1990, Xiao Qi will already be older, just over a year and a bit. Is it really not possible to make it happen within that span?" Qi Taiguo replied gently.

Cheng Su pressed her lips together, saying, "Opportunities are fleeting."

She just didn’t want to miss such a great chance. Entering the early 90s, the economy is bound to soar, and prices will relatively increase as well.

"Back then, you said delaying having a child was to avoid conflicts between business and childcare. And now you’re willing to be away from the child so much?" Qi Taiguo said, "If you want to start another business now, even if you hire others, you’ll have to invest effort yourself. Doesn’t that contradict your initial intention?"

Cheng Su’s face flushed, "Are you saying that I’m untrustworthy, that I’m going back on my word!"

Qi Taiguo couldn’t decide between laughing and crying, saying, "That’s not what I meant. I’m just worried that you can’t juggle everything—not the child, the business, nor your studies. Honey, you’re only human, not a deity, how can you manage multiple things at once?"

Cheng Su wrinkled her nose, saying, "Towards the end of my studies, things are relatively easier anyway. As for the child, if I indeed go to Guangcheng for business, I’ll definitely take Xiao Qi with me!"

Qi Taiguo was taken aback, "You’re planning to take the child to work with you?"

"Not take him to work, just keep him nearby." Cheng Su said, "We have a house in Guangcheng. Taking him there, with someone accompanying us, he’ll be taken care of. When I’m free, I can play with him and take him around."

Trying to persuade Qi Taiguo, she added, "As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not better than traveling thousands of miles. It’s all part of broadening his horizons."

Qi Taiguo laughed in disbelief, "He’s just a little kid, not even of age yet, and you’re already planning for him to travel miles and miles. You’re quite amusing!"

Cheng Su chuckled, saying, "That’s where you’re mistaken. Kids have excellent memories. Places they’ve been to and things they’ve seen actually stay in their minds, and when they come across certain words, if adults have mentioned them before, they’ll naturally remember and talk about it."

Back in the previous generation, many parents focused on developing their children’s insight, aside from various clubs and interest classes—those are for personal refinement and learning. Some people, once they had some free time, would take their children all around the world to expand their knowledge.

The difference between a frog in the well and someone who has seen cultures across the globe is clear, isn’t it?

"Moreover, saying we’ll open a shop doesn’t mean it’ll just open like that. The shop needs renovations, and it’s close to the new year now. Renovating next year, letting it air out, then gradually setting things up, it’ll be summer vacation by then, and I’ll be free!" Cheng Su calculated with her fingers.

Qi Taiguo saw how determined she was at this point, and with a sigh, understood that marrying a strong-willed woman meant not expecting her to be complacent!
