On this day, it was time for Chen Shi to call the rent. It's been several months, and he negotiated with Lu Linlin to postpone it for a few months, but now he has no shortage of money to pay the rent, so he found out Lu Linlin's business card and called it.

After the phone was connected, Lu Linlin asked suspiciously, "Hello, who are you?"

Chen Shi said: "Sister Lu, I am Xiao Chen. ”

"Oh, Xiao Chen, it's been a long time, what's the matter with you?" Lu Linlin asked.

Chen Shi said: "Sister Lu, that's the case, I don't know if you are in the county seat, I should also pay the rent, when are you free? I will personally send it to you." ”

Lu Linlin said: "I am not in the county seat now. ”

Chen Shi was slightly disappointed and asked, "Then Sister Lu, you can tell me an account, and I will personally call you the money." ”

Lu Linlin laughed and said, "I'll come back tomorrow, I'll go to you then, and you'll just wait for me in the restaurant." ”

Chen Shi said yes, and hung up after chatting a few more words. What kind of business does Lu Linlin do, Chen Shi has never known much, he has only had dinner with her once, he accepted her favor and rented the restaurant to him, so he has today, if he does not pay the rent in time, it will definitely leave an extremely bad impression, so after Chen Shi is free, he quickly called her, and now he is not short of that rent money.

The next day, Chen Shi came to Yipintang early in the morning, Sister Lu didn't say when he came, he didn't ask clearly, and it was not good to call and continue to ask now, so he had to wait from morning to morning. He was originally an idler, it doesn't matter if he waits for a day, and there is nothing to do anyway. Although there are many businesses, there are people in charge of each business, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

There are Taozi in the Internet café, He Chunming in the supermarket, Wujiang and Liu Cheng in the water plant, and even Yipintang has Liqiu. Li Qiu has been busy with the matter of entering Lincheng City recently, and now she has recruited several employees, because she wants to take a group of people, so she has to recruit a new batch to replenish, of course, she is not forced to leave the county, but on the principle of voluntariness. Most of the young people in the restaurant were willing to follow her, so if she just nodded, the current Yipintang would soon lose most of its waiters, leaving only the chef and a few slightly older ones. To this end, she must first recruit people, and then train, of course, in the process of recruitment, she also chooses some good seedlings to take with her, hoping to cultivate talents.

Chen Shi had a lot of opinions about his action, originally he thought that recruiting waiters could go to Lincheng to recruit locals directly, so that he would not have to bear the cost of accommodation, but Li Qiu told him that in Lincheng, the locals who have their own families will not do the work of waiters, and the general service industry practitioners are outsiders, and such people cannot be recruited without a place to stay, so they will bear the same burden sooner or later, which is inevitable, so take advantage of the free time now, recruit directly here, and then bring it over after training to go to work。 After hearing this, Chen Shi had no choice but to agree with her, no matter how she tossed, he had nothing to say.

Chen Shi waited in Yipintang for a morning, and at about two o'clock, Lu Linlin finally came, and Chen Shi personally went to the door to greet her.

Today she came by car, when she first came, a red BMW drove over, Chen Shi had not reacted, and when she saw that the person who got off the car was her, she hurriedly went out to greet her. Judging from Lu Linlin's clothes and the vehicles she drives, her business is not small.

After entering the house, Chen Shi beckoned her to sit down and said, "Has Sister Lu eaten?"

Lu Linlin said that he had eaten, and Chen Shi didn't say anything more, and then he went directly to the topic and asked Li Qiu to rent the house to Lu Linlin, Lu Linlin didn't count, and only said after putting it directly in the bag: "Xiao Chen, you did a good job, I was worried that you would lose money at the beginning, but now it seems that you not only did not lose money, but also made a fortune." ”

Chen Shi said modestly: "Sister Lu has won the award, but she didn't get rich, she just ate a mouthful." ”

Lu Linlin smiled slightly, then looked at Chen Shi and said: "If a supermarket is just a mixed meal, then Sister Lu, I'm afraid I'm going to ask for food, I really didn't expect that you would develop so rapidly, I was also optimistic about the blank market in the county, and I also wanted to open a supermarket, but I didn't expect you to take the lead, and now it seems that it is impossible to enter the retail industry here." ”

Chen Shi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lu Linlin to be so powerful, and even knew about his best supermarket, so it seems that she came here today not only for that little rent. This is also right, she should not be able to look down on the rent, she could have chosen the way to transfer money, but she came in person, this is not right, the reason why she came in person should be something else.

