Gao Yan originally planned to go to the research institute and the milk tea company in the afternoon.
However, considering that Zhuo Jiangyue was going back to Jiangzhu tomorrow, he decided to spend the afternoon with her and also buy some gifts for his future parents-in-law.
After having lunch and resting for a while, the two drove to the largest shopping mall in Nandu.
"Let's go check out this store!"
Gao Yan pulled Zhuo Jiangyue into the Valentino store.
"Honey, are you buying a suit?"
Zhuo Jiangyue asked curiously.
"It's not for me to buy, it's for my future father-in-law!" Gao said.
"Buy it for Dad!"
Zhuo Jiangyue frowned slightly, then whispered, "Honey, how about we go to another store? I heard the clothes in this store are very expensive!"
Because of the many low-end knock-offs that have appeared, many people think that Valentino is a rather tacky brand. But in reality, it is a high-end brand and a global haute couture brand.
"It's okay, no need to save me money!"
"No, honey, my dad is a government official. Wearing such expensive clothes would easily attract criticism!" Zhuo Jiangyue explained. "Now it's the era of social media. If someone accidentally takes a picture and posts it online, it will be revealed that you, a district head at the level of a division chief, are wearing an expensive suit worth tens of thousands of yuan."
Even if one is upright and honest and has not embezzled, it can still have a negative impact on oneself.
After hearing what Zhuo Jiangyue said, Gao Yan also realized what was going on.
"Okay, let's buy something cheap then!"
Gao Yan had originally planned to buy his father-in-law a watch worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but now it seems that even if he did, his father-in-law wouldn't dare to wear it.
After thinking about it for a while.
Gao Yan decided to give his father-in-law a suit worth several thousand yuan, as well as two bottles of medicinal wine, one to improve his physical condition and the other to nourish his kidneys.
However, the mother-in-law herself is a senior executive of a large company.
There's no need to be so particular about her attire.
However, you have to be fair to both sides. You can't give your mother-in-law an expensive gift while giving your father-in-law something casual.
So, on Zhuo Jiangyue's advice, he picked out a silk scarf worth several thousand yuan and a bottle of perfume worth over five thousand yuan for his mother-in-law, along with two bottles of medicinal wine to enhance her health.
After buying gifts for his parents-in-law, they realized they still had some time, so they put the shopping bags in their car in the underground parking garage and then watched a movie in the mall!
That night.
Gao Yan brought up the system interface.
View today's profit data directly.
This data is terrible.
His current profits come solely from his milk tea shop and live-streaming guild.
Today, the milk tea shop's profit is around 60,000 yuan. Even with the system's tenfold return, it only amounts to 600,000 yuan.
The live streaming guild made a profit of over 100,000 yuan, and the return was only a little over 1 million yuan.
Compared to the returns before the system upgrade, this income is less than what the top earner could make.
The next morning.
After having breakfast with Zhuo Jiangyue, Gao Yan drove her to the airport.
"Honey, I can't bear to part with you!"
Before going through security, Zhuo Jiangyue suddenly turned around and hugged Gao Yan, her face full of reluctance.
“My darling, I’ll miss you too, but don’t worry, we’ll see each other again in twenty days at most!” Gao Yan comforted her softly.
"But they just can't bear to part with it."
Xiao Zhu's eyes were brimming with tears.
"How about this, I'll come see you in Jiangzhu after I'm done with my business here!" That was Gao Yan's original plan, he just wanted to give Xiao Zhu a surprise, but seeing her like this now, he had no choice but to tell her in advance.
"real?"
When have I ever lied to you?
"You absolutely have to come!"
"I'll definitely come!"
After watching Xiao Zhuo successfully pass through security, Gao Yan's gaze fell on a woman behind the security checkpoint, and he gave her a subtle nod.
This woman is Qian Lan, one of the bio-human bodyguards he selected. She has now officially taken up her post and is secretly protecting Xiao Zhuo.
With a master of internal energy secretly protecting him, it would be difficult for Xiao Zhuo to have any accidents!
Xiao Zhu, who had successfully passed through security, waved goodbye to him again before pulling her suitcase toward the boarding gate.
Yang Yujiang, who had just finished the morning meeting, returned to his office and asked his secretary to make him a strong cup of coffee and bring it in.
He became increasingly agitated as he got closer.
With the rise of Brothers Hot Pot, the business of his other hot pot restaurants has been greatly affected, especially after Brothers Hot Pot opened two new stores in August.
This resulted in a 30% drop in revenue for the Yang family's hot pot restaurant, Nandu branch.
Moreover, he also learned that the Cheng family already had plans to open Brothers Hot Pot restaurants all over Yangdong Province.
Once their plan is successfully implemented.
His hot pot restaurant would be packed to the brim; forget about going public, it would be a miracle if it didn't go bankrupt.
Therefore, he must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the day when the brothers' hot pot restaurants are all over Yangdong Province will be the day when their Yang family's hot pot chain goes bankrupt.
He also knew that the core of Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant lay in its secret hot pot broth recipe.
The thought of that kid named Gao Yan once planning to sell the secret recipe for hot pot base to the Yang family made him feel uncomfortable, and he also felt more resentful towards his daughter Yang Yue.
He knew he couldn't blame his daughter; after all, even he wouldn't readily accept a sales pitch from a complete stranger.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Yang Yujiang slammed his hand on the desk. He wanted to try again to see if he could get his hands on that hot pot base.
The Cheng family must be extremely wary of hot pot broth.
