Chapter 506 True Interpretation
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his mind suddenly went completely blank.
Qin Ce stared at him leisurely, not in a hurry, and waited quietly for him to speak.
Wang Ye scratched his head, feeling as if he had returned to the time when he was taking exams in school.
Qiao Xing peeked from outside. Qin Ce rested his hands on the sofa, leaning lazily against the backrest, calmly watching Wang Ye.
In stark contrast to Wang Ye, who was scratching his head in frustration, the difference in their demeanor was immediately apparent in this setting, even though Wang Ye had dressed up specially for the occasion, wearing a suit jacket.
This was the first time Qiao Xing had felt so clearly and intuitively the true meaning of the word "temperament".
Wang Ye finally picked up the proposal and glanced at it. He cleared his throat, put the proposal down again, and said, "After you told me before, I've been running around these past few days, investigating the market and such."
Qin Ce nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"Then I looked at it in both our area and your area, and I just wanted to ask first, how much are you planning to invest?"
"Because the costs are different in different regions, the number of shops that can be opened is also different."
Qin Ce said, "Wang Ye, do you even know what business is?"
"ah?"
Ignoring his sudden outburst, Qin Ce continued, "The key is to be good at discovering business opportunities that others can't, rather than following the trend and doing what others are doing well."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Wang Ye didn't quite understand. What did this have to do with how much money he had asked him to invest?
Qin Ce continued to ignore him, "I didn't specify how much money I'm going to invest in you, so you can do whatever you want. As long as I think it's appropriate, money is not a problem."
"Really?" Wang Ye blinked.
Qin Ce glanced at him. "You just said that different costs mean different types of shops can be opened. Can I assume that you haven't even decided what to do yet?"
"this……"
Qin Ce said, "If I'm going to follow the trend and see others making money by opening shops, wouldn't it be the same if I just opened a shop, or joined a franchise, or became an investor?"
Sweat was beading on Wang Ye's forehead.
“You’re right.” Wang Ye had indeed wanted to follow the trend before. He had visited many popular restaurants these past few days and tried all the different cuisines.
So he wanted to open a business like others, but now that Qin Ce has said this, he feels it might not work.
Qin Ce said, "The shops you go to are already doing very well and have regular customers. If you open another one and try to compete with them, I don't think you can beat them."
“That’s not necessarily true…” Wang Ye didn’t finish his sentence, but seeing his calm yet imposing gaze, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Okay, then tell me, how do you plan to compete? I won't say you can surpass others, but first tell me how you plan to achieve the same performance as them? What will you rely on? Is it better taste, more money to build a luxurious restaurant, or selling at a loss?"
Goodness, Qin Ce said everything he could think of, and Wang Ye was speechless.
The air conditioning was on in the room, and Wang Ye was sweating profusely.
Qiao Xingguang watched with bated breath, feeling a pang of anxiety for Wang Ye.
In fact, neither of them knew that Qin Ce had been very gentle with Wang Ye and could speak to him so calmly. If it were someone else in the company or with someone else, they would have fired them the moment they saw the proposal.
Even if the plan is well-prepared, it will fail at the stage Wang Ye described, and it definitely won't last more than ten minutes.
Qiao Xing couldn't bear to watch any longer; she already knew in her heart that Wang Ye was bound to fail this time.
She went downstairs to check on things and prepare the meal, knowing that He Fen and the others would definitely be eating there.
Qiao Xing came downstairs, where the old man and He Fen were still chatting.
"Grandpa, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Before the old man could speak, He Fen said, "Oh, time to cook?"
"Yes, I'm going out to buy groceries."
He Fen quickly replied, "Then I'll go with you. You're so small, you definitely can't carry all the groceries by yourself. I'll help you carry them."
Qiao Xing felt that she was bothering the old man here, and would rather go grocery shopping with her.
"Okay, let's go together then."
He Fen immediately smiled and went out with her, as she had been worried about not finding an opportunity to be alone with Qiao Xing.
But He Fen didn't expect that there wasn't just the two of them, there was also a burly man there.
He Fen felt intimidated by him, sensing that he had a bad temper and might punch her at any moment.
He looked at Xing Jiu warily, carefully got into the car, and whispered to Qiao Xing in the back, "Xingxing, who is this person?"
Qiao Xing glanced at Xing Jiu in front of him and casually said, "Driver."
Not to mention He Fen, she was also scared when she first saw Xing Jiu. Not only the first time, but she was also scared during the first few times she met him. Later she found that Xing Jiu was not so scary, just a little quiet.
Similar to the original Qin Ce, although Qin Ce doesn't talk much now, except when switching to work mode.
Why did you hire such a scary driver?
"Because I feel safe."
He Fen thought about it for a moment and it seemed to make sense. Then she sighed and said, "Oh, you're so lucky. You've finally made it big and now you live in such a big house and have a driver to pick you up. Xingxing, your grandparents must be so happy to see you doing so well now."
Qiao Xing was stunned. It had been a long time since He Fen had mentioned her maternal grandparents.
In the past, people always talked about how much Qiao Xing had taken advantage of her maternal grandparents, but they had never said anything like this before.
Qiao Xing pursed her lips and remained silent.
He Fen added, "Xingxing, your aunt might have been a bit harsh on you before, but she knows she was wrong now, so please don't take it to heart."
"Won't."
“I know you must be feeling resentful. You know what kind of person I am, I just say what I mean and I can’t keep anything to myself. Unlike some people who say one thing and mean another. Your uncle has also said that I’m just the kind of person who easily offends people.”
Anyway, that's not entirely untrue; she sometimes says hurtful things and easily makes people hate her.
Some people are two-faced, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back, and they'll make you suffer without you even knowing how you died.
Moreover, He Fen's change in attitude was very straightforward, without any transition. She started to fawn over Qin Ce as soon as she learned his identity, without playing any tricks or schemes, just trying to please him.
To be honest, once you get used to it, it's not so hard to accept.
Qiao Xing said, "Let's not talk about the past."
"Alright, alright, what's past is past. Don't worry, your aunt will always be your strongest support!"
Her sudden remark made Qiao Xing laugh.
I just don't know if, in the future, if her relationship with Qin Ce breaks down or they get divorced, her aunt will change her attitude again.
