Chapter 402: Opening a hot pot restaurant, Chen Tian's methods!

Such high returns, and with someone swearing to guarantee it for you, it was truly something that Sha Zhu, who had no wife to begin with, couldn't resist!

"Good, having your word is enough. In this day and age, how could one not be able to borrow money? You come with me to the Pigeon Market in a while, just sign your name and press your thumbprint, and those 200 yuan will be in your hands!"

Now that the economy has opened up, people do whatever makes money. Plus, the country encourages individual economy, which has truly given rise to many side paths.

It's just that Sha Zhu has no wife, no children, and doesn't even have a house at home; otherwise, if he just took something to use as collateral, it would be at least 500 yuan!

"It's fine! Don't worry, I know everyone in the Pigeon Market. The reason I have such a great opportunity to make money this time is also related to my connections!"

"To be honest, it's just going through the motions, going through the process. Whether the money is paid back or not is just a matter of my word, so you can rest assured!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still hesitant, Xu Damao continued to bluff. To be honest, in Sha Zhu's eyes, he wasn't even worth a fart!

The reason he was able to find the smuggling boat was entirely because he was thick-skinned and bold, and therefore had good luck, making a lot of money a while ago!

Sha Zhu also nodded forcefully, gritted his teeth, and agreed. This time, he was absolutely going to make a windfall!

"By the way, First Uncle, do you know where Qin Huairu is now? Is she still working at that factory?"

And Sha Zhu thought again of the obsession in his heart: Qin Huairu!

"To be honest, she left the steel rolling mill nearly ten years ago. Ever since you went to the mental hospital and Jia Dongxu died, she left the steel rolling mill for some reason!"

"After that, I never saw her return to the courtyard once. Even after Jia Zhangshi was released from prison and came to the courtyard to look for her, she didn't see anyone!"

"Zhuzi, you should give up this thought; it's been ten years! There's really no need..."

Yi Zhonghai also sighed. He never expected that after ten years, Sha Zhu would still be thinking about Qin Huairu.

And at the same time.

Qin Huairu, whom Sha Zhu had been thinking about for half his life, was at this moment riding in a small car back to Chen Tian's small western-style building.

The reason Qin Huairu left the steel rolling mill, to be honest, was also because after Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu took over his position, which naturally didn't comply with the regulations to continue existing!

However, Chen Tian also happened to plan to let Qin Huairu leave; after all, by that time, Chen Tian had already started planning many of the industries under his control.

So Qin Huairu was also the woman who helped Chen Tian manage his businesses earlier than He Yushui and the others.

Even Lou Xiaoe only started helping Chen Tian with business after Qin Huairu.

Ten years have passed, and Qin Huairu's appearance not only shows no signs of aging, but it's as if she has become ten years younger!

She is completely as young as she was when she first went on a blind date with Jia Dongxu, as if the skin on her body could be pinched to reveal water!

Moreover, the temperament on Qin Huairu's body has completely lost the sense of fatigue of a regular employee from before.

Confidence, composure, and majesty—these auras of a superior are fully displayed on Qin Huairu.

There is clearly no trace of makeup on Qin Huairu's beautiful face, yet it is so beautiful that it is somewhat impossible to look directly at!

Clearly, over these years, Chen Tian has used the resources rewarded by his system and his own ability and cultivation techniques to provide Qin Huairu and the others with quite a bit of maintenance!

"Chen Tian, the latest batch of timber has already been shipped abroad through our domestic official cargo ships. It should take about 20 days to complete the delivery!"

"This time we used a national transport ship; no one took a kickback at all, and the procedures are absolutely formal. It seems this route can become a breakthrough for our multiple collaborations in the future!"

Qin Huairu was completely like a strong working woman. As soon as she entered the room, she came to Chen Tian's side, even speaking to Chen Tian in a somewhat coquettish manner.

Clearly, Qin Huairu was helping Chen Tian manage the timber business, which was the most profitable path even back when the economy wasn't as good as it is now.

With Qin Huairu helping to manage it over the years, Chen Tian had already lost count of how much wealth he had earned through the timber industry!

Xu Damao's small-time antics these days, claiming he had made a fortune—to be honest, he hadn't even earned a fraction of one of Chen Tian's industries.

"Good, after this order is completed, you should also take a good rest for a period of time; there are other things that need you to do!"

Chen Tian also nodded. He saw Qin Huairu's changes in his eyes, and he didn't expect Qin Huairu's ability to completely exceed his expectations.

