Chapter 300 Another Way of Life

Counting the days, Zhang Yunfeng has been in Jiangchuan for two years.

Although he has become an older bachelor, for him, from the hesitation and confusion when he first arrived and being dazzled by the city's sights to now completely integrating into the life in this city, the past two years have been like an incomparably beautiful dream.

Nowadays, Zhang's family no longer needs him to take care of the situation. The days of worrying about the next meal after the last one seem to have become a thing of the last century. In their big family, everyone has his own new pursuit and the dignity of being a human being.

My father, Old Man Zhang, continues to work as a material manager in the Yunxi Village Cooperative. He has a solid job and a leisurely life. My mother runs the Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop at the No. 1 Middle School. Her ambition to succeed is improving day by day, and she is managing the business very well. As the first Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop in Jiangchuan City, the No. 1 Middle School shop has become the first choice for breakfast for many students.

He is even more proud of his younger brothers and sisters.

Although Xiaoxiao is a little naughty, she is really a caring person.

Qiulan is now the general manager of Liansheng's marketing division. She is in charge of the entire Longjingyuan marketing and market expansion in six major regions across the country, and manages hundreds of employees.

Not long ago, Liansheng held a grand folk cooking competition in Lijin City, the provincial capital. Zhang Yunfeng was touched when he saw Qiulan speaking in front of reporters as the general manager on the evening news on Lijin TV. Two years ago, this elder sister followed Yunqi from being a hawker to where she is today. It was not easy. Just a few days ago, Qiulan asked him to apply for a correspondence night school student in the Department of Economics at Xiangnan University, saying that it would be good for him to learn more about business management.

Chunlan, the second sister in the family, is already sixteen years old. She is as dignified and slender as a young poplar. The increasingly affluent living conditions at home have made her more and more beautiful and fair. At first glance, you can tell that she will grow into a beautiful girl.

What makes the whole family even more proud is that this girl has worked hard since she was young, and has made it to the best middle school in the city from a remote mountain area with her own ability. Although she did not have the learning conditions that city children had before, and had some knowledge gaps, such as English. Rural children at that time simply did not have good conditions to study. As far as he knows, Chunlan used to go to school in Longwan Town, and her English class was taught by their math teacher who was only half-baked. However, even so, after coming to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, she still got the first place in the grade in every exam.

It is so difficult.

Back then, when he was 13 years old, he ran back home from school to work, just so that he and his father could support his younger siblings in school and bring honor to the Zhang family. His younger siblings have never brought shame to the family.

Yunqi, needless to say, has a broad vision and is capable, but some of his ideas and practices are incomprehensible. In fact, Zhang Yunfeng had already seen that his brother's mind was not on the catering industry, and he opened the Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Noodle Shop just to give his brother, who has little ability, a career to settle down. What made him feel gratified from the bottom of his heart was that Yunqi never forgot where he came from and the poor people in his hometown.

Of course, Zhang Yunfeng also devoted all his enthusiasm to his career, and every day he thought about how to run Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop well.

After two years of hard work, he has opened five Zhangji Qifengdu fish noodle shops, including the Ximen Street store, the Yuxian Street store, the No. 5 Middle School store, the No. Middle School store, and the No. Middle School store.

Although we cannot say that the restaurant is packed with customers, the business is very good. I would not dare to boast about how good my business acumen is, but the main reason is that Qifengdu Fish Rice Noodles is really the favorite of Jiangchuan people. By choosing the right direction and having the opportunity, the road ahead is bright and easy. Zhang Ji has undoubtedly established a good reputation in the hearts of Jiangchuan citizens.

Zhang Yunfeng is actually very satisfied with this business, but Yunqi always says that this is just a small business. He also said that he wants to set up a catering company, with scale, standards and systems, and to run direct-operated chains and franchise chains.

Zhang Yunfeng didn't quite understand.

Zhang Yunqi cracked melon seeds and said, "Think about it. Although there are five stores now, these five stores are all operated independently. Except for the decoration and signs, there is no unified training for employees, no unified management concept, and no unified service standards. They all operate independently. Wouldn't you be very tired as a boss? Worrying about everything, the expansion and reproduction capabilities are very limited." Zhang Yunqi said, "If we can set up a company, we can connect these stores in series, centrally plan and organize the marketing network, adopt the franchise and direct sales model, use the synergy effect, speed up our capital turnover, strengthen the bargaining power with franchisees, and comprehensively support logistics, so as to achieve economies of scale and promote Zhang's nationwide. By that time, what will five stores count for? What we want is 5 franchise stores across the country."

Zhang Yunfeng was so irritated by Yunqi's words that he could not sit still.

Since then, a new ambition has risen in his heart. He feels that since he was too poor in the past, he will be satisfied if his life improves. Now it seems that he should let go and develop his own career.

The first thing to do is to raise funds for the new company.

According to Yunqi's idea, in addition to the existing assets of the five Zhangji Qifengdu fishmeal shops, another 5 yuan would be invested to operate the company, and the dividends would be divided 50-, with the two brothers taking half. Zhang Yunfeng did not agree. Although Yunqi did not have time to manage, he had paid for the fishmeal shops, and without Yunqi, the Zhangji brand would not have been successful, so he had to let his brother take the lion's share.

Of course, he has higher aspirations in his career. Zhang Yunfeng, an "older" young man who is about to turn 25, is already at the age of . Emotionally, he is forced by his two elders at home and dares not neglect his love.

Since the beginning of the year, Zhang Guorui, the party secretary of Yunxi Village, has not interfered in the affairs between him and Xiaonan.

Zhang Yunfeng vaguely guessed that it was his younger brother Yunqi who was behind this. At first, he felt uncomfortable and thought that Zhang Guorui was a powerful person! But then he changed his mind and felt a little discouraged. What right did he have to blame Zhang Guorui?
If there hadn't been a great success in his family, why would Zhang Guorui have been interested in him, considering the mess his family had made? Why would he have married his precious daughter to him?
Although the country has vigorously advocated freedom of love and broken feudal ideas since the founding of New China, the old tradition of marrying someone of equal social status that has been passed down for thousands of years has its rationality as long as it can still exist. There is nothing wrong for an old father to want his daughter to live a good life.

Of course, without the barrier of Zhang Guorui, he and Zhang Xiaonan no longer had to worry about gains and losses. In addition to attending classes at school, she would go to his shop to help out in the rest of the time. In the past, Zhang Xiaonan ate in the school cafeteria, but now she would go home with him to eat at night. They were from the same village and had a good relationship. Xiaonan was very affectionate to the old and young in the family, calling the elderly in a sweet way. Whenever she had time on weekends, she would tutor Chunlan and Xiaoxiao in their homework. Several younger brothers and sisters called her their nominal sister-in-law.

During that period, Zhang Yunfeng was happy. He felt that the whole world was smiling and life became different, like in his dreams.

As his relationship with Zhang Xiaonan became more and more stable, their marriage was naturally put on the agenda. This was the biggest worry for the Zhang family. In September, Zhang Guorui made a special trip to the city to discuss his marriage with Xiaonan with his parents.

Yunqi was also there that day.

Although he is still just a young boy, he has the final say in this family.

Yunqi did not interfere in his marriage with Zhang Xiaonan.

The agreement was to get married on New Year's Day.

What made Zhang Yunfeng uncomfortable was that Yunqi proposed to separate the family.

　The plot is too exaggerated and may not be that interesting. As the protagonist of this book, Zhang Yunfeng has not appeared for a long time, so I have to introduce his current situation.
