But Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that a good dinner would be ruined.
And the troublemaker is actually related to Xia Wu.
Let’s start from the beginning.
The two people sitting by the window were talking warmly and sweetly, when a somewhat arrogant and domineering voice reached their ears.
At first Zhao Shanhe didn't take it seriously. Although this is a Western restaurant, eating here is about a mood, the quieter the better. But if you can't stand some people, they just don't have high quality. Even if they insist on shouting at you, there's nothing you can do.
But as he listened later, Zhao Shanhe's brows furrowed.
Li Qiuya also put down the knife and fork in her hand, raised her head and looked at Zhao Shanhe with a solemn expression: "Shanhe!"
"Listen and then talk." Zhao Shanhe shook his head slightly at Li Qiuya and signaled her not to speak, and the two of them continued to listen quietly.
The booth next door.
"Let me tell you, I fell in love with that sweet honey milk tea shop. I don't believe it anymore. If she doesn't let me open a branch, I will have to fight with her."
A well-painted woman, covered in jewels, ate steak casually and spoke with an arrogant expression.
"Sister Xiaozhi, isn't your business doing well? Why do you have to open a milk tea shop if you are doing well? If you ask me, don't bother, it's just fine as it is now."
"That's right, you're not short of money."
"It's wrong of you to say that. Who would think money is too hot these days? Sister Xiaozhi, I support you. If you want to open a milk tea shop, can I follow you?"
The other three women sitting at the dining table were chattering away, and their eyes looking over showed a kind of surprise.
"Xiaoxiao is right, you two are just stubborn and don't know how to adapt. I am doing business, but who would have trouble with money?"
"Besides, I think this milk tea shop is good and promising. It looks very clean and is very respectable. It's not like me now, who can only stay in the wholesale store all day long. It's so boring.
"
The woman called Sister Xiaozhi was filled with grievances and spoke bitterly.
"If this is the case, we also support you, but I heard that Xia Wu is difficult to deal with. Sister Xiaozhi, if you say you want to open a branch, will she agree?"
"I don't agree."
Sister Xiaozhi shook her head, took a sip of tea and said: "I talked to her about this, and she said she didn't want to open a branch for the time being, but it's not something she doesn't have to do if she doesn't want to. Humph, in Handong
City, as long as it is something I want to do, there is nothing I can't do. She is just a little girl, just wait for me to deal with her."
"Yes, our little sister has many abilities."
"If she is smart, she'd better agree to Sister Xiaozhi. If she doesn't agree, we'll go it alone. Isn't her name Tiantianmi? Let's change her name to Xiangxiangxiang or Slippery. Then with our Sister Xiaozhi's connections,
Why not destroy her milk tea shop?"
"Sister Xiaozhi, then we wish you success."
"Come on, have a drink."
After hearing this, Zhao Shanhe had basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter. In the final analysis, it was just that someone was jealous and wanted a piece of the pie.
However, this matter was rejected by Xia Wu.
She is not stupid. Tiantianmi has just established a foothold and gained some social fame. How could she just casually let someone open a branch now?
Besides, if you really want to open a branch, that's not to say that this matter cannot be discussed. But the problem is that this young lady clearly wants to give Tianmi a thumbs up. Under such circumstances, how can she say yes?
?
"Xiao Wu must know about this." Li Qiuya said with a straight face.
"Actually, this kind of thing is normal. After all, in the future development process, it is inevitable to be remembered like this. Unless you become bigger and stronger, you can only be at the mercy of others."
Zhao Shanhe cut the steak slowly, gave the cut beef to Li Qiuya, and said with a doting look on his face: "It's okay, it's all a trivial matter. Eat first, and fill your stomach first."
"I'm so fat if I still eat."
Li Qiuya looked at the steak in front of her and said coquettishly.
"How do you call it fat? You are just right. Be good, eat! Eat more beef, it is good for your health." Zhao Shanhe said with a smile, wiping the soup from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, is this a naked show of affection?"
At this moment, the young lady in the booth next door suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Shanhe and Li Qiuya with her nose or eyes raised, and her eyebrows raised deliberately.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Zhao Shanhe's face darkened, and he didn't say anything, but Li Qiuya quit on the spot. She already disliked you, but now you dare to stand up and provoke him.
