Shen Jun smiled. It didn't matter if the house was good or bad. As long as her daughter was by her side, she could get by no matter what kind of life she had.
After signing the contract and buying the house, Chu Yu asked her about her next plans.
The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop can't be reopened. Even if it were to reopen, it couldn't be in that location. The short man knows where Shen Jun's shop is, and if he were to come back, it wouldn't be a good idea.
Shen Jun also wanted to change the location of her shop. She used to rent a house from someone else to open her shop. The landlord saw that her business was good and wanted to raise the rent every now and then. Shen Jun couldn't stand it and always wanted to move to a different place.
She also has 100,000 yuan in savings. If Luo Kangcheng can get her savings book back, Shen Jun wants to buy a storefront to open a shop. Having her own place means she won't have to move around so often, which would be much more convenient in the long run.
Chu Yu was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave that place, but Shen Jun was open-minded. She opened the shop there to wait for her daughter. Now that her daughter had arrived, what was there to miss?
Her daughter is the meaning of her life for the rest of her days.
Chu Yu then asked Ding Da to help find a storefront, preferably one that could be purchased. Upon hearing that there was another business opportunity, Ding Da nodded happily and quickly consolidated the storefronts he had on hand.
“Most of them are in the hands of the housing management bureau, but there are also some small courtyards at the entrance of alleys near the street that are suitable for renovation and opening shops. I will sort out all the suitable houses later and take you to see them one by one. I guarantee you will find a suitable house,” Ding Da assured him.
Chu Yu chatted with him for a few more minutes. When Uncle Ding committed suicide, he handed over his old house to Ding Da. After Ding Da helped Uncle Ding with the funeral arrangements, he rented out Uncle Ding's house.
“I originally wanted to keep it as our wedding home, but my girlfriend felt that someone had died there and she would be scared if I came home late. So I thought I would rent out the house and rent a place closer to my company. The rent is a bit more expensive than my uncle’s house, but I can still afford it.”
Ding Da is an honest and ambitious man. In order to meet the needs of high-end clients like Chu Yu, he followed Chu Yu's advice and enrolled in a night school to learn English.
"Shouldn't the police have recovered some of the money?"
Ding Da shook his head. "What we recovered was just a drop in the ocean, not enough to go around. I filed a case at the police station, but they told me to go home and wait for notification. I haven't heard anything since."
"Don't count on that money. What's more, your aunt embezzled company assets, and the company hasn't given any explanation."
"No, the person died, so the company didn't pursue the matter, and it's over."
This is probably the best possible outcome.
Shen Jun was completely confused. Chu Yu told her about Zhou Jian'an and Zhou Fangchun. She was amazed to hear that Chu Yu's father was a fraudster in this era. She thought that this person's experience was more impressive than his strength.
“He can start over once he escapes to the port city.”
Chu Yu nodded. She had asked Long Cheng to help deal with Zhou Jian'an, but Long Cheng was too busy to attend to her.
I heard that Zhou Jian'an opened a small home appliance factory in Gangcheng. Business was booming back then. Chu Yu could only say that evil people don't necessarily get their just desserts. Most of the time, bad people live a more carefree life than good people.
Chu Yu stayed home with Shen Jun for two days. She and Shen Jun had a good relationship. Shen Jun could cook and take care of people. She was especially concerned about Chu Chu and Chu Xiang. The two younger sisters followed suit and also called Chu Yu "godmother".
Perhaps the incentive measures Chu Yu mentioned last time have taken effect, because good news has been coming from the laboratory frequently lately.
First, there was a breakthrough in the research and development of sunscreen, and then there was a new direction in the research and development of hyaluronic acid.
Chu Yu pondered that the Great Wall wasn't built in a day. As long as there was a direction, Mandarin could gain an advantage in this field. Once there were breakthroughs in the research and development of sunscreens and cosmetics, Chu Yu would definitely focus on promoting the yeast and hyaluronic acid developed by Liu Mingchuan.
"By the way, if possible, I'd like some sheet masks," Chu Yu said seriously.
Da Lei, wearing a white lab coat, walked over and asked incredulously, "Sheet masks? What are these?"
"It's something used to moisturize and hydrate. You soak a sheet mask in cosmetic lotion and then apply it to your face. The effects of a face mask are generally anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, whitening and brightening, and anti-aging."
Da Lei had never heard of such a thing before.
“I saw this product once abroad and felt that it had a great market potential. Think about it, our country has more than a billion people, and there are countless women who love beauty. As long as we instill the concept of face masks in everyone, then women can apply a face mask every night when they get home. Face masks are very simple to make, with no technological content, but the price is not low. If we can do a good job with face masks, the annual revenue will be quite considerable.”
However, there are no suitable sheet masks available in mainland China. In fact, sheet masks have not yet been invented.
But Chu Yu felt that she should first tell the R&D team about this concept and let them study it slowly. Maybe one day they would have a major breakthrough.
Chu Yu's barrage of attacks exhausted Da Lei and his group. They stared at Chu Yu with horrified expressions, feeling that she was an exploitative capitalist who treated people like cattle.
They're already thinking about developing face masks before they've even developed sunscreen.
Oh, and there's hyaluronic acid too. Hyaluronic acid isn't something that can be easily cultivated.
Da Lei searched through many papers before he could roughly figure out the research direction. Even so, it is a long process to go from nothing to something.
They've found their direction, but making it a success could take many years.
Chu Yu waved his hand, "Feel free to make any requests you have, whether it's hiring or adding equipment, I'll try my best to meet your needs. Like I said before, you only need to focus on research and development; I'll handle everything else. You don't need to worry about anything. If the team succeeds, everyone involved will have a house and a car!"
