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

White pearl almond eyes sparkling:

“Okay, Mr. Guo, go find a lawyer and we’ll sign a formal contract.”

Guo Yongliang pointed at Bai Zhenzhu:

"Boss Bai is very meticulous."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and signing a contract is the safest way. I hate arguing with people."

Guo Yongliang nodded:

"Makes sense."

Xiahe came over and asked her how much the shop renovation cost.

Guo Yongliang reported a number:

“Just considering the cost alone, three thousand, that only includes labor and material costs. Boss Xia, I’m not lying to you, these material costs are all the wholesale price I’ve calculated for you. That glass door alone is not cheap, and it’s not easy to handle.”

If I start my own company and work for someone else, the price definitely won't be this high.

Xia He was very decisive; she immediately counted out three thousand yuan and settled the renovation payment.

This renovation cost wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.

Forget three thousand, with this kind of effect, she'd be willing to do it for six thousand.

Guo Yongliang discussed it with her:

"Boss Xia, if anyone asks, don't report three thousand."

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of business cards.

Xia He: "I understand. Can I say I spent six thousand?"

Guo Yongliang gave her a thumbs up:

"Boss Xia is on the right track."

Bai Zhenzhu was delighted when she saw the business card:

"Mr. Guo is quick on the job; he's already made the business cards."

The small card read "Huihuang Decoration Company, General Manager: Guo Yongliang" and included a landline number.

The company's business cards were already made before anything even happened.

Guo Yongliang stopped pretending:

"To be honest, I already had a good idea of ​​what the store would look like when it was halfway done."

He visited Guangzhou last year, and Xiahe's store is arguably more upscale than those stores in Guangzhou.

He didn't have time to talk to Xia He and went straight back to the furniture factory with Bai Zhenzhu.

Not to mention the contract, he's already found a lawyer who's waiting at the furniture factory.

After reading the contract, Bai Zhenzhu smiled:

"It seems that Mr. Guo is eager to make his mark."

Guo Yongliang revealed his trump card:

“Boss Bai, I won’t lie to you, your sister-in-law is from Rongcheng. She was sent to my hometown in the countryside. I have some connections in Rongcheng.”

"I not only want to open a decoration company in Yuan County, but I also want to open a company in Chengdu."

"Of course, no matter where our company opens or how many stores we open, 20% of the shares will always belong to you. It's all clearly stated in these contracts."

Guo Yongliang was not a short-sighted person; he considered Bai Zhenzhu to be his benefactor.

The furniture factory might only make him money.

But starting a renovation company might allow him to achieve great success.

Without Bai Zhenzhu, he would never have imagined that he could work in the decoration industry.

Therefore, he is giving away these 20% of the shares willingly.

Guo Yongliang has already signed, and Bai Zhenzhu has also signed and pressed her fingerprint.

Wiping away the ink, Bai Zhenzhu extended her hand to Guo Yongliang:

"Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Guo Yongliang laughed loudly:

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. We're already so familiar with each other, calling me 'General Manager Guo' is too formal. From now on, you'll be like my own sister."

Bai Zhenzhu was naturally happy to have another brother like him; he was a future entrepreneur.

"Okay, Brother Guo."

She came from a rural area, with no connections or foundation; all she had was more knowledge about future development trends than others.

If she wants to do renovations, she won't have any way to get materials like acrylic sheets.

Acquiring this 20% stake would be a huge opportunity for Bai Zhenzhu.

Once the contract is signed, there's no need for Bai Zhenzhu anymore.

Guo Yongliang invited her to stay for dinner, but she politely declined.

Seeing that it was getting late, I went straight back to the restaurant.

It's Saturday today, and the restaurant is doing good business.

Liu Fang said that the photos had already been taken, but only a few of the main dishes were photographed; the home-style stir-fries were not.

"Sure, sister-in-law, just take a picture of the main dish."

Bai Zhenzhu went upstairs and locked the contract in the cabinet.

She hadn't eaten yet, so she was upstairs reading and studying, starting with practicing the basics of sketching.

She managed to buy the sketchbook after asking one of her students.

She only went downstairs to wash her hands when they called her to come eat.

The family was having a lively meal around the table when Zhang Hongying from next door brought over a large plate of steamed buns.

"Are you eating? I'll bring you some steamed buns."

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly went over to take it:

"Sister Hongying, have you eaten? Sit down and have something to eat with us."

"You've already eaten. You had dinner late, so you just happened to catch my last pot."

As she spoke, she pulled Bai Zhenzhu aside:

"Pearl, do you still want to buy a shop? There's one near No. 1 Middle School."

A thought struck Bai Zhenzhu: "One is a good position."

"Sister, what's the situation with the shop?"

Zhang Hongying said somewhat embarrassedly:

“That shop belongs to my brother from my mother’s side. He originally ran a snack business. There were many students there, so he sold things like noodles and wontons.”

"His business was doing quite well before, but seeing how good his business was, another one opened up next door. Their food tasted better than his, so his business was naturally affected."

Bai Zhenzhu frowned slightly.

"Sis, there's more to it than just that, isn't there? Are there other reasons why it's not going to continue operating?"

Zhang Hongying sighed:

“My brother has a bit of a temper. He got into a fight with the boss next door and ended up getting beaten up.”

"As a result, business has gotten even worse."

"He wanted to sell the shop and move to Chengdu to develop his business."

Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment:

"Okay, take me to see it tomorrow."

Zhang Hongying breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, we should go take a look first."

"Pearl, I won't lie to you, the shop itself is fine, it's just that the owner next door is not someone to mess with."

"He has an even fiery temper than my brother. All the people who went to see the shop before backed out after seeing the owner."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Let's go take a look first."

The next morning, Bai Zhenzhu carried Zhang Hongying to the No. 1 Middle School.

It takes about half an hour to cycle from the No. 1 Middle School to the train station.

Today is Sunday, and school is on holiday. There aren't many people on the street in front of the school gate.

The No. 1 High School is the best high school in Yuan County, and the street in front of it has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Zhang Hongying's younger brother's shop is in a good location, right opposite the main gate of No. 1 Middle School, but it's closed now.

The snack shop next door was open, and a few customers were sitting inside eating wontons.

Wontons were cooking in a pot on the stove by the door, and a tall, fat man wearing a round-necked, button-down shirt was scooping them out of the pot.

After scooping out the wontons, he ladled a spoonful of the broth from the pot next to him, turned around, and yelled into the shop:

"Would you like some scallions and chili oil?"

"Yes," someone inside answered.

The man added a spoonful of chili oil, then used his big, fat hand to grab a handful of chopped scallions and sprinkle them into the bowl before taking it inside.

Bai Zhenzhu looked at the man from afar and didn't find him scary at all.

It actually has a strange sense of humor.

Seeing her standing outside looking, the tall, fat man glared at her:

"If you want to eat, come in and sit down. What are you standing there for? I'm not going to eat you."
