Meng Lan thought for a while, looked at Ji Hong with a firm gaze and said, "I dare!" ”

"How dare you?" Ji Hong clasped hands, straightened her waist and looked at her.

"How dare you!" Meng Lan stood up, paced opposite Ji Hong, and said confidently, "It is said that businessmen are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, why are the shops near the school so expensive and so many people are willing to rent, the only reason is that it is profitable."

So many merchants, have others not considered various risks at the beginning of the store, why are they willing to take this risk after thinking about it, it shows that the profit is higher than the risk, since the profit is higher than the risk, why can't I fight again, who dares to say that I must be the one who loses money? ”

"Well said, doing business is what you need to be courageous!" Ji Hong clapped her hands and admired with admiration, "Meng Lan, I underestimated you in the past, you are a strong woman who has been delayed by your family, since you are not intimidated by my alarmism, then let go of your hands and feet, I will definitely fully support you!" ”

"Really?" Meng Lan was pleasantly surprised, hugged her in the past, and kissed her on the cheek, "Great, Ji Hong, I believe in your vision, as long as you think I can do it, then I will definitely do it!" ”

"Hey, hey, take it easy, big sister, my foundation is expensive!" Ji Hong smiled and dodged her.

Meng Lan didn't care, he kissed a few more times, and the two laughed together.

It took a long time to calm down, and Ji Hong said, "After so many years, it's the first time I've seen you so energetic, do you know how I felt just now?" ”

"What does it feel?" Meng Lan asked.

Ji Hong said, "In the past, although you could talk and laugh, your words and deeds always seemed to be bound by something, too conformist, even when you were young, the word vitality was never reflected in you, but at that moment just now, you were like a flower that had been budding for decades, and suddenly it bloomed, it was really dazzling." ”

"What a mess." Meng Lan's eyes narrowed with a smile, "As long as I still have flowers and bones, it will wither eight hundred years earlier!" ”

"It was withered before, but the spring breeze blows and grows again!" Ji Hong squinted at her awkwardly, "Tell me honestly, which wisp of spring breeze blew your heart open, isn't it President Wei?" ”

This topic changed, Meng Lan couldn't catch it for a while, pushed her, and said, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, I still have to go home and cook!" ”

After speaking, he fled with his bag in the desert.

Ji Hong laughed behind her.

After getting Ji Hong's affirmation, Meng Lan was even more enthusiastic, and after delivering food to Shen Yu in the afternoon, he didn't rush home, he looked at all the shops around him that had been posted and transferred, and if he thought it was appropriate, he called to ask.

This question should not be important, not to mention anything else, the transfer fee alone scared half of her enthusiasm away.

Ji Hong is right, a good location is a good location, even if the store can't be done, the transfer fee is ridiculously high, with her current economic situation, it is impossible to want to sell a store.

But since she wants to do it, she can't give up halfway, for the sake of the future, either she will borrow from relatives and friends, or she will take out a loan.

She first went through her relatives and friends in her mind, Chu Jun was excluded first, Ji Hong's recent hotel operation has been worrying, I'm afraid she won't be able to take out extra money for her, Shen Ke she won't open her mouth at all, as for Wei Cheng, he must be rich, but she doesn't want to borrow from him.

The rest are some relatives of her mother's family, but in the past, she was cold and not keen to move around with relatives, so that relatives felt that she was a little unattainable, and they gradually distanced themselves from each other.

After excluding these, only her parents are left.

The parents are still quite rich, they don't spend much money when they are old, and the pension is also very considerable, plus before the divorce, Shen Ke was quite generous to them, and they had enough food and clothing, so they saved all their money, saying that they would give it all to Shen Yu when they got married.

Meng Lan felt that if she opened her mouth, her parents would definitely sponsor her, but it was a little difficult to open.

At such an old age, even if you can't fulfill your filial piety, you have to reach out to them to ask for money, in case the business loses, isn't it really a cheat?

After thinking about it, she finally decided to go to her parents' house, first, to report her recent situation, and secondly, to ask the old people for their opinions on the opening of a restaurant, and if they agreed, she would temporarily borrow money from them for a while.

As a result, when she rushed to her parents' house, she was poured a basin of cold water on her head.

Mother's opinion is the same as Chu Jun's, thinking that Meng Lan is a female generation who has never seen much of the world, let alone doing business, it is difficult to go to work, so it is better not to toss around.

Father didn't mean to underestimate women, but he thought that doing business was too hard, risky, and there were many accidents.

Meng Lan came while he was in a hurry, and returned in defeat, so he naturally didn't open his mouth about borrowing money.

She met a total of four people in one day, and the approval rate was only a quarter, and the unsettled transfer fee really made her a little discouraged.

For the first time in twenty years, she had the passion to do something, so was that the end of it?

