This Sichuan hotpot restaurant is packed almost every day. When Shen Shu and the other two walked in, there was a long line of customers waiting for a table at the door.

Because Fang Xin had reserved a table in advance, the three of them went straight in and sat down.

The store is quite large, and its decoration style is a copy of the nostalgic and shabby style of the 70s and 80s. This style is quite common in later generations, but it is still relatively novel in this era.

A big part of the reason why this store is so popular is because of its sentimental decoration style.

There are long tables and wooden chairs, and even the serving trays are made of bamboo grates, and the plates are also made in an antique style.

For a few moments, Shen Shu really felt like he had returned to the 1970s and 1980s.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel curious. If she really had the chance to go back to that era, wouldn't she be able to see her parents when they were little?

Thinking of this, Shen Shu couldn't help but smile.

While the soup base was not yet ready, Fang Yuanyuan took the initiative to get up and take charge of preparing the seasoning.

Fang Xin and Shen Shu chatted idly about business matters.

"We spent about 128 million to acquire the brand, buy the car, and invest in Wanle."

"There are also some investment projects you planned before, plus the projects taken over by the Investment Department, which cost nearly 30 million. The total expenditure is about 150 million."

“These investments cannot be realized quickly in the short term, so I suggest that we should develop some stable and fast-realizing businesses.”

Shen Shu agreed with Fang Xin's statement. It had only been less than a week since the 500 million yuan in demolition compensation arrived, and she had already spent so much of it.

Moreover, there are still many projects that have not been done yet, and the more than 300 million yuan she has left is simply not enough.

Moreover, there are not many plots of land that can be demolished quickly in a short period of time like this time, and she can't cash in on this anymore.

The company must have reliable pillar industries to stabilize the economic structure. Shen Shu has thought about this issue many times.

She thought about producing mobile phones, but the market is now saturated and she doesn't have the technology, so in the end Shen Shu chose to invest in several domestic brands of mobile phones with good prospects.

Shen Shu also thought about producing furniture, shelves, entering the real estate industry, etc., but in the end they were all rejected for various reasons.

After much thought, she decided that the only business that would suit her best and offer high gross margins and quick cash flow was clothing production.

Influenced by his family business since childhood, Shen Shu has a better understanding of the clothing industry.

Moreover, she studied design in her previous life. Although she was not a fashion design major, she had one biggest bonus, which was the vision of a future person.

Previously, CCi, a brand owned by the Shen family, had its main customer base consisting of financially independent people in their thirties or above, with a small number of younger customers.

Now that CCi has collapsed, the domestic market has been basically occupied by various miscellaneous brands of foreign companies, and it is difficult to get a share of it.

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope. The youth clothing styles produced by foreign companies are not very popular in China, so there is still a gap in this market.

"We can set up a clothing brand, targeting the youth customer group, a fast-fashion youth brand suitable for those aged 12 to 20."

"The clothing style must be original, the fabrics must be durable and comfortable, the price must be mid- to high-end, and they can be sold as sets..."

Hearing Shen Shu's words, Fang Xin's eyes lit up. She immediately took out the small notebook she carried with her and quickly wrote it down.

Shen Shu was amazed by this level of professionalism.

Just when the two were chatting about business, Fang Yuanyuan came back with a bowl of seasoning.

There were two female students following behind her, who looked like Fang Yuanyuan's classmates.

"They are my classmates and they want to share a table."

When Fang Yuanyuan and her group came in, the two students who were waiting in line for a seat noticed them and decided to share the table.

Fang Yuanyuan was actually not very willing to do so. She finally had the chance to have dinner with her two sisters and wanted to have some private conversations. If they shared a table, many things would become inconvenient.

Moreover, she was not familiar with these two classmates at all and they had never even spoken to each other.

Fang Yuanyuan refused directly at first, but couldn't stand their pestering, so she had to come back to ask her two sisters for their opinions.

Fang Xin booked a large table with two seats for hot pot, which was more than enough for two more people.

Shen Shu glanced at the two girls calmly. She just wanted to know how Fang Yuanyuan was doing in school, so this was a good opportunity.

"Okay, you guys take a seat."

"Thank you, sisters."

Wei Yi and Guan Shasha raised an attentive smile that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake on their faces. They sat in the innermost seats and ordered the soup base and dishes.

Fang Yuanyuan is now in the third year of junior high school, so Shen Shu, who is in the first year of high school, is only one year older than them.

But she was still wearing that smart business suit and had light makeup on her face, so Wei Yi and Guan Shasha just thought she was a white-collar worker in her twenties.

The soup base on Shen Shu's side was already boiling, so the three of them began to immerse themselves in the food without talking about business anymore.

Guan Shasha and Wei Yi chatted while the dishes were being served.

"I don't know if I can get into Zhengzhou No. 1 Middle School with my grades. My parents have even bought a house in the school district there in advance."

"Sasha, you will definitely be able to do that if you work harder. We might even be classmates by then."

Wei Yi ranks first in her class. According to her teachers, she has a good chance of being admitted to Zhengzhou Foreign Language Ordinary Class, but the possibility of her going to No. 1 Middle School is very small.

So her words did not comfort Guan Shasha much.

"Wei Yi, your grades are good enough to get into Zhengzhou Foreign Language School."

The two people's voices were not small, so Shen Shu and others sitting nearby could hear it clearly.

When talking about further studies, Fang Yuanyuan couldn't help but put herself in the picture. Her grades were good enough to get her into the No. 1 Middle School, but it would be hard for her to get into the key class.

It is unimaginable to go to a top university like Zhengzhou Foreign Language University.

Wei Yi was waiting for Guan Shasha to say this. She raised her head with pride and glanced at the reactions of Shen Shu and the others.

Being able to study foreign languages ​​in Zhengzhou is a great honor for the family. I heard that Fang Yuanyuan was transferred from the countryside, and I guess her two sisters don't have much higher education.

Thinking of this, Wei Yi began to show off her knowledge and said in a louder voice: "Shasha, have you heard of the school beauty of Zhengzhou Foreign Language School?"

Guan Shasha nodded and said excitedly: "I know, I know, it is said to be Shen Shu, the top scorer in this year's high school entrance examination."

"I heard that she was the opening singer of our provincial TV station's National Day Gala! But I was in cram school these days and didn't have time to watch it."

"She is really outstanding. Let's find some time to go to Zhengzhou Foreign Language School and see if we can run into her."

Shen Shu's hand that was picking up the food suddenly stopped, and Fang Xin who was drinking water almost choked. Fang Yuanyuan just widened her eyes and looked at Wei Yi and Guan Shasha with a weird expression.
