Chapter 379 Zhu Xiuyu's Big Event
Huang Ling and her group returned to Suzhou. The next day was a day off, so she set up a table at Suihualou to reward everyone at noon.
Zhu Xiuyu arranged their favorite dishes.
She said with concern:
"You're not used to the food there, right? Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it."
"We are not very used to it, but Xiaoling likes it. No matter how busy she is, she never neglects her appetite. She keeps saying that Xiaoting will definitely like the double skin milk. Let me help her have one portion since we are here." Zhou Huaiyi said with a smile.
"Is it difficult to make?" Zhu Xiu Yu became interested when she heard about delicious food.
"I actually asked for the recipes for a few small desserts and took notes. I also copied a copy for you. You can try it when you have time. If you can make it well, you can sell it in the store."
"Okay." Zhu Xiu Yu nodded in agreement.
After dinner, the others went back first. Huang Ling found an empty teahouse to drink tea, and waited for Zhu Xiu Yu while checking on the business in the building.
Zhu Xiuyu came to see her after finishing her lunch break.
Huang Ling looked at her watch and it was three o'clock.
"Business is much better on weekends. We've just sent off the last table of customers at this hour. Do we still need to offer that discount?" Zhu Xiu Yu knew what she was thinking when she saw her looking at her watch.
"Yes, I asked a few students to go to Kaiming Western Restaurant, State-owned Hotel, and Songhelou to keep an eye on them. After calculating their customer flow, we are still a little short, so let's continue." Huang Ling said seriously.
"I understand." Zhu Xiu Yu was still a little nervous after hearing this.
"Oh, Sister Yu, don't worry. I'm not saying you didn't manage it well. This is normal in the catering industry. We need to guide consumers to form consumption habits. Kaiming and Songhelou have their fixed consumer groups, and we will have them in the future too.
We've been open for such a short time, but our current performance is already very good. Think about it, Songhelou is a century-old brand." Huang Ling felt relieved.
"I understand. Let's make money first, and then go after them!" Zhu Xiu Yu continued.
"Yes." Huang Ling smiled.
"My vision is still far from enough." Zhu Xiuyu's eyes were full of admiration and appreciation for Huang Ling.
Originally, she thought that being able to make money was good enough, but unexpectedly, Huang Ling was comparing their store with these stores. Although there is still a gap now, after hearing what Huang Ling said, she instantly had a goal and motivation.
At that moment, her goal changed from making money to building a century-old store.
This was something she couldn't even imagine.
At this time, Pengfei knocked on the door and came in to add hot water for the two of them.
"Pengfei, don't do this job anymore. It will be troublesome if you get burned." Zhu Xiu Yu said with concern.
"Aunt, I understand." Pengfei laughed and walked out.
"He is so cunning, just like you. He was afraid that we were discussing something secret, so he heard someone else delivering water and came here by himself." Huang Ling understood Pengfei.
Zhu Xiu Yu laughed, how could she not see it.
"Look at you, how come you didn't pass on your cunning nature to Hongbin? He's the most well-behaved of the kids. If it weren't for his physique, I'd be worried he'd be bullied in college!"
"I don't know either! I think he probably looks like his father, his biological father." Zhu Xiu Yu sighed.
"Oh, I guess so. It doesn't look like you anyway."
"You were away for a few days... I... went to the banker." Zhu Xiu Yu looked at Huang Ling and told her what had happened in the past few days.
"It can be considered as a small lesson for them and also paving the way. Once Hongbin gets a job and Pengfei is admitted to university, I will really have nothing to worry about." Zhu Xiu Yu added.
Huang Ling wanted to persuade her that the children were already grown up and she could consider herself first, but she thought about it and didn't say anything. She knew that in Zhu Xiuyu's heart, no one was more important than Hongbin.
She will do anything that is beneficial to Hongbin, and she will not do anything that is harmful to Hongbin.
"As for this house, I won't take advantage of Zhuang Chaoying, but I must have this house. It was exchanged for Hongbin's father's life." Zhu Xiu Yu said heavily.
Huang Ling nodded in understanding.
It is not time for housing reform yet. This house belongs to the company and it is difficult to divide it. I can only live in it.
"Hey, is that old woman's face turning green?" Huang Ling came closer and asked.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded: "He fainted from anger."
"Hahaha! That's great! I even avenged my three kids." Huang Ling said happily.
"That's right, it makes me so angry." Zhu Xiu Yu gritted her teeth.
Huang Ling looked at Zhu Xiuyu and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
Zhu Xiuyu looked at her embarrassedly: "I can't hide anything from you."
"You sold me out"
"Tsk, I can sell you"
"Then tell me what's going on."
Zhu Xiuyu organized her words in her mind and then said:
"From what I heard from Hongbin, he doesn't really want to stay in Shanghai. Of course, I don't know if I can choose a place now, but if he doesn't want to stay in Shanghai and wants to return to Suzhou, I agree. What do you think?"
"Well, it depends on the assignment. If there's a chance to come back, then I'll come back. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to stay in Shanghai."
"That's right, if the company in Shanghai is not as good as the one in Suzhou, then you might as well come back, right?"
"Let's talk business. It's not time yet."
"Oh, serious business. I... want to buy a house." Zhu Xiu Yu finally said it.
Huang Ling looked at her: "Buy a house"
"Yes, I want to fight for this house now, but I'm not fighting with Tunan, I'm fighting with Zhuang Chaoying. Tunan and Hongbin are going to get married as soon as they graduate from university, so how are we going to live in this house?"
Huang Ling understood what she meant. The house was too small for her two sons to live in after they got married, and it would be inconvenient for them to live together. She didn't know how Huang Ling would arrange for Tuanan, but she wanted to buy a separate residence for Hongbin to get married, which was considered as a gesture to Huang Ling.
She just said that this room is to be fought for, so what she meant is that Hongbin can not live in it, but this room must still belong to Hongbin.
This also shows that she has great trust in Huang Ling and Tuanan.
Huang Ling nodded to show that she understood, and then asked: "So what do you want me to do?"
Zhu Xiuyu replied, "Although I want to buy it, I don't know who to contact to do it. I know you must have a way."
"There are risks, but you can still buy a house, and you will be able to do so in the future. If you have money, buy a house and buy as many as you can," Huang Ling encouraged.
"I mainly want to ask you to help me find a reliable person. If I can buy it, please take a look at the deed for me. I don't trust others. Then, I think the house cannot be written in my name. You know a lot, so please help me think about whether it can be written in Hongbin's name." Zhu Xiu Yu finally finished speaking.
Hongbin’s household registration has now been transferred to the school, and will be transferred to the unit in the future, so it can be said to be an independent household registration.
Huang Ling agreed: "There really is such a person, Lao Wei, who specializes in this business."
When Zhu Xiuyu heard this, her eyes lit up.
Lao Wei is Huang Ling's long-term partner and is very familiar with the whole of Suzhou.
Huang Ling is still relatively cautious at this stage, only buying the best properties. Lao Wei knows this and only recommends the best ones to her. The commission is not low, but the sellers are reliable and can help rent out properties if they can't live in them.
But to be on the safe side, Huang Ling told Zhu Xiu Yu about the disadvantages of buying a house now and the troubles and disputes that might arise in the future.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded: "I understand what you said. I still want to buy it. I'm not afraid. I can afford the consequences."
Huang Ling always admired her decisiveness, so she replied:
"Okay, I'll tell Lao Wei then that if you need money, you can ask me first. It's better to owe me than to owe others."
When Zhu Xiuyu heard this, her eyes turned red. She held Huang Ling's hand and said, "Thank you, Aling."
