Chapter 452 Another one
The food court project is completed.
On the day of completion, Qin Huiyin gave all the craftsmen an extra month's salary as a bonus.
The generosity of the owner of Qin's Trading Company was no secret in the capital. Nowadays, people from all walks of life wanted to establish a close relationship with her, not only for future business cooperation, but also for the people behind her.
On the day the food court was officially launched, Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan held a ceremony and simultaneously solicited investment from outsiders. As for the details of the investment, they were rather complicated, so they would be busy from now on.
In addition to attracting investment, the sister food city they jointly opened also opened in Beijing. Compared with the first store, this store is larger and more luxuriously decorated, but it took Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan a lot of effort and energy to prepare it.
Because of the food street business, Qin Huiyin suspended her piano studies.
A carriage passed through the food street. The people in the carriage opened the curtain and looked at Qin Huiyin who was chatting and laughing with people at the door of Sister Food City.
"Sir, Master Zhuge has been released from prison." The carriage driver said, "Do you still want to stay in the Tang family?"
"The Tang family is a good hiding place. It's safe there, so we won't move for now." Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "How is Zhuge Congfeng now?"
"Master Zhuge was injured, but it wasn't a serious one. He should be recuperating in a safe place. However, Yuzhu Pavilion has been closed for a month because of that incident, and that person is very unhappy."
"If that person is unhappy, then I should step in and appease him." Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "Let's go to his mansion now."
Rong Jingbo brought a dozen major merchants to offer their congratulations. Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan went to greet them. The latter's eyes met Li Congxiao in the crowd and she gave him a displeased look.
Li Congxiao raised the corners of his mouth and pinched her little hand as he passed by her, making Xia Ruwan's cheeks blush. Then he visited the various facilities in the food street with others.
Rong Jingbo took everyone on a tour and solved 70% of the investment promotion issues. There was no need to rush for the rest. After all, once these cooperations were negotiated, the cost of renovating the food city would almost be recovered.
As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Rong Jingbo had a keen eye. He single-handedly occupied several prime locations in the food court, and only gave up two of them after other merchants expressed dissatisfaction.
"Today I would like to invite everyone to have a meal on the top floor of our food city. I wonder if you big bosses would be so kind as to honor me?" Qin Huiyin said.
"Boss Qin invited us to dinner. It's our honor. We won't leave until we're drunk today."
Rong Jingbo followed Qin Huiyin, who noticed him and stopped: "Boss Rong, what's the matter?"
"Now that the food court is open, I'm afraid you'll be busy. Now that you're of a higher status, can you still show up in public and do business?"
"Why not? My family's attitude towards me remains the same as before." Qin Huiyin felt strange.
"If Boss Qin wants to marry into a wealthy family, she has to keep a low profile. The mistress of a prominent family is not allowed to show her face in public."
Qin Huiyin instructed the newly hired shopkeeper to arrange the five tables, then took Rong Jingbo to the window, looked down from there, and said, "What exactly does President Rong want to say?"
"It's not easy for a woman to run a business. I just want to remind Boss Qin that I don't want you to let today's incident affect your future marriage."
"Thank you for the reminder, Boss Rong, but I've never thought about marrying into a wealthy family, so those rules of wealthy families don't apply to me. I just want to be myself and won't become anyone's vassal."
"What do you think of me, Boss Qin?"
Qin Huiyin was full of doubts.
Rong Jingbo coughed lightly. It was rare for a man who had always been a master strategist in the business world to show an awkward look. Facing Qin Huiyin's bright eyes, his voice became dry.
"I admire Boss Qin and want to marry him. If Boss Qin agrees, I am willing to offer the entire Rong family as a betrothal gift."
Qin Huiyin: "..."
Bang! One person fell out.
Qin Huiyin heard the sound and turned around to see Xia Ruwan fall to the ground. Li Congxiao reached out to pull her up, but they both fell down in an embarrassing situation.
Li Congxiao got up first, then pulled Xia Ruwan up.
Xia Ruwan straightened her clothes and said to Rong Jingbo, "President Rong is very generous. Don't worry about me, just continue talking. We are just passing by."
After saying that, Xia Ruwan pulled Li Congxiao and ran away.
The scene was a little awkward.
Rong Jingbo realized that today was not the time to discuss this matter, and was just about to find an excuse to leave, but before he could open his mouth, Qin Huiyin spoke first.
"Thank you for your kindness, President Rong. However, I only have admiration for you as a partner and friendship for you. I have no other feelings for you. I believe that a man as outstanding as President Rong can find a better woman."
"Although I had expected this, I was still a little disappointed when I heard that Boss Qin rejected me."
"I'm just disappointed, not sad. This shows that President Rong may not have feelings for me. You just think we're a good match. You admire my business skills and want to join forces with me, right?"
Rong Jingbo laughed: "Boss Qin is really outspoken."
He looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She was right, he had indeed weighed the pros and cons. But with such a wonderful girl hanging around him all day, he wasn't made of stone, so how could he not be tempted?
He mustered up the courage to speak because the Rong family elders felt he was old enough to find a woman to start a family. If he spoke, he might be lucky enough to hear her agree.
Although this possibility is not great, it is always possible.
Rong Jingbo was relieved: "The other bosses are waiting impatiently, let's go over there!"
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Okay."
After the two left, Xia Ruwan and Li Congxiao came out from the corner.
"This President Rong is really good at letting go." Xia Ruwan said, "Yinyin rejected him, and he didn't get angry at all."
"If he gets angry and embarrassed when I refuse him, then he can't become the head of the Rong family." Li Congxiao said, "Okay, stop watching the show. It's been a long time since we last met. Don't you miss me?"
Li Congxiao came back after doing something for Prince Ning.
"I want to ask you, what's wrong with you lately? Why do you always run outside?" Xia Ruwan turned around and looked at him. "Tell me, is there a cat outside?"
"Cat?" Li Congxiao couldn't understand her train of thought.
"Little wild cat." Xia Ruwan put her hands on her hips and glared at him coquettishly.
Li Congxiao laughed.
He looked around and carried Xia Ruwan to the study next door.
"doing what?"
"Comfort the little wild cat." Li Congxiao carried her into the door, closed it, and kissed her against it.
"Don't mess around, other bosses are waiting for us to entertain them!" Xia Ruwan was so embarrassed.
"Well, so, be good and just kiss for a while." Li Congxiao grabbed her hand and put it into his clothes. "Am I not as pretty as the prostitutes at Yuzhu Pavilion?"
Xia Ruwan: “…”