"I said this is a public place. Don't you think it's immoral for you to flirt with each other here? If I were you, I would have crawled into the cracks in the ground in shame." Sister Xiaozhi curled her lips and said in a sinister manner.
"Then go ahead, no one is stopping you." Li Qiuya said calmly.
"you!"
Sister Xiaozhi did not expect to be counterattacked like this. She was so arrogant that she wanted to act violently on the spot, but she was restrained by the three women around her. They finally managed to persuade her.
"snort!"
Only then did Sister Xiaozhi leave angrily.
Looking at her disappearing back, someone suddenly reminded her kindly: "Don't be familiar with her. She is Huang Ezhi who runs a wholesale store on this street. She is an arrogant and domineering woman who is not pleasing to everyone."
"
"Thank you." Li Qiuya thanked her.
"Who opens a wholesale store? Huang Ezhi?"
Zhao Shanhe secretly wrote down the name.
"Have you finished eating? Let's go after finishing eating."
"good!"
The two got up and left the western restaurant.
In the evening, Li Qiuya naturally did not go home, but stayed in Handong City. Because Hetu Manufacturing will develop in Handong City, it is said that Zhao Shanhe also purchased real estate here.
It is still a courtyard house.
He has a deep attachment to Chinese architecture, so he has a special liking for the architectural style of courtyard houses. There happened to be several units for sale in Handong City, so he bought one without hesitation.
Although the price of a courtyard house like this was not low in this era, in later generations it would be sold for sky-high prices.
Some of them you may not even be able to buy with money.
Get it if you can.
This can be considered an investment.
"I don't like the decoration style here. It's a bit too luxurious and advanced. I still think our home is good. How about I redecorate this place another day? Also change it to the style of our county?"
Li Qiuya looked at the European and American style in the room and frowned a little.
"You're right, I don't like this kind of European and American style, but the layout and location of this apartment are very good, so I let Cai Shishi take it. As for the style and so on, you can look at it again
Just decorate it. For example, you can consider planting flowers on the patio outside. Don’t you like ginkgo trees? You can also plant one.”
Zhao Shanhe smiled and handed over a glass of water.
Li Qiuya's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course! This is our house, you have the final say."
"Okay!"
Looking at Zhao Shanhe's slightly tired face, Li Qiuya took his hand with some distress and said softly: "Let's go to the bedroom, I'll give you a massage."
Zhao Shanhe's mouth showed a playful smile: "Do you know how to massage?"
Li Qiuya raised her chin and said proudly: "I just learned it."
"Then I'm going to give it a good try."
…
A bright spring night.
After waking up the next day, Li Qiuya got up lazily and wanted to prepare breakfast, but found that there were already two portions of golden millet porridge, a plate of shredded mustard greens, a plate of pickled radish, and several servings of rice porridge on the dining table.
Soup dumplings with a meaty aroma.
Zhao Shanhe had just washed his hands and came in. The warm sunshine enveloped his body.
A white shirt seemed to be plated with gold in the sunlight.
Li Qiuya was fascinated by this scene. She walked forward with a smile, hugged Zhao Shanhe from behind, leaned her head on his shoulder, and murmured: "Shanhe, I love you."
"I love you!"
Hearing such words suddenly, Zhao Shanhe's body trembled slightly, and a gentle smile as bright as the sun appeared on his face. With these three words, no matter how hard or tired he was, it was all worth it.
"I love you too!"
Zhao Shanhe patted Li Qiuya's arm and said softly: "Wash your face, brush your teeth, and come over to eat. I bought your favorite Xiaolongbao. You can try it out."
"good!"
Li Qiuya smiled charmingly and went to wash up.
Her heart is full of sweetness now, and she feels that she is the happiest woman in the world.
In fact, sometimes she always feels that such a picture is a little unreal, so unreal that she fears that it is fake and will be shattered at the first touch.
There was no way, who made Zhao Shanhe like that before? Thinking of their former home and their dark life, Li Qiuya even thought of committing suicide at that time.
Now that I think about it, I was really stupid.
Fortunately, I did not choose to commit suicide. Otherwise, how could I have the wonderful life now?
"Is it tasty?"
Zhao Shanhe looked at Li Qiuya who sat down after washing, took a small steamed bun, put it in her mouth and finished it and asked.
"tasty!"
Li Qiuya ate happily and smiled sweetly.
