2: 30 PM.
Ye Xiaochen drove off.
She went to Xianquan Restaurant first.
Xianquan Restaurant had a lot of customers now. Even at this time, there were still many customers.
"Xiaochen, I think it's urgent to open a second branch of Xianquan Restaurant."
Li Jiaren often stayed at Xianquan Restaurant.
He was here this time as well.
That was the first thing Li Jiaren said when he saw Ye Xiaochen.
"Yes."
Ye Xiaochen nodded.
According to her research, most of the customers who came to Xianquan Restaurant were from other places.
Jing County was only so big and there were only so many rich people.
And a meal at Xianquan Restaurant was not cheap. It cost a white-collar worker a month's salary.
Therefore, many of Xianquan Restaurant's customers came from the surrounding counties of Yang City.
Xianquan Restaurant had too many customers now and was under a lot of pressure.
If they could open another branch, they would be able to divert the customers and reduce the pressure.
"Then where do you think we should build it?"
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
"It would be best to build it in Sha City. It is the center of the Southern Province and there are many rich people there. But it is difficult for our influence to reach there. Once something happens, it will be too far away. So, we can only build it in Yang City. Yang City is more reliable. Although it will affect our restaurant greatly, it is necessary."
Li Jiaren said.
Because of its geographical location, the Yang City restaurant would gradually become a hot spot and the Jing County restaurant would be greatly affected.
"Xiaochen, if we open the Yang City restaurant, do you really want Wang Shaobing and the others to join us?"
Li Jiaren glanced at Ye Xiaochen and suddenly asked.
Ye Xiaochen knew who the Wang Shaobing he was talking about was. It was one of his collaborators in Yang City.
They all owned supermarkets and other businesses in Yang City. They were even richer than Li Jiaren and the others. Otherwise, they would not have gotten close to Wang Shuisheng.
They had not stopped supplying vegetables to Wang Shaobing's supermarkets, but the quantity had decreased.
Once the Yangshi store opened, the supply would be cut off.
Ye Xiaochen allowed them to invest in the Yangshi store as a form of compensation.
Ye Xiaochen was a sentimental person.
Back then, they had asked for Ye Xiaochen's vegetables. Although it was because of Wang Shuisheng, it was still a great help to him.
Moreover, Ye Xiaochen also considered that Wang Shaobing and the others had a lot of connections in Yang City. With their help, the opening of the Yang City branch would be much smoother.
In this world, one must have a network of connections.
Only by enriching this network of connections could he strengthen himself.
This was the so-called interest group.
As long as the interest group he was in was strong enough, even if he didn't do anything, there would naturally be people who would unite around him to protect their interests.
Now, he already had such awareness.
Although there were fewer shareholders and they could get more profits, no matter how much money they made, it was still the same.
What he needed was to build up his forces.
"Yes, they're only investing in the Yang City branch. I'll take some of the shares."
Ye Xiaochen nodded.
"Xiaochen, that's not what I meant. Since they're investing in the Yang City branch, we have to consider the overall situation. We can't let you pay for it alone."
Li Jiaren hurriedly said.
If he let Ye Xiaochen pay for it alone, wouldn't that mean that they were not on the same side as Ye Xiaochen?
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Even if he lost some profits, he had to follow in Ye Xiaochen's footsteps.
He knew that all of this was because of Ye Xiaochen.
Otherwise, it would be a castle in the air.
Li Jiaren could see it clearly.
"We'll talk about the shares when the time comes. I think we should find a time to get together. Let's invite Wang Shaobing and the others."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
Wang Shaobing and the others had contacted Ye Xiaochen a long time ago and had been asking about the Xianquan branch in Yang City.
They did not know where they got the news from.
With their intelligence, it was impossible that they did not see the huge benefits involved.
Furthermore, they had a partnership with Ye Xiaochen. Once the Yang City branch opened, this partnership would be broken.
This was the tie that maintained their relationship with Ye Xiaochen.
That was why they were beating around the bush, hoping to invest in the Yang City branch. They did not want a lot of shares and would not pay less. They just wanted to be a part of it.
More importantly, they were only investing in the Yang City branch. They did not have shares in the Xianquan branch or the Jingxian branch.
Li Jiaren nodded. This matter was settled.
After leaving Purple Mountain Villa, Ye Xiaochen called Wang Shaobing and the others as she drove to inform them.
Wang Shaobing and the others were naturally overjoyed.
They had been waiting for news all this time.
Ten minutes later.
The car arrived at the Goya Music Training Center.
The car stopped on the side of the road.
Unlike the big cities, there were no parking spots on the side of the road and no traffic tickets. As long as it did not affect traffic, it was fine.
The car was so domineering that it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
He went up the stairs to the third floor and soon arrived at the training center.
He looked at his phone. It was 3: 50 pm.
It was polite to arrive early.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He hurried out of the training center and looked at the caller ID. It was Mayor Li Zixun.
He picked up the call and found out that the expert group wanted to talk to him about the Herb of Purification.
Ye Xiaochen agreed immediately.
He hung up the phone and went back into the training center. He saw Liang Wenjing walking out with a lesson plan.
"Ms. Liang."
Ye Xiaochen took the initiative to greet her.
"Let's go to my office."
Liang Wenjing carefully scrutinized Ye Xiaochen, smiled slyly, and then said.
Ye Xiaochen was puzzled by her stare and was a little puzzled.
Inside the office.
Liang Wenjing and Ye Xiaochen sat opposite each other on the sofa.
There was a cup of steaming hot tea on the coffee table.
The two bags of pickled cabbage that Ye Xiaochen brought were also placed on the side.
Liang Jingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had never seen a guy give a girl pickled cabbage.
He is indeed unique!
"Ye Xiaochen, you really don't recognize me?"
Liang Wenjing suddenly smiled.
If not for the facial features and the name, it would be the same too.
It was hard for her to imagine that the young man with an otherworldly temperament in front of her was her old classmate from junior high school who looked dull and honest.
Life was unbelievable.
A country bumpkin turned into a Mr. Perfect.
An ugly duckling turned into a swan.
Cinderella turned into a beautiful princess.
Reality was just that ridiculous.
Ye Xiaochen was stunned. She didn't know him. She absolutely didn't know him.
He took a closer look and could not remember anything.
"Aiya, I suddenly feel like crying. I recognized my old classmate but my old classmate has forgotten me."
Liang Wenjing covered her mouth and laughed.
"Old classmate?"
Ye Xiaochen's eyes widened.
Naturally, it couldn't be a college classmate.
It couldn't be a primary school classmate either.
It could only be a middle school or high school classmate.
However, after he carefully combed through his memories, he couldn't help but cry.
Damn, he didn't even have an impression of her.
It was such a failure to study to this extent!
When Liang Wenjing saw Ye Xiaochen's expression, she immediately knew that Ye Xiaochen still didn't recognize her.
She immediately smiled and said, "I'm not going to play riddles with you. Actually, it's normal that you don't recognize me. After all, I've changed too much. Do you still remember the fat black girl who always scored last in exams and loved to cry?"
Ye Xiaochen, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea and almost sprayed it on Liang Wenjing.
He looked at Liang Wenjing in shock and pointed at her. After a long while, he stammered, "F * ck, fat black girl, y-you're the fat black girl, Liang Wenjing."
He felt like the sky was falling down.
