    Wen Nian didn’t give Zhou Mei a chance to refute and continued, “Don’t hate me for saying these harsh words. You better be careful not to work hard just to hand over the money to the hospital. I absolutely won’t agree to you and dad holding on like this!”


    Wen Yu supported Wen Nian and said, “Nian Nian is right. Mom, you don’t have to risk your life doing business like this! Besides, by hiring two people to help, you’ll have more free time to think of ways to expand the shop, retain your old customers, and attract new ones. Spending this money is necessary. I noticed that you don’t respond to your customers quickly in the restaurant fans group chat. Is this how you treat the people who supports you?”


    Since his son and daughter had already spoken, Wen Xing felt much more supported. He gathered his courage and once again expressed his wish to ask for help.


    The Wen family remained very open-minded, and with the situation now 3 against 1, Zhou Mei could onlypromise under the expectant gazes of the family. “Okay, but we can only hire one person for now. You’ll be responsible for helping me and taking turns washing the dishes with your father.”


    The other three also agreed topromise, considering it an improvement.


    Wen Nian continued, “Mom, I think we can create a series of braised meat dishes like the brand ‘ck Duckie’. They have spicy braised food that’s focused on snacks, while our family’s products can be a mix of snacks and cooked dishes that can be served directly on the table. Either option is fine.”


    “In that case, we definitely can’t share a stall with the noodle shop anymore. It wouldn’t look official. Additionally, there are so many braised dishes that we can’t store them here. However, we can’t just blindly open a shop either.”


    “We can start by conducting a pre-opening survey using the restaurant customers group chat toe up with a braised food menu. In addition to meat dishes, we can also offer some vegetarian options and see how well they’re received. We can also require customers to reserve a day in advance. Let’s try it out for half a month and then decide whether we want to pursue this further.”


    Wen Yu nodded in agreement. “The customers who join our fan club are the group with the highest number of repeat customers. They are more loyal, and therefore more likely to be tolerant of us. I think it’s best to experiment with them first!”


    Zhou Mei looked at Wen Nian in surprise. “Nian Nian, how do you know so much?!”


    Wen Nian had never seen a the pork meat before, but she had seen them run. In her previous life, when she went out for drinks with investors, they would often gather to boast and discuss business matters like these.


    Wen Nian had learned a little from the sidelines. Although those people were womanizers, the fact that they were able to earn so much money meant that they were quite skilled in business.


    Wen Nian smiled and replied, “I just read about it in some business newspapers.”


    In the end, the family decided to give it a try as Wen Nian suggested.


    Wen Nian was worried that something would happen if she dyed any longer. She immediately posted a recruitment advertisement on the recruitment website and posted a notice at the door. She had to recruit people as soon as possible.


    The first day of December was Wednesday. As soon as Wen Nian woke up, she saw small snowkes floating outside the window. Looking at the greenery on the tree branches covered in a thinyer of white frost, Wen Nian, who liked snowy days, was in a good mood.


    Wen Nian was taken to school on Wen Yu’s bike and hummed along the way to the ssroom. When she saw Shen Jun, she took the initiative to greet him. “Good morning, deskmate.”


    Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and nced at Wen Nian. “You’re in such a good mood today?”


    Wen Nian replied with a smile, “I like snow the most. Unfortunately, I was born in autumn.”


    Shen Jun’s eyes flickered. He smiled and didn’t say anything.


    The snow was getting heavier, and after finishing her lessons in the afternoon, Wen Nian walked out of the school pushing her bike with Shen Jun by her side.


    Shen Jun was curious when he saw his uncle suddenly appear at the school gate instead of waiting for him in the car.


    Zhao Wu smiled smugly when he saw Wen Nian. He had suspected that something was wrong, as Shen Jun always seemed to be thest one to leave whenever he came to pick him up.


    Zhao Wu looked at Wen Nian and smiled warmly. “You’re Shen Jun’s ssmate, right, little friend?”


    Wen Nian widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the young man in front of her. She still remembered that, in her previous life, the official news had announced that he had entered the country’s core political power on the night before she died.


    Zhao Wu didn’t think much of Wen Nian’s reaction. He often appeared on the local station’s official news and assumed that the youngdy in front of him was simply surprised to see him in person.”


    Shen Jun frowned slightly, unsure of his uncle’s intentions. However, since he was already in front of them, he decided to introduce him to Wen Nian. “Wen Nian, this is my uncle,” he said..
