Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

It was late at night, and the Xu brothers said goodbye one after another.

Second uncle and second aunt also carried Tiantian to their bedroom. The little one is not clingy, so he can sleep with second aunt at night.

In the huge living room, Zhang Wenting and Xu Maoting were the only ones left.

Xu Maoting glanced at Zhang Wenting and without saying anything, he walked past her and went straight to the bedroom.

Zhang Wenting followed closely behind.

After entering the bedroom, she closed the door and hugged Xu Maoting from behind.

Xu Maoting did not pry her hands apart, but just let her hold him without saying a word to her.

"Maoting, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Don't be angry with me. Don't ignore me. I feel bad."

Zhang Wenting spoke in a hoarse voice with a slight tremor in her tone, which made Xu Maoting feel sorry for her.

"Will you still talk about divorce in the future?"

Zhang Wenting kept shaking her head. "Don't mention it anymore. I won't mention it again. To keep things fair, I allow you to tell me the same thing. I will never be angry with you!"

"Zhang Wenting you..."

"Don't be angry..."

Xu Maoting was so angry that he laughed.

He shook his head gently and said helplessly: "You, remember what you said today. If you ask me for a divorce over a small matter again, I will definitely grant your wish for Tiantian's sake!"

Zhang Wenting covered her mouth with her hands and kept shaking her head.

"It's late, go to sleep."

The two of them lay side by side on the bed. Zhang Wenting held Xu Maoting's hand tightly. "You can do whatever you want to the Zhang family. Don't worry about me."

"Well, as long as you don't be soft-hearted when the time comes."

"How could I be soft-hearted? I am a member of the Xu family now."

What's good about the Zhang family?

Not only are the Zhang family members not united, but no one treats her as a member of the Zhang family.

Unlike in the Xu family, although there are dozens of people in the Xu family, everyone has a sense of existence. In the Xu family, Zhang Wenting once again felt the long-lost feeling of being valued.

That night, Xu Wanning took a hot bath and fell asleep on the bed.

Lin An had just finished checking the children's homework, and when he returned to the bedroom, Xu Wanning had already fallen asleep.

Even though she usually doesn't snore, she was making slight snoring sounds. You can imagine how tired she was during this period.

Lin An climbed onto the bed carefully, lay down beside Xu Wanning, and gently held her in his arms.

After a good night's sleep, Xu Wanning felt refreshed when she woke up.

After breakfast, Xu Wanning was not idle either, but went to inspect her various stores.

She first went to Xujiapu Restaurant.

It has been more than two months since the last time I checked the accounts.

When Cuifen heard that Xu Wanning wanted to check the accounts, she immediately took out the account book.

During the summer vacation, Xu Wanning asked students from the school's School of Finance to help manage the restaurant. Cuifen learned a lot from the college students, and now it is becoming easier for her to do the accounting.

"Sister-in-law, our business has basically stabilized. The net profit each month is about 8,000 to 8,500, which is basically the same."

Cuifen's tone still sounded a little disappointed: "Dongzi and I have been looking forward to seeing whether our restaurant's net profit can exceed 10,000 yuan every month. We have thought of many ways to achieve this, but it is always a little short. I don't know when we can achieve this wish."

Eight thousand yuan in the 1980s was not a small sum of money, and this net profit was after deducting the salaries and commissions of all the chefs and waiters. Even Dongzi and Cuifen's monthly commissions were not included. The more than eight thousand yuan actually fell into Xu Wanning's hands.

"It's already a lot. Our restaurant has been open for so long that our customers are basically fixed. More than a thousand yuan doesn't sound like a lot, but it's not easy to break this mark. Another thing, how is your choice of the address for the new store going?"

That’s right, Xu Wanning plans to open a branch.

This plan was already in place before the summer vacation, but due to various reasons, it has never been implemented.

Xu Wanning asked Dongzi to find a suitable shop, but she doesn't know whether he has found one yet.

"I heard from Dongzi that he found a suitable shop in the west of the city, but the landlord only wants to sell it and not rent it. The building is going to sell for 20,000 yuan. Dongzi is unsure, so he didn't buy it. He plans to wait until you have time, sister-in-law, before making a decision."

As he spoke, Dongzi saw the guests off and immediately walked towards Xu Wanning.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally on vacation!"

"I've been quite busy in the lab recently, so I haven't had a chance to go out. But fortunately, the research has yielded initial results, and I won't have to stay in the lab for at least the next half month."

Dongzi hadn't seen Xu Wanning for a long time. When he finally met her, he began to eagerly tell Xu Wanning what had happened in the restaurant during this period.

"Sister-in-law, our restaurant hasn't held any activities for a long time, like the free gift activities when we first opened. Many old customers said that there is nothing new. I was thinking, it's almost the end of the year, can we organize a wave of activities to attract customers?"

In recent months, several large restaurants have appeared in Beijing. Although they cannot take away the business of Xujiapu Restaurant, they will still have some impact.

Dongzi saw it all and was worried. He had been thinking about whether he could organize a large-scale event to attract customers, but he couldn't think of a suitable one after thinking for a long time. In addition, he couldn't contact Xu Wanning, so he was worried that he would mess it up, so he never put it into practice.

As soon as he saw Xu Wanning, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

Xu Wanning did not object, but asked Dongzi: "I heard from Cuifen that you found a suitable store?"

Dongzi said quickly, "Yes, it's in the west of the city. I've visited there and there are four large factories. Although the factories also have canteens and provide meals for employees, the food in the canteens is not very good. In addition, the performance of those factories is not bad, and the workers have extra money, so they occasionally come out to have a good meal."

The positioning of Xujiapuzi Restaurant is mid-range, or to be more specific, mid-to-high-end.

At present, the most high-end restaurant in Beijing is still Quanfulou, but it is mainly used to receive foreign guests. The food there is indeed good, but the price is also expensive. If you want to have a full meal, you have to spend at least 30 to 50 yuan, which costs many people half a month's salary.

The price of a dish at Xujiapuizi Restaurant is not very cheap, but compared to Quanfulou, it is not expensive at all.

The most important thing is that Xu Wanning did not cut costs, so the portions of the dishes were very large. Three people can have a delicious meal by ordering two dishes.