In the evening, Shen Yu came back from school and saw that his mother was not in good spirits, so he asked her what happened.

Meng Lan was depressed, so he told the matter, thinking about Shen Yu's child, and he didn't hope to get his support, so he just wanted someone to talk to.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Yu heard it, he praised her a lot, thinking that her idea was very good.

Shen Yu and Meng Lan carefully analyzed the current situation of their school, saying that the school's day students account for two-thirds of all students, a small part of which are delivered by parents or go home to eat, and a large number of parents have no time to cook or are far away from home, so they eat in the restaurant outside the school.

The remaining one-third of the students are not used to eating meals in the cafeteria, often ordering takeout outside or asking day students to help bring food from outside, and some have been eating instant noodles in the dormitory for a long time, resulting in severe malnutrition.

In this way, except for a small number of parents who deliver meals, the rest of the school is scattered to various restaurants near the school, if you can seize this opportunity to open a distinctive restaurant and make healthy, hygienic and delicious meals, business will definitely be very prosperous.

In addition to students, there are also surrounding businesses and residents, and pedestrians are all potential customers

Shen Yu also said that if Meng Lan really opened a restaurant, he and Chang Xiao could act as free propagandists to help her attract business and ensure that she had a continuous flow of customers and money.

Meng Lan didn't expect his son to have such a flexible business mind at a young age, and while shocked, he still expressed concern that he would neglect to take care of him when he started his own business.

After all, what she found out the day before yesterday was enough for her to regret it.

Shen Yu said, "The day before yesterday was just an accident, and it has nothing to do with your mother, besides, you open a restaurant at the school gate, and I can go directly to eat after school, isn't it more convenient?" ”

Meng Lan said, "It's not just a matter of eating, I'm afraid I'm too busy to take care of you, the college entrance examination is related to your future, I'm still not at ease, or I'll wait for you to finish the exam!" ”

Shen Yu said, "Don't miss the opportunity, miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to find a good store in the future, Mom, you really don't have to worry about me, I've learned almost what I should have learned, the rest is to review and do the questions to review, even if you accompany me 24 hours a day, it won't make any difference, it's better to take this opportunity to chase your dreams and realize your life value." ”

Meng Lan was particularly pleased that her son was so sensible, she completely let go of her worries and decided to follow her heart and give it a go.

It doesn't matter if others are not optimistic, as long as her son supports her, it doesn't matter if she has no place to borrow money, just take out a loan, in short, she must open the restaurant and see how capable she is.

If she really doesn't do a good job, then she will die in the future, and when the time comes, as her father said, find a place to go to work steadily, and there will be no regrets in her heart.

The next day, Meng Lan officially began to look for a store with the right location and the right price, except for cooking and delivering food to Shen Yu, the rest of the time was spent on it.

On this day, I met with several landlords and shopkeepers, but none of them were negotiated due to various reasons such as rent, location, and store structure.

When she got home, she was so tired and exhausted that she still forced herself to make a supper for Shen Yu, and after Shen Yu finished eating supper and did her homework and went to sleep, she cleaned up the house again before going to bed and lying down.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep, and my mind is full of looking for a store.

She wondered if there was a problem with her vision and negotiation style, and whether she should ask someone for advice.

Who to look for?

Except for Ji Hong, there seems to be no one else.

I wanted to call Ji Hong to see that the time was almost twelve o'clock, and I thought that Ji Hong was also tired for a day, so don't bother her.

Otherwise, ask Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng is well-informed, and may give her some good advice.

She turned out Wei Cheng's number, hesitating whether to call now or tomorrow, but accidentally dialed it out.

Now that it's been dialed out, it looks hypocritical to hang it up again, so let's fight!

She stared at the screen and waited quietly, but she didn't expect Wei Cheng to be connected with just one sound, which scared her heart.

"Haven't slept yet?" Wei Cheng was probably too tired, and his voice was low and a little hoarse.

"Nope." Meng Lan said, "Am I bothering you?" ”

"It's not bothering, it's just scaring me." Wei Cheng said.

"Why are you scared?" Meng Lan asked.

"Because ......," Wei Cheng muttered, "because I'm downstairs from your house." ”

"Huh?" Meng Lan was surprised, got up and got out of bed, ran to the balcony and pushed open the window to look down, the cold wind poured in, and she was so cold that she was excited, and the lights of the trolley downstairs flashed twice, Wei Cheng asked, "Did you see me?" ”

"See." Meng Lan said, "Are you looking for me for something?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Wei Cheng said, "What about you, calling so late, is there something wrong?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Lan said, "I want to ask you for something." ”

"So, why don't you get down and sit in the car for a while?" Wei Cheng hesitated to extend an invitation to her.
