Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 859: Chapter 860: Should I Discuss It with Taiguo?

Seeing that Cheng Su had her own ideas, Ning Ge didn’t say anything. He knew that her ambitions were far beyond just running a small restaurant or a small tavern. Therefore, he couldn’t bring himself to tell her to simply stick to managing a few businesses.

However, during the more than a year that they’ve known each other, it seemed as though her steps had never stopped.

In contrast, he seemed to be at a standstill.

Cheng Su was scribbling away on a plan when she noticed Ning Ge staring blankly. She couldn’t help but knock on his desk, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing much, I might have to go back to Beijing for a bit, there’s something I need to take care of," Ning Ge said. "If you finish your plan, let me have a look. If it’s feasible, I might invest in some shares?"

"Sure! Oh, right, if you go back, could you also take a holiday gift to your dad for me? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon!" Cheng Su remembered the gifts and said.

"Alright." Ning Ge nodded, then asked, "Are you going back to Flower County for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Cheng Su paused her writing, frowning.

Should she go back?

With Qi Taiguo not around, she didn’t want to go back, nor did she want to face her in-laws’ expressions alone.

Even if she’s not going back, the holiday gifts definitely needed to be sent back. So Cheng Su prepared some mooncakes and other items, one set for her in-laws and one for her own family. Then she asked her Elder Sister when she’d be going back, planning to entrust her to take the gifts back.

When Qi Fenglian heard that she wasn’t going home, she furrowed her brows and said, "Taiguo is off studying. During a time like this, what’s the point of being here alone? You might as well go home to celebrate!"

"No, going back for just a day or two only to return, plus there’s a lot to do here. I also need to prepare for enrolling. When you go back, don’t you still need to look after the fast food place?" Cheng Su said with a smile.

Qi Fenglian slightly pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Is it because of Mom that you don’t want to go back? Are you still upset with her?"

"No, I’m really busy. Besides, I’m thinking about demolishing and rebuilding the main shop, maybe adding a few floors. There’s a lot to prepare and plan for!" Cheng Su replied.

Upon hearing this, Qi Fenglian said, "Demolish and rebuild? That must cost a lot of money, right? Shouldn’t you wait for Taiguo to come back and discuss it together?"

Cheng Su glanced at her upon hearing this.

Qi Fenglian hurriedly said, "What I mean is, it’s always better for you two to discuss such a big matter together rather than figuring it out on your own, right?"

"I’m planning to have it ready for reopening before the New Year. Then during the New Year, we might even make some money since a lot of people eat out then, right?" Cheng Su said. "If we wait for him, it will be October; who knows if it’ll be done in time. Plus, deciding to build isn’t as simple as just talking about it; there are many preparations to make. If we don’t speed up the progress, Taiguo might return and find it hasn’t even been put into action yet."

Qi Fenglian made an ’oh’ sound, not daring to say more, though she secretly felt it was inappropriate. Such a big decision, she’s just going to demolish and rebuild without consulting her husband? Shouldn’t they discuss it together?

Cheng Su wasn’t unwilling to discuss it with Qi Taiguo. He just wasn’t around, and actually, she had only added this to the agenda and hadn’t officially put it into action yet. She said this to her Elder Sister just to block her persuasion to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, not expecting her to think she was being presumptuous.

But it wouldn’t hurt to wait a bit. She could think it over more carefully and make some calculations.

Qi Taiguo, when will you finally come back?
