Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 109
After finishing her first entrepreneurial experience in the United States, Qi Zheng did not delay for too long and began to pack her bags and prepare to return to China. Zhuang Muqing came to help them with some formalities, and by the way asked about the situation of Haicheng, because she was also going.
“Moon, you can do whatever you want. I’m in a mess here, so I can’t greet you.”
Zhuang Muqing looked at the cardboard boxes on the floor and Qi Zheng walking around the room sorting things into the boxes. She couldn’t help laughing, “I’ve been here many times, and you still treat me as a guest.”
“It’s a guest after all. You don’t mind, but I can’t be rude.”
Even so, the two of them used a familiar tone.
Zhuang Muqing took out a bottle of sparkling water from the refrigerator and drank it, and said casually, “Where are you going to live when you return to Haicheng?”
“Ning’an District.”
“It doesn’t seem to be too far from my school, so can I visit your place often in the future?”
Zhuang Muqing was invited to serve as a visiting professor of the aesthetic practice course of Haicheng University of the Arts, and she also hoped to have the opportunity to experience the Shanghai-style life in Haicheng.
“You have studied for so many years, and you still use me to bring it?”
“That’s not the same. I have heard my uncle talk about Haicheng since I was a child, but I still don’t think it’s distant and unfamiliar.”
Qi Zheng didn’t shirk. Thanks to Zhuang Muqing’s care in the United States over the years, now it’s her turn to be the host, so why bother.
“But I may be very busy, so don’t blame me for not having time.”
“I don’t blame it, because I must be so busy flying.”
Busy enough to fly, this is a word that Zhuang Muqing recently learned in the WeChat group, and it is used very smoothly.
After going through the procedures for renting out the apartment, Qi Zheng went to buy something as a gift for returning home. She thought about it carefully, and found that there are not many people who can give gifts. Except for Jiang Youyou’s share, the rest are colleagues from the Shen family before.
She went to that wonton shop on purpose. It was exam week recently, and there were not many students. The boss was idle when she went in.
“Xiao Qi is here, what do you want to eat today?”
The boss looked at the time, and she came earlier than usual, not sure whether she had breakfast or lunch.
“Give me a bowl of wontons and a pot sticker, thank you.”
“Drinking? Still the same?”
“Yes, two tablespoons of sugar.”
Qi Zheng likes to drink sweet soy milk, and only likes to add more sugar when drinking soy milk, and does not feel tired at all.
The things came to the table quickly, and the boss sat opposite her and chatted with her: “I didn’t see you coming last week, I thought you were on a business trip again.”
In the past few years, Qi Zheng often has to fly back and forth between several cities in the east of the United States where students are concentrated, and it is normal to see no one for a week.
“Last week, I was busy with my return to China.”
“Returning to China? Visiting relatives or traveling for business?”
Qi Zheng swallowed a wonton, and it tasted as good as the first time he ate it. He did not improve the taste at all because it was a restaurant in the United States.
“I have decided to go back to live in China.”
Every year, new people come, and every year, some people choose to return. The reasons are different, but most of them have the same purpose: for a better life.
But the boss was still surprised when Qi Zheng decided to return to China: “Your career is developing well, why do you want to go back suddenly?”
“I want to develop better.”
On second thought, it makes sense. After all, in the United States, it is not a mainstream ethnic group. Many things have no right to speak, and there is helplessness and injustice that cannot be said.
The boss seemed very reluctant. In the past few years, the couple had a good relationship with Qi Zheng, and they liked this low-key, humble and hard-working young man very much.
“With your ability, it is indeed better to go back. It’s just a pity that you have worked hard here over the years. Are you planning to sell it?”
Qi Zheng has already eaten half of the small wontons, and his mood is much better. “It’s sold out, so there’s nothing to do this week,” she said with a faint smile.
The boss was even more astonished. After a while, he sighed, “It’s really courageous.”
After he finished speaking, he got up and went into the kitchen. Qi Zheng thought he had something to do and ignored it. After a while, there were two more scallion pancakes in front of him.
“I remember you liked this the most, eat more.”
Qi Zheng suddenly felt a little emotional, over the years she has become accustomed to using this place as a cafeteria. Sometimes, when I catch an early flight, I take a few steamed buns and soy milk from the store.
“Thank you for your care.”
Qi Zheng feels that she is very lucky. Although she is in a foreign country, she has been taken care of by so many people, so that she can concentrate on doing what she wants to do.
“You’re welcome, we have to thank you. You gave us the opportunity to retire early and open a restaurant so easily. After all these years, I never thought it would be so easy.”
Qi Zheng also had such doubts, this restaurant is almost 100% original and copied the traditional cuisine of Haicheng. It never improves the taste to cater to local guests, nor does it sell any mainstream food that locals like, and only insists on selling Haicheng snacks.
So, can you really make money?
Probably knowing that Qi Zheng was going to leave, the feeling of parting became strong all of a sudden.
The boss opened the chat box with emotion: “When I heard that we were going to open a store here, we actually didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, someone told us to give us the bottom line. No matter how much our turnover is every month, we will be subsidized according to the highest standard. Such a good thing. , we couldn’t believe it at first.”
As soon as Qi Zheng heard it, he felt that something was wrong. If such a good thing was not a trap, someone would definitely be posting it backwards. Paying people to do business at a loss, what do you want?
