Chapter 1460: Bai Xi's Family
The group went straight to the restaurant. Fortunately, Yang Dongxu was smart enough to book a table in advance, otherwise the flow of customers would have been in the spot. In addition, the restaurant launched a special offer for its signature dishes to celebrate its opening. There were so many people eating that it was as lively as shopping in a supermarket.
"Hey, big sister, brother-in-law." Just as they were about to enter the store, they saw several female customers coming in. They greeted Bai Qian and Yang Dongxu as they walked towards them.
"Jingrou, Bai Rui, Mengqing, you are out to play together. Have you eaten? How about eating together?" Bai Qian said with a smile.
The people who came over were none other than Bai An's wife Su Jingrou, Bai Rui, the daughter of her second uncle, and Xi Mengqing, the daughter of her aunt.
"Brother-in-law, sister Bai Qian." Bai Rui and Xi Mengqing also greeted them quickly.
The two looked at Yang Dongxu with more curiosity. After all, they had heard a lot of stories about the son-in-law of the Bai family, and they had only seen him once at the banquet of the Bai family before.
Su Jingrou wanted to refuse at first, but she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to disturb Yang Dongxu when she saw many people on his side.
"Okay, okay." Before he could refuse, Bai Rui agreed first, "I'm just hungry. I just said that we'd go eat something after visiting this store. Let's eat first and then go shopping."
"Then come back later and go shopping together. I'll buy things for you and give you discounts later." Bai Xi said with a smile.
"Does this store belong to Bai Xi?" Xi Mengqing asked curiously.
"No, this is the boss." Bai Xi pulled Zhang Jing over with a smile.
"Hello, Zhang Jing, Wenwu's godmother." Zhang Jing greeted with a smile. She didn't say that she was Yang Dongxu's college classmate, but directly said that she was Wenwu's godmother, and the relationship became close all of a sudden.
A group of women with temperament, good looks, and extraordinary clothes walked together, attracting a lot of attention.
After all, Bai Xi and Zhuo Qing'er were too stylish. They would turn heads when they walked alone, not to mention so many beauties walking together. Many boys passing by were pulled by their ears by their straight girlfriends and turned their heads.
"Where's Bai Rui?" Bai Xi asked, holding Su Jingrou's hand.
Bai Xi likes her sister-in-law very much. If Bai An is not her brother, she feels that Bai An is not worthy of Su Jingrou.
"Dad is with her. Bai Rui and Meng Qing will come to Yanjing these two days. I will take them out for a walk." Su Jingrou said.
While speaking, she secretly looked at her sister-in-law's expression. Seeing her smile in the corner of her eyes, and occasionally looking sideways at Yang Dongxu who was pushing a baby carriage next to her, the happy expression on her face was beyond words. Su Jingrou breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although her sister-in-law was a concubine, if someone mentioned it in front of her, she would be a little uncomfortable. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
But she did not agree with her father-in-law's attitude towards Bai Xi. If he was really afraid of embarrassment, he should not have agreed to stop it at the beginning. Or you can say that severing the father-daughter relationship is also an attitude.
As a result, the Bai family was unstable at that time, and wanted to use Yang Dongxu's identity to stabilize the Bai family. He felt that his daughter's marriage to Yang Dongxu would discredit the Bai family.
Then he acquiesced to this matter, and acquiesced to it. Even if it's not fair, don't always put on a sour face, right?
But from the time Bai Xi gave birth to Xiao Wenwu, to Xiao Wenwu's full moon wine, and Bai Xi and the Bai family completely separated, and then her father-in-law had a lot of conflicts over some Bai family development decision-making issues, the whole family was not at peace.
Fortunately, her father-in-law's temperament changed a little after Bai Rui was born. Although he was indifferent to Xiao Wenwu, his grandson. But the relationship with his son Bai An eased a bit, and it seemed that he had given up Bai An and was ready to concentrate on training his grandson.
And the Bai family treated Bai Xi like that, and Bai Xi tried to help the Bai family in many things, otherwise when Bai Xi retired from that position, the Bai family would not get so many benefits.
So every time I see this sister-in-law Su Jingrou, I feel a little embarrassed, and always feel a little owed. It is precisely because of her attitude towards Bai Xi, which is different from that of other people in the Bai family, that Bai Xi has not been completely disappointed with that family, and is willing to spend more time with Su Jingrou.
As for whether her own father loves her grandson more than her grandson, Bai Xi doesn't mind at all, because Xiao Wenwu has grandparents who love him.
Yang's father and mother rarely left their hometown before. Even when Xiao Wenwu went to school in Shanghai, they would go back on holidays anyway, so they rarely went out.
But since Xiao Wenwu was born, Yang's father and mother would come to Yanjing to see Bai Xi and Xiao Wenwu once a month at most.
Sometimes the two of them would stay together for a few days, and sometimes Yang's mother would come alone. Of course, since Yanjing is here, they would also go to Shanghai, anyway, it's just a matter of changing planes.
Generally, they would come to Yanjing to see Xiao Wenwu first, and then after staying in Yanjing for a few days, Yang's father or mother would fly from here to Shanghai to see their eldest grandson.
The next time they go out to see their grandson, they will go to Shanghai to see Xiao Wenchen first, and then fly from Shanghai to Yanjing, just like a bowl of water.
Bai Xi was happy from the bottom of her heart for the care from Yang's father and mother, so she was basically open-minded and didn't care about the attitude of her family.