Just as Qin Huairu wanted to continue speaking, He Yushui also opened the door and walked in from outside the small western-style building.

Clearly, after knowing that Sha Zhu had returned, He Yushui was also affected in her heart; after all, no matter what, he was her own biological brother.

And she always had a premonition that giving Sha Zhu 300 yuan was harming him!

"Yushui, why did you come back so early today? Shouldn't you be working overtime at the hotel at this time?"

"Did something happen? Why is your mood so off today? Rest for a while first!"

Qin Huairu and He Yushui had lived together for nearly ten years, so naturally, she could detect He Yushui's mood.

If it were in the past, He Yushui would have a face full of smiles as soon as she entered the door; after all, these ten years had truly been very happy.

But now, the mood on He Yushui was clearly wrong; she hadn't even noticed that she and Chen Tian were at home since she entered the door.

Chen Tian also didn't speak, just glanced at He Yushui lightly. He Yushui's performance over the past ten years had made Chen Tian very satisfied!

He Yushui had a very high talent for cooking and was interested in hotel business management and the like, which had also created quite a bit of profit for him.

"Sister Qin, He Yuzhu is back. He actually came to the hotel to find me today!"

"And he insisted that I give him the position of head chef in our restaurant, but I didn't agree. I gave him a chance to interview, but he didn't even have the ability to stay in the back kitchen!"

"Later, he kept threatening me, saying that if I didn't give him money, he definitely wouldn't let it go!"

"After that, I returned the inheritance my father left him, but I always feel that he won't let this matter go just like that!"

"He hasn't known what he's been doing for ten years, and today when he came for the interview, he didn't even want to say his own name. I'm really afraid he'll come here to find me again!"

He Yushui was also becoming a bit worried; after all, these ten years had been the happiest time of her life, and she really didn't want it to be ruined by her brother again!

Especially since Sha Zhu hadn't changed at all in these ten years, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted so much money. He Yushui had earned quite a bit of money now, but she wouldn't give it to this Sha Zhu for no reason.

Sha Zhu clearly intended to treat her as a sucker; how could He Yushui, who had been doing business for so many years, not see that?

Qin Huairu was silent for a while after hearing this; she didn't expect that Sha Zhu, who had disappeared for ten years, would actually appear at this time!

And he had actually gone to the restaurant to find his own biological sister. Now that Sha Zhu knew where He Yushui worked, things might not be peaceful in the future.

"Don't worry, I will send people to monitor Sha Zhu. If he dares to cause any trouble, I will tell you immediately!"

"You, just do your restaurant business well. What do you think about what I told you before, about transforming several restaurants into hot pot restaurants?"

Chen Tian also nodded slowly; he also knew how Sha Zhu had been living these years.

However, he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Sha Zhu would suddenly run out and find He Yushui.

And Chen Tian now had so many eyes and ears in Sijiu City that he didn't know how many there were. Almost every industry had Chen Tian's eyes and ears. For such a greenhorn to want to cause any trouble, it was impossible to think!

Compared to Sha Zhu, what Chen Tian cared about more now was the hot pot restaurant he had previously asked He Yushui to open.

With various economic developments, people's tastes were becoming more and more picky; ordinary delicacies could no longer satisfy people!

And this hot pot, which was very popular in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, would definitely be a hit if it were opened in Sijiu City now...

"I have gradually tried this model in several restaurants, and the customers' reactions have been very good. I have already started preparing to purchase equipment!"

"I think within a week, three stores can be completely transformed into hot pot restaurants. We have already started preparing for the promotional work!"

Seeing Chen Tian so calm, He Yushui felt much more at ease; after all, Chen Tian's promises had never been false.

And the diners in Sijiu City were also very interested in this hot pot restaurant. Such a novel delicacy would definitely be able to take her restaurant business to the next level.

But neither Qin Huairu nor He Yushui had thought that after ten years, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Yi Zhonghai would actually get together again, and now they had even started the business of smuggling boats.

It's just that Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu had previously considered that these people doing small businesses were ordinary people, so after they did it, they usually made big things small and small things disappear.

However, the consequence caused was that the smuggling boats were becoming more and more serious now. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were afraid they were going to suffer completely this time!

Sha Zhu owed 200 yuan in usury outside and had taken out all his family wealth, actually gambling it on Xu Damao. This was completely him seeking his own death! ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
