Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 97: Where Does the Money Come From

Gu Yi only realized she’d forgotten to look for Wang Yuan after she’d organized everything.

Ye Hao’s place in her heart was becoming more significant.

After looking at the shop with Li Yitian, she thought about coming back to cook for Ye Hao.

She figured she could make another trip. There was still time before school started, so it would be fine to visit in a few days.

The weather was too hot, and the bus didn’t have air conditioning.

The windows were open, but the dirt road leading to the base was dusty all the way.

That evening, she told Ye Hao about it.

Ye Hao couldn’t help but smile.

For the next few days, Gu Yi cooked at home, waiting for Ye Hao.

After dinner, they’d take a walk together.

Back home, they would chat a little.

Recently, they spent every day together, and their feelings for each other deepened.

The moment Ye Hao looked forward to the most every day was coming home.

They didn’t do anything special; even chatting idly seemed interesting to them.

A few days later, Gu Yi made another trip into the city.

She bought some fruit and went to Wang Yuan’s house first.

"Sister Yi Yi, if you hadn’t come back today, I would have already left."

Wang Yuan was delighted when she opened the door and saw Gu Yi.

"Leaving? Where are you going?"

It was too hot, where could she be going?

"My parents said I passed this exam, so they’re taking me to the beach. I’ve never seen the sea before."

Wang Yuanyi explained, and Gu Yi understood that she was going on a trip.

"Well, have a great time. When are you leaving?"

Gu Yi asked with a smile.

"We’re leaving tomorrow, so you came just in time. If you’d been a day later, I would have already left to have fun."

"Seems like my luck is pretty good. I came by to ask when school starts and what we need to prepare."

Gu Yi originally wanted to ask Wang Yuan’s mother, who was a teacher at the Art College, thinking she would know.

However, Gu Yi didn’t come at the right time, as Wang Yuan’s mother wasn’t home.

But it should be fine to ask Wang Yuan; she probably knew too.

"We start on September 1st too, and don’t need to prepare much, although there will be military training before school starts, which is daunting to even think about."

Wang Yuan said with lingering fear. She’d gone through military training in high school, standing at attention and marching every day in the heat, which was exhausting.

People said that the military training at the Art College was much stricter than in high school.

"It’s alright, the training shouldn’t be too long; just grit your teeth and get through it."

Gu Yi hadn’t been through military training, but she knew how hard Ye Hao’s training was every day.

She figured school military training should be much simpler than Ye Hao’s training, something she could endure.

"Yeah, that’s true. Worrying doesn’t help, and there’s no escaping it. So when I’m out having fun tomorrow, I’ll just imagine I’m getting a preview of the military academy’s sun exposure."

Wang Yuan got into a good mood as she thought about going out the next day.

"Well, I wish you a happy trip. Have you packed? I have some other business, and I’ll come find you when you’re back, okay?"

Gu Yi was thinking about asking Li Yitian about the shop front, as there was nothing urgent to do at school for the time being.

"Oh, you’re leaving already? I wanted you to help me decide what clothes to bring."

Wang Yuan seemed disappointed to hear Gu Yi was leaving.

"Of course you should bring dresses to the beach, and be mindful of sun protection. Bring some long-sleeved clothes, and you could also take hats and scarves."

Gu Yi offered some suggestions.

"Okay, I’ll pack now. Thank you, Sister Yi Yi."

"You’re welcome. I’ll take my leave then."

"Okay, bye, Sister Yi Yi."

Gu Yi left Wang Yuan’s place and thought, since she was close to home, she might as well check on it.

No one had been staying there for days, so it was surely quite dusty.

When Gu Yi opened the door, it was better than she’d imagined.

She had closed the doors and windows before she left, though there was a slight smell in the house.

She opened the windows to let the air circulate.

She then filled a basin with water and went around wiping the place down.

When she was done, she left the windows open to keep it ventilated.

Gu Yi planned to come back later to close the windows if she had time, otherwise, she would stay in the city and return to the base the next day.

Gu Yi took a bus directly to Li Yitian’s place.

"You’re just in time. A friend of mine negotiated the shop’s price for you."

Li Yitian saw Gu Yi and poured her a glass of water, then told her about the shop.

"So, could you get a deal?"

Gu Yi asked.

"The shop’s 70 square meters, and the owner wants 145,000. That’s the lowest it’ll go. Do you want to buy?"

Li Yitian reported the price to Gu Yi.

"Alright, though it’s not cheap, I really want to buy it."

Gu Yi calculated and found the shop cost over 2,000 per square meter. While not cheap, she knew it would be a gold mine in the future, so she definitely wanted to own it.

"If you’ve decided, when are you available? Let’s sort out the paperwork with the owner."

Li Yitian knew Gu Yi’s determination; once she decided to buy, she would definitely go through with it.

"I’ll stay in the city tonight, so I’m free tomorrow. Are you busy tomorrow?"

Gu Yi didn’t want to delay; buying it sooner meant she could use it to open a new store.

"I’m available. I’ll bring my friend, and we’ll go find the owner."

"Great, I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow."

Every time Gu Yi did something in B City, she felt a bit bad about always troubling Li Yitian.

"Sure, I’ll choose something expensive."

Li Yitian laughed along.

"Pick whatever you like, any choice is fine."

Gu Yi said with a smile.

"There’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you."

Li Yitian suddenly got serious, looking at Gu Yi.

"What is it?"

Gu Yi straightened up instinctively.

"How much money have you made exactly? I know the dividends I give you and about your old store, but you’ve just bought an apartment in B City and now this shop. You seem so confident that the money should be enough. I’m really curious."

Li Yitian voiced his confusion. He knew that while Ye Hao’s family was relatively well-off compared to others in the village, buying a house and a shop like Gu Yi was impossible.

"I knew you’d ask. Since we’re partners now, I’ll be honest. I also collaborate with Good Taste Food Co., Ltd in B City, and they give me a share each year."

"Good Taste Food Co., Ltd? Isn’t that the big company in B City?"

Li Yitian looked at Gu Yi, almost in disbelief.

"Yes, that’s them."

Gu Yi nodded.

"How did you end up working with them?"

"I provided some food recipes, so the boss gave me a stake in their company."

Gu Yi didn’t elaborate.

"I think you must have a special connection with money. Ever since partnering with you, my business has gotten better and better. And you’re working with such a big company! I better stick close to you, or I might find myself at the top of the world one day."

Li Yitian thought the more closely he worked with Gu Yi, the more he wanted to collaborate with her.

Her many ideas were simply amazing, from fashion coordination, shop decor, the chain store, to the brand and trademark.
