Why don't you go find Lao Mei yourself

He stopped eating his breakfast in silence, no longer making a sound

She looked at Guan Zhi inquiringly, and Guan Zhi smiled without speaking

On that day, Lan Ning was wearing a polyester-wool sweater, paired with knee-length wool trousers, all in black. The boots that Guan Zhi took out were also black, adorned with two butterfly-shaped metal buckles at the calf, complementing Lan Ning's outfit like twinkling stars in the night sky, creating a perfect match

With a raised eyebrow and a playful smile, she said, "Isn't this just to make it convenient for you to act like a rogue!"

Guan Zhi said: "Lan Ning, did you first discuss cooperation with me before approaching Jing Yangchun? I haven't got this order wrong, have I?"

The next morning, Lan Ning deliberately woke up early, leaving the small bed that Guan Zhi was not accustomed to, and returned to his own room to sleep.

However, Guan Zhi was suddenly inspired and became attached, his hands becoming rather unruly

Guan Zhi Xiao asked: "Do you really want to take on the order for the scenery of the spring? Are you willing to create a business out of thin air for them to increase your sales?"

Lan Ning protected both above and below, scolding and pulling at Guan Zhi, which finally made him laugh heartily. He kissed her fiercely before finally letting her go

Lan Ning hurriedly tidied his hair and clothes, scolding him: "Scoundrel, always dragging others down with you"

Wan Zexuan stopped her hands and looked at her young granddaughter, then brewed another pot of Mao Feng tea. The teapot used for brewing was an old purple clay teapot, engraved with several stalks of daylilies.

let out a sigh of "ah"

You are discriminating against domestic cars. " Guan Zhi saw that she had already put on her coat, so he took a pair of boots from the shoe cabinet and handed them to her feet

Lan Ning scoffed, "You won't die from beauty." She turned to push him away, but her hand ended up in the wrong place. She shouted, "Guan Zhi, I seriously warn you, do not wander around the house in a tank top and shorts!"

Lan Ning nodded

If he is interested, I think I have a preliminary idea that I can discuss with him

Many years later, Lan Ning found herself unable to refuse the inheritance left to her by her grandfather because of this scene that she recalled, yet she would secretly scold herself for finally becoming a member of the "nepo baby" generation

Sitting cross-legged on the tatami with a breakfast tray, she noticed that Guan Zhi's laptop was still on the low table, the power light blinking. She couldn't help but mutter, "What a scatterbrain Guan Zhi is." However, with nothing else to do, she decided to connect to the internet and browse the news.

Stop yawning: "You are just like Mission: Impossible." Still, the topic was diverted, "The equipment they used is truly remarkable, the yield of the shrimp with starch is excellent, the shrimp is both tender and springy. I will bring some back another day to make Longjing shrimp for you."

Finally, Lansheng took out a savings book and handed it to Lanning. He said to Lanning: "Your attitude is very supported by your father, but after marriage, it is about the daily necessities of life, not just a simple matter of how much you contribute and how much I contribute. Ningning, this is the dowry money left to you by your grandfather. Your grandfather hopes you will live happily."

Lan Ning, unfazed by the confinement, responded with a smile, saying, "Why not a win-win situation?" She appeared spirited and brushed aside her bangs.

She smiled confidently at Guan Zhi, then hurriedly finished her makeup

Lan Ning continued to speak for himself: "I think that since they have reached this level, there is no reason for a large factory to only serve ten stores, right?"

Lan Ning also took a liking to it, so he and Guan Zhi each paid half of the house payment.

Lan Ning calculated with his fingers: "Given the scale of this factory, providing food processing for only about ten restaurants seems like a waste of resources, doesn't it?"

Lan Ning busied herself, thinking that it was fine to let Guan Zhi consider it thoroughly and discuss it again in the evening. She had sincerity and ideas, and after putting them into action, she had even more execution ability. Guan Zhi was someone who would take a comprehensive approach to consideration.

Lan Ning straightforwardly asked, "Is Lao Mei trying to secure the catering service project for the World Expo? With such a processing plant, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort." She then asked Guan Zhi, "Your company is involved in this project, right?"

