Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.
Chapter 137: Getting there first
When they came out of the house, they found that quite a few people had come to look at it.
Surprisingly, some of them were people I knew.
"Hey Mr. Bai, you're here to look at houses too?"
The person speaking was the shop owner from the store where Bai Zhenzhu had bought curtains and duvet covers; they were practically acquaintances.
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:
"Yes, Mr. Chen, you're here too. Which building do you live in?"
"My building is number ten. What about yours?"
"I'm also in Building 10."
"What a coincidence, we'll be neighbors from now on. I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay, go quickly."
Everyone's face was beaming with joy.
Back at Xu Yin's house, it was still early, so Xu Yin and Liu Fang started cooking.
There were quite a few people cooking at home, including Sister Luo. Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He went to the clothing store.
Xiahe's store is also having a clearance sale, and business has been very good lately.
When Bai Zhenzhu arrived at the store, she found it to be quite lively.
Besides Li Xiufen and Li Yueshu, Sister Sun from next door was also there, along with a young man.
The man's eyes lit up the moment he saw Bai Zhenzhu.
Li Xiufen and Li Yueshu, however, did not look pleased.
Seeing her daughter arrive, Li Xiufen shoved the child into Bai Zhenzhu's arms:
"Erwa is hungry, take him back to his mother."
Xiao Wenbo was overjoyed to see his aunt. He has now started eating soft noodles and steamed eggs, and he gets a regular afternoon snack.
At this time, Xiao Wenbo should have just eaten some mushy noodles and shouldn't be hungry at all.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't ask any more questions, and didn't even bother to say goodbye. She picked up her nephew and left.
"Hey, Pearl, don't go yet!"
Sister Sun came over and pulled Bai Zhenzhu away.
Li Xiufen was furious and grabbed Sister Sun:
"Little Sun, can't you understand human language? I told you my daughter isn't looking for a boyfriend, so hurry up and take your relatives out of here."
Sister Sun was going all out, constantly giving her nephew a meaningful look.
"Sun Hao, this is the white pearl I told you about. You should say hello to her."
The man named Sun Hao walked over.
Before the other party could speak, Bai Zhenzhu coldly said:
"I'm not looking for a partner, you can leave."
Before Sister Sun could say anything more, Li Xiufen grabbed her hair and dragged her out.
Then, with his hands on his hips, he started cursing at the door:
"How dare some people have the nerve to ask? Your brother is so great, why don't you marry him yourself!"
"Everyone in the market has heard about your scheme; who do you think is stupid?"
"I'm telling you this: if anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of my daughter again, I'll smash their teeth."
Bai Zhenzhu also left the shop and took Xiao Wenbo back to Xu Yin's house.
When Li Xiufen and Li Yueshu returned in the evening, they scolded the man surnamed Sun again.
Li Yueshu was furious:
"People found out about Pearl's divorce, and some of them started gossiping."
"But she didn't say it to our faces. When she saw that we were still shamelessly trying to find out, my aunt sent several groups away."
"That guy surnamed Sun is the most shameless; he even brought his own people along! Bah!"
"But things calmed down after my aunt scolded me that time."
Bai Zhenzhu thought to herself that she should hurry up and get the house ready so she could move there first.
I probably won't be near anyone with the surname Sun anymore.
The fact that she received so much money from the demolition compensation couldn't be kept secret; anyone with a keen eye could easily calculate how many shops she owned.
This story will probably be circulating for a while.
Dinner was very lavish, a celebration of everyone's life taking another step forward.
The next day, Bai Zhenzhu stopped going to the shop.
While Sister Luo helped take care of the children, Li Xiufen went to work at the clothing store. She then contacted a plumber to modify the plumbing and electrical systems and began to work on the new house in Huimin Community.
Jian Shuhang soon returned to Yuan County.
Bai Zhenzhu suspected that his return to Rongcheng was to give money to Zhong Ting.
Bai Zhenzhu arranged to meet him at the company.
This time, she had too many houses to renovate and felt embarrassed to take advantage of the company, so she decided to sign a proper contract with Jian Shuhang.
"Mr. Jian, I've come with a big order this time. My friend and I have three clothing stores and four apartments that need to be renovated. We can wait on the apartments, but we're in a bit of a rush to finish the clothing stores. The deadline we've been given is two months."
The clothing store is positioned as a boutique, so the decor must be fashionable; otherwise, it won't match the price range of the clothes.
As for Bai Zhenzhu's other restaurants, she decided to run them herself.
Braised meat shops, hot pot restaurants, and other restaurants only need a simple decoration; you can hire two bricklayers and do it yourself.
The main issue is that the restaurant isn't very big, so there's not much room for decorating.
Jian Shuhang thought for a moment:
"We should be able to spare some manpower. The workers in the clothing store are all experienced, so it should be quick."
Bai Zhenzhu was relieved.
"Okay, I'll finish the drawing when I get back."
JianShu Channel:
"I'll go talk to Mr. Xiao about the KTV thing later."
Everyone went about their own business.
When Xiao Zhongyun heard that Bai Zhenzhu was going to build a KTV in Rongcheng, his money-grubbing eyes lit up.
Smiling broadly, he addressed the JianShu navigation channel:
"I know KTVs like the back of my hand, there are tons of them in Hong Kong. My friend makes the equipment they need, it'll teach you everything!"
He really didn't expect this. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to open the first KTV in Chengdu, but someone beat him to it.
But it’s okay.
As a seasoned businessman, Xiao Zhongyun knew what Jian Shuhang was going to say the moment he opened his mouth.
Before JianShu Hang could even bring it up, he brought it up himself:
"Mr. Jian, we can cooperate on this. I'll handle the supply and installation."
"But there's one thing we need to sign: no matter how many KTVs your Huihuang Decoration wants to install, you can only be supplied by us."
Jian Shuhang was completely unfamiliar with the concept of KTV; he had only heard about it from Bai Zhenzhu.
However, judging from Xiao Zhongyun's enthusiasm and excitement, one can guess that there is definitely a huge business opportunity hidden here.
Otherwise, someone as greedy as Xiao Zhongyun wouldn't be so proactive if there wasn't a profit to be made.
Jian Shuhang wasn't stupid either; he gave a slight smile and said:
"Mr. Xiao, I don't know anything about KTVs. Cooperation is easy to discuss, but I need to figure out what this is all about first."
Xiao Zhongyun pondered for a moment:
"That's easy. Our company's designer is going back to Hong Kong soon. Why don't you go with him and see for yourself?"
Jian Shuhang's heart skipped a beat.
This is indeed a good idea.
So after returning to the company, he called Guo Yongliang and Ge Minjing to mention that he wanted to go to Gangcheng for an inspection.
Guo Yongliang and his wife had only heard Bai Zhenzhu and Zhong Ting mention KTV before, and had no idea what it was.
Now that Jian Shuhang said that Xiao Zhongyun had taken the initiative to request cooperation, the couple immediately realized that Bai Zhenzhu had probably gotten them another big project.
If KTV becomes popular in mainland China in the future, wouldn't the equipment needed represent a huge business opportunity?
That old fox Xiao Zhongyun is trying to monopolize this piece of fat meat.
Don't let Guo Yongliang's past as just a carpenter fool you; he's developed a sharp mind over the years and can work incredibly fast.
"Shuhang, we need to cooperate with Mr. Xiao, but not in a supply relationship. You should go to Hong Kong first to investigate thoroughly, and then we'll come back and discuss it further."
Jian Shuhang also felt that they should investigate first, since it was impossible for Xiao Zhongyun to earn the money all by himself.
