Chapter 177 Chairman! Why are you here?
"Do you think I want to do such a thankless job? What benefit can I get from introducing Li Bing to the maid shop? Don't tell Boss Ya. If I didn't want to help her, I wouldn't let her work part-time with me."
"Is this really a help?" Chen Yuan was a little confused.
"Of course! She used to do a lot of part-time jobs, such as tutoring, waitressing, and handing out flyers. Those jobs were tiring and unprofitable. Now she has air conditioning and a safe environment, which is better than standing on the street shivering in the cold," Wei Zhen pouted and continued in a low voice, "and now she has a considerable income, so she will probably have enough living expenses for four years of college."
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Yafeng found out?"
"What can we do..." Wei Zhen's expression froze, and he looked at Chen Yuan and said, "To put it bluntly, the boss is just wishful thinking. You can't stop Li Bing from doing something just because of his personal opinion, right? It has nothing to do with him. Aren't we all just ordinary classmates?"
Wei Zhen thought very clearly.
If Quan Yafeng was not mature enough, he would be blamed. This is all Li Bing's personal choice. She is not someone else's appendage. She can talk and eat, and her legs are on her own!
"You feel good complaining to me. Now we both have to bear this secret together." Chen Yuan was speechless.
"How wonderful it is, to betray each other together."
"You didn't ask me to come to the store just to let me see her, did you?"
"This……"
"You're riding a horse!"
Chen Yuan immediately understood everything, grabbed Wei Zhen's neck and was about to give him a beating.
The sound of "tapping" footsteps on the solid wooden floor.
Like the beautiful notes played by fingers on the keys of a blackboard.
A white dress floated down to the side of Chen Yuan's sofa.
"Wei Zhen, can I borrow your hairband?"
This familiar voice startled Chen Yuan, and he quickly let go of the hand that was strangling Wei Zhen.
"It's okay. Don't be so anxious. You can just throw it on my table in the dressing room."
“I’m afraid of losing it.”
Li Bing's voice was so light that it sounded like a little lark, with a slightly childish baby voice, so delicate that one would almost want to strangle the bird to death.
Wei Zhen took the hairband she had taken off.
"Student Chen is here too."
Chen Yuan was sitting upright, pretending to be invisible, but he was suddenly called and stopped moving.
unexpected.
Li Bing not only knew him, but also took the initiative to ask him a question.
"Ah... yes, I'll come over to play with you."
"Very good, I'll go down first then."
After saying that, Li Bing walked down the escalator slowly by himself.
"What are you doing here?"
"She must have gone to the basement dressing room to prepare for her lessons. She has to go to tutoring in the evening."
"Didn't you say you earn enough to live on?"
"Who knows her? I asked her several times, and she just said it was useful to save money."
"What a good girl..."
Chen Yuan was in awe. You know, the list of scholarships for this quarter had been released before the winter vacation, and Li Bing got the full amount, and he worked part-time jobs everywhere while studying so hard.
Girls like this are really worthy of respect.
Quan Yafeng, this beast, has a good eye for picking girls, apart from anything else. From this perspective, Chen Yuan feels that Quan Yafeng is not worthy of Li Bing.
……
Here, Chen Yuan and Wei Zhen were discussing.
In the lobby on the first floor, a group of people in formal attire pushed the door open and walked in.
There were three men and two women. The leading woman, who was wearing a tight skirt and a pair of sparkling earrings, looked around as soon as she entered the room. "Hello, guest. May I ask who you are?"
The store manager who was greeting customers behind the door was a little confused. She could tell at a glance that these people were not here to play in the store. They looked more like official supervisors.
For such people, shops, big or small, usually treat them as enemies, fearing that they will be fined if they do not meet the standards.
"Hello, we are from Bauhinia Investment Company."
"investment company?"
The store manager was even more confused.
Then, another man with a striking look pushed the door open and walked in.
"Boss, this is the location I chose. It's backed by the commercial street, faces the moat, and has a dragon and phoenix on the corner! It's really a rare and good place."
"It's really good." The leading woman nodded.
"Wait, what on earth are you doing? What site selection!?"
The store manager stopped several people who were about to go in, frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"Oh, you are the owner of this store," the bald man looked over, "your lease is about to expire, I plan to take over this place and start my own business."
"You're talking nonsense! I just finished talking to the owner a few days ago. Look at how much business our store has. How could I possibly transfer it to you? What are you talking about?"
"No matter how good the talk is, it doesn't count. I've already signed the contract, little girl," the bald man took out a printed document from his briefcase, "I've already transferred the advance payment."
"How can it be!?"
The manager of the maid shop took the contract with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
But when she finished reading it, she was stunned as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
These people were already chatting and touring the entire structure of the maid shop, saying things like "This second floor is nice and can be pushed up to make a glass mast", "There's a booth in the center to display the products", "The place is spacious" and so on as they walked deeper into the shop.
The store manager seemed to have lost all his strength and did not try to stop it.
After a long time, she finally ran to the counter, picked up her mobile phone, and called the owner of the shop as if she had found a life-saving straw.
A maid shop is a business that requires huge investment.
This store was opened by the store manager and her husband. They had worked abroad together and had some savings after returning, so they thought about doing industrial business. After three years of operation, the store has earned back the initial investment and has just started to make a profit.
If we transfer it now and move to a new location, wouldn’t that be the end of the store manager?
You have to know that customer base is something that is cultivated over a long period of time, and if you make a fuss once, most of them will be lost.
Moreover, the prices of shops in Lanjing are getting higher and higher, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money. That is why the store manager has been negotiating with the owner for many days and just about to accept the rent increase of more than 10%.
The call is connected.
The store manager asked something in a hurried tone, but the answer she got was like a bucket of cold water poured on her.
In an instant, all hope was lost.
"How could you do this? You clearly agreed!"
……
Chen Yuan and Wei Zhengang walked down the stairs.
"I say, why don't we find some time to go on a picnic together? When Quan Yafeng and the others come back, you can bring your girlfriend..."
"Picnic? I don't know if my girlfriend would be happy with that."
This suggestion is not bad, but Jiang Ning probably doesn’t want the students in the school to know that she is in love with him... Chen Yuan thought so.
exactly.
At this time, a group of people walked up the stairs.
The woman with earrings who was in the lead looked up and immediately saw Chen Yuan.
Like a conditioned reflex, she blurted out: "Chairman!"
This exclamation made half of the hall quiet. Wei Zhen poked his head out from behind Chen Yuan, looking confused.
