The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie asked curiously, "How long has it been since the food street was bought over?"

Marianne thought for a while and said, "It must be for more than ten years now. My father bought it for me the year he got married." Charlie asked her, "Do you know how much it cost when he bought it?"

"I forgot..." Marianne said embarrassedly,' I'm actually not that sensitive in this aspect. I was still young at that time and simply thought that I wanted to keep the food street intact. So, I asked my father to buy it for me. I really do not know how much it cost." Charlie asked again, "How do you know that there is still a deficit of two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars every month, then?"

"The manager was the one who told me." Marianne said, "My father put someone else in charge of the operation of this food street before I became an adult. It was given to me to manage after 1 became an adult, but I do not know how to manage it. I only thought that I should not increase the rental to ensure that everyone can continue operating as usual. In addition, the general environment of the food street is quite dirty, especially the garbage and the number of rats and cockroaches. So, I asked the manager to arrange for special cleaning staff to help everyone clean up and ensure hygiene every day, clean up the garbage, and also catch the rats and cockroaches..."

Having said that, Marianne continued, "Oh! By the way, we did not lose that much money every month in the past, but we are losing more money now because the price of labor has been increasing. We have to pay the cleaners more than ten thousand Hong Kong dollars a month, so the deficit is getting bigger and bigger. It rose from tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in the beginning to two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars now."

As soon as Marianne's words fell, she could not help but say with a somewhat ashamed expression, "Aren't I quite a failure to do business this way?"

Charlie smiled and said, "I don't think so. Your food street is so prosperous and well-maintained. I believe that the price of land should also have increased a lot over the years, perhaps even multiple times over. As for the loss that you've mentioned, it is likely to be less than a fraction of the profit."

"Really?" Marianne suddenly came back to her senses and said with some chagrin," You're right... Why have I never thought about it in this sense for so many years? For so many years, I've always thought that I do not need to care about the monthly losses in the food street as long as my father's business gets bigger and bigger. I've never considered the appreciation of the value of the land that the food street is on..."

Having said that, she could not help but shake her head as she smiled and said, "I really lack sensitivity in doing business. I totally belong in the category of people who lack the talent to do so..."

Charlie then asked, "What about your younger sister? Is she talented in this area?" "Yes." Marianne nodded and smiled as she said, "My younger sister is very amazing. She studied finance in the Unitednoveldrama

Kingdom, and her biggest dream is to take over my father's business. So, she is working very hard in this regard."

Charlie smiled faintly and said seriously," You can also choose to pursue the career that you like if you do not like doing business."

Having said that, Charlie asked her, "What is the job that you want to do the most?"

Marianne said seriously, "The English department is actually relatively narrow in terms of their employment. In Hong Kong, the most common direction of employment is similar to that of Oskia which is mainly to take civil service. In addition, media and schools are also two more common employment directions. If you have a doctorate, going to a first-class university to become a teacher is also a very good development direction. I am more inclined toward this aspect."

Charlie asked in surprise, "You want to be a teacher?"

"Yes." Marianne nodded and said very solemnly, "Teaching and educating people is a very sacred thing to me. I will be satisfied if I can become a university teacher in the future." Charlie smiled and asked her, "I heard that you are studying for a doctorate at Hong Kong University. Do you want to stay and teach at Hong Kong University in the future?"

Having said that, Marianne looked at Charlie and said, "In fact, I actually have the desire to go over to Oskia to take a look. I wonder if you will welcome me, Mr. Wade?"
