Chapter 235 Business is booming!
So, we trained a large number of temporary workers in your aunt's village.
Thanks to these people, we were able to successfully solve the major problem of manpower shortage. Otherwise, if we encountered peak seasons such as tourist seasons, we would have been in a real predicament!
Tables were packed everywhere, customers kept coming and going, and the staff were spinning like tops, barely having time to drink water or catch their breath!
"Zhaodi, look at the building on the left, it can accommodate 108 tables of guests at once, and the building on the right in front can accommodate 100 tables of guests at once."
Those are small private rooms. Don't be fooled by their size; you often need to book in advance, they're usually fully booked. And the cost of a single private room is quite high; Shanghai's spending power is even stronger than Beijing's.
Back when we decided to buy this land, almost everyone was skeptical.
At that time, we originally planned to set aside a portion of it to build "Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd."
However, who could have predicted that business here would be so booming! As our business continued to expand, we longed to own more land to meet our development needs, but when we went to buy more, the village refused to sell any more land under any circumstances.
Nowadays, many people want to buy land in Dongcheng District, but unfortunately, they have no way to do so.
And we, because we closely followed in your father's footsteps, were able to become wealthy.
So you see, following the right person is absolutely crucial. If it weren't for that, your Uncle Zhou would probably still be just an unknown low-level employee.
At this point, Zhou Jiefang couldn't help but beam with pride, his face radiating with joy.
Just then, Zhao Zhaodi, who was standing nearby, asked curiously:
"Uncle Zhou, how much profit does our 'Zhao's Kitchen' actually make each year?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiefang replied with a smile:
"As for the specific profit figures, you should ask your father. After all, he knows best. You know, 'Zhao's Kitchen' in Shanghai is the most profitable and highest-earning of all our stores."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiefang changed the subject, turning to look at Zhao Yuan and saying:
"Mr. Zhao, now that Zhao Di's admission notice has been delivered, has your departure date for Huacheng been confirmed? Mu Bin casually asked me about this when he called me yesterday."
"You should go to Huacheng and meet with Mu Bin first. As for me, I will take Zhao Zhaodi back to Huzhou tomorrow. After that, I will have to go back to Jinyang County. After dealing with these matters, I will take Zhaodi to Huacheng to meet up with you. After all, we are quite familiar with each other now, and we can make many decisions on our own."
Zhao Yuan said slowly and deliberately.
"Okay, I'll set off for Huacheng tomorrow. Mu Bin mentioned before that the location in Huacheng has been basically finalized, and we're just waiting to make the final decision when we get there."
Zhou Jiefang quickly agreed.
"Not bad, not bad. Next, you and Mu Bin should shift your focus to Huacheng and Shenzhen. Although Shenzhen is just a small fishing village right now, it's right next to the port city, and its development potential is immeasurable! So you must make sure to get along well with the locals. Look how smoothly things are progressing in Shanghai; that's all thanks to the great help from your brothers-in-law."
Zhao Yuan gave him earnest advice.
"Understood, Mr. Zhao! Don't worry, Mu Bin has always been good at interpersonal communication. As long as it's a place you've set your sights on, we will definitely go all out and work together to successfully complete the task!"
Zhou Jiefang responded with a broad smile.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiefang changed the subject, turned to look at Zhao Zhaodi beside him, and asked curiously:
"By the way, Zhaodi, which major did you finally choose?"
"Civil engineering? That's what my dad strongly recommended! He told me that the real estate industry definitely has huge development potential in the future. So, I thought I'd first get a general understanding of our industry. After I get to university, I'll decide which specialization is better based on the actual situation."
Zhao Zhaodi said with a serious expression.
"Hmm? As expected of a highly intelligent child, his ideas are truly far-sighted! Mr. Zhao, look at this, he has truly surpassed his teacher!"
Zhou Jiefang smiled broadly and exclaimed sincerely.
"Haha, of course! It's normal for each generation to be better than the last! These four daughters of ours are the apples of my eye, the apples of my eye, and the greatest pride of my life!"
Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Zhaodi with loving eyes, his face beaming with happiness and pride.
"Oh dear, my dad's praising me again! But to be honest, it's all thanks to your foresight, Dad! If you hadn't resolutely brought us to Beijing to make a living back then, our whole family would probably still be stuck in Zhaojia Village. In that case, with my abilities, I probably wouldn't even be able to get into a regular vocational school!"
So, I am truly grateful to my dear parents from the bottom of my heart.
Since coming to Beijing, I've been amazed to find that my parents' relationship has actually gotten better and better! Back when we lived in our hometown, I could often hear them bickering and arguing, which was quite a headache. But now, that's completely disappeared!
Zhao Zhaodi recounted these changes with a cheerful smile, while playfully winking at Zhao Yuan.
She went on to say:
"My dear dad, he's the perfect example of a prodigal son who has turned over a new leaf!"
If he were still the same jerk of a dad I remember from my childhood, I probably would have been forced to drop out of school long ago!
We really have to thank our ancestors and the Bodhisattva for their blessings, otherwise my dad would have suddenly become enlightened!
Ever since my dad suddenly had a breakthrough, our family's life has gotten better and better every day.
Ultimately, I have to thank my mom. Of course, she was in pain and prayed to the gods and Buddhas. It was her piety that moved the Bodhisattva, and that's how my dad suddenly had an epiphany.
Dad, don't worry, your daughters are definitely no less capable than other people's sons! In the future, when you and Mom get old, just relax and enjoy your retirement. Our family will easily crush those families with sons.
Zhao Zhaodi's thoughts drifted a little away.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan's face was filled with a gratified smile. He slowly reached out his hand to Zhao Zhaodi and held her hand tightly, showing his recognition and approval of his daughter as a father.
