The excuse of “not having enough time” has never been valid for Zhou Jianguo.
How can you not have time? It’s said that life isn’t fair, but whether you’re rich or poor, everyone has only 24 hours a day. Why is it that some people can find time to make money while others can’t?
Time really shouldn’t take the blame.
Zhou Jianguo spoke with emphasis to Luo Bei, “You’re young and not in a relationship, so among everyone, you have the most time. If you’re willing, you can make time. If you’re not willing, don’t say you don’t have time. We’re going to launch a plan to use vending machines in our hotel. Once sales increase, so will profits. Of course, our investment won’t be small. I know you don’t have much money on hand. The money you made from stocks is for buying a car. I don’t have much money either, but we can’t let our business come to a standstill. We have to quickly make money to fill this gap.”
Luo Bei humbly accepted, “Okay, I understand. I’ll sell sugarcane.”
Her attitude was satisfactory to him, and Zhou Jianguo’s tone improved a lot. “Starting tomorrow, after dinner at home, go sell sugarcane. I’ve already talked to the supplier and bought the machine. Don’t worry, I won’t let you have no time to sleep. You’ll be back by around 10 pm, and after taking a shower, it’ll be eleven o’clock. You’ll be able to fall asleep right away. Wake up at 7 am, and you’ll have had eight hours of sleep, enough energy to work the next day.”
“Okay,” Luo Bei nodded in agreement.
She couldn’t argue with what he said. Indeed, during the time from after work to sleep, she did have some free time. Making a few hundred yuan would be great.
Zhuo Jianguo is right. If they want to expand their business in the unmanned store, they need to invest more. She has already invested all her remaining money in stocks and cannot afford to invest more. He is in the same situation. Therefore, they need to find a way to earn more money as soon as possible. Selling sugarcane is a small business, but it shouldn’t be underestimated because it has low costs and high profits.
In the short term, selling sugarcane is the best way to make money. After all, it didn’t cost much, although they need to avoid the urban management officers….
Then, Zhou Jianguo said, “Actually, I plan to quit my job when the profit of this business exceeds several times our salary. You said before that with the development of the Internet, many things can be bought online. If the prospect is good, we can also open an online store.”
Before meeting Zhou Jianguo, Luo Bei’s biggest plan was to pay off her debts, save more money, and buy a small house in a better neighborhood. But after meeting Zhou Jianguo, she also wanted to conquer the world and become a wealthy woman with a house and a car….
Luo Bei nodded vigorously, “Okay!”
They looked at each other and smiled. To be honest, it’s not easy to find people who share the same goals and are willing to cooperate with you these days.
Zhou Jianguo was grateful that he found Luo Bei to do business with, and Luo Bei was grateful that she won 50,000 yuan that day, otherwise she might have missed this opportunity.
They should have celebrated with a drink at this moment, but both of them sat down and together finished the bag of sugarcane that Zhou Jianguo had prepared.
To Luo Bei, it was really sweet.
When everyone found out that Luo Bei was going to sell sugarcane with Zhou Jianguo, they all expressed their high concern for her.
Grandma Luo thought it was because the business of the unmanned shop was losing money, so she took out her savings passbook. Although there wasn’t much money, it was what she had saved by living frugally. Originally, she wanted to save more for Luo Bei’s dowry when she got married in the future, but the situation was different now, so she had to take it out in advance.
Zhao Pianpian was a hidden rich woman, holding five million in her hands, but she basically spent her money on her children and never spent it extravagantly. The money she currently used was also the money she saved when she worked at Lei’s Group. She hadn’t touched the five million yet. She said that if Luo Bei needed it, she could take it out anytime to give it to her.
Although Jiang Sihan is not considered rich at the moment, he is very thrifty. He basically doesn’t spend money on the set and saves his income. He also has some savings. When he learned from Zhao Pianpian that Luo Bei was going to sell sugarcane, he thought that there was a problem with the business and asked Luo Bei for her account number so he could transfer money to her anytime.
When Luo Bei called Fang Jingzhou, she always regarded herself as his friend rather than an elder. She also shared the matter of selling sugarcane with him.
Fang Jingzhou didn’t think about the business losing money. He said straightforwardly, “If I were with Beibei, I could help Beibei sell sugarcane.”
He is really adorable.
“Well, you can also help Beibei do many things. Of course, if your arithmetic is good, you can help her collect money and give change.” Nowadays, kindergarten is not like when she was young. They teach phonics and arithmetic, and there are activities every week. Luo Bei said this to encourage Fang Jingzhou to study hard.
