After Yang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Huo Beixiao slammed on the brakes and pulled the car to the side of the road with a screech.
A pair of large hands suddenly cupped Yang Qiaoqiao's face and gave her a big kiss. "Wife, why didn't I think of giving her a discount first!"
"Wife, you're so smart, you're truly my lucky star!"
As Huo Beixiao spoke, he kissed Yang Qiaoqiao's face several more times.
Cars were a rarity in those days, and everyone who passed by wanted to take a look.
Huo Beixiao even parked here to do this kind of thing.
In just a short while, several people walked by outside, glancing curiously at the car, but upon seeing their actions, they all walked away with disdain.
Yang Qiaoqiao was both angry and amused, so she quickly pushed the man away and glared at him. "Stop messing around! There are so many people passing by and watching! Don't you have any shame?"
Huo Beixiao didn't care at all, and even pulled Yang Qiaoqiao over to kiss her again, saying, "I don't care about shame, I just want my wife!"
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
"Honey, can you come back to the mall with me first?"
Huo Beixiao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with a pleading look in his deep eyes.
Yang Qiaoqiao was speechless. "I'm not going back with you. I'll let you go to a meeting first. How will you be able to sleep tonight?"
"Mwah~~"
Huo Beixiao put his arm around Yang Qiaoqiao's shoulder and kissed her again, saying, "My wife is the best."
The first and second floors of the mall have already been renovated.
Huo Beixiao set up a temporary office on the first floor, where he usually held meetings.
Yang Qiaoqiao originally planned to wait for Huo Beixiao outside and not participate in their meeting.
After all, she and Huo Beixiao had always planned their own careers separately.
But she couldn't resist the man's constant pleading and insistence that she accompany him to the meeting.
The man also arranged for her to sit in the very center of the conference table, with himself sitting right next to her.
Before all the employees arrived, the man blatantly took the roasted chestnuts he had bought on the way, peeled them, and fed them to her.
At first, she felt a little embarrassed.
But as more and more female employees attended the meeting, and after several of them looked hurt after seeing Huo Beixiao feeding her chestnuts, she accepted it willingly.
Before the meeting began, Huo Beixiao spoke solemnly and formally: "Let me introduce you all. This is my wife. The reason I called this meeting here at the last minute is because my wife came up with a great investment promotion strategy."
When Huo Beixiao told them that he would waive a year's rent for the businesses that moved in, all the employees breathed a sigh of relief.
Because such a large shopping mall was built here, it's not that no businesses wanted to move in.
On the contrary, many people who have seen the world in big cities want to set up shop in their malls to do business.
But after the discussion, they all said the rent was too expensive.
The rent for a shop outside is only about 30 yuan a month for 100 square meters, but they charge 50 yuan here. Moreover, there is no foot traffic here, so it is uncertain whether their business can succeed.
This makes it difficult for them to negotiate with potential investors.
Now that they're offering a year's rent waiver, they have no worries about attracting tenants.
Furthermore, Huo Beixiao emphasized that even if the rent was waived, the salaries and benefits of these staff members would not be affected.
Yang Qiaoqiao sat quietly in the main seat, listening to Huo Beixiao and a group of staff discuss how to carry out the investment promotion work.
She had paper and pen in her hand, and would occasionally jot things down.
Although she didn't plan to build her own shopping mall, all businesses are interconnected. She felt that many of the details Huo Beixiao mentioned to the investment promotion department at this time would also inspire her future business.
After the meeting ended, Huo Beixiao reached out to take Yang Qiaoqiao's hand and leave.
Ignoring the man's outstretched hand, Yang Qiaoqiao quickly ran to the investment promotion department and registered two shops.
She requested a 300-square-meter shop on the second floor to sell clothing produced by her own garment factory, and also requested a 50-square-meter shop on the fourth floor.
The shopping mall and the train station are located at opposite ends of the provincial capital, one in the north and one in the south.
After opening a branch at the train station, it would be a good idea for Yang Benya to open another branch here.
After Yang Qiaoqiao finished registering, she turned to Huo Beixiao with a bright smile and said, "Brother Xiao, I've taken care of my business. Let's go."
With outsiders present, Huo Beixiao calmly led her to the car.
Once in the car, Huo Beixiao's composure vanished instantly, and he looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Honey, didn't you notice anything wrong during the meeting just now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao blinked in confusion and looked at him, asking, "What problem? I think you spoke very well in the meeting! I only gave you an idea, but you thought of the details in such a short time and prepared solutions for those details."
"Xiao-ge, you're amazing!"
In the end, she couldn't help but sincerely praise the man.
She discovered that this man was sometimes just like a child, and he loved being praised.
She was feeling pleased with herself for her cleverness when she noticed that the man wasn't happy at all and still looked sullen.
She was immediately confused.
What's wrong with this man today?
He used to get so cocky when she praised him, but why is he still like this today?
Huo Beixiao lowered his eyes, his dark, deep eyes looking at her with a pitiful expression. "Didn't you notice anything strange about the way some of the women looked at me just now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao instantly understood; so that's what he meant.
