Chapter 779: Chapter 765: Competing

"Well, it’s a long story, and I’m not too clear on how their minds work. Now that I know the reason, I can’t help him solve it. Only my grandparents can help him with this. Otherwise, I guess that couple will come to find him again," Xia Yue said with a helpless shrug, feeling based on their familiarity that this matter wouldn’t end so easily.

"You mean you can’t even handle two ordinary people? You can’t be that weak, can you?" Wei Se looked at her skeptically.

"It’s not a matter of whether I can handle them. It’s just that this affair is too complex and convoluted, not something that can be easily settled.

First, let’s see if my brother will talk to our grandparents. If he doesn’t, I’ll speak for him. After all, he’s my brother, and he’ll be the future manager of this resort area. I can’t let him run off; otherwise, there’d be no one to do the work," Xia Yue considered, her eyes showing determination.

Wei Se wondered if she was helping Xia Yu because of their kinship or because she wanted him to work for her.

"Alright, now that I’ve told you the reason, remember to get me a shop quickly," Wei Se said to Xia Yue.

"I’ll take you tomorrow to check out shops. What kind of shop do you want to open?" Xia Yue inquired about her situation first, intending to select a few options for her to choose from based on her needs.

"I think I’ll start a clothing store. I’ll bring over the fabrics woven by my subjects. I’ve researched, and people here seem to really like some traditional cultural crafts. My subjects are quite skilled at weaving, so their fabrics should be popular here," Wei Se said, having already considered this issue thoroughly.

"That’s possible. You could also make some finished garments, which people would buy." Xia Yue thought it was a good idea when she heard Wei Se’s plan. Many people were fond of traditional crafts, and selling these could indeed be good for business.

"I know. I can also make some clothing from past dynasties. I’ve studied that too. Many garments are similar to the styles of your country’s ancient dynasties, and I know how to make them. I’ve noticed a lot of people like these things," Wei Se nodded, sharing her other ideas.

"That’s very good. I’ll find you a shop location later, and you can choose then," Xia Yue nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I’m off to have fun," Wei Se said, feeling there wasn’t anything else to discuss, and she didn’t want to stay any longer.

"Sure, bye," Xia Yue waved goodbye.

Wei Se waved her hand and left.

After she left, Xia Yue immediately called up the system’s virtual screen, opened the holographic map of the resort area, and checked for vacant shops on Commercial Street. Thinking that a clothing business wouldn’t mix well with food establishments, she selected a few good spots away from restaurants.

After making her choice, she noted down the positions of the shops and turned off the virtual screen.

She then diligently looked after the pets with Sea Otter until it was time to clock off.

Refreshed after a rest and a meal, Xia Yu found a time when the elders were around and went to their courtyard.

"Why do you look as if someone has drained you of energy? It’s just a job transition, isn’t it? Did your uncle give you a hard time?" Startled by Xia Yu’s appearance, the elder Xia asked with a frown, then thought it unlikely, as his eldest son was not that kind of person.

"No, no, my uncle hasn’t made things difficult for me. I just didn’t sleep well," Xia Yu hastily waved his hands to explain, fearing his grandfather would call and confront his uncle.

"Is it because your parents won’t let you resign and keep pestering you every day?" Xia Yue’s grandmother sat to one side, looking at him seriously.

Xia Yu kept silent, not knowing what to say.

"Those two fools, always so short-sighted. If it weren’t for you siblings, I would have driven him out a long time ago," the elder Xia immediately knew from Xia Yu’s silence that his wife had guessed correctly and started scolding in anger.

"Mom and Dad just don’t know the situation here; they are worried about my future. Grandpa, Grandma, don’t be too hard on them," Xia Yu hurriedly intervened. After all, these were his parents, and he didn’t want them to be scolded because of him.

"Fine, we know exactly what kind of people they are. For your sake, I won’t scold them for now. But if they dare to come here, I’ll send them to work in the mountains. They’re too idle," the elder Xia said, agreeing not to argue with them for the time being, seeing how his grandson had spoken up.

"How’s the job handover going?" Knowing it was not good to continue on this topic for Xia Yu, the grandmother changed the subject.

"It’s going well. Xia Tian and Qingqing have already got the hang of it. They might not be too proficient yet, but they work methodically. With my uncle supervising, nothing major can go wrong," Xia Yu briefed them on the situation.

"That’s good," the elder Xia nodded.

"Is Qingqing happy with her job?" Xia Yue’s grandmother found it strange that Xia Qing had decided to work, as she was previously interested in art.

"I heard that the Bai Family plans to let Bai Yuran work at the company, and Qingqing found out and wants to do as well as her. She was very serious when I was teaching her, and she’s also studying hard at home," Xia Yu didn’t understand what she was competing for, but as long as she tried hard and didn’t act up, he thought it was very good.

The elder Xia couple, hearing the reason, were speechless but had no objections as long as she did well and didn’t cause chaos at the company.