However, Lan Ning's wide-eyed and candid demeanor was indeed a confirmation of this. Guan Zhi thought that Lan Ning never concealed his thoughts and emotions, which truly could not be considered a good habit

Lan Ning waved her hand, not wanting to talk any longer. She said, "I am leaving, I am leaving, otherwise I will really be late"

Lan Ning has always believed that anyone who can master their work with ease is a general. She admires her grandfather's strategic prowess in the kitchen. Her grandfather made her Taibai rice cakes and Xue Mei Niang as snacks, two exquisite desserts placed in a white porcelain bowl. She had a sudden inspiration and said: "At that time, the bright moon was present, illuminating the return of colorful clouds"

However, Guanzhi was propping his head up while sitting beside him. He said, "Lanning, what you just said is incorrect; it is clearly I who was dragged down by you." He noticed that there was still half a piece of bread left on her plate, picked it up and put it in his mouth, and asked, "You are really too self-serving, leaving me just this half piece of bread. I give you two choices: one is to bake me two more pieces, the other—"

Is your company capable of handling marketing planning at this level

Lan Ning said to his mother: "Women have long supported half the sky, do you still think it is the era when Dad was responsible for the television, bicycle, and sewing machine trio?"

Nonsense, my grandfather has always treated his juniors with respect

Excessive sincerity is akin to a knife

It is worth mentioning that Lan Ning was raised single-handedly by her grandfather, Wan Zexuan

Lan Ning muttered: "I still don't know what kind of hired gun they have engaged."

This indeed counts as a significant move within the domestic catering industry

However, at that time, it was not a big issue to stop the payment of this money; she gritted her teeth and took out this money, which somewhat resembled the act of inflating one's own importance.

Guan Zhi propped his cheek up and lazily said: "My dear wife, do you have any new and interesting ideas? Are you planning to ask Lao Mei to increase the investment again?"

The chewing motion in his mouth came to an abrupt halt, and he stared at Lan Ning for a few seconds before swallowing the food. He was indeed somewhat surprised and remarked, "This is something new, but I am not sure about it."

Lan Ning sincerely stated: "This is the true role of consulting marketing, isn't it? Moreover, I believe my concept can bring them new profit points. As long as they recognize it, I will be able to devote myself fully"

Guan Zhi snatched the orange juice from her hand and took a sip, saying: "Lan Ning, are you implying that our marriage certificate is a cooperation contract?"

Guan Zhi smiled and said: "You are stealing my business."

Lan Ningang raised his head and said: "We have a first-class planning team and trainers. We have previously engaged in the planning of business channels."

Lan Ning returned home, took a morning shower, got dressed, and opened the window. Downstairs, the elderly residents of the community were practicing Tai Chi, performing the cloud hands and pushing palms, exuding a sense of leisure and order. She stared for a while before she began to prepare herself a glass of orange juice and toasted two slices of bread

Suddenly, a lazy voice came from behind, saying: "In the midst of the financial tsunami, there are still enterprises with such drive; can't you think in a positive direction?"

However, Guan Zhi's friend works for a real estate company, and the properties here are purchased at internal prices, which are 30 to 40 percent cheaper than the market price. Therefore, this defect can be overcome

Lan Ning pressed her face against the passbook, just as she did when she was a child, resting on her grandfather's knee

Contentedly enjoying her breakfast, she remarked, "Haven't you heard that lazy people tend to gather together? After all, you are living in the same nest as me"

The factory depicted in the blueprint is meticulously organized. Guanzhi explained to Lan Ning: "The cold chain and thermal processing, as well as warehousing and logistics, are all fully integrated"

Wan Liyin noticed her daughter's awkward situation and couldn't help but poke her forehead with her finger, exclaiming: "How could I have given birth to such a stubborn child? It is only natural for the man to buy the house in this situation."

He opened an image, which was a floor plan of a large factory. At a glance, it was quite impressive, covering an area of fifty acres. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Mei truly has a grand vision; it turns out that standardization can achieve this level."

Wan Liyin still said a few words to Lan Ning, "Daughters are just a financial burden." Lan Ning then asked her father, "Is Grandpa really my father?" This made Wan Liyin so angry that she ignored both of them.

