In the evening, Luo Chuan diligently tutored Tu Jun, Zhu Wei Jiao, and the others, starting from the first year of high school curriculum. There was no other way; their foundation was too weak, otherwise they wouldn't have achieved a shocking score of 9 in mathematics.
Fortunately, they had been putting in the effort recently and were no longer just guessing when doing their homework. Though their accuracy was still touching, it was a good start.
Zhu Wei Jiao was the most diligent among them. It seemed that she had found a goal, and her terrifying "involution" to some extent also motivated the other three.
As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about brothers not trying hard, you just have to worry about them wanting to make progress.
Seeing such a huge change in Zhu Wei Jiao, even Tu Jun felt restless when he wanted to go out and play.
At 8 pm, Luo Chuan looked at the time and felt it was about time to let Tu Jun and the others go home. Now that time was plentiful, there was no need to tutor them until late every night.
“Jiao Jiao, why aren't you leaving yet?”
Luo Chuan curiously asked Zhu Wei Jiao who was lingering,
“Where?” Zhu Wei Jiao said,
“My old man said to let you go to our house after the tutoring session today.”
“What's the matter?”
“How would I know, they won't tell me,” Zhu Wei Jiao said with dissatisfaction.
“Then let's go, I'll go with you.”
“Okay.”
A few minutes later, Luo Chuan and Zhu Wei Jiao arrived at her house. After knocking, Jiao Dad opened the door.
“Uncle,” Luo Chuan greeted him.
“You’re here, come in and sit down,” Jiao Dad smiled and opened the door.
Upon entering, though the room was not big, it was very warm. In the living room, Jiao Ma was busy preparing vegetables and noodles for tomorrow.
“Auntie.”
“Xiao Chuan is here, come in and sit down,” Jiao Ma wiped her hands with a towel and poured a glass of water for Luo Chuan. Luo Chuan quickly took it.
At this time, Jiao Dad said to Zhu Wei Jiao,
“Jiao Jiao, you go back to your room first, I have something to talk to Chuan about.”
Zhu Wei Jiao, who originally wanted to listen, immediately said in dissatisfaction,
“What are you doing? You two are always acting secretive. Even if you let me listen, I wouldn't want to.”
She directly took her schoolbag and went into the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Jiao Dad chuckled dryly and said,
“This little girl is spoiled by the two of us.”
“Jiao Jie is fine like this.”
Then Luo Chuan said frankly,
“Uncle, Auntie, did you have something to tell me today?”
Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma looked at each other, Jiao Dad coughed and said,
“Chuan, you're a little adult now. You can make your own decisions about some things. We have no right to lecture you, but I still want to tell you as an adult.”
The cautious attitude of Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma made Luo Chuan even more curious about what they wanted to say.
“Uncle, Auntie, you are the elders. If I’ve done anything wrong, you can tell me directly.”
Seeing that Luo Chuan didn't have any obvious aversion, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma relaxed a bit.
After organizing his thoughts, Jiao Dad said to Luo Chuan,
“Chuan, I see you’ve bought a new phone and clothes recently. You must have spent a lot of money.”
Luo Chuan thought for a moment and nodded.
“It's like this, although I don't know how much your old man left you, no matter how much money you have, it won't last if you spend like this.”
“You are just a student now, and you don't have the ability to make money, so every penny you have should be carefully spent for your future. Do you think I make sense?”
Luo Chuan thought about the gold bars hidden in his house, the balance in his bank card, and the apartment in the city center, and nodded heavily.
He really should be more careful with his spending. It was still a long way to go before he could achieve financial freedom with just those things.
Moreover, Jiao Dad's words reminded Luo Chuan of something, that he needed a source of income to cover his daily expenses.
He didn't care how he spent his money elsewhere, but in Daxing Village, everyone knew each other well, so many things couldn't be brought to the surface.
Seeing that Luo Chuan seemed to have taken it to heart, Jiao Dad nodded in satisfaction.
“It's good that you can listen. Don't be so extravagant in the future. If you have any problems, you can come to me and your Auntie.”
Luo Chuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something, raised his head and smiled,
“I think what Uncle said is right, I should also start thinking about my future now. So, Uncle, Auntie, would you like to start a business together?”
Shocked!
Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma looked at each other, both seeing the blankness, shock, and a touch of helplessness in each other's eyes. What was this child talking about? Did he really think business was so easy?
Before Jiao Dad could speak, Luo Chuan took the lead and said,
“Uncle, Auntie, listen to me first. I'm not joking, I know what I'm talking about.”
Jiao Dad asked tentatively,
“Chuan, do you have any ideas?”
“Yeah,” Luo Chuan nodded and continued,
“Uncle, do you remember the braised meat I made during Chinese New Year?”
“How could I forget? That taste was simply amazing,” Jiao Dad slapped his thigh, just thinking about that taste made his mouth water. He seemed to have a vague idea of the business Luo Chuan was talking about.
As expected, the next second, Luo Chuan directly stated his idea. He could provide the braised meat recipe, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma could sell it, and the profit would be divided according to the ratio.
Of course, they would only make a small amount of braised meat to start. If it really worked out, they could expand the scale later.
Although Luo Chuan's plan was very simple, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma weren't fools. They naturally saw the business opportunities within, and the most important part of the plan was the taste of the braised meat. If the taste didn't attract customers, it would be empty talk.
Only on this point did Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma have extra confidence, because they had personally tasted it, a surefire winning combination.
It's hard to deny, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma were tempted.
They decided to do it. Sometimes, there's only one chance to turn your life around, it just depends on whether you can seize it. Obviously, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma had seized it.
The three of them started planning in this small living room. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they started arguing loudly when they got excited.
During this time, Jiao Dad and Jiao Ma didn't notice that they had placed Luo Chuan on an equal footing, no longer treating him like a child.
Soon, the three of them came up with a preliminary plan, but they disagreed on the profit share.
Because Luo Chuan felt that he was only providing a recipe, while the manpower and material costs were all from Jiao Dad, he only wanted 20% of the profits, which was actually not low.
But Jiao Dad disagreed. He felt that Luo Chuan's recipe was the key. To be blunt, there were many people who would be willing to cooperate with Luo Chuan with this recipe. What were they?
The fact that Luo Chuan was willing to cooperate with them was already a favor to them, and they shouldn't be greedy.
After repeated negotiations, Luo Chuan got 30% of the total profits, and the recipe would always be controlled by him. In other words, Jiao Dad had tied their family to Luo Chuan.
This gave Luo Chuan a strange feeling of gratitude and a heavy sense of responsibility.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Luo Chuan left Zhu Wei Jiao's house.
