Mei Yali didn't agree to stay at Mu Jingchen's house, but lunch and dinner were eaten at Mu Jingchen's house every day - the school cafeteria had not yet opened, and she couldn't go to the restaurant every day.

However, on the contrary, Mei Yali did not ask for his family's tuition fees anymore.

On the one hand, now she and Mu Jingchen have become friends, and on the other hand, she is not short of those hundreds of dollars now.

In order not to let Mu Jingchen not go, Mei Yali offered to let him teach her the stick technique in his spare time, "Don't play the good-looking but useless kind, I am going to use it for self-defense." ”

Mu Jingchen agreed after a little thought, and every day after that, he would spare half an hour to guide Mei Yali.

It is worth mentioning that Mei Yali met Mu Jingchen's father Mu Duanyang for the first time.

Mu Jingchen's appearance and figure are almost a copy of Mu Duanyang, but it is Mu's mother's appearance, and there is almost no similarity in Mu Jingchen.

I don't know if it's because he has experienced too many crises and faced too many difficulties, even if Mu Duanyang just sits there quietly, others can't ignore his powerful aura.

Mei Yali has a natural reverence for soldiers, especially Mu Duanyang, a soldier who is an elite soldier in the army at first glance, her kind of respect from her bones, Mu Jingchen feels it.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Mu Jingchen whispered to Mei Yali, "It turns out that you are also afraid." ”

Mei Yali gave him a blank look, "I'm in awe of the soldiers, okay?" ”

Mu Jingchen shrugged, "I think you're more like a beast's instinctive surrender to the strong. ”

Mei Yali raised her eyebrows, "It seems that your senior year of high school life is still not busy enough." ”

As soon as her words that were clearly threatening came out, Mu Jingchen immediately closed her mouth and stopped teasing her.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of dividends for barbecue restaurants in early March, and the profits of the four barbecue restaurants were added together, and the deposit in Mei Yali's hand suddenly increased by 150,000 yuan.

Coupled with the manuscript fee she saved during this time, as well as the scholarship set up within N University, her savings soared to as much as 170,000 at once.

Because they had already negotiated to open three more barbecue restaurants before the winter vacation, Mei Yali did not immediately use the money in her hand to buy a house and a store.

The locations of the three newly opened barbecue restaurants were also determined after consultation, two in City F, the closest first-tier city to City N, which is a municipality directly under the central government, and one in City L in Province D, Mu Jingchen's hometown, which is also very close to City N.

The two shops in City F were newly bought by Hua Zhikang after the New Year, so the dividend ratio of the two branches in City F remains unchanged, and Hua Zhikang still accounts for 55% of the shares, and the other three are only responsible for investment and early support, each accounting for 15% of the shares.

As for the branch in L City, because the shop that opened the store was bought by Mu Jingchen half a year ago, after the business started, the interpersonal relationship of the Mu family would also play a role, so Hua Zhikang gave up 5% of the shares in the branch in L City and transferred it to Mu Jingchen.

He originally wanted to directly exchange their respective share ratios with Mu Jingchen, but Mu Jingchen had no intention of interfering in the store's business at all, and after a fierce tug-of-war, Hua Zhikang finally made a compromise and agreed to Mu Jingchen's proposal that he would only get 5% more dividends.

Of these three shops, Mei Yali, Mu Jingchen and Su Jingting each invested 50,000 yuan - 20,000 yuan for each of the two branches in F City, and 10,000 yuan for the branch in L City.

Originally, Hua Zhikang also said whether to open a store in Z City, but this suggestion was rejected by Mei Yali.

Previously, she suggested that Hua Zhikang open a barbecue restaurant of this style and model, because she had eaten this kind of barbecue in Z City in her previous life.

Although she has borrowed from the other party's decoration style and business model in this life, she really can't do this kind of thing of "finishing other people's roads and letting others have no way out".

S and D provinces are very large, and the bustling cities around N city that are suitable for opening barbecue restaurants can't be counted on ten fingers, so she doesn't need to do business in Z city at all.

Because of her resolute attitude, Hua Zhikang didn't talk about the proposal again after mentioning it.

On the contrary, it was Mu Jingchen, who suggested that everyone take the spare money in their hands to buy a house and shop in F City, "...... The rally is already obvious, so let's do it. ”

is also a person who has relived a lifetime, Mei Yali deeply believes Mu Jingchen's words.

It's a pity that the money in her hand is not enough to buy real estate in F City.

Fortunately, Hua Zhikang opened a new Sichuan restaurant called "Huichuan Fang", which also specializes in Sichuan cuisine and hot pot, and a Cantonese restaurant called "Yuekoufu", which also serves morning tea and Cantonese lunch and dinner.

Because Hua Zhikang bought a large store with a double-storey structure and an area of more than 200 square meters on each floor, the funds required for renovation and operation are far from comparable to the previous barbecue restaurant.

According to Hua Zhikang's budget, each of the four of them invested 80,000 yuan in two new restaurants, and the dividend ratio is still according to the old practice of barbecue restaurants.

Oh, and Mu Jingchen's second cousin Jing Lang's newly opened "Jing's Medicinal Diet Health Center", Mei Yali also invested 30,000 yuan in it.

Jing Lang is Jing Yan's youngest son and is currently in his senior year.

Although he is a member of the Jing family, he did not like to study medicine since he was a child, and although he studied Chinese medicine under his father's high-pressure policy, he only wanted to do business.

In the previous three years of college, he had successively started several small businesses on his own, not to mention, he really had some talent in this area.

Several successive successful experiences gave him the courage to pursue his ideals, and seeing that he was about to usher in the end of his university life, Jinglang began to prepare for his "Jing's Medicinal Diet Health Center".

Because he had a little money saved in his previous business, even if his family objected, Jinglang still put his energy into it without hesitation.

The only fly in the ointment is that the money in his hand is only enough for him to open a small store, which is far from Jinglang's expectations.

I don't know if he really has no one to ask for help in the Jing family, not long ago, he secretly found Mu Jingchen, who had a good personal relationship with him.

Mu Jingchen had a deep talk with him and found that his idea was actually very reliable, so he called Jing Yan and helped Jing Lang intercede.

Jing Yan is very partial to Mu Jingchen, but Jing Lang refuses to practice medicine, he is not so easy to dissipate, Mu Jingchen said that his mouth is dry, and Jing Yan only retreated a small step - the Jing family will not support Jing Lang, but he will not stop Jing Lang again.

And the old man also said that if Jinglang can't make money within a year, he must obediently go home and inherit his father's business.

Jing Lang breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Mu Jingchen without a word, and then repeated the old words and asked Mu Jingchen to invest in his "Jing's Medicinal Diet Health Center".
