Early the next morning, Wang Yan drove to the shop in Huaxiang.

Just after arriving at the shop, he saw Hua Zi sitting and talking with Lulu at the tables and chairs in the reception area. Everyone else in the shop was paying attention to the movement there, and became curious again.

Hearing the greetings from people in the shop, Hua Zi and Lulu also greeted them. Originally, Hua Zi didn't stand up, but seeing Lulu stand up alertly, he also stood up.

Wang Yan smiled friendly, waved his hand to let them sit down, and then went to get his thermos to make some tea.

At this time, Hua Zi trotted over, and came up with a toothy grin.

"Hehe, Brother Yan..."

Wang Yan glanced sideways and said: "If you have something to say, say it, don't disgust people."

Hua Zi sat opposite and whispered: "Brother Yan, you also know Lulu's situation. She has no academic qualifications and can't find a suitable job for the time being. She doesn't have much money on her, let alone finding a place to live..."

"Want her to work here?"

"Oh, dear brother, it has to be you. That's what I mean, can it be done?"

"You're also a boss with shares, why ask me about such a small thing?" Wang Yan smiled.

"Then let her do sales?"

"There are quite a few positions. Our new shop will be ready soon, it's quite big, we need a front desk to serve tea and pour water. Our maintenance center also needs someone to dock, on one hand with us, on the other hand to serve customers and do after-sales. The new shop also has a cafeteria, if she can flip a spoon, cooking is also fine."

"You're just teasing me, Brother Yan." Hua Zi said helplessly, "Then I'll let her go to the maintenance center. Lulu looks like she's diligent, and she's not stupid. She can definitely do this job well. Later, aren't we expanding customer service? If she can keep doing it, she can even be a small leader, and I'll consider myself decent."

Wang Yan laughed: "You're not just decent, you're too decent. I won't say much, you handle it yourself."

"Alright, then I'll tell her, and today I'll take her to the maintenance center to familiarize herself with the situation. As for accommodation, can I arrange for her to go to our dormitory first?"

"You can also rent one for her alone."

Hua Zi waved his hand: "Got it."

Then he trotted back, told Lulu, and heard Lulu say happily and loudly: "Really?"

"I'm also a boss, can't I make a decision on this little thing?"

"Thank you, Hua Zi, you're really good."

Hua Zi smiled embarrassedly: "I also have to thank Brother Yan, we discuss personnel issues together."

So Lulu trotted to Wang Yan, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

"Why be so polite? It has nothing to do with me, it's all with Hua Zi." Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile, "You mainly thank him. Go, go, go handle the entry procedures first, and we'll pay your social security then."

"Lulu, come with me." Hua Zi greeted, and took Lulu away while laughing and talking...

Wang Yan sipped his tea, watching the figures of the two leaving.

He changed the development path of the two, and didn't know if they could walk smoothly, and even less if Zhu Tou would still dig into his good friend's wall like in the original drama.

Of course, he would provide some help to Hua Zi in this process, but whether there would be a result was not something that could be transferred by his will. It would be good if he could assist, but he would absolutely not deliberately pursue any results. Hua Zi wanted to get ahead, but he didn't pay attention to women, so he, Wang Mou, could only do it incidentally, and would absolutely not deliberately pursue any results.

Watching Hua Zi serving Lulu, there was nothing to do in the shop, Wang Yan took his thermos, left the shop, drove out, walked less than a kilometer, and stopped at the door of a large shop.

Compared with the surrounding buildings, this shop looked quite atmospheric. On the side facing the street, the entire storefront was all clean floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the shop was a large parking lot.

And on one side of the storefront facing the street, there was a two-story building, which had been converted into a company cafeteria, and the rooms upstairs were used as employee dormitories.

There was also an open space with the cafeteria and the storefront facing the street as the length and width, which was another parking lot. Counting the two parking lots in front and behind, plus the space inside the shop, it could park nearly three hundred cars at most.

