Speaking of this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, Miss Manqiong, before I leave, please invite me to your snack street for dinner again!"
When Liu Manqiong heard Ye Chen's words, the feeling of reluctance in her heart became stronger.
She pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will take you there tomorrow night."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she and Ye Chen seemed to have no topic to talk about.
She didn't dare to ask further about the previous topic, but now, she didn't know what to talk to Ye Chen about.
In fact, she wanted to ask Ye Chen a lot more, such as where he is from inland? Are you married at the age of 28, or do you have a girlfriend who is dating.
Or, ask him if he would like to stay in Hong Kong Island for a few more days, because he still has many places that he has never shared with others, and he wants to take Ye Chen for a walk, to see, to taste taste.
However, none of these questions she dared to ask.
First of all, she didn't dare to ask, and secondly, she didn't dare to hear Ye Chen's answer.
Then, the car suddenly fell into silence.
Hong Kong Island was very rainy, and when the car drove halfway, raindrops began to fall from the sky. Liu Manqiong, who was still peeking at Ye Chen from the corner of her eye, looked at the raindrops on the car window, feeling a little lost.
Ye Chen looked at the car, and glanced at her from the corner of his eye from time to time. Seeing her absent-minded look, he subconsciously asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Ah?" Liu Manqiong suddenly came back to her senses, straightened her soft hair, smiled at Ye Chen, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'm watching the rain."
Ye Chen was very curious: "What's so good about rain, do you like rainy days?"
Liu Manqiong shook her head: "I don't like it, I hate rainy days."
Ye Chen said with a smile: "Hong Kong Island is rainy, it doesn't seem very friendly to someone like you who hates rain."
"Yes." Liu Manqiong pursed her lips, and said with a wry smile: "If many bad things happen on a rainy day, it will make people more depressed, and then people will feel disgusted with the rain."
Ye Chen seemed to have guessed something, nodded lightly, and immediately changed the topic: "By the way, Miss Manqiong, your Ph.D. is about to graduate, what plans do you have after graduation?"
Liu Manqiong was flashed by Ye Chen's sudden jump in the topic. After being startled, she realized that Ye Chen changed the topic because she definitely didn't want to remind herself of sad things, so she said with a smile: "I graduated this summer. After graduation, I plan to go to Africa according to my original plan to further implement the charity I have been doing, and then come back to find a job related to my major. While working, I will continue to do some charity work within my ability .�
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Why are you still looking for a job? Wouldn't it be better to go to your father's company? You are the eldest daughter in the family, and there is a high probability that his business will be handed over to you in the future."
Liu Manqiong shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not very interested in his methods, and I have been studying Chinese from university to master's degree. I know nothing about finance and economics, so I can't do this kind of work at all."
As he said that, Liu Manqiong joked a little self-deprecatingly: "Besides, you see, I am not a person suitable for business. Up to now, the snack street still has a monthly deficit of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars that needs to be filled by my father. If he If you really let me inherit the business, I'm afraid that it won't take long for his family property to be ruined."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "How long have you been buying snacks in the street?"
Liu Manqiong thought for a while, and said: "I must have had it for more than ten years. It was bought in the year my father got married."
Ye Chen asked her: "Do you know how much you spent when you bought it?"
"Forgot..." Liu Manqiong said embarrassingly: "Actually, I am not sensitive to this aspect, and I was not too old at that time. I just thought that I wanted to keep that street, so I asked my dad to pay for it." I really don�t know how much it cost to buy it.�
Ye Chen asked again: "Then how do you know that there is still a shortfall of 200,000 every month?"
"The manager told me." Liu Manqiong said: "Before I was an adult, this snack street was run by my dad. After I became an adult, I was in charge of managing it. Yes, it is nothing more than to ensure that everyone operates as usual and not to increase their rent. In addition, the environment of the snack street is generally dirty, especially there are a lot of garbage, rats and cockroaches, so I asked the manager to arrange a special cleaning staff to help them every day. Everyone cleans up, takes out the trash, catches rats and cockroaches..."
As he said that, Liu Manqiong said again: "Oh, by the way, I didn't need to lose so much every month before, but now I'm losing more because labor prices have been rising, and cleaners cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, so the deficit is getting bigger and bigger. More and more, from tens of thousands at the beginning to 200,000 now."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Manqiong couldn't help but said with a bit of shame: "Is it a failure to do business like me?" JrNovels.com
