“Moreover, it’s not just this new batch of students who will want to take photos! If the existing students also want their photos taken, then we can even make more money! Heavens… we can earn 20,000 to 30,000 dollars a day!” Xia He exclaimed.

“Uh-huh. By then, if you can open your own photo studio, you’ll be racking it in every year. Every year, there will be a new batch of students starting school. Moreover, when the current students graduate, they will also want to take photos. That’s a lot of money waiting to be made,” Qiao Mei said.

“But under the current climate, are we allowed to make money from this? I’m not sure if it’s illegal to do this…” Xia He said worriedly.

The economy would only fully open up next year. There were still some restrictions now, but what they were doing was not really a big thing. As long as they pulled some strings and worked together with existing photo studios, there should not be any problems. Later on, they could get Xia Wen to help them along the way. It was not a dream to be able to become rich!

One could only make money if one was bold enough. If one was too overcautious, one would not be able to make it big.

“I’ll go and talk to my contacts now!” Xia He said excitedly.

“It’s not that urgent. Let’s go home and talk to Mother about this first. It’s more important to get her to stop grounding you! Otherwise, how are you going to go out and earn money? Do I have to think of a reason to get you out of the house every time?” Qiao Mei said helplessly.

“Quick, quick, quick! Let’s go home now! I can’t wait! Heavens, my big house is no longer just a dream! There’s so much money to be made! This is too exciting!” Xia He waved her hands excitedly.

Xia He’s dream had always been to be a famous dancer. Now that she had fulfilled her dream and even gone on a national tour, she wanted to work hard towards becoming a world-famous dancer. However, in order to reassure Xu

Lan, she decided to put this dream on hold for the time being and wait for Xu Lan to completely recover from her current anxiety issues.

The most important thing now was to earn lots of money! Who would ever reject money?

The moment Qiao Mei parked the car, Xia He leaped out and ran home. She grabbed hold of Xu Lan and started talking about all her grand ambitions, repeating everything which Qiao Mei had just said to her.

“Mother! Believe me! I’ll definitely be able to earn a lot of money this time round!” Xia He looked at Xu Lan expectantly.

“Are you sure?” Xu Lan asked suspiciously.

Xia He quickly showed Xu Lan all the money she had earned today. When Xu Lan saw it, she fell silent. At that exact moment, Qiao Mei walked in from outside and said, “Mother, this is a really good business opportunity. Xia He can just work behind the scenes, making sure there are enough supplies and being in charge of the money. She can hire people to do the rest.”

“That’s right! This is such a rare opportunity! The critical period is those first few days of school! We can’t waste time. Every minute is money! Mother, just let me do it!” Xia He said.

“Since Qiao Mei says that this is a good business idea, then you can go ahead,” Xu Lan said reluctantly.

During this period of time, Deng Fan had made a lot of money from Qiao Mei and was more than able to afford the cameras and film needed. Deng Fan was also very supportive of Xia He going into business. Xia He went ahead and bought 20 cameras, as well as all the film factory’s stock.

To ensure that Xia He went into the venture boldly, Qiao Mei promised Xia He that she could keep whatever profits they made. In the event that the business lost money, Qiao Mei would think of a way to deal with the film and cameras. She would make sure that Xia He did not suffer any loss.

“Mother, Xia He is already an adult. She has to go out and experience the ups and downs in life. Besides, she has already learnt from her past mistakes. From now on, she will inform the family in advance before she goes anywhere,” Qiao Mei sat beside Xu Lan and persuaded her.

“l know that too, but I’m just worried that something will happen to her… I still have lingering fears from what happened the last time and I can’t sleep well every night,” Xu Lan said as she held her chest.

“Have you been drinking the medicinal wine 1 gave you on a daily basis? Also, you have to put those lingzhi in your drinking water. You can’t be lax about this. Your health is very important,” Qiao Mei reminded her.

“Yes, I’ve taken all that. I’m just still worried. Actually, I also know that I can’t keep Xia He locked up at home, but what else can I do?” Xu Lan said.

“Look, hasn’t Xia He been very obedient recently? When we talked about the business idea today, she even asked me to drive home so that she can discuss it with you first. If you don’t let her go out and work, she will still stay at home with you, but she has already learned her lesson. Mother, you should also give her a break and let her go out for a breather,” Qiao Mei persuaded.

“Alright, I’ll take your advice. But Xia He must tell me in advance if she wants to go out of town!” Xu Lan said.

“Of course,” Qiao Mei replied with a smile..
