"The company name was chosen by Momo."

After hearing Ling Chuan's explanation, Ling Jiang immediately gave Yun Mo a thumbs up. "My sister-in-law is really educated. The name she chose sounds high-end and classy. But why is it a department store? Don't we sell clothes, gloves and small accessories?"

"The business scope of department stores includes daily necessities, clothing, shoes and hats, handicrafts and jewelry."

After listening to Yun Mo's explanation, Ling Jiang suddenly understood.

Now that the company has been established, everyone can be considered formal company employees. It will be a source of pride for them to talk about it to others. The brothers' faces were filled with excitement and joy.

In order to thank the Zeng family for their help, Yun Mo specially booked a private room in the city's famous Grand Hyatt Hotel to treat the Zeng family to dinner.

After all the dishes were served, Yun Mo took Ling Chuan and raised their glasses to toast Zeng Xingguo and Yao Suhua.

"Uncle Zeng, Aunt Yao, thank you for taking care of me and Lingchuan during this period. I can't express my gratitude enough. We are done, please feel free to do as you please."

After saying that, Yun Mo tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass, and Ling Chuan followed suit and drank the wine as well.

Yao Suhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Momo, why are you so polite all of a sudden? It's just a piece of cake."

Yun Mo wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Aunt Yao, these may seem like trivial matters to you, but they are like divine help to us."

Zeng Xingguo pointed his finger at Yun Mo in the air and said, "You can't just talk, but you can also drink."

Yun Mo chuckled, "Uncle Zeng, don't think I won't have to drink just because you praised me."

Zeng Xingguo couldn't help laughing, then he raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and turned the glass upside down.

"Is this okay?"

Yun Mo smiled and nodded, then picked up the bottle of wine on the table and continued to add wine to the two of them.

Zeng Fang eagerly held out the cup, "Momo, give me some too."

Without waiting for Yun Mo to respond, Yao Suhua raised her hand and covered the mouth of the cup that Zeng Fang was holding out.

"What are you drinking, kid?"

Zeng Fang widened her eyes in dissatisfaction, "How am I younger? Momo and I are obviously the same age, okay?"

"That's different. Momo is already married."

“…”

Seeing her friend being embarrassed, Yun Mo subconsciously spoke up to help, "Aunt Yao, how about getting Fangfang a bottle of fruit wine?"

Looking at her daughter's pitiful eyes, Yao Suhua nodded in agreement.

"Yeah!" Zeng Fang was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Yao Suhua looked disgusted and said, "There are so many beverages you don't want to drink, but you just like to drink alcohol. Do you think alcohol is a good thing?"

Zeng Fang pouted unconvincedly, "You all drink, and I'm the only one drinking juice, how boring."

Zeng Xingguo smiled and continued, "Fangfang, it's easy for you to drink. Work hard next year and get into a good university. I'll dig out a jar of daughter's red wine buried in my hometown for you to celebrate. I guarantee you'll drink as much as you want."

Yao Suhua kicked her husband under the table and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you drink that wine casually?"

Seeing his wife was angry, Zeng Xingguo hurriedly explained, "Oh, there are so many jars buried, it won't matter if we dig one out."

"I'm too lazy to tell you."

Yao Suhua rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned to her daughter and said, "Don't listen to your father. He's not thinking straight."

Fearing that the atmosphere would become awkward, Yun Mo quickly smiled and invited everyone to eat.

When they had almost finished eating, Yun Mo took the opportunity to go to the toilet and went to the service desk to pay the bill.

The cashier quickly settled the bill, "Your total consumption is 178 yuan."

As I was paying, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.

Yun Mo turned around subconsciously and met the eyes of Yun Shixian who was looking over here.

Seeing her, Yun Shixian just paused for a moment, and then continued walking and chatting with the people around him as if nothing had happened.

Yun Mo didn't care. She turned around to take the change and invoice from the cashier, then turned back to the private room.

Not long after Yun Mo left, Secretary Tong came to the cashier counter.

Yun Shixian was a frequent customer here, and Secretary Tong easily found out from the cashier which private room Yun Mo was sitting in and who she was eating with.

"Boss Yun, Miss Yun Mo is here to have dinner with Director Zeng's family, and Miss Yun Mo is the host."

Seeing Yun Shixian's thoughtful expression, Secretary Tong couldn't help but speak up, "It seems that Miss Yun Mo has a good relationship with Director Zeng's family. How about asking her to help speak for Director Zeng?"

Although Yun Yao went to the provincial capital, the mess she left behind was not over.

Zeng Xingguo had been angry at Yun Yao for not saving Zeng Fang. However, he did not expect that Yun Yao was so bold as to use this incident to plot against the Zeng family and try to ruin his daughter's life. Zeng Xingguo naturally could not tolerate this.

During this period, Yun Shixian had a hard time. Under the strong suppression of the Zeng family, he lost several major projects in succession. Even the Xianglaier clothing store opened by Yun Yao was forced to suspend business for rectification because it failed the tax audit.

During the period of suspension and rectification, two new clothing stores with the same style as Xianglaier opened across the street.

After Xianglaier reopened, business plummeted, with daily sales dropping from four or five hundred to double digits. There were times when it was even closed for the entire day.

Yun Shixian had visited Zeng Xingguo before, but Zeng Xingguo simply ignored him and even refused to meet him.

Now that he knew that his adopted daughter could actually sit at the same table and eat with Zeng Xingguo's family, he couldn't help but be tempted.

—

After school at noon, Yun Mo politely declined the offer to go to the cafeteria with Yang Huiying and walked out of the school gate alone.

Today is the first day the clothing store officially opens, and she wants to go over and see how things are going.

Unexpectedly, I met Secretary Tong as soon as I walked out of the teaching building.

"Ms. Yun Mo, Mr. Yun is waiting for you to have dinner at the restaurant opposite the school."

"Please tell Mr. Yun that I'm sorry, I'm not free today."

Yun Mo was about to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Secretary Tong.

"Ms. Yun Mo, Mr. Yun wants to ask you to come over to discuss the household registration issue."

Yun Mo hesitated for a moment and followed Secretary Tong to the restaurant.

This is a mid-range restaurant with dine-in service on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.

Several dishes were already placed on the large round table in the private room. Yun Shixian was sitting in the main seat in the middle. When he saw her coming, he raised his hand slightly to signal her.

"Come on, sit down. You don't have much time to rest at noon. Let's talk while we eat."

Yun Mo sat one seat away, at the lower left, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yun Shixian looked at her carefully, with some appreciation in his eyes, "Xiaomo, you are much more mature than before, you are steady and generous, very much like me. I heard from your teacher that your grades are very good now, and you will have no problem getting into the top ten universities in China next year."

Yun Mo rolled her eyes secretly in her heart and got straight to the point: "I heard from Secretary Tong that you plan to return my household registration to me? When?"

Yun Shixian smiled but said nothing.

Yun Mo took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"
