Liu Ruonan tilted her head and thought for a while, then responded to Fulu:
"I lost, so I'll give you my best business shop!"
"How can business be good in this location? It's not worth anything!" Fulu didn't care about her shop. They had many shops, and which one was not more upscale than theirs.
"But this is all I have!"
"Okay then! I agree reluctantly." Fulu patted his chest, exuding the magnanimous air of a man.
"Then tell me what to do if you lose?" Liu Ruonan said. The determination in her eyes seemed to declare her confidence.
Fulu hesitated for a moment. How could this girl always be so confident? Could she have some inside information? Impossible. If there was any inside information in this city, who could be more informed than his grandfather?
Thinking of this, Fulu smiled with relief.
"Just tell me! I'll give you whatever you want!"
Liu Ruonan turned to look at Zhuang Sheng and asked delicately, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, tell me, what do we want?"
It was the first time that Zhuang Sheng saw Liu Ruonan acting like a spoiled child. Her pair of eyes were so charming that they seemed to be able to speak. Zhuang Sheng's heart suddenly jumped, and he liked Liu Ruonan so much.
"It's up to you!" Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan lovingly, as if there was no one else in this world who could catch his eye except Liu Ruonan.
"Well! I haven't thought about it yet, but the bet is there. If you lose, I will decide based on the circumstances." Liu Ruonan said mischievously to Fulu.
"Is there such a thing?" Fulu frowned and looked at Liu Ruonan. He had never seen such a naughty little girl.
"Will you agree or not?" Liu Ruonan asked.
"Agree, why not? I won't lose anyway! Hahaha!" In the end, Fulu laughed heartily twice in a very unconfident manner, as if to ease his embarrassment.
Fulu secretly wiped his sweat. This little girl's self-confidence was overflowing! She always gave people a sense of oppression, as if anyone who made a bet with her would definitely lose.
After some playing around, Fulu took everyone out for Western food after consulting Gao Shanshan.
But unexpectedly, Gao Shanshan was very excited when she came, thinking that she would finally eat what foreigners eat. But after eating, she found that she didn't like the taste.
She didn't like either pizza or steak. She also hated the knives and forks; they couldn't cut the steak. They were nowhere near as good as our Chinese chopsticks. And the fruit salad—it was clearly delicious fresh fruit, but with some kind of béarnaise sauce, it completely changed the flavor. It tasted like a salad, and she didn't like it either.
Seeing Gao Shanshan's disappointed look, Fulu teased, "Why, it's not to your liking?"
"These things all taste weird. How can they compare to our Chinese food?" Gao Shanshan couldn't help but sigh. They say you shouldn't forget your roots! She was born and raised in China, and she's been accustomed to Chinese food since she was a child.
Chen Lei is okay, he can usually eat anything.
Finally, after everyone had their fill, they took Gao Shanshan to buy some of her favorite foods. Most of them were local specialties, and Gao Shanshan ate them to her heart's content, her belly plump.
"By the way, Ruonan. What kind of business are you planning? My dad personally told me before I came here that if you have any good projects, let me help you contact Uncle Jin. Uncle Jin is a well-known big shot in Guangdong, and he has some involvement in various industries. You can't go wrong with him."
Liu Ruonan had originally thought about finding an opportunity to call that Guangdong boss, Jin. After much hesitation, she hadn't decided how to approach the conversation, after all, they had never even met.
In reality, Liu Ruonan had other concerns. After all, they had only spoken on the phone and had never met in person. Although Fu Yunbin had introduced them, there was no guarantee that someone with bad intentions would interfere. It would be bad if she got cheated.
Now, with Fulu as the middleman, it would be quite good. I heard that Boss Jin is a family friend of the Fu family, so with Fulu as the middleman, it would be much safer.
It’s not that Liu Ruonan is petty, she just doesn’t have much money left and every penny must be spent wisely.
"Brother Zhuang Sheng, are you in a hurry to go back?" Liu Ruonan turned and looked at Zhuang Sheng and asked.
"I just got back to the army yesterday, nothing serious happened." Zhuang Sheng responded, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Okay, then why don't we go back to the hotel and discuss this properly?" Liu Ruonan suggested. What should she say? The business she wanted to start might involve a lot of things, the latest products of this era, but few people were doing it. So, she also wanted to be the first to break the ice.
That's how business works: you have to seize opportunities before others notice them. It might be difficult at first, and you might not be popular, but once you've established sales, things will definitely get better and better.
Liu Ruonan is still confident about this.
"Okay! Let's go back to the hotel and discuss it." Fulu also agreed. Because of the bet, Fulu didn't force Liu Ruonan to move out.
Now that everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they were in high spirits. Liu Ruonan and Gao Shanshan sat on one bed, while Zhuang Sheng, Fulu, and Chen Lei sat on another. They all faced each other, looking as serious as if they were having a meeting.
"Actually, I want to open a video store." Liu Ruonan went straight to the point and expressed her idea.
"What is a video store?" Chen Lei asked curiously. He had never heard of such a thing.
Zhuang Sheng also looked at Liu Ruonan with a puzzled expression. This girl had never left the village since she was a child. The people in the village only knew about household appliances like televisions and refrigerators. How could they know about audio and video stores? However, Liu Ruonan seemed to know more than the people in the village.
And where did she learn her medical skills? I remember she said she picked up a book on Chinese medicine when she was little and learned it by reading it often. Where can someone be so gifted? Self-taught is one thing, but her medical skills are truly expert.
Zhuang Sheng suddenly felt that his wife seemed to be hiding many secrets that he didn't know. Moreover, Zhuang Sheng also felt that Liu Ruonan had no intention of telling him this secret.
However, the more mysterious Liu Ruonan became, the more curious Zhuang Sheng became. The more curious he became, the stronger his feelings for her became.
"Well, the scope of a video store is quite broad, right? They include tape recorders, cassette tapes, video recorders, and even Walkmans! All of that stuff is included."
Liu Ruonan explained patiently to Chen Lei.
Chen Lei nodded, not quite understanding. He knew about the tape recorder; when Liu Ruonan got married, she had included a radio in her betrothal gifts. But the trouble was, while he had the radio, he didn't have any tapes, so the tape recorder had been sitting there forever, never listened to.