"If it's delicious, eat more. This bun shop is just fifty meters across from our house. If you want to eat, you can buy it at any time in the future." Zhao Shanhe rambled on about the situation near his home.
He can tell you the location of the wet market, which market has the freshest food, whose roast chicken is cooked authentically, whose fruit has not been treated with pesticides, and even the specialty dishes of several nearby restaurants.
It's crystal clear.
"How do you know so much?" Li Qiuya asked curiously.
"Our home is here. Of course I need to know something about the surrounding situation. Besides, this is not a big deal. I can figure it out in half a day. Come on, eat quickly and let's go find Xia Wu."
Zhao Shanhe raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"But she probably hasn't gotten up yet."
"It's impossible, she won't sleep in, and even if she doesn't open the business now, she still has to prepare materials. By the way, what do you think Tiantianmi should do next? You can't just keep guarding this store, right? After all, this
The milk tea shop is different from other shops, it is a bit small after all." Li Qiuya asked, wiping the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Of course I won't stick to it."
Zhao Shanhe put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said with a smile: "The milk tea shop is not like other shops. This one has strong flexibility and mobility, and we must bring this characteristic into full play. This first one is to build a reputation.
, just to let Xia Wu know how to operate it. Next, it’s time to open a large-scale store.”
"If we want to continue to open a few more stores in Handong City, we need to open at least five more stores."
"And this is just the beginning. Then it will be opened in Zhongzhou City. The rest of the prefecture-level cities must follow suit. The brand of Sweet Honey Milk Tea Shop must be launched in the shortest time, so that people have a preconceived idea.
, when I think of a milk tea shop, the first thing that comes to mind is Tiantianmi. If you want to drink milk tea and drinks, go to Tiantianmi.”
"How much does it cost?" Li Qiuya asked.
"You've got the point right."
Zhao Shanhe took Li Qiuya's little hand and said gently: "I remember I told you before that Tianmi cannot be run with conventional concepts. To do it, you have to find a new way. Have you ever heard of joining a chain store?"
"Franchise chain store?"
Li Qiuya's eyes lit up.
"You've said this before, right? I seem to have an impression, but I don't quite remember it. Can you explain it to me in detail?"
"Okay, I will explain it to you in detail. After I explain it to you, remember to tell Xia Wu about it and ask her to operate according to this model. This is good. First of all, it can be done in the shortest time.
Secondly, it can help you build a brand within a short period of time. Secondly, it can save time and effort. Thirdly, it can maximize your network of contacts. Fourthly, of course, you can also make money."
Zhao Shanhe clasped his fingers and told Li Qiuya, and then started talking about joining a chain store.
"As long as they want to join our sweet shop, we will provide them with decoration support. We will provide the raw materials they need. We are absolutely guaranteed to be at the best price and lowest cost..."
"But they need to pay a fee, which includes many things, such as the right to use our brand, the deposit for joining, store design drawings, brand promotion fees, equipment fees..."
"Of course, this does not mean that as long as an individual comes and says he wants to join, we will give him the opportunity. We must also conduct qualification reviews on franchisees. At the very least, they must abide by the various operating and management regulations of our Sweet Honey Milk Tea Shop.
You must also have a strong sense of professionalism, success awareness and brand awareness, and investors must also have sufficient financial strength and risk awareness..."
…
Zhao Shanhe kept talking, while Li Qiuya listened quietly, her brain digesting at high speed.
She knew that what Zhao Shanhe said was all practical information and must be kept in mind. So she did not dare to relax in any way, and as she listened, her eyes were full of admiration, and she looked at Zhao Shanhe with an even stronger look.
worship.
After Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, Li Qiuya breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Shanhe, how did you say your head grew? How can you know so many things?"
"hey-hey."
Zhao Shanhe smiled mischievously. He would not tell Li Qiuya that these things seemed very advanced in this era, but in later generations they were basically the template for industry standards. I dare not say that everyone knows it, but it is not considered by many.
mystery.
However, Zhao Shanhe was still very proud when he saw Li Qiuya's admiring gaze.
It should be every man's dream to be worshiped by the woman he likes.
"Let's go find Xiao Wu."
"good!"
The two simply packed up and went out.
But neither of them expected that just as they were going out, someone had already arrived at the Sweet Honey Milk Tea Shop.