Fang Jingzhou was really taken in by this and immediately boasted, “Our teacher said I am very smart, and I am the best in the class at arithmetic! Although I started learning later than the others, I am better than all of them!”
“I knew it, your memory is much better than mine. When I was your age, I couldn’t even remember phone numbers well. So you should learn arithmetic well and help us with money counting in the future, okay?”
“Okay!” Fang Jingzhou happily agreed, “Beibei, when I learn to write more words, I’ll write you a letter.”
After hearing Fang Jingzhou’s words, Luo Bei suddenly thought of a mobile game she played before, where players raised a virtual pet frog and often sent postcards when they were away from home.
Associating Fang Jingzhou with that cute little frog, Luo Bei couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, if you encounter words you can’t write, just use pinyin, I can still understand. I really want to receive your letter soon.”
“Beibei, are you in love?” Fang Jingzhou asked.
“Why do you ask that?” Luo Bei had every reason to suspect that Grandma and Zhao Pianpian wanted to use Fang Jingzhou to inquire about her personal life.
“I see our teacher has boyfriends, do you have one?” Fang Jingzhou was like a little imp, “Don’t worry, when I grow up, I’ll find you a boyfriend.”
Luo Bei teased him, “When you grow up, I’ll already be in my forties.”
Although Fang Jingzhou was good at arithmetic, he didn’t really have a concept of age. “Being in your forties is still ‘Beibei’.”
“Okay, if I still haven’t found a boyfriend in the future, you can introduce someone to me.”
“It won’t be that bad,” Fang Jingzhou comforted Luo Bei.
Luo Bei : “……”
Fang Jingzhou was really gossiping, “No one is pursuing you?”
Is this child really only five years old? Why does he understand so much? When she was his age, all she knew was playing with mud and playing house!
“No.”
“How come? Are Uncle Xiao Jiang and Uncle Xiao Zhou not human?”
Luo Bei was really amused by his words, “They are Beibei’s good friends, they didn’t pursue me.”
Fang Jingzhou sighed sadly, “Then they have no taste. Beibei, if they were pursuing you, who would you choose to date?”
The kids nowadays are really something else!
One is more cunning than the other, one is more mature than the other at an earlier age. It’s surprising that they know so much.
Since he asked, Luo Bei had to answer seriously. She started thinking, but in fact, she didn’t know. She had never thought about it and neither of these two people could like her.
One was obsessed with his acting career, and the other just wanted to make money. Neither has the thought of falling in love!
Luo Bei was stumped by the question, so she asked Fang Jing Zhou, “What do you think?”
Fang Jing Zhou answered like a little adult, “I think it’s Uncle Xiao Zhou!”
“Why? Uncle Xiao Jiang is handsome too.
“Then it’s Uncle Xiao Jiang.”
“Why? Uncle Xiao Zhou is a nice person too.”
Fang Jingzhou sighed, “You want both of them, that’s not good.”
Reflecting on what the child had just taught her, Luo Bei immediately said, “You’re right, it’s not good. But you asked me a difficult question. It’s like when I was a child and couldn’t decide whether Tsinghua University or Peking University was better!”
“But as an adult, shouldn’t you know who you like?” Fang Jingzhou asked a thought-provoking question, hitting Luo Bei’s innermost thoughts.
“I like them both, but it’s a friend’s kind of liking, just like I like you,” Luo Bei finally said, “Here’s the deal, Jingzhou. If I fall in love with someone and want to date him, I’ll tell you first. Then you can help me evaluate him, okay?”
“Okay!” Fang Jingzhou replied. “But you can’t like two people at the same time, that’s not good.”
“Of course, Beibei won’t like two people at the same time,” Luo Bei humbly accepted Fang’s teachings. “And you can only like one person at a time. People’s heart is small, it can only accommodate one person. But right now, Beibei has no one in her heart. I’ll let you know when it’s occupied.”
“If someone moves into the little house, will you know?”
The understanding and thinking of a domineering CEO are really different from ordinary people, at least in the eyes of Luo Bei, the things that Fang Jingzhou asks and says are very philosophical. It is indeed possible for some people to fall in love with someone without realizing it.
“I think so,” Luo Bei replied.
“How do you know?” Fang Jingzhou’s thirst for knowledge is really strong.
Luo Bei thought for a moment and said, “If I am willing to give him a good morning kiss and a goodnight kiss every day, then it means he has already moved into the little house in my heart.”
Fang Jingzhou remembered that Luo Bei used to give him a good morning kiss and a goodnight kiss often, and smiled proudly, “Then I must have moved into the little house in Beibei’s heart a long time ago.”
Luo Bei laughed heartily, “Yes, yes!”
