"You deserve it."
The bar owner glanced at me, knew he was in the wrong, and didn't dare to complain anymore.
I took a drag of my cigarette and then said, "How about this, we have a bar that's been sitting idle near Honglongjing, and we're short on drinks. You can use the drinks to pay Nicole's performance fee... I won't rip you off, I'll just give you the price you paid for the drinks."
"Great idea...that's a good idea. I do have a lot of unsold imported liquor here!"
"Hehe... Don't just try to sell us these old, outdated products, we also want the best-selling beer."
"That's right, that's right... As long as I can do my business peacefully during the New Year, you can bring me whatever wine you like."
I nodded and then said to Nicole, "Ye Zhi did take over a bar, but she's busy and can't manage it herself; before, she couldn't find a suitable person, so it's been closed... You deal with bars every day and can sing, so I don't think anyone is more suitable than you... From now on, you can help manage the bar, and this batch of drinks that we got from Boss Zhao will be considered your investment... What do you think?"
Nicole was clearly tempted, but then questioned, "With the amount of alcohol my salary covers, opening a bar is still a long way off, isn't it?"
I smiled and said, "I can invest."
After saying that, I turned to Cao Xue, who was standing idly to the side, and said, "Buddy, I've done the math. I can give you a 50,000 yuan share of the temporary inn at Jiulongju. After deducting the 10,000 yuan deposit, you'll still have 40,000 yuan left... If you're interested in the bar business, how about investing 20,000 yuan? The money will come from your share."
"Can it make money?"
"I guarantee you, you'll definitely make money... You've already spent this money, so why not find an investment channel? It's like buying a hen that lays eggs... Although you won't make a lot, it'll still be a stable income."
"Okay... anyway, it's free, I'll spend the money."
After Cao Xue finished speaking, I cast an inquiring glance at Ye Zhi. After all, the bar belonged to her, and this idea could only be realized after she gave her approval. My hope that Cao Xue would invest was also to ensure the safety of the bar. With Cao Xue's reputation, I believed that no one would dare to cause trouble in the bar.
Ye Zhi said to me, "Your idea is great, I support you."
“Okay, then the four of us here will be the shareholders of this bar… I’ll draft a cooperation agreement later, and we’ll determine the shareholding ratio based on the amount of investment… Nicole works the hardest, contributing manpower, so that should also be counted as a certain percentage of the shares.”
"Okay, you do it."
...
My idea was accepted by everyone, and I felt a sense of relief... Because of this decision, a happy situation was created for everyone, and Ye Zhi and I were able to cooperate in the business field. Although this was somewhat insignificant to Ye Zhi, it had extraordinary significance for me.
The same applies to Nicole; she became a bar owner herself, and finally she didn't have to be at the mercy of others.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of Peach, who can mix drinks. If she were here, it would be even more perfect; unfortunately, because of Tie Nan, we are drifting further and further apart...
I feel a little dazed. Compared to when I first came to Dali, the people around me and the things I'm doing have changed dramatically. I don't know if this is progress or regression... but I feel safer than before because I know what I'm doing and what I want.
However, I still miss Coach Ma and Bai Lu, who have left, as well as Yang Sisi.
I cherish even more the camaraderie we shared back then!
