Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Guo Yongliang did not return to Yuan County until early March.

Bai Zhenzhu had already had the furniture factory's delivery driver take the blueprints for the office building to Guo Yongliang.

She drew inspiration from the design style of Hong Kong. After Guo Yongliang showed it to his brother-in-law, he called back specifically to praise Bai Zhenzhu.

Judging from his tone, as long as the few construction sites he has are completed, he will definitely not have to worry about orders later.

The day after Guo Yongliang returned to Yuan County, which happened to be Saturday, Bai Zhenzhu took Shuo Shuo and Li to the furniture factory.

Guo Yongliang knew that the mother and son would come, so the whole family stayed at the factory in the morning and didn't go anywhere else.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Guo Yongliang rushed over from afar and picked up Shuo Shuo in his arms.

Laughing heartily:

“Oh, godson, I, Lao Guo, have gained another son.”

After saying that, he called his son over:

“Zicheng, come here. This is Shuoshuo, your parents’ godson. He’ll be your younger brother from now on.”

Guo Zicheng clearly already knew, and shouted with a smile:

"Little brother, come down here, I'll take you to my room to play."

Guo Yongliang then put Shuo Shuo down.

Shuo Shuo finally had a chance to speak:

"Godfather, brother, where's my godmother?"

Ge Minjing came out of the house, beaming from ear to ear:

"Godmother is here, godmother is here."

"Oh my, Shuo Shuo looks just like a pearl. When he grows up, he'll be the envy of countless young girls!"

Shuo Shuo obediently greets people:

"Godmother."

"Oh!" Ge Minjing hurriedly and warmly invited the mother and son into the house.

Upon entering, you'll find a large living room furnished with a brand-new sofa.

Guo Zicheng pulled Shuo Shuo upstairs to his room to play.

A woman wearing an apron brought out a pot of tea; she appeared to be the nanny Ge Minjing had hired.

Both he and his wife are very busy now, and with children and elderly people at home, they really need someone to help with cooking and cleaning.

Ge Minjing then brought out some fruit, melon seeds, and other snacks, and also took a plate of snacks upstairs.

Guo Yongliang couldn't wait to say:

"The construction sites over there are progressing smoothly, so there's no need to worry about orders."

"By the way, Pearl, do you know how to design hotels and clubs?"

Bai Zhenzhu's eyes flickered slightly:

"I've never designed one before, but I can give it a try."

Just two months before her rebirth, she had worked cleaning at a newly renovated four-star hotel in Yuan City.

She was completely stunned by the hotel's interior decorations and thought it was a legendary palace.

Now she has read many decoration magazines and books, and has some ideas of her own for both home and commercial decoration.

When he heard her say that he could give it a try, Guo Yongliang slapped his thigh, knowing that the deal was most likely done.

"Haha, girl, you're just being modest. I know when you say you can try, it means you can do it."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, inside information: a large hotel is going to be built in Chengdu. If we can win this project, even if it's just the lobby area, it will be a qualitative leap for our company."

"Then, we'll go and submit...yes, bid."

"Girl, you should study this carefully."

Guo Yongliang's statement means that the opportunity has been handed to him.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Guo."

Lunch was prepared by the nanny; it was all home-style cooking, and it tasted pretty good.

During the meal, Ge Minjing went back to her room and brought out a small box.

White Pearl recognized it immediately as the box from the jewelry store where she bought the gold necklace.

Sure enough, Ge Minjing opened the box, took out a small gold lock, and hung it around Shuo Shuo's neck.

"I don't know what Shuo Shuo likes. I just think gold is a good thing. Shuo Shuo, do you like it?"

"like."

Shuo Shuo has already been adopted by a godmother once, so he won't need Bai Zhenzhu's teachings this time.

He picked up his drink cup and said loudly to Guo Yongliang and Ge Minjing:

"Thank you, godfather and godmother. I toast you and wish you good health and success in your work."

Guo Yongliang laughed heartily:

"This kid is good; he's got potential."

Ge Minjing also smiled and praised:

"Shuo Shuo is so clever, Pearl, your good fortune is yet to come."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Zicheng is smart too. I heard his grades are excellent, and he's always first in the class."

No parent dislikes having their child praised.

Guo Yongliang and Ge Minjing drank the wine offered by Shuo Shuo, and Ge Minjing couldn't help but hug and kiss Shuo Shuo.

They became godparents, bringing the two families even closer together.

Later, when Guo Yongliang discussed business, he usually went to hot pot restaurants.

The hot pot restaurant had a dismal first month, barely breaking even.

After enduring a month of hardship, more people started going to eat there in the second month.

Especially in the evening, the venue is almost always packed.

Gradually, Haoweidao Hot Pot Restaurant became popular in Yuan County.

This is the first hot pot restaurant in Yuan County, and the food is indeed delicious. Many young people like to come here to eat with their friends.

Sometimes if you go late, there aren't even any seats available, and you have to wait.

That evening, Bai Zhenzhu went to check out the hot pot restaurant.

It was only seven o'clock, and the store was indeed full.

Old Man Bai was wearing a black vest and dressed neatly, carrying a teapot as he walked through the lobby.

He's really busy now. He's at Bai Chengxiang's place in the morning, and then he comes to the hot pot restaurant in the afternoon. He's busy helping out with things like pouring tea and getting bowls and chopsticks, having a great time.

He looked even more energetic than he did back in his hometown.

Liu Fang was also busy placing orders.

Bai Zhenzhu parked the car on the side of the road and locked it. Seeing that some tables were empty, she took a plate of melon seeds from the counter and went over.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. The melon seeds and tea are free."

I looked up and saw several familiar faces.

Nie Lei and his parents, the girl next to them is the same one from last time.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled naturally:

"So it's Comrade Nie. Are you out for dinner with your family?"

Nie Lei was also taken aback:

"Yes."

The white pearl did not linger:

"Please wait a moment, my sister-in-law will be here shortly to take your order."

After saying that, she turned around and went to do other things.

It took Nie Lei a lot of effort to pull his gaze away from that slender figure.

Qiao Ling, who was standing nearby, asked curiously:

"Brother Lei, you two know each other?"

Before Nie Lei could speak, his mother immediately said:

"It was she who bought Lili's clothing store."

She glanced strangely in Bai Zhenzhu's direction as she spoke:

"Isn't she a clothes seller? What's she doing here?"

Just then, Old Man Bai came over to pour tea for their table.

Hearing Mother Nie's words, Old Man Bai said smugly:

“This shop also belongs to my daughter. The clothing store, the restaurant, and the braised meat shop all belong to my daughter.”

Mother Nie was taken aback.

Somewhat stunned:

"I was wondering why the name of this hot pot restaurant sounded so familiar. Turns out it's the same as those restaurants near the train station."

Old Man Bai puffed out his chest with great pride:

"My daughter said this is some kind of chain store. The tea is ready, please enjoy it. We'll take your order right away."