This was the new shop location found by Zhu Tou, which had now been renovated and was undergoing final finishing work, as well as the placement of some office supplies, flowers, fish, etc.

Wang Yan walked in with his thermos and saw Zhu Tou directing there.

The renovation of the shop was Wang Yan's idea, but it was Zhu Tou who followed it from beginning to end. During this period, Zhu Tou was actually quite busy, after all, he had to take care of the work of collecting cars.

However, he also had a lot of motivation. Without a whip to urge him, he was full of motivation himself. After all, there were many more debts, and now there was so much space, of course, he had to work hard to fill the cars and get these hundreds of cars into circulation as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would lose tens of thousands as soon as he opened his eyes, and he couldn't hold on.

Since partnering with Wang Yan, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time...

"Brother Yan, you're here. Look, how is it?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Very good, Zhu Tou, you are a talent."

"Oh, Brother Yan, you only know now, hahaha..."

"The work is done well." Wang Yan affirmed, then looked around at the environment inside, and said, "It looks about right, can it be moved?"

"I was just about to tell you, Brother Yan, all the work here is finished today. The remaining edges and corners, as well as office supplies, etc., are always available and can be solved at any time. I think we can move."

"Then move, what are you waiting for? Contact the housekeeping company in a while, find cleaners to come over, and clean up the places that are finished. Tomorrow is Zhou Yi, let's have a simple short meeting in the morning and move directly."

"No ceremony or anything?"

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Then we must get the scene up, and we'll also take a good omen."

"Fine, then you handle it."

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Wang Yan was never a killjoy. If they were willing to toss, let them toss. These were all small sections and had nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Leave it to me, it will definitely be lively."

Zhu Tou patted his chest and gave a thumbs up, speaking decisively and with great spirit.

He then said "Oh" again, "Is Hua Zi busy? It's just a few steps, why didn't he come over to see it together."

"Dating."

"What? Dating?"

"Look at your surprised look, our Hua Zi is not bad, he is quite charming."

"That's true, anyway, every time I go out with him, the girls on the road look at him. But this is too sudden."

"Look at you, you're not unaware of Lu Tao and Xia Lin's business, what's so sudden about this? People are just like a king looking at a green bean, they just hit it off."

"How come I can't hit it off?" Zhu Tou rubbed his shiny bald head directly.

"It's a matter of time, you can't even sleep well, do you still have time to study girls?"

"Don't say that, Brother Yan, I'm really energetic. When I go home, my mom tells me that if I were this capable when I was in school, I would have been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University. Maybe, I would have gone abroad too, hey, by then I would have seen those big foreign horses, I heard foreign girls are very open..."

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile: "So you went out just to find girls..."

"Enjoyment, you know."

"I'm a decent person, I can't be polluted by you, you do your work, I'll take a stroll and look around."

Another week of busyness passed, and on another Zhou Yi, the car dealership moved.

All employees came very early that day, followed by some arrangements, some preparatory work, and reserved a batch of good cars, driving from the original shop to the new shop.

By eight o'clock, people came one after another to send flower baskets. Some said a few words and left, while others stayed and looked around.

Wang Yan, Zhu Tou, and Hua Zi thanked the people who came to congratulate them, and greeted them to look around...

By ten o'clock in the morning, the new shop cut the ribbon and unveiled the plaque, opening for business.

At this time, the transaction customers who had been accumulated for a week handled procedures in the shop, received gifts from the car dealership, and drove away in second-hand cars with red ropes hanging on them.

Up to this point, this moving ceremony was considered over.

The people who came to support had serious business, and it was Zhou Yi, so they were all quite busy, and most of them left. However, Lu Tao and the others stayed behind, waiting to eat together at noon.

They were all quite decent, specifically asking for leave to come over. Even Xiang Nan specifically asked for half a day off to come over...

"Comrades, what do you think of today's ceremony?" Zhu Tou bit his cigarette and took the initiative to ask for praise.

"Quite good." Lu Tao and the others nodded in unison, "Very festive."

