The farms are abandoned near the house. Tomorrow, I’ll check the place out with Elisa. If negotiations go well, we’ll sign contracts and rent more land.”
Zachary said gently, “You both can discuss it and make a decision. I will always support you. Just let me know if you need assistance. Whether it’s additional capital or investments, I’m here for you.”
“I’ll borrow the money from you and pay it back once I recoup the costs,” she replied.
“We’re husband and wife. What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours remains yours. You don’t need to draw such clear lines between us. Please don’t mention borrowing money in front of me again.”
Serenity recalled taking over several small businesses from Zachary for practice. He fully trusted her, and she was not someone who lost her principles when money was involved. “Okay, then. I’ll use your funds initially,” she said.
She intended to return the money once they started turning a profit. Serenity was already assisting Zachary in managing his small businesses. She could include the funds she would repay him in their accounts and transfer it to him later.
It wasn’t that she wanted to establish a strict boundary between them; she simply wanted to be more independent as it was her first time making an investment and running a larger business.
“Elisa believes we should create a vegetable company by purchasing an office and hiring a few professional managers. I agree with her idea. I’ll call Jasmine to inform her after dinner.”
This would be a joint investment among the three of them, and she needed to keep Jasmine updated.
Zachary nodded in agreement. “It’s true that establishing a company will make it easier for others to remember you during business negotiations.”
“Even though Elisa lacks prior business experience, she’s still…
Indeed, she is Aunt Audrey’s daughter, and she thinks far beyond my capabilities.”
“Children born into families of business people are generally exposed to it from an early age.”
Zachary acknowledged that, for now, Elisa was more astute about business than his cherished wife.
Serenity was still in the process of learning.
In the future, she would surpass Elisa once she became a qualified wife to the head of the family.
Elisa had a direct personality, but her patience was lacking. This was only the beginning.
With her wide array of interests, she would likely do little once the business was established.
Additionally, Elisa had no fondness for business engagements.
