Lin Moxiao's gaze was cold and deep; he did not reprimand her further.
"Starting tomorrow, pets are not allowed in the company. You'll be wearing proper uniforms. Go pick them up from General Manager Zhou now. Now go and call Jiang Shuyue in."
Gao Xuan pursed his lips, arrogantly put his hands in his pockets, and walked out. At the office door, he called out, "Jiang Shuyue, President Lin wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyue slowly stood up, gave Gao Xuan a deep look, walked to the office door, knocked, and went inside.
Inside the office, Lin Moxiao was looking at the documents piled on the table.
"Mr. Lin, you called me."
Lin Moxiao looked up and handed over Jiang Shuyue's resume, which had been returned from headquarters:
"Your application for design director wasn't approved by the board. Starting tomorrow, you'll be replacing Yu Qing in the sales department as sales manager. Are you confident?"
Jiang Shuyue's mouth dropped open instantly, and she covered it with both hands. She had already guessed that her chances of being appointed as the director of Chaoxi were slim and she had given up hope. Unexpectedly, Lin Moxiao threw another bombshell at her.
Lin Moxiao frowned and looked at her: "What, do you think you're not up to the task?"
Jiang Shuyue was overwhelmed with excitement: "Sure, how will I know if I don't try? I'll definitely give it my all."
Lin Moxiao continued reading the documents in her hands, her voice gentle: "Go to General Manager Zhou to complete the handover of your work, and report to the sales department tomorrow."
“Okay, I’ll go as soon as possible.” Jiang Shuyue picked up the documents on the table and was about to leave when she was called back: “Has Jiang Shuya contacted you recently?”
Jiang Shuyue turned around, raising an eyebrow: "Really? President Lin, you're still insisting? My cousin is married, and now the whole company is saying you and that Miss Gao are getting married soon."
Seeing that she was pretending not to understand, Lin Moxiao didn't intend to explain and waved her out.

Jiang Shuya stood on the balcony and saw Huang Minghao return. She called out to the window, "Huang Minghao, come up here for a moment, I need to talk to you about something."
These days, Jiang Shuya has been thinking about the preparations for opening the store repeatedly. After much deliberation, she decided to find Huang Minghao, even though she didn't have a good impression of him. She decided to take the risk and give it a try.
As they spoke, Huang Minghao had already arrived in the upstairs living room: "Did you need something?"
Jiang Shuya sat down on the sofa herself, gestured for him to sit down as well, and brought him a cup of fruit tea that she had made for him in advance.
"I want you to take me to meet your brother-in-law, your uncle's brother-in-law."
In her past life, Huang Minghao's brother-in-law started his business with physical stores, created his own private supermarket brand, and opened many chain stores across the country. Perhaps people from Zhejiang have an entrepreneurial spirit in their bones and have their own unique business model. Every supermarket he runs is profitable. Jiang Shuya has a deep impression of this person. He is a trustworthy entrepreneur with a high level of integrity in business.
Huang Minghao and his cousin Huang Li are siblings who grew up together and have a very close relationship. Huang Li has always cared a lot about her brother. She remembers that when she went shopping with Huang Minghao, she bought him his suit, shoes and clothes. Even now, when Huang Li buys clothes for her husband, she always thinks of buying clothes for her cousin. She praises him to everyone she meets, saying that her cousin is the most handsome and righteous, and that he has protected her since childhood and never let her be bullied by anyone.
"What do you need Hu Jianming for?"
Jiang Shuya didn't keep them in suspense: "I want to open a fast food restaurant, a physical business, and I'd like to ask him to invest. I want to talk to him in person."
Huang Minghao asked, puzzled, "Didn't you say you'd only do online sales? Now you want to do physical stores too."
Jiang Shuya looked up;
"Yes, that was my original plan. I had Sun Qi do some research, and there aren't many fast food restaurants in Jinling that have a good reputation. It has great market potential, and I want to develop both online and offline."
Without a physical store, Xiaohui's orders would be hampered. Jiangdao isn't in the city center; it's located on the edge of Hexi, too marginalized. Picking up orders requires crossing a bridge over the river, making it feel too far away.
Upon hearing this, Huang Minghao lit a cigarette: "I can only take you to see him; I won't speak on your behalf."
Jiang Shuya, enduring the smell of smoke and pinching her nose, said, "Okay, we'll go now. Could you call ahead?"
Huang Minghao exhaled smoke, picked up his phone, and started making a call. Jiang Shuya got up, poured herself a glass of water, and sat on the sofa to drink a few sips.
"Let's go, they're in Xixia District, Tianshui Lake." Huang Minghao strode downstairs, and Jiang Shuya's eyes lit up when she heard the name.
Tianshui Lake, the place where I first met Huang Minghao, was the beginning of a mistake. Now, returning there again, I feel a mix of emotions.
The two arrived by subway. Huang Minghao said that his sister's family had everything they needed and didn't bring any expensive items, only some fresh fruit from a fruit shop.
Huang Li and Hu Jianming were both at Tianshui Lake Supermarket. The couple were looking for a store and checking their daily purchase records when they saw Huang Minghao. Huang Li warmly went up to greet him.
"Brother, brother, what wind brought you here?"
The call was to Hu Jianming, and Huang Li hadn't had a chance to be told yet. Seeing how enthusiastic Hu Jianming was, Jiang Shuya couldn't help but envy the relationship between the two siblings.
Hu Jianming led them to the second floor, completely unaware of the couple's arrival.
Jiang Shuya cut to the chase: "President Hu, approximately how much would it cost to invest in a supermarket?"
Hu Jianming smiled and said, "That depends on the size. This place, for example, is less than 300 square meters downstairs, plus the staff dormitories upstairs. The total investment for opening it would be around two million."
Jiang Shuya then asked, "How long will it take to break even?"
Mr. Hu thought for a moment: "Depending on the location, if one company dominates, two years should be no problem. But if there's competition in the surrounding areas, it will be slower, probably three years, or even longer."
Jiang Shuya took the juice Huang Li offered and said with a smile, "To be honest, the reason I called you here today is to ask you about your views on running a fast food business. I'm currently running an online restaurant, and I've brought the data. Could you please give me some pointers?"
After saying that, he opened the canvas bag, took out a laptop, opened it, found the merchant version, and pushed it over to show Mr. Hu.
"Here's the total daily order volume for the eight major cuisines, along with a monthly summary. The analysis data is saved on your desktop; take a look."
As Jiang Shuya spoke, she pointed to the repurchase rate of more than 30,000 households saved on the big screen.
Mr. Hu watched intently, his eyes gleaming with admiration, nodding repeatedly: "I'd thought about starting a fast-food business before, but the supermarket has always been a family business, leaving no time or energy for what I wanted to do. Your idea is excellent, but online isn't enough; you need to open physical stores."
