I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.

Luo Yumei looked at him.

"Liu Qiang is here?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Just arrived in Qingyang, coming right away."

Luo Yumei's eyes lit up.

"That's perfect. Let him come and take a look. After all, he's the company's vice president, so he needs to get familiar with the place."

A dozen minutes later, the elevator doors opened, and Liu Qiang walked out.

He looked very energetic, but his expression showed a mix of nervousness, excitement, and disbelief.

As he stepped out of the elevator, the first thing he saw was Luo Fei.

"Brother Fei!"

He walked over quickly and saw Luo Yumei standing by the window.

"aunt!"

Luo Yumei nodded with a smile.

"Qiangzi, you're here."

Liu Qiang walked up to them, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire floor.

His eyes slowly widened.

"Will the company be operating here from now on? This whole floor?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Yes, all of them."

Liu Qiang gasped.

He looked at Luo Fei.

"Brother Fei, what you've done..."

He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to express it.

Luo Fei patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much about it. In the future, you should help your aunt with the company's affairs as much as possible."

Liu Qiang took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Don't worry, Fei-ge, I'll definitely work my hardest!"

Luo Fei turned around and looked at Manager Li.

"Manager Li, this is Liu Qiang, the company's vice president. Contact him if you need anything in the future."

Manager Li immediately stepped forward and grasped Liu Qiang's hands with both of his.

"Hello, Mr. Liu! I'm the building's property manager, my surname is Li, you can just call me Xiao Li! Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything!"

Liu Qiang was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm.

"Manager Li, you're too kind. Just call me Liu Qiang."

Manager Li waved his hand repeatedly.

"How can that be? Mr. Liu is Mr. Liu."

Just then, the elevator doors opened again.

Xiao Zhang strode out, holding a folder in his hand.

He walked over to Manager Li and whispered a few words to him.

Manager Li nodded, took the folder, and turned to Luo Yumei.

"Ms. Luo, this is the building's lease agreement. Would you like to take it home and review it first, or sign it today?"

Luo Yumei looked at Luo Fei.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Just sign it."

Luo Yumei took the folder and opened it.

The contract was only a few pages long, but she read it very carefully.

Turn the pages one by one.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was looking at it very intently.

Liu Qiang, who was standing to the side, also went over to take a look.

Although this was his first time dealing with this type of contract, he had signed many contracts over the years of selling cars, so he could understand the basic terms.

The two watched it together for a few minutes.

Luo Yumei raised her head.

"Xiaofei, I've finished reading it. The terms are fine."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Then sign it."

Luo Yumei took out a pen from her bag and signed her name on the last page.

Manager Li took the contract, glanced at it, and smiled broadly.

"Ms. Luo, congratulations! From now on, this entire top floor is yours! I'll have someone deliver the keys tomorrow."

Luo Yumei nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Manager Li."

Manager Li took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo Yumei and Liu Qiang with both hands.

"This is my business card with my phone number on it. Ms. Luo, Mr. Liu, please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions. My phone is on 24/7!"

Luo Yumei took the business card and put it in her bag.

Liu Qiang took the business card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket.

Manager Li then turned to Luo Fei.

"Mr. Luo, we'll be going now. Please feel free to let us know if you need anything."

Luo Fei nodded.

Manager Li led Consultant Zhang toward the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and the top floor fell silent.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the three people.

Luo Yumei stood by the window, looking at the entire view of Qingyang County outside.

In the distance are rolling mountains, and nearby are scattered buildings.

The streets were bustling with cars and crowds.

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

All of this happened too fast.

She turned her head and looked at Luo Fei.

Luo Fei was standing to the side, his expression calm.

"Xiao Fei".

"Um?"

"Thanks."

Luo Fei glanced at her.

"Aunt, we're family, let's not talk about this."

Liu Qiang chimed in from the side.

"Auntie, Fei-ge is right. We're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. From now on, I'll assist you with the company's affairs, and we'll work together to build it up!"

Luo Yumei smiled.

"Okay, let's do it together."

The three people stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

After a while, Luo Fei spoke.

"Auntie, there's something I want to ask you."

Luo Yumei turned her head.

"What is it?"

"Patents," Luo Fei said. "The formula for Qing Si Tang's products was given to you by me. But since you're starting a company, you need to protect your own things. Have you registered the patents?"

Luo Yumei was stunned for a moment.

"Patents? I haven't had time to get them yet."

She thought about it.

"I've been so busy finding factory space and offices that I haven't even thought about the patents yet. Do I need to apply for one specifically for this?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Yes, we need to. And we need to do it as soon as possible. The product hasn't been launched yet, so it's still not too late to apply."

Luo Yumei's expression turned serious.

"I'll go get it done tomorrow. Where do I apply for this? What documents do I need?"

Luo Fei said.

"I'll send you the process later. I'll have Liu Qiang prepare the necessary materials for you."

