Chapter 863 Chapter 12: Helping People to the End
Early the next morning, Zhong Ke was getting ready to go to school, but he found a girl standing at the door of the store.
She was wearing a neat black suit and a pair of glasses. She had a delicate appearance, but there was a hint of gloom between her brows.
"Hello."
The woman bowed slightly. Judging from the way she saluted and her accent, she did not seem to be a native Chinese.
"Hello, hello..." Zhong Ke saw that her gestures were very elegant and she didn't seem like an ordinary person.
She couldn't help but feel a little scared. Could it be that he came to collect the debt again?
Wang Lichun heard the noise at the door and limped out from packing her things. After seeing the woman, Wang Lichun became a little nervous.
"Hello, I'm the owner of this shop. May I ask...what can I do for you?"
She also regarded this woman as a creditor, and carefully recalled in her mind whether there were any loans that had expired or were overdue recently.
But I have been frugal for so many years and have hardly ever been overdue.
"Sorry to bother you, this is my business card."
The woman took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Wang Lichun.
"...Gao Muqing, Xia's Food Co., Ltd....Market Research Director."
Wang Lichun is an honest person. She uses an old-fashioned mobile phone and doesn't know how to use the Internet. Of course, she doesn't know how influential the Xia Group is.
Her first reaction was that her pastry shop might have gotten into trouble again.
"I, we didn't...we didn't do anything...and, please, please, have mercy..."
Wang Lichun trembled as she returned the business card to Gao Muqing, then protected her daughter behind her, but her thin and frail body could not protect her daughter at all.
At this moment, Zhong Ke was looking at this cold-eyed woman with some fear.
"Could you please spare me?"
Gao Muqing was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and said, "You misunderstood, ma'am. I heard there's a time-honored dim sum shop here that makes delicious dim sum. As the company's food research director, I just wanted to do some market research."
“…I, I…”
Wang Lichun didn't understand what she meant by the following words, but she seemed to understand that this woman was not here to make things difficult for her and her daughter.
"Keke, you, you go to school first, you'll be late..."
But no matter what, I can't let my daughter get involved in these things.
Although Zhong Ke was very worried about his mother, he still obediently left with his schoolbag on his back, looking back every few steps.
"I don't quite understand what you...just said."
Wang Lichun placed her weather-beaten hands uneasily in front of her body, looking at the woman in front of her humbly.
"To put it simply, I want to give your desserts a try. If they really taste that good, then our company hopes to cooperate with your store."
"cooperate......?"
"yes."
Gao Muqing nodded. "Our company will provide the platform and sales channels, and will also package your snacks. Of course, the production formula and the name of the packaged snacks are all decided by you. Our company only takes a 10% commission."
Looking at Wang Lichun, she seemed to understand but not quite.
Gao Muqing sighed: "In short, we want to help you expand sales and let more people eat your dim sum."
This time Wang Lichun understood.
But she was still a little nervous.
"The prerequisite is that your snacks really impress me, so can I buy a box to try first?"
"Of course!"
If someone wants to buy snacks, Wang Lichun is very experienced.
She brought Gao Muqing into the store and let him choose any of the dim sum, which were of limited variety and not very attractive in appearance.
Gao Muqing picked up a piece of custard cookie, tasted it, and nodded slightly.
"Such a skill should not be buried here."
Then she smiled and said to Wang Lichun, "On behalf of the company, I can announce that your product fully meets our company's requirements. If you are willing, our chairman hopes to discuss this business with you."
"...Well, well, I, I just want to...keep this store going, pay off the debt, and then send my daughter to college. As for, I...don't need anything else."
Wang Lichun said cautiously.
Now she roughly understood what the other party meant.
Simply put, it means helping her sell things, and she won't be asked to provide any secret recipes. When sales expand in the future, it's up to her to decide whether to continue expanding production or taking it slow.
"I understand. Our chairman will come and discuss the specific matters with you personally. Since I've already passed the review, I'll express my sincerity."
Gao Muqing took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Yeah, I'm fine, that's fine."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Muqing said to Wang Lichun, "Because of your previous poor management and the foreign debt you were forced to compensate those so-called food poisoning victims, our company will help you settle it."
“Wh…what?!”
Wang Lichun couldn't believe her ears.
But before she could say anything, Gao Muqing turned around and walked out of the store.
"Our chairman will come to see you tonight. It's a pleasure to work with you, Ms. Wang."
After showing a gentle smile, the woman left, leaving Wang Lichun still in great shock.
After leaving the snack shop, Gao Muqing walked two streets and then got into a black car.
"How is it?" Li Muhan asked in the passenger seat.
"Let me tell you again." Ms. Gao turned and looked at Li Muhan with some dissatisfaction.
"You are a leader, please take the back seat."
"Hey, I'm the boss, why do you care where I sit? I get carsick if I sit in the back."
Li Muhan chuckled twice and continued to urge: "How did she react?"
"It's pretty much what you said. I'm completely terrified. Chief Li, are you sure you want to do this? Asking your wife to register a company specifically to help her? Aren't you being too kind?"
"There are so many injustices in the world, so many poor people, so many pitiful people. Can you take care of them all?"
"I can't control it all, but if I see it, I have to intervene, and I have to see it through to the end. And this wasn't my idea, it was Xia Yue's. She said that the dim sum shop really has potential. With her many years of experience as a dessert appraiser, she knows that it will be a hit if we promote it."
"...Your family are really all pushovers."
As Gao Nu spoke, she started the car.
But at the same time, her heart was also echoing with what Li Muhan said to her when they first met...
[Hmm... Aren't you pretty? ]
Maybe he didn't mean anything else at the time, it was just an exclamation.
But since then, the wound in Gao's heart that had been bleeding non-stop was finally given a small Band-Aid.
Perhaps it is because of nice people like him that I can come back to life and have the life I have now.
"Just drive, why are you laughing so sinisterly? Damn, you really look like a ghost when you laugh."
"Please shut up, I am a female ghost."
Forget it, don't expect anything from him.