The boss then sighed with emotion: “I think our Chinese boss is human, and love is more important than friendship.”
Qi Zheng raised her brows slightly, feeling that there was something she didn’t know.
“This store was built by your former boss. He said that he hoped you could eat better abroad so that you could concentrate on your studies. So when you graduated and said you wanted to quit your job and start a business, we didn’t say much.”
It turned out to be like this… Qi Zheng had guessed it at the time, but later thought it was absurd, and laughed secretly that he had watched too many idol dramas.
Unexpectedly, this was really opened for her by Shen Zhibing.
“Shen is always a very open-minded person, she will understand.”
Qi Zheng came out of the wonton shop and looked back a few times.
Over the years, she has come and gone here, but she never knew the meaning of this store’s existence.
**
After returning to China, Qi Zheng did not give herself a holiday. After completing the initial settling and adjustment, she began to devote herself to the struggle of the second entrepreneurship.
Zhuang Muqing arrived half a month later than them. Qi Zheng went to ask her about the school. Knowing that someone would be in charge of the arrangement, she was relieved to focus on her own affairs.
Li Yunshan still retains her domestic network resources, and happily shakes the things in her hand: “Qi Zheng, there will be a lecture on mental health next week, and the industry’s big names are special guests. I just got two tickets.”
Qi Zheng glanced at the introduction and thought it was a good opportunity.
As a super first-tier city in China, besides the developed financial industry, Haicheng also has many innovations in other cultural fields. Various industry-leading lectures or forum salons are held in Haicheng almost every day. But this lecture is extraordinary, because of its high degree of professionalism and the fact that it is indeed attended by big players in the industry, making the tickets extremely popular.
Yu Xinyan glanced at the time, informed the secretary that she would leave on time today, and temporarily arranged the unhurried work until tomorrow. Afterwards, she detoured to Shen Zhibing’s office and reminded: “Tonight’s lecture starts at seven o’clock. If you don’t leave now, you will have to listen to it hungry.”
Shen Zhibing signed the last document and handed it to Yun Fei.
“You have emphasized this lecture a week in advance, how could I forget it.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and explained a few words to Yun Fei, and left with Yu Xinyan.
Yu Xinyan said while driving: “The attention in this field has increased significantly recently. We have to hurry up. I heard that several companies are interested in following up.”
“You mean the world?”
Yu Xinyan glanced at her meaningfully: “Not only the world, but Dongming, who is also said to be very interested.”
As soon as he heard Dongming, Shen Zhibing couldn’t help frowning.
Yu Xinyan laughed even more thiefly: “Hey, I don’t know if Dongming is following Shen’s so closely, do you want to make money or bring beauty back?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“No nonsense, haven’t you been under the pressure of urging marriage recently? I heard that your father likes people from Dongming quite a bit.”
Back then, the Shen family didn’t like Lian Ao, so Shen Zhibing had already given up the idea of marriage. Later, when she met Qi Zheng, she liked her, wanted to be with her, and didn’t want to get married.
Now that she is alone, she has begun to be urged to marry by her family, but she does not want any of them. She is still waiting for Qi Zheng, waiting for them to have new opportunities.
“That’s their idea, not mine.”
Seeing what Shen Zhibing said so firmly, Yu Xinyan was not surprised. Over the years, the suitors around Mr. Shen have never been broken, but she is colder than in the past and does not give a chance.
“Since you are still so persistent, you must not miss Qi Zheng’s return to China this time.”
Qi Zheng is coming back, they all know about it. But none of them knew when Qi Zheng would arrive and what he would do when he came back. But as long as she knew that she would come back, it was enough to make people excited. Shen Zhi’s face was not obvious, but the mood these days was exceptionally bright.
“I won’t let her go again.”
Shen Zhibing said lightly, but firmly, which made Yu Xinyan burst into laughter.
The lecture was indeed very popular. Shen Zhibing and the others also saw people from Shiqun and Dongming at the scene. It seems that Yu Xinyan’s news is indeed accurate.
“I’m right. Except for us, other companies are not idle.”
When you hear the wind, sometimes business opportunities are not only dug out by yourself, but also follow the trend. Shen’s is a leader in the industry, and the other two are not bad, but in terms of new business development, it still depends on Shen’s trends.
In the past two years, Mr. Shen has been “plagiarized” quite a few times, but due to his affection, he couldn’t get to the bottom of it.
The lecture was very exciting, and almost no one in the audience left halfway. After the end, the invited experts were surrounded, and there were not a few people who went to consult the details.
Shen Zhibing had already explained to Tai Xinyan and asked this expert.
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Zhibing glanced around and found a familiar figure. At first she thought it was her mistake, but when she stood still to see clearly, she confirmed that it was really Qi Zheng.
“Mr. Shen, why haven’t you left yet?” Yu Xinyan found that the person who was by her side had suddenly disappeared. Looking back, Shen Zhibing was standing three meters away from her.
“Look, she’s really back.”
Yu Xinyan looked around and saw Qi Zheng’s figure in the group waiting to communicate with the experts.
“It’s been a while since we haven’t seen you for a few years.”
Yu Xinyan’s emotion did not affect Shen Zhibing’s gaze, and she has been looking at Qi Zheng almost since she discovered it.
