Xu Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and said, “Ok, but only for these few days.”

“Dad got into a car accident, so I applied for leave to take care of him. I can’t do much here and planned to go back to work tomorrow, but…”

“If you need help, I’ll help you for a few days.”

“Thank you…” Jiang Bei was touched.

He knew that Xu Xiaoqiang’s was struggling internally, so Jiang Bei did not expect him to make this decision.

“You don’t have to thank me. I’m not helping you, I’m helping my sister. If my sister can have a better life… then it’s worth it.” Xu Xiaoqiang curled his lips and turned his head away, not looking at Jiang Bei.

Jiang Bei smiled gently.

At this moment, Wanwan’s voice came from the ward.

Jiang Bei stood up and looked inside. Wanwan had already woken up. She was in front of the bed, singing a children’s song to Xu Xuefeng.

Xu Xuefeng laughed heartily.

“Let’s go in and let them know that we are leaving,” said Jiang Bei.

Xu Xiaoqiang nodded and didn’t say anything else. He followed Jiang Bei back into the ward.

“Daddy!”

Wanwan heard the voice and turned her head in surprise.

“Give me a hug.” Jiang Bei squatted down and held Wanwan in his arms. A bright smile appeared on his face.

“Wanwan, can you stay with grandma and grandpa in the hospital in the afternoon and wait for your mom to get off work?” Jiang Bei said with a smile.

“Okay! Otherwise, grandpa and grandma will be very bored in the hospital,” Wanwan answered crisply.

“Wanwan is so good.” Jiang Bei carried Wanwan and walked to Xu Xuefeng’s bed. “Dad.”

“Is there anything else?”

The smile on Xu Xuefeng’s face became a little stiff as Jiang Bei entered the room.

“Well… I want to take Xiaoqiang with me to do some business,” Jiang Bei said after a moment of hesitation.

“Do business?” Xu Xuefeng was obviously stunned for a moment, then he turned his gaze to Xu Xiaoqiang, and his brows gradually furrowed.

“Xiaoqiang, what’s going on?” Xu Xuefeng didn’t object, as he wanted to know what Xu Xiaoqiang had in mind.

“Dad, I plan to try it with him. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go back to work,” Xu Xiaoqiang replied.

Xu Xuefeng nodded. Although he obviously didn’t agree, he still kept it to himself.

After a while, he said, “You’re old enough to make your own decisions. I won’t stop you in this regard.”

He had long known that Xu Xiaoqiang wanted to do something else. He had even discussed getting a driver’s license with him.

He had also agreed to that.

Xu Xiaoqiang did not say anything more.

They stayed in the hospital with Wanwan for a while, and only left around nine o’clock. They first went home to change, and then went straight to the shopping district.

The shopping district in Donghai City was very lively, and it later became a large commercial district. There were already two shopping malls here.

If he could open the bubble tea shop in the mall and sell it to the crowd in the mall, it would be absolutely feasible.

But the problem was that he didn’t have enough money on hand.

He wanted to rent a shop directly from the owner, but there weren’t many empty shops at the moment, and the locations weren’t good. Most of them were around the corner.

But as long as it was a shop located in the district, they would not lose money even if they were just selling cold drinks.

In this era, technology was not developed yet. Internet cafes only offered games like Red Alert and Counter Strike. Ceo Ma was still chatting and flirting with girls on QQ. The explosive era of online games wouldn’t arrive until two years later, let alone online shopping.

The shopping district became the best place to spend time with one’s partner after dinner.

If it happened to be a day where there were massive sales in the mall, it would be even more crowded.

Who loved shopping the most? Women, of course!

Who loved drinking bubble tea? Mostly women!

Therefore, Jiang Bei had to find a shop near the mall!

The exact location of the shop did not matter.

He was confident that he could attract all the people there with this new drink!

“Jiang Bei, have you decided? You only have 1,000 yuan. How are you going to rent a shop?”

The weather was gradually getting warmer, and Xu Xiaoqiang became a little impatient. He still did not understand how he could rent a shop for a month with only 1,000 yuan in his hand.

However, Jiang Bei was still taking his time..

There were only a few shops that were empty and there were not many options available to him. After thinking for a moment, he chose a relatively small shop and memorized the contact information on the door.

Through the glass door, he could see that the shop was about 20 to 30 square meters, and the location was at the end of the street, so it was not good.

This kind of small shop had no other use besides selling some drinks.

Xu Xiaoqiang was even more confused. He had chosen for so long. Was he comparing the prices?

But, even this shop would cost at least 3,000 yuan. How could he afford it?

“What do you want to do? How are you getting the money?” Xu Xiaoqiang could not help but ask.

“Come with me, you will know soon.” Jiang Bei smiled lightly..
