With that thought in mind, Lu Yang hurried towards Chen's Restaurant. Once there, he ordered a table of food.

After finishing his meal, he said to the waiter, "Could you please introduce me to your boss? I'd like to sell two storefronts."

The young man, with a toothpick in his mouth, said, "It's Chu Xiangyu's house, the boss said he'd take it all for 80,000."

Lu Yang's lips twitched. Just as he thought, Du Miao wasn't too greedy; 80,000 wasn't a low amount.

So he said directly, "Then I'll have Sister Chu come over after she's discharged from the hospital."

After paying, he hurriedly returned to the hospital. Upon hearing the news, Chu Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness."

"You should hurry up and move the goods before they come out." With that, she handed the shop keys to Lu Yang.

After finishing his meal, Lu Yang immediately found a phone at the hospital and asked Cheng Lin and the others to come over.

They didn't sleep all night, making three round trips to transport all of Chu Xiangyu's goods to the provincial capital's warehouse.

When they returned to the county, Chu Xiangyu had already been discharged from the hospital and went to Chen's Restaurant accompanied by Yao Lili.

After seeing the purchase contract, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He said helplessly, "Our money is all tied up in the goods. I will definitely make up the difference to you once I have the money."

Chu Xiangyu smiled and said, "I'll pay you back whenever I have the money. I've saved up quite a bit over the years, so I don't need this little bit of money."

Lu Yang still felt a little apologetic. After confirming that she was alright, the group immediately helped her with the discharge procedures and then returned to the county town together.

Yao Lili strongly urged Chu Xiangyu to recover from her injuries at the Lu family's residence before heading south, otherwise she would be too lonely in Guangzhou.

Chu Xiangyu felt uneasy and uncomfortable.

Lu's mother specially cooked a pot of chicken soup for her. Chu Xiangyu was flattered and, after drinking the chicken soup, chatted with Yao Lili in the room.

Just as things settled down on their end, the Chu family members were also released after paying their bail.

Chu Xiangyu's elder brother, Chu Dawei, immediately led his men to Lijiaren's shop.

He learned his lesson and decided not to hit anyone this time, but he could surround the shop and prevent Chu Xiangyu from doing business.

This way, they can force Chu Xiangyu to pay, and Chu Xiangyu and they can't afford to drag it out.

However, when he arrived at the store, he found that there were no clothes left in the store, and several teenagers were cleaning the store.

"What's going on? Doesn't this shop belong to Chu Xiangyu?"

Chu Dawei stepped forward and asked.

One of the young waiters looked up at him, snorted coldly, and didn't answer.

Just as Chu Dawei was about to lose his temper, the person next to him reminded him that this was a waiter from Chen's Restaurant.

He was immediately speechless and asked in confusion, "How come a waiter from Chen's Restaurant is in Chu Xiangyu's shop?"

The others had just been released and were unaware of the truth.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Dawei handed a cigarette to the young waiter: "Brother, let me ask you something, what exactly is going on?"

The young man took the cigarette and took a puff: "Chu Xiangyu sold the house to our boss."

Chu Dawei's mind went blank for a moment; he really hadn't expected Chu Xiangyu to run away.

He was so angry he could have teeth. How dare that bitch run away? Once he caught her, he would definitely break her legs with his own hands!

"Where did she go?"

Chu Dawei, barely suppressing his anger, questioned him.

The young shop assistant sneered, "Want to buy intelligence? 50 yuan a piece."

Chu Dawei said with a pained expression, "I don't have that much money on me."

"Why are you asking if you don't have money? Get lost, don't delay our work."

The young man rolled his eyes, threw his cigarette butt on the ground, and turned back into the shop to continue working.

The others didn't dare utter a word and just looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Lu Yang and Cheng Lin had already gone to the electronics store in the provincial capital to restock. After the restaurant reopened, Cheng Lin continued to work at the restaurant.

Ge San, Lu Yang, the Lin family of three, Yao Lili, and Chu Xiangyu drove south together and arrived in Guangzhou on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Chu Xiangyu quickly bought an apartment in the same neighborhood where Qi Kang lived, and Yao Lili insisted on living there to keep Chu Xiangyu company.

After finding a place to stay, she planned to rest for a while before buying a storefront nearby to start a business.

Lu Yang ran around helping Chu Xiangyu complete all the formalities, and Chu Xiangyu gave Lu Yang her home phone number.

The remaining people took charge of the opening of the four stores. When Lu Yang entered the bookstore, he found that it was already filled with books.

Most of them are magazines and comic books, such as "Zhiyin", "People's Literature", "Harvest", "October", "Contemporary" and "World Literature". Almost every magazine store that sells them has them.

Zhou Zhimin was sitting in the shop engrossed in reading "Popular Cinema" when Lu Yang and the others walked in without him noticing.

Lin Hongshan walked over to him and said with a smile, "I thought you were staying at home on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. I didn't expect to see you here."

Zhou Zhimin put the book aside and said, "This book is very interesting. It contains a lot of information about movies, many of which I haven't seen."

After he finished speaking, he saw Lu Yang and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Lu, how is it? Although I've basically spent all the money you gave me, I've still bought quite a few things."

"People have to do wholesale with these kinds of magazines, otherwise they won't make any money."

Lu Yang expressed his understanding: "You've done a good job. Are you interested in running this store?"

Zhou Zhimin thought for a moment and said, "That works too. Why don't you hire someone else to help me manage it? It's usually quite relaxed, but it must be tiring when moving books."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "If you have a suitable candidate, you can confess yourself. You will be paid 500 a month as the store manager, and 300 for the employees."

Zhou Zhimin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Okay, it's decided then."

Lu Yang then discussed business matters with him, looked at his book purchase list, checked the accounts, and understood the bookstore's cash flow before hurriedly leaving.

Ge San inspected the other three stores, confirmed that there were no problems, and then put up the recruitment sign.

Lin's mother and Lin Hongmin helped him with the work, and in less than two days they interviewed more than twenty people.

Thirteen of them had worked in restaurants, but in the end, Ge San only kept five.

When Lu Yang and Lin Hongshan entered the restaurant, they saw the five people.

Ge Sanchong and the others waved and said, "We interviewed more than twenty people, and only these five are reliable."

"These days, although there are many people who come to work, not many are suitable for working in a restaurant."

"Some of them were filthy, with dirt under their fingernails, and were not hygienic at all."

Lu Yang sighed: "Keep recruiting. Better to have none than to have bad ones."

"I did the math, and a store needs to hire at least six people."

"There are two waiters on each floor, one chef and one kitchen helper, one receptionist and one cleaner."

Ge San stroked his chin and said speechlessly, "Thirteen more are needed."
