When they arrived at the front hall, Yan Qianshi was stroking his belly and picking his teeth.
I am negotiating hard inside, grinding my teeth and drying my mouth with others, but you are eating, drinking, and enjoying yourself outside. It is really infuriating to me.
"Brother Xian, how was your discussion with Madam?" Yan Qianshi stood up in a hurry and asked.
Chen Chang glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. But I think I'm inseparable."
Madam's attitude is actually very clear. She is not willing to live the life of a green lantern and an ancient Buddha. She also hopes to find some sustenance in life. The key is how she convinces herself that if she can overcome the hurdle in her heart.
Yan Qianshi's eyes almost narrowed and he said: "Oh, you have to be a good brother. As long as you take action, it doesn't matter what kind of lady or madam you are!"
As if he said I was a killer of young women, Chen Chang rolled his eyes at him and found a shorter person to sit in the back.
Yan Qianshi poured him a cup of tea with a smile on his face, and Chen Chang took it without politeness and drank it all into his stomach.
Yan Qianshi said impatiently: "How did we talk about it? Let's talk to my brother quickly."
Chen Chang patiently reminded in a low voice: "Brother, don't forget where this is, be careful that the walls have ears!"
After all, this is on someone else's territory, so it is obviously inappropriate for two people to discuss many details of the negotiation.
Yan Qianshi was very embarrassed and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Chen Chang closed his eyes and began to think and plan.
In fact, he knew very well that the matter had basically been settled.
To take a step back, even if the wife relapses, he is confident enough to win her back.
Now, it is time to consider how restaurants and schools will develop in the future.
To sum up, this cooperation negotiation feels a bit like a free hand, but it cannot be regarded as taking advantage of the situation. It is the most valuable thing in any era.
Without him, Songhe Tower would most likely have been sold to other buyers at a low price. Not to mention that Madam lost money, and her reputation would not be very good. After all, these properties belong to her husband's family.
It would be fine if she kept her integrity and never remarried, but if she had other thoughts, she would not be able to explain the matter in the future.
Also, even if Madam does not sell Songhe Tower, the restaurant cannot continue to operate in such a state, and it will be a matter of time before it goes bankrupt.
I heard from Yan Qianshi that the wife's husband's family was just a businessman and did not have a big tree to rely on. If there was no one to protect her, she would be swallowed up by other businesses sooner or later.
These can be regarded as failure to preserve the ancestral property of the husband's family.
Madam, I am here to save you from fire and water, you must understand my painstaking efforts.
Once this matter comes to fruition, he will have a stable financial source. In the future, it will be easy to buy a separate house for Shui Ling'er to live in.
Chen Chang never imagined that he would return to the late Northern and Southern Dynasties and still look like a worker when he first entered society.
Work to make money, earn your first pot of gold, buy a house and a car...
It’s full of memories!
Chen Chang took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Yan Qianshi looking at him with his fat cheek in his hand, and said, "Brother, there are still many things that I need your help with."
Yan Qianshi immediately sat up straight and said: "Brother Xian, what are you talking about? Just give me orders. I feel like I have nothing to do every day!"
"In this way, during this period you can go to several villages outside the city and find some refugees. The target is children, those aged seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen, which are most suitable. If they have parents, tell their parents that we
We need to set up a free school where their children can come here to study and learn calligraphy, have three meals a day, and have a place to live. Remember, we must not be thought of as human traffickers."
Yan Qianshi nodded repeatedly: "Remember. I will explain to them patiently."
"The first step must be taken care of. I don't want those children who are sneaky, sneaky, and full of bad ideas. If you get them, they will cause trouble for us!"
"I know this. I still have the ability to recognize people. I think back then, if I hadn't seen you as a good person, I wouldn't have carried you home in the heavy rain."
Chen Chang looked at him in surprise. He had never heard Yan Qianshi talk about this before. This fat man could actually read faces.
"Then look at how I look now?"
Yan Qianshi looked at Chen Chang and said, "I think you seem to be lucky!"
"How can I see it?"
"No, a woman is coming to find you."
Chen Chang turned around suddenly and saw Xiaolian.
"Chen Langjun, my wife has invited you!" Xiaolian smiled and saluted.
From the looks of it, the cooperation is probably successful.
Chen Chang didn't care about being teased by the fat man. He stood up and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Miss Xiaolian."
"Chen Langjun, please!"
Yan Qianshi winked at Chen Chang, but Chen Chang ignored him.
Chen Chang really wanted to promote this cooperation.
When he arrived in this troubled world, with his identity as an unpopular uncle of the Lou family, he was very weak and it was difficult for him to make a difference by himself.
Especially the last time Lou Qingyi was kidnapped, Chen Chang realized that in this era, we need to manage relationships.