There were too many people today, so when Yang Dongxu reserved the seats just now, he asked for a private room, so that Xiao Wenwu wouldn't be inconvenienced sitting in the hall.
So even if there were a few more people, they could still sit.
There were only two men in the group of women, one of whom was still breastfeeding age, so Yang Dongxu sat aside and listened to their chat.
"Sit down, sit down. If you want to eat something, just order it. Don't be polite." Zhang Jing waved her hand and asked Xiaojuan and the others to sit down.
She already had the demeanor of a boss lady. Compared with her previous quiet and even a little withdrawn personality.
After coming out of the shadow of her accidental death and working as a lecturer for the past few years, Zhang Jing's personality has gradually become more cheerful. Although she now stays at home reading books most of the time, she has obviously traveled more frequently.
Opening this store this time is also a struggle in her life, so she really learned a lot before opening the store. She even went with the staff training and was very attentive.
"Sister Zhang Jing, you are the agent of Gucci, right? Is it troublesome to be the agent of such a big brand?" Xi Mengqing asked.
In the past two years, she has been urged to get married by her family, so she really wants to get rid of the constraints of her family and do some business on her own.
"You asked the wrong person about this. You should ask Qing'er. She is the big boss of Gucci." Zhang Jing smiled and pulled Zhuo Qing'er, who had been silent all the time, over.
"The boss of Gucci?" Xi Mengqing looked at Zhuo Qing'er in surprise, while Bai Rui and Su Jingrou beside her looked over with curiosity.
Even the four shop assistants in Zhang Jing's store were surprised. They had always thought that the woman who entered the store with sunglasses and was accompanied by an assistant was a friend of their boss, who came to support the store's opening today.
I really didn't expect that this person was the big boss of the brand I represented.
"Zhuo Qing'er." Zhuo Qing'er smiled and nodded and greeted Xi Mengqing and others.
"Isn't Gucci a foreign brand?" Xi Mengqing asked with some curiosity.
"To be precise, Gucci is an Italian brand, which was later sold to Paris Spring. In 2002, it was acquired and the controlling rights changed. However, the brand's registered place and head office are both in Italy, so it can be called a foreign brand."
"Is it difficult to open a store as an agent for such a foreign brand?" Xi Mengqing asked.
"It's not difficult. If you like a brand, you can contact the person in charge of the brand in China, and then see which place has not signed an exclusive agency.
Find someone who knows the business to help negotiate the endorsement fee, and then you can choose the store address, but the store's decoration style and service staff training must follow the requirements of the agent brand.
After opening the store, do some docking of new products, customer feedback on the brand, and regularly let the waiters go for training to improve the service, etc., and that's about it."
"It doesn't sound difficult." Xi Mengqing nodded.
"It doesn't sound difficult, but you will know how tired you are when you do it. If you just want to make some pocket money, it's best to have someone who can do things invest.
For example, you buy or rent a store here, and then find a store manager who can manage things and give her a part of the shares. You just need to take care of the account and collect the money later, and you are not responsible for the specific work. This is probably more suitable for you."
Betsy, who undoubtedly knows about this cousin of her aunt's family, made a suggestion.
If Xi Mengqing wanted to be like Du Weiwei and Zhang Jing, who received various trainings and did many things by themselves without fear of hardship, she would probably give up before the store was even opened.
So for Xi Mengqing, who has a bit of a ladylike temperament and can't bear hardships, it is best to find someone to cooperate with.
With the relationship and status of the Xi family, it is easy to find a shop in a prime location, and it is not difficult to get an agent. If you find a capable store manager, then the store is basically stable.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing in Yanjing this time?" Seeing Xi Mengqing talking about opening an agent brand store, Bai Rui couldn't help but talk to Yang Dongxu who was teasing Xiao Wenwu.
"Come and see this brat, and by the way, take a look at the construction of some Olympic venues at Hurricane Construction." Yang Dongxu said.
Most people in the Bai family know that Hurricane Construction is his, and they don't know that he is also the boss of Haina, so he didn't mention anything about Haina Cultural Industry.
"Brother-in-law, you are in real estate, what do you think about buying a house in Yanjing?" Bai Rui couldn't help but ask.
"Buy a house? Are you planning to settle down in Yanjing?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
"You can just live at home, why buy a house?" Su Jingrou also spoke up.
"I don't want to live in your house and be fed up with you and Bai'an all day long, and my uncle and my parents are urging me to get married all day long, so I move out to live freely." Bai Rui smiled and joked, "Actually, it's not just for living. Recently, I always hear from friends that the house prices in Yanjing will definitely rise, so I plan to buy a house for investment."
"Speculate in real estate?" Su Jingrou asked.
"Almost. I heard that there are real estate speculation groups in the south. This is more profitable than real estate." Bai Rui nodded.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but look at Bai Rui. This person has a unique vision.
To be honest, doing real estate at this time is really not as profitable as speculating in real estate. How much profit can you make when the real estate land prices are there?
What about speculating in real estate?
The average house price in Yanjing this year is less than 7,000. What about more than ten years later?
The average price is 100,000. This is a profit of more than ten times. There is no need to buy land, bid for projects, or build and sell houses.
Just go to the sales office, pay the money and get the property deed, and treat the money as a ten-year fixed deposit. The interest will almost double every year, making more money than loan sharking.
