In the coffee shop opposite Tunghai University, Chen Zhe sat by the window, drinking a cup of coffee.
He watched the figure walking towards him.
Wu Qingli was wearing a teacher's uniform today, giving her a somewhat office lady vibe. She was tall and slender, with a defined waist, legs, and hips, and her graceful sway was truly remarkable.
Chen Zhe couldn't help but recall the scene of their passionate encounter at the hotel a few days ago. This woman appeared aloof, but she was a completely different person in private.
Compared to this woman, Xu Weiwei is really much worse.
Tian Dongqiang is a clueless person. He was quite angry with himself just now, and he was also very concerned about being cheated on.
What would his expression be if he knew that he and his wife had such a relationship?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, thinking about it this way, it's not such a bad thing. You lost a superficial woman and met such a high-quality one. Wouldn't you call that turning misfortune into blessing?"
Wu Qingli walked over with her small bag and sat down very elegantly opposite Chen Zhe.
"I thought you wouldn't contact me. Didn't you say you'd impress me the next time we met? It's only been a few days! What? Did you win the lottery? Become a millionaire?"
The sudden teasing made Chen Zhe a little embarrassed.
This female professor also has a sharp tongue.
"Ahem, stop joking with me. I called you over because I have something to tell you."
"Then you tell me!"
"There are two things. I went to your house just now and saw Tian Dongqiang and Xu Weiwei. I reckon they're making love in your house right now..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingli's expression changed, and her brows furrowed.
"He dared to cheat on his wife in her own home! Tian Dongqiang, that bastard!!!"
Wu Qingli slammed her hand on the table.
Chen Zhe's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that Wu Qingli wasn't indifferent to everything; at least she cared about this. Increasing her hatred for Tian Dongqiang would be the best outcome.
"Anything else?"
Wu Qingli suppressed her anger and asked.
"Also, I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
Chen Zhe explained his situation.
Wu Qingli hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone and made a call without saying anything.
He hung up the phone a few minutes later.
“I’ve contacted my classmate for you. He’s a lawyer and very experienced in this area, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say that.
"Thanks!"
"No need. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
Do you want to go home and catch your partner in the act?
"Hmph! I'm too lazy to do something like that. I have my own plans. As for the specifics, I won't tell you now. That's all for now. We'll talk again later if anything comes up!"
Wu Qingli stood up, picked up her bag, and left.
Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her departing figure, then looked at the phone number she had left behind.
He called.
The person on the other end of the line, upon hearing that he was introduced by Wu Qingli, was very enthusiastic and then began to analyze things with him.
When I got back to the store, I noticed that their sliding shutter door was dented.
Chen Zhe called Wang De out of concern.
"It's nothing. They came over and made a fuss again just now, but I didn't open the door, and then they left."
"That's good!"
After opening the door and going inside, the two of them spoke with the lawyer introduced by Wu Qingli. The lawyer was very patient and his words were very insightful.
This gave them a sense of hope.
The weight that had been pressing on my heart has finally been lifted.
...
In the afternoon, Chen Zhe received a call from Hu Ling.
"You contacted me this morning, was there something you needed?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Hu, I did have something to do this morning, but it's all resolved now."
"Hmm? Oh, that's good. So, how about it? Have you thought through the suggestion I gave you before?"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhe still refused.
Hu Ling was somewhat disappointed; "This is a great opportunity for you, don't you understand?"
"I know, Sister Hu, but I can't betray Brother Wang, so I have to decline your invitation."
"Hehe, you're still young. If you take this kind of thing too seriously, it will be difficult for you to succeed in the future."
"Maybe, but I don't want to be a faithless person. Brother Wang found the right direction for me. If I leave him like this, does Sister Hu think I can be trusted?"
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment; "How about this, you invite him over tonight, and I'll talk to him."
"this……"
"Don't worry, it's just normal business negotiations. If he's willing, that's great. If not, I respect your decision."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Hu."
"Okay, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else!"
Hu Ling hung up the phone.
...
At 9 p.m., in Hu Ling's office on the third floor of the bar.
Hu Ling took out a schedule.
"Take a look first. I've had someone make a simple plan. Share your thoughts."
Wang De and Chen Zhe looked at it carefully, then exchanged a surprised glance.
“I’ve seen your shop. If you continue operating in the current way, you can make a living, but you won’t make any money. Your target customers are too low-end, and their spending will never pick up. No matter how luxurious you decorate, it won’t matter in that location. The surrounding environment determines everything. Besides, I’ve also heard that you two don’t have any connections at all, so you can’t attract any high-end customers to come and spend money.”
Chen Zhe and Wang De lowered their heads slightly; they were both aware of this.
"For those of us in the service industry, the first thing we need to do is target our customers. Your current customer base consists of low-spending drivers and middle-aged and elderly people who just want to save money. You don't have any core competitiveness. Plus, you have so few employees, just three people including Chen Ze. After deducting all other expenses, how much money can you make in a month?"
"this……"
After carefully calculating the costs and benefits, Wang De lowered his head. Not only had he not made any money, but he might also have worked for nothing.
"You've already seen my plan. Opening a traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy clinic in that location isn't very useful. There aren't any upscale residential areas around, and the people living there rarely pay enough attention to their health. What I'm suggesting is this: convert your TCM physiotherapy clinic into a foot massage parlor. As for the technicians, I can help you assign some over there. There are so many migrant workers coming and going in your area, including long-distance drivers and taxi drivers who often work night shifts. These kinds of people like to go for massages..."
The two nodded. Hu Ling truly lived up to her reputation as a leader in the industry; her words were always to the point.
"At the beginning of next month, there might be a construction site next door, which will bring in more customers. The people who work on the construction site especially like to go to foot massage parlors. In their words, foot massage is also a way, and the techniques are also a method. So the so-called way and method are naturally right, right?"
Wang De and Chen Zhe exchanged an embarrassed smile.
[Of course!]
“Traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy clinics won’t work, but foot massage parlors will, and they’re willing to spend money on that. Wang De, you don’t need to work as a receptionist anymore; your image doesn’t fit. If you agree, you can take the shares, and I’ll handle the rest!”
Wang De nodded.
"Sister Hu! I'll do whatever you say!"
He knew he wasn't cut out for being a receptionist; the customers who came for massages probably wouldn't want to talk to him much after seeing him.
The receptionist must be a beautiful woman; that's in line with the positioning.
"As for Chen Zhe... we've already discussed this before. You'll work for me, and your salary will be the same as what we discussed before. You'll still retain your shares there. Is that alright?"
Chen Zhe was overjoyed when he heard about this arrangement.
With Hu Ling as their backer, their situation couldn't be more secure.
"Okay, Sister Hu, I'll work with you!"
Hu Ling frowned; "Watch your words, don't talk like that again!"
