Chapter 146: Withdrawal of Investment is Cold and Ruthless
"Wei Dashan is gone?" Su Xueqing was shocked.
"Yes, he's gone. He was in a car accident and died when he was sent to the hospital." Su Yanan said, "My third brother just called me and asked me to tell you something."
"..." Su Xueqing was silent. She didn't know what to say.
They had already fallen out with Amelia Su, so what could they do at this time?
"Is there enough money?" Su Xueqing asked, "Is there enough money for the funeral?"
"No matter if they have enough money or not." Su Yanan said, "Don't go there, don't help her. If we really help her, she will think we will help her more, and she will then play the victim. If we can't go there, it's not like there are no other people in the Wei family. If it really doesn't work, Su Yamei can borrow money from the Wei family. Forget about the cemetery in the city, which costs money. Just cremate it and send it to the countryside for burial. It can be regarded as returning to one's roots and save money. I told it directly when my third brother called."
Now that Wei Dashan is gone, Amelia Su will have to face Wei Yaozu on her own in the future.
"It was a car accident, and there's compensation money." Su Yanan said, "If they want to bury Wei Dashan in the city, it's not impossible. They can just use the compensation money to buy a cemetery. Will they agree?"
Wei Yaozu still owed others money, but he hadn't paid it all off. With this compensation, Wei Yaozu could pay back the money he owed, and also buy a house with a down payment. Later, Wei Yaozu and Su Yamei opened a breakfast shop, and the two of them paid the mortgage, which was better than renting a house.
Su Yanan didn’t say those words, but Amelia Su understood.
It is very likely that Amelia Su would not buy a cemetery for Wei Dashan in the city for Wei Yaozu, but would choose to bury Wei Dashan back in the village where he grew up. If Amelia Su did that, it could be said that she was returning to her roots, and others would not say much about Amelia Su.
"I came here to tell you that I'm not asking you to help her." Su Yanan said, "She doesn't need our help at all. She has her Yaozu. Her Yaozu can get things done."
Even if Wei Yaozu can’t do it, Amelia Su will hold on.
“Third brother, I also told him not to go over there.” Su Yanan said, “Mom died at the door of Amelia Su’s breakfast shop. At that time, Amelia Su thought that Mom lay down on purpose, and didn’t think about whether Mom was in trouble or not, and it was the nurse who had to go and see. Amelia Su is so unfilial, we don’t go over there, we don’t interfere in her affairs, who dares to say that we are wrong. Let Amelia Su deal with it herself!”
Su Yanan no longer called Su Yamei "Sister", but just called her by her name.
"Amelia Su is stupid!" Su Yanan said, "Even though they had so many opportunities, they still had to speculate in stocks and turned their good family into this. If Wei Yaozu hadn't speculated in stocks and the family still had so much money, would the couple have opened a breakfast shop? If they didn't open a breakfast shop, nothing would have happened today!"
Su Yanan thinks it's all Amelia Su's fault. Amelia Su always goes along with Wei Yaozu in everything. It's true that Wei Yaozu is an adult, but Wei Yaozu doesn't understand those things at all. Wei Yaozu thinks that being friends is okay, but is that enough?
Anti-fraud propaganda is useless.
Wei Shanshan went over and told him, but it was no use!
Others also asked Amelia Su to pay attention, but Amelia Su still followed Wei Yaozu. Wei Yaozu said that the shit was fragrant, and Amelia Su even licked it twice and said: It really smells good.
"I came here to tell you about this incident." Su Yanan said, "My third brother said he would take a look. If there is nothing else important, he will not go over."
"Well, okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "Then I won't go over."
Wei Dashan was in a car accident, there were witnesses and evidence, the perpetrator could not escape. The hospital tried to save Wei Dashan but failed, Amelia Su asked the funeral home to take Wei Dashan away, but did not cremate him immediately. Amelia Su wanted the perpetrator to pay compensation, someone died, and when the perpetrator got out of the car, his legs were weak.
You have to pay compensation. If you don't, the perpetrator will have to bear more serious consequences. If you pay compensation, you can get a lighter punishment.
