Witch Special
Chapter 227: Cooking Competition - Happy Cooperation
But the problem is that Lin Zhenxi doesn't seem to have this orientation.
However, Lin Zhenxi is actually quite indifferent and even averse to relationships. She knows that the nature of her work, while fun, is also very dangerous. She never knows when she could be gone. It can be said that every trip to another world is an adventure with an unknown fate. Instead of leaving behind precious bonds with others, agreeing to spend the rest of their lives together, and then disappearing, it is better to keep a distance from the beginning and continue on alone.
Anyway, she is not alone. At least she has Yanyan to accompany her, so she doesn’t have to worry about being too lonely.
So Lin Zhenxi, who was a little too slow, quickly explained: "Ah, Yan Miao, don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean that. I don't... uh, I don't hate you, I just didn't mean that." Because he realized that his wording might have a bad meaning, Lin Zhenxi quickly stopped and changed to a slightly vaguer one.
However, this was enough to let Yan Qing know that it was her own misunderstanding. Lin Zhenxi was not interested in her, but he simply did not realize that his actions would lead to misunderstanding.
To put it bluntly, she is a straight woman who flirts and then doesn't care, an emotional idiot who is slow to react. If you take her words too seriously, you will definitely be the one who suffers.
Yan Qing sighed and said, "I know, I know. I actually misunderstood you. I'm such a fool. I feel like I've been infected by you, meow!"
Her cat has a bit of a gnashing-teeth feel to it.
Lin Zhenxi had experienced being pursued by others before, truly. But now, it seemed like she was the one taking the initiative. Even if it was unintentional, Lin Zhenxi didn't know how to react, so she could only put on a silly smile to avoid a fight.
The expression on her face at this moment was very much like Saitama's.
"Hey."o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
With this incident, Lin Zhenxi almost forgot about the person she was chatting with. However, when she turned her head to look at Zhou Meili, she found that Zhou Meili was staring at the black cat in surprise, with her eyes fixed on it.
"Sister Meili, are you interested in Yanyan?"
"Did your cat speak just now?" Zhou Meili raised her finger and pointed at the black cat and asked.
Lin Zhenxi didn't even need to say anything. Black Cat put his hands on his hips and said, "What's wrong, meow? Talking animals are common in New Blue City, right?"
"But..." She had only seen a cat that could talk, fly, and create things out of thin air!
Zhou Meili was stuck there for a long time, her eyes shifting several times between Black Maomao and the golden phoenix hairpin in Yan Qing's hair. Then, as if she had figured it out, she nodded and said, "Yes, that makes sense."
That golden phoenix hairpin was made by Lin Zhenxi with his bare hands right in front of her. The extraordinary power that Lin Zhenxi possessed was indeed much more exaggerated than her qigong.
No matter where you are, strength is the most intuitive wealth, and the strong should have more. With the strength Lin Zhenxi has shown, even if she moved a mountain of gold, it would be reasonable.
So, Lin Zhenxi was serious. She really had a huge amount of money but didn't know where to spend it, so she planned to invest it in them and help them rebuild Juxialou in Xinlan City in one go.
The payback period for a hotel is calculated in years; a return within ten years is considered a successful investment. Furthermore, Lin Zhenxi only wants dividends, not decision-making power. As long as the restaurant makes money, he won't care about anything else. How is this any different from just giving them money?
Zhou Meili had absolute confidence in Liu Angxing's cooking skills; she never imagined they would go hungry. Even if there might be short-term difficulties, as long as they were in a place where others needed to eat, they would eventually rise.
Because Liu Angxing, her man, is the best chef in any world, and she firmly believes it.
So even if Lin Zhenxi were to come and invest with money, Zhou Meili wouldn't have any doubts about whether she could afford this favor. Since Lin Zhenxi was well-intentioned, why wouldn't they accept it?
Liu Angxing provided the technology, and Lin Zhenxi provided the funds. In this world, Liu Angxing fulfilled his dream of turning Juxialou into the world's best restaurant, while Lin Zhenxi received a large sum of money in return. Everyone got what they wanted, isn't that great?
