"Before, you kept saying that she was an ungrateful person and that Zhenfeng died for her. She got married and had children so quickly in Hong Kong, but Zhenfeng had no place in her heart at all."

Mr. He waved his hand casually: "That being said, you can't let her stay single for the rest of her life just for Zhen Feng, right?"

"She left her hometown when she was young, her nephew was so young, and her in-laws were so old. How could it be easy for a woman like her to take care of the Ye family?"

"That requires no external help."

"If you want to live, you have to be ruthless."

The old man sighed: "When people are forced into a desperate situation, they have no choice."

"Ting, this kid, even though he doesn't say anything, he is the most filial to me."

"He thought that since I had feelings for his mother, he wouldn't go to see her behind my back, nor would he accept anything she gave him."

"It's hard because he was afraid that I would feel bad, so he had to hide it from me."

In the past, Mr. He didn’t dare to have anything to do with the Ye family and Ye Xiangling, and it was all for this family.

They hadn't been in contact for so many years. Given Ye Xiangling's intelligence, she was able to stop A Ting and meet him when he passed through Hong Kong this time. This shows that the situation has changed.

From now on, the Ye family will no longer be a taboo.

He is an old man, can he still prevent the mother and son from recognizing each other?

So what has he become?

Grandpa He told Wei Shuhua: "We have been acting for so long, I can't lose face. Later, you can find a chance to tell my granddaughter-in-law that she has accepted the things given by her mother-in-law and she doesn't have to return them..."

The old man gave the important task to Wei Shuhua, but Wei Shuhua was still timid.

The main reason was that her husband's younger brother He Zhenfeng died that year, and Ye Xiangling fled to Hong Kong, which was a huge blow to He Ting.

Before she was sure about He Ting's attitude towards Ye Xiangling, Wei Shuhua didn't dare to talk about these things in front of Lu Baiwei, for fear of making things worse.

Gu Min was familiar with Lu Baiwei and knew very well that his sister-in-law was a money-grubber.

She took the initiative to take charge of the matter: "Mom, I'll find a chance to talk to Weiwei about this indirectly!"

"Master Su and I have an appointment with Weiwei and the others to discuss something tomorrow. I will bring little Qi Ranran to the house to play with their brothers and sisters, and then I will find a chance to talk to Weiwei about He Ting's situation in Hong Kong."

In just a few months, Shiweiji has already made a name for itself in Kyoto.

With Su Changyao's talent in cooking, it is impossible for him to be satisfied with just staying in Shiweiji as a head chef and managing the two newly recruited assistant chefs.

He is very ambitious and feels it is time to expand the store and strengthen Shiweiji.

Before, He Ting and Shen Junqian had been busy with overseas inspections, and Lu Baiwei was concentrating on running Weiman Clothing, so it was difficult to call them over to discuss matters.

Taking advantage of the fact that He Ting and Shen Junqian have returned, he told Gu Min about his idea of ​​expanding the store.

After summoning all the people to Shiweiji, Su Changyao and Gu Min gave a report on the business operations over the past few months.

"Shiweiji's turnover is increasing every month, from more than 10,000 in the first month of opening to more than 30,000 a month now. We have recently signed supply orders for braised dishes and rabbit meat with two restaurants, and we expect the turnover to increase further in the future."

"In terms of staffing, we hired two assistants in the kitchen, Song He went to the clothing store next door, and Manager Gu later hired three more waiters."

"With the increase in sales, Shiweiji now has five waiters, one chef, two assistant chefs, and Manager Gu. There are now a total of nine people in Shiweiji."

"But when we get big orders from regular customers during holidays, or when someone orders a banquet, we are still in a rush."

"I think there are two options to improve Shiweiji's current business situation and take it to the next level. One is to expand the store based on the current one, and the other is to open a branch."

After Su Changyao finished his analysis, he looked at Lu Baiwei.

Weiman Clothing developed rapidly with the participation of her uncle and Li Man, and negotiated several orders in the work wear sector.

Lu Baiwei was overwhelmed.

Gu Min discussed with her the plan to expand the store a few days ago, so Lu Baiwei planned to assign this task to others. Among the candidates, Shen Junqian was the most capable in business and could make big decisions.

Lu Baiwei looked at Shen Junqian and asked him to give his suggestions.

Shen Junqian continued, "Sister Weiwei brought up this matter yesterday. At first, my opinion was to expand the store, because the name of Shiweiji has been spread out, and everyone knows that our store is opposite Kyoto University. Many people come here to find it."

"But yesterday I went to the street office to ask Director Li about renting a shop, and I gave up the idea of ​​expanding the store."

"There are two shops next to Shiweiji. One is a clothing store run by Weiwei. According to Director Li, the property rights of the other shop do not belong to the street office. They are just managing it on behalf of the street office."

"Recently, there have been too many cases of people returning to the city from the countryside asking the street office to take back the ownership of their houses. If you buy a shop with a property rights dispute, you will run into a lot of trouble."

Shen Junqian explained: "It is very likely that our shop has just been renovated and the owner asked the street office to take the shop back."

"Then renting this shop to expand the store would be too risky."

"Sister Weiwei, the clothing store has just opened and business is booming, so we can't move it for the time being."

Shen Junqian suggested: "Now that our Shiweiji has become famous, my opinion is to open a branch."

"With the continuous development of Shiweiji, we will open Shiweiji in every corner of Kyoto in the future."

Everyone agreed to open a branch store, and Shen Junqian said, "Then we need to consider everyone's opinions on where to choose the branch store location."

After Shen Junqian finished speaking, he looked at He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng.

Those who came to Kyoto to study undoubtedly did not know as much about Kyoto as He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng, who were born and raised in Kyoto.

“Wangfujing has the most traffic.”

Zhou Yanfeng said this and He Ting nodded.

The store addresses proposed by the two of them coincided with those of the ambitious Su Changyao.

When the Su family was at its most glorious, the best restaurant they opened was in Wangfujing.

Since the day he walked out of the mental hospital, Su Changyao has been thinking about restoring the former glory of the Su family, and he believes that Shiweiji's entry into Wangfujing will be the first step for her to take off and revitalize the Su family.

Su Changyao continued, "Wangfujing has the most famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing, and our restaurant specializes in stewed dishes. Our signature dishes include spicy rabbit, spicy rabbit, and spiced rabbit."

"So, there is no competition or conflict between our dishes and those of restaurants that mainly sell roast duck."

“I think opening a branch of Shiweiji in Wangfujing will definitely bring booming business.”

Su Changyao asked Gu Min: "Manager Gu, you are also from Kyoto, what is your suggestion?"

“Wangfujing’s location is naturally good, but we also have to consider the rent and investment costs.”
