Chapter 164 Talking about business
Because of this delay, they returned home later than usual.
"Why are you back so late today?" Bai Zhizhi had been waiting at the door for a while. Only when she saw him come back did she finally feel relieved.
"A grocery store wants to do business with our family." Zhou Changjiang said with a smile.
"A grocery store." Bai Zhizhi was not surprised. She thought it would be a pastry shop or something. But a grocery store is a grocery store. They are all the same anyway.
"Well, there are several. They all want to talk to us. I didn't say anything decisive. I just said I would talk to them in two days."
Zhou Changjiang briefly recounted the story, focusing on which shops there were.
Bai Zhizhi nodded thoughtfully. Since they wanted to cooperate, they must choose carefully and it would be best to conduct an on-site inspection.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi said, "I'll go into the city with you tomorrow to take a look."
"Okay." Zhou Changjiang was quite happy.
After a simple dinner, the day passed.
The next day, Bai Zhizhi got up early, briefly explained the matters at home, and then went to the city with them.
After sending Ruibao to school, Bai Zhizhi separated from the Zhou brothers.
She followed Zhou Changjiang's instructions and wandered around every grocery store, picked out a few that she liked and paid extra attention to them, and finally made appointments to meet with the shop owners of several stores.
It was in the restaurant they cooperated with.
Bai Zhizhi arrived early and waited for a while before the shopkeepers arrived one after another.
They seemed to have not expected that the person coming to meet them would be a woman, and several of them changed their expressions.
Although they quickly controlled their expressions, Bai Zhizhi still took note of them.
She would not cooperate with such a person even if the business was good.
"Please take a seat, shopkeepers."
Everyone was pretending to be polite and making probing attempts, which they thought were subtle, but Bai Zhizhi blocked them all.
The meal was just average; several people left in the middle, leaving only two until the end.
It is obvious that the two people will work together in the end.
After everyone had left, the restaurant owner slowly walked in and asked, "Why did you leave?"
He looked at the food on the table curiously, not knowing what had happened. They were supposed to be discussing business, but it ended so quickly.
Bai Zhizhi just smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today."
"Oh, what are you talking about? If you really feel like you're disturbing me, why don't you give me a larger portion of your food?"
These snacks alone have brought a lot of revenue to his restaurant, and he doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
"Since the shopkeeper has said so, it's natural to mention it. I'll tell my eldest brother when I get back."
The restaurant wants a larger portion and she earns more money. She would be stupid to disagree.
After leaving the restaurant, Bai Zhizhi went to the Zhou brothers.
Although it was already noon, the Zhou brothers did not close their stall, but simply ate the cakes with tea.
There weren't many customers at this time, but they were reluctant to leave the stall for a while.
"Brother, I'll stay here for a while, you guys go have dinner." Bai Zhizhi greeted them with a smile.
Zhou Changjiang just waved his hand and said, "No, no, we've already eaten."
Zhou Changhe also nodded.
"Why did you come back so soon? Have you finalized everything?" Zhou Changjiang asked curiously.
Bai Zhizhi shook her head and didn't hide it from them, "Those shopkeepers aren't really sincere about doing business with us, so it might not work out."
Zhou Changjiang didn't expect this result and felt a little embarrassed. "It's my fault for not asking around. I made you come here for nothing."
"Brother, how can you say that?" Bai Zhizhi disagreed. "Even if there's no grocery store, there will be a cake shop and a liquor store in the future. It just takes a little longer."
Moreover, it may not be impossible.
She thought that Manager Cheng was quite sincere.
After staying at the stall for a while, Bai Zhizhi left and walked towards Manager Cheng's grocery store with a clear goal.
Manager Cheng's grocery store was not big and its location was average. She didn't see many people when she arrived.
