Chapter 638 Who manages the money?
Wang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, we just opened, so we're quite busy. Bai Yi won't be staying for long, and my parents aren't coming to help, so we were thinking of hiring two people."
Qiao Xing looked at the two girls, who were only in their early twenties. Usually, girls their age would be in college.
These two girls are quite efficient at their work, so I can rest assured.
"Is Bai Yi leaving?" Qiao Xing asked.
She felt that Bai Yi had only been back for a short time and was already leaving again.
Bai Yi was fiddling with the tableware on the table.
For the opening today, she specially changed into a formal suit, looking capable and poised, just like an experienced manager.
Wang Ye glanced at Bai Yi, and for some reason, looking at the more mature Bai Yi, he felt a strange mix of emotions.
He gave a muffled "hmm," losing all desire to chat with Qiao Xing, and turned away to attend to other matters.
It wasn't safe for Qiao Xing to stand in the crowd with her pregnant belly, so Xing Jiu stayed behind her the whole time.
With more than an hour to go before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Qiao Xing was bored anyway, so he decided to go chat with Bai Yi.
When Bai Yi saw Qiao Xing, he immediately walked over to her quickly. "You're not feeling well, why did you come over? Come, come, sit down quickly."
Qiao Xing laughed and said, "I'm not that delicate. Of course I have to come and support my cousin's new store opening. Besides, he called me a long time ago to let me know. If I didn't come, he would be angry."
Bai Yi complained, "He's so immature, and you actually listen to him. Don't you know you're a special group now? What if something really happens? And President Qin, he didn't even stop you."
"He had something to do at his company, so he couldn't come."
Qiao Xing was too embarrassed to tell Qin Ce that he simply didn't want to come.
Although this was a store he invested in, and also the first store Wang Ye opened, Wang Ye is Qiao Xing's cousin, so it's only right that he supports him.
However, He Fen and Wang Yue will definitely come to Wang Ye's shop as well.
The purpose of He Fen's inexplicable act of giving Qin Ce a basket of eggs last time was quite clear.
Qin Ce was too lazy to communicate with them, so he simply didn't come.
However, he instructed Xing Jiu that she must keep a close eye on Qiao Xing no matter what, and absolutely not let anything happen to her.
And Xing Jiu did just that, keeping her gaze fixed on Qiao Xing the whole time, never looking away for a moment.
Qiao Xing wanted to get a glass of water, but it would either be Bai Yi or Xing Jiu.
She wanted to get something to eat, but before she could even stand up, Bai Yi had already run to the back room and quickly brought out some food.
Seeing how serious they were, Qiao Xing felt his face burning with embarrassment.
She felt that everyone here was looking at her, as if they were looking at something very new and interesting.
Qiao Xing couldn't stand it anymore. She tilted her head and whispered to Xing Jiu, "You should sit down and rest for a while too. I won't wander around, nothing will happen."
However, Xing Jiu refused decisively, "No, President Qin said that I must keep an eye on you at all times."
Qiao Xing was helpless. There was no point in arguing with Xing Jiu about her thought process, so she simply gave up.
After chatting with Bai Yi for only a few minutes, Wang Yue and He Fen's voices came from the doorway.
Bai Yi put down what she was doing and hurriedly walked over to the two of them. "Dad, Mom, you're here."
Wang Yue nodded. He had nothing to say to Bai Yi, but simply asked, "Where's Linlin?"
"It's opening day, and the store is crowded. I was worried he would cause trouble, so I left him with my friend for now."
Upon hearing this, He Fen's expression changed. She smacked her lips, about to speak, when Wang Yue nudged her with his elbow.
"Today is our son's special day, so you should say less."
He Fen rolled her eyes. "Fine, I won't talk about it then. I came to see my son, not her. Who wants to talk to her?"
She mumbled something under her breath, and although her voice wasn't loud, Bai Yi could hear it clearly.
Bai Yi's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal and said, "Mom and Dad, don't stand there, come and do it. The ceremony hasn't started yet, have something to eat first."
He Fen didn't even give Bai Yi a friendly look before leaving.
Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to Bai Yi, "That's just how she is, don't take it to heart."
Originally, Wang Yue and He Fen should have been the first to arrive at Wang Ye's new store opening.
However, Wang Ye did not inform the two of them. It was only when Wang Yue called Wang Ye himself that he found out that the business was opening today.
He Fen was furious at home because Wang Ye hadn't informed her about this. She felt that her son was becoming increasingly disobedient after marrying Bai Yi.
She blamed everything on Bai Yi, assuming it was because Bai Yi didn't treat her well at home and had whispered in Wang Ye's ear, causing him to not even inform his parents about such a big event as the opening of the new store.
But no matter how angry Wang Ye was, the more he didn't want He Fen to come, the more determined He Fen became to come.
After all, Wang Ye is her biological son. Now that the new store has opened, there are many things going on and on, and there may be other problems arising later because of money.
Therefore, no matter what, He Fen absolutely could not allow Bai Yi to make all the decisions about the shop that her son had worked so hard to build.
Bai Yi had known about He Fen's attitude for a while, but she didn't take it to heart. Just then, her phone rang. After saying a few words to Wang Yue, she turned around to answer the call.
He Fen found Wang Ye, who was busy, and pulled him to a quiet corner.
Wang Ye was extremely busy and getting impatient. "Mom, what are you doing? I still have a ton of work to do."
He Fen didn't care about any of that. She glanced at Bai Yi not far away, then asked Wang Ye, "Xiao Ye, Mom's asking you, after your shop officially opens, who will manage the money?"
Wang Ye frowned. "Why are you asking this?"
"Whether this store can stay open long-term depends on how much it can sell each day. Besides, this is a new store, and there are still many problems. Who knows what will happen in the future? Of course, Mom wants to know the answers."
What she feared most was that Wang Ye would act impulsively and hand everything over to Bai Yi.
That woman is clearly much smarter than Wang Ye, and she doesn't spend much time in Chongqing. If she really manages to fool Wang Ye one day, who will they cry to?
"Mom, there's a lot going on at the shop right now, so please don't make things worse. We haven't officially opened yet, how would I know if we can make money? I don't know either!"
It wasn't that Wang Ye didn't want to tell He Fen; it was that he genuinely hadn't considered it.
Moreover, even if the store does make money, he can't control that money alone.
Putting aside Qin Ce's help, Bai Yi also contributed a considerable amount of money intermittently during this process.
Even if he doesn't let Bai Yi handle it, he can't really not give them a single penny.
