Ding Zhengnan wiped his mouth with his cuff and slapped his palm on the table, sternly warning Jiang Yizhou, "No more nonsense. With my mom's approval, I've decided to give you a chance to show me what you've got. I'll decide whether to invest based on your performance. Understood?"
Jiang Yizhou struggled to hold back a laugh, his facial muscles tightly tense; the scene before him was simply too serious to take seriously. "I understand."
At the dining table, Ding Zhengnan sat at one end while Jiang Yizhou held a plan regarding the Training Class at the other end. "I've noticed that people are very interested in learning Computer skills these days, or there's a huge demand for it. You know my job in the southern part of the city involves training teachers, writing teaching materials, and I have a good grasp of related course arrangements."
Jiang Yizhou went on about renting spaces, ensuring safety, recruiting promotional staff, and how he was more than willing to share the financial risks if someone else would help shoulder them.
"So, Ding Da Jie, how much are you planning to invest?" Jiang Yizhou rubbed his hands together with a big smile, as if money was within reach.
The girl sitting across from him at the old but sturdy dining table shook her head rapidly. "No way! Your tone is really off-putting. I don't want to be taken advantage of."
When asking for help, one should adopt a humble demeanor; this kind of closeness that makes one willingly hand over money is just playing tricks—don't trust a single word of it.
It was evident that Lu Yan's teachings had some effect on her daughter, though not fundamentally.
Jiang Yizhou found it strange; the girl who used to be so lively and proactive was now putting on airs. He wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yizhou walked up to the girl and bowed slightly while extending his hand. "I know it's not great to talk about money like this as friends; it can hurt our relationship. However, I still hope you can support my venture and walk this path with me!"
Out of Jiang Yizhou's sight, the girl showed a hint of panic before hesitantly reaching out her hand to shake his. "Well, since you’re sincere about it, I agree. But from now on, I’ll be your creditor, so treat me with respect!"
Jiang Yizhou looked up and suddenly thought of something funny. "Do you need a debt collector? Oh no, I mean a debt collector’s husband?"
"What kind of nonsense is that!" The girl quickly pulled her hand back and slapped Jiang Yizhou's hand away. "Focus on the serious stuff!"
"I estimate that I will need..." After being playfully scolded by the girl, Jiang Yizhou regained his composure and began discussing specific financial matters.
This conversation felt much more serious than their previous light-hearted exchanges; both were now quite earnest. "To ensure safety, we need to install good anti-theft facilities; this is essential and cannot be skimped on!"
The two were very serious about their discussion—one spoke earnestly while the other listened intently. Regardless of whether they understood everything being said, they could sense that the plan was being laid out meticulously.
"Then I'll hand over the keys to you!" Le Chunlan felt somewhat incredulous after receiving the deposit and first month's rent; this young man truly seemed capable of making decisions and was surprisingly straightforward—even if he did negotiate hard.
"Aunt Le, I might need to do some renovations in these two places; there may be some noise that could disturb others. Please be understanding!" Jiang Yizhou informed her in advance to avoid any unnecessary trouble later on.
Le Chunlan opened a clothing store on the first floor and also lived there. The three floors above are rented out.
After getting the keys, he continued to handle various procedures. In fact, with just setting up tables, chairs, and a computer, the Training Class could already open. However, the cautious and trouble-averse Jiang Yizhou still planned to go through all the formalities.
There wasn't much to it; nothing particularly difficult had come up. The only issue was that he lacked many documents. The only documents he had were ** and a temporary residence permit. Handling these matters was a bit troublesome, so he borrowed Ding Zhengnan's identity to manage them. Now he just needed to wait a few days to get everything sorted.
Next, he still needed to...
Beep beep beep...
He heard the pager go off again, and Jiang Yizhou felt a bit troubled. It seemed he had to find something for her to do; otherwise, it felt odd directing his only subordinate—himself—like a big boss. This was not the first time this had happened.
He found a phone booth and called her. Jiang Yizhou asked irritably, "What is it this time, boss?"
"How many times have I told you not to call me boss!" Ding Zhengnan instinctively retorted.
"Then how about calling you boss lady?"
"That's not okay either!" The girl thought for a moment. "Just call me like before!"
Jiang Yizhou complied, "Ding Zhengnan, fine! What’s going on?"
"How's the house situation?"
"Oh, that! I've already gotten the keys and signed the contract. Next up is the renovation! What’s up?"
"Nothing much; I'll take care of the renovation!" Ding Zhengnan said confidently, as if she were very professional.
Jiang Yizhou tilted his head and looked around, asking, "Are you really capable of that?"
"Don't forget what my family does; I can solve this in no time!"
Oh right, he almost forgot—her family was in real estate; she really was quite wealthy!
After hanging up the phone, Ding Zhengnan called her father. "Dad, I want to find a few people to renovate my room!"
"You? Renovate? Ding Zhengnan, are you serious?" Ding Dapeng found his daughter's request a bit strange. When did she become interested in such things? Although she studied design, it wasn't related to construction; it was more aligned with her grandfather's field.
"I partnered with someone to open a Training Class, and now I need renovations. Can you recommend a few people? Preferably those who are both affordable and of good quality!"
Ding Dapeng thought to himself that such good deals were hard to come by. However, since his daughter didn't understand, he could just give her a vague answer. "How about this: you go find Qi Shu, and I'll arrange it for you!"
Afterward, Ding Dapeng immediately pressed a button, and soon a female assistant entered. "Boss, what can I do for you?"
"Here's the thing: my daughter needs a few people for renovations. Find some workers for her and have them do it at cost price. Don't let her know the truth; she'll contact you!"
Ding Dapeng rubbed his temples after arranging this matter, thinking that daughters grow up too fast.
"Got it, Boss!" Qi Shu nodded. She quickly understood the underlying reason: it was just a father giving his daughter some support.
Ding Zhengnan didn't feel that asking her father for help was a lack of ability. She was already planning to supervise the site later and was determined to keep the costs down, wanting Jiang Yizhou to see how capable she really was!
