And there's another very important point.
There are too many street vendors. Although no one is managing them now, it won't be long before management of the stalls begins.
When we start working again, we certainly won't be as carefree as before. Wouldn't it be better to stay in one place and work steadily than to drift around aimlessly?
Gao Huifang considered it for a while, "Let me think about it. Opening a shop requires a lot of investment, it's not a small matter. I really can't handle it by myself. If Sister Liu and I work together, it would be really possible."
Sister Liu is indeed decisive, but she has only been making money for a short time.
She definitely has enough funds to open a shop, but what if her family needs the money urgently after she invests it all?
Furthermore, after spending time with these people, he trusts their character, so there's no reason why they can't cooperate.
"Yes, let's discuss it together."
Seeing that everyone else had something they wanted to do, Lin Xiaomeng, who had no money and no clue what to do, started to feel worried.
"Hey, you all have things you want to do, but what about me? What should I do?"
Lin Wei said, "Aunt, I was planning to open that Chinese hamburger shop with Jize, you can come over, but it won't be able to do it for a while."
Lin Wei's house design is relatively simple; the three-story building can be completed in 2-3 months. However, due to its large area, the decoration will also take another 2-3 months.
Even without waiting for the formaldehyde to dissipate, it will be half a year in no time. To be honest, Lin Xiaomeng really can't wait that long.
Zhang Min laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Let's do it together. They open a braised food shop, and we open a clothing store. If we do it together, we're sure to make money."
Seeing that Lin Xiaomeng did not agree, Zhang Min asked, "Sister Meng, don't you want to work with me?"
"No, that's not true. I've never done it before, and what if I hold you back? Besides, I don't have much money."
"Don't worry about the money, I have it, Auntie. I really have money. Jize has finished the business plan. I won't invest in the land and storefront. If it's just the burger shop, I have more than enough money. Besides, opening this kind of shop doesn't cost much."
It really doesn't cost much.
It was 1992, and wages were only so-so. Even if they demanded exorbitant rent, it would only be a few thousand dollars. After all, no one is stupid. If the rent was too high, wouldn't people be ripped off?
Lin Xiaomeng wasn't very confident in herself. "Okay, I'll try following you. If it works, I'll continue. If it doesn't, I won't hurt you."
And so the matter was settled.
After Zhang Min withdrew the money, she handed it over to the three families.
Lin Xiaomeng naturally accepted the money, but after returning home, she gave it all to Lin Wei.
"Weiwei, this money is yours, you can take it."
Lin Wei was taken aback. "Auntie, this money should be yours. You should keep it."
"No, this is your business. I'm just helping out."
“But Aunt, I haven’t done anything these past 7 days. On the contrary, you’ve been busy the whole time. Besides, these 7 days have been really tiring, much more tiring than usual. So I can’t take this money. You should keep it yourself and don’t refuse.”
However, she was required to participate in the 7-day exhibition; otherwise, the money should still go to Lin Wei.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaomeng said, "Weiwei, I don't want us to have any unpleasantness over money. I'm not happy either if you don't take the money. How about this, we split it in half. You come up with the idea and I'll do the work."
"Aunt, there's no need to be so precise. We're family," Lin Wei said earnestly.
Unfortunately, it couldn't awaken Lin Xiaomeng's 'heart'. "It's different. This business is obviously coming to you. You put in a lot of effort both before and after. Listen to me, I would feel guilty even if we split it in half, but let's just divide it like this."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing Lin Xiaomeng's determined look, Lin Wei had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
For the next few days, Lin Wei stayed indoors, either lying in bed or drawing.
Shen Jize was also taken along, and they lived together in the small courtyard.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you. You have such a big villa, why are you staying here with me?"
"I can't help it, your cooking is so delicious, I can't stay at home and I think about your cooking every day."
Lin Wei glanced at the other person and joked, "You only care about my skills, not me as a person?"
After Lin Wei finished speaking, she stared straight at Shen Jize without turning her head. Shen Jize was only a 20-year-old young man, and his heart trembled after being stared at by her for a while. "Weiwei, don't tease me. If you keep teasing me, I won't be able to take it."
Lin Wei knew when to stop, so she shut up. But before leaving, she whispered in his ear, "Do you really hope I'm not being silly? Or are you just saying no while secretly really wanting it?"
Then she ran away.
Shen Jize watched her departing figure with amusement.
"Weiwei, I hope you can be this brave in the future."
-
Once the Lantern Festival is over, school will start again.
Although the Chinese hamburger shop is not large, Shen Jize wanted to start construction in August, so the blueprints had to be prepared as soon as possible.
When Lin Wei returned to the dormitory and found her roommates there, she announced the good news.
"Sisters, what kind of part-time job do you want?"
Before the three of them could even exchange greetings, their eyes lit up.
"Another part-time job? What is it, Weiwei?" Wang Ying asked quickly, then added, "After I got back, I gave my part-time job earnings to my mom. She didn't take a single penny and told me to keep it. I then bought her a gold necklace, and she bragged about it to everyone she met. She had a wonderful New Year."
Zhang Yanyan also said, "Yeah, my mom didn't want it either, but later she added money to buy her a bracelet, saying that I bought it for her by myself. When we visited relatives, she showed it off to every household and almost got kicked out."
After all, not everyone wants others to be happy.
Quiet is simple: "My parents didn't want the money at all and told me to keep it for living expenses, but they still gave me living expenses when I left. So I bought a heavy ring for my mom and a watch for my dad. They were overjoyed."
Lin Wei had already gone through that process, so she immediately got to the point: "So what did you do during the Chinese New Year holiday?"
Lin Wei then explained what she wanted to do: "The blueprints are already in their initial stages. Are you willing to work with me? Commercial architecture is a completely new field for us. It may seem simple, but it requires attention to detail everywhere. Of course, we have the money, but we'll discuss the specifics later. So, are you interested?"
All three nodded, "Yes, of course we'll do it! We can learn and earn money at the same time. This is a rare opportunity, and we're definitely willing to take it."
"However," Zhang Yanyan said with some concern, "we still have to go to construction sites, do building work, and study at the same time. Will we be able to manage all that?"
Without a second thought, Wang Ying said, "People who are in relationships are busy enough to manage, but we're a bunch of single people who can't find the time. Who else is going to be busy? Let's worry about it more."
