Xiao Keyi now decides to put her ideas into action.
She must tell Xu Ke about this, after all, only with Xu Ke’s support can she accomplish these things.
"Xu Ke, there’s something I want to tell you. You see, I’m idling at home right now, so I want to find something to do."
Xu Ke was a bit taken aback. He didn’t know what Xiao Keyi wanted to do, or why she suddenly became so serious.
"Of course you can, whatever you want to do, I’ll support you. By the way, you’re still my assistant, aren’t you? If nothing else works out, you can continue working at our company. Although you may not be able to help with other matters, you can still run errands sometimes."
Xu Ke knew that doing this might be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but currently, that’s all he had around him.
After all, what Xiao Keyi knew was vastly incompatible with their company.
Moreover, his girlfriend reportedly studied financial management in college, an area where their company already had his mother.
Xu Ke certainly couldn’t just push his mother aside and let Xiao Keyi start over again.
"I want to start my own company, I want to begin bit by bit from the start."
After hearing what Xiao Keyi had to say, Xu Ke felt as though he was dreaming.
Just moments ago, Xiao Keyi was joyfully shopping with him, and the next second, she said she wanted to start her own company, which anyone would find unbelievable.
Especially since Xu Ke had just shared his past experiences with Xiao Keyi. He wondered if his stories had somehow provoked her.
After all, Xu Ke had a pretty good understanding of his girlfriend’s personality.
While he couldn’t be 100% certain of what Xiao Keyi was thinking, he could guess roughly and be quite accurate.
But ever since earlier, something about Xiao Keyi had clearly been off, it was unlike anything Xu Ke had seen in his girlfriend before.
He felt there must be an issue, or some thought had taken root in Xiao Keyi’s mind.
"Keyi, what exactly happened, why do you suddenly have this idea? If something’s wrong because of me, you can just tell me directly. Starting your own company would exhaust you. It would be better for you to come work for me."
Xiao Keyi knew Xu Ke didn’t want her to suffer, but he understood this was a path he had to take. If he never took this step, he would remain stagnant.
He didn’t want to become a burden to Xu Ke; he wanted his own career, he wanted to carve out a space for himself.
Xiao Keyi believed she was not inferior to anyone else, and she was certain she could shine brightly in her own career, taking it to new heights.
She even envisioned her future company reaching the heights of Xu Group; it wasn’t for anything else, just to prove herself.
She wanted to tell her father that she could live a wonderful life without his protection, that she could still go smoothly without his shield.
She was capable of taking care of herself, she was capable of looking after those around her.
She wanted Xu Ke to be proud of her, she wanted to support Xu Ke in his career as well.
"Xu Ke, this is something I’ve thought through carefully. I know very clearly what I’m doing, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. When I was just 20, I told my father that I wanted to start a business, but he wouldn’t hear of it, saying it was too dangerous for a girl to go out alone. After I went to college, I brought it up again, but he rejected it. I know it’s an expression of my father’s love, but I don’t want to live under his protection forever. Ever since I started dating you, I’ve increasingly felt like I’m useless. All I do is shop all day and then cause trouble for you. I don’t want to be a trophy wife, I want to help you, I want to support you in your career. From a young age, I aspired to be an outstanding businesswoman; that’s a dream I’ve had for a long time. This decision isn’t something I made on a whim, it’s been my dream since childhood. If you love me, please support me. If you believe in me, don’t doubt this decision."
Xiao Keyi could hardly stop talking, leaving Xu Ke momentarily unable to process everything in his mind.
After a while, he slowly began to understand what his girlfriend truly meant.
At this moment, Xu Ke was deeply shocked; he never thought his girlfriend had so much on her mind.
They had been together for so long, yet Xiao Keyi had never shown it.
If he didn’t know that the person in front of him was indeed his girlfriend, Xu Ke might even suspect she was an impostor.
If this happened to anyone else, they might react even more fiercely than he did.
Your wife or girlfriend is staying happily at home but suddenly tells you she wants to start a company.
What’s more, you don’t know what she’s thinking or her intentions.
Anyway, Xu Ke’s feelings now can only be described as complicated.
He could fully understand his girlfriend’s feelings, as he too had dreams that his father consistently thwarted.
Although his father had his reasons, what Xiao Keyi longed for more was a life of independence and freedom.
She didn’t want to be a caged bird; she wanted to move forward boldly and without worries.
As time ticked by, Xu Ke’s thoughts grew more numerous.
He could never have guessed that his girlfriend would make such a sudden request.
Even though fulfilling such a request would be easy for him, he still wanted to understand whether Keyi was acting on impulse or if she had truly made up her mind.
After all, he not only had to be responsible for himself but also for his girlfriend.
He knew how much Xiao Keyi had been wronged during this period, and Xu Ke was looking for ways to make it up to her.
Precisely because of his own reasons, he needed to handle this matter with extra care.
"Keyi, have you really thought this through? I’m not worried about the money, I’m concerned you’ll end up depressed because of running a company. Considering how often such cases appear in the news, I don’t want you to end up like that. I know it hasn’t been fair to you for quite some time, and I haven’t spent quality time with you. I promise, once this period is over, I’ll make it up to you entirely."
Xiao Keyi was quite moved by Xu Ke’s words.
But she knew that her decision wasn’t made on a whim; it was something she’d been pondering for a long time.
To be precise, this thought had been with her since childhood, only delayed over the years until it suddenly resurfaced recently.
