Zhuang Xueqi thought about it, raised her chin, and said, "Continue."

"But my two children are still young and I'm not sure the bag will remain intact when they grow up."

"So, I thought of selling the bag and replacing it with something else that can maintain its value, to ensure that it can be passed down to my children in the future."

Zhuang Xueqi's curiosity was aroused. "What did you change to?"

"The house was near my home, and I saw the owner had it listed for sale, so I used the money from the sale of the purse and my own money to buy the house."

"You already have a house, why do you buy so many houses?"

"It's an investment. After a while, I can rent out the house and get at least 500 or 600 yuan in rent a year. When the children grow up, I can take the house back and use it as a wedding house. How great is that."

Zhuang Xueqi snorted, "You are good at calculating."

Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "Then you've calmed down, right?"

Zhuang Xueqi rolled her eyes at her and pointed at the pile of wedding gifts on the bed. "I mean what I said. There are a few nice bags in there. Pick one."

"No thanks, Mrs. Ning. However, if you have old items at home that you don't need, instead of just leaving them there taking up space, you can actually consider selling them at a discount and using the proceeds to make some investments."

Zhuang Xueqi stared at her, as if she had heard something incredible.

"Shen Mingzhu, do you know that my brother and I can't spend all the money in our personal account in our lifetime? You want me to sell junk for such a small amount of money? Are you crazy?"

Shen Mingzhu was not scared off by Zhuang Xueqi's anger. "Mrs. Ning, in my humble opinion, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. A woman should always have her own property and leave a way for herself to attack or defend in marriage. Only then can she be invincible at any time."

"Of course, both the Zhuang and Ning families are well-known and prestigious families. This kind of behavior will indeed bring shame to the two families, so..."

Shen Mingzhu grinned, "If a poor person like me does it, no one will gossip about it."

…

After Shen Mingzhu returned to her guest room empty-handed, she wished she could punch herself twice.

Why are you being so noble? A bag costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. If you don't want it, you'd be a fool.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Ziheng had already packed the luggage of the mother and son, and was sitting obediently on the bed waiting for her. Seeing her hitting her head in frustration, he hurriedly ran up to show concern.

"Son, Mom just did something stupid..."

Knowing that Shen Mingzhu was regretting not accepting the purse given by Zhuang Xueqi, Pei Ziheng consoled her caringly: "Mom, wait a little longer. When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and buy you a lot of bags."

Looking at her son's handsome and sensible face, all the unhappiness in Shen Mingzhu's heart instantly disappeared.

"Okay, then mom will wait for you to buy her her first pony."

"Well! So mom, what color pony do you like?"

"Mint green, right?"

Are there mint green horses?

Pei Ziheng expressed his doubts, but if it was something his mother liked, he would definitely find it.

…

After returning to Fengcheng, Shen Mingzhu became busier than before.

In addition to taking into account the progress of the food factory and the restaurant, he also had to take time to meet the daughters of rich families and wealthy wives who he had made an appointment with on the cruise ship, understand their needs, and design their makeup.

Just when Shen Mingzhu was busy as hell, Zhuang Xueqi came to her door, bringing with her five large boxes of luxury goods.

Two of the boxes contained handbags, one box contained unworn ready-made clothes, one box contained perfumes, watches, jewelry, etc., and one box contained shoes.

"You said before that you could help me take care of it. Do you dare to break your promise?"

Seeing Shen Mingzhu stunned, Zhuang Xueqi questioned arrogantly.

Shen Mingzhu quickly shook her head, "I dare not, I just didn't expect you to have so many things to deal with, it may take some time."

After a pause, he pointed to the large cardboard box containing the purse and said to her, "The one on the top is just for you. Consider it my commission."

Huh? An unexpected turn of events?

Shen Mingzhu rubbed her hands together, unable to hide her excitement, "Then I'd be disrespectful if I refuse?"

"Thank you, Mrs. Ning!"

Zhuang Xueqi stood up and walked in front of her.

The two have similar heights, but Zhuang Xueqi is wearing high heels, so she looks much taller than Shen Mingzhu.

"Do it for me, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry, Madam Ning. I will never fail you."

After seeing Zhuang Xueqi off, Shen Mingzhu opened the carton containing the purses and took out the top box.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

It is a classic large LV handbag with brown monogrammed leather.

Shen Mingzhu does not plan to sell this bag, but keep it for herself.

She is now a small business owner, and often deals with wealthy daughters and wives of the upper class. It is time for her to have some presentable clothes.

Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang took until two o'clock in the morning to count the things that Zhuang Xueqi sent, and they finished making a list one by one.

In the next two days, Shen Mingzhu rode her scooter to all the consignment shops in Fengcheng, big and small, and completed the consignment procedures for the items one by one.

After all, they are valuable items, and keeping them at home will only lead to more trouble.

From then on, Shen Mingzhu started collecting money everywhere every day.

I sold a bag today, a watch tomorrow, and a necklace the day after tomorrow.

Later, Shen Mingzhu couldn't run anymore, so she changed the payment to every three days, and then to every week.

…

At the end of the month, Shen’s Private Restaurant was officially opened and completed.

Private dishes, as the name suggests, are private dishes that are not available outside.

Shen Mingzhu's private restaurant has a fixed menu of six dishes, a soup, a snack and a staple food, but the dishes are different every day and there is no advance notice, which is like opening a blind box.

Therefore, diners need to make reservations two days in advance.

Before officially opening for business, Shen Mingzhu held a grand food tasting event.

In addition to relatives and friends, there were also some clients who had cooperated with the food factory, Pei Ziheng's teachers, parents of familiar classmates, and the rich daughters and wives he met on the cruise ship.

In short, Shen Mingzhu invited everyone she knew.

I originally thought it would be great if one-third of the people came, but unexpectedly, everyone was so supportive, and many people even brought their friends.

There were so many people that we could squeeze in and sit down, but there wasn’t enough food.

It was so cold, and I came all the way out of the city, but I couldn't eat enough. How could I feel? Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to go to the nearby village to buy three geese and five chickens, and cooked a big pot of flame goose and big plate chicken.

The dishes cooked in a big pot are bound to be unsatisfactory in appearance, aroma and taste, but I didn’t expect the feedback from diners to be quite good.

Shen Mingzhu soon figured out the key.

First, I have never eaten it; second, the ingredients are fresh, and dishes cooked with firewood will definitely taste better than those cooked with coal.

…

When settling accounts at night, Jia Yuemei couldn't help but feel lucky, "Fortunately, we didn't pay to open this shop. Look, we spend four or five hundred dollars a day. How can we run a business like her? Sooner or later, we will lose everything!" (End of this chapter)
