Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Lin Zhenghong never expected that his youngest son would have the idea of ​​starting a business.

Not to brag, but his family is quite large and successful. Entering the family business, his starting point was higher than 90% of people.

Moreover, according to his understanding, the third son received a commoner's education from a young age and did not show any ambition during his school years.

Lin Zhenghong couldn't understand why he would have the idea of ​​starting a business. As the saying goes, it's not that we're afraid of rich kids squandering their money, it's that we're afraid of rich kids starting their own businesses.

However, if Lin Zhenghong were to give Chu Yu a sum of money to start his business and lose it, it wouldn't be too painful for him. It's also important for a man to have a spirit of daring to fight and take risks.

Perhaps because Lin Zhenghong's expression was too serious and he remained silent while thinking, Zhao Ruoying thought that he disagreed with Chu Yu's decision to start a business and was afraid that he would discourage the child.

She said, "Xiao Bao, Mom supports you. What industry do you plan to work in? How much start-up capital do you need? Mom will invest in it for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenghong, who was standing to the side, said helplessly, "I didn't say I didn't support him starting his own business. I just felt that since he hadn't been out in the workforce before, it would be better for him to gain experience in his own company first, understand the company's operating model, and then start his own business."

After speaking, she looked at Chu Yu and asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Chu Yu nodded slightly, looking like he had been taught a lesson, and said, "Dad, what you said makes sense, but I've already thought it through and have a preliminary plan. I plan to start in Beijing and open a nationwide chain of fast food restaurants. Next, I will carefully investigate the market and select locations. I am confident that I can do it well."

Then he turned to Zhao Ruoying and said, "Mom, thank you for your support. I don't need the start-up capital. Didn't you give me a card with five million before? That should be enough for the early stages of my business?"

Zhao Ruoying laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for? Why are you thanking your own mother? That five million is for your allowance, it's hardly start-up capital. I'll have your dad transfer another five million to you later, that's real start-up capital."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Zhenghong. Although Lin Zhenghong felt that the child should not be spoiled like this, he thought that giving the child tens of thousands a month would be enough for living expenses.

If they were given too much money, they wouldn't have the motivation to work hard. However, he couldn't harden his heart for his youngest son, who had been missing for over twenty years, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although the catering industry is highly competitive now, if you create enough hype in the early stages, you can build a popular brand and collect franchise fees, which is a sure thing. You can use it to practice."

Clearly, Lin Zhenghong didn't take Chu Yu's talk of opening a nationwide chain seriously; he just thought Chu Yu wanted to make a quick buck.

He praised Chu Yu a few more times for having good ideas, but actually he didn't want to discourage his son's confidence in his first business venture; he didn't really think he would make money.

Chu Yu wasn't a complete naiveté, so how could he not see through Lin Zhenghong's true intentions? He didn't offer any further explanation, as it would be pointless; only the final results would prove everything.

Unable to contain himself, he thought to himself: "You think the restaurant industry in your world is so competitive? Even the food prepared by the chef we hire at home isn't particularly delicious to Chu Yu."

On the surface, however, he showed no sign of what he was thinking, and smiled as he echoed Lin Zhenghong's words.

Zhao Ruoying was very interested in her youngest son's first business venture and asked him a lot of questions about his future plans, which Chu Yu patiently explained to her.

During the conversation, Zhao Ruoying showered Chu Yu with praise, but she added at the end, "Xiao Bao, your dad and I support your entrepreneurial endeavors, but if you feel tired or don't want to continue, you can always come back to our family company."

In her heart, she also felt that it was better for the child to stay in their own company and not suffer outside. However, she would definitely support Chu Yu in doing what he wanted to do.

But she also wants her children to know that if they don't want to start a business, they can stop at any time, and they should never force themselves to do it.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

Besides wanting to start his own company, Chu Yu also genuinely didn't want to join the Lin family's business.

Lin Zhenghong is still in his prime and serves as the chairman of the group. His eldest son, Lin Yiming, is the general manager, his daughter, Lin Yiwan, is the finance director, and his son-in-law, Zhou Jingshan, is the marketing director.

During these days, when Lin Yiming and Lin Yiwan went back to the Lin family home for dinner, Chu Yu could tell from their conversations and expressions that the two were not on good terms.

He knew perfectly well why: the two were vying for the true inheritance of the Lin family and control of the family business, and Chu Yu had no desire to get involved in their mess.

After Lin Zhenghong and Zhao Ruoying pass away, the successor who can lead the company and the one who receives monthly dividends from shares are two different things.

Lin Zhenghong did not subscribe to the idea that the "throne" should be inherited by his son; he believed in the principle of meritocracy.

Whoever is capable makes the decisions, while those who are not capable simply collect their share of the profits. The rivalry between the two is turned a blind eye, and little intervention is made.

While the three were chatting, Chu Yu remembered that he was going out with Zhao Haiting that evening, so he said, "By the way, Dad, Mom, I won't be having dinner at home tonight. My cousin invited me to an event."

"Hai Ting? What activity did he invite you to?" Lin Zhenghong frowned at the mention of his wife's nephew.

The child is a good kid, sweet-talking and polite, but not only is his career not doing well, he also likes to mess around with women. When did the third brother get so close to him?

Chu Yu replied, "It seems to be a fashion show and banquet for a jewelry brand, but I didn't ask for details."

In front of Zhao Ruoying, Lin Zhenghong couldn't say anything like, "You must not follow Zhao Haiting's example and change women more often than you change socks." He could only advise him, "Well, normal socializing is fine, but drink less alcohol. Don't forget you were just discharged from the hospital not long ago."

"Okay, Dad."

Seeing this scene of filial piety, Zhao Ruoying felt truly happy and jokingly said, "It's really not easy to be so caring. Xiaobao, your brother and sister don't get this kind of treatment."

Lin Zhenghong shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "All you do is smear me in front of the kids. When have I ever stopped caring about my eldest and second son?!"

......

After the casual chat and rest time following breakfast, Lin Zhenghong went to the company, while Zhao Ruoying had an appointment with her friends to go see some art exhibition.

Chu Yu drove around the city to check out the popular fast food brands in Beijing and even tried some of their food.

In his opinion, while it wasn't exactly unpalatable, it was really just average.

However, he only got a basic understanding today, since actually opening a store requires in-depth market research and various preparations.

After wandering around for most of the day, Chu Yu returned home and had just finished showering. Before he could even get dressed properly, Zhao Haiting had already arrived.
