Li Weidong repeatedly protested his innocence: "Mom, don't talk nonsense! I've already said I have nothing to do with Liu Xiaohong!"
Honestly, Liu Xiaohong is like a piece of chewing gum now, once you're stuck with her, you can't shake her off!
Zhao Xiulian said irritably, "Then where are you going?"
"Let's go into town!"
Li Weidong sighed helplessly: "Mom, you said you're going to the engagement party first thing tomorrow morning, so we can't go empty-handed, can we?"
"Besides, I'm busy with work and have a lot to deal with, so how can I stay at home all the time?"
After hearing his explanation, Zhao Xiulian's expression softened a bit, and she added, "Then buy more things, so as not to be impolite."
"And you absolutely have to be home tonight!"
Li Weidong said with a bitter face, "Mom, I already told you I'm very busy. As long as it won't delay the engagement tomorrow, please don't worry about it."
He's over twenty years old. Most people would have kids running around by now, so why is there a curfew for him?
Zhao Xiulian couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only sigh and let him leave.
...
Li Weidong hurried into the city and headed straight for the restaurant.
Although the company hasn't officially started yet, this is the busiest time, with so many things to prepare.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, I noticed a new face inside.
"Juanzi, call Weidong-ge."
Shen Xiaoyan introduced, "Wei Dong, this is my cousin Juanzi. I called her here to help out."
“After all, I might not be able to take care of the restaurant when I get busy, so I asked her to come and help out.”
Juanzi looked to be around twenty years old, with a bright and cheerful smile. She wiped her hands on her apron and called out, "Brother Weidong!"
"Hey, do a good job."
Li Weidong didn't know what to say, so he gave a dry reply before leaning close to Shen Xiaoyan's ear and saying, "Sister Xiaoyan, aren't you worried about handing over such a big restaurant?"
Even close brothers keep clear accounts; we need to figure out whether this cousin is reliable or not!
This restaurant is the foundation for Shen Xiaoyan's future as the richest woman. I can't let my arrival change its original trajectory and Shen Xiaoyan's fate.
Shen Xiaoyan laughed: "What's there to worry about? Juanzi is a very reliable person. I have complete peace of mind leaving the restaurant to her."
Li Weidong was relieved and followed Shen Xiaoyan upstairs.
I was stunned for a moment as soon as I went up.
The second floor of the hotel originally housed several private rooms, as well as office areas and lounges.
Now all the private rooms have been vacated and furnished with office chairs.
The two rest rooms have also been fitted with new beds, which look much more comfortable than before.
"So efficient?"
Li Weidong was somewhat surprised.
He had only mentioned it casually, saying that the company hadn't found a better address yet, so why not just set up on the second floor of the restaurant, and move there later if a more suitable place became available.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiaoyan got the job done without making a sound!
Shen Xiaoyan laughed: "If the general manager has spoken, then of course things have to be done!"
"Besides, these days, what can't you do with money?"
She doesn't need to do these things herself; she just needs to pay, and someone else will take care of the work.
Li Weidong was both amused and exasperated.
Money can indeed buy anything, but only Shen Xiaoyan, the future richest woman, could say that.
After all, in this day and age, human resources are the least valuable commodity.
Li Weidong toured the second floor and was very satisfied with the office.
Then a question arose: "By the way, where's Zhang Bin? Where did he go so early in the morning?"
"have no idea."
Shen Xiaoyan shook her head: "He left very early, apparently to see an old classmate, saying that the technicians couldn't handle it by himself."
Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "That kid, he either doesn't do it at all, or when he does, he does it like his life depends on it!"
Shen Xiaoyan was the same; as soon as she said she wanted to start a company, she immediately found someone to take over the restaurant and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the company.
I don't know whether to be happy or feel too much pressure seeing the two of them get into work so quickly.
After all, Shen Xiaoyan in her previous life was a renowned female tycoon, and now that she has been reborn, she has changed the trajectory of her life.
No matter what, this company has to achieve something, at least it can't let Shen Xiaoyan, who believes in her, end up worse off than she did in her previous life.
What are you looking at?
Shen Xiaoyan waved her hand in front of Li Weidong.
From the moment he opened his mouth, Li Weidong had been staring at her, making her feel a little embarrassed.
Li Weidong snapped out of his reverie and quickly shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the company's future development!"
He couldn't very well say that he was thinking about how to make Shen Xiaoyan the richest woman in the world, so that he wouldn't feel guilty towards her, could he?
Shen Xiaoyan chuckled: "This matter can't be rushed, so you don't need to worry too much."
Then he changed the subject: "By the way, now that the company is up and running, we should start thinking about talking to farmers."
"When will we start cooperating? We don't have much time left."
The next batch of mushrooms will be planted around September or October, and there seem to be plenty of time, with several months to go.
But in reality, when you get busy, the time flies by in the blink of an eye. During this time, you have to negotiate cooperation, build mushroom sheds, guide farmers on techniques, and even discuss sales channels. There's work to be done everywhere.
We can't delay any longer.
Li Weidong explained, "I've thought about this before, but let's not talk about it today. Zhang Bin isn't here anyway, so let's wait until I get engaged tomorrow!"
"engagement?"
Shen Xiaoyan then remembered that tomorrow was Sunday, and shook her head, saying, "I've been so busy lately that I've even forgotten the date. We can't be left out of such a big event as a wedding banquet."
Li Weidong laughed: "Of course I have to invite you over. You'll come back with me first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
Shen Xiaoyan smiled and agreed, thinking to herself that she would have to buy something later.
After all, an engagement is a joyous occasion, and one shouldn't go to a wedding banquet empty-handed.
After giving his instructions, Li Weidong prepared to go shopping.
But after taking only a couple of steps, he slapped his forehead: "Look at my brain! I almost forgot the most important thing!"
"Sister Xiaoyan, has the purchase price for these mushrooms been set yet?"
Shen Xiaoyan nodded: "Weren't we just waiting for you to speak?"
"That……"
Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "Let's use last year's average price!"
Shen Xiaoyan immediately frowned: "Last year? I don't think that'll work!"
"You know how expensive mushrooms are outside. The price changes every day and keeps going up. We can't keep going at last year's prices!"
Although it is said that rural people are simple and honest, there is also the saying that "poor mountains and bad waters breed cunning people," meaning that those farmers are quite shrewd!
At last year's prices, I guarantee no one would be willing!
Shen Xiaoyan's head throbbed with worry: "But if we stick to the current prices, we won't make much money."
"Wei Dong, this is a real problem!"