Regarding the compensation, Amelia Su did not tell the people in Wei's hometown first. They had to wait until the dust settled and she and her son got the money before they could send Wei Dashan back to the countryside. Amelia Su was afraid that the people in the Wei family would take the compensation. When the house was demolished, the relatives in Wei Dashan's hometown asked them to borrow money, but Amelia Su insisted that she had no money and refused to lend them money.
Amelia Su felt that she had lent them money, and they would definitely not be able to pay it back. This also led to the fact that people from Wei Dashan's hometown were reluctant to associate with them, and Wei Dashan's hometown people thought they were not kind.
Fortunately, the perpetrator's family had a lot of money, and the two sides discussed the compensation. When the money was in place, Amelia Su asked the funeral home to cremate Wei Dashan. In less than a week, Amelia Su quickly handled the matter.
As for how to spend the money, Amelia Su told Wei Dashan directly that they would pay back the money and buy another house. Amelia Su should not rent a house and should not always worry about the landlord telling her about the rent increase. When Amelia Su rented out her house before, she told the tenant about the rent increase. She didn't care whether the tenant was willing or not, she just notified them directly. If the tenant doesn't want to rent a house, then get out, there are plenty of people who want to rent a house.
Amelia Su first used the money to buy a house. After paying the down payment and settling the house, Amelia Su went to the countryside with Wei Yaozu. The two of them sent Wei Dashan back together. Amelia Su was worried that Wei Yaozu could not deal with those people in Wei's hometown, and she was afraid that Wei Yaozu would suffer, so she had to stay by his side.
The Su family did not go to Amelia Su to help Amelia Su, but they also kept an eye on her all the way to prevent anything from happening to Amelia Su.
After Amelia Su took Wei Yaozu to the countryside, Wei Dashan's brothers were not very happy. Such a big thing had happened, and Amelia Su cremated the person, and it took such a long time to tell them.
"Dashan is your brother. He wants to return to his roots. You can't fail to find him a grave." Su Yamei said, "If you don't find him a grave, I will just bury his ashes under the tree."
Wei Dashan’s eldest brother was furious when he heard what Amelia Su said.
"Did we say we wouldn't find him a grave?" Brother Wei said, "You just arrived and you're saying this. You're slapping us in the face! He's our brother, how could we ignore him? Did you just cremate him without holding a funeral for him? Did you ask someone to chant sutras?"
When country people hold funerals, there are a lot of etiquette to it. They have to hire people to chant sutras and prepare things like paper houses.
"Didn't you tell us before you came?" Mrs. Wei was angry. She stood beside her husband and felt that Amelia Su was too cold. Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Yaozu again, "If your mother doesn't tell you, you won't tell us either? That's your biological father!"
Wei Yaozu didn’t care whether he was his biological father or not. His mother arranged everything and he just had to follow her.
Wei Yaozu didn't say a word. When his uncle and aunt asked him questions, he didn't answer. When Brother Wei and Sister Wei saw this, they were all helpless. Others who saw this said: Yaozu is very similar to his father when he was young, both of them don't like to talk.
Not talkative...
Wei Yaozu was very talkative when he was in South City. He talked a lot. Now he just felt irritated and didn't want to deal with those things, so he didn't say anything. If he wanted to say something, he would say it. If he didn't want to say it, no one could do anything about it.
When something happens, let others do it.
Wei Yaozu has been like this since he was a child. His parents held him in the palm of their hands, and he has never suffered any hardship. After the stock speculation failed, the house was mortgaged and sold. Wei Yaozu set up a stall to sell breakfast with his parents. How long has it been since Wei Dashan died in a car accident? There was also compensation, and Amelia Su was able to buy a house with Wei Yaozu with a down payment.
“He is still young.” Amelia Su said, “Just tell me if you have anything to say.”
“He’s such a big man, and he’s still young?” Mrs. Wei really didn’t know why Amelia Su said such a thing.
Wei Yaozu is not young at all, he already has children.
"Didn't he lose all your family fortune by speculating in the stock market?" said Mrs. Wei.
