He Shan immediately went to the convenience store and called her cousin Lin Fei.

Lin Fei immediately said that he would definitely arrive before 10 o'clock tomorrow.

With the staff in place, He Wenlin's next task is to persuade her parents to contribute a small amount of money.

He Wenlin had roughly calculated in her mind that she would need at least 2,500 yuan to open her fast food restaurant.

She needs to buy a large awning, at least five hundred.

We also need to buy a gas cylinder, a gas stove, and a wok, which will cost at least another 500.

One hundred and twenty fast food plates, plus chopsticks, will cost at least five hundred yuan. We also need to buy two large fans, which will cost at least three hundred yuan.

Prepare four small folding tables, and buy 15 stools, which will cost about 400.

Another crucial element is the food truck that can keep food warm; such a truck costs at least 500 yuan.

Two thousand five hundred is not a small amount for a family like theirs.

In the past, He Wenlin wasn't sure if her parents would give her the money, but now that the boxed lunch business is profitable, she feels there's still some hope of getting the money.

In the evening, He Wenlin made fifteen servings of fried noodles and twenty servings of fried rice and set up a stall in front of the Bosi Garment Factory.

At 10:20, we finished selling all the late-night snacks and went back to the dormitory with Mr. and Mrs. He.

"Mom and Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, so you know to consult with us now, and you even know we're your parents? You made two dollars and think you're something special? You didn't even tell me about something as important as renting a place. You think you're all grown up now?"

Mr. He was very angry about He Wenlin's decision to rent a house outside without his consent.

He Wenlin smiled and said, "No matter how strong my wings are, I'm still your daughter."

"Stop with your glib talk." Aunt He feigned anger. "You're not that old, but you've got quite the ideas and guts. You did something as big as renting a house without saying a word."

“It’s not that I don’t want to discuss this with you, it’s just that we haven’t had the chance. You’re so busy with work. It’s only at times like this that our family has a chance to sit down and have a proper talk,” He Wenlin said. “Besides, I’m also trying to make you and Dad proud.”

He Wenlin knew her parents' temperaments all too well. She had to speak softly and say nice things, especially to her father, who was very concerned about his reputation. Having lived two lives, He Wenlin naturally knew how to "deal with" him.

He Wenlin continued, "Mom and Dad, think about it. If my shop opens, won't you be very proud? Won't people say you've raised your daughter well? Won't they all envy you for having such a capable daughter? What other family's child can open a shop at such a young age?"

"Come on, stop trying to glorify yourself."

"Mom, tell me, is what I said reasonable or not?"

He Ma didn't say anything, but the smile on her face was enough to prove her feelings at that moment.

“I’m going to study. If this shop does well, it will eventually belong to you.” He Wenlin said, mimicking the tone of her neighbors in the village, “People will definitely say that Xiaoming and Xiuzhen raised a good daughter, and that the shop was given to them by their daughter.”

"Hahaha." Mr. and Mrs. He laughed when they heard her mimicking them.

Seeing how happy He's parents were, He Wenlin sneakily leaned over and said, "Dad, you've always wanted to be a boss. Now there's an opportunity for you to be the second boss. Do you want to take it?"

"What do you mean?"

“Now that it’s hot, we can still set up a stall and people won’t mind if the food gets a little cold. But it won’t work in winter because the food gets cold quickly. So I’m thinking of buying one of those food carts that can keep food warm, like the ones in the cafeteria. It will probably cost around 500 or 600 yuan.”

In addition, I'd like to set up a tent at the entrance, with a few tables and chairs, so people can eat here. There are large tents, which will cost around 500-600 yuan. We'll also need tables, chairs, food trays, fans, a gas cylinder, a stove, and a pot. All in all, it will cost about 2,500 yuan. You can cover that cost, and I'll give you 40% of the business.
