Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Jin Yu’s Return (3rd Release)

After coming to an agreement with Zhou Dinghua, Xu Niannian immediately went with Hu Yue and Xu Sisi to look for a shop.

Xu Sisi wore a face mask, revealing only a pair of shiny, large eyes.

In the end, Xu Niannian spent nearly twenty thousand yuan to purchase a large shop on Jingdu Central Street spanning two floors.

Zhou Dinghua was astonished by Xu Niannian’s willingness to spend 20,000 yuan in one go and, at the same time, became convinced that following Xu Niannian would certainly lead to a substantial profit.

Zhou Dinghua worked quickly. As soon as Xu Niannian handed over the shop to him, he began preparations immediately.

Decorating the shop and arranging the remaining various matters.

Xu Niannian returned to the hotel and immediately called Xu Erhong, asking him to send one hundred thousand Liuyue Su pastries to Jingdu.

Xu Niannian provided Xu Erhong with the shop’s address.

After noting it, Xu Erhong hurriedly said, "Niannian, wait a moment, your second uncle has something to tell you.

"What is it?" Xu Niannian asked.

Exasperated, Xu Erhong said, "Niannian, do you think we should hire a few dozen more people? The factory is now backlogged with orders of over a million every month, we simply can’t keep up, and recently Zhiqiang has negotiated agency deals in several cities, so the orders will only increase."

So soon?

Xu Niannian was shocked; she had not expected that letting go and diving in would yield such impressive results.

Hearing this, Xu Niannian didn’t hesitate and said, "Okay, second uncle, just handle it. You decide how many people we need to recruit."

Xu Erhong also mentioned, "The 100,000 Liuyue Su pastries you’re requesting now can only be delivered at least ten days from now, as Haishi also urgently needs supplies."

Now Xu Niannian felt like a hands-off manager, having left the ordering tasks entirely to Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang.

Sun Qiang and his wife’s orders were also placed directly with Xu Erhong and Xu Zhiqiang.

Xu Niannian was overjoyed to discover that the order volume had increased so much in her short absence.

At the same time, hearing that Xu Zhiqiang had independently negotiated agency deals in several cities on his own made Xu Niannian immensely proud.

Previously, she had always led Xu Zhiqiang in negotiations, with him just listening by her side.

Xu Niannian wanted him to learn from experience and had not expected him to be so capable without her.

Before she left, she only knew that her younger brother was quiet but diligent in his work.

This was a pleasant surprise indeed.

In recent days, Xu Niannian had been giving Xu Sisi porridge made with spring water, and even the drinking water had been quietly supplemented with it, albeit in small amounts.

Xu Niannian planned to head back to Nancheng after Zhou Dinghua’s shop had its grand opening.

The most important aspect of a shop is its storefront.

The decoration style mainly focused on elegance and cleanliness because they also cater to retail; Xu Niannian suggested including some small cakes and snacks for sale.

The store’s signboard wasn’t ready until the third day, a very large plaque.

It read "Xu’s Liuyue Su" in five large characters.

On the day the plaque was hung up, Xu Niannian suddenly felt a surge of pride swell within her.

How wonderful it was that her Xu’s Liuyue Su, known in a major city like Haishi, was now finally making strides into Jingdu.

That evening, Xu Niannian enjoyed a joyful dinner with Xu Sisi, Hu Yue, and the family of Zhou Dinghua.

During the dinner, Zhou Dinghua’s younger brother sneakily glanced at Xu Niannian several times, a young man in his early twenties.

Zhou Dinghua scolded his younger brother embarrassingly.

Xu Niannian didn’t mind, as the young man’s glances weren’t uncomfortable; he was rather a shy young man.

After eating and drinking in celebration, Xu Niannian returned to the hotel with Xu Sisi and Hu Yue.

Xu Erhong had already arranged for Zhao Pang to start delivering goods, which were expected to arrive in a couple of days, just in time for them to return as well.

Besides the storefront for Zhou Dinghua, Xu Niannian had also purchased several other shops.

All were in good locations, reasonably priced, and Xu Niannian, thinking they were good investments and not lacking in funds, went ahead with the purchases, knowing that real estate prices were only going to get more exaggerated over time.

Zuo Qing and the butler had been searching for nearly half a month and still hadn’t found the girl they met that day, leaving Zuo Qing feeling despondent.

When she heard a commotion ahead, Zuo Qing instinctively looked up and caught sight of a name that astonished her.

