Chapter 275: Successful opening of a store
After Chen Xiang and the landlord finished their meal, they came out of the restaurant and waved goodbye.
The landlord went back to work, and Chen Xiang was about to go back to the hotel to rest for a while. Just as she walked back a distance, an old lady walking in front of her suddenly fell down.
Chen Xiang was shocked!
She hurried over and found that the old lady had fallen unconscious. Her eyes were closed, her face was blue, her hands and feet were cold and a little stiff. Chen Xiang did not dare to delay and directly hailed a taxi to the nearest hospital.
Only after the old man was sent to the hospital emergency room did Chen Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this is the city center, it is easy to get a taxi, and the hospital is also close. If it was farther away, I’m really afraid that the old lady would die.
About an hour later, the doctor came out of the emergency room, took off his mask, and said to Chen Xiang, "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Chen Xiang shook her head: "No."
The doctor frowned: "What about the patient's family?"
Chen Xiang shook her head again: "I don't know, I couldn't get in touch with him. I saw an old man fall on the side of the road, so I sent him to the hospital."
The doctor nodded in understanding: "Then let's wait until the patient wakes up before contacting her family. The patient has been sent to the general ward now, you can go there and wait."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Chen Xiang returned to the ward and quietly stayed by the bed.
More than two hours later, the old lady finally woke up. There was a small blood clot in her head that compressed the nerves and formed a blood clot. She also fell, causing the right side of her body to be out of control.
Fortunately, it was the first attack and the symptoms were very mild, with only a slight crooked mouth, slurred teeth, and slightly curled arms.
When Chen Xiang saw that the old lady had woken up, she quickly stood up and asked softly, "Are you thirsty?"
Because of her old age, the old lady's eyes were a little cloudy. She saw Chen Xiang was stunned at first, moved her lower lip, and wanted to speak, but the only sounds that came out were "hmm", "ah", and "wu". Her mouth was completely out of control. The old lady was a little anxious.
Chen Xiang held the old lady's shoulders and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, old lady. You fell on the road and I sent you to the hospital. There is a small blood clot in your brain that is compressing your nerves. You can't control your body for the time being. But don't worry. The doctor said that the first attack was very mild. As long as you take medicine and do rehabilitation regularly, you will be able to recover."
The old lady made a few "ah" sounds with her mouth twisted.
Chen Xiang brought some warm water and fed the old lady the water before asking for her home phone number. She quickly went to the nurse's station and called to notify the old lady's family to come over.
In the villa area next to the City Hall Park, Lin Zheng put down the phone, hurriedly got dressed, took the money and went out to the Central Hospital.
As soon as I went out, I saw a tall figure standing at the door of my house.
This guy has been here for two days!
After he explained his purpose at the beginning and was chased out, they didn't open the door for him, didn't talk to him, and just left him alone. But he, after being turned away for so long, still had the courage to come in. His determined eyes seemed to say: I will stand here until the end of time!
Lin Zheng was worried about his 80-year-old mother in the hospital, and he was also old. In a hurry, he used all his legs and feet to stagger open the hospital door, then turned around to lock the door, but he couldn't lock it after trying for a long time.
He became even more anxious and cursed under his breath.
Zhou Dongmeng was standing aside. When he saw Old Man Lin running out of the house with a pale face, he knew something had probably happened. Seeing that his hands were shaking with anxiety, Zhou Dongmeng took a few steps forward and helped lock the door.
Lin Zheng snorted and said disdainfully: "Don't think that just because you did me a small favor, you can expect me to be a designer for your crappy construction site."
Zhou Dongmeng smiled and said bluntly: "I'm not that kind of person."
Lin Zheng glared at him fiercely, said nothing more, walked to the car, opened the door and got in the driver's seat. However, his hands and feet were shaking so badly that he tried to start the car several times but failed. He was so anxious that he kept slapping the steering wheel.
Finally, Zhou Dongmeng walked over, opened the car door, and said in a deep voice, "Designer Lin, let me drive."
Lin Zheng paused, looked up at the tall man in front of him, and asked subconsciously: "Can you drive?"
In the 1980s, there were very few cars on the road.
Not many people can open it.
Zhou Dong nodded: "I drove it for a few years when I was in the army."
Lin Zheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he was thinking about his old mother in the hospital, and on the other hand, he didn't want to use Zhou Dongmeng. He knew that Zhou Dongmeng came here to ask for help, but if he let him drive...
Zhou Dongmeng was a shrewd man and naturally understood what was going on in the mind of the old man Lin Zheng. He sighed helplessly, reached out and grabbed Lin Zheng's collar, and with a little force pulled the old man out of the driver's seat.
Lin Zheng: “…”
Zhou Dong bent down and threw the gift into the back seat, then sat in the driver's seat and said in a deep voice, "Get in the car!"
Lin Zheng: “…”
After his brain struggled for a few seconds, the old man angrily got into the passenger seat.
Zhou Dong grabbed the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and slowly drove out of the villa area.
On the way.
He asked, “Where to?”
Lin Zheng coughed and said, "Central Hospital."
"Um."
Zhou Dong turned the steering wheel sharply and turned into the right-hand lane before saying, "Don't worry, Designer Lin. I won't use this opportunity to force you to do anything."
Hearing this, Lin Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to the young man in front of him, but when he saw him holding the steering wheel and driving seriously, the words turned around and he didn't say them in the end.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped steadily at the gate of the inpatient department of the central hospital.
Lin Zheng opened the car door and rushed to the hospital.