Liu Qiang nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take care of these things."

Luo Yumei breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

The three continued discussing the company's layout and how the space should be divided.

Where should the general manager's office be located? How big should the finance office be? How many seats should be arranged in the meeting room? How should the employee area be laid out?

Although it was Liu Qiang's first time encountering these things, he was quick-witted and talkative, asking all sorts of questions, and soon he had some ideas.

Luo Yumei was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt, but seeing his positive attitude now, she felt much more at ease.

Time flies, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yumei glanced at her phone.

"It's almost noon, let's eat first. We can continue thinking about it this afternoon."

Liu Qiang nodded immediately.

"Okay! What would you like to eat, Auntie? It's on me!"

Luo Yumei smiled.

"You just resigned, why are you treating everyone? I'm treating today as a welcome back to the company."

Liu Qiang scratched his head.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

The three of them went downstairs.

Manager Li appeared out of nowhere and personally escorted them to the door.

"Mr. Luo, Ms. Luo, Mr. Liu, take care! Please call us anytime if you need anything!"

Luo Fei nodded, and the three of them got into the car.

Luo Yumei chose a restaurant she had eaten at before, called "Juxianlou", which is a well-known place in Qingyang County.

The food was pretty good, and the environment was alright too.

The three followed the waiter to an empty seat. The waiter handed them the menu, and Luo Yumei asked Liu Qiang to order.

Liu Qiang didn't stand on ceremony and ordered two of his signature dishes, then asked Luo Yumei and Luo Fei to order a few more.

While waiting for the food, the three continued to chat about company matters.

"Qiangzi, go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow and change the company address," Luo Yumei said. "The business license shows the old address; it needs to be changed to Jinding Building."

Liu Qiang nodded.

"Okay, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."

"The current renovation is fine; we just need to make a few minor changes," Luo Yumei continued. "The company logo also needs a proper design. Xiaofei, you hired your classmate to take a look at that old house, right? Why don't we have her take a look too?"

Luo Fei thought for a moment.

"Okay, I'll ask her if she has time later."

"it is good."

The dishes were served one after another.

The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was just right.

suddenly.

A piercing scream came from not far away.

"ah--!!!"

A seven or eight-year-old boy was screaming at the top of his lungs.

The sound was sharp and loud.

Everyone in the restaurant frowned.

The boy was sitting or standing on a chair, holding a newly bought toy gun, and randomly firing it at the plates on the table.

They were shooting while screaming.

"Da da da da da! I'll beat you all to death!"

The guests at the next few tables all turned to look.

Someone complained quietly.

"Whose child is making so much noise..."

"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?"

The waiter quickly went over.

She bent down, a professional smile on her face.

"Little friend, could you please keep your voice down? The other guests are eating."

The boy glanced at her, then continued screaming.

"Ah—!!! I won't!"

The waiter's smile froze.

She stood up and looked at the adults at the next table.

An elderly woman was sitting next to the boy; she was probably his grandmother.

Across from me sat a young couple, heads down, looking at their phones without looking up.

The waiter went over and said to the old lady.

"Auntie, this child is too noisy and disturbing the other guests. Could you please ask him to lower his voice?"

The old lady raised her head and glared.

"What's all the fuss about? Kids are all like that, aren't they? Weren't you noisy when you were a kid?"

The waiter choked for a moment.

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. It's mainly other customers who complained..."

The old lady interrupted her.

"What complaint? Who filed this complaint? Tell them to come find me!"

She spoke very loudly; the whole restaurant could hear her.

"My grandson behaves like this at home, so what? You run a restaurant, and you won't even let the child make a sound?"

The waiter blushed, unsure how to respond.

The young couple next to them, presumably the child's parents, were still looking down at their phones, as if all of this had nothing to do with them.

The man was scrolling through short videos, the sound from the speaker mingling with the child's screams.

The woman was chatting on WeChat, her fingers flying across the keyboard, occasionally letting out a smile.

The old lady got even more excited when she saw that the waiter didn't say anything.

She slammed her hand on the table.

"Get your manager here! I want to know if this restaurant doesn't allow children!"

The waiter stood there helplessly, and some customers at the surrounding tables couldn't stand it anymore.

An older man spoke up.

"Grandma, your child is really too noisy. He's disturbing everyone's mealtime. Can't you do something about it?"

The old lady immediately turned to him.

"Why should I care? What's wrong with my grandson? He didn't flip the table or hit anyone. What's wrong with him barking a couple of times?"

The middle-aged man was speechless, and a young woman next to him whispered something.

"How rude..."

The old lady had sharp ears and heard it immediately.

"Who are you calling rude? Explain yourself!"

The girl was so frightened that she lowered her head and dared not utter a sound.

The old lady gave a smug hum, turned back, and continued to serve food to her grandson.

"Sweetie, eat more and ignore them."

The boy screamed again.

This sound was even louder than before.
