In just three days, Hu Ruixue had completed all the necessary procedures for the company. She pushed an agreement in front of Shu Yan and said, "Sign it."
Shu Yan didn't sign immediately; she flipped through the agreement and glanced at it. It stated that the registered capital was 5 million yuan, with each person contributing 2.5 million yuan, and each holding half of the shares.
That means 2.5 million per person. Shu Yan frowned. "I don't have that much money."
Even if she didn't buy anything, she still couldn't come up with 2.5 million.
"This is just the registered capital; we don't actually have that much. For the initial phase, I think 2 million should be enough." Hu Ruixue had already had the finance department do the math, and considering Shu Yan's financial situation, she had done her best to save money.
“200 is not enough. The advertising fee will probably not be cheap.” According to their plan, they will advertise on various satellite TV stations. Hu Ruixue also wants to choose prime time. With such a long advertisement, 2 million is definitely not enough.
“The advertising fee doesn’t necessarily have to be paid immediately.” Hu Ruixue smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, if I say it’s enough, it’s definitely enough. It’s 2 million in total, 1 million each for you and me. If you don’t have enough money, I can advance the funds.”
"I've practically given you my entire fortune." Shu Yan signed her name in a flamboyant style, then went to the bank and transferred 1 million yuan to the company's account.
The company's office building is Hu Ruixue's private property. She rented an entire floor in the company's name. Another lease agreement was given to Shu Yan for her storefront on Chengnan West Road, which was rented to the company as a directly operated store for a price of one thousand yuan per month.
I thought the company was just an empty shell, but I didn't expect there were already seven or eight people inside.
Hu Runxue clapped her hands and said to everyone, "This is my business partner and another boss of the company, Mr. Shu. Mr. Shu, is there anything you would like to say to them?"
"Hello, Mr. Shu." The employee knew there were two bosses, but had never met the other one.
"Hello everyone, I'm not very good at talking, so I'll treat you all to lunch," Shu Yan said somewhat shyly, feeling the attention of seven or eight pairs of eyes.
"What's going on? You've recruited so many people in just three days?" Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she arrived at Hu Ruixue's office.
Hu Ruixue was amused by her appearance and laughed uncontrollably. "How could that be? These people were recruited by me before. They used to work in the factory office, but now they've all moved here. You haven't seen your office yet, have you? I'll show you."
Shu Yan's office is right next to Hu Ruixue's, and the overall decoration is similar to Hu Ruixue's.
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can have the people below redo it." Hu Ruixue opened the window, looking down with a sense of superiority.
"No need, this is fine." Shu Yan felt that she might not come here often, so she didn't have high requirements for the office, and besides, it was indeed quite good as it was.
It was said that Shu Yan was treating, but Hu Ruixue chose the venue and ordered the dishes.
The employees were a little reserved at first when they had dinner with the two bosses, but they gradually relaxed after each of them clinked glasses.
After lunch, Shu Yan returned to the shop. Business was slow today; it was already 2 PM, and she had only made 400 yuan. Shu Yan looked around the shop and saw that there weren't many people shopping on the street, so it wasn't a problem with her shop. Feeling a little relieved, she called Zhang Huaxiu to help her take inventory of the warehouse.
"Why are there so many autumn clothes here?" Shu Yan has been quite busy lately and hasn't been in the store much. There haven't been many items coming in from the warehouse either, so she really didn't know there were so many autumn clothes piled up in the corner.
“This was left over from last month; it’s been hanging outside, but it hasn’t been sold yet,” Zhang Huaxiu said.
Nonsense, it's already winter, of course autumn clothes won't sell.
Shu Yan frowned. "You should have held an event before the season changed. Why didn't you tell me?"
Actually, we did some promotions during the seasonal change, and Shu Yan thought that most of the autumn clothes had been sold off. She didn't expect there to be so many left.
Zhang Huaxiu paused for a moment and said, "I think these clothes can be sold gradually, and any that are not sold can be sold next year. It would be too much of a loss to just get rid of them through this event."
Shu Yan put down the clothes, stood up and stared at Zhang Huaxiu, who lowered her head and said calmly, "What do you mean by 'I think'? I've been quite busy lately, so I've entrusted many things in the store to you. But you need to understand that you are just an employee of this store, not the boss. Shouldn't you consult me before making any decisions? You can't act on your own."
Shu Yan reflected on herself, wondering if she had given Zhang Huaxiu too much power.
Zhang Huaxiu's eyes were red with tears. "No, no, I know my identity. I really didn't think that much. I was just thinking about getting rid of it and losing a lot of money. I... I'm sorry! I won't do it again next time."
She's probably been having too much luck lately. She's finally found her life partner, and he's a great guy. Her boss values her and leaves the shop to her when he's away, which led her to make such a big mistake.
