Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1193 Business is coming
Hearing that Ji Xiaoxiao was going back to the mountain city, Ding Ermiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Okay, I miss Sister Lan too. Let's go to the mountain city first. I have plenty of time anyway."

The relationship between flesh and blood can never be severed. Ding Ermiao understood Ji Xiaoxiao's mood.

Relatively speaking, Ji Xiaoxiao is already very strong. If it were someone else who suddenly gave up the life of fine clothing and fine food, and followed him to wander around the world, he would probably cry and cry.

The two of them took the car and headed towards the mountain city.

All the way was safe, and two days later, Ji Xiaoxiao and Ding Ermiao stood on the land of the mountain city again.

Because they had contacted each other beforehand, Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao saw those familiar faces and smiles as soon as they left the bus station.

Gu Qinglan, Li Weinian, Ruping and Lin Xiruo all greeted them at the exit with great fanfare.Xie Caiwei was in trouble and couldn't get away, but she called and entrusted Li Weinian with full authority to entertain and arrange a reception banquet.

Now Sister Ruping can be said to have exchanged a shot at a gun, rented another house, opened a medium-sized hotel, hired chefs and waiters, and the business is booming.

The hotel is also located near the university town. It is also called Rupingtu Restaurant and has four rooms.There is a lobby downstairs and seven or eight private rooms upstairs.Hongyu also prospered and was promoted to lobby manager and hotel general manager.

Now that Ruping's new store has opened, Ding Ermiao definitely doesn't want to eat out, so everyone goes straight to the university town.

Taking seats in the box, everyone raised glasses to celebrate meeting again.

"Sister Lan, I heard that you found a job after you came back?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Everyone at the scene, Lin Xi is a civil servant, a mighty policewoman; Li Weinian is still the security captain, and also works as a part-time nanny for Yang Debao's family, enjoying himself; Ruping and Hongyu are guarding the restaurant, busy and happy.

Only Gu Qinglan is a jobless vagrant.Moreover, the relationship between Gu Qinglan and Ding Ermiao is also recent, so Ding Ermiao compares Gu Qinglan's future life.

"Yes, I became a self-employed person, rented a small shop, and opened a 'Niuniu Gourmet Shop'. I don't have any ambitions, as long as I don't starve to death. Besides, I don't have any diplomas, academic qualifications, or skills. I can't do anything else." Gu Qinglan said.

"Niuniu Food Store? Then I must go and visit it. By the way, congratulations to Sister Lan for becoming the shopkeeper." Ding Ermiao said with a smile.

Gu Qinglan's face turned slightly red and she said with a smile: "What we sell are all children's snacks and various delicacies. You are not a consumer of this store, so it's okay not to take a look."

Everyone laughed.

Ji Xiaoxiao opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Originally, Ji Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Xie Caiwei to take care of him and find Gu Qinglan a decent job, or cooperate to open a small company or something.But thinking about Gu Qinglan's independent personality and unwillingness to rely on others, she had no choice but to give up.

Everyone has their own way of living, and you can't force it.

Gu Qinglan himself is not greedy for money. If he loves money, he can live a very prosperous life even if he goes out to rob a tomb in three years.With her skills, what kind of tomb cannot be stolen?

Open the circle, drink freely, tell each other our feelings, and have fun.

After the meal, Ding Ermiao and others insisted on visiting Gu Qinglan's shop.Gu Qinglan had no choice but to lead everyone there.

Niu Niu Food Store, in the city center, has two street-facing shops, newly decorated, and filled with a dazzling array of various delicacies.Business was deserted, and a young working girl was playing with her mobile phone inside.

"Aren't I worthless?" Gu Qinglan looked around the shop and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"This is my hometown, Sister Lan. Just feel happy." Ding Ermiao said.

Gu Qinglan nodded and said, "I still prefer children, so it would be fun to open a children's snack shop."

"Since you like children, then get married quickly and have a few yourself..." Ji Xiaoxiao smiled kindly.

"Damn girl, you are making fun of me again!" Gu Qinglan blushed and waved her hand to hit her.

After having some fun, Ji Xiaoxiao and Ding Ermiao said goodbye.

Li Weinian had already booked a hotel for Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao on Xie Caiwei's order.Moreover, Xie Caiwei knew Ji Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so the hotel she booked was very close to Ji Xiaoxiao's natal home.

In the evening, Ji Xiaoxiao's mother came to the hotel to see her daughter as promised.When mother and daughter met, they naturally had tears in their eyes and chatted with each other.

Until late at night, Ji Xiaoxiao's brother Ji Peng drove to the hotel to pick up his mother.

Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao sent Ruan Xiu'e downstairs and handed it over to Ji Peng.

When they met again, Ji Peng looked a little embarrassed and said hello: "Er Miao, Xiaoxiao, how are you doing lately?"

"I'm fine..." Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red.They were brothers and sisters from the same family, but now they have become strangers. How can we not feel sad?
"Okay, okay, everything is fine, how about Boss Ji? We have been in a bull market recently, so we must be making a lot of money, right?" Ding Ermiao looked at Ji Peng's face and smiled.

Ji Peng shook his head depressedly and said, "Forget it, the company's market value has evaporated a lot recently..."

Ding Ermiao shrugged and said, "It's none of my business, right? We're not relatives now, and I'm poor, so it won't affect your business, right?"

"I didn't blame you..." Ji Peng smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe I was wrong at the beginning. The situation in the shopping mall is as unpredictable as people's fate. Fortune is not because of the relationship between Xiaoxiao and you. And something has changed.”

It seems that after this period of time, Ji Peng is also introspecting and feels guilty for forcing his sister to sever family ties.

"The company's development has been very good, why did the market value suddenly evaporate?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked with concern.As a former manager of Ji's Group, Ji Xiaoxiao knows the operation of the group.

Ji Peng sighed and said: "Because there is a problem with private education. Maybe our development is too impatient, so..."

"Private education, isn't it those schools? What went wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

There is a private middle school under the Ji Group, which is very large and has tens of thousands of students. It is a closed-managed school with a high enrollment rate and a good reputation.It is one of the pillar industries of Ji's Group.

"At the end of last year, the board of directors studied and believed that private education still has great prospects, so we merged with several other private schools in Shancheng area and established Ji's Education Group."

Ji Peng was silent for a while and said: "But I didn't expect that a school that was acquired has had problems in recent months. Several faculty members and students died unexpectedly. Just a few days ago, a person on duty died. School security... After being disclosed by the media, the impact was huge and affected the entire Ji's Group. It is generally believed that there was a problem with the internal management of Ji's Group, so trust was reduced and the market value evaporated."

"How could this happen?" Ji Xiaoxiao frowned.She had lived in Maoshan for several months, almost isolated from the world, but she did not expect that Ji's Group would encounter such trouble.

Ding Ermiao smiled slightly and said: "Accidental death? It seems that my business as a ghost hunter has come."

"I did ask for a Feng Shui master, but in the end... nothing happened." Ji Peng said.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Ji Xiaoxiao complained, "Did you tell me that Ermiao wouldn't help you?"

Ji Peng scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm too embarrassed to find you..."