“There are always failures in investments, and this cannot be entirely blamed on him,” Amelia Su said.
“…” Mrs. Wei’s mouth twitched slightly. Amelia Su really knew how to say, what does it mean that Wei Yaozu can’t be blamed? If not Wei Yaozu, who can she blame?
“Those are our family’s things, we can deal with them however we want.” Amelia Su said.
"Okay, your family can handle it yourself." said Mrs. Wei.
“We should find a cemetery for Dashan as soon as possible.” Amelia Su said, “Let’s get things done as soon as possible so we can go back earlier. We still have to continue selling breakfast.”
Amelia Su didn't have much money, so she wanted to sell breakfast early to make money, and she couldn't let Wei Yaozu sell breakfast alone to make money. Amelia Su was worried that Wei Yaozu couldn't make much money alone, and the mortgage was not a small amount, so Wei Yaozu couldn't do it alone. Amelia Su also thought that she didn't know when the accident would happen. What if she died early, what would Wei Yaozu do? She had to help Wei Yaozu arrange everything.
At this time, Amelia Su was still thinking about Wei Yaozu. Amelia Su always said that she would let Wei Yaozu take care of them in their old age, but now Wei Yaozu did not take care of Wei Dashan in his old age, so it depends on whether Wei Yaozu will take care of Amelia Su in the future.
"Dashan's funeral still needs to be held." said Brother Wei.
“If you want to do it, you have to pay for it. We don’t have any money.” Amelia Su said, “Dashan is your brother, you have to take care of him.”
Amelia Su is like this, she has no money.
"You and Dashan have been husband and wife for so many years, and this is it?" said Mrs. Wei.
"It's not that I have to do this, you don't know how much it costs to live in the city." Amelia Su said, "We have to spend a lot of money, it's not like we can just sit there. You can always make a living by farming in the countryside. We can't do that. If we don't work, how can we have food? Eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating all cost money."
Amelia Su felt depressed when she thought about it. How great it would be if those things had not been lost by Wei Yaozu's stock speculation. But Amelia Su didn't dare to tell Wei Yaozu, for fear that Wei Yaozu would be unhappy, so she could only hide it in her heart. Obviously, it was something that everyone knew, and Amelia Su couldn't say more, nor could she let others say more, for fear that Wei Yaozu would be unhappy.
As a biological mother, Amelia Su always considered Wei Yaozu’s feelings, fearing that Wei Yaozu would hate her.
The people in Wei Dashan's hometown were speechless. They had no way to ask Amelia Su and Wei Yaozu to pay more money, and they themselves didn't have that much money, so they could only do it simply, without making it too grand. Let the relatives who are closer to the family come, and those who are a little more distant don't need to come.
After Wei Dashan was buried, Amelia Su took Wei Yaozu away. They did not stay in the countryside for long, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.
Brother Wei and his wife were quite dissatisfied with Amelia Su and Wei Yaozu's actions, but they had no choice. People really have to live, and it is not easy for them to stop Amelia Su and Wei Yaozu from making money, but they still felt sad and felt that Wei Yaozu and his wife had gone too far.
After everything was settled, Amelia Su and her son returned to the city. When Wei Dashan was there, he could still go to purchase goods. Wei Dashan and Amelia Su acted separately, and things could be done faster. But now, Amelia Su and Wei Yaozu are doing those things together. Wei Yaozu doesn't like to move, and Amelia Su doesn't want Wei Yaozu to work too hard, so she can only work harder.
Amelia Su should do more things herself and let Wei Yaozu do less. Wei Yaozu saw that Amelia Su was working so hard, and he would not say that he would help Amelia Su more. He just thought that it would be better for Amelia Su to do more. Amelia Su should do more things, and Wei Yaozu should work less hard.
When Amelia Su knew that Amelia Su worked so hard and didn’t let Wei Yaozu do more things, they were particularly speechless.
In front of Amelia Su, when Su Yanan talked about Amelia Su, she felt that Amelia Su was born to be a hard worker.
"It's not that she can't enjoy life, it's that she finds things to do and does those things on her own." Su Yanan said, "Her son is so old, but she doesn't know how to let him do more. It's not that her son can't do those things."