“Xiuxiu, I can tell you very clearly that I do want to train you to be a store manager, but do you know why I’ve been hesitant? Being a store manager is different from being an employee. First of all, it’s a matter of perspective. You can’t just focus on small, immediate gains. If you can’t take a long-term view, then you’ll only ever be a salesperson.” Seeing Zhang Hua on the verge of tears, Shu Yan sighed. “Maybe my words were too harsh. Think about it carefully. I hope you can become even more outstanding.”
Shu Yan closed the door when she left, not letting Yingying know that she had criticized Zhang Huaxiu; she had to give her that much face.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Huaxiu composed herself and went out. "Boss, what about... those clothes?"
"You and Xiuxiu sort it out together and take inventory. Aren't we going to release spring clothes soon? I'll try to pair it with the spring clothes and see if it can sell. If not, we can save it for a promotion at the end of the year." There's always a big promotion during the New Year, and that way some of this dress can be sold.
I recounted and organized all the autumn clothes, found a special place to put them, and wrote a note on a red paper and pasted it on top, so I wouldn't forget them when I was busy.
After picking up the child and preparing lunch, Shu Yan, as usual, carried the insulated lunchbox to the small flower bed. Today, in addition to the food and fruit, Shu Yan also put a small note inside, inviting Fang Zeyu to have lunch together tomorrow.
Upon seeing the note, Fang Zeyu paused for a moment, then carefully folded it and put it in his pocket.
"What are we having for dinner today?" The old lady looked curiously at the lunchbox in Fang Zeyu's hand. "Oh my, is this beer-braised duck? Braised eggplant, braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a spicy and sour lettuce. Is she from Sichuan Province?" This kid is too tight-lipped; he won't say a word.
"No, Grandma, we're really just friends." Fang Zeyu was both amused and exasperated. She had two grown children; she must already have a husband.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, I'm going to sleep." He still lies to her, calling her a friend? Would a friend cook him a different meal every day? Big fish and meat at every meal? She's lived to this age and has never met a friend like that. He still wants to lie to her.
Fang Zeyu guessed that Shu Yan was looking for him because she wanted to ask about human traffickers.
Actually, there was a result. Yesterday, his comrade called to tell him that they had caught the traffickers' accomplices and rescued several children and abducted women. For some reason, when he went to Shu Yan's house this morning, he didn't mention it. His reason was that he couldn't be near Shu Yan, otherwise it would tarnish her reputation.
Why didn't he tell her when he got off the bus? He had the chance to tell her when he went to Nanjiang Star, but he still didn't say anything.
He picked up a duck leg and took a bite; he definitely couldn't bear to part with such delicious food...
“Mom, that uncle…” Jingjing asked hesitantly, “Doesn’t he have any food to eat?” She actually wanted to ask her mother why she kept bringing food to that uncle.
Tianbao is still young and doesn't understand anything, while Jingjing is more sensible and knows more. The main problem is that one of her classmates has divorced parents, and he told Jingjing that after his parents remarried, they stopped caring about him, and now he lives with his grandparents. So Jingjing is a little scared, afraid that her mother will be like her father, marrying someone else and abandoning her and her brother.
What if she went back to her grandparents' house? Ye Jingjing shuddered; she didn't want to go back to those days.
"No, he helped Mom a lot, and Mom invited him to dinner to express her gratitude." Children often think they are pretending well, but adults can see through their little schemes at a glance. Shu Yan pinched Jingjing's cheek. "Kids shouldn't think too much. Mom is very busy right now, taking care of you is tiring enough, I don't have any other thoughts on my mind."
Jingjing lowered her head. "Mom, will you abandon me and my brother?"
She once overheard Wu Xiuyue talking to Zhang Chenghan's grandmother, who said that if it weren't for her and her younger brother, her mother would definitely be a very capable person.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could your mother not want you? If she really didn't want you, she wouldn't have taken you away in the first place." Shu Yan put some eggplant into Tianbao's bowl with her chopsticks. "Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too."
Tianbao ate the food with a bitter face, then looked up and said, "Mom, are you going to find me a new dad?"
Shu Yan looked at Tianbao in shock. "Who told you this?" Could it be that there were already rumors circulating about her without her knowledge?
"I said it myself." Tianbao picked up a piece of braised pork, took a big bite, and said that his mother's braised pork was so delicious. "There is a classmate in my class whose parents separated. He said it meant they would never be together again. Then his father brought a new mother home, and his mother also found a new father. I have seen his parents. His father hits people and often hits his mother. I think it's good that his mother found a new father."
Shu Yan stared at Tianbao in disbelief. Could this really be something a three-and-a-half-year-old child would say?