Do you think this idea is suitable for "Jingyangchun"

Lan Ning turned his thoughts around and suddenly had another idea. He prepared a breakfast identical to the one he had made for himself and delivered the plate to Guan Zhi, first scolding him: "Just be lazy to death!"

Lan Ning had already rushed down the stairs

She sat down opposite him, made herself another glass of orange juice with the juicer, and amidst the "rumbling" sound of the machine, asked: "Apart from competing for the World Expo project, will Jingyangchun also undertake other projects simultaneously?"

She raised her eyes to look directly at her, gradually showing a smile, and said: "That would have to be asked of Old Mei"

With a sandwich clenched in his mouth, he mumbled for a long time, unsure whether it was an affirmation or a negation

Lan Ning could imagine that such daylilies should be a deep azure color, but over time, they inevitably fade. Grandfather's fingers gently brushed over the pattern of the flower, his gaze becoming distant and vacant

He intended to tap her forehead, but she dodged it. Taking advantage of the situation, he nestled beside her, wrapping his arms around her body, and began to operate on the keyboard with a "tap-tap-tap" sound.

Before closing the door, she reminded her: "You should also think about what gift to buy for grandma"

Guan Zhi smiled as he looked at her, while she continued to speak to herself with sparkling eyes: "If he finds my analysis and suggestions feasible, we can discuss the next steps. If he is not interested—" She shrugged and said to Guan Zhi, "What do you think?"

Wrong, it is a closure, this is not only a win-win situation, but also a triple win.

Local news websites are filled with reports on the struggles of businesses and the employment challenges faced by migrant workers, with few uplifting stories to be found. However, upon reviewing the articles, there is one that stands out, titled "The local catering industry undergoes significant reforms during the off-season, with large processing plants pioneering new ideas for catering standardization." The focus of the news is on Jingyangchun, discussing their recent new plans.

At the age of three, Wan Zexuan taught Lan Ning to recite Song poetry, teaching a few lines sporadically. Lan Ning, with childlike innocence, learned to recite "The falling flowers stand alone, the light rain sees the swallows flying in pairs." Wan Zexuan then taught, "At that time, the bright moon was present, and it once illuminated the colorful clouds returning."

Lan Ning lazily turned her head back, scoffing: "The data from last year has been released, and the year-on-year growth of this industry in the total retail sales of consumer goods has significantly decreased. I find it quite intriguing"

She first jogged two laps in the morning, then ran two laps on the track at the basketball court in the community. In the distance, the sound of a train rumbled by, marking the beginning of a busy morning.

Come on, your car isn't broken yet. If you just change it casually, from your grandfather to your mother, it would be me who suffers the most

He asked her: "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

The transportation in this community is very convenient, and the internal facilities are quite complete, not only featuring a basketball court but also a temperature-controlled swimming pool. When Lan Ning initially decided to purchase a property here, it was precisely these two points that attracted her. However, the only drawback is that it is somewhat far from the large shopping center.

Lan Ning replied: "Come on, I don't expect your little QQ; even taxis look down on your speed when you get on the elevated road."

Lan Ning poured out the orange juice and took a sip: "He is busier than Chairman Hu, more prominent than Jackie Chan, and harbors more resentment towards Luo Dainian than Yue Pingchuan does"

Lan Ning put on her boots, and Guan Zhi opened the door for her, saying: "How about I go change the car tomorrow? A new model from Volkswagen is coming out."

Lan Ning angrily withdrew her hand, not too surprised to see his shorts pitched like a small tent, and cursed, "Pervert"

Wan Zexuan is a slender elderly man who, before cooking, wears a neatly pressed chef's uniform, impeccably white. While cooking, he is focused, mastering the timing perfectly

Will they be interested in being a semi-finished product supplier for other restaurants

He smirked and placed his hand on her thigh, but was forcefully swatted away by Lan Ning. She stood up and said, "Consider me intimidated by you."

Lansen was reading the newspaper when she heard the mother and daughter discussing this issue. She nodded and said, "Let’s heed Ning Ning’s opinion; the equality between both parties in a marriage can begin with economic equality. The man's family certainly does not care about this money, but allowing Ning Ning to bear the burden is a certain attitude."

about ten families

Lan Ning asked Guan Zhi: "How many restaurants have they opened now?"