However, at present, although he has dealt with some officials, his friendship is still shallow, and he does not have enough capital to exchange with them, so he cannot obtain equal status at all.
Chen Chang wanted to use the Songhe Tower to develop his own power. When his power grew stronger, it would be more convenient to do some things.
Chen Chang followed Xiaolian into the back hall, and saw his wife sitting in the middle alone. Shopkeeper Qiu had long since disappeared.
Chen Changxin suddenly raised his eyebrows. Could it be that this old guy took the first step because he was worried about ruining his own affairs and was afraid of being retaliated against?
Although Shopkeeper Qiu seems to have a nice face, in the business world, there are many people who are alienated from each other, and there are many people who can’t understand and understand. Chen Chang is not a god.
He looked at his wife, but saw that her face was as dark as water, without any expression, and his heart felt even colder.
"Madam, where is shopkeeper Qiu?" Chen Chang finally asked.
The lady glanced at him: "Shopkeeper Qiu had something urgent, so he left first."
Urgent?
What urgent matter can be more urgent than the future and destiny of Songhe Tower?
Could it be that shopkeeper Qiu has a son?
This old guy looks to be in his fifties and is in pretty good health!
Chen Chang asked tentatively: "What about cooperation?"
The lady sighed: "This matter of cooperation..."
Halfway through her words, the lady suddenly covered her heart and frowned slightly. Her expression looked like she was in pain, but there was an abnormal blush on her face.
Xiaolian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, are you okay?"
Chen Chang was extremely anxious. His wife felt uncomfortable earlier and later, but she felt uncomfortable now. Wouldn't it mean that the cooperation would be postponed?
However, people are the most important.
Seeing that he couldn't help, he said: "Madam, don't worry. If you have any different opinions, please speak slowly and we can still discuss it."
Now that things have come to this, Chen Chang can take a step back.
He gritted his teeth secretly, and at worst, he would give his wife a little advantage.
Xiaolian stroked Madam's chest and beat her back again. Her movements seemed extremely skillful, which showed that Madam had been suffering from this problem for a long time.
I don’t know what kind of disease this young person got.
After a while, the lady recovered slightly, but her face still looked a little paler than normal.
"Chen Langjun, I was feeling very unwell just now, which made you laugh."
People who eat whole grains can avoid minor illnesses and disasters. What’s funny? People in this era have so many red tapes.
However, seeing that his wife was fine, Chen Chang felt less depressed.
"Ma'am, just be fine."
The lady pointed behind him.
Chen Chang was surprised, there is a door behind.
Let me go?
Xiaolian coughed lightly a few times, as if she was holding back her laughter.
When the lady saw Chen Chang feeling uneasy and confused, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
This kid had always taken the initiative before, and he and Shopkeeper Qiu were fooled around by him. Now that he has regained his face, he laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, you'll know when you go over there!"
Finally, Chen Chang saw several pieces of paper filled with writing on a low table next to the door.
The ink on the paper was still wet, but he recognized it at a glance as two contracts, and the handwriting was very neat.
The contract stated the terms of installment payment, as well as the distribution of interests and rights, and even some trivial matters were written in it, filling two large sheets of paper.
In short, write down what you just stated above word for word.
Although shopkeeper Qiu looks unattractive, he does things neatly and neatly.
Chen Chang picked up one of the pieces of paper and read it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it.
The lady smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Qiu and I discussed it and agreed that the cooperation conditions proposed by Chen Langjun are acceptable. Shopkeeper Qiu drafted the contract and went out to do the business."
It seemed that he had wrongly blamed Shopkeeper Qiu. Chen Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Madam, why do you have to play such a big joke on me?"
The lady didn't answer the question at all, and said, "Look at the contract again to see if there is anything wrong with it. You and I can discuss it and make appropriate adjustments."
Madam is quite easy to talk to. I guess this is her own intention. If Shopkeeper Qiu is here, she will definitely not let Madam give in.
Chen Chang put down the contract and said: "Madam, there are no questions about the agreement at Songhe Tower. I can sign it now. However, regarding letting you manage this school, madam, can you give me a clear answer?"
?”
Madam Dai frowned slightly: "Can we discuss this matter again?"
Discuss again? When?
Chen Chang has the temperament to put things into practice immediately when he thinks of something. He can't wait that long.
Moreover, this school must be opened early so that children from poor families can study and practice calligraphy a few days earlier. Even if we have reached an agreement with my wife now, clean the house, buy daily necessities, and let Fatty Yan enroll students, there will be no one who can go back and forth like this.
The work in the coming days will not be completed.
Over there, Old Man Yan is still eagerly waiting for the school to open. If it continues to be delayed, the old man will have to hurry up again.
