The look in Meng Sheng's eyes changed from surprise to surprise. "This is good news. Congratulations, mom. We will have two stores soon. How is the progress now? Do you have a plan? How about the location?"
"The business plan is simple. It just needs to be based on the size and business model of the main store. It's not a difficult task."
Yu Qionghua stood up and poured her a glass of warm water, sighing, "It's about the location. We haven't chosen a suitable one yet. Your family is in the north of the city, and you've lived there since you were a child, so you should know something about it."
Hearing her words, Meng Sheng's heart began to alarm.
Do you want her to be the middleman?
She thought about it seriously and shook her head. "You know, my father and brother are often not at home. I only see them a few times a year. There have been a lot of changes in recent years, and I don't know much about the situation in the north of the city."
She said this truthfully. His father, Meng Chengli, was a professor in the history department of Haicheng University. He would only come back for a few days during the summer vacation and the Chinese New Year.
As for her brother Meng Shixu, he went home even less often.
After graduating from the China Foreign Affairs University, he joined the Information Department. In the first half of last year, he was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming the youngest minister in the history of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is currently serving as deputy director of the Danish Embassy.
She hadn't seen him for over a year.
Neither of them is usually at home, so it's understandable that she doesn't go back to the north of the city.
Yu Qionghua glanced at Meng Sheng and smiled slowly, "That's right. Look how confused I am. It's not a big deal. I can slowly figure out the store. The Yueqifang store was opened thanks to your three million. You are definitely a great contributor to its current status."
Meng Sheng heard the foreshadowing in her words.
She had heard Yu Qionghua praise herself many times, in front of her and to outsiders, always praising her to a very high level.
As the second wife of a businessman, how could she not even come up with three million?
Even if she couldn't make ends meet at that time, as long as she asked, Shang Yizheng would give it to her even if Guan Rong was unwilling.
She didn't even want to recall how naive and stupid she was back then.
They say that smiles hide knives and cotton hides needles.
She saw the embodiment of this in Yu Qionghua.
She glanced at Yu Qionghua, a trace of sadness flashing across her gentle eyes.
Once upon a time, she regarded her as her own mother, and even felt that she was extremely lucky that her husband was so considerate and loving to her, and even her mother-in-law doted on her and loved her so much.
But these two things have now completely destroyed the happiness and beauty she thought she had.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just borrowed three million from you back then. Now that I have become a shareholder of Yueqi Textile, I am embarrassed to receive millions of dividends in half a year."
Yuan Siying, who was drinking tea, felt a stir in her heart when she heard this.
Millions in just half a year.
Is my aunt’s beauty salon so profitable?
Can she get a share of the pie from that branch?
She subconsciously glanced at Yu Qionghua, then at Meng Sheng, licked her lips, and her mind became more active.
Yu Qionghua deliberately frowned, "If I don't share this money with you, I have to share it with others. Not all of mine belongs to you and Bo Yu. Besides, you have another baby in your belly... How about this, when the new store opens, I will give 15% of the shares to my grandson..."
Meng Sheng's heart began to flutter.
Yu Qionghua really wanted to drag her into this.
But what is her purpose in doing this?
What good would it do her to drag her into this?
Meng Sheng interrupted her, "Mom, please don't... I can't bear this. It's said that no reward is accepted without merit. I feel embarrassed to take the dividends from the head office, so how can I ask for the dividends from the branch?!"
"It's not for you, it's for my grandson. Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Qionghua glanced at her unhappily, but with a smile on her face, "It's settled. Once the address is chosen, we'll just draw up a contract."
"Mom, it will take at least eight months for the baby to be born. It hasn't even taken shape yet. Fifteen percent of the shares is a lot. The baby will be under pressure..."
Meng Sheng is not a superstitious person, but this is what children all know.
If you are small, you can't carry things that are too heavy.
Even the name can't be too big, otherwise the child will not grow up easily.
Yu Qionghua hesitated when she heard this. At her age, she naturally knew about this saying among the people.
After all, they are her own grandchildren. As a grandmother, how can she not feel heartbroken?
In that case, there is no need to rush.
The same will apply when the child is born and the shares are transferred to Meng Sheng's name.
She smiled and said, "That's right. The child is still young, so it's not too late to wait until the baby is born."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Siying smiled in surprise and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
Meng Sheng met her kind and gentle eyes and nodded, "Yes, more than a month."
Yuan Siying smiled softly and said something that sounded particularly beautiful. "Congratulations to you and my cousin, you're going to be parents. No wonder my aunt has a rosy complexion and is so happy these days. It turns out that she's in high spirits because of good things happening to her. She's going to be a grandmother."
"You're such a sweet talker." Yu Qionghua poked her forehead with a smile.
Meng Sheng glanced at Yuan Siying with a smile on her face. Was it her own wish or Yu Qionghua's persuasion that led her to join the underground socialite training class?
After a few seconds of silence, she slowly spoke, "Xiaoying seems to be much more outgoing and talkative now."
Hearing this, Yuan Siying lowered her eyes introvertedly and whispered, "It's also because in front of my family..."
Yu Qionghua took over the conversation, "You should also be open and frank in front of outsiders."
"Okay, I understand, aunt." Yuan Siying responded with a smile.
Meng Sheng had lunch with Yu Qionghua and Yuan Siying at noon, and returned to the art museum in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the office, his cell phone suddenly rang with a text message alert.
[The final location of the Yueqifang branch will be a five-story commercial building at No. 164 Binhe Street in the north of the city. The property owner is Lou Shumin. 】
Lou Shumin?
Meng Sheng shuddered when he saw this name.
The surname Lou is not common in Beijing.
She only knew of one.
The eldest lady of the Xu family, her aunt happened to be called Lou Shumin.
Did Yu Qionghua know this when she chose this commercial building, or was it an unintentional decision?
To be honest, she didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Could it be that Yu Qionghua wants to drag her uncle's family into this?
The Xu family is an indispensable presence among the wealthy families in Beijing, and is also a leader in the development of real estate and resources.
Shang Boyu was able to take over the construction company because of the existence of Xu’s company.
At present, his company has at least three or four major projects that are related to Xu.
As the nephew's husband, Meng Sheng's uncle Xu Fengyun and cousin Xu Jinmin are willing to give more advice.
It is also because of this that the construction company he runs has no worries about projects and everything goes smoothly.
Now, Yu Qionghua is using her long and smelly foot binding to disgust her aunt?
How dare she, and how could she do it?
Meng Sheng clenched her fist, turned and left the office, and took the elevator down again. The driver hadn't left yet, so she got back on and said, "Let's go to Xu's house in the north of the city."
The driver was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and started the car.
