Xiao Wang exclaimed in surprise, "You have an older brother?"
“I have six older brothers and one younger brother.” He Jing didn’t hide anything from him. “Chang’an is my sixth brother’s shop.”
Previously, He Chen had earned a large sum of royalties but had nowhere to spend them, so he consulted the experts in He Yuan's think tank on how to manage his finances. After learning that the people of City A had a good appetite and that it was not easy to lose money by opening a restaurant, He Chen opened a barbecue restaurant and expanded it to several cities.
In addition, He Chen owns more than a dozen milk tea shops, eight or nine snack shops, and three or four cake shops. In short, the shops he owns are all kinds of food and drink. Because they are so down-to-earth, his fans often patronize them.
Chang'an is probably the most prestigious store under his name.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately looked at He Jing with a deep sense of sympathy: "I never imagined that you had such a hard life before, Xiao Jing. Your family must have paid a lot of fines during the one-child policy era, right? Fortunately, you've made it through. Don't worry, I'll definitely come to your brother's house for meals often when I have money in the future, and I'll help your brother get business."
He Jing raised an eyebrow, offering no explanation, but instead smiled even more brightly: "Then thank you, Brother Wang!"
Upon hearing what Xiao Wang said, the others chimed in:
"Me too, me too."
"We all are."
...
Chang'an is a bit expensive, but I can still afford to eat barbecue once a month.
He Jing sincerely said, "Thank you all so much."
Qi E said "Hi": "Don't be shy, we're in the same group, and you're our group's beloved junior sister."
After getting off work that day, He Jing took her colleagues to Chang'an Barbecue Restaurant.
It wasn't yet time for other companies to get off work, and there weren't many people in the barbecue restaurant. As He Jing led her colleagues inside, she explained, "This place is near a commercial area with many companies nearby. We usually only do business for a few hours after get off work until midnight because it's a bit expensive per person, so we didn't open it in the university town."
In comparison, the environment here is much better than the milk tea shop and snack shop that He Chen opened in the university town; even the seats are high-end sofa chairs.
Furthermore, every table at Chang'an Barbecue Restaurant has a pot of wisteria hanging above it, tissues are folded into rose shapes, and tulips are placed in every available space for greenery. Perhaps it's a strange habit of literature lovers to be a bit fussy, but all of He Chen's restaurants have a lot of greenery.
"Your brother is quite capable. This place is really nice; he's probably going to make a lot of money." Xiao Wang was a simple man and didn't have any particular thoughts about such a beautiful shop, so he honestly praised it like this.
He Jing couldn't help but chuckle. He Yuan's think tank was a force to be reckoned with, controlling a massive corporation. Any one of them could stir up a storm; they were quite capable.
Unfortunately, the barbecue restaurant didn't have private rooms; they could only dine in, so the ten of them sat at three tables.
The waiter saw He Jing and went to call the manager. A moment later, the manager came over with the menu. She smiled warmly and placed the menu in He Jing's hands, asking, "Miss, what would you like to eat?"
He Jing handed the menu to a colleague across from her: "Xiao Xin, you can order."
The boy, nicknamed Shin-chan, waved his hand shyly: "No, no, no, you do it."
Xiao Wang scratched his head, puzzled: "Why does this 'Miss' sound a bit strange to me?"
"What's strange about it?" He Jing looked up with a smile on her face. "Men are called 'Sir,' and women are called 'Miss,' isn't that always been the case?"
Indeed... Xiao Wang felt there was nothing wrong with what she said, but he always felt that when the waitress called He Jing "Miss," it sounded like she was calling her a rich young lady, rather than a customer.
Besides, this shop is owned by He Jing's brother, so it's normal to address him more affectionately.
