After dinner, Xia Lijuan and He Wenhua took a car back to the High-tech Zone.
On the way back, Xia Lijuan complained to He Wenhua indignantly, "Your cousin is really funny. She earns so much money every day, and she still comes to borrow money from us! We've only been in business for a few days, it's infuriating!"
He Wenhua was speechless upon hearing this, and looked at Xia Lijuan with displeasure: "Are you out of your mind?"
He Wenhua wasn't stupid; of course she knew that He Wenlin was deliberately trying to put Xia Lijuan down.
"You're the one who's out of your mind!" Xia Lijuan retorted. "She buys so many houses, rents out tens of thousands of yuan a month, and just like that, she rents them out without a second thought. She must be rich! I won't even mention the breakfast shop and the food factory. Just take two fast food restaurants as an example. Their daily turnover is several thousand yuan. Even if she sells coupons and lowers the profit margin to only 30%, her net profit is still at least 700 yuan a day. 700 yuan a day, you do the math yourself. How much does she earn in a month? More than 20,000 yuan! 200,000 yuan a year, she definitely has it! 200,000 yuan!"
Now that Xia Lijuan runs her own business and knows the vegetable prices, she immediately calculated He Wenlin's income.
You won't believe it until you calculate it!
Two hundred thousand! That's twenty years' income for a worker who doesn't eat or drink. He Wenlin can achieve that in just one year, or even surpass it!
He Wenhua had already calculated this in his mind, and when he found out, he was shocked and found it hard to believe, even doubting that he had calculated it wrong.
I had to calculate it over and over again before I finally accepted this fact.
He admired, but truly, he wasn't jealous.
Xia Lijuan added, "Your sister earns so much money herself every month, but she keeps encouraging us to set up a stall. I don't know what she's up to."
He Wenlin had suggested to them several times that they set up a stall first and then open a shop later, taking it one step at a time.
Because of this incident, Xia Lijuan always had a knot in her heart, feeling that He Wenlin had ulterior motives.
"What bad intentions could my sister possibly have? She's just telling us to play it safe. She started out setting up a stall herself. Don't think of her as such a bad person."
"Then tell me, why doesn't she let your brother set up a stall? Lin Fei, she signed an agreement with her, but your brother didn't."
“My brother is too honest and young, he’s not even an adult yet. If he opens a shop, he’ll lose everything. Besides, with a street stall, my brother earns such a stable monthly salary, plus room and board, he has no pressure at all. Unlike us, we get so anxious when our business is going badly.”
Xu Haibo earns more than him, but he can't open for business when it rains, and he still has to pay for food and lodging. My brother is different; he gets room and board, and he saves all his money. He's no worse off than someone who runs a stall on his own, okay? He's even bought a house now.”
Speaking of this, He Wenhua also regrets it. If he had come last year, he might have bought a house this year. He wasted half a year of earning time.
“Your brother is indeed honest. If it were me, with his skills, I would have started my own business long ago. Isn’t the second store over there supported by him? It’s only because he’s honest that he’s not successful. If it were someone else, they would have taken over long ago.”
Because of this, Xia Lijuan thought He Wenjun was extremely stupid!
If you have this skill and ability, why not go out on your own and work for someone else, making wedding dresses for them? You can't find another person in the world as stupid as that!
He Wenhua scolded, "Shut up! You've ruined my brother and sister's relationship. I'm not done with you!"
Xia Lijuan turned her head away, didn't speak, and after a few seconds of silence, said, "Don't rush to pay back the money you owe your sister. We still have a lot to buy. Your sister has money, she's just saying this on purpose to urge us to pay back the money."
He Wenhua loudly reprimanded, "How could you be such a person? Paying back debts is a matter of course! My sister lent me money without hesitation, and now that I have the money, I should pay it back without hesitation. It's okay to be a little selfish, but you can't be heartless!"
Xia Lijuan immediately exploded: "You're saying I have no conscience!"
"Do you have any conscience? You've lost all your conscience! My sister lent us money to start her business, and you don't even want to pay her back. Today she just mentioned that we should make more money and lend her some to help her out. She hasn't even lent her any money yet, and you're already so resentful. Is she really here to borrow money? What are you going to do? Kick her out?"
He Wenhua was genuinely angry.
"Why are you being so fierce? Did I say I wouldn't pay it back?" Xia Lijuan retorted loudly. "Besides, she already has money, and she still said she wanted to borrow money from me. She did it on purpose! She's just using this as an excuse to indirectly pressure us to pay back the money! She's so young, yet she's incredibly shrewd!"
"She didn't mean that at all!" She was just deliberately trying to put you down! He Wenhua could tell that his sister didn't like Xia Lijuan.
"You're not her, how do you know she didn't mean that? I think that's exactly what she meant!"
"Even if she meant that, she's the creditor, shouldn't we pay her back? Stop talking nonsense, once you've saved enough money, withdraw it and send it to her right away!"
Xia Lijuan thought He Wenhua was stubborn and incredibly stupid.
He Wenhua felt that Xia Lijuan was brainless, heartless, and too difficult to communicate with. She treated those who had helped her this way, so what about outsiders?
Then the two of them stopped talking about the problem.
...
He Wenlin had no idea about their situation.
He Wenlin contacted Boss Meng and ordered molds, baking trays, ovens, spatulas, turntables, and other items by phone, asking him to deliver them next Saturday.
He Wenlin then instructed her father to get a business license on Monday, saying that they were law-abiding citizens and that everything should be done according to the rules.
Recently, fewer frozen products such as dumplings and steamed buns have been made, so Huang Chunxiang and Grandma Ruan have had fewer working hours.
He Wenlin simply arranged for them to clean up the factory area.
Although the store will not close until the end of the month, and after that, there will be renovations, so the earliest it can open will be in mid-June, He Wenlin still needs to train her employees, so there really can't be a moment's delay.
He Wenlin instructed the food factory's HR specialist to recruit people who could make cakes and bread, or even just those with a little bit of basic skills.
Only when the people are in place can we begin the next steps.
