"Little sister! Is this place really ours now? It’s ours! Hahaha..." In the empty store with only the two siblings, Zhen Yan jumped and laughed loudly. Seeing her brother’s silly laughter, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but laugh as well, and her mood soared. She said with emotional fervor, "That’s right! This place is ours now!! Not just here, but in the future, we will have even more and bigger houses! Shops! And cars!" "Cars?" Zhen Yan’s laughter suddenly stopped, "Are we going to buy a car in the future? I heard that cars are really expensive!" Zhen Yu didn’t deny it but simply said, "That’s something to consider after you get into university! It’s way too early to think about that now!" "Uh-huh! I must get into Public Security University!" With that declaration, Zhen Yan let out a roar: "I want to go to university!!!" The echo faintly returned in the shop, "University..." "Heh!" Zhen Yu was always happy to see her brother’s lively and optimistic nature, but as he grew older, she had no choice but to start urging him to mature. "Next, we have to start renovating the shop. Since you’re busy with studies, just come over to check the site on weekends! I’ll ask Zhang San to take detailed notes for you so that you might find it useful in the future." "Of course, it’ll be useful! I’ll have to find people to decorate on my own in Beijing!" Zhen Yan had already taken an interest in ’entrepreneurship,’ so he was extremely keen on witnessing the transformation of this new shop from nothing to something! He only wished that he could be involved in everything, to practice early! Fortunately, he understood that his main task was still to study, so it was just a thought for now. "It’s good that you’re aware of this." Zhen Yu didn’t say much more, stopping while ahead. "Let’s go! You still have to hurry and go with our mother to change the legal representative! If we go late, those departments will be off work!" Zhen Yan nodded in agreement, and then went back to the dumpling restaurant with his sister to get their mom. After Zhen Yan and Mrs. Zhen left, Zhen Yu went to find Zhang San. "San, you gotta contact the friend who did our renovation last time quickly! Here are the keys to the new shop, I’m entrusting this task to you." "Do we decorate it like our own here?" "No!" Zhen Yu shook her head, "That place only has one floor! It’s large and there are no partitions! Apart from the bathrooms, everywhere else should have white walls and the floors should be laid with large tiles! For the bathrooms... they should be separated for men and women! Positioned at opposite ends from each other! Leave two, no! Three cubicles for each. All should have squat toilets, with low flush buttons to step on, and sinks set outside the cubicles." Hearing this, Zhang San laughed, "Okay! Your requirements are too simple! I can surely meet your satisfaction!" Zhen Yu waved her hand, "Go get on with it! I’ll be watching at home!" "Well then, I’m heading out! The foreman’s place doesn’t have a phone, I’ll have to find him at his house!" "Sure! You go ahead! I’ll have my mom help watch the store this afternoon so you can finalize things sooner and get to work quickly!" Zhang San agreed and hurried out of the internet cafe to busy himself with the renovation. No sooner had he left, a young man called out, "Manager! Come and take a look at how to do this!" Zhen Yu quickly turned around and answered, "Alright! Coming!" "Manager! A bottle of drink!" "...Yes! Which kind would you like?" Amidst her ceaseless footsteps, Zhen Yu suddenly realized that if they really converted it into a double-floor internet cafe, one person alone simply could not keep up! Maybe it’s not about hiring four more people, but eight might be necessary to handle the load! Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Yan returned from running errands just in time for lunch, thankfully Zhen Yu had stocked the fridge with groceries last weekend, so the meal was quite substantial. While Mrs. Zhen sat at the counter to rest, Zhen Yu took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I brought your food, have lunch here!" Mrs. Zhen shook her head and gently declined. "No, dear! Uncle Gu made me some nourishing soup, said I should eat light in the morning and evening, so I’m having it for lunch." Zhen Yan’s aborted attempt to speak was too obvious, prompting Mrs. Zhen to ask, "What is it, Xiao Yan?" Zhen Yan’s expression stiffened and his mouth twitched twice, but he ended up just saying, "...Nothing." Zhen Yu felt her heart sink. She had planned to talk to Mrs. Zhen about something during lunch, but at that moment, she pushed the thought back down. Mrs. Zhen wasn’t dwelling on it, her main concern being that it wasn’t the weekend, and the kids still had school. She hurried them along, "Since the food’s ready, you two better eat quickly and head to school! I’m going to head over there now." Just as Mrs. Zhen stood up and was about to leave, Zhen Yu stopped her. "Mom! Zhang San has something to do this afternoon, you come over later and help watch the shop for half a day!" "Ah... Okay! I’ll hurry up and eat, then come over, ensuring it doesn’t delay your classes!" With that, Mrs. Zhen left. The siblings exchanged a look before Zhen Yu said, "Bro, go wash your hands and come eat!" "Yeah." Zhen Yan’s mood seemed downcast as he silently went to the second-floor bathroom. Zhen Yu knew exactly why her brother was upset, yet she didn’t offer even a word of comfort. Because although this was the first time his birthday was overlooked by their mother, it surely wouldn’t be the last! He would have to get used to Mrs. Zhen changing , understanding that his mother’s attention wasn’t always going to follow him. Whether among high officials or ordinary families, most parents tend to favor the youngest child, and Mrs. Zhen was no exception! Zhen Yu felt as though she could already foresee that in the near future, Mrs. Zhen would prioritize the interests of the child inside her belly in every situation! And she and Zhen Yan, ha! They would probably be expected to fulfill their duties as the good big brother and sister! The siblings sat silently at the dinner table. After finishing the meal, Zhen Yan left, and Zhen Yu patiently waited for Mrs. Zhen to come and take over her shift. Waiting and waiting, Zhen Yu hadn’t gone to school yet. It was twelve forty-five before Mrs. Zhen belatedly appeared at the internet cafe entrance. "Xiao Yu, you go on! Mom accidentally overslept! Oh, this is such a mess! Luckily, there are still fifteen minutes left! If you run fast, you can still make it!" Mrs. Zhen pushed her daughter to leave as soon as she entered. Zhen Yu moved forward in response to her mother’s nudging, "Then I’m off! Even if someone calls for you, don’t hurry, move a bit slower!" Mrs. Zhen leaned on the door frame and waved, "Got it, got it! Now go on!" Only then did Zhen Yu step out quickly, breaking into a run toward the Affiliated School. While running, Zhen Yu was thinking: Didn’t Mrs. Zhen know she had to come watch the shop in the afternoon? Why didn’t she ask someone to wake her up before she went to sleep? Or did Mrs. Zhen ask, and that person simply didn’t plan on waking her up at all... It seems urgent to hire someone! With Zhang San needing to oversee the renovations, he would frequently be out in the coming days. Tonight, she must make Li Si’er pick up the pace; by any means necessary, she must get someone to come over first and talk about it later!