That's right, that's it!
"In that case, let's have a happy cooperation." Zhou Meili took Lin Zhenxi's hand, held it tightly and shook it up and down twice.
Zhou Meili's tone, which seemed to indicate she had made the final decision, made Lin Zhenxi feel a little insecure. For such a big matter, didn't she need to discuss it with Liu Angxing who was still cooking in front?
However, when Lin Zhenxi asked this question, Zhou Meili showed a smile that could be described as a happy, troubled smile. Holding her cheek, she said, "He... doesn't care about anything other than cooking. He won't object to anything I decide."
"Hey~ you two have such a good relationship." Lin Zhenxi exclaimed.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that the situation is similar in her family. Dad Lin is in charge of the outside affairs and Mom Lin is in charge of the inside affairs. Dad Lin always makes the final decision on major matters, but at home Dad Lin is very obedient to his wife. He does whatever he is asked to do and never talks back to her.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that their relationship remained stable. In any case, from Lin Zhenxi's impression, they had never experienced a midlife crisis or the seven-year itch, and their family atmosphere had always been harmonious.
Well, that must have something to do with my parents being reassured. If I had a troublesome child, the family atmosphere wouldn't be good. Thinking about it that way, I've made a significant contribution to this family. That's pretty impressive (puts hands on hips, proud for a moment).
Since Zhou Meili said so, Lin Zhenxi took it as the truth.
But when it comes to business and contract-signing, neither Lin Zhenxi nor Zhou Meili know much. Even though Zhou Meili's family used to run a restaurant, and she's learned some of the tricks of the trade, her experience is only enough for her to run a small restaurant like this one. If she were given a large restaurant, she knows she wouldn't be able to manage it.
Needless to say, we definitely need a professional team, and then she can just be the boss.
But that's okay. The "company" will provide all the services needed to help those from the outside world integrate into this world, including, but not limited to, enrolling them in closed academies for compulsory zero-sex education, helping them understand the differences between this world and their own, enabling them to acquire skills necessary for survival in society, and connecting them with job opportunities to help them find employment. Providing those from the outside world with professional business information and even drafting business contracts is a crucial aspect of this service.
Many foreigners possess special skills, and after entering society, they prefer not to work on assembly lines, but rather to start their own businesses. However, foreigners, especially those with animal-like characteristics, face significant difficulties completing business registration. This is when "Company" comes to the rescue, helping foreigners select stores, register with the business administration department, and even hire employees, all through the "Company" platform.
The reason why the "company" hall is so lively is not only because it is full of foreigners who are sending messages to their hometowns, but more of them are here to handle business.
Whether it was Lin Zhenxi's special envoy identity or Zhou Meili's foreigner identity, they could both handle business through the "company." Using the "company" channel meant they didn't have to worry about anything; they just had to prepare the people and the money, and the "company" would take care of everything else.
However, Lin Zhenxi actually has no money now. She only has a one cubic meter high-purity gold block. If she really wants to invest, she has to exchange the gold into money first.
So Lin Zhenxi made an appointment with Zhou Meili for tomorrow. Because Lin Zhenxi planned to go home the day after tomorrow, he wanted to get this matter done tomorrow.
Actually, she had to go to the "company" today. After all, she was unconscious when she returned from the previous world, and she hadn't yet completed the final handover work after completing the commission. As it happened, she might as well exchange some gold for cash when she went there today.
Pawning, mortgages, and the exchange of goods for money also fall within the scope of the "company." Any service that can provide convenience to foreigners can be found at the "company," making it even more versatile than the universal angels used for entertainment.
The company provides opportunity, not a nanny feeding every foreigner until they're fat. If a foreigner's startup fails, the "company" can at best help them apply for unemployment benefits and see if they can find a new job that requires no initial capital, but it won't cover their bankruptcy. But what if the foreigner still wants to make a comeback? They have to trade their valuables for cash.
The company's pawnshops and trading centers exist precisely to meet this need. They accept anything that can be measured in money, even in unlimited quantities, with no regard for inflation.
And gold is obviously also within the scope of acquisition of the trading center.
