Madam Chen was extremely worried, fearing her eldest grandson wouldn’t be able to repay such a large amount of money. Even if the family sold everything, they couldn’t come up with that sum.

"Grandma, it’s okay. It’s a good opportunity for my brother to venture out on his own," Xu Mumu said calmly. She suspected her brother had long planned this out, and now that he was starting, he must have a plan. As for losing money, Xu Mumu thought that was unlikely.

The economy is booming right now. To lose money, you’d have to be really bad at business. As long as you put in some effort, you can make money.

Moreover, Yin Yang wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled. After hearing how much money was involved, Xu Mumu didn’t have a big reaction. If Xu Minghui’s plan was sure to fail, Yin Yang wouldn’t want to lend him the money.

"What’s so good about it? If he loses money, how will he pay it back?" Madam Chen was even more anxious.

"It’s fine, just take it slow." Xu Mumu said helplessly. Why did her grandma have no confidence in her brother?

Mumu’s comfort didn’t cheer Madam Chen up; she remained worried.

"Grandma, let’s take a walk and see how things have changed around here." Unable to console her grandma, Mumu decided to change the subject. They’ll have to wait until her brother starts making money before her grandma is reassured; saying more now was pointless.

"Alright, let’s go, I’ll take you to see the place your brother has leased." Madam Chen was ready to take her granddaughter over to have a look; perhaps the granddaughter could advise the eldest grandson.

Xu Mumu held her little brother’s hand and walked with Madam Chen on the streets of the provincial capital. From Madam Chen, she learned that many of the businesses on the street belonged to the Yin Family. Her feelings were a bit mixed.

The changes in the provincial capital were indeed significant. Various shops had appeared selling all kinds of goods. The streets were bustling, even in the afternoon.

They followed Madam Chen to the place Xu Minghui had leased. It was a two-story building, very spacious. After understanding, Mumu thought it made sense to borrow so much money. They couldn’t have secured this place without money; it’s located in the city center and is quite ample.

The house had been renovated, and they were stocking the shelves at that moment. There were many workers, and they obviously knew Madam Chen. Upon seeing her, someone immediately ran to call Xu Minghui over.

"Grandma, little sister, why are you here?" Xu Minghui came over and led them to his office, which was cluttered with all sorts of things.

Looking at the mess, Madam Chen couldn’t help but nag: "With so many people working here, why don’t you get a couple to clean this place up? Only you could stand such a mess."

"Grandma, there’s a lot of work. They’re all busy," Xu Minghui said helplessly, swiftly starting to tidy up while talking. He knew his grandma had a bit of a cleanliness fixation and a touch of OCD.

Whenever grandma visited and saw the mess, she couldn’t help but nag, but she would also help tidy up.

"Brother, this place is quite big," Xu Mumu said with a smile, helping Xu Minghui tidy up the office.

"I chose it because it’s big," Xu Minghui said with a smile. He had hesitated for a long time and wasn’t impulsive.

"Brother, I think doing this is quite good; you’ll definitely make money," Mumu didn’t discourage Xu Minghui.

"Yeah, that’s what I think too. The department store business over there is pretty good."

Listening to Minghui’s plans, Mumu nodded silently. Her brother wasn’t jumping into this with a hot head; he planned to keep it up. He wasn’t skilled in anything else, so doing this was quite suitable.

While listening, Mumu offered some suggestions. She hoped her brother’s supermarket would last a long time, so it couldn’t run like the department stores. Employee training and other things, Mumu explained clearly.

Minghui listened intently, feeling his sister made valid points, and noted them down with pen and paper.

Madam Chen pursed her lips but didn’t interrupt them; instead, she started helping tidy up. Xu Minglei watched over the little brother, keeping him from moving anything around. Some of this might be important to the big brother.

"Sis, I think your suggestions will definitely help me make money here," Minghui said excitedly, already eager to open.

But what his sister said was crucial: the customer is king. To make someone want to shop here, the experience must be enjoyable for them to willingly part with their money.

And those sales strategies—if someone rewarded him like this, he’d definitely go all out to sell.

The rewards were a small portion, but if he could sell more, he’d definitely profit from it.

Seeing her brother’s excited look, Mumu couldn’t help but want to laugh.

While still young, Mumu hoped her brother could take more adventures.

Right now, supermarkets hadn’t become widespread, unlike the future where various supermarkets of all sizes could be seen everywhere.

If Xu Minghui could seize the opportunity now, although monopolizing the market was impossible, growing a large business was entirely feasible.

After staying for a while, Mumu and the others left. Minghui still had many things to handle, so they decided not to disturb him.

Walking on the street, near the entrance of the textile factory, someone was selling steamed buns and dumplings, and the little guy was hungry.

"Sister, I want to eat buns. I want to eat buns," the little guy tugged at Mumu’s hand, eager to go to the small stall.

With no other choice, Mumu thought eating something would be fine. On this return, she noticed there weren’t many snacks at home, and the candies were all put away. Since lunch, the little guy had only eaten half an apple and nothing else.

Mumu considered it a good change. The little guy eating too much candy wasn’t good; it was better to eat less sweets and more meals.

"Boss, what kind of buns do you have?" Mumu asked as she looked at the steam basket, brought directly on a wooden cart, surrounded by quilts to keep the heat in.

"We have cabbage and pork, sweet buns, veggie buns, and various mantous. What would you like to buy, miss?" The bun vendor auntie looked at Mumu warmly. This nicely dressed young lady must not be short of money.

"Little brother, what do you want?" Mumu’s eyes fell on the little guy. The selection of buns was too limited here, just buns and mantous, not as diverse as in the future. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But such small stalls were still quite profitable. Mumu recalled the food street outside the university town from her past life, with many small stalls offering all sorts of delicious food. She used to love visiting there when she had free time, eating to her heart’s content before heading back.
