I was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked outside the yard.
I saw a woman wearing a gray woolen coat standing outside the yard. She looked familiar upon closer inspection. Isn't this Wang Haochen's mother, Wang Tingting?
I returned to the yard and called out to her: "Wang Tingting, are you okay?"
Seeing me, Wang Tingting smiled at me and said, "Happy New Year, Brother Chen. I'm here to pay you back."
"Pay me back?"
I was stunned again and suddenly remembered that I had paid her the hospitalization fee that day.
I then walked over to her, opened the door outside the yard, let her in and said, "How long have you been discharged from the hospital?"
"It's been a few days. I went back to my hometown these days and I just came here."
As she spoke, she took out her phone from her bag and said, "I'll scan it for you on WeChat. Is it five thousand?"
I nodded, took out my phone and opened the payment code, and she immediately scanned five thousand.
After I received it, she immediately said to me: "Brother Chen, thank you! Thank you very much for what happened last time."
"No need to thank you. I'm helping your son, but I advise you to stop doing this in the future and be nice to your son."
She nodded gently and murmured: "I know, I can't help it, but it's fine now. I have sold the house and am going to go back to my hometown to start a small business."
"Is the house sold?" I asked in surprise.
"Well," she nodded. "As a powerless woman, living in a place like this with a child is already a topic of discussion. I might as well sell this house."
I was stunned, and then asked her again: "Then how did you buy the house here in the first place?"
She smiled, lifted up the shoulder strap of her bag, and said, "This house was actually... bought by that man before, and the head of the household wrote my name on it."
The man she mentioned was probably Wang Haochen's father, but I felt that she didn't want to say more, so I didn't ask any more questions.
I nodded and was about to say goodbye to her when Xiaoman suddenly ran out: "Auntie, where is brother Haochen?"
Wang Tingting looked at Xiao Man with a smile and said, "Brother Haochen is at home."
"Hometown, where is Brother Haochen's hometown?"
"In a place far away."
"Then will Brother Haochen come back?"
Wang Tingting was silent for a while and then said: "Brother Haochen will come back when he grows up."
For children, this separation may be forever.
Because our acquaintance started because we lived in the same community, and if they moved away from here and had no ties to each other's lives, then this separation would be forever.
Xiaoman looked a little disappointed, raised his face and asked me: "Dad, can I still see Brother Haochen?"
In fact, I also missed the kid a little bit. I touched Xiaoman's head and said with a smile: "I'll see you soon. You go back to the house first. It's cold outside."
"Well, goodbye, Haochen mother." Xiaoman then made a goodbye gesture to Wang Tingting and returned to the house.
Wang Tingting was also about to leave, but I stopped her: "What, where is your hometown county?"
"Yun Yang."
"That's quite a distance! Why don't you come up when you go back?"
She shook her head and said with a wry smile: "No, this city is too sad."
Looking at her like this, she has suffered a lot of injuries!
At this time, Chen Dajiang suddenly interjected: "Indeed, this is a wounded city!"
I asked Wang Tingting again: "Have you thought about what business to do when you go back?"
She paused and took out a box of women's cigarettes from her bag, but when she opened the cigarette box, it was empty.
When I saw this, I picked up the cigarette on the small round table next to me and immediately gave her one.
After she lit her cigarette, she replied: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it. Let's talk about it when we get back."
I also lit a cigarette, smiled and said, "Is Yunyang very close to Wanzhou District?"
"Yeah, next to each other."
I immediately asked Chen Dajiang: "Dajiang, do we have a direct branch in Wanzhou?"
"This is not the case yet. Currently, only a few districts in the main city have direct stores."
I was silent for a moment and then said to Chen Dajiang: "Wanzhou is a large city with the second largest economic system in Chongqing. It is also an important transportation hub in Northeast Chongqing and the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Do you think we can open a restaurant in Wanzhou?
A direct store?”
Chen Dajiang hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said: "It is necessary. We are currently developing into districts and counties."
"Then Wanzhou will be included in the first demonstration site."
After finishing speaking, I said to Wang Tingting: "Can you do a clothing business? We will ship the goods for you, and we will be responsible for arranging the store. You are only responsible for the operation of the store... If you think there is no problem, we can discuss it in detail."
Wang Tingting looked at me and Chen Dajiang very confused. Chen Dajiang immediately took out his business card from his bag and handed it to Wang Tingting: "This is my business card. If you have any ideas, please call me."
Wang Tingting took a look at the business card and said with some surprise: "You are from Yalan Clothing!"
Chen Dajiang nodded and said: "Beauty, do you have any ideas? This is a good opportunity! We have not opened a direct store in districts or counties."
Wang Tingting said thoughtfully: "Okay, okay, but I've never done business before!"
"Then you just said you would go back and do some small business?" I asked with a smile.
Wang Tingting also laughed and said: "The small business I'm talking about is a real small business. I haven't thought about what I really want to do."
"Then we will provide you with such a platform, you can develop it, and then we will have someone to teach you how to operate it, including what kind of model it is."
"Is...is there such a good thing?" Wang Tingting looked at us with some suspicion.
Chen Dajiang said again: "What? You don't believe us!"
Chen Dajiang paused and then said: "The person standing in front of you now is the most effective person in Yalan's clothing."
Wang Tingting looked at me and Chen Dajiang, hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded immediately: "That's okay! Do I have to pay the franchise fee?"
Chen Dajiang smiled and replied: "No need, ours is not a franchise store, but a directly affiliated store. It is managed by our head office. You are only responsible for the operation of the store."
"You mean I don't have to pay anything?"
"In principle, this is the case, but you may need to pay a deposit. This is arranged by the system."
"How much is the deposit?"
"It's all the same 100,000 yuan. Of course, if you don't want to continue to cooperate, the money can be refunded at any time."
Wang Tingting hesitated for a moment, then nodded readily: "Okay, I'll do it."
I immediately said to her: "Well, if you go to our company tomorrow, go to him and he will help you handle it."
Chen Dajiang then said: "My name is Chen Dajiang. The business card I just gave you has my name, contact information, and company address on it."
"Oh, that's okay."
Wang Tingting nodded and then left. Chen Dajiang looked at her leaving figure and said twice: "Brother Feng, this woman has a good figure and face! How do you know so many beauties?"
I glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with her either. We got to know each other because Xiaoman played ball with her son."
"She has a son?"
"Yes, but they are probably divorced."
Saying that, I turned around and looked at Chen Dajiang with a smile and said, "What? You don't have a crush on her, do you?"
