Chapter 154: Shareholding
When Ronghua heard that he died suddenly from exhaustion, he felt a little sympathetic, but he himself was not much better.
It was said to be a car accident, but in fact, he was hit by a car while delivering takeout at the order of his boss, and then he died.
But he is a kind-hearted person. Since he has traveled through time, he might as well live a good life.
"So that's how it is. But it must be very hard. After all, you were already an adult in your previous life, but you have to grow up little by little from a child in this life." Ronghua really admired Shen Shixu. If he suddenly turned into a baby, he would not be able to do this or that and would definitely collapse.
"It's not that bad. I was an orphan in my previous life. Now that I have parents and a brother, I am very happy every day."
Ronghua was also very happy for him after hearing this. After Shen Shixu talked about himself, he said to him, "I have a very good life here. If there is any regret, it is that I can't eat the delicious food in my previous life. I have only eaten those French fries, fried chicken, and milk tea once. I thought I would eat them every day when I made money in the future, but in the end I didn't have the chance.
So I was really happy to drink the milk tea this time. I plan to get a membership here and come here often in the future. ”
When Ronghua heard this, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. "I'm glad that you like my milk tea shop very much. But I plan to close it in the next few days!"
"Why? Is it because business is bad? But this shouldn't be the case. This milk tea tastes good and the price is not very expensive. Business shouldn't be so bad!"
Ronghua finally had someone to talk to, so he didn't hide anything and pulled him to sit down. He went to the store and got two cups of honey grapefruit tea. While drinking, he said, "Business was very hot at the beginning. Many girls liked milk tea, and business was getting better day by day.
But when doing business, there will always be merchants who are jealous and think that my business is so good and I am stealing their customers, and then they will cause trouble for me.
They had connections and contacted my landlord, who raised the rent of my shop significantly. They also found ways to cut off relations with my suppliers and raise the prices.
I really can't hold on any longer. I've only been able to hold on for half a year, and I used the money left by the original owner's parents to fund the business. If I keep it open for a few more months, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay my employees' salaries.
So, I decided to close the shop. Before you reach the end of your rope, change location and start a new business. ”
Shen Shixu also knew that business was not easy to do, especially business in the capital. Those who could do business in the capital for a long time more or less had backers behind them.
Just like Shen Zexi, because he was an official appointed by the court, no one dared to cause trouble when he was doing business. On the contrary, many people gave him a lot of help.
"If that's the reason, then it's simple. To be honest, my family has been in business all our lives, and we're not short of money. If you don't mind having more shareholders, I'd like to invest in your milk tea shop."
Ronghua's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then quickly dimmed, "Forget it, it's a waste of money. You have money and I have the recipe. I'll give you the recipe, and you can buy some ingredients and make it yourself when the time comes."
Shen Shixu understood what he was worried about, and took out a token from his arms, on which were engraved the words "Dali Temple".
When Ronghua saw the token, his eyes widened, and his finger pointed at the token and trembled, "This, this token, am I dazzled?"
Shen Shixu handed the token to Ronghua and asked him to look at it carefully. As he looked at it, he introduced: "I have worked hard for more than ten years. I won the first place in the spring examination and now I have been appointed as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Also, didn’t I just tell you that I have a boyfriend? My boyfriend is Prince Jing of Dagan. Not long ago, the emperor arranged a marriage for us and bestowed upon me the title of Lord Gan'an!
I've got your back, let's see who dares to target you. ”
Ronghua had also heard about the marriage granted to Prince Jing and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, but when Shen Shixu said that he had a boyfriend just now, he didn't know Shen Shixu's identity and didn't think about it. He never expected that the protagonist of the gossip he heard some time ago would stand in front of him.
"Oh my god! Bro, I don't know what to say, you are so awesome!
Although I am not particularly clear about how difficult the imperial examinations were in ancient times, there were not many top scorers.
As a result, you passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer at such a young age. What’s wrong with your brain? Were you also a top student in your previous life? ”
Shen Shixu nodded. "It's not bad. I was admitted to the National Defense University, but I died before I could go to school. At that time, I wanted to earn tuition for myself, and I also hoped that I could have more time to study and deal with interpersonal relationships after entering university, so I worked hard during that period, and then I died suddenly from overwork."
Shen Shixu said this with some regret, but he did not regret it. If he had not come to this world due to sudden death, he would not have met his loving parents, his doting brother, and his lifelong lover.
"With the Dali Temple's Shaoqing as my backer, I wonder if those people would dare to resort to some unspeakable means. Without them messing around behind my back, my store will soon be able to return to its previous state.
As for the matter of investing, there is no need for that. I have decided to give the store to you and I will be the manager. You just need to pay me a salary when the time comes. ”
"How can this be? This is the store you worked so hard to build, how can you give it to me?" Shen Shixu quickly refused.
"So what if I worked hard for it? I can't protect it at all. If I give the store to you, I will continue to work here and it will be no different from before." Ronghua is very free and easy.
"That won't work either. I can just invest and be the second in command. How can I take away your hard work?"
Seeing that he refused to accept it, Ronghua had no choice but to agree to his proposal, but still said: "Since you insist on this, then let's do it. However, as the second shopkeeper of our store, you can't have no benefits at all. So, from now on, all the milk tea you drink in the store will be free. As long as you don't get tired of it, I will provide for you for life."
"That's great! By the way, have someone prepare some milk tea with flavors that men like, like oolong tea. I'll take it back and ask my colleagues to advertise your store."
"No problem! I'll have someone prepare it right away, but I have to remind you that this is not my store, it's our store."
Ronghua went to greet the waiter and asked him to quickly make dozens of cups of oolong tea and other teas, such as honey grapefruit tea, and some milk tea.
After making the arrangements, she came back to continue chatting with Shen Shixu, "By the way, you just said that you and your boyfriend were granted marriage, so when are you two going to get married? I'll prepare a gift for you then. Also, why are your hands so bald?
Why didn’t you think of getting a pair of couple rings according to our customs? ”
