"Then what about me and your brother-in-law?" Su Lan asked.
Lu Zhixia looked at them and said, "You guys take 30%, because my brother-in-law cooks." Turning to Xiao Wang, she said, "I think you have good communication skills, so you could work as a waiter and introduce dishes to people! These are my initial plans. If the profits are high, there will be bonuses at the end of the month, and I will set aside that money separately."
Xiao Wang was silent for a moment, then decided he could take a gamble.
"Okay, sis, I'll do it with you!"
“Then it’s settled. If we don’t make money in the early stages, you can break up anytime you want. We’re all friends, there’s no need to make things worse.” Lu Zhixia said to them solemnly, “Even if a deal doesn’t go through, we can still be on good terms. There’s no need for so many complicated rules.”
They nodded after hearing this, agreeing that if someone really didn't want to do the job, they should just say so directly, without having to hide it.
"Wow, why are there so many people?" Aunt Pang came in from outside with a ruler in her hand. "In the short time I turned around, this room was almost full!"
Lu Zhixia took the ruler from her hand. "I'll only sell you one piece of cloth. I won't sell it to anyone else."
"I know, you bought these fabrics for a reason!" Aunt Pang said with a smile. "You're so lucky, most people can't buy this much Xi Shi fabric."
Lu Zhixia measured it with a ruler, then gave her a little extra, decisively tore the cloth open, rolled it up, and handed it to Aunt Pang.
"The bottom is soaked in water and needs to be washed before it can be used."
"I know that." The plump aunt glanced at them, then, feeling that her presence was in their way, took the money out of her pocket and insisted on stuffing it into her hand.
"Don't complain that it's not enough!"
Lu Zhixia tried to stuff the money back but failed. The fat aunt took the things and ran away.
Looking at the money in my hand, it seemed to be a little more than the original price.
Su Lan said, "You should take it! Otherwise, he'll feel uncomfortable!"
Lu Zhixia could only put the money in her pocket and continue talking to them.
"What I just said were just my initial thoughts. The house isn't even renovated yet, the paperwork isn't complete, and there are still many things that haven't been done. It's all just talk on paper."
"Go back and think about it. If you feel there's anything inappropriate, you can tell me!"
They nodded to indicate that they understood; these ideas were all very new to us.
They each wanted to do it, feeling as if they would lose something if they missed this opportunity.
After they left, Lu Zhixia tidied up the house, and it was almost four o'clock by the time she finished.
When I was about to leave, I remembered that I hadn't brought in the clothes outside, so I quickly brought them in.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Gu Lingxiao come in.
"What's this?" Gu Lingxiao looked at the things scattered on the ground, some were fabric, and some were all sorts of other things.
Then he remembered that he had met many people on his way upstairs, and they all greeted him warmly. This was something he hadn't experienced before, since he wasn't familiar with any of them, but they all greeted him with smiles.
Lu Zhixia quickly explained, "Only the fabric was bought with my own money. The pile on the ground was given to you by the neighbors because you saved everyone from the fire last night."
Gu Lingxiao finally understood why those people were so enthusiastic. Although it wasn't in accordance with the rules, sending Lu Zhixia back would offend people, so he could only say...
"Since you've already accepted it, then keep it!"
"Aren't you taking anything with you?" Lu Zhixia looked at the mess on the ground. Before leaving, she had to give half of the things to Su Lan, otherwise they would be spoiled when Su Lan returned from her trip.
"I don't have anything to take, and I don't need it since I live in the dormitory," Gu Lingxiao said frankly. "You can handle it as you see fit."
Lu Zhixia heard the dormitory remind her that she wanted Gu Lingxiao's help, so she told him...
"I have something I'd like to leave with you, is that alright?"
"Something valuable?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
"Yes, it's extremely valuable. It's not safe for me to stay here; people come and go all the time," Lu Zhixia said softly. "Are there many people living in your dorm?"
"I live alone in my dorm, and I'm the only one with the key." Gu Lingxiao wondered what valuable item it could be, and after thinking about it, he could only think of money, so he boldly asked.
"You're not trying to give me money, are you?"
"No, I've already saved the money." Lu Zhixia felt it was best not to say anything before she had the goods, so she thought for a moment and then told him...
"I'll let you know when the time comes. I'll just ask if you agree. I'll put the things in your dorm. Don't worry, they're not illegal items."
“Sure!” Gu Lingxiao replied.
Lu Zhixia raised her hand and patted his chest, "Brother, you're a true friend!"
Gu Lingxiao smiled, raising the corners of his mouth. "Just brothers?"
Lu Zhixia looked up into his eyes. What was he trying to say with that intense gaze?
What do you mean by "just brothers"?
What other relationship could there be between them?
When Su Lan came in from outside and saw this scene, her heart immediately skipped a beat; they looked so perfectly matched.
Lu Zhixia quickly turned around when she saw Sister Lan come in.
"I'm leaving right away, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I came here to pick up something from the ground; they really give away everything."
Su Lan squatted down and started picking things out of the basin: eggplants, tomatoes, peanuts, and a basket of eggs.
Lu Zhixia thought about going out the day after tomorrow, "Take all the food back to your house. If I need to use it, I can go to your house to get it again. It's too hot in this weather, so eat whatever you can!"
Hearing this, Su Lan pointed to the basket of eggs and asked, "Should I take this back too?"
Lu Zhixia handed the basket directly to her, and then said generously,
