Gu Mingyue felt a slight soreness in her nose, as if a stone was pressing on her heart.

Zou Pan is a restaurant owner in Jiangcheng, but just to find her, he came here to deliver takeout?

I don’t know how many takeouts I delivered and how many people I asked for help before they found me.

There has never been anyone... no one who cares about her so much and belongs only to her.

"Yueyue, are you going to cry? Don't cry, don't cry. Sister didn't come to you to see you cry."

Zou Pan saw tears in her eyes and immediately tried to comfort her nervously.

"I didn't cry, thank you sister."

Gu Mingyue smiled and shook her head, but the sparkle in her eyes was still shining.

Zou Pan asked: "Can I go to your house? I'm a little thirsty."

"Let's go home."

Gu Mingyue immediately took her hand and took her back.

This is a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, one master bedroom and one guest room, and the remaining two rooms are used as a study and a gym.

Originally, that room was also a guest room, but Gu Mingyue asked Chen Jun to help her convert it into a gym and even hired a female fighting coach for her.

Chen Jun didn't understand. As a pretty girl, she wanted to exercise to keep in shape, so why did she also practice boxing?

If you practice for a long time, it won’t look good anymore.

"It doesn't have to look good." Gu Mingyue said.

She just wanted to make herself stronger, very strong.

Be strong enough that next time you encounter danger, you don’t need to protect yourself, but can take the initiative to protect the people you want to protect.

After Zou Pan came in, he kept exclaiming what a nice house it was.

But after seeing the gym, he was just as curious as Chen Jun: "Why are you still boxing?"

The punching bag looks a bit scary.

"It's okay, just practice casually. Sister, drink some water."

Gu Mingyue poured her a glass of water.

Zou Pan took it and drank it in big gulps.

"anything else?"

Gu Mingyue looked at the empty cup and asked with a smile.

Zou Pan smiled awkwardly, handed it to her and said, "Have another one! I took the bus here, it's a long way, so I brought a bottle of water and drank it all."

"Where do you live?"

Gu Mingyu poured her another glass of water and asked her.

Zou Pan told the place.

Gu Mingyue didn’t know, but she found out after checking.

It's also a suburb, but it's a completely different suburb from where she is.

Moreover, they are two completely different suburbs.

That place is where ordinary people live, and there are many people like Zou Pan who come from other places to work.

Living in cheap housing and surrounded by a messy environment is the most true portrayal of the lower class people.

"Sister, I have a guest room here. You can move in and live with me!" Gu Mingyue suggested.

Zou Pan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I live quite well over there. Your house is so nice, it would be a pity for me to live there. And now that I've found you, I plan to settle down in Beijing and open a restaurant right where I rented the house. If I miss you, I'll take a bus over to see you."

"Let's sit in the living room." said Gu Mingyue.

Zou Pan nodded and followed her to the living room.

After sitting down, Gu Mingyue began to analyze and settle the accounts with her.

"I bought this house, so I don't have to pay rent. But you have to pay rent over there, no matter how cheap it is. I have a house here, but you don't live in it, but you still rent one. Isn't that a waste of money?"

"I……"

"Besides, if you want to open a restaurant, how can people in the place where you live have time to enjoy delicious food? I think it's a good idea to open a restaurant, but not over there, definitely here. There is a university here, which can support the surrounding businesses. College students also have a high level of consumption, so you can definitely make a profit if you open a restaurant here. Since you're opening a store here, it's of course more convenient for you to live with me. We can take care of each other and save some rent."

"What you said makes sense, but I've looked at the facilities here. It must be very expensive to rent a storefront to open a restaurant here! I'm afraid that if the business is bad, all the money I made from running the restaurant in previous years will be lost." Zou Pan said worriedly.

She is a very conservative person and doesn't like to take radical or risky actions.

I don't want to make a lot of money, I'd rather be stable.

Gu Mingyue continued to persuade her: "We can do a market survey first. I'll go to the school to do research, and you can go around outside to see if there is a store you like. Anyway, there is no rush to open it right away, so do a good job of research before making a decision."

"okay."

Zou Pan nodded.

In fact, she also wanted to be closer to her so that she could take care of her more easily.

It would be a good thing if I could open a business here, so that I can cook for her often in the future.

Gu Mingyue smiled happily when she saw that she agreed.

Let her stay here and rest tonight, and she will accompany her to move tomorrow, Saturday.

The next day, Gu Mingyue went to the supermarket to buy some food.

They asked people to divide the food into small packages, and two people carried the big bag back.

"Others have helped you for so long, so give these foods to them. They are all delivery people, and maybe they can help promote your store in the future. Even if offline profits are not good, you can still make profits online."

"Yueyue, you are amazing and know so much."

Zou Pan was both impressed and pleased.

Gu Mingyue said: "I studied financial economics, so of course I know a little bit."

