Chapter 129 Returning to Beijing to Start a Business
That night, we stayed in a panoramic glass igloo that supposedly lets you see the aurora borealis while lying down.
The room is made entirely of transparent glass, making you feel as if you are in a field.
It was quite late when we finished watching the aurora. The crowds had dispersed, and only a small glass house remained on the silent snowfield.
The room was heated.
As soon as Anmi entered the room, a man pinned her against the wall and demanded a kiss.
Down jackets, hats, gloves, scarves—they were scattered all over the floor in a mess.
When the snow boots were kicked off, they hit the ground with a thud.
Anmi heard the sound and suddenly laughed.
Yan Jinnian kissed her lips: "What's wrong?"
She was panting as she unbuttoned his shirt: "I suddenly remembered that joke, the domineering CEO took off my cotton pants, fleece pants, and leggings..."
"Baby, at a time like this, you're actually spacing out and thinking of jokes?"
Yan Jinnian released her lips and violently ripped open the buttons on her chest.
He picked the person up and placed them on the big bed.
"It seems I haven't been working hard enough lately, which has worsened your experience."
"Honey, I've reflected on my actions and will try my best to make you happy today."
Anmi: ?
How was this logic derived?
"That's not what I meant..."
The rest of the words were swallowed down before they could be finished.
The starry sky overhead was shimmering with fragmented light.
Anmi was picked up again and placed against the glass wall facing the snow-capped mountain.
Yan Jinnian supported her waist: "Wife, let's see how long you can stand this time..."
…
After their aurora viewing trip concluded in Tromsø, the couple's honeymoon came to an end.
Back in Beijing, Anmi did two things.
The first thing to do is to resign.
Although Yan's job was good, it wasn't something she earned herself, so she still had to leave.
When Wanqiu heard the news, she felt a little sad.
She lamented on WeChat: "Honey, after you left, I'm all alone here in jail. Waaah, I miss you so much!"
Anmi quickly comforted her, "It's alright, your brothers are still here."
Late Autumn: "Hmph, my brother is nowhere near as charming as a young lady!"
That's true.
Anmi: "Then I'll come back and rescue you as soon as my business succeeds!"
Late Autumn: "Oh, you're starting a business?"
Anmi: "Mmm!"
Late Autumn: "What kind of business do you plan to start?"
Anmi: "Open the shop!"
The courtyard that Mo Qi gave us could be transformed into a guesthouse, cafe, or campsite with a little money; it would definitely be very popular.
This was something she had planned long ago.
Young working professionals in Beijing like these kinds of places, where they can not only eat, take photos, and enjoy natural scenery, but also relieve the stress caused by their daily work.
In addition, she had long dreamed of opening a small shop selling desserts and drinks, preferably away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
This courtyard can be said to have fulfilled all her ideas.
However, just thinking about it isn't enough; you also need to take action.
The second thing Anmi needed to do was borrow start-up capital from her husband.
"Yan Jinnian~"
In the office, a man dressed in a suit and tie sat on the sofa.
Upon hearing the sound, he looked up, his eyes slowly warming.
"Is it done?"
"Um!"
Anmi sat down beside him: "Honey, I want to borrow some money from you."
"Borrow?" Yan Jinnian frowned slightly.
"Honey, aren't you being a little too polite?"
After his first visit to An Ting, he handed over all his bank cards to her for safekeeping and changed the passwords to her birthday.
"You can use my money as you please, no need to tell me."
“Hehe~” Anmi tugged at his clothes.
"I know... but you earned all your money through your own hard work, I can't just take it and use it without saying a word!"
The man smiled slightly: "Wife, you have this privilege."
"All the money I earn is yours."
Anmi was completely charmed and confused.
"I don't need that many either~"
With the astronomical sums in his cards, how many lifetimes would it take her to spend them all?
"In short, I will keep a record of the money I borrowed from you, and I will pay you back with interest when I earn it back in the future."
Anmi was full of confidence and had a clear plan.
Yan Jinnian pinched her cheek: "Okay, Boss Xiao An, whatever you say."
"Wishing you booming business and great profits."
"must!"
With Boss An's 'financing' successful, the next step is a major on-site renovation.
The renovation plan was already taking shape last month.
That day, she spent the entire afternoon researching in Yan Jinnian's office and tentatively determined the style she wanted.
There's no time like the present, so she decided to go to the design company the next day.
However, she was unfamiliar with this industry, and given Xiao Wang's outstanding performance in the noodle shop renovation last time, she decided to call him for advice first.
Surprisingly, Xiao Wang actually has quite a few connections in Beijing!
When he heard that she wanted to start a business, he offered to help her connect with people in the area.
Anmi was initially worried that she would be like a headless fly, but now she felt completely at ease.
With Xiao Wang's help, the designer and construction team were quickly assembled.
After both parties signed the contract, they went with Anmi to conduct an on-site inspection of the courtyard.
After careful research, the designer decided to retain the style of the original houses and then renovate, add to, and rebuild the entire courtyard.
Anmi strongly supports this plan.
"First, we need to remove the excess weeds and vegetation, then tear down the old walls, and the ground needs to be redone with new materials..."
The designer spoke so eloquently that Anmi was almost sweating from the effort.
"Um... Master, these plans are good, but they sound very complicated and require a lot of effort."
The designer smiled.
"Ms. An, don't worry! We'll take care of the physical work; you just need to be responsible for the inspection."
That's true, but the guides Anmi read all said that you have to be personally involved in home renovations, because what others think is different from what you really want.
So after the project officially started, she was there almost every day.
Work with the designer to finalize the details bit by bit and participate in every step of the renovation.
It was really tiring at first, but I got used to it and gradually discovered the fun in it.
She also spent more time at the construction site each day.
One afternoon a week later, the big boss finally couldn't take it anymore and came to the courtyard to arrest people himself.
"Honey, you promised to eat with me at every meal."
Anmi looked at the man with a resentful expression, dusted off her hands, and said guiltily, "I've been busy, and you've been busy too. You've been in meetings non-stop since you came back from Norway. Okay, let's eat together after we're both done!"
Yan Jinnian glanced at the dirt stuck to her cheeks, sighed helplessly, and reached out to wipe it off for her.
"Honey, can't these tasks be done by the workers?"
“I’m worried about you staying here every day…”
Although this place is not far from the city center, it is ultimately not part of the city center.
Moreover, all the workers present were male, and she was the only girl, so he found it hard to feel at ease.
“I’ll send someone to supervise the construction for you. Come back with me.”
Anmi glanced at him and shook her head, saying, "No."
