Chapter 66: Domineering CEOs also get anxious
"No...that's not what I meant...I just..."
The more Lin Zhe tried to explain, the more he felt he couldn't explain himself clearly. He was so nervous that sweat began to form on his forehead in the cold weather.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing Lin Zhe's speechless look, Chen Shuyue and Jiang Duoduo looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Auntie, Jiang Duoduo! I'm not very good at talking. Anyway, if you have any problems in your store in the future, you can come next door and ask me for help."
Lin Zhe gulped down several mouthfuls of the Coke in his hand before he finished saying what he wanted to say.
"Okay, then we'll thank you first!"
Seeing Lin Zhe so nervous, Chen Shuyue felt that he had some feelings for her daughter.
I was wondering if Duoduo has been having a lot of romantic opportunities lately?
"Mom, let's go in and take a look first!"
Jiang Duoduo took out a key from her coat pocket and opened the sliding door of the shop.
Just then, several customers came to the convenience store next door, so Lin Zhe went back to the store to do business.
As the sliding door rose with a whoosh, Jiang Duoduo and Chen Shuyue could see the general situation inside the store.
There was a bit more dust but no other garbage. The walls and floors looked clean and fresh.
"Duoduo, this store looks quite large. I think we can even partition off a room inside."
Chen Shuyue was the first to enter the store. She lowered her head and began to carefully measure the floor with her feet. She compared the space with Jiang Duoduo and pointed out the areas that could be partitioned.
"Mom, this place is quite large, about 80 square meters. It should be enough for a breakfast shop. We can divide it into three areas. The outermost area is the most important storefront, and we need to separate out a large room for customers to have breakfast. Inside, we can separate out two smaller rooms, one for your kitchen and one for the bathroom."
Jiang Duoduo saw her mother Chen Shuyue's excited look as if she was going to do something big, and her blood began to boil in her heart.
She told Chen Shuyue about the store area she saw on the property certificate and also talked about her layout plan for the store.
After hearing Jiang Duoduo's plan, Chen Shuyue's eyes lit up. She thought to herself that her Duoduo was very thoughtful. She even forgot that there was a need for a separate bathroom.
This street is quite far from the public toilets. When a breakfast shop opens in the future, it will be much more convenient for both myself and the customers who come to the shop for breakfast to have a toilet in the shop.
The two looked around the store, but there was really nothing to see, so they said hello to Lin Zhe from the convenience store next door and left.
Jiang Duoduo sent Chen Shuyue home and then went to work.
Regarding the store renovation, she planned to ask the project manager at Sunset Villa to help find a few skilled workers to work in the store.
In such a small space, you can just build a few partitions, then build a bathroom, and finally lay the floor tiles and paint the walls.
Jiang Duoduo estimated that the decoration would be completed in half a month.
Oh, and I also need to come up with a memorable shop name and have someone make a sign for it.
……
A week goes by quickly.
The shops on Qinfen Road have also begun renovations.
Chen Shuyue would take the bus to the store every afternoon to check the progress of the renovation.
When she goes there, she will also bring some homemade water chestnut cakes or pickled mustard greens wheat cakes.
Thanks to the decoration master, Lin Zhe can eat the snacks made by Chen Shuyue every day.
Jiang Duoduo continued to work diligently in the cram school. Winter vacation was coming soon, and she planned to resign after the students went on vacation.
By the end of the year, Mom Chen Shuyue’s breakfast shop should be open, and she will definitely go over to help then.
The overall decoration of her own Sunset Villa will be completed by the end of the year. As soon as the relevant departments start work at the beginning of next year, Jiang Duoduo will run around everywhere.
For example, applying for a business license and related certificates for a B&B.
She also needs to do preliminary promotion for the B&B, recruit relevant staff, etc., all of which Jiang Duoduo needs to do personally.
Of course, these are all later stories.
……
It's another sunny Sunday.
Today is the day Jiang Duoduo and Luo Kai agreed to invite him to dinner at their home.
Jiang Duoduo was woken up by Chen Shuyue early in the morning, asking her to accompany her to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
In fact, Jiang Duoduo didn’t know what kind of dishes Luo Kai usually liked to eat.
She had only ever had a steak at Luo Kai's...
Thinking of this, Jiang Duoduo took Chen Shuyue to buy two kilograms of high-quality beef.
She didn't know anything else, so she just let her mother Chen Shuyue buy it herself.
After all, Chen Shuyue had worked in a restaurant in town and could cook many dishes, while Jiang Duoduo could only cook rice cakes and instant noodles.
"You only know about beef? You don't know anything else?"
Chen Shuyue asked, staring into Jiang Duoduo's eyes with a look of disappointment.
"I really don't know... Mom, he was just my boss before. How can a small employee like me know what he likes to eat?"
Jiang Duoduo looked aggrieved and tried to present facts and reason with his mother.
Seeing that her daughter really didn't seem to know much about Luo Kai, Chen Shuyue had no choice but to shake her head and give up.
I sighed helplessly, thinking that I would have to buy the food for tonight myself.
After a stroll around the vegetable market, Chen Shuyue bought a carp weighing more than one kilogram, two kilograms of pork ribs, two kilograms of shrimps, a local chicken, and some lean meat, eggplants, green beans, and mushrooms.
I bought strawberries and grapes as fruit.
There were meat, vegetables, and fruits. Jiang Duoduo thought they were all delicious dishes. In the past, her family couldn't even enjoy such a delicious meal during the Chinese New Year. Luo Kai would surely like it too!
"Duoduo's mom! This is your daughter Duoduo! She's such a pretty girl!"
"Duoduo's mom! Are there guests coming to our house today? I bought so many delicious dishes. My fish is very fresh. It will be delicious whether you steam or braise it when you go back!"
Chen Shuyue nodded in response to everyone who greeted her.
Jiang Duoduo accompanied Chen Shuyue on a walk around the vegetable market and found that her mother was quite familiar with the uncles and aunts in the market. Every time they bought a vegetable, the other party would give them a bunch of green onions.
She really didn't expect that her mother had such good social skills!
After returning home, Chen Shuyue was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, while Jiang Duoduo went into the room and dived into her big bed, intending to take another nap.
Soon, it was five o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Duoduo sent a WeChat message to Luo Kai, reminding him not to forget to come home for dinner tonight.
Luo Kai, who received the WeChat message, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
He got off work early today.
Are you worried about which outfit to wear?
He feels that wearing a suit is too formal, and wearing casual clothes is not formal enough. Will wearing a coat make him look too bloated?
In short, our President Luo actually feels a bit anxious about meeting her parents-in-law...