"If she wants to do it, she can go and do more things. It doesn't matter." Su Xueqing said, "We shouldn't do those things. By the way, what's going on with Caixia's in-laws?"
Ning Wenjun withdrew her shares from Tian Caixia's cake shop. She had not originally thought about withdrawing her shares and would not interfere in the cake shop business. However, Tian Caixia's in-laws felt that the cake shop made money because Tian Caixia was in charge, and Tian Caixia also made cakes and other things, which no one else did. Tian Caixia's mother-in-law thought that Tian Caixia did not need to form a partnership with others, and she wanted to withdraw her other shares.
It was originally an investment among relatives. Tian Caixia's two brothers, Ning Wenjun and Su Xudong, and Tian Caixia's mother-in-law wanted people to withdraw their shares and then let people from her husband's family invest.
"They are just terrible." Su Yanan said, "I'm really sorry about what happened at the cake shop."
"That's nothing." Su Xueqing said, "Wenjun doesn't need a cake shop."
Su Xueqing felt that Tian Caixia's in-laws were making such a fuss, so Ning Wenjun withdrew her shares, and Su Xudong also withdrew his shares. When Ning Wenjun went there, she met Tian Caixia's in-laws, and Tian Caixia's mother-in-law deliberately said something to Ning Wenjun, implying that Ning Wenjun should withdraw her investment, and Ning Wenjun agreed.
"I won't sell the shop." Su Xueqing said.
Yes, Tian Caixia's mother-in-law wanted Tian Caixia to buy Su Xueqing's shop at a low price, saying that Su Xueqing was Tian Caixia's aunt and could let Su Xueqing sell the shop at a low price. Su Xueqing bought the shop in her early years and collected rent for many years. Su Xueqing had already made enough money, so she would not lose money if she sold the shop at a low price.
Tian Caixia didn't dare to tell Su Xueqing, but those people told Ning Wenjun. Tian Caixia's mother-in-law really said everything and had to take advantage of her.
"Don't sell it. You don't have to sell it." Su Yanan was a little embarrassed. "The rent itself is not high... Little sister, don't pay attention to what those people say."
"If Caixia doesn't want to open a cake shop there, she can change to another store." Su Xueqing said, "You can try renting someone else's store. Second sister, you and I are sisters, so I'll say these things directly. It's not good for me, as an elder, to say too much in front of Caixia. Caixia's mother-in-law is not satisfied with the rent I set, and she wants me to waive the rent. I don't really need this little money, but it's my stuff."
Su Xueqing didn't want Tian Caixia's mother-in-law to get too far. Now she wanted Su Xueqing to sell the store at a low price, but what about in the future? Who would dislike having too much money? Su Xueqing didn't want to sell the store like this.
Tian Caixia's mother-in-law didn't say it in front of Su Xueqing. If they said it in front of Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing would have rejected it. Su Xueqing couldn't just go along with them. She could arrange her things however she wanted.
"You're right, ignore her." Su Yanan sighed, "Caixia is also upset, she didn't think of asking Wenjun to withdraw her shares."
"It's already been refunded. It's better to refund it, so as to avoid more trouble." Su Xueqing said, "This shop has been opened and is making money now, which is a good deal. Caixia's mother-in-law cares about the cake shop's revenue because it makes a lot of money. If it made less money, she might not care about it."
"If they earn less, they should be more concerned." Su Yanan said, "Few people invest, so they invest by themselves, and all the money they earn is theirs."
Su Yanan didn't know what to say about Tian Caixia's in-laws. She originally thought that those people were all good. But after Tian Caixia got married for a while, she found that it was not the case. Tian Caixia's mother-in-law and her family still liked to care about some things.
"Little sister, you don't have to care about what those people think." Su Yanan said, "Regarding the cake shop... that location is good, you should charge the rent according to the market price, and raise the price when necessary. If they think the rent is too expensive and they can't afford it, they can rent another one. If they really have money, they can buy a store. But it's not that easy to buy a store in a good location. They have run a cake shop there for several years and have many repeat customers."
