Chapter 141: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian_2
"Aunt Han, I want to ask you about something,"
Han Xueying instinctively tensed up.
This kid, he couldn't be planning to confess his feelings to her, could he?
"I want to inquire about entrepreneurship in college. If I were to start a business, would it be easier to get a business license through the school?"
Li Zhiyan didn't have much entrepreneurial experience. He had been reborn just a month ago and had managed to earn a million because of the system.
These matters were definitely something Han Xueying would understand, given that Wancheng had always had favorable policies towards college entrepreneurship.
"You want to start a business?"
This time, Han Xueying was genuinely surprised, even feeling a bit incredulous.
In front of her, this kid was actually thinking about starting a business, while other students were busy discussing which girl was pretty or which internet café near the school had better computers.
But Li Zhiyan was already considering entrepreneurship!
Thinking about it, Han Xueying felt a sense of wonder.
"Yeah, just a small venture; I want to open a milk tea shop on the school's business street."
Han Xueying truly found it incredible.
"A milk tea shop? The rent for a spot on that business street is very expensive,"
"Even a very small storefront could cost fifteen or sixteen thousand a year in rent."
Li Zhiyan knew that the current rent wasn't too high.
Just wait, as real estate prices soar, any random storefront could command rents in the hundreds of thousands per year.
Now was relatively cheap.
"Where is your capital coming from? Did your family give it to you?"
After learning that Li Zhiyan came from a single-parent family, Han Xueying had always felt pity for him, believing his family's financial situation must be poor.
But now she realized, it seemed not to be the case.
Li Zhiyan, at his age thinking about opening a milk tea shop, could only mean one thing—he was a rich second generation.
"No, that's not it."
"Aunt Han, I made some money during the summer break, and it would be a waste to just hold onto it during college, so I thought of opening a milk tea shop as an investment."
"After all, money depreciates in value when left idle."
Han Xueying looked at Li Zhiyan, always feeling he was not like the average freshman; he knew so much, and he understood that money depreciates over time.
And the money to open the milk tea shop, he earned it himself?
This means that at the age of 18, he had earned at least two hundred thousand!
"Li Zhiyan, are you serious?"
"Yeah, Aunt Han, so I want to ask you to help me inquire about the business license, as it might be too troublesome for me to do it myself."
Han Xueying's heart was continuously filled with astonishment.
Then, she nodded her head.
"Once you rent the storefront, Auntie will handle that for you."
"It's the department head who's in charge of this matter."
"Just need to get it through the department head."
Han Xueying couldn't help but pat Li Zhiyan on the head.
Mature women always like talented kids, and Han Xueying was no exception.
"Li Zhiyan."
"Auntie wants to ask you a question, how did you make your money?"
"Ordinary part-time jobs definitely couldn't earn you a huge sum like several hundred thousand."
Li Zhiyan didn't hide anything, as it wasn't a secret.
To quickly close the gap with Aunt Han, it was essential for her to take a liking to him.
"Aunt Han, I've been working on French translation."
"And I do some computer programming as well."
"I've solved quite a few tough problems and managed to make several hundred thousand during the lucky summer."
Li Zhiyan's words left Han Xueying at a loss for words, those hundreds of thousands, he had earned them during one summer!
"You speak French?"
"Yes, Aunt Han, I self-studied French for some time and got pretty good at it, so I took part-time work doing French translations."
Li Zhiyan could feel increasingly the strength of the system; the skills he learned could actually make so much money.
"Could you speak some French to Auntie?"
"Sure."
Afterward, Li Zhiyan spoke with Han Xueying in French for a while and translated several things into French for her.
This rapidly increased Han Xueying's favorable impression of Li Zhiyan.
"By the way, Li Zhiyan, I still have to advise you not to open a milk tea shop."
"There are a bit too many milk tea shops outside the school on the business street."
"Basically, they're everywhere, and most milk tea shops close down within a month."
"You could end up losing a lot of money."
Li Zhiyan, however, was very confident.
"Aunt Han, don't worry, I'm confident I can make the milk tea shop thrive."
Han Xueying looked at the strongly self-assured Li Zhiyan.
Her heart grew curious.
She didn't understand where Li Zhiyan's confidence came from.
He was only 18, could he really understand the ins and outs of running a shop?
In the following time, Han Xueying kept trying to make Li Zhiyan realize just how difficult it would be to open a milk tea shop on such a competitive business street.
Making money wasn't easy, but Li Zhiyan was persistent, leaving Han Xueying feeling deeply helpless.
It seemed the only thing she could think about was how to help reduce Li Zhiyan's losses afterward.
That was the most practical thing to do.
As the two chatted, Han Xueying noticed Su Mengyue sneak peeks in their direction from time to time.
"Li Zhiyan, have you really not considered Su Mengyue? She's really beautiful and has a great figure, you know. Countless guys are wildly infatuated with her."
Li Zhiyan continued to decline.
"Aunt Han, haven't I told you before? I like women your age, Su Mengyue is too young, she lacks a womanly charm."
