"Shujie, where are we going?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.

Cao Shujie didn't even think about it and said directly: "Let's go directly to the Five-Star Department Store to find them. Cao Zhen, Cao Fei and the others are waiting there."

"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin had no objection.

But Mengmeng shouted again, reminding her father: "Dad, don't forget to buy me a microphone."

"Mengmeng, believe it or not, I threw you out of the car." Cao Shujie looked forward and said with a smile.

Mengmeng turned to look at her mother, a little scared, but still said firmly: "I don't believe it. If you dare to throw me away, let mother beat you."

Cheng Xiaolin turned to look at her daughter: "Mengmeng, you are indeed very annoying. Can you quiet down for a while? We will find a place later and we will be the first to buy you a microphone to play with."

"Okay! Hee hee!"

With her mother's promise, Mengmeng will give up as soon as she feels good.

The five-star department store is still under renovation, and if everything goes well, it is planned to be completed by the end of this year.

At this time, Cao Fei, Cao Zhen and Patiguli were standing next to the renovated shopping mall, talking and waiting for someone.

"Shujie is coming soon." Cao Zhen said.

Cao Fei asked them: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll treat you."

"How can I just ask you to invite me to fight the local tyrants at noon today?" Cao Zhen started laughing as he spoke.

Cao Fei also laughed.

Among the brothers, Cao Shujie is definitely the real rich man.

Cao Zhen also said: "Director Cao has just taken office. He has not even invited us to have a meal seriously. I have to give him a chance to say anything today."

"That must be invited!" Cao Fei also agreed.

Patiguli looked at the five-star department store that was being renovated, and then looked at the flow of people around her. She was full of expectations that the mall would be renovated in half a year.

After their repeated efforts and half-month-long communication with the mall's investment department, the rent was reduced from the original 500,000 to 450,000. The rent remained unchanged in the first two years, and there will be an annual increase of 5% in the subsequent years.

The specific situation also depends on the economic situation of the year.

The location was also selected, it was right at one of the elevator exits, which was an excellent location.

Now we are waiting for their store to move in, decorate and open after the mall is renovated.

While he was thinking about it, Cao Zhen's cell phone rang. He turned around and saw that it was Cao Shujie calling.

"Oh, it seems our Director Cao is here." Cao Zhen answered the phone.

After saying less than 10 sentences in total, the phone was hung up.

"He will come right away." Cao Zhen said.

Not long after, a GL8 drove over. After the car stopped, Cao Shujie and the cute Cheng Xiaolin got out of the car.

When the two parties met, they seemed particularly cordial.

Cao Shujie also asked Cao Zhen how the rent negotiation was going.

"Is it still 500,000?" Cao Shujie asked him.

The last time they met, Cao Zhen told him that the rent offered by Five Star Department Store at that time was 500,000.

Cao Zhen shook his head: "It's been reduced by 50,000 yuan. The rent will remain unchanged for the first two years, and there will be an increase of about 5% depending on the situation."

"It's still so much, do you have enough money?" Cao Shujie asked them.

Cao Zhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, my wife has saved some money over the years, and my mother also supports me a little, so the money will definitely be enough."

"Let me go, my sister-in-law is still a rich woman, you are so lucky!" Cao Shujie teased him.

Several people burst out laughing.

The place was being renovated, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sounds and the constant construction trucks coming and going were quite dangerous. Cao Shujie said: "Get in the car, and let's find a quiet place to chat for a while."

"Director Cao will look at the arrangements." Cao Zhen was not polite at all.

Cao Fei also smiled and said, "You guys wait a moment and I'll call my manager."

"You go ahead and drink a little today. You will definitely not be able to go to work in the afternoon." Cao Shujie said.

After Cao Fei called his manager Li Zhishan, he explained the special situation.

Li Zhishan was not a stubborn person, so he readily agreed.

I didn't forget to tell him to submit the planning plan as soon as possible.