Xu’s Liuyue Su?

Wasn’t that the shop she had encountered in Haishi?

She bought two jins of Liuyue Su from there last time, and godfather really liked it.

Seeing quite a few people gathered around to watch the excitement, Zuo Qing moved forward a few steps.

"Excuse me."

The onlookers, hearing this gentle voice, subconsciously shifted to the side.

Zuo Qing ran into the shop, and the butler saw this, following her in.

At that moment, Zhou Dinghua was tidying up the shop, cleaning it thoroughly.

Hearing someone come in, he looked back instinctively.

A very delicate and gentle woman stood in front of him, dressed in a beige long dress.

"Hello, may I ask if the Liuyue Su sold here is the same as the Liuyue Su from the seaside?" Zuo Qing asked politely.

Zhou Dinghua was taken aback for a moment, "You’ve been there?"

"Yes, I bought two jins of Liuyue Su there a while ago, and it tasted very good, the name was Xu’s Liuyue Su."

"May I ask, is the Liuyue Su you’re selling from the same place as the one from the seaside?"

Zuo Qing rarely saw her godfather enjoy something so much.

Indeed, the flavor of the pastry was very good. The last time she brought two jins back for godfather, he ended up eating all of it, and in the end, he laughed and asked her, "Hey, why is there none left? I thought there was one more."

Zhou Dinghua smiled and nodded. He hadn’t expected the Liuyue Su’s fame to spread so far.

He said with a smile, "Yes, it’s the same Liuyue Su as the one sold by the seaside."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing’s face lit up with joy, "That’s wonderful, could I get two jins?"

Zhou Dinghua scratched his pants awkwardly, "I’m sorry, miss, our shop opens the day after tomorrow. We are still preparing now, and the delivery hasn’t arrived yet. If you want to buy some, come back in a couple of days."

"I see, that’s fine then."

Zuo Qing smiled happily, her mood lifted despite the goods not yet being available.

This meant that Liuyue Su would now be sold in Jingdu as well.

That’s great, so her godfather could come here to buy it whenever he craved it.

Because she learned that a Liuyue Su shop had opened in Jingdu, Zuo Qing’s disappointment from not finding the girl was somewhat diminished.

On the other side, Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang finally managed to take down all of Ye Xiangtian’s strongholds, one by one, and at last returned home.

Although they still hadn’t found evidence of Ye Xiangtian’s crimes, it was enough to give him a hard time.

Just as Jin Yu entered the house, he couldn’t wait to shout, "Wifey, wifey... I’m back."

No response!

Jin Yu puzzled, Where is everyone?

Jin Ruiyang pushed his glasses up, walking in from outside, his voice tired, "Don’t block the way, I need to rest. You’d better get ready too, we’re heading to Jingdu for the report in a couple of days."

Jin Yu’s report date in Jingdu had been moved up by more than a month.

Now not having time for this, Jin Yu frowned and searched the house, but he couldn’t find any trace of Xu Niannian.

Thinking she must have gone to her mother-in-law’s, Jin Yu didn’t even have time to take a bath before driving in a rush to Nanshui Road.

It was only after asking Yang Cuihua that he found out, Xu Niannian had gone to Jingdu to talk business and also to look for Wu Lan.

Jin Yu drove back to the courtyard immediately and called Wu Lan.

As soon as Wu Lan heard this, she said urgently, "No, Niannian hasn’t come to see me, nor has she called home. What’s going on? Did Niannian come to Jingdu? Don’t scare me, son."

When Wu Lan heard that her daughter-in-law had come to see her and had already been there for over ten days, she was quite alarmed.

She feared something might have happened, especially since her daughter-in-law was so pretty it could attract the wrong kind of attention.

Jin Yu remembered he had arranged for someone to protect Xu Niannian.

To avoid worrying Wu Lan unnecessarily, he said, "Niannian is fine, I’ve arranged for someone to protect her. She’s probably busy with business negotiations. I’ll be back in Jingdu in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lan finally felt relieved.

Her mood brightened further knowing her son would be returning to Jingdu.

Jin Ruiyang, having rested for less than two hours, was dragged onto the train by Jin Yu like a dead dog.

Their destination was Jingdu.

Although Jin Yu reassured Wu Lan not to worry on the surface, he was still concerned in his heart.

He knew Hu Yue’s skills well, and there was hardly any chance for problems, but he dreaded the possibility of "what if."
