Chapter 88 Eyes and Heart Are Not on the Same Channel
"are you serious?"
Xu Kai stopped making a fuss.
"How so?"
"With your family background, is it really necessary for you to do this kind of thing?"
Seeing Su Xingwan's angry face was definitely a pleasure for him. She also noticed Xu Kai's filthiness, and her expression changed instantly. Her self-control was so good that it was a master of changing faces.
"I'm so bored."
Xu Kai's eyes darted around: "Beauty pageant? You really don't discriminate between hot and cold things."
Su Xingwan gave him the middle finger without arguing, while Xu Kai acted like he was Conan who had uncovered the truth, which prompted Su Xingwan to pick up a cigar from the table and throw it at him.
Xu Kai accepted it all without hesitation, putting it in his pocket: "Thanks for the reward, Brother Su. I can offer the ideas, but I won't take any shares. I'll definitely need Brother Su's help in the future."
"roll."
"Okay."
Without this pleasing appearance, Xu Kai might have already run away, or sought help from Yun Shang, asking his uncle to intervene and prevent him from becoming someone else's target. Before he develops his power, it's not shameful to bow one's head when faced with trouble of prehistoric scale. You can ride on my neck and poop on me, as long as you don't cause diarrhea, I won't fight you to the death.
If it were Su Xingwan, she would know that this was a big problem, but when faced with that face, that overall temperament, and that fair and tender skin that remained even after years of exercise and special forces-level training.
Even knowing she was D, Xu Kai still couldn't resist her stunning beauty. Every time he saw Su Xingwan, he would reflect on himself and then spit on himself, thinking, "Damn it, are you really that worthless? Have you never seen a woman before? She doesn't like men, but you can't even take your eyes off her. You cheapskate."
I've never seen a woman like this before.
Suddenly sensing that Su Xingwan's interest in Yunshang seemed to have waned, Xu Kai dared not boast of his own importance, but became even more vigilant, realizing he had to be careful; this woman was no good.
"return!"
"Eh."
Xu Kai, who had already opened the door, came back looking like a lackey. Su Xingwan could only roll her eyes at this. How cautious was this guy? He would rather be subservient than not maintain a peaceful demeanor with her.
"coward."
"what!"
Su Xingwan's sudden remark caught Xu Kai off guard. "Dude, you're Su-ge, this is something only Wan-jie should say. It's not appropriate for you to say it."
Su Xingwan: "Tell me, how do you plan to do this? I know you have a lot of ideas in your head. Last time you only said a little bit. Look, those little S-brand girls downstairs are dancing among the customers, twisting and turning, making those stinky men obediently spend their money. Don't hold back with me. Once you make money, maybe I'll let you off the hook. You'll still get your share of the benefits. No matter how you look at it, you're not losing out."
She herself didn't realize that after Xu Kai showed that he didn't want to provoke her and was afraid of her, she was more willing to "bully" him and make him afraid.
"Sister Wan, Sister Wan, let's not be like this. We're a great beauty. Even if you don't care about our appearance, let's not ruin its value." Facing Su Xingwan's foul language, Xu Kai quickly reminded her. It wasn't for her own good, but because he didn't want his pleasing sensory experience to be downgraded.
What I want to see is Su Xingwan with the feel of first love, not a gangster or a "Brother Su." Don't ruin my eyes. My eyes and my heart can go through different channels. My heart knows what kind of person you are, so don't hinder my eyes from continuing their perception.
Su Xingwan stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly changed her posture and her eyes and micro-expressions. She transformed into a pitiful little white flower that evoked a strong protective instinct. Her beautiful face, her youthful appearance, and the allure of first love were captivating.
"Brother Xu, can you help me?"
There was no need for mushy words, and even the way she addressed people was kept at a distance, but when Su Xingwan said it in this state, it felt completely different.
Xu Kai deliberately flinched, muttering "Holy shit!"
Over there, Su Xingwan's eyes held undisguised contempt, and her facial expression conveyed disgust.
Xu Kai glanced at the monitor inside the room and saw that the performance below had started. His expression turned serious: "I'll go back and work on a proposal. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"OK."
Su Xingwan's gaze also fell on the monitor, which wasn't facing the customers, but the stage: "Yunshang should be quite cute when she acts all sassy."
In response to being given the middle finger, Xu Kai left and went to the first-floor corridor. Only after seeing that the performance had ended did he throw away his cigar and enter the performance hall.
………………
Yunshang had a great time during the holiday. She was calm and composed as she entered the intense college entrance examination preparation stage early. She was confident and composed in the face of difficulties. She didn't want to take the path of studying. If she really had to study so hard, she was confident that she could get excellent results.
This time when Su Xingwan came to Songcheng, she didn't see Yunshang, but she got the planning document from Xu Kai. Not only was she amazed, but Niu Dongyang also had an urge to try it out immediately after seeing it.
Over the years, Mr. Niu has seen and eaten everything, but when he saw Xu Kai's design concept for the bathhouse in his proposal, he was impressed and admired Su Xingwan. How could she so accurately see that this kid had something in his head?