"It's better to go to school. You must study hard and read more books. This way it will be easier to find a job and work in an office after you graduate." Zou Pan said.

Gu Mingyue smiled.

What she wants to do is not to work for others in an office, she wants to be her own boss.

Become a very powerful person.

After Zou Pan moved in, Gu Mingyue didn't say hello to Chen Jun.

Just call him and ask him to call her in advance when he comes over next time, and it’s best not to come over to see her unless necessary.

She can take care of herself without him having to worry about her.

"Okay, Miss Mingyue, call me if you have anything." Chen Jun reminded again.

"Ah."

Gu Mingyue hung up the phone.

She asked Zou Pan to go around the surrounding shops to see if there were any stores for sale and then inquire about the price of renting a store.

I went to the cafeteria and asked about the dining situation there.

In order to understand the students' thoughts, she also talked to a few of them and asked them whether they liked the school cafeteria.

When you eat out, do you eat more in the cafeteria or out more often?

Because after she came to the school, she has always been the most popular girl, out of reach.

Never talked to anyone.

So, when he suddenly greeted and talked to people, smiling, it seemed like he was communicating well and there was no sense of incongruity.

The students were all shocked!

Is the fairy coming down to earth?

"Student Gu, why are you suddenly chatting with everyone?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

The two of them were desk mates, but apart from greeting each other on the first day, no matter how she spoke to Gu Mingyue, Gu Mingyue always had a blank expression.

"It's okay, I just think I should communicate more with my classmates."

Gu Mingyue replied.

Jiang Li looked at her puzzledly.

Her answer was so natural and calm that no one could tell anything was wrong, so Jiang Li believed it.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me. I know everything." Jiang Li said excitedly.

She is indeed a know-it-all, loves to talk, is cute, and I heard that she comes from a wealthy family.

Her parents didn't want her to suffer the hardship of studying, so they sent her here to play.

Many boys pursued her, but she did not accept them.

However, I can continue to joke with those people without offending anyone at all.

Gu Mingyue thought about it and decided that instead of appearing like a zombie and suddenly chatting with others, she should just...

It would be better to ask her for help.

But she didn't tell anyone that her sister was going to open a restaurant. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so she had to be on guard against her.

I just want to know if the students in school are satisfied with the cafeteria and if they want to eat outside?

Jiang Li said, "You asked the right person. Our cafeteria is actually quite comprehensive, but it's just a big pot. Everyone gets tired of eating it over and over again. But eating outside... it's okay to eat a little occasionally, but it's definitely not okay to eat too much. Who knows if it's clean or not."

"I see the restaurant outside is quite big and luxurious, but I think it's not clean?" Gu Mingyue asked.

Jiang Li sneered and said, "Who among the students in our school doesn't have a private chef? Who hasn't been to a private restaurant? Ordinary restaurants are of course not clean. Like me, I don't like eating in the cafeteria anymore, and I rarely want to eat out. I always ask our driver to take me home."

Gu Mingyue seemed to be thinking about something.

She is not particular about food and has never thought about this issue.

It turns out that rich people also have this taboo?

No wonder there are relatively few restaurants among the surrounding supporting facilities, and most of them are mainly for entertainment.

"If there is a very clean restaurant, would you go there?" Gu Mingyue asked again.

Jiang Li said: "Of course I will go, but I am a little worried because it is not a place I am familiar with."

"Jiang Li, thank you." Gu Mingyue thanked her.

After talking to her, she had a rough idea in her mind.

"Student Gu, tell me, why do you want to know these things?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

Gu Mingyue smiled and said, "I'll tell you later, but keep it a secret for now. You don't have to call me classmate Gu anymore, just call me Mingyue! Look, I already call you Jiang Li."

"Okay, Mingyue, you are different from what I imagined. At first I thought you were very cold and didn't want to talk to people. I didn't expect you to be so easygoing and there's no distance at all."

Jiang Li said excitedly.

Gu Mingyue smiled again.

After a few days of investigation, Gu Mingyue had already determined the level of the restaurant that Zou Pan was going to open.

Now it’s the storefront issue.

Zou Pan walked around for a few days and looked at many stores, and found the one closest to the school with the best location.

In fact, she was very curious. This store was previously a restaurant. Why did it have to be transferred after less than half a year?

She also specifically asked about this, as this store has almost always been a restaurant, but each one was only open for a short time.

“Yueyue, you said such a good position, why can’t you do it?”

Zou Pan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dare to negotiate the price.

Gu Mingyue snorted and laughed, "Because they didn't position themselves well, they thought that being close to the school would definitely attract a lot of students. They blindly opened a store and ended up losing everything."

"So what you mean is that this location is not good?" Zou Pan said.

Gu Mingyue shook her head: "This location is great, but they don't know how to run it. Let's rent this store, and I'll go with you to negotiate."

Zou Pan nodded.

Although she still didn't quite understand, since Gu Mingyue said it was okay, she believed her.
