"It's really comfortable, especially the big balcony on the top floor, it's so convenient for drying clothes!"
"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to use such a beautiful ocean-view balcony to dry clothes?"
Peach smiled, then changed the subject and said to me, "By the way, there's something important I need to tell you. I had already found a bartending job in the bar district, but Ye Zhi added me on WeChat last night and asked me to be the manager and bartender at the Women's Flower Bar... You two have a pretty good relationship, so I wanted to ask for your opinion on this."
I was slightly surprised and asked, "What kind of treatment did she give you? I think it mainly depends on the treatment."
“There was no salary, but she said that all the profits from the bar, after deducting all costs, would be given to me.”
"That's great... It's like she invested 300,000 yuan in you for free... You don't bear any risk at all!"
What if we lose money?
"There has to be some pressure, right? I think this is a good idea. It's like having a ready-made bar handed to you. You don't have to worry about the decorations or the supply of goods!"
Peach seemed a bit conflicted, but I could understand. After all, she had no experience in doing business, let alone managing a bar, so it was normal for her to lack her own opinion on this matter.
Unexpectedly, Tie Nan chimed in, "I think we should forget about it... When Bai Lu was running this bar, she only made about 100,000 yuan a year, which is about the same as your salary as a bartender. But working at someone else's bar is so much easier. Managing a bar yourself is a whole lot of work. Besides, half of Bai Lu's business was done by her friends. Now that she's gone, her friends basically don't come to the bar anymore. We might really lose money!"
Peach really listens to Tie Nan. After thinking about it, she said to me, "Forget it... I'll just find a bar to work in peace."
I smiled helplessly and didn't try to persuade her, but I knew in my heart that there was another possibility regarding the "Women's Flower" bar. If Ye Zhi really took it seriously, even just throwing some resources into the bar would be much better than when Bai Lu was running it. It's just that Ye Zhi has never liked to make too many promises to others, so Tao Zi didn't realize this. And I couldn't make any promises for Ye Zhi, so Ye Zhi's good intentions had to be abandoned.
I then turned to Tie Nan and said, "It's settled that Taozi is going to work at the bar. What about you? What are you planning to do next?"
Tie Nan replied cluelessly, "I don't know." After thinking for a moment, he added, "I might find a smaller inn to continue doing this... This is the only thing I have some experience with, but I don't have enough money."
Take your time.
Tie Nan lit a cigarette, and after a moment of silence, asked me, "What have you been busy with lately?"
I replied truthfully, "I do have a money-making opportunity, but it's not finalized yet... I'll find another opportunity to talk to you about it later."
Tie Nan glanced at me and asked, "Still eyeing Jiulongju?"
"I guess so, but it's not as far-fetched as you think... Once I solve the current difficulties, I'll be halfway to making money."
The reason I didn't fully share my plan with Tie Nan was because there were still significant uncertainties regarding Cao Jinbo's situation. My personality dictates that I only share things when I feel confident; otherwise, if things fall apart halfway through, there's no point in revealing them.
Just as Tie Nan was about to ask a few more questions out of curiosity, my phone, which was charging, finally rang. It was Sun Jiwei calling.
