Although he did not think less of his daughter, he had never seriously discussed these practical matters with her. In Tong Yaohui’s eyes, Tong Yao was still an immature child. He was astonished that his daughter had such foresight and thoughtfulness.

He wasn’t sure if it was due to her inheriting his intelligence, or whether Si Chen had taught her to think this way.

He enquired, "Yaoyao, are these your own thoughts, or did Xiaochen teach you to say this?"

"Dad, these are my own thoughts." Tong Yao, like a businesswoman, analyzed seriously: "Our country’s economy is soaring rapidly. I think now is a good time. As people’s living conditions improve, they naturally want to solve the housing problem. Currently, most people are crammed into small houses; this is not a long-term solution. Once everyone has money, the first thing they will think about is solving the housing problem, and housing prices will naturally rise quickly."

"Compared to two years ago, hasn’t the downtown area of Kyoto expanded? Now, the downtown area of Kyoto is still expanding outward, saying it will expand to Sintar Road in five or six years is slow. It may expand there in two or three years. I think now is a good opportunity to buy land and build houses."

When he heard these were his daughter’s own thoughts, Tong Yaohui’s eyes lit up, his mood visibly good, and he asked, "Do you plan to live in the house yourself or use it for something else?"

"For rent." Tong Yao answered decisively, "The first and second floors can be rented out as warehouses, the third and fourth floors as living areas. More and more young people are coming out to work, and there will be many migrant workers in Kyoto in the future. I think we should buy as much land as we can afford. The two milk tea shops can bring in thirty thousand yuan a year. In two or three years, that would be enough to build a house. It’s more important to secure the land rights first."
