Chapter 137 Taking over Shenghua Building
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Ning led Dahei onto the van, passed customs inspection, and left the port.
Qiao Junxian usually drives his black Mercedes-Benz, which is called a Mercedes-Benz in Hong Kong. Yue Ning stuffed Dahei into the back seat and wanted to go to the front passenger seat. Dahei scratched the car window with his feet. Yue Ning was afraid that it would tear the leather interior, so he quickly opened the car door and accompanied it.
Qiao Junxian looked at the person and dog in the back seat through the rearview mirror and felt a little regretful. Why did he help her bring the dog over?
"Ningning."
Yue Ning, who was stroking the dog's head, looked up. Qiao Junxian said, "The people in the factory are just talking nonsense."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you already arranged the year-end party?" Yue Ning was a little surprised.
"It's not this, the year-end party. I was also worried about it. I originally planned to hold it in Hong'an and find a small banquet hall. You were so busy at the end of the year that I didn't want to look for you." Qiao Junxian said.
Yue Ning looked up at him and said, "I'm in charge of this business. Don't you want to discuss it with me?"
"No! I just..."
"You don't see things as clearly as Axiang and the others. Isn't it a waste if the boss lady doesn't use it?" Yue Ning said.
Hearing her admitting that she was the "boss's wife" herself, Qiao Junxian had thought that she might be unhappy in her heart, even though she didn't show it on her face. He didn't expect that she would admit it so naturally.
"You don't mind?" Qiao Junxian asked.
Yue Ning was a little surprised: "What do you mind?"
"They call you 'boss lady'."
Yue Ning leaned forward and looked at his face: "Qiao Junxian, it's fine if you're smiling in your heart, but you're smiling like this on your face. And you're asking me if I mind?"
"Am I just worried that you'd be angry?"
"Don't be angry, it's a matter of time. I just suffered a little loss. People in Ningyan still call you 'Second Young Master' instead of 'Boss'."
"Then you can ask them to change it." Qiao Junxian said.
"You really want to!" Yue Ning laughed, "No way."
Qiao Junxian sent Yue Ning home. It was already evening. Yue Ning wanted to keep him for dinner, but Qiao Junxian said a little embarrassedly, "I'm going to the gym today."
"Then go ahead!" Yue Ning took Dahei out of the car.
She led the dog to the entrance of her building, and the Samoyed named "Maomao" who lived on the same building came downstairs, jumping out.
Maomao is very lively and talkative. When he sees other dogs, he will bark a few times, and Dahei is no exception.
When Dahei was barked at by such a dog, his whole body immediately tensed up. His big watery eyes flashed with ferocity, his teeth were bared, and he made a low "Woo..." sound.
In a flash, Maomao was so frightened that he took two steps back and hid behind his owner. What a smart dog that knows how to judge the situation.
Yue Ning touched the big black head and greeted Maomao's owner: "Take Maomao out!"
Maomao's owner was also frightened by Dahei just now. He had never seen a dog that was so scary. But in the blink of an eye, the dog became docile again.
"This is……"
"When I was in the northwest, the sheepdog that shepherded with me was called 'Dahei'. I just picked it up here."
"Is that the dog that drove away the wolves with you?"
"Yes." Yue Ning looked down at his own dog, "It's very well behaved."
Maomao poked his head out from behind his owner. Under Yue Ning's comfort, Dahei probably knew that the naive boy in front of him was not dangerous, so he wagged his tail.
Maomao took two steps, then two more steps, and came to Dahei and smelled Dahei's scent.
Maomao...it wants to do something unspeakable.
This annoyed Dahei, and he opened his mouth to bite. Fortunately, Yue Ning pulled it in time.
Maomao shrank back in fear again.
Maomao's owner reached out and hit Maomao on the head: "I told you you have no brains, don't you see who it is?"
Yue Ning smiled and said, "Goodbye Maomao!"
Maomao is no longer lively now.
Dahei followed Yue Ning into the corridor and got on the elevator. Perhaps he was not used to this space, so he looked up at Yue Ning.
Yue Ning touched its head to comfort it.
When he opened the door, Yue Ning had already prepared a doghouse for it.
Dahei is a sheepdog. It is a registered dog with dog food provided by the government. Uncle Agen is also dedicated and has done a good job in deworming and epidemic prevention. It's just that there is a year-round water shortage in the northwest, so it doesn't usually take a bath. I will help it clean it thoroughly.
Yue Ning took dog shampoo and a brush, led Dahei into the bathroom, and gave him a bath under the shower.
"Dahei, how much have you eaten recently? Why have you gained so much weight?"
Dahei looked at her with his pair of black eyes, probably because he saw her being splashed by shampoo, so he stuck out his tongue to lick her face. The shampoo was bitter, so he stuck out his tongue.
Yue Ning used the shower head to spray it. Dahei wanted to run away, but Yue Ning hugged it and wouldn't let it go.
I finally washed the big dog clean and then blow-dried its fur.
Dahei was finally free and went into the living room. Yue Ning was soaking wet, so she cleaned the bathroom and took a shower.
She came out and fed Dahei a handful of dog food. She answered the phone and heard a message from Yang Zhijie: "Ningning, the noodle shop will open the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to go and have a look tomorrow?"
The second one is from Cai Zhiyuan: "Call me back when you have time."
Yue Ning called Ning Yan first. The call was answered by a girl from Ning Xiaochu's project team. This girl was Yang Zhijie's classmate. She said, "Miss Yue, Ajie is discussing the opening of the business with Sister Sophie."
"It's okay. Tomorrow is Saturday. You don't have classes in the afternoon, right? He and I will go and see it at 2 pm."