Su Yanan knew that Su Xueqing gave a low rent from the beginning, firstly because Ning Wenjun invested, and secondly because those younger generations were Su Xueqing's relatives, so Su Xueqing did that. When Tian Caixia's in-laws intervened, the nature of the matter was different.
"Caixia is the same. She doesn't even know how to talk to her mother-in-law properly." Su Yanan said.
"It's not that Caixia can just talk nicely. Some people are very stubborn. And it's her mother-in-law, so it's very difficult." Su Xueqing said, "Anyway, Wenjun has withdrawn her shares. Originally, Caixia was short of funds, so she asked everyone to invest together. Now that her cake shop is open, it doesn't matter whether everyone invests or not."
"Isn't this just like crossing the river and destroying the bridge?" Su Yanan said. She understood this point.
"Every family has its own problems." Su Xueqing said, "Caixia got married and started a new family. It's normal for her in-laws to have something to say. In her in-laws' eyes, others just paid money, which is not a lot of money, so naturally they have some thoughts."
"Why is it not a lot?" Su Yanan said, "If everyone hadn't contributed money, how could this cake shop be opened? Can Caixia have so much money to open a cake shop? Caixia's mother-in-law did this to make Caixia a degenerate. Caixia is really something, why did she just let her mother-in-law say whatever she wanted."
Su Yanan thought that Tian Caixia did not do well in this matter. But Tian Caixia was married, so she had to consider the thoughts of her husband's family. Su Yanan wondered if Tian Caixia saw that the cake shop was making money, and Tian Caixia herself did not want others to invest in it, and wanted to own all the shares of the cake shop.
Although Tian Caixia had a good character before she got married, Su Yanan could not guarantee that Tian Caixia would be the same after she got married. Money can move people's hearts. Tian Caixia worked in a cake shop and she knew the cake shop's business best. She knew whether the cake shop made money and how much money it made.
As a store manager, Tian Caixia received a relatively high salary, which was not low and was not less than other cake shop managers. When Tian Caixia first invested in a cake shop together, she did not take such a high risk. If she opened a shop by herself, she would take a higher risk. Ning Wenjun gave the money and did not seem to do anything else, but Su Xueqing rented out the shop.
"It's hard to say about her two brothers. Xudong has also withdrawn his shares." Su Yanan said, "Now... her two brothers... I think we should just let them withdraw. Let Caixia do it herself, and just think of her two brothers lending her the money."
"That's it." Su Xueqing said, "Just lend her the money right then."
Su Xueqing was not the kind of person who would haggle with the younger generation, she just told Su Yanan. They were all relatives, so it was easy to deal with, and everyone was not in great need of money. If it were someone else, they might not be so easy to talk to.
If the investment is good and it makes money, then no one will be required to invest. If it doesn't make money, people may continue to invest to share the cost. Now it's not about whether Tian Caixia has the ability to run a good cake shop, but the operation of Tian Caixia's mother-in-law has lost her good impression.
Su Xueqing was not feeling well, not to mention Third Sister Su. Third Sister Su's family had the demolition compensation and a house for rent, so they didn't have to worry about the cake shop's income, but everyone had already agreed on it, and now it has become like this, it would be strange if others felt good about it.
Others were thinking about making money and even how to spend it. Tian Caixia's mother-in-law came out and told them not to continue investing and asked them to withdraw their shares. Others could not think that this incident had nothing to do with Tian Caixia and took it as Tian Caixia's acquiescence.
Tian Caixia's mother-in-law was jumping up and down in front, while Tian Caixia was taking advantage of everything behind. Regardless of whether Tian Caixia had that intention or not, others assumed that she had that intention.
Su Xueqing didn't say anything else, and Su Yanan didn't continue speaking.
Each of them has their own children now, and Su Yanan even has grandchildren. Each family has become more complicated and is no longer as simple as before.
Su Xueqing didn't mean to blame Su Yanan, nor did she mean to ask Su Yanan to apologize for Tian Caixia. When you get married, there are all kinds of things. You can't just make your own decisions. You have to consider what your in-laws think. Tian Caixia still has a long time to get along with her in-laws, so it's inevitable that Tian Caixia has more concerns.
