He had his own reasons for wanting to work in another industry. Domestic policies were constantly changing, and he never knew when his old profession might become unsustainable.
It will be too late to change careers by then.
Huan Yuanliang smiled and said, "Comrade Xu, you are one of the two people who have made this kind of request to me."
And these two unique individuals are both women.
"Okay, let's meet here tomorrow morning, I'll come pick you up."
Xu Ruantang: "What's up?"
"The shop is already renovated. Go over there and meet with the craftsmen, the shop manager, and my lawyer."
Huan Yuanliang is a cautious person, so he naturally needs a lawyer present when signing contracts.
Chen Ji came out from next door and immediately saw Huan Yuanliang. This time, however, he didn't bring that blue-eyed, cheeky brat.
He was tall and slender, and despite working all afternoon, he didn't look dusty or dirty at all.
Xu Ruantang stood up, smiled and said, "Okay, then see you tomorrow, Mr. Huan."
She tugged at Chen Ji's hand and said to Huan Yuanliang, "Mr. Huan, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Chen Ji."
Turning to Chen Ji, he said, "This is Mr. Huan Yuanliang, the father of the child I met at Hecheng Hospital. He will soon be my boss."
As soon as Chen Ji walked over, Huan Yuanliang was shocked by his powerful aura.
He has met many wealthy and powerful people, both domestic and foreign, including business tycoons and influential young men.
Even so, very few could rival the person opposite him. This person possessed a powerful aura and an air of nobility, and given that they were in a place like Beijing, they could only be a scion of a powerful and influential family.
"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Huan Yuanliang took the initiative to extend his hand.
Chen Ji remained calm, extended his hand to shake hers, and said, "Hello."
Huan Yuanliang became even more curious about Xu Ruantang's identity.
I originally thought that this girl came from a poor background, which is why she was not pretentious at all, and that she was both smart and hardworking.
But after talking with her today, I felt that this girl's breadth of knowledge and vision is beyond what people from poor backgrounds can achieve.
Upon meeting Chen Ji, he instantly understood. With a husband like that, it's no wonder she has such knowledge and foresight.
After Huan Yuanliang left, Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji repeated their conversation verbatim.
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Chen Ji's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Xu Ruantang refused outright, "No need, I'll go check it out first. It's broad daylight, I'm not afraid of him. If anything seems amiss, I'll just turn around and leave."
She knew Chen Ji was just worried about her, but the army was busy enough that she couldn't let him handle everything.
"I'll go take a look tomorrow. Even if the lawyer brings out the contract, I won't sign it directly." Xu Ruantang squeezed Chen Ji's muscular arm. "I'll bring it back and have the top student from Tsinghua University take a look at it?"
Men really do need to be coaxed.
Even someone like Chen Ji is no exception. With his emotional value maximized and his sense of being needed satisfied, any man would turn into a cuckold.
Of course, this is all predicated on the man liking you and being willing to be seduced by you.
The day after arriving at the store, Xu Ruantang immediately spoke to Sister Juan and Qiu Liang about the brand.
Although they only partially understood what she was saying, the two of them agreed without hesitation.
Xu Ruantang was surprised by their trust in her and said with a smile, "Sister Juan, Brother Qiu, aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"
"Don't worry, without you, the shop would have been gone long ago." Sister Juan smiled gently.
Although Qiu Liang didn't say anything, he clearly agreed with Sister Juan's statement.
He would even draw inferences from this case and ask Xu Ruantang in return, "Aren't you afraid that we've cheated you? And that once business is good, we'll turn our backs on you?"
He always thought that Xu Ruantang was a very bold girl. She signed a contract with him and then taught him everything she knew without reservation.
If they really wanted to get rid of Xu Ruantang once business was good, there were plenty of ways.
Xu Ruantang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
Her eyes were lively. "First, those who mistreat their wives will never have any wealth, while those who pamper their wives will have wealth coming from all directions. The main reason I was willing to cooperate with you in the first place was because of Sister Juan."
Even with all the difficulties, Qiu Liang never thought of abandoning Sister Juan. On the contrary, he gave up many opportunities because of her.
This alone is enough to show his character.
"Secondly, my confidence comes from my intellect, not from my pastry-making skills. I remember telling you that these things are easily imitated and surpassed."
If you're short-sighted, even if you kick me out, you won't fare any better.
"Third, I started with nothing. If I had continued to have nothing, I wouldn't have lost anything. It would have just been a little energy and time."
But all of this will become my experience, and I won't lose out.
In terms of mentality, Sister Juan and Qiu Liang are the real big shots, something Xu Ruantang can't even imagine. If Sister Juan's situation were in her hands, it's hard to say whether she would even have the courage to live.
Huan Yuanliang came to pick her up, and she only realized that a familiar face was sitting in the car when she got in.
Both of them looked at each other in surprise, and Wang Xiuxiu even grabbed her hand, "Comrade Xu, so you are the technical consultant that President Huan was talking about!"
Xu Ruantang was also surprised, "Could you be the store manager Mr. Huan mentioned?"
Wang Xiuxiu nodded confidently, "Yes."
She patted her chest with one hand, making a loud thud, and said, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely confident that our dessert shop will grow big and strong, and make President Huan go crazy for it."
Xu Ruantang truly hadn't expected this situation.
Wang Xiuxiu chattered incessantly the whole way, and when they arrived, she pulled Xu Ruantang out of the car.
This location is truly ahead of its time. Although it's in a book, and many places in Beijing have different names, their locations are clearly the same.
Huan Yuanliang's shop is less than two kilometers away from the place where the national flag is raised.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's located on Qianmen Street.
"It's exactly the same!" Wang Xiuxiu exclaimed. "This is amazing!"
Xu Ruantang looked at her and asked, "What do you mean, exactly the same?"
Wang Xiuxiu is like a giant sieve, even more leaky than herself. I wonder if Lu Shishen has noticed her drastic change.
Don't end up worse off than her, getting arrested instead.
However, she could understand that it was too difficult to be careful with one's words and actions, especially since many of the phrases that people were used to saying had to be changed gradually.
"Hehe, I mean, I've never been to such a high-class place before, it's exactly as I imagined."
Huan Yuanliang's dessert shop is comparable in size to a large coffee shop, with two floors built in a prime location.
The decor is simple, but very stylish.
There is also a backyard, and at the very back of the backyard are several small warehouses.
"Gentlemen, please feel free to browse around. I'll go and gather the chef and staff," Huan Yuanliang said with a gentlemanly smile. "Get to know everyone. We'll wait for my lawyer; we'll discuss the contract details later."
Xu Ruantang nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Huan."
As soon as Huan Yuanliang left, Wang Xiuxiu pulled Xu Ruantang aside and asked, "I'm brave and not afraid, how come you're so brave too? Aren't you afraid that this Mr. Huan is a fraud?"
And also, I remember everyone in the compound saying you were a country girl, how come you're so capable?!
