Xiao Feng still yearned for Sun Lang's lifestyle, unaware that Sun Lang had the backing of a wealthy family, which allowed him to live so freely.
"Boss, Sister Lang said you helped him open that shop. How about I work for you for six months without pay, and you help me open a store too?"
Sun Lang's shop was thriving every day, and not just his; the entire food street was bustling with business. The shops in the back rows had started opening restaurants and inns one after another.
"It wasn't me who opened his shop. I just gave him a few recipes and taught him some dishes!"
"If you want to open your own shop, that's no problem. But remember, you have to put in the effort to see returns. You only see that I helped Sun Lang open a shop, but do you know how much he contributed to the Fishing Tackle Shop?"
Sun Lang had been watching the store with Su Xueyi for several months. Especially in the early days, when Su Xueyi still had classes, it was all on Sun Lang to manage the shop.
"Focus on managing the Fishing Tackle Shop and make it bigger and stronger! The Rock Fishing Tournament is ongoing; let’s continue for another month before we discuss further! I'll leave this matter to you and Xiao Yu!"
"Before that, I'll give you a few days of paid leave. Take Xiao Yu to Xiangxi and Cha Dong for a trip; I'll reimburse all your accommodation and meals. I went there with Sun Lang a few days ago, and it's beautiful! Xiao Yu will definitely love it!"
Sun Lang had already rented the shop from Old Zhou, who was now working hard for his Little Rich Wife. As for the Fishing Tackle Shop, it still needed some renovations, which was a bit troublesome since there wasn't anyone suitable available right now. Sun Lang would have to go over again in a few days.
Regarding the Cha Dong Store, he asked Sun Lang to mention it to Zhang Wanquan, but Zhang wasn't interested. That guy had gotten together with Liu Xinru and was preparing to buy a house and get married in Xishuangbanna!
"Then let Sun Lang keep busy for now! Once the store is up and running, we can find a young girl to manage it. After all, he doesn’t expect that store to make money; just keeping an eye on it for a few hours each day will suffice."
"Boss, can we skip Cha Dong? I think we should spend a few days in Xisha; at worst, we could go to Ri Yan. It would be more convenient for us to promote our Xingpai Fishing Rod!"
He heard from Sun Lang that catching sea fish like Tuna could easily bring in thousands of dollars; some even went for tens of thousands. Plus, other fish weren't cheap either. Just catching a few dozen would be much better than sitting in the shop all day.
"If we can catch sea fish, I could borrow a rod from Sun Lang or persuade Shi Tian to display a sample boat rod in the shop. Just catching a few fish could cover several months of expenses!"
"The boat rod doesn’t need promotion; it's already in high demand! What we need to promote now is the hand rod, which is why I want you guys to go to Cha Dong! We’ll take photos of the mountains, water, food, and fishing rods; it has great potential!"
Xiao Feng wasn’t easily swayed; he didn’t possess Sun Lang’s kind of wisdom.
"Promoting hand rods shouldn’t be done at Cha Dong! It should be at Su Hang or Shaoxing! The waterways there are extensive with many fishermen and ample space! Since we can't go out to sea, Xiao Feng was considering whether he should take Xiao Yu back home on company expenses."
Watching Xiao Feng closely, Shi Tian felt he still lacked experience; meeting benefactors right away without having gone through hardships could lead to danger!
"Like Su Hang? That's easy! If you help me promote a food shop at Cha Dong, I'll make you the manager at Su Hang. Whenever you can build up its reputation like the Anhe Town shop, I'll give you a place so you can run your own store—how about that?"
Giving them a shop without any constraints seemed unwise; Shi Tian worried they might unknowingly offend people and face backlash.
"I'll send them over to Su Hang later so they can gain some experience and refine their ideas first! They're not ready for major responsibilities yet!"
"Boss! If you'd said this earlier, it would have been clear! Why go around in circles? Don’t worry; I guarantee we'll promote it clearly!"