"Manager, don't worry, I promise to finish the first draft within a week, and I will go over it with you first," Cao Fei said.

After watching him hang up the phone, Cao Shujie asked him: "What's going on? Is the job difficult to do?"

"What you're saying is, if you want to make more money, where can you find a good job?" Cao Fei asked him.

There's nothing wrong with that. A few people got in the car together, and Cao Shujie drove away first.

In the car, Mengmeng once again reminded his father to buy a microphone.

Cao Shujie quickly asked Cao Fei where he could buy children's microphones nearby?

Cao Fei had never come across this thing before and asked him what it was specifically.

After Cao Shujie described it completely, Cao Fei knew what it was.

He pointed to the north and said: "There is an electronics mall over there, go and buy it, there must be one there."

Sure enough, Cao Shujie bought a children's microphone for his daughter in the electronics mall.

This thing is a combination of a microphone and a speaker. You can sing along with it, you can also connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth to sing, and you can also change your voice to sing. The appearance is very cartoony, so it is very popular among children.

But this thing is not cheap either.

A yellow tiger-shaped microphone that Cao Shujie bought for his daughter.

Mengmeng chose this microphone herself. In her words, this microphone is beautiful, cute, and majestic.

But Cao Shujie always felt that something was wrong.

"Tigress?" This thought came to him suddenly.

But he was not allowed to think too much. After everyone returned to the car, Cao Shujie said, "How about we go to the Hedelia Hotel?"

Cao Fei reminded him: "That is the most expensive hotel in the city."

"Hey, we brothers are just having a meal together. It doesn't matter whether we have money or not." Cao Shujie said.

Without Cao Fei reminding him how to get there, Cao Shujie drove over there.

The last time I came here was two months ago. After buying a car, the couple went to have a romantic lunch together while Mengmeng was away.

The price is not unreasonable. Except for the small portion, every dish is exquisitely prepared.

Parking the car in the parking lot next to the hotel, Cao Shujie hugged her daughter and walked towards the hotel with four other people.

When they arrived at the hotel, Cao Shujie simply said that a waiter would take them to the room to make arrangements.

Waiting for the waiter to hand the crystal menu to Cao Shujie and the others, and then standing aside with a tablet computer waiting for them to order.

Cao Fei and Cao Zhen were both here for the first time. Patiguli looked at the menu and then at the waiter holding the ordering tablet. She was thinking about how to order this set after they entered the five-star department store.

The food system is used in their restaurant and it is very good.

"Just watch and do whatever you want, no need to be polite to me." Cao Shujie said.

Even so, Cao Fei and Cao Zhen still had reservations when ordering.

On the contrary, Cheng Xiaolin herself, who now belongs to the high-income group, is eager to eat and orders a few expensive signature dishes.

"Waiter, each of those dishes just now will have one portion each," Cheng Xiaolin said.

She then pointed to several dishes on the menu and asked the waiter to place an order.

"Brothers and sisters, we have already ordered enough dishes. If we order more, we won't be able to finish them all." Cao Zhen advised her.

Cheng Xiaolin finally ordered two more desserts before giving up.

"What would you like to drink?" Cao Shujie said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhen and Cao Fei nodded almost at the same time: "I must drink what you ordered today."

"Cao Fei, do you know the wine seller?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Fei nodded: "I know the general agent who sells Maotai in Yiling City. Do you want it?"

"Bring me three boxes." Cao Shujie said smoothly.

"Three boxes of Maotai? Are you sure?" Cao Fei did not doubt whether Cao Shujie had the strength.

Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Cao Fei said, "Then I'll call Mr. Huang and ask."

"Okay, if he has some, we'll go get them later and drink Maotai at noon today." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Fei didn't even leave the private room, so he made a phone call on speakerphone in the room.

The waiter heard their conversation and looked at Cao Fei who was on the phone and Cao Shujie who decided to buy a drink at the last minute. She felt a little weird and was still guessing who these people were.
