Chapter 207 Formal Cooperation
Su Qingxue blinked and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this money came from legitimate channels, but I'll keep you in suspense for now and tell you the details later. So, what do you say? Tell me if you agree or not?"
Chen Yuan was speechless for a moment.
Su Qingxue said softly, "Don't worry, I didn't do this out of personal favor. I genuinely see your potential, and your skills are worth the price."
"Senior brother, you don't need to hesitate any longer. With such a good opportunity, why not agree? Let's work together to get the shop up and running. Isn't that better?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled softly.
"This... it's all very mysterious, but it's so sudden, I don't even know what to say. You suddenly pull out 200 million, I..."
Su Qingxue said, "I know you might find it hard to accept right now, but Senior Brother, I want to cooperate with you legitimately and be by your side. Do you understand?"
The private room fell silent, with only the steam from the white tea slowly rising into the air.
Chen Yuan did not answer, because he saw the determination and expectation in Su Qingxue's eyes.
In that instant, he realized that this was not an impulsive decision, but a choice and decision made after careful consideration.
After hesitating several times, Chen Yuan calmly said.
I promise you.
After saying that, Chen Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand, and Su Qingxue happily shook his hand, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"Ms. Su Qingxue, it's a pleasure working with you."
"Great, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Three days later, in the afternoon.
The two officially signed various agreements.
Chen Yuan even said this in front of the lawyer.
"I agree to all the terms, but we need to add a clause to the supplementary agreement: if losses are caused by force majeure, your principal must be liquidated first, and your profit sharing ratio will be 35% for the first three years after profitability. This can be considered as compensation for the cost of capital occupation."
A light suddenly lit up in Su Qingxue's eyes.
She knew this clause was very advantageous to her, and even at this point, Chen Yuan's first thought was still to minimize her losses and maximize her gains.
Su Qingxue understood Chen Yuan's intentions perfectly.
She didn't hesitate or ramble on, but spoke softly.
"Deal, is that it?"
The pen strokes across the paper, and the inkpad presses down on the red seal.
After all the contracts were signed, both of them were very clear about the situation.
This contract bound the two of them tightly together, and from then on they would walk side by side.
This matter made Su Qingxue a little too excited.
She quickly contacted the construction team, and they started decorating the site the next day.
At first, Chen Yuan was a little worried.
But when he saw Su Qingxue's decisive and efficient side, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
With this solid support, Chen Yuan could focus on his own business.
I still went to the breakfast shop to make breakfast at 4 a.m.
However, at this moment, he was less tense from carrying the burden alone and more composed.
He no longer needed to pay much attention to the renovation; he focused most of his attention on Xia Qing.
After all, the allure of these 10 signature dishes is simply too great.
After finishing my work in the morning.
Chen Yuan then went to the community service center.
Zhang Liping was looking at something when she saw him come in. She was about to get up, but he stopped her by raising his hand.
He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the other person, then got straight to the point.
"Sister Zhang, I've been very busy lately. How's things going with Xia Qing's situation?"
Zhang Liping sighed softly, her eyes revealing undisguised exhaustion and helplessness. Clearly, she was also somewhat exhausted and powerless in this matter.
"Of course it can't go on, Xia Qing's grandmother, sigh, this person... is really stubborn. Are all old people like this? She just won't agree no matter what."
"I went and talked to him. The Disabled Persons' Federation also sent someone to talk to him, but it still didn't work."
Chen Yuan quickly asked, and Zhang Liping rubbed her temples.
"This old lady is very traditional. She never wants to owe anyone anything in her life. When she hears this messy contract, which requires advance payment and installment deductions, she feels like she owes someone a favor, no matter how clearly the contract is written."
Chen Yuan quickly pressed, "Didn't I tell him last time that I wanted to buy their stall? Didn't you know about that? Why are you still asking?"
Zhang Liping said, "She said after thinking it over, she couldn't owe you such a big favor. She knew you were saying that to help them, and she couldn't take advantage of you, so she disagreed with the matter."
Chen Yuan gasped.
He knew Xia Qing's maternal grandmother was quite stubborn, but he didn't expect her to be this stubborn.
Zhang Liping noticed a change in Chen Yuan's expression and quickly offered her comfort.
"Oh, don't be like that. You probably don't deal with elderly people much. Let me tell you, all elderly people are like this; they each have their own stubborn ways."
"You have no idea how much effort it takes for our neighborhood to carry out its work."
Zhang Liping put the documents in her hand aside and said seriously.
"Moreover, the elderly person has other concerns. They are afraid that there will be any problems with the surgery, that they will not be able to keep up with the postoperative language training, and that they will end up spending money for nothing. They are also afraid that if they need to have surgery, the stall's business will decline and they will not be able to pay back the money."
"Actually, they're quite pitiful. When I visited yesterday, she held my hand and cried, saying that even though we're poor, we have our pride and can't squander other people's money. Knowing you meant well, we can't take advantage of your kindness."
"I almost cried when they told me that. Xia Qing is such a sensible child, but she's also very stubborn. I heard from the other volunteers that she's been baking cold noodles by herself for the past few days, and she's even burned her fingers with blisters."
Chen Yuan fell silent.
He originally thought the matter would be easy to resolve; as long as he paid to take care of the worries of the grandmother and grandson, they would have no reason to disagree.
But I never expected to encounter such a kind-hearted yet stubborn couple.
After much deliberation, Chen Yuan realized that he absolutely had to complete the mission, as the ten signature dishes were crucial to the survival of the restaurant.
"We can't pressure her now. I happen to be free this afternoon, so I'll go and try to persuade her."
He still had some consideration about the method Chen Yuan had proposed last time, so he discussed and studied it carefully with Zhang Liping here.
Chen Yuan said, "Sister Zhang, let's do a joint venture instead."
Zhang Liping's eyes lit up: "Tell me how the joint venture works?"
"First of all, Xia Qing's stall will be under my family's secondary sign. Everything, including cold noodles, sauces, and food containers, will be supplied directly by my store. She will be responsible for setting up the stall and grilling the food. The skills are hers, and the stall is still hers."
"While he's having surgery, I'll have Aunt Li and Hao Hao watch over this business for a few days. Once everything is finished here, I'll gradually hand it over to him."
Zhang Liping said with some concern, "Then what about your side? We're already short-handed; if we send two more people over, it'll be even more difficult."
