EBE Chapter 87 The Widow's Assistant
Chapter 87 The Widow's Assistant
In Jiang Cheng's opinion, Su Qingrou, this widow, wasn't particularly beautiful; at most, she'd score 80.
Of course, Jiang Cheng was comparing her to Shen Youqing and Ye Lingxi.
But this widow possessed a charm that ordinary women lacked, giving her a full, radiant quality.
So her little face is also moisturized.
But when she saw Su Qingrou at this moment, her young woman's face looked unusually haggard.
"I'm not open for business, I just opened it to take a look. Look, I don't have a single customer here." Su Qingrou stood in front of the computer desk, her hands tightly gripping the computer cable, and pleaded with the uniformed staff.
The staff member said, "Opening the door won't work either. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. This crackdown is no joke. Anyone who dares to provoke us will have to try!"
"I told you to get the certificate a long time ago, but you didn't!"
Su Qingrou said, "I've tried to apply many times, but it's always failed the review..."
"That's your problem!"
The other person next to her glanced at Su Qingrou, then finally looked at the woman's face. She stepped forward and tugged at her colleague's sleeve, "Never mind, she doesn't seem like the type to drive. I've heard that widows and orphans have a hard life."
"I see." The man turned his head, his eyes momentarily darting out and meeting the heatwave. He quickly looked away. "This time, the higher-ups have given a strict order. With the door open, we can't go back to report. You'll be fined five hundred as punishment. You'll have to pay it yourself."
Su Qingrou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay, I'll close the door right away and not open it again."
The man took out a notebook from his bag and started writing tickets.
The staff member who initially threatened a heavy fine didn't say anything more. Instead, he offered a way out, saying, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. They're cracking down all over the country right now. If you're not licensed, don't drive. Otherwise, it won't just be a fine; it'll be illegal and you'll go to jail."
Su Qingrou lowered her head, looking at the computer in her shop, and didn't say anything.
After the staff member finished issuing the ticket, tore off a page and handed it to Su Qingrou before leaving.
As I was leaving, I saw Jiangcheng. "You can't use the internet here anymore. This shop doesn't have a license. Don't go to places without a license in the future. Think about your own safety."
After the people in uniform left, Su Qingrou blinked hard, exhaled to compose herself, and then looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile on her face.
She walked over and glanced behind Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng also saw it; Zhou Chuyao had already followed.
"Although I knew it would be useful, I was still a step too late," Su Qingrou said.
Jiang Cheng knew she was referring to the documents. "Yours hasn't been processed yet?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
"Did you get it done?"
Jiang Cheng patted his backpack, pulled out a small notebook, and showed Su Qingrou a corner of it.
Su Qingrou's eyes lit up. "You went to get it done with a lot of people that day, and you got it all done?"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Su Qingrou was taken aback, then sighed.
She knew it wasn't about luck; it was because Jiang Cheng had connections, but she didn't.
"You can't possibly be using all these documents for yourself. What are you planning to do?"
"I plan to sell."
"What's the price?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
“Twenty…” Su Qingrou’s expression turned somewhat dejected.
Then, with a bleak smile, she looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Forget it, it's too much of a difference. I can't afford it."
Jiang Cheng was surprised, "You can't possibly open such a big internet cafe, can you? Aren't internet cafes very profitable in the past?"
Su Qingrou shook her head and said, "I won't be able to keep it open for long. When I opened it, it wasn't making much money anymore."
"Besides, I didn't have that much money to open an internet cafe. It was the money I lost after my husband died that I was able to open the internet cafe."
"Internet cafes can't operate now, and I don't have the necessary permits, so I might have to sell it for a pittance..."
"Hey, I have an idea, how about this?"
Su Qingrou's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Jiang Cheng. She unconsciously took a step forward and reached out to grab Jiang Cheng's hand.
It's very close to Jiangcheng.
I wonder if this kind of aura is common among mature women.
It has a feeling or flavor that's hard to describe about Jiangcheng, but it gives people a very good feeling.
Is this...femininity?
"any solution?"
“Give me a certificate, and I’ll give you half of my internet cafe. We’ll split it 50/50, and I’ll stay here and work for you.”
After Su Qingrou finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Cheng hopefully.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "That won't work. Your internet cafe is too small. It's not worth it."
Su Qingrou's bright eyes dimmed again.
The hand holding Jiang Cheng's arm was about to slip away.
Jiang Cheng reached out and pressed her hand down, securing it back onto his arm. He encouraged her not to give up, saying:
"However, I do have the idea of opening an internet cafe, but I think I'll open a big one when I have enough cash in a while, possibly in Shanghai. If it's convenient for you to go to Shanghai, we can cooperate. I don't have time to manage it, so I can leave it to you to do for me."
"Really?!" Su Qingrou's eyes lit up again as she asked.
Several people refused to cooperate because they thought her internet cafe was too small, which means that if he were to open one himself, he would definitely open a very large one.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng can process seven certificates at once. Putting aside everything else, the financial resources he has this time are something she can only dream of. And Jiang Cheng handled such a large sum of money as if it were very easy.
Therefore, this young man either has a powerful backer or comes from a very influential family.
So if he wants to open an internet cafe, he really doesn't know how to manage it himself. If they can cooperate, he can take a small place in a large internet cafe, which would be enough for his mother and son to live on.
Of course, Su Qingrou could find similar opportunities elsewhere, but without exception, those who offered her such opportunities were all after her.
So... no matter what the choice is, if we can really cooperate with this young man in front of us, it would undoubtedly be the best option.
If he's also going to eat me... ugh, how could I possibly dream of such a thing? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"Don't get excited. I'll wait until I go to Shanghai and check out the place before I decide to open it."
"Okay," Su Qingrou agreed.
Although nothing is 100% certain, it's always good to leave yourself an out, which inevitably improves your mood.
"Then I'll have to find a job for now," Su Qingrou said.
"Looking for a job?" Jiang Cheng was taken aback. "If that's the case, you can come work for me. I happen to be short-staffed."
"What kind of job?" Su Qingrou stood very close, looking at Jiang Cheng.
"Assistant, help me with some company chores."
Jiang Cheng had wanted to hire an assistant for a long time, but he hadn't found a suitable candidate, so he had left many things to Ye Lingxi.
But Ye Lingxi had her own factory to keep her busy, so Jiang Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
It would definitely be better to have your own assistant.
Su Qingrou is mature and meticulous, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Being an assistant would be excellent.
