"Iāll make a call first, then leave the child with Aunt Jia. If thereās no problem, we can set off. Itās just that for manpower, I can only contact a driver, we might still need one or two men."
Without Chuxiaās involvement, sheād be willing to risk everything to go alone.
But since Chuxia had been so dedicated to her, she had to consider not only her own safety but also Chuxiaās.
"Iāll take care of hiring manpower."
Chuxia had already thought it through. She called Houzi over, and Jia Liang followed as well.
The Bun Shop can be managed by the older sister during this period.
At the end, Wang Tianxue took out a stack of money from her bag.
"This is the money from selling my labor and my savings, not much, just two thousand six hundred. Take it, as our capital for purchasing goods."
Chuxia accepted the money without ceremony, as it was supposed to be a partnership, she wouldnāt take a cent, but this would become a burden on Tianxue.
However, she took out two hundred yuan and gave it back, "You have a child, you canāt be left without a single penny. As we agreed before, weāll both earn a salary at the beginning, and split the year-end bonus. The split will be fifty-fifty, of course, this includes losses too."
Tianxue looked at her annoyed, "As long as we bring the goods back, thereās no possibility of loss. Besides, even if the goods from the south are lost, we still have the goods from the clothing factory. Chuxia, I can listen to you on other matters, but I donāt agree with this bonus ratio. You paid for the shopfront and the initial renovations, I am aware of that. Youāve already invested so much, how can I compare? Iāll just take a twenty percent share in the store."
Even without counting the cost of the property, the clothing store they were opening would require tens of thousands in goods alone.
She only had those two thousand plus, the rest depended on Chuxia.
"The money I invested is mainly into the property, besides, your technical resources are invaluable as an investment."
Indeed, the storeās property was also purchased by Chuxia.
She certainly didnāt want to be the landlord of a successful business and have someone else benefit from her investment.
Moreover, in todayās market, it was always good to own more property.
Initially, buying the three-story building was a challenge, but once Qin Yang knew she wanted it, he personally helped her acquire it.
...............
When the clothing store opened, they needed not only a supplier but also to arrange the staff.
Chuxiaās first thought was to have Liu Na by her side.
This young woman had matured after the incident with Feng Zhong, and had been dedicated to her work at the Bun Shop.
Moreover, Liu Na had a good appearance and education, which made her quite suitable.
She also wanted to bring Qin Jianjun along, but the boy hadnāt graduated yet and had night classes.
This trip would take at least ten days to half a month; they couldnāt delay his studies.
So, she simply handed over the storeās recruitment to him, as a test.
Liu Naās job was very easy to accept, she agreed almost without hesitation.
"Mr. Lin, wherever you tell me to go, Iāll go. As long as Iām working with Mr. Lin, Iām willing to do anything."
The young girlās eyes sparkled with hope as she said these words.
"Alright, then todayās shift ends here. Go back and rest, and follow me tomorrow."
After instructing Liu Na, Chuxia also spoke to the older sister and Jia Liang.
Jia Liang was already notified and well-prepared.
"Iāll make a call in a little while, tell Houzi to come over first. There was no problem when Factory Director Su was contacted a few days ago; he even told the boss that Xiyang Food Factory has plenty of staff, and to use them as needed."
Chuxia nodded in understanding; she knew her initial batch of employees were all very handy and would definitely play a significant role.
It seems that Su Wensong knew her best after all.
On the other side, knowing that Liu Na was transferring, the staff of the restaurant bid her farewell one after another, telling her not to forget the brothers and sisters of the restaurant.
Having worked with these people for nearly a year, she had already developed feelings for them, so naturally, Liu Na wouldnāt forget.
After finishing talking to everyone, Liu Na walked over to Gao Lele.
Before, she couldnāt bring herself to lower her pride, and she also didnāt want to bring up anything about that person again.
Now that she was leaving Qinās Restaurant, some things had to be ended.
"Lele."
Gao Leleās eyes were full of smiles, "Whatās up, is there something else?"
Many words of congratulations had been said just now, and in their view, working closely with the boss undoubtedly represented reaching the pinnacle of life.
Liu Na pursed her lips and under her earnest gaze, said, "Lele, I owe you an apology. I blamed you without discriminating right from wrong regarding the Feng Zhong incident. But in my heart, Iāve always known that Feng Zhong being fired by the boss was his own fault and had nothing to do with you. On the contrary, you were the victim in that matter. Itās me..."
"Tsch, I thought it was something serious," Gao Lele interrupted her, "Thatās old news; Iāve long forgotten about it. What I really want now is for you to keep your eyes open and find a satisfactory Mr. Right."
Liu Naās lips displayed a bitter smile. She had no plans of marrying again; she already...
Right now, all she wanted was to work hard following the boss and repay his kindness.
Someone passed by, and Gao Leleās gaze was immediately drawn away.
Liu Na followed her line of sight and saw Qin Jianjun walking over to Mr. Lin, talking to her about something.
Laughing, she said, "Letās not talk about whether I can find my Mr. Right. I think your Mr. Right seems not too far away."
Gao Lele blushed from being teased and scolded her a bit.
Liu Naās smile faded, and she said earnestly, "Qin Jianjun is a good man. Though Iām not great at judging people, I believe I havenāt misjudged this time. You go for it, Iām waiting to enjoy your wedding candy."
After speaking, she didnāt wait for Gao Lele to react and ran off with a laugh.
Gao Leleās laughter turned bittersweet as she saw Qin Jianjun coming back, and she quickly readjusted her mood.
"Jianjun."
"Is there something you need, Lele?"
Qin Jianjun stood up straight, walking very neatly, which was a pleasing sight to see.
Gao Leleās heartbeat quickened, "Um, do you have time this weekend? I heard you donāt have classes on weekends."
"Is there something you need?" asked Qin Jianjun.
Indeed, he didnāt have classes on weekends.
Seeing him not immediately refuse, Gao Lele mustered her courage again and said, "I heard that the lotus leaves at Peopleās Park are out. Itās very beautiful when boating..."
"Sorry, Lele, Iām afraid I donāt have time, this weekend I need to take care of the kids."
If Aunt Jia and the others were to leave this week, his older sister would have to watch over Qinās Restaurant, and Ningning would have no one to look after her this weekend.
Although Ningning was very obedient, it was the time for him to help Aunt Jia and his aunt share the burden, not to be thinking about having fun.
Aunt Jia also had work for him.
Gao Leleās eyes lit up, "Itās okay, you can bring the kid with you and we can all play together."
"Itās better not to, I really donāt have time," Qin Jianjun refused again.
Gao Leleās bright eyes dimmed, and as she saw Qin Jianjun turning to leave, she suddenly called out to him, "Jianjun..."
