While competition between industries can indeed foster development, it's clearly a waste of resources when two companies invested in by the same entity are competing with each other.
Little did Zhao Feiyan know, Liu Kai Xuan had suggested she develop the automotive industry. His intention was precisely for her to venture into automobile manufacturing. However, after hearing Liu Kai Xuan's suggestion, Zhao Feiyan expressed significant worry. Developing the automotive industry requires immense resources, talent, technology, and capital. Zhao Feiyan currently had no preparation whatsoever, and no confidence in her ability to succeed in the automotive sector.
Since Zhao Feiyan lacked confidence, Liu Kai Xuan decided to take on the task himself. After all, there was no need for such a clear division between husband and wife; regardless of who led the venture, the goal was profit. Subsequently, Liu Kai Xuan would concentrate a majority of Kai Xuan Group's resources on fully developing the automotive industry, aiming to establish his automobile factory as soon as possible. The car trade market, he decided, could be left to Zhao Feiyan.
In reality, Zhao Feiyan's business acumen was no less than Liu Kai Xuan's. However, she lacked Liu Kai Xuan's "foresighted vision" as a transmigrator. Therefore, they would complement each other's strengths and embark on a grand endeavor together as a couple.
The grand opening ceremony lasted for the better part of the day, gradually winding down as dusk approached. It was at this time that Zhao Tian Hai finally found Liu Kai Xuan and Zhao Feiyan in the main hall.
"Dad, why are you here? Is something wrong?" Liu Kai Xuan immediately pulled up a stool for Zhao Tian Hai upon seeing him approach.
Zhao Tian Hai said loudly, "Feiyan, come over here too. I have a few words to say to you two."
Zhao Feiyan smiled and replied, "Dad, what are you up to, being so secretive!"
Zhao Tian Hai and Jiang Ai Ying were still helping out at Feiyan Restaurant. Although their work didn't contribute much to the restaurant's development anymore, the elderly couple simply couldn't sit idle and insisted on keeping busy. He had walked a considerable distance from the restaurant to the trading company after finishing his shift. His urgent arrival meant there was indeed something important: "Kai Xuan, Feiyan!"
"You two haven't been together for just a day or two!"
"From your marriage until now, you've been a couple for over ten years!"
"That's right!" Zhao Feiyan nodded, "Kai Xuan and I have indeed been married for over ten years!"
"Dad, is there something you wanted to say?"
"Of course!" Zhao Tian Hai nodded. "Feiyan, your relationship as a couple has always been excellent!"
"And now, your respective careers are also developing very well!"
"It's precisely at times like these that you must maintain your marital relationship! You absolutely must not let trivial matters disrupt the harmony of the family; that would be too regrettable!"
"Uh..." Zhao Feiyan asked, completely bewildered, "Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I'm a bit confused now." Not only Zhao Feiyan, but Liu Kai Xuan was also completely clueless, like a monk at sea. Seeing Zhao Tian Hai's demeanor, it was clear he was there to "mediate." One might think Liu Kai Xuan and Zhao Feiyan had a major conflict.
Zhao Tian Hai continued, "Feiyan, you keep asking me if you and Kai Xuan have had a disagreement?"
"Kai Xuan had already opened several car dealerships, and now you're also stepping into this area. Isn't that clearly provoking him!"
"Oh! So that's what you're talking about!" Zhao Feiyan finally understood.
"Yes!" Zhao Tian Hai said worriedly, "You two have already achieved great success individually!"
"Feiyan, you've accomplished so much as a woman; you should be content! Money can be earned back if lost, but family relationships cannot be discarded!"
Zhao Feiyan chuckled, "Dad, what are you thinking? Kai Xuan and I have always had a very good relationship; please stop overthinking things!"
"My starting this car trading company was something I discussed with Kai Xuan beforehand!"
"In the future, the development focus of our two companies will be different, so how could we possibly have a conflict over such a matter?"
"You two really aren't fighting?" Zhao Tian Hai still seemed somewhat unconvinced.
Zhao Feiyan replied with a wry smile, "Dad, do we look like we're in a dispute? If we were truly in conflict, why would Kai Xuan come to my shop to help with the ribbon-cutting ceremony?"
"Not to mention, he didn't just attend the opening ceremony today; he even stayed to help me out all day!"
"So that's how it is!" Zhao Tian Hai repeatedly nodded. "In that case, I can rest assured!"
As it was getting late, Liu Kai Xuan drove Zhao Tian Hai home. Upon seeing Zhao Tian Hai return, Jiang Ai Ying rushed over.
"How was it, Old Zhao? Did the young couple have a disagreement?"
"What disagreement?" Zhao Tian Hai replied with a wry smile. "The relationship between these two is very harmonious!"
"Feiyan's venture into car trading was something she discussed with Kai Xuan in advance; there's no conflict."
"Is that so? Then I can finally relax!" Jiang Ai Ying nodded, her worried heart finally at ease.
"Mom, since Feiyan has also started a car company, why don't you let me work at her car company?" Just as Zhao Tian Hai and his wife finished their conversation, Chen Yue couldn't help but interject.
Jiang Ai Ying looked at Chen Yue and asked, "Chen Yue, you're doing a good job as the manager at the restaurant. Why do you need to stir up trouble?"
"How is this stirring up trouble?" Chen Yue replied calmly, "Mom, I genuinely want to help Feiyan do something!"
"After all, we're all family, and it's only right for us to help each other!"
Jiang Ai Ying still had some reservations, but she finally agreed to let Chen Yue discuss it with Zhao Feiyan. Chen Yue was truly impatient now! When Chen Yue first worked as a deputy manager at Zhao Feiyan's restaurant, Zhao Feiyan only had two restaurants under her. But now, Zhao Feiyan's assets had rapidly expanded, with dozens more restaurant branches!