Zhou Dong thought hard, then followed Lin Zheng at a leisurely pace. It was not that he wanted to make Lin Zheng agree to him in this way, but he thought that Lin Zheng was also an old man in his sixties, thin and skinny. If there was any emergency, he could still help. If there was nothing else, he would leave.
Zhou Dongmeng followed all the way, and when he reached the upper floor and opened the door of the ward, he was startled when he saw the person in the ward clearly, and shouted, "Wife?"
Chen Xiang turned around and looked over, surprise written in her beautiful eyes: "Mengzi? Why are you here?"
Zhou Dong pointed at Lin Zheng, who had already rushed to the bedside to see his old mother, and introduced him, "This is Designer Lin."
The implication is that I came here with him.
The man also came to the bedside and lowered his deep voice: "What about you? Why are you here? Didn't you go to the store to check it out? How was it?"
Chen Xiang stood up obediently and greeted Lin Zheng first: "Hello, Designer Lin."
Lin Zheng nodded.
I guess we've already understood the situation over the phone.
After saying hello, Chen Xiang walked over to Zhou Dongmeng and whispered, "The shop has been chosen. It's 300 meters south of the City Hall roundabout. The rent is very cheap. Besides, I had lunch with the landlord at noon, and he said he would help find a carpenter to make tables and chairs, which would save us a lot of money."
Zhou Dongmeng raised his hand and pinched his wife's soft face, smiling lovingly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xiang shook her head: "It's not hard. Our lives will get better and better in the future."
Zhou Dong glanced in the direction of the bed, and seeing that they didn't notice him, he reached out and held Chen Xiang's hand, and said softly, "Yes, our lives will get better and better."
Seeing that he didn't care about others and came over to her so brazenly, Chen Xiang pouted her red lips and glared at him.
She changed the subject: "I saw the lady fall down when I came out of the restaurant, so I came to the hospital."
Zhou Dongmeng asked in a low voice: "Are you scared?"
Chen Xiang: “A little bit.”
Hearing this, the man raised his hand and rubbed his wife's head. Chen Xiang was kind-hearted and would have stepped forward to help if he had seen the old lady fall. He was not there at the time, but he could probably imagine how chaotic it was.
Zhou Dongmeng praised: "My wife is awesome!"
Chen Xiang uttered a small sound.
At this moment, Lin Zheng, who was standing in front of the bed, coughed heavily. Looking at the sticky young couple in front of him, he interrupted them mercilessly: "I said if you two want to be bored, go home and be bored!"
Chen Xiang blushed instantly.
Zhou Dongmeng: "Designer Lin, since your mother is fine, my wife and I will go back first."
As he said this, he held Chen Xiang's hand and prepared to go out.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Zheng called him unhappily.
The young couple stopped at the same time and turned to look at him.
Lin Zheng's eyes slid from Zhou Dongmeng's face to Chen Xiang's face. He smiled unnaturally and said, "Little girl, thank you."
Chen Xiang waved her hands quickly and said, "It doesn't matter. I will help anyone who encounters this situation."
Lin Zheng pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Zhou Dongmeng for a long while before saying awkwardly, "Well... I promised you to work as a designer in your engineering department. You don't have to squat at my door tomorrow. I don't want to see you. I'll go there by myself in a week."
Zhou Dong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but he agreed: "Okay, thank you Designer Lin."
Lin Zheng is a famous national designer.
He designed most of the country's engineering projects, but after his wife passed away two years ago, he announced his retirement and would never return to the industry again.
After Chen Xiang and Zhou Dongmeng came back from the city, they started to get busy with their own things.
Zhou Dongmeng spent most of his time eating and sleeping in the construction team, while Chen Xiang moved to the city with her parents-in-law, in order to renovate the hot pot restaurant and to take care of them more conveniently.
Decoration is a very tiring job. Chen Xiang took care of everything inside and outside the house. Zhou Dongmeng would come back to help when he had time to rest. Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Xiang won a bottle of nutrient solution from the Kongjian hotpot restaurant. She put it in water every day and fed it to her father-in-law. After medication, his health improved significantly during this period.
My mother-in-law is so happy that she can't stop smiling every day.
"Xiangxiang is such a nice kid."
"Old man, your illness has improved a lot. You slept soundly last night. It's great. Finally, the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining."
"It's just that the two children are too tired now. They only see each other once every ten days or half a month."
The mother-in-law kept muttering happily, and then she would concentrate on helping Chen Xiang with work. No matter how dirty or tiring the work was, she never complained. She was like a brick, moving wherever she was needed.
After two months of renovation, Chen Xiang chose an auspicious day and officially opened the hot pot restaurant!
On the first day, the venue was 100% full!
The next day, you need to make an appointment!
On the third day, all the guests had made reservations until a week later!
Chen Xiang had not expected such popularity. After restarting her life, she seemed to have the ability to make money. No matter what she did, many people would come to support her.
Not only that, Chen Xiang also met many acquaintances. On the first day of business, the landlord, Brother Li, came to show his support with gifts and his colleagues. Afterwards, she met Guan Di, the big brother from the steel factory.
We booked a private room for a family gathering.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Guan Di parked the car in the parking space of the hot pot restaurant. When he turned off the engine, Guan Zhen and Gao Yalin got out of the car in the back seat.
Guan Di pulled out the car key, turned his head to look at his younger brother who was driving the car, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to get out of the car?"
Guan Xing'an opened his eyes, looked out the car window, then pushed open the door and got out without saying a word.
The family entered the hot pot restaurant one after another.
Chen Xiang was busy directing outside the cashier counter. When she saw Guan Di, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Guan?"