"OK."
Yue Ning slowly cooked the noodles, brought them out, turned on the TV, and called Cai Zhiyuan's home. He should be entertaining people at this time, right? Leave him a message!
"Hello!"
Cai Zhiyuan answered the phone? Yue Ning asked, "You didn't go out to have fun?"
"What are you talking about? It makes me feel like I'm out all day..."
He denied it flatly, but Yue Ning could tell something was wrong with his voice, so she asked, "What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
"Yeah. I've been having the flu lately." Cai Zhiyuan said, "I have something serious to tell you. The next episode will be the last season's chef king. Li Xinrong's apprentice will be on stage. Can you help me think about whether you can come up with a hot topic? Your first two episodes were very popular, but these two games were mediocre, and the audience has already left."
The first and second episodes of the preliminary round of "The MasterChef Contest" are very eye-catching, but these two episodes are just average.
"Brother, this is the preliminary round. You want to blast in every game now, but what are you going to show people in the end?" Yue Ning said while eating noodles.
"That being said, the audience's support is very high." Cai Zhiyuan exhaled, "Forget it."
"Okay! I'll call Uncle Rong and ask if they need help."
"Thank you!" said Cai Zhiyuan.
Yue Ning hung up the phone and saw the news about the Zhang family on TV, which had been fermenting for a whole day.
Previously, Zhang Ankang's family had always been active in front of the screen, but now all five members of the Zhang family have kept silent and refused to be interviewed.
From the perspective of the stock market, Tianxiang Jewelry's share price soared today, mainly because the dust has settled. Tianxiang Jewelry will be in Zhang Anle's hands in the future, and the market has confidence in Zhang Anle's management.
After the news ended, Yue Ning and Dahei watched TV together in the living room.
The next interview program was also about the analysis of this incident. Fu Danqin used her real name again and was said to be: This is the first time in Hong Kong that a living person divorced a dead person.
The TV station invited a professor of Chinese history from the Chinese University of Hong Kong to analyze the matter.
The professor said: "In a general sense, female widowhood is a moral constraint on women. In fact, there are also property considerations. We can see that in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Ruzhou carefully planned to marry Li Qingzhao in order to get the collection left by Zhao Mingcheng. But in the Ming Dynasty, the law changed. The "Da Ming Hui Dian" (Volume 19) states: "For those who remarry, the husband's family property and original dowry will be subject to the previous husband's family." In other words, when a widow remarries, not only her husband's family, but also her dowry, will become the property of her husband's family. This was a way for ancient feudal society to protect the interests of men. This formed an inherent concept that a widow's money was assumed to belong to her husband's family. But society is changing. In the late Qing Dynasty, the "Da Qing Law"..."
The professor on TV explained the changes in women's inheritance rights, the improvement of women's status, and the legal protection of women's property. The professor concluded by saying, "In fact, with the development of Hong Kong today, there are still people who point fingers at a woman who made her fortune with her own hands and how she distributes her own property. Some even think that she should give the property to a concubine to have children with. This forced such a successful woman to announce her divorce from her late husband. This is really feudal to the point of being ridiculous."
There was a sound outside the door, Dahei stood up, the door was pushed open, and Yue Baohua walked in.
Dahei had only seen Yue Baohua in the northwest. He recognized him carefully and ran over with his tail wagging. Yue Baohua squatted down and reached out to scratch his chin.
Dahei raised his head and licked Yue Baohua's face with his tongue.
Yue Baohua stroked its dog's head and said to his granddaughter, "Ningning, the landlord of Shenghua Building came to me today. He has sorted out the disputes with Zhang Lili and Ding Shengqiang, and he lost more than half a year's rent in the end. These days, he has been trying to find a tenant, but if Shenghua Building is rented as a whole, there are not many families who can afford it. If it is rented separately again, it is estimated that there will be no hope before the end of the year. He came to ask me if I want it? I went inside to take a look. They have actually been open for more than a year, and the decoration inside is still very new, but a few pieces of glass outside are broken, and there are some marks on the walls inside. They can be repaired. I said I would come back to discuss it with you, do you think you want it?"
"Yes." Yue Ning said, "Yuecheng told me that there are about 30 candidate chefs. Now we have successively accepted 25 chefs from the mainland. For now, Ning Yan and Baohualou are enough, so I don't want any more. Next year I plan to open another Ning Yan in Central or Causeway Bay. Similarly, Baohualou will also be opened in Hong Kong Island. By then, there will not be enough people to be transferred there. Now Uncle Song and his team are on duty in shifts to cultivate their management ability. It seems that Uncle Song is now capable of leading a team alone. Shenghualou is just across the street, and we can just watch and guide both sides. Ning Xiaochu Noodle House will open stores faster, and the demand for roast meat and brine will also increase."
Ning Xiaochu has only one store now and is not able to build a central kitchen, so the roast meat and marinade rely on Baohualou. Baohualou delivers the air-dried roast meat to Ning Xiaochu every day, and Ning Xiaochu bakes and sells them on the spot.
After the two of them had discussed, Yue Ning called Li Xinrong and asked him if he needed help. Li Xinrong was also worried about his apprentice. This year, his junior apprentice was too strong, and there was another opponent that they didn't understand at all.
However, he was familiar with their opponent in this match, so it was nothing for now. He said, "I'm not afraid of this match, I'm worried about the next one, when I meet that Lu Peide."
"Uncle, as long as there are memorable points, it doesn't matter if we are eliminated. You see, Chunfenglou is not affected, right? This time, let me think of a new dish?"
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Hui."
"We are all family, why are you being polite?"