"Tsk..." Zhu Tou said, "Don't be so polite, tell the truth. Sister-in-law, you tell me, how did I do?"

Yang Xiaoyun smiled politely: "Quite good, it's just missing a pair of newlyweds getting married."

"It's settled then, when Brother Yan and you get married, this matter will be handed over to me, I guarantee to make it beautiful for you." Zhu Tou waved his hand, "Alright, you few are busy, I have something to do, I won't talk to you anymore."

He also knew that these people didn't look at his arrangement, but it didn't matter, he thought these people didn't understand.

Watching Zhu Tou leave, Xia Lin couldn't help but complain: "I say Hua Zi, you and Brother Yan didn't manage anything at all?"

"Isn't this quite good? So festive." Hua Zi clapped his hands, "What we want is festive, what we want is red and prosperous."

Lu Tao looked disgusted: "And you were studying architecture with me, this is your aesthetic? Too vulgar. Why didn't Brother Yan say anything? He shouldn't have this aesthetic?"

"From beginning to end, Brother Yan didn't say a word, and I didn't say anything either. It was all handled by Zhu Tou. Mainly Zhu Tou likes this, Brother Yan and I felt it didn't matter, since Zhu Tou was willing to handle it, we handed it over to him."

Hua Zi explained it once, then said, "You all saw it, isn't today quite good? No panic, no chaos, nothing happened, and everyone was entertained, ending perfectly. This is a good omen, definitely going to make a fortune."

Xiang Nan took the conversation: "I understand now, they don't care about the form, they value the feng shui, they look at the fortune."

"I can testify to this." Yang Xiaoyun raised her hand, "They have everything in the shop, look at that fortune tree, the big fish tank next to the front desk, there's Guan Gong over there, and Zhao Gongming in the finance room..."

She said one by one, making everyone stunned.

Hua Zi laughed: "Better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry. We don't just have these for making money, we also have those for peace. I found some, Lulu found some, Zhu Tou found the most."

Xiang Nan shook his head speechlessly: "I really admire you all."

"Don't say that, this is actually quite important." Lu Tao said, "When we do design, don't we also have to consider these?"

Everyone discussed feng shui metaphysics for a while, one sentence after another, and it was actually quite lively.

A while later, Xia Lin said: "It's been so long, why haven't we seen Brother Yan? Isn't the ceremony over? The three bosses are all chatting here, what else does this big boss have to be busy with?"

Yang Xiaoyun smiled: "Flipping the spoon in the cafeteria, he's in charge of the cooking today."

"Oh, then we're really in for a treat." Lu Tao said, "Xia Lin, you don't know, Brother Yan's cooking is very good."

"Didn't you say that before? It just happened to be a good time. Xiaoyun, it's not specifically for you, is it?"

As a woman, her feeling was clearer, and she obviously noticed Yang Xiaoyun's happiness and happiness.

Yang Xiaoyun couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising: "He said it has nothing to do with me, he just wants the brothers and sisters in the company to taste the dishes he made, to enhance cohesion."

"Can't tell, Brother Yan is quite proud."

Everyone else echoed how good Wang Yan was to Yang Xiaoyun, only Hua Zi smiled without saying a word on the side.

Because he knew very clearly that Wang Yan really thought so, this was something that had already been decided before. However, he didn't say these things, and Wang Yan was indeed very good to Yang Xiaoyun, and Yang Xiaoyun was also very good to Wang Yan.

However, if one had to distinguish between high and low in terms of feelings, from his perspective as a bystander, Yang Xiaoyun was actually higher...

As they talked, everyone went to the cafeteria in the back.

They saw Wang Yan in front of the professional kitchen stove, handling several large pots at the same time. There were stewed ones, and stir-fried ones.

Especially the stir-fried dishes, the large iron pot was full of ingredients. He didn't use much strength, just a light flip, and the vegetables in the pot were thrown high, scattered evenly, quite dashing.

