Chapter 17: Old Friends

Looking up at the house number, Xiao Yun confirmed that the address on the note in her hand was correct, and then walked up the stairs quickly.

Since being transferred to the Ministry of Investment Promotion, under Zhang Cheng's intentional training, Xiao Yun has quickly become a unique professional strong woman, which is very different from her previous delicate appearance. Currently, she has been promoted to the position of Business Manager in the Investment Promotion Department, reporting directly to Zhang Cheng, Deputy General Manager of Jiangnan Operations.

In normal times, she is mainly responsible for the investment promotion of key customers in Jiangnan Plaza, such as IKEA, McDonald's, Carrefour and other multinational giants.

But yesterday, Zhang Cheng gave her an urgent task, saying that the big boss Mr. Qin ordered him to expedite the processing of a new investment promotion matter, and she would follow up the whole process.

"Taimei Desserts", a dessert shop in the alley next to the pedestrian street, didn't know why it actually alarmed the company's big boss.

Her task today is to persuade the other party to open a store in the newly built Jiangnan Plaza.

When she arrived at the dessert shop, Xiao Yun decided to observe first to see who the owner was and why she had to go to such great lengths.

Sister Xu, who had a big wavy head, greeted Xiao Yun cordially, recommended a glass of juice and left.

Seeing that the customers around her were all young people who were tired of shopping, Xiao Yun felt that she was a bit of an eyesore sitting here, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh that she was really old.

After looking at her watch, time was pressing, and she had an important meeting in an hour, so Xiao Yun decided to make a quick decision, because she really couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

When Sister Xu learned Xiao Yun's identity, she was a little surprised, but she seemed to know that there was such a thing.

The day before yesterday, she received a call from Qin Ran, saying that there was a good way to recommend it to the couple and the couple, which was regarded as a thank you for taking care of them. Qin Ran won the top prize in the college entrance examination, but Sister Xu and Brother Guan knew the truth from the news, so they kept thinking about making a practice banquet for them. During the holidays, Shen Qin and Zhang Wenqian came here to meet soon after. But when asked about Qin Ran, he only said that he had not returned from traveling, and he was nowhere to be found.

Qin Ran is a very nostalgic person, and he will keep in mind the kindness of others to him. When he has enough ability, he is happy to lend a hand to those who have helped him. Although the business of the "Taimei Desserts" shop is still passable, after all, it is in the alley on the side of the pedestrian street, and it is limited by space and cannot be expanded. Anyway, Jiangnan Plaza needs restaurants such as catering and desserts to settle in, and Qin Ran remembered Sister Xu and his wife. He plans to carve out a space in Jiangnan Square for them to continue their dreams and carry forward.

Three years rent-free, the venue is arbitrarily selected in the planning catering dessert business area, if there is difficulty, the other party can also help to borrow from the bank, such good conditions Sister Xu and Brother Guan are a little unbelievable.

The CBD core area has been said in the news for a long time, and the citizens of Jiangzhou are estimated to know about it, and when Sister Xu saw the news, she also said that it was estimated that the business would be profitable to open a dessert shop in that place. I didn't expect such a big pie to fall from the sky now.

"And what price are we going to pay?"

After all, Sister Xu is well-informed and knows the principle of equivalent exchange.

"You are our VIP customer, and a booming business is the greatest support for us."

Xiao Yun didn't break it. Formulaic answers were used.

Leaving the business card, Xiao Yun left first, after all, such a major event needs to be discussed by the two parties.

After the feverish mind calmed down, Sister Xu remembered whether this could be a scam, and if it wasn't a scam, how much would it cost to invest in a brand new store?

Brother Guan on the side saw Sister Xu chattering alone, standing quietly aside and laughing without saying a word. No matter how many years have passed, she is still the pigtailed girl in his heart, and she will always be so slow.

Sister Xu found that if she wanted to open a dessert shop in her mind. It should cover an area of at least 350 square meters, and the initial calculation requires an investment capital of 600,000 yuan. Now she and Brother Guan have nearly 400,000 on hand. It is bearable to grit your teeth and squeeze a little, and it would be even better if Jiangnan Plaza could help apply for a loan from the bank.

But if the investment fails, those years of hard work will be wiped out.

"Time waits for no one, and finally there is a chance to realize your dreams, and it would be a pity not to try. Besides, there is nothing we can't afford to lose at our age. ”

Brother Guan's timely words dispelled Sister Xu's worries.

With the help of Xiao Yun, Sister Xu won a 420-square-meter store on the entrance side of the first floor of Jiangnan Plaza, and also applied for a loan of 300,000 yuan from the bank. Just wait for the day of delivery, and you can enter the site for decoration immediately.

Qin Ran helped a lot. Sister Xu inquired about Xiao Yun without a trace, and finally came to the conclusion that Qin Ran might be related to the boss of this large real estate company.

According to the current construction progress, Jiangnan Plaza is likely to be opened on May Day in 2001, because it can be completed and handed over to the shops for decoration after the year. Since the construction is 2 months earlier than expected, and the construction process is now very smooth, the original plan for the opening of the National Day 11 is likely to be advanced.

When it was public class time again, Wang Yaxuan sat in her seat a little absentmindedly, waiting for Qin Ran's arrival.

