Wang Jia was someone who’d been through it all, and had long stopped having any illusions about love and that sort of thing.
When you’re young, you can be a love fool, savor the taste of being ravaged by love.
But if at her age you’re still a love fool, then there are only two words to describe you: fucking stupid.
When you’re young, you think love is the most important, money will come eventually!
Only when you’re older do you realize that love can easily disappear, and money is really hard to earn!
All the initial beauty fades away amid the trivialities of life…
So, the economic base determines the superstructure!
Love that doesn’t involve money is like a castle in the air.
No matter how passionate, all love eventually returns to tranquility, back to the reality of daily domesticity.
So, which is more important, money or emotions?
Actually, they’re both pretty important!
But if Wang Jia had to choose one, she would choose money!
Because feelings can’t be eaten as food and also can’t truly last.
The young people of today understand this all too well, which is why many of them are focused on making money. Having a partner is fine, but they don’t talk about feelings!
That stuff’s too ephemeral!
Therefore, from Wang Jia’s perspective, if her little niece could really snag a rich man living at Star Cloud Bay, maybe their family would also benefit quite a bit.
If it weren’t for her own limited personal circumstances, she would be willing to give it a try herself.
Meanwhile.
Yang Hao took Li Manni and Xixi to a barbecue restaurant for lunch.
But Yang Hao, who was in a fat-reduction period, only ate a small piece of grilled steak. Meanwhile, Xixi, the little foodie, showed off her oily mouth, and Li Manni ate quite a bit too, though she was more reserved and ate more elegantly.
After lunch, Xixi clamored to visit her aunt’s house. Yang Hao happened to have a range hood to fix, so he conveniently left Xixi with Li Manni.
After dropping the two off at Fenghua Residential Area, Yang Hao got Wang Xueru’s latest address and then drove there.
It was a residential area called Easter River Manor, not too far from Holiday International. The environment of the two areas was similar, and in Jiangcheng, both were considered mid-to-high-end areas.
“Xueru, open the door.”
“I’m here to fix the range hood!”
When he arrived at the door, Yang Hao knocked while calling out.
The next moment, the door opened.
Once Yang Hao entered, Wang Xueru quickly closed the door behind him and, with a swift motion, locked it.
The beautiful young woman was wearing the same milk-white, hip-hugging dress she’d worn before. The dress, made of wool, kept her warm, but the chest area was deliberately cut out—quite a strategic design.

The clothing fit her snugly, the beautiful young woman’s belly had a slight bulge, but her waist was slim; most of the fat had rather tactfully gone to where it was supposed to be…
“Yang!”
The beautiful young woman extended her arms and hooked them around Yang Hao’s neck, her eyes swimming with tender feelings.
“Right, I should get started on the work…”
Yang Hao, the repairman, always remembered his mission.
The range hood duct was clogged, most likely because it hadn’t been cleaned out properly before.
This thing, as long as it’s regularly cleaned, will keep getting better, but the first time is usually the toughest.
However, Yang Hao, the repairman, was patient and skilled.
Thanks to his relentless efforts, he eventually succeeded, and he didn’t forget to leave some liquid lubricant behind.
Perfect!!
A moment of enlightenment.
Yang Hao took a moment to look around Wang Xueru’s new home.
It was a small three-bedroom house, about 110 square meters or so.
“Xueru, you didn’t need to rent a three-bedroom house, did you?”
Yang Hao asked, somewhat puzzled.
“One of the rooms is for my sister. She’s my uncle’s daughter. She was studying in another city and has just been admitted to the graduate program at Jiangcheng University. She’ll come to Jiangcheng in September and can stay over occasionally to help tutor Nuonuo,”
Wang Xueru explained.
“I see!”
“`
“Graduate students from Jiangcheng University, impressive!”
Yang Hao exclaimed, then asked, “Are you not planning to live in your previous house anymore?”
“Hmm.”
Wang Xueru nodded: “Shen Mingshan has already signed the divorce agreement, legally we’re no longer husband and wife, but I can only get the divorce certificate after the cooling-off period. At that time, I’ll sell the house at Holiday International.”
“That’s probably for the best.”
Yang Hao didn’t say much else. As someone who had been through the same ringer, he understood Wang Xueru’s feelings. There were too many sad memories in that house, it was better not to live there.
“So what are your plans for the future?”
Yang Hao asked, with a hundred million NPC exclusive spending gold lying idle in his account.
Now that the beautiful young woman had clearly drawn her line with Shen Mingshan, he could spend the money on her.
Despite being titled a wealthy man, Yang Hao had never truly experienced the sensation of spending money like water.
Other tycoons spent hundreds of millions, even billions at a time.
In contrast, he only ever spent tens of thousands, at most a few hundred thousand—unsatisfying!!
Dammit, I want to spend money!
Nobody stop me!!
Yang Hao silently screamed in his heart.
“I’m thinking about opening my own flower shop or a coffee shop. This way, I can have a more flexible schedule and it won’t affect taking Nuonuo to and from school.”
In fact, Wang Xueru was quite well-educated. However, since she hadn’t worked for a long time, she didn’t plan to return to the workforce and was thinking about using her savings to start a small business.
After hearing her plan, however, Yang Hao couldn’t help but shake his head.
Great, all traps!!
But these are the types of businesses that many women like to choose when they start their ventures.
It gives people a sense of pettiness and high-end taste.
Nonetheless, both flower shops and coffee shops have a high probability of losses.
Coffee shops, in particular, are so competitive that 99% of newbies entering the industry end up losing everything!
With Starbucks and Luckin Coffee at the forefront, followed by Mixue Bingcheng’s lower-end brand “Lucky Coffee”!
Prices have been driven down to the lowest possible, and these chain brands, with their huge scale, can reduce raw material costs to an absolute minimum to wage a price war.
But you, alone, have higher costs than they do, without any unique secret recipes to speak of—how can you compete?
So it’s often a case of lofty ideals and reality slapping you hard in the face!
Therefore, if your goal in starting a business is profit, truly stay away from coffee shops.
However, there’s also a strange phenomenon: when you’re out shopping, you often come across coffee shops that are stylishly decorated but lack customers.
And they don’t close down; they just keep on operating.
Such shop owners generally fall into two categories: one is the wealthy second generation who open a shop for occasional gatherings with friends, just for something to do.
The other is the ‘kept canary’, whose boss opens the shop just for fun, providing them with something to pass the time. And some women’s clothing stores that seem to have no business all year round but are always open fall into this category as well.
These people don’t open shops to make money.
Wang Xueru was indeed from a well-off family, but originally did not have this kind of backing.
But now, things were different!
Yang Hao decided to fulfill the beautiful young woman’s wish.
Making money didn’t matter; it was all just for fun!
“Yang, do you not think flower shops or coffee shops are good businesses?”
Noticing Yang Hao shaking his head, Wang Xueru frowned slightly.
“Not exactly.”
Yang Hao smiled and shook his head: “Behind Starlight City there’s a coffee shop up for transfer, how about we go take a look?”
There’s a commercial street complementing Starlight City, and Yang Hao noticed a sign on a coffee shop for a transfer the last time he passed by.
“Right now?”
Wang Xueru didn’t expect Yang Hao to be even more eager than herself.
“Shall we take a stroll around before we go?”
Yang Hao placed his hand on the beautiful young woman’s soft waist, suggesting with a smile.
“Then let’s take a look.”
Wang Xueru felt a bit tired; mainly because this man didn’t follow conventional paths, she needed to take it slow.