Actually, it's nothing much. Xu Kai is standing on the shoulders of giants. The content of "一路向西" (One Way to the West) is just the basic operation of that prosperous city in the south for a few years.
Niu Dongyang has an existing bathhouse, but it's not suitable. He'll just renovate and rebuild it. What kind of place was that before? I was hoping to make money from it. Now that I think about it, it's really embarrassing.
I asked Sister Yun to contact people and offer them high prices so they wouldn't have to work at different venues. They could stay with me, receive training first, and then start working. Even someone like Niu Dongyang could visualize the business immediately after seeing the proposal; he could already picture the booming future business in his mind.
Some things don't need to be said; it's just a matter of whether you're willing to do them.
Niu Dongyang appreciated the gesture and increased the amount of ingredients provided by the grassland ranch that Xu Kai was in contact with, without requiring payment. There were two drivers for transportation, and the trucks never stopped running. Every time the ingredients arrived, they were fresh enough. Many customers of "Ke Zai Lai" had seen the boxes of goods parked in the yard, with lambs that had been slaughtered and processed less than 24 hours ago, which made customers feel at ease eating there.
I didn't keep in touch with Xu Kai and my siblings much before, but things changed this Lunar New Year. After the holiday, "Ke Zai Lai" was still booming. Wang Tao, Sun Hao, Xiao Lili and others who hadn't started school yet came over to help out. They didn't do much work, but they were very enthusiastic.
Sun Bo and Sun Xue, who work at the company, also chose "Ke Zai Lai" for their company's gathering. Instead of supporting the company, the gathering allowed them to enhance their image in front of their colleagues, receiving gifts and discounts, making their meal a truly prestigious one.
The restaurant's normal operation didn't actually require Xu Kai, which aligned with his initial intention to simply do business rather than tie himself to it.
Unfortunately, the interpersonal relationships involved in welcoming and seeing off others are so time-consuming and energy-draining that you can never truly understand them unless you immerse yourself in them.
When people come to your place to show their support, you entertain them and get to know them. Then, if someone invites you to dinner, you have to go along.
Fortunately, Xu Kai has a complete service chain. He has friends from all walks of life who can arrange everything from dinner and drinks at "Ke Zai Lai" after work, to playing cards at the guesthouse, or even to KTVs under Boss Niu's control. Xu Kai can make a call and everything will be arranged perfectly, making guests feel respected and valued. If anyone wants to continue with the midnight entertainment, a call to the bathhouse will suffice.
The post-Lunar New Year holiday rush for dinners, gatherings, and entertainment left Xu Kai with a combined income of 200,000 yuan from the past few months, leaving him no time to properly consider his next steps.
The arcade is in its peak profit period, but it's not advisable to open a second one of the same size; being too high-profile would attract big trouble. Opening a smaller one wouldn't have as many gaming machines, and the profits wouldn't meet the partners' expectations.
The restaurant has become the ace in the whole roasted lamb market. There are followers, but the demand from customers across the city has little impact on "Ke Zai Lai". Anyway, the restaurant can't even keep up with the turnover. The loss of some customers doesn't affect it much.
During the day, whenever he has a little free time, he drives around the bustling streets of the city. These days, there aren't many rules about parking; as long as you don't block the road, you can park anywhere.
There aren't many private cars, so even in the busiest neighborhoods, finding a parking spot isn't that difficult.
Everything he envisioned was still in its early stages. The mobile phone industry was still a high-end business, and the future "mobile phone street" only needed a few shops to meet the needs of the entire city. Of course, the mainstream was still pagers, which Xu Kai had absolutely no interest in. It was a completely sunset industry, and before he even entered the market, it would have already been overtaken by the more convenient mobile phone business and the emergence of cheaper mobile phones, leaving it with no place to stand.
He then went to the computer room. It was a smoky and cramped environment, and the internet experience was not yet smooth. The few places in the city that had internet access were not related to gaming. Most people used the internet as a means of learning or a way to socialize.
Before online games swept the online market, even with new social networking models like OICQ that allowed people to chat and socialize across the country, the number of customers they could attract was limited. The key issue was that internet access was still very expensive at the time, making it not a daily, long-term expense for ordinary people.
He also looked into small supermarkets and fruit and vegetable supermarket projects; some were viable, but he didn't have the energy to get involved, and his family...
Uh, they wouldn't be interested.
Whether it's an arcade or a card room, those are the legitimate businesses in their eyes. They're familiar with them, have the necessary connections and resources, and make more money. Who would bother to set up a small supermarket or fruit and vegetable store that's a few years ahead of the competition?
Xu Kai couldn't change their minds, nor did he intend to.
The arcade may be a problem in the future, but it can be phased out. As for the card room, even if it still exists before the rebirth, for people of the mother's generation, this business can be something they can do until retirement.
Finally, after weighing various factors, Xu Kai sat in the hotel and looked out the window at the three-story guesthouse on one side.
