Besides, business has been so good lately, I'd be exhausted if I did it all myself. Learning from you would help ease my burden.
Moved, Ji Yin grasped Ye Ran's hand in return, "Little sister! Just for what you said, I'll consider you my sister for life! From now on, you're Qiangzi's and my real sister!"
Hou Zhiqiang, being a grown man, had his own decision in mind. After thinking it over, he agreed, "Okay! Then I'll take advantage of you this time. Don't worry, we'll definitely study hard!"
Even if you leave, your older sister and I will continue to work together, and we'll still split the profits with you the same way!
Ye Ran's original intention was not like that. She was just grateful for the help the couple had given her in her past life and this life, and thought that after she had earned enough capital, she would leave the pastry business to the couple.
In their previous life, Hou Zhiqiang and his family started their business with grain and eventually moved to Haicheng, where they became well-known hotel entrepreneurs.
Therefore, I feel at ease entrusting my dim sum business to them; they are capable of making a name for themselves. Who knows, maybe one day we'll be able to enjoy their dim sum all over the country?
Ye Ran had no intention of doing such a thing, so she refused, "That won't do! If I hand it over to you, it becomes your business, how can I get a share of the profits!"
To everyone's surprise, Hou Zhiqiang and Ji Yin were also unusually stubborn, saying, "No, if you don't want to, then we won't learn it either."
Neither side was willing to back down. At this moment, Lu Yi, who hadn't spoken until now, smiled slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this? This is the first time I've ever seen people argue because they want to give each other benefits."
Isn't this a simple matter? Both of you have made contributions. If Ranran leaves in the future, then what she provided was the formula, and what you provided was your effort, Brother Hou.
Since both people have contributed, these costs constitute the partnership's expenses, and shouldn't they be divided according to their contributions?
Ye Ran quickly pulled him back, "What are you saying? I already said I don't want it!"
Lu Yi patted her hand reassuringly, "Ranran, I understand your gratitude towards Brother Hou and his wife."
But even close brothers should keep clear accounts; one thing at a time. If things aren't handled properly here, problems will definitely arise later.
If you don't ask for anything, Brother Hou and the others will feel guilty and won't dare to ask you any questions, which will ultimately affect their business.
Hou Zhiqiang and his wife nodded in agreement, "That makes perfect sense! Ranran, let's do as Xiao Lu says, he's much more clear-headed than you!"
Ye Ran was somewhat amused and exasperated. How did things sway to Lu Yi's side so quickly? She should say, as expected of Lu Yi! He's always so calm and composed, analyzing things with such clarity and logic…
However, the thought that this was her boyfriend made Ye Ran feel a little proud.
Ye Ran agreed, "Alright! Let's do it your way, but the profit sharing can't be done the way it is now. I didn't contribute anything, so I'll just take a little less."
"No, the most important thing is your skill. Just do it the way it is now!" Hou Zhiqiang and his wife disagreed.
"Let's do it this way! 60/40, you guys get 60%, Ranran gets 40%," Lu Yi suggested.
"Isn't that too much?" Ye Ran frowned.
"Not much! Ranran, have you forgotten? Brother Hou and the others still need your secret recipe!" Lu Yi said meaningfully.
Ye Ran suddenly realized, "Oh right, there are dewdrops too! How am I supposed to teach them this...?"