By cooperating with Songhelou, once the contract takes effect, he will be burdened with a huge debt. He must earn enough money for Songhelou and his wife within the specified time in order to not be considered a breach of contract.
With such housekeeping time, how can he have time to take care of school affairs.
Yan Qianshi is literate and enthusiastic, and will definitely help Zhang Luo. However, he is not only unfamiliar with the situation in Jiangling, but his role is limited.
But the wife is different. She is from the city and has her own network of connections, making it much easier to get things done.
No matter from which point of view, Chen Chang hopes that his wife will take action and become the king of children, the first female principal.
"Madam, are you still worried about the gossip outside?" Chen Chang asked straightforwardly, "In fact, madam, you don't have to think so much. I let madam manage the school, and I don't want you to be visible all the time. After all, the school is in the yard behind the restaurant.
.We are all our own people here, and there are not many opportunities to interact with outsiders. Except for being a little noisier, it is no different from when you are in your own house."
Since the death of her husband, this lady has always kept herself in the house, has little contact with the outside world, and is always hesitant when things happen.
The lady blinked and looked at him, somewhat noncommittal.
In fact, she is very willing to be with her children from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Chang said again: "Madam, if you insist on refusing, then my school will not open."
The lady asked anxiously: "Why?"
Chen Chang smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, these children I am looking for are all children from poor families. If there is no kind-hearted person staying by their side, I am afraid that they will be bullied. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them follow my own path."
Parents, although they often go hungry for three meals a day, fortunately they can be with their loved ones and share their family."
Madam suddenly realized, her eyes flashed, it turned out that this was what he was thinking about.
Seeing Madam's expression, Chen Chang hurriedly added fuel to his anger and said, "Well, actually, I can't bear to see their flesh and blood separated. What Madam did is considered the beauty of an adult. I believe those children and their parents will know one day
I will definitely be grateful to Madam for her great kindness in this matter."
Madam felt sad in her heart and tears fell from her eyes.
To be honest, this trick really worked.
However, Chen Chang did not dare to speak too harshly, otherwise his wife would really have a burden of thought. If she became depressed again, Chen Chang would lose more than she gained.
"That's all, don't say any more!" Madam took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "I'll take this job!"
"Snapped!"
Chen Chang slapped his hands suddenly, his face was filled with sadness just now, but now he was smiling happily.
Madam, if you had agreed happily earlier, why would you have asked me to waste so much time?
"Well, I would like to thank Madam for those children who are still in dire straits!" Chen Chang saluted with his hands crossed, "Since Madam has agreed, I think we can make another agreement to settle this matter clearly.
How about on paper?”
At this point, how can Madam still say "no"?
Chen Chang thought to himself: "In order to achieve great things, don't blame me for moral kidnapping."
Chen Chong picked up a pen and drafted a contract. The general meaning was to ask his wife to manage the school. To put it bluntly, she was the CEO of the education group planned by Chen Chong.
"Ma'am, please take a look!"
The madam took the contract and looked at it carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Chen Langjun's calligraphy was really good, charming and strong, like a cone painted on sand.
"Who is Chen Langjun's calligraphy master?"
Madam, the point is not the calligraphy, but the content on the paper. Women's thinking is indeed different.
"Haha, ma'am, I'm very sorry. Master, he likes to be clean, so he didn't reveal his identity far away."
"I was too abrupt!"
"Madam, what is the content of this contract?"
"Eh? Why is there still Xiaolian's?"
"It's like this. Although Xiaolian is your maid, when you are managing the school, Xiaolian is also helping the school, so naturally she needs to be paid."
The lady nodded slightly, as if she made some sense.
Xiao Lian on the side looked incredulous, could she still be paid?
Chen sang: "Miss Xiaolian, your monthly salary is consistent!"
"This is too much, too much!" Xiaolian waved her hands repeatedly.
consistent?
Shopkeeper Qiu is the chief shopkeeper of Songhe Tower, and his monthly wages are not consistent.
The wife also said: "Yes, isn't it a bit too high? Our school is not profitable!"
Who says it's not profitable? From now on this will be a cash cow.
Let's save this for later and explain it slowly to Madam.
"It's not high, I think Miss Xiaolian deserves the salary." Chen Chang said flatly.
One sentence made Xiaolian's pretty face turn red.
It feels so good to be recognized and valued by others.
Chen Chang has a lot of experience in controlling people.
Two contracts, each divided into two copies, one each for Chen Chang and his wife.
This cooperation has finally been negotiated. Next, whether Songhe Tower can be brought back to life and whether the school can be turned into what Chen Chang hopes will depend on the next series of actions.
This chapter has been completed!