The big battle that Ye Linghan made yesterday quickly spread in the girls' dormitory, especially when it was said that a very tall and handsome military brother returned home, which pushed Qin Ran and Ye Linghan to the forefront.

Although Ye Linghan had called him and vaguely mentioned in advance that he wanted to ask Qin Ran for help, Wang Yaxuan still felt very uncomfortable when she heard the information about how Qin Ran and Ye Linghan were gossip from other girls.

The long-awaited target finally appeared at the door with the boys in the same dormitory, and Wang Yaxuan beckoned to Qin Ran when she saw this, signaling him to come over.

This move of the school flower-level beauty immediately attracted the attention of most people in the classroom, but Wang Yaxuan couldn't take too much care of it.

To be honest, I had a bit of a trip with Ye Linghan yesterday, especially when I put on my couple clothes, Qin Ran was a little weak when I saw Wang Yaxuan.

Now that the girl took the initiative to greet in public, Qin Ran couldn't refuse, not to mention that she occupied an important position in her heart.

"Sit down."

Wang Yaxuan moved a seat so that Qin Ran could sit next to her.

Seeing the girl's cold demeanor, Qin Ran knew that he would definitely have to give the other party an explanation for yesterday's events.

So after he sat down, he whispered a brief account of yesterday's events, of course, omitting some key plots that would cause Wang Yaxuan to be unhappy.

Qin Ran took the initiative to confess, and her honest appearance made Wang Yaxuan feel that she was making a fuss, although she was very satisfied with the boy's current attitude.

"It's another shield!"

Wang Yaxuan's tone of voice was exactly the same as the last time she was in Jiangzhou.

During recess, Qin Ran went out to the bathroom, and when she came back, she was stopped by a girl in the corridor, this girl Wang Yaxuan clearly remembered that she was in the limelight at the freshman party.

The heart that had originally begun to turn cloudy was suddenly cloudy, and Wang Yaxuan waited quietly for Qin Ran's explanation after he returned.

The person who came was Xiao Jianing, and it happened that her class was in class next door today, and she saw Qin Ran from the corridor when she passed by.

On the day when Qin Ran was in the limelight on the basketball court, she was also a spectator in the arena. Unexpectedly, the boy she met by chance on the train was so good and extraordinary, and it reminded her of the agreement that she still owed the other party a meal.

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Qin Ran didn't expect that he had just calmed down the unhappiness of the girls around him, and now there was a hot kettle.

For Xiao Jianing, Qin Ran is more respectful, she is a girl with both talents, especially when she is on the train, she appeases the children's jokes and looks very loving.

Please eat by yourself, Qin Ran quickly shook his head when he heard this.

Xiao Jianing didn't expect that she took the initiative to invite boys to dinner and encountered a closed door, which made her unable to get off the stage for a while. It has always been other boys who invite her, only she refuses others, and no one else has ever rejected her.

So she stubbornly raised her little face, bit her lip and looked at Qin Ran motionlessly, waiting for the boy to take the initiative to change his mind.

Frankly speaking, he and Xiao Jianing are old acquaintances, but if they really agree to eat, I'm afraid Wang Yaxuan really won't be able to pass this hurdle.

Smiling and shaking his head, Qin Ran regarded the other party as an ordinary friend, helping others on the train was a gesture, and he never thought of rewarding it.

The eyes slowly turned red, and soon the tears were already rolling in the eyes, and accidentally a teardrop fell on the railing.

Fortunately, the two of them turned their backs to their former classmates, otherwise others would have thought that Qin Ran was bullying Xiao Jianing.

"Okay, I promise you, but I'll make an appointment in time."

Qin Ran had no choice but to leave the dormitory phone number to the other party, and then make an appointment for the time arrangement.

As soon as the boy left, Xiao Jianing's tears were immediately taken back, for her, who was praised as a genius by the acting teacher, the free collection of tears was a matter of coming and going.

In fact, she couldn't figure out why she wanted to invite Qin Ran to dinner, maybe she was used to the boys around her revolving around her, and suddenly a boy who was not interested in her was more likely to attract Xiao Jianing's attention.

Performance comes from life, as long as you have experienced it, you can act perfectly, Xiao Jianing has always kept this sentence of the teacher in her heart. She once had an argument with her teacher about the emotional scenes in the performance, that is, love can actually be performed, and now she is trying to prove her point.

If you look at it from the perspective of others, she is actually playing with fire, and she thinks that she may have fallen into the mud pond long ago.

Back in his seat, Qin Ran saw Wang Yaxuan's cold face again, knowing that the scene just now must have been seen by him.

So, he carefully confessed Xiao Jianing's invitation to dinner again, and also told him how the two met.

Wang Yaxuan knew that Qin Ran was a very attractive boy, but she didn't expect him to meet a girl who was a certain threat to him on the train. Xiao Jianing is an excellent girl, Wang Yaxuan already knows it from her performance, but this does not mean that she welcomes the boy in front of her too closely.

One Ye Linghan is enough to give Wang Yaxuan a headache, and now there is another Xiao Jianing, Wang Yaxuan really admires Qin Ran a little for being able to provoke so many outstanding girls.

"Take me with you!" (To be continued.) )
