"Of course I know business isn't easy." Chen Shikui rolled her eyes at him and said rather precociously, "But this is different. At least for the next year, as long as we don't make any major operational mistakes, there won't be a platform with a better reputation or recognition than ours."
"Combined with the money we earned from delivering food, what we have now is no small sum." Li Zishan echoed her sister.
"So..." Chen Shikui hesitated for a long time, then suddenly said, "Should we tell our parents about this?"
Shikui was bright and quick-witted, managing the campus wall in perfect order during her spare time. However, she was still a junior high school student, not a wealthy woman like Wang Jinling or Lin Xueyan, who had seen vast sums of money. In fact, just last year, her family's finances were in a dire straits, with her weekly allowance at a mere sixty or seventy yuan.
The sudden arrival of such a huge sum of money, like a gust of wind, made her feel at a loss for a moment. Even now, she still doesn't feel at ease. She feels that the money is not like it has fallen into her pocket and she cannot embezzle it.
Chen Tinghan looked at her and said with a smile, "What do you think our parents would do if they heard us say that we made a lot of money doing business online?"
"Hmm..." Chen Shikui thought for a moment, then suddenly felt a little desperate: "We'll have to explain for at least two hours."
"What if you told them you used your spare time to create a platform and made a commission from other people's food deliveries? Even if you explained it clearly, but then your grades dropped, even though you insisted that the drop in grades had nothing to do with this, how would they believe it?"
Chen Shikui imagined that scene: two... Lao Dengs? Nagging at her all the time, and she couldn't stop getting a headache.
"But......"
"Don't worry," Chen Tinghan said reassuringly, "There will be someone responsible for managing this money, from taxes to accounting. We should consider how to spend this money we've earned ourselves, or how to make it more."
The money we earned with our own hands... This sentence made Shikui's eyes light up slightly, and she became distracted, as if imagining what such a large sum of money could be exchanged for.
After a while she said, "Well, I still want to make them more."
Chen Tinghan smiled and said, "Of course, you are a shareholder, you have the final say."
"Who helps us manage the money?" Li Zishan suddenly asked from the side.
Chen Tinghan froze for less than a second before calmly saying, "I used my connections to hire a secretary. He's a man with outstanding abilities and is considered an expert in this field. If you need him, I'll give you his contact information."
"Oh." Li Zishan glanced at him suspiciously, but did not ask any further questions.
Then the two women left Chen Tinghan aside and discussed among themselves what they could do with the money.
It has to be said that his sister and his daughter are both naturally beautiful. The sight of the girls hugging each other is quite pleasing to the eye. He watched from the side and of course had no objection.
But this pleasant moment did not last long. Soon, a phone call disturbed the peace of the three people.
It was Cheng Zhilan, the biological mother of the brother and sister.
"Have you had lunch?" Cheng Zhilan said quickly, "It's the weekend, and all you know is to go out and have fun. You didn't come back until two in the morning yesterday, and you fell asleep like a dead pig. If I didn't have something to do today, I would have slapped you!"
Chen Tinghan smiled awkwardly, "It's a good thing you were out... What's the matter? Why did you call me and scold me?"
"Why, I can't scold you?"
"I can scold you, I can scold you. I can scold you even if I wait for you to come back. It's not worth wasting some phone money just to scold me. It's not worth it."
"You're so smooth-talking, I don't know who you learned that from." Cheng Zhilan sneered and said, "Your sister is at home, she's been preparing for the exam. She heard you stayed up late yesterday, so she wanted to come back and see you today."
Chen Tinghan glanced at his sister who was holding Li Zishan and said, "Here, he just finished his meal."
"Okay, then take a taxi and come see me. Your uncle wants to treat us to dinner for some reason."
"It's common for my uncle to treat us to a meal. It's not surprising." Chen Tinghan asked in confusion.
"It's not surprising, but he usually invites guests to Wanqing. Today he invites them to a teahouse, which is strange." Cheng Zhilan said, "You haven't been to a teahouse yet, right? I was there once before, and a tray of chicken feet there would cost thirty or forty yuan, and that was thirty or forty yuan five years ago.
I don’t know how much it would cost to treat guests to a meal there and have a full meal.”
Chen Tinghan had an idea. Cheng Jun was a generous man, but he also had the frugal nature of the older generation. In order to maintain the blood-thicker-than-water family relationship, monthly food expenses were necessary, but inviting them to a place like the Wanqing Hotel would seem extravagant and wasteful.
There are two possibilities as to why this change occurred, and Chen Tinghan decided to find out.
He asked jokingly, "What's going on? Did your uncle get his demolition compensation? Did he get rich?"
"That's not the case. I just heard that Cheng Jun seemed to know some boss and wanted to discuss something in a teahouse, so he invited us over for dinner."
"So will my dad go?"
"Go, that's rare." Cheng Zhilan said sarcastically, "He just looks down on our relatives here. He used to find excuses to shirk responsibility, but today he's being nice."
Chen Tinghan said a few words to comfort him, but he knew in his heart that the matter he had entrusted to Lao Xu was settled.
Xu Jingwen is quite efficient. I discussed it with him the day before yesterday and it was officially finalized today. The matter was done today. It seems that he had already informed his family.
With Mrs. Lin's face, things can be done easily.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shikui said with an unhappy face, "I don't want to go. I don't want to see those monkeys."
"No, that won't do. If you don't go, I'll be the one scolding you." Chen Tinghan coughed twice and said, "It's okay. If those monkeys dare to cause trouble for you again, I'll beat them up this time."
Chen Shikui still frowned, but reluctantly agreed. She turned her gaze to Li Zishan and suddenly said, "Sister Shanshan, come with me."
Li Zishan was startled and said, "Let's not do it. After all, it's your family dinner."
"What's wrong with a family dinner? Doesn't someone still want you to be my family in the future?" Chen Shikui said with a sneer, looking straight at Chen Tinghan.
Before Chen Tinghan could say anything, Li Zishan blushed and glanced at him. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
After a while, she finally gave in and said, "Next time, next time."