Not only Chen Shi was stunned, but even Li Qiu on the side was also stunned, she knew about a supermarket, it was so popular recently, how could she not know it, but what she didn't expect was that this supermarket was actually opened by Chen Shi, how could he be so fast?

Chen Shi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's just a small fight, I didn't expect Sister Lu to know, you know, our county is too small, and a supermarket can't make a lot of money at all, it's just convenient for everyone." ”

Lu Linlin was noncommittal about this, she looked at Chen Shi, and felt more and more that Chen Shi was an unfathomable person, when she first met him, she just thought that he was a good young man who was righteous and brave, and when she saw him again, she thought that he was an entrepreneurial young man who could work hard and endure hardships, and now she saw him for the third time, and actually broke the feeling of seeing him the first two times, and actually made her feel that Chen Shi was a scheming person, a business elite, and a person who would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. She sometimes doesn't believe in such judgments, but the facts are in front of her, so she has to believe them.

She said: "Xiao Chen, don't be modest, I know you want to be low-key, but if you are too low-key in business, others will think that you are a bully, and you still have to declare your existence when appropriate, so that you can not only get some information that you don't expect, but also your business partners will give you unexpected help." ”

Chen Chengcheng has only a few business partners, and everyone is a little capable, but when it comes to helping him, he doesn't help much, more or less, but Chen Shi uses them as managers, so he can't help them.

He said: "It's good to do your own business, it's not my way to do things if you have difficulties to find someone to help, I usually solve it by myself, of course, I will ask someone for things that can't be solved, for example, if it wasn't for Sister Lu's help, there would be no current me, otherwise, my Yipintang can't be opened, and I can't gain a foothold in the county, maybe I would have gone home to farm." ”

Lu Linlin smiled and said: "As far as you praise people, I don't count as helping, besides, you saved me before, I just pay off the debt, we don't owe each other, don't talk about how badly I say, you don't know, a woman doing business outside, how much grievances she has to endure, how much pressure she has to bear, I just don't have a little more patience with other ordinary people." ”

Chen Shi smiled: "Sister Lu is too modest, just like you said, you have endured the grievances that others can't bear outside, and the pressure that others can't bear, so there will be a successful you, without a successful you, I'm afraid no one will help me earn the first pot of gold." ”

Lu Linlin laughed happily, she said: "After going around for a long time, I was still surrounded by you, let's stop talking about this topic, I came here to ask if you have any intention of cooperating." ”

Chen Shi was puzzled: "Sister Lu, are you cooperating with me or someone else?" If it is Sister Lu, I welcome it with both hands, if you are helping others to ask, I have to investigate it first, and I must first see the ability of others, otherwise I don't know if this little shrimp was eaten by a big shark. ”

Lu Linlin said: "Strictly speaking, it's not me, but my family, I didn't think that you were so capable, nor did I think that you would develop so fast, let alone want to investigate you, but my family knew some information, and then I said the relationship between you and me, so my family asked me to come and ask you, just because you just called, so I came here on purpose." ”

Chen Shi was puzzled, but he didn't ask, and he didn't ask about Lu Linlin's family, if the other party was willing to say, then he would naturally tell him, if the other party didn't want to say, then it was useless to ask. He said, "Sister Lu, how do you want to cooperate?"

Lu Linlin said: "Of course, it is a stake in the supermarket. ”

He didn't believe that the supermarket department was like a restaurant, and his supermarket was no different from other supermarkets, and he couldn't think of any other new way to run the supermarket, so he was completely learning from other people's business models. Unlike restaurants, it can be said to be a kind of innovation, he can see the value of innovation, dare to invest, he believes this, but what can a supermarket have? He has no funds, no connections, no land, only a small supermarket that has just opened, is it pie in the sky?

Although he regretted it, he couldn't help but hurriedly ask, but said an irrelevant topic, and said: "Sister Lu, you know that my supermarket has just opened, and your family is so optimistic about its future now? If it closes down one day, won't your family lose money? Also, this is just a small county town, and it is saturated to open a supermarket, and it is difficult to expand, if I go to other places, I have no ability to expand, how can your family be optimistic about such a small supermarket?" There must be other reasons, and if you don't say anything else, I can't agree with that. ”
