Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 533 Reporting Assets

Xiaowei's mother said, "Just get through these next few years, and once you and Xiaohong get married and have a baby, all four of us old folks will have something to do."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "When have you ever had nothing to do? Don't you, Xiao Bing?"

Xiaowei's mother patted Xiaowei and said, "How can that be the same? That's my grandson."

Xiaowei's father said, "Xiaobing has been transferring schools twice in the past half year. I wonder if it's affecting his studies."

Xiao Wei said, "The child is fine. Things will be stable from now on. After this move, we'll be stuck there for life."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Your brother said he would come back before we move, but it's been years since I've seen him."

Xiaowei's dad said, "As long as the child is doing well, what more could we ask for? Life is good now, and it will only get better in the future. After Dajun's wife gives birth, we'll go over there for a while, and then there won't be anything to worry about here."

Xiao Wei said, "It's better for you two to get your health in good shape. Take walks and exercise when you have time, and look forward to holding your grandchildren in the future, since there are three families involved."

Xiaowei's dad laughed and said, "Oh yeah, three of them! How old will we be when Xiaobing gives us grandchildren? I'll be over sixty by then, and I probably won't be able to carry them anymore."

Xiaowei's mother glanced at Xiaowei's father and said, "You're fine. As long as you're careful not to aggravate your back, you'll be alright."

Xiao Wei's dad rubbed his lower back and said, "It's fine now. There's not much back work to do. It's not a disease, just tiredness."

Xiao Wei said, "Dad, you should be more careful. Don't eat hard foods or cold foods."

Xiao Wei's dad stretched his body, checked the time, and said, "Xiao Bing will be back soon. Is there anything in the kitchen? He's a hungry reincarnation; he'll be yelling when he gets back."

Xiao Wei's mother dusted off her clothes, stood up, and said, "I'll go get some. Does Wei want some?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm not eating. If I eat dinner now, will I still eat?" Xiao Wei's mother went out to the kitchen.

Xiaowei's dad lit a cigarette, glanced at the agreement and the red book on the coffee table, and said to Xiaowei, "Now that things are bigger, think things through carefully, try to take small steps and be steady. Your mother is a worrywart; she may not say it, but she's concerned. Please don't let anything happen to her. Our family is just an ordinary family; we have no foundation and can't afford any setbacks, understand? What belongs to others will always belong to others; we can't rely on them."

Xiao Wei said, "I know, I'm being careful. You can all relax and live your lives without worry. Why do you think our family is insecure? What I'm earning isn't insecure at all. We have plenty."

Xiao Wei's dad glared at Xiao Wei: "Show-off. When are you leaving?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning."

Xiao Wei's father said, "Arrange everything carefully."

Xiao Wei nodded. Xiao Wei's father said, "How many people from this batch of graduates will stay? The new students will be arriving soon, and you'll have to come and keep an eye on things. It's about money and people, so be careful not to make any mistakes."

Xiao Wei said, "I'll definitely come and visit when school starts. Only five of the chefs will stay, there are more pastry chefs, about twenty in total, and some want to go back and open their own shops. I don't know how many will actually open. Right now, the investment isn't small, and I'm afraid some shops won't be able to afford it."

Xiao Wei's father said, "People pay money to come here to learn skills, so we have to be responsible to the end and make sure they learn thoroughly. If they want to open a shop or something, we'll help them if we can. Remember, good deeds are rewarded, that's for sure."

Xiao Wei said, "I understand. For those who come to work, I will provide food and accommodation. The agreements have all been signed, so they are temporarily on leave. Let them go back and stay for a few days, and they can come back to work once things are settled here. I have also talked to those who want to open their own shops. We will take care of everything, including site selection, decoration, equipment, and materials. Those who are not skilled enough can come back for a few more days to learn and practice. It's the same for those who haven't decided yet. I will take care of whether they come back to work here or open their own shops in the future."

Xiao Wei's father said, "Did you ask about Zhang Guiqin?"

Xiao Wei said, "I asked her, and she stayed to work. I also told her that she should work to save money, and when she has some savings in the future, I will help her open a shop in Andong."

Xiao Wei's father nodded and said, "She's a very good girl, but she has a hard life. We should help her if we can."

Xiao Wei asked with a smile, "You're always trying to help Zhang Guiqin, aren't you afraid my mom will get jealous?"

Xiao Wei's dad blushed, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Wei on the head. Xiao Wei laughed and reached for the phone.

After ringing for a while, Chen Hui finally answered: "Hey? Xiao Wei? What's up?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let me tell you two, we've bought this yard of the food factory. We completed the paperwork this afternoon. It cost 200,000 yuan. The whole yard, including the old buildings, is included."

Chen Hui said, "Two hundred thousand? Isn't that a bit expensive?"

Xiao Wei said, "This building and courtyard are unclaimed. Uncle Wang went to great lengths and used his connections to get it sold to me. Twenty is fine, it'll save us from having any complaints later. I bought it using my dad's ID."

Chen Hui said, "Okay, you decide. Read the property certificate to me, and I'll write it down."

Xiao Wei picked up the property certificate, read it aloud, and asked, "What for?"

Chen Hui said, "I have assets at ICBC, so this is a good opportunity to add them."

Xiao Wei asked, "Wasn't it supposed to be my aunt's business? Why did she go to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China again?"

Chen Hui said, "My mom and her colleagues don't handle the money; the specifics are handled by the commercial banks below. My mom and her colleagues are in charge of the approval process."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Oh, I don't know anything about this. When will it be ready? How many have been approved?"

Chen Hui said, "My mom is approving the paperwork, and here we're checking the asset documents and then assigning the credit line. I'll have to wait a while."

Xiao Wei asked, "How's the company registration going?"

Chen Hui said, "It's all set. We've got all the licenses. Five companies: Brothers Food Company, Brothers Feed Company, Romantic House Food Sales Management Company, Anji Old Restaurant Catering Management Company, and Brothers Department Store. Is anything else missing?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's register another real estate development company, Brother Real Estate. Then we can buy these places and develop them ourselves, right? Xingcheng and Longcheng will all have to be demolished and rebuilt. We'll develop them ourselves."

Chen Hui said, "Yes, yes, you're right. I was careless about this. It's okay, I'll get a photo taken tomorrow."

Xiaowei said, "Xiaohui, what do you think about our offices in Wanliu? Should we just build a taller building with elevators? All those companies need a place to work, right?"

Chen Hui paused for a few seconds, then said, "Damn, I really didn't think of that. Right, we need to build it taller, otherwise it'll be a nightmare if we don't have anywhere to work in the future. Okay, okay, I'm hanging up now. I need to revise this document. By the way, how many floors? What's the floor area per unit?"

Xiao Wei said, "Report a 25-story building, a single building? 660, calculated per acre."

Chen Hui, who was listening, was writing something down and asked, "Could you briefly describe the renovation plan for Xingcheng?"
