Zhu Qianying thought that if Young Master Yan came at this time, he would most likely take the opportunity to stay and freeload dinner, and she had already thought of an excuse to refuse him.
Unexpectedly, after handing the fruit to Chen Jing, he said, "No, I have to go."
When he was about to leave, Zhu Qianying and her daughter were naturally overjoyed. Zhu Qianying saw him to the door, and Yan Shao reminded her again, "Remember to take your medicine, and you absolutely can't stay up late anymore!"
Zhu Qianying nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, "Is this man really Young Master Yan? Why is he even more talkative than my mother?"
That wasn't all. Young Master Yan continued, "If you see a shop you like, remember to call Qin Xiu!"
Zhu Qianying nodded again. If it weren't for the booming sales of Yanhuang Group's properties, Zhu Qianying would have definitely thought that Young Master Yan was trying to trick her into renting a shop that had been stagnant for years.
After seeing Yan Shao off, Zhu Qianying returned to the kitchen and sat down in front of the counter and refrigerator. There was still someone busy at work, but this time it was her mother.
"Mom, don't bother looking for a job anymore. How about we open a private restaurant?"
Zhu Qianying had just calculated that she could rent one of the medium-sized shops in Yanhuang Group's stores, and the remaining money should be enough to cover the costs of decoration and facilities.
Chen Jing turned her head and looked at her warily, "That shop you looked at last time? Wasn't the transfer fee 300,000? Where did you get the money?"
Zhu Qianying had secretly visited the shop Chen Jing mentioned, without her mother's knowledge. She hadn't expected it, but she couldn't hide it from her.
"It's not that one. I'm looking at a new shop. The deposit is three months' rent, and the first rent is two months' rent. The shop comes with basic decorations, and we just need to do some minor repairs before we can put it into use. I just calculated that I should have enough money on hand. If I really don't have enough, I can ask Xiaoyu to lend me some."
As Zhu Qianying spoke, she opened the layout on the iPad and pointed it out to Chen Jing.
To be honest, Chen Jing would definitely like to open a shop.
Firstly, she herself has the talent in this area.
Secondly, she also hoped that she could reduce her daughter's burden after she started working.
Thirdly, Zizai will be going to school after the Spring Festival, and he will no longer need his mother-in-law to accompany him all day. Moreover, Zizai now goes back to the Yan family to stay for a few days every few days, and Chen Jing herself is getting more and more bored. Opening a shop can make money and give her something to look forward to, which can be described as killing several birds with one stone.
Chen Jing was very satisfied with the layout of the shop and the surrounding environment. However, when she saw the Yanhuang Group watermark at the bottom of the picture, she couldn't help but think about it again.
"Ying'er, this shop, could it be Young Master Yan's..."
Zhu Qianying immediately interrupted her, "Mom, he doesn't care. We will pay the rent as usual, just like we would with any other shop."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, in that case, go ahead and take a look. If it's suitable, then rent it."
After repeatedly receiving the message "Please go back and wait for further notice" at work, Chen Jing vaguely understood that the Zhu family was trying to block all the roads leading to her workplace in L City.
Therefore, apart from opening her own shop, she couldn't actually find a job in the same industry.
Zhu Qianying is a very efficient person. While her mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, she called Qin Xiu.
They agreed to go to the shop together tomorrow, but neither Qin Xiu nor Zhu Qianying mentioned the price.
During dinner, Chen Jing couldn't help but nag again, "Ying'er, you must never be greedy for small gains. It's easy to take in something, but hard to get it back."
"Mom, I know!"
She's not stupid. Five years ago, she almost lost everything for 200 million. She finally managed to get out of that mess, so why would she turn around and jump into a new pit?
After dinner, Zhu Qianying obediently took her medicine under Chen Jing's supervision, and then made a phone call to her beloved son in Beijing.
Zizai was very excited on the phone because his cousin and older cousin would finally have a day off tomorrow and could take him out to play all day.
Zhu Qianying had no idea that, apart from his older cousins being too busy with school to play with him, the little guy's hand had been wrapped up like a bear's paw ever since he was injured that day. How could the elders feel comfortable letting him go out to play?
The little guy on the other end of the phone is quite good at keeping things from his mom; he hasn't mentioned his injured hand to her in all these days.
Zhu Qianying, who had been kept in the dark, chatted with her son for more than half an hour. Both mother and son were reluctant to part. After finally hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianying turned on her computer and prepared to work for a while.
After a night's rest and most of the day, Zhu Qianying felt refreshed and full of inspiration. She opened her work interface and immersed herself in it.
Once she's focused on her work, she completely ignores the distractions around her. The phone next to her kept ringing, annoying her so much that she had no choice but to answer it.
Hello!
"Shadow, do you have time?" It was Qin Xiu on the other end of the phone.
Zhu Qianying habitually pressed the save button. "Didn't we say we'd go see it tomorrow?"
She assumed that Qin Xiu wanted to invite her to look at shops.
"I'm not here to look at shops, I have something else I need your help with!"
Zhu Qianying glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer screen; it was not yet nine o'clock.
"Okay, I can leave in ten minutes. Where should we meet?"
Zhu Qianying wondered to herself, "Could it be that they've come to speak on behalf of their boss?"
"Can I wait for you outside your apartment complex gate in half an hour?"
"Okay, see you in half an hour!"
Half an hour later, Zhu Qianying, bundled up tightly, walked out of the community gate. Qin Xiu's car was already parked outside. Seeing Zhu Qianying, he rolled down the window and gestured for her to sit in the passenger seat.
As Zhu Qianying got into the car, she fastened her seatbelt and asked directly, "Brother Qin, you didn't call me because of Young Master Yan, did you?"
Zhu Qianying felt that she had already made things very clear to Yan Shao that morning and did not want to repeat those words in front of outsiders.
"Sort of, but not entirely. You'll know when you get there," Qin Xiu gave her an ambiguous answer.
Zhu Qianying was clearly dissatisfied with this answer, which was essentially meaningless. "Brother Qin, I'm stupid. You should just explain things clearly."
If she really was acting as an intermediary for Young Master Yan, she could get off the bus now.
"Ah, luckily I foresaw this would happen."
Qin Xiu sighed and handed over a slip of paper.
Zhu Qianying took the note with suspicion; the handwriting on it was somewhat familiar to her.
"Ying'er, come to Yiran Pavilion with Qin Xiu, I need to speak with you! By Yan Han"
Zhu Qianying grew increasingly puzzled. Yiran Pavilion?
If she remembered correctly, a few years ago, this villa area nestled against the mountains and overlooking the water was highly favored among the younger generation of wealthy and powerful families, and many rich kids owned properties here.
