In the following days, there was still no news from Guo Ziming and Ye Feixu, so Su Yan and Wen Nai went sightseeing in Beijing.
Su Yan was not familiar with Beijing and had never visited the city before, so she took this opportunity to relax.
Worried that they would get lost, Guo Ziming found a local girl to show them around.
It wasn't until four days later.
Guo Ziming and Ye Feixu finally devised a treatment plan that would last for half a month.
Su Yan has five days left before school starts, so she definitely can't participate in the entire treatment. Therefore, Ye Feixu and Guo Ziming will have to do the acupuncture for her.
For convenience, Wenna bought a house near the military hospital and moved in, so that she only needed to walk to the hospital for treatment every day.
After Su Yan started school, Wen Nai felt embarrassed to let Li Juan and the others take care of her all the time, especially since it was an hour's drive from the courtyard to the military hospital, which was too time-consuming.
Wenna began receiving treatment the following day.
For the remaining days, Su Yan spent her days at the hospital and only returned home in the evening.
When Su Yan returned home in the afternoon, she heard Li Juan humming a tune as she cooked in the kitchen.
"Mom, you seem to be in a good mood today?"
She walked into the kitchen and saw her mother's face beaming with joy.
Li Juan became even more excited when she saw her and quickly said, "Ayan, just as you said, the customers who used to buy Aunt Wu's braised food because it was cheap have all come back to buy from us these past two days. I secretly went to take a look, and not only is Aunt Wu's business not doing well, but she is also selling leftover braised food from the previous day. The customers who ate it got sick and went to settle accounts with her."
This was to be expected. Su Yan calmly said, "Mother, as long as we keep the taste of our braised food the same, no matter how many braised food stalls open around here, they are just imitating others. There is no need to worry about not having customers."
The three shops were all gifts from the Tao family, so there was no rent pressure at all. Even if they were open one day and closed the next, they could still make a lot of money. However, her mother was a money-grubber and would never rest when she could make money.
"I don't think Aunt Wu will give up so easily."
Hearing this, Li Juan's heart leaped into her throat. "She's not going to give up yet? What else does she want to do?"
Su Yan thought for a moment, "Aunt Wu learned how to make braised food at our shop, but the taste of hers is different from ours. She will definitely question whether we have added unclean things to our braised food. If she makes a big fuss, you can just tell everyone that we have another recipe that is passed down from our ancestors. Then you can ask the old Chinese medicine doctor at the clinic at the crossroads to test whether the ingredients in the braising broth are harmful to the human body."
In fact, skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners can easily tell what medicinal herbs are used in the braised food. It doesn't matter if they tell you, as they can't guess the dosage and combination of the herbs.
Li Juan kept it firmly in mind and said earnestly, "If Aunt Wu is still not convinced, I will definitely do as you say."
Su Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Mom, you've been a boss for so long now. You need to keep a clear head when handling things. Don't get tricked or caught up in something. If anything happens, panicking is the least useful thing to do."
"good."
Li Juan understood what she heard.
But when something really happens, she knows she might not be able to stay so calm.
However, she can't trouble her daughter with everything; her daughter will probably be very busy when she returns to Guangzhou.
"Weren't you planning to open a branch? How far along are you?"
As soon as Li Juan finished asking the question, Su Yan's pager went off.
After glancing at the number, Su Yan smiled and said, "Mom, whatever you asked for, here it is. It's Sister Caixia's phone number."
"Then answer it quickly," Li Juan urged.
Su Yan answered the phone and walked to the door. "Sister Caixia, where are you today?"
“In Chongqing,” Feng Caixia said. “Ayan, I think Chongqing is better. There are so many tourist areas here, and so many tourists. Why don’t we open a branch here?”
Feng Caixia's main task was to survey Chongqing and Sichuan Province.
She spent two days in each of the two places, but ultimately decided to open a branch in Chongqing.
Of course, this wasn't a decision she made based on personal preference; it was the result of comprehensive consideration from various aspects.
Without hesitation, Su Yan replied, "Sure, I'll leave this to you. I'll go over when the branch opens."
"Huh?" Feng Caixia exclaimed in shock, "You're not going to get involved in any of the renovation stuff? You trust my aesthetic sense, but I don't trust mine. What if you think something's not right after the renovation is done, and then we have to redo it all over again?"
"Why don't you get a renovation company to draw up some plans for me? If there are any problems, I can just look at them and make some changes, right?" Su Yan said helplessly, "Sister Caixia, just go for it. If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can our branch operate well? Let's just wait until you have more confidence before making a decision again."
Feng Caixia hurriedly retorted, "How can that be? I was just saying it, but I already know what I'm doing. Okay, leave this to me. I'll bring the drawings back to you once the renovation company has finished them."
She did have many years of experience managing restaurants, but she felt that Su Yan had a sharper eye than her and that her ideas were novel and interesting, which is why she asked Su Yan for advice on everything.
Feng Caixia is now very enthusiastic about opening a branch store, and she can't let it go unresolved.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing, I think we need to discuss it again."
"What's up?"
"It's about the branch store. Tang Li and I talked about it on the phone last night. You bought the entire Banrixian store outright, and we've already gotten a great deal. So we can't take advantage of you for the branch store. We think it's better to rent it out for twenty years first, and then sign a new contract with the landlord after twenty years. Otherwise, we won't feel good about it." Feng Caixia said firmly.
For her and Tang Li, half a day of leisure earned them a lot of money.
For Su Yan, the land and restaurant cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, but the dividends of tens of thousands of yuan at the end of the year were still a loss.
If the land for the branch is bought, Su Yan will inevitably have to pay for it all herself.
She and Tang Li have a sense of shame; how could they keep taking advantage of Su Yan?
Even if Su Yan treats them like family and doesn't care about these things, the two of them still can't enjoy Su Yan's kindness with a clear conscience.
So when she told Tang Li that Su Yan wanted to take over the land for the branch store, Tang Li's first reaction was to refuse.
Su Yan had already guessed what Feng Caixia and Tang Li were thinking, so she had no choice but to compromise, "Alright then, I'll do whatever you say."
Hearing this, Feng Caixia breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right. When are you going back to school?"
There are 4 days left until the start of school.
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "I should go to Guangzhou two days earlier."
