Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Competent Subordinate

As for Song Yingjie… if those two really should be together, that would be fine.

Xia Chuyi gave a faint smile and then turned to leave the place.

After Xia Chuyi left, Song Yingjie, who was embracing “Meng Zhaodi,” immediately panicked and let go of “Meng Zhaodi.”

He said to “Meng Zhaodi” with a guilty face, “Zhaodi, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to take liberties with you.”

“I just couldn’t help myself just now…please never think that I have any improper thoughts. To me, you are like a celestial being in my heart.”

“Without your consent, I would never engage in any intimate acts with you.”

Meng Zhaodi: … No wonder she has always been unsuccessful; it turns out that previously she was too reserved and acted too successfully, making Yingjie too afraid to make a move.

Having understood the crux, Meng Zhaodi knew what to do.

Xia Chuyi, who had already left, was unaware of their situation at this time.

However, in the time that followed, she noticed that Meng Zhaodi and Song Yingjie seemed to become increasingly intimate.

She speculated about their recent relationship based on the duo’s behavior–they probably already had made substantial progress.

It was time to take drastic measures.

Returning to “Youwei,” everyone was there.

She was about to talk to Meng Xingmang when Meng Xingmang approached her first to discuss something.

“Chuyi, we have something to tell you.” Meng Xingmang and Qian Qianqian, both very excitedly, handed her a sheet of letter paper.

Xia Chuyi took it and saw the title: “Feasibility Proposal for ‘Youwei’ to Open a Branch Near Shuimu University”

She: …

Meng Xingmang and Qian Qianqian, who were now attending vocational school together part-time at night, were just like Xia Chuyi–busy every day with school and the store.

Then, these two, one obsessed with earning money and the other enjoying the sense of achievement in business, found they had similar interests and gradually became good friends, starting to discuss opening a branch.

At that time, Xia Chuyi turned them down, saying that the matter needed careful long-term consideration and detailed planning.

Indeed, a branch is not like the main store; some aspects might not be managed as well if she could not supervise them personally.

Most importantly, she wanted the first branch to have a working plan in place when it opened, to serve as a model for future evaluation.

Thus, the matter could not be rushed.

However, these two had now directly written such a “proposal” for her.

Boss Xia felt a bit embarrassed.

The boss working harder than the employees, truly… cough cough.

Xia Chuyi steadied her mind, glanced at the proposal, and, using her knowledge of some chain foodservice businesses, marked a few places with her pen and commented on a few words, saying, “These areas could be further improved.”

Meng Xingmang took the “Proposal” back, and Qian Qianqian immediately leaned over their heads, the two quickly reading through it.

After reading it, Qian Qianqian excitedly said, “Chuyi, you’re amazing! You truly are my idol!”

Meng Xingmang nodded while reading, saying, “Chuyi, the points you wrote are indeed insightful. I’ll revise them and show you again.”

Xia Chuyi shook her head; these two were crazy.

“Xing Mang, even if your plan is very well-written, the biggest issue is… we currently don’t have enough funds.” True, their business was selling hundreds of bowls of stewed pork rice every day, with revenue lasting more than a year each month.

According to the general restaurant industry standard of 50% in costs, after expenses such as utilities, labor, and rent, the net profit could be around six to seven hundred.