Wei Shanshan did not invest. She is Wei Yaozu's biological sister. If she had invested, many things would have been difficult to say. Wei Shanshan had lent some money to Tian Caixia, and that was enough.
After returning home from Su Xueqing's place, Su Yanan told her husband about Tian Caixia. She also felt that Tian Caixia and her mother-in-law were not doing things in a decent way.
"I think Caixia has other thoughts." Su Yanan said.
"Maybe it's because our small family has a lot of places to spend money." Tian Guohua said.
"Don't other people spend a lot of money?" Su Yanan said, "Everyone is polite to her. If they want to withdraw their investment, they can just withdraw it. She gave the money to others and they didn't bother with her. Her two brothers haven't withdrawn yet, but they will have to withdraw. If they don't withdraw, I doubt they will even be siblings in the future. It's better for her to borrow money from the beginning to open a cake shop like this. Why bother asking others to invest?"
"What did my younger sister say?" Tian Guohua asked.
"What else can I say? Just withdraw the investment and treat it as lending money to Caixia." Su Yanan said, "There's nothing wrong with my younger sister, but as for my third brother and his wife... I feel embarrassed to see them. Caixia obviously didn't have any money at the time, so she needed everyone's help, but now something like this has happened."
Su Yanan felt depressed when she thought about it. Tian Caixia's words were so nice at the beginning, and Su Yanan thought Tian Caixia was good, but now it has become like this. Su Xueqing did not say how wrong Tian Caixia was, but Su Yanan herself felt that Tian Caixia had a big problem.
If Tian Caixia was a little smarter, she should have persuaded her mother-in-law not to do those things.
"Caixia's aunt has helped her a lot. She rented the shop to her at such a low price, but she still wants to buy her aunt's shop at a low price." Su Yanan said, "What's going on?"
"Isn't it her mother-in-law?" Tian Guohua said.
"Her mother-in-law rushed in front, and she hid behind." Su Yanan said, "Caixia must have her own ideas. No one cares about the wasteland, and everyone is staring at it after it is reclaimed. Also, does Caixia really think that her skills are so good? If a company goes to them to order cakes, doesn't it still have a relationship with the Ning family?"
Su Yanan is not stupid. She doesn't think that the Ning family didn't do anything else. Once Tian Caixia's mother-in-law intervenes, I'm afraid the cake shop's business will be much worse. Tian Caixia's mother-in-law is so picky about Tian Caixia's relatives, let alone those customers.
"My younger sister didn't say much, and neither did I." Su Yanan said, "It's useless to say so much. Caixia thought she was Wenjun's cousin. Did Wenjun have to ask people to continue buying cakes from there? If the cakes made by Caixia are okay, Wenjun can continue to buy them. If they are not, Wenjun should order cakes from another place, and that's reasonable."
"Then you talk to Caixia." Tian Guohua said, "Doing business is not an easy thing. Others can do a lot of things even if they are not in the store or in the country."
Tian Guohua did not blindly stand on his daughter's side. It was a big problem for relatives to open a shop together and kick people out when they made money. Tian Guohua felt that his daughter's cake shop would not last long, and even if it did, the business would not be as good as it is now.
Tian Caixia had a quarrel with her mother-in-law, and that was all, there was no other time for that.
When Su Yanan went to the cake shop, Tian Caixia was busy in the cake shop. Su Yanan asked Tian Caixia what she was thinking, the cake shop made money, so everyone else had to leave.
"It wasn't my idea." Tian Caixia said, "It was my mother-in-law..."
"What did your mother-in-law mean? Did you ask her to tell Wenjun and the others?" Su Yanan said, "I see that you don't want them to continue investing."
"Of course I want to. With Wenjun here, our cake shop can get more orders." Tian Caixia said, "Mom, I'm a little worried that those orders will be gone. I originally thought that Wenjun would refuse, and I took this opportunity to say no to my mother-in-law."
