Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

She slapped her thigh excitedly and said, "Wow, Dongzi, that's a brilliant idea! How come I didn't think of that? Okay, I'll go prepare right away, register the company, and do a great job!"

As she spoke, she stood up, clenched her fists, and looked eager to try, as if she could already see the glorious future of the hot pot restaurant.

"Sister, don't overwork yourself. You can never earn all the money in the world."

Looking at Chen Xiumei, Chen Dong felt both gratified and worried, and couldn't help but give her some advice.

He stood up, walked to Chen Xiumei's side, and gently patted her shoulder, a gesture full of concern and care.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. With your great idea, there won't be any problems!"

Chen Xiumei patted Chen Dong on the shoulder with confidence, her face beaming with a self-assured smile.

That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and radiant.

It was as if she was announcing to the world that she was about to embark on a brand new, challenging, yet incredibly exciting entrepreneurial journey.

Chen Xiumei took a deep breath, as if she were exhaling all the gloom.

Then she stood up, her steps slightly hurried, preparing to return to her room to gather the necessary documents for company registration.

Just as Chen Xiumei turned around, Chen Dong suddenly reached out and grabbed his older sister's arm, the action swift and decisive.

Chen Xiumei turned around in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment, and looked at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong cleared his throat, as if he were about to solemnly announce something important, and said with a serious expression, "Big sister, before that, I want to talk to you about the issue of shares."

Chen Xiumei was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, a doubt that enveloped her like a fog.

She sat back down on the sofa, turned slightly towards Chen Dong, looked at him, and asked, "Shares? What do you mean by that?"

His tone carried curiosity, but also a hint of unease.

Chen Dong adjusted his posture, sitting upright and facing Chen Xiumei with a firm gaze as solid as a rock. He said, "Big sister, I want to give you half of the shares."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiumei's face instantly showed a look of surprise, as if she had heard a fairy tale.

His eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "Dongzi, this won't do. What are you doing? You're the boss. I'm just helping you manage. How can you take so many shares?"

As Chen Xiumei spoke, she stood up, her movements quick and resolute, as if to demonstrate her determination to refuse.

Seeing this, Chen Dong also stood up. He gently pressed down on Chen Xiumei's shoulders. His hands were warm and strong, causing Chen Xiumei to involuntarily sit down again.

Chen Dong patiently explained, "Big sister, listen to me. You're in charge of managing this hot pot restaurant."

"From the initial preparations to site selection and decoration, you personally oversaw every detail. From the later operations, staff recruitment and training, to menu development, every step was inseparable from you."

"You're the real boss!"

Chen Dong looked at Chen Xiumei very seriously and continued speaking.

"Think about it, the chicken farm that my second aunt manages for me is the same."

"She has put so much effort into the management of the chicken farm, working from dawn till dusk, taking meticulous care of the chickens, from selecting chicks to formulating feed and preventing diseases, she does everything herself."

“I gave my second aunt a share of the profits because it was rightfully hers. Your contributions to this hot pot restaurant project are no less than my second aunt's, and may even be more, so giving you half of the shares is only fair.”

As Chen Dong spoke, he looked at Chen Xiumei with sincere eyes, a gaze that seemed to pierce through her heart and make her understand his feelings.

Chen Xiumei was deeply moved by Chen Dong's words; the emotion flowed gently through her heart like a stream.

But she still shook her head, her movement gentle yet firm, and said, "Dongzi, I appreciate your kindness, but half a share is really too much."

“I know my abilities, and although I will do my best, I can’t take so much. Besides, this is your business after all, and I can’t take such a large share.”

Chen Xiumei lowered her head slightly, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, a hesitation that seemed like a tangled mess, swirling in her heart.

Their hands were clasped tightly together, their fingers turning slightly white from the force, as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Chen Dong said again, "Big sister, don't underestimate yourself. Without you, this maid restaurant wouldn't be doing so well."

"From being completely unknown at the beginning to now being somewhat famous, it's all thanks to you. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done with this hot pot restaurant project."

"Your importance to this project far exceeds my imagination. You are like the anchor of this project; I only feel at ease when you are here."

Chen Dong's voice was full of sincerity, and his eyes were filled with trust and gratitude towards Chen Xiumei.

Chen Xiumei raised her head and looked at Chen Dong, her eyes glistening with tears that seemed about to fall at any moment.

She bit her lip, which turned slightly white from the force, and said, "Dongzi, I feel really warm inside when you say that. But I really can't accept half the shares. Just give me 30% of the shares, like my second aunt Chen Meiju. That's enough."

As Chen Xiumei spoke, she looked at Chen Dong with expectant eyes, a hint of nervousness in them, as if waiting for a response while also fearing that her request might put Chen Dong in a difficult position.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled with satisfaction, a smile as bright and radiant as a flower blooming in spring.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, big sister, it'll be as you said, thirty percent of the shares."

"Actually, I agree to anything you suggest, because I know that you do everything for our family and for our career."

“You are devoted to your family and never think about yourself. I have seen your dedication.”

As Chen Dong spoke, he patted Chen Xiumei on the shoulder, a gesture full of encouragement and trust, his eyes brimming with confidence in the future.

Looking at Chen Dong, Chen Xiumei felt as if the gloom in her heart had been dispelled instantly, like snow in winter melting away under the warm sun.

She also showed a long-lost smile and said, "Okay, Dongzi, let's work together to make this hot pot restaurant a success."

"I'll go prepare the documents for company registration right away. Don't forget to get an authorization letter so that I can be the legal representative and have full authority to handle the company registration for Haidilao."

As Chen Xiumei spoke, she stood up, her steps light and energetic, preparing to return to her room to get busy.
