Cheng Su wants to start a new seafood dry goods business, but faces concerns from her parents about funding and managing it alongside her existing ventures and studies. She proposes solutions involving trusted family members and hiring reliable staff to oversee operations, particularly the crucial initial procurement phase.

Cheng Su's resolve was firm, and no persuasion could sway her. She informed her family of her decision, not for their counsel, but simply to make them aware.

Having known her for such a long time, not only Mother Qi who had witnessed her unwavering determination firsthand, but even her biological parents, Father Cheng and Mother Cheng, understood that when Cheng Su declared her intention to open a Seafood Shop, it was far beyond idle chatter. Given her character, abandoning such a plan was simply out of the question.

Father Cheng cast a glance toward his in-laws and stated, "It's insufficient for you to make this decision unilaterally. You must consult with Taiguo. A married couple ought to discuss matters together and not act independently."

He aimed to preemptively mitigate any potential displeasure from his wife's parents.

Cheng Su grasped her father's underlying intention. Even without his suggestion, she would have discussed it with Qi Taiguo regardless. After all, launching another venture in Guangcheng was a significant undertaking. "This concept emerged from identifying a viable business prospect," she explained. "Naturally, I will confer with him before proceeding with any actions."

Hearing this, Father Qi and Mother Qi felt a measure of relief. The prospect of a daughter-in-law who was overly dominant and a son unable to assert himself presented an uncomfortable dynamic for anyone.

That evening, as they prepared for bed, Mother Qi couldn't refrain from asking her husband, "Do you believe this Seafood Shop will be profitable? Aren't those items rather costly? Where will she obtain the necessary capital?"

Father Qi was smoking; with his grandson present, his smoking was confined to the room. Upon hearing the question, he replied, "Our daughter-in-law has been involved in several businesses; she must possess some savings, wouldn't you agree? Since she's determined to pursue this, she has likely devised a method to access the funds. There's no need for you to fret over this!"

"My concern is solely that she might not generate sufficient revenue. Just how expensive are those goods? Can the average person afford them? In my view, leasing out that shop for a consistent rental income would be a guaranteed profit." Mother Qi's thinking was straightforward.

Father Qi let out a scoff, "This explains why you've remained in ordinary circumstances thus far. Business inherently involves fluctuations. As the adage goes, establishing a shop is simple, but sustaining its operation is challenging. Success demands perseverance and diligent effort. If apprehension of failure paralyzes you before you even begin, how can anything ever be achieved? Your perspective simply cannot measure up to hers."

Mother Qi pursed her lips, "I admit I'm not particularly worldly; I haven't experienced much of the world, so naturally, I cannot compare to her."

Father Qi found himself at a loss for words. "Just let the matter rest. Young people possess their own outlooks. They should be allowed to strive. If they wish to undertake something, offer your support. Your role is to enjoy your life and care for our grandson!"

He had never opposed Cheng Su's entrepreneurial pursuits. Who would object to increased wealth? Who would not desire their family's prosperity, ensuring a comfortable existence for future generations?

"I was merely voicing my thoughts; I harbored no ill intentions. You old man, acting as if I'm initiating a dispute. Go to sleep!" Mother Qi declared with exasperation, settling into bed.

Disregarding his wife's mild complaints, Father Qi rolled his eyes, finished his cigarette, and also lay down on the bed.

Unforeseenly, Mother Qi sat up once more and stated, "If this shop indeed materializes, we must ensure Jianguo contributes. We cannot perpetually rely on her family's backing. Otherwise, who can say whether this family endeavor will ultimately bear the Qi name or the Cheng name?"

Father Qi responded, "Regardless of whether it's Qi or Cheng, in the future, it will undoubtedly belong to Xiao Qi. Cease this fussing; it's about maintaining dignity for both families. Get some sleep now!"

Mother Qi uttered a few indistinct words before finally drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Father Cheng and his wife were also engaged in a discussion regarding the same matter.

"Her ambition continues to grow," Father Cheng remarked with a sigh.

Mother Cheng yawned and replied, "Allow her the freedom to pursue it. If she can achieve success, it will serve as a testament to her capabilities. At the very least, it will be her own enterprise."

"My only hope is that she will consult more frequently with Taiguo and refrain from making unilateral decisions. A man is meant to be the head of the household!"

"You are worrying unnecessarily. Do you truly believe your daughter lacks intelligence? Rest assured, she is fully aware of her actions!" With that, Mother Cheng paid him no further heed.

Father Cheng conceded the wisdom in her words. His daughter had always demonstrated sound judgment, prompting him to abandon his excessive concerns.