"You don't dare to offend your mother-in-law, so you let others offend your mother-in-law, and then you become a good person?" Su Yanan understood, "Are you treating others as fools? What does Wenjun need from a cake shop? She has a big company to inherit. Your brain is only suitable for opening a small cake shop, not doing big things."
"I……"
"You didn't even discuss this with Wenjun, and you let her face your mother-in-law. Do you think Wenjun is a three-year-old child?" Su Yanan said, "She's working in the company now."
"Mom, what do you think we should do now?" Tian Caixia said.
"If you really don't want Wenjun to withdraw her investment, just say so directly. Wenjun has withdrawn her investment now, which means you agree." Su Yanan said, "At most, you will make less money in the future. Also, this is your aunt's shop, so tell your mother-in-law not to worry about it. How much is the rent of the surrounding shops, and how much is the price of selling the shop? Go and ask around, you won't let your aunt suffer such a big loss."
"I didn't mean that." Tian Caixia said.
"I think you have that intention." Su Yanan said, "Do you dare to say that your mother-in-law has not discussed it with you?"
"I refused." Tian Caixia said, "Mom, you know that she is my mother-in-law. I can't be with her all the time. How could I know that my mother-in-law is so disgusting?"
"You have your own thoughts," Su Yanan said. "That's normal. If you think about it, it's all possible. Your aunt can understand you, but you're going too far. If you want to continue to open a store here, then pay the rent. If you don't want to continue to open a store here, then find another store and open a store in another location."
"I understand." Tian Caixia said.
Su Yanan reached out and poked Tian Caixia on the forehead, "I know, I know, what did you do before?"
"Mom." Tian Caixia said.
"Don't let your mother-in-law interfere too much." Su Yanan said, "Doing business requires knowledge. Sometimes if you let the elderly in the family interfere too much, the business will not be able to continue."
Some old people take out expired items and continue to sell them, and even give people less quantity. If you do business like that, customers won't come.
"The cakes we make are mostly pre-cut or single-serve," Tian Caixia said. "My mother-in-law isn't always here."
"Don't let her come." Su Yanan said, "If you can't help, you will only make things worse."
Amelia Su and others didn't take these things to heart, they just reminded Su Yanan a little bit. Tian Caixia is Su Yanan's biological daughter, so it's impossible for Amelia Su not to say a word.
Ning Wenjun was not unhappy. She knew that many people were like that. When they made money, they wanted to keep the cakes for themselves. It was just a small cake shop. Ning Wenjun did not take it seriously. She wanted to make a big business.
After such an incident, Su Xueqing naturally felt sorry for her daughter. Tian Caixia was a relative from Su Xueqing's maternal side.
"Mom, our company is planning to hire a pastry chef." Ning Wenjun said to Amelia Su, "Over at the cafeteria, employees can have some cakes if they don't want to eat."
The food in the cafeteria is free, but everyone has their own limits. You can’t eat one portion in the cafeteria and take one portion away. Eating means eating in the cafeteria.
For afternoon tea, there is a tea room and a pastry chef can make and deliver it to you. That would be much more convenient, and it is better than always bringing it from outside. Things outside are a long way away, and pastries and other things are easy to be damaged by collisions. It is better to hire a pastry chef.
The Ning family's company is very big, and the cafeteria is also large. There are several chefs in the cafeteria. They used to cook and fry dishes, but now they can also make cakes and milk tea. Many young people like to eat those things. The company used to order from Tian Caixia's cake shop, but now Ning Wenjun doesn't plan to let the company order from Tian Caixia's cake shop.
If a company hires people directly, and then adds the cost of purchasing, it may not be more expensive. This is mainly because the company has many people. If there are fewer people, it is not cost-effective. If the company has many people, the cost is lower.
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "You decide."
"In this case, we won't have to order from cousin Caixia's cake shop." Ning Wenjun said.
"Then don't order it." Su Xueqing said, "Is the contract expired?"
"It's due in a month." Ning Wenjun said, "I plan to tell cousin Caixia in advance that I won't renew the contract when it expires."
"Then don't renew it." Su Xueqing said, "You can make the decision on this small matter yourself. The company is yours, and you are in charge."