Xia Lin bared her tiger teeth: "Not bad, Brother Yan, not to mention whether the food is good or not, just these two flips of the spoon, you're a professional chef, ordinary people really can't do it."

The professional chef hired to help on the side looked at Xia Lin silently. He wanted to say that he wasn't that awesome either.

Wang Yan was really professional, and he was also professional in making big pot meals, he really hadn't done less of this work...

"It's more professional to eat." Wang Yan knocked on the pot with a big spoon, "Kitchen restricted area, idlers keep out."

"It's your own kitchen, why be so particular?"

"The more it's your own, the more particular you have to be. We have dozens of employees here, if something really goes wrong, it's not a small matter. Safety and hygiene are top priorities."

"You should work at the Health Department."

"The first thing I'd do at work is check you, your ideological awareness is too low."

Xia Lin pouted: "I wanted to mix in a couple of bites, but now I have to be checked..."

"Aren't there finished ones? There are peanuts in the cold dish, and convenient chopsticks over there. There's also alcohol over there, help yourself."

Xia Lin rolled her eyes at Wang Yan's back, asked for two slices from the master cutting white meat over there, and then left while smacking her lips...

For the professional Master Wang, big pot meals for dozens of people were not a big deal. He fried, stir-fried, stewed, deep-fried, cold-mixed, and cooked, and actually managed eight dishes and one soup, with a combination of meat and vegetables, cold and hot.

After a simple speech, everyone started eating.

Lu Tao said: "Brother Yan, the food you made this time is even more delicious."

"Indeed." Xiang Nan muttered in agreement.

"Professional?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Xia Lin.

Xia Lin also raised her eyebrows in response: "There is still a lot of room for improvement."

Lulu said on the side: "This is still improvement? Brother Yan, your craftsmanship is really amazing."

"This is just the beginning. Let me tell you, his stewed old hen is the really powerful one, really. It's a pity he won't make it no matter what." Yang Xiaoyun had a face full of resentment.

"That's a great tonic, it's not good to eat too much."

"Then it's fine to supplement occasionally, you just don't want to make it."

Wang Yan turned to look at Lulu and changed the subject stiffly: "Haven't seen you for a week, are you adapting well here?"

"Especially good, I feel like this place is as warm as home, thank you Brother Yan."

"We have to unite and work together." Wang Yan then asked, "Are you and Hua Zi doing well?"

Hua Zi was eating big mouthfuls, and hearing Wang Yan's direct words, he started coughing.

"No, Brother Yan..."

"We are also doing quite well." Lulu interrupted Hua Zi's explanation and nodded with a smile.

"Oh~" There was a sound of booing at the table.

So everyone started helping Hua Zi, and Yang Xiaoyun didn't say she wanted to drink chicken soup anymore...

This moving was indeed a milestone for the second-hand car company, marking the further development and growth of the second-hand car company, but it was ultimately a small matter.

What marked the growth of the second-hand car company was the website developed by Wang Yan leading the university students.

In the new week after the car dealership moved, a user named 'Dong Che' appeared in major forums and chat rooms, leaving comments on various car-related questions, saying a lot of nonsense, and leaving the website address.

Entering it was a car forum, and what caught the eye were discussion topics that stirred up opposition, such as Mercedes-Benz crushing BMW, Audi not being a luxury car, etc.

Once people saw it, they felt like commenting. Especially the overall quality of netizens at this time was relatively high compared to more than a decade later, and they were more willing to express opinions, comment, etc.

So in the topics, there were still some professional masters PK-ing. Of course, there was also all kinds of abuse.

At this time, the network environment was relatively speaking, without so many restrictions, so the patterns of abuse were varied, which was also a big highlight.

And under the various car models collected, this is not as good as that, that is not as good as another, this gearbox is garbage, that acceleration is not good, all are comments that provoke war, just to make people oppose, make people PK.

The purpose was simple and direct, just to expand influence and attract more users.

In short, Wang Yan was quite disgusting, he was really growing wildly...