"Mom, do you think I'm narrow-minded?" Ning Wenjun said.
"No." Su Xueqing said, "It's better to find the chef directly. I've been to such a big canteen. There are many people. If one company doesn't order, there are other companies."
"Yeah." Ning Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief. She was originally worried that her mother would be unhappy. She thought it was just a small thing and there was no need to worry about it. It was not a question of whether to worry about it or not, but someone in the company brought it up, saying that it would be better to hire someone to make it directly, so that they could eat fresher cakes in the cafeteria. For example, egg tarts would not be crispy if they were a little older.
Ning Wenjun felt that what those people said made sense. Some people knew that Ning Wenjun had shares in that cake shop, so they didn't dare to say it. But the document was finally placed in front of Ning Wenjun. Someone asked Ning Wenjun, and she naturally had to make a decision.
All kinds of problems happened to break out at this time. Ning Wenjun withdrew her investment not only because of Tian Caixia's mother-in-law, but also because of her own reasons. The cake shop has been running smoothly. Ning Wenjun's withdrawal at this time will not have much impact on the cake shop. If the cake shop loses a big order, it can find another big order. If not, then it will earn less.
Since no one else has shares, Tian Caixia has to make money on her own, and one person can still make a little more money.
"Are you afraid that mom will be unhappy?" Su Xueqing said, "Don't be afraid, you are the heir of the company, do what you should do, don't consider these relationships. If you think too much, you may not be able to get things done well."
"Yeah." Ning Wenjun nodded. She took her mother's hand and leaned on her shoulder. "Mom, you don't know. There are so many things to do in the company. I have to do projects and deal with other things. Some things are administrative, but I have to look at them too."
"If you don't understand something, ask your dad more." Su Xueqing said, "He knows. Mom doesn't know how to manage a company, so you still have to do these things by yourselves."
"Okay." Ning Wenjun said, "There are some things I still need to tell you."
"You can say it, don't be too hard." Su Xueqing said, "Talk about it, it can make you feel more relaxed."
"Of course it's easier with mom around," Ning Wenjun said.
"You can find a companion." Su Xueqing said.
"Speaking of finding a partner." Ning Wenjun looked at her mother, "I have to look for one carefully. If I look for someone like dad, I'm worried that he's too strong and that something might go wrong. Mom, you have a very gentle temper, but I have a bad temper. If two strong people collide and break up, it would be a sheer waste of time."
"Looking for a partner is not a waste of time. If it's not suitable, then move on to the next one." Su Xueqing said, "Many people are like this. They don't meet the right person the first time. Some people's previous few encounters were not good, and some people were very good, but just not suitable."
"It's really troublesome." Ning Wenjun said, "How about I go on a blind date? Or I can find a suitable one from my childhood sweethearts."
"Childhood sweetheart?" Su Xueqing was puzzled.
"He went to the same school as me and grew up together." Ning Wenjun said, "Didn't I go to the same school for elementary school, middle school and high school? I know quite a few people there."
"Don't force yourself." Su Xueqing said.
"Don't force it." Ning Wenjun said.
"Marriage is not a business." Su Xueqing said, "Marriage is a lifelong thing. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can divorce."
"Mom, I will definitely find a suitable son-in-law for you." Ning Wenjun said.
"You are so old now, and you should make many decisions on your own. But if you are looking for a partner, you still have to bring him/her home to have a look." Su Xueqing said, "You have to check it out privately and make sure it is clear. Don't think that this is prying into other people's privacy. If you don't know more, it will easily cause problems."
"We have to investigate, and we have to investigate thoroughly." Ning Wenjun said.
"Women's search for partners is different from men's search for partners. Women are more likely to suffer losses." Su Xueqing said, "I was with your father at the beginning, and I knew what your father's family background was like. I decided to marry him after meeting him."
At night, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were in the room. Su Xueqing talked about Ning Wenjun and she was worried about her daughter.
"My daughter is not a love-sick person. She would never bring anyone back home casually." Ning Yanjing said, "Don't worry too much. She has a lot of little thoughts in her mind."
