The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 683 The Sister-in-Law Joins the Group (Bonus Chapter for Reader 2021……9852)

Time: The first day of the rest period, a little after 10 a.m.

Location: Terminal 3, Beijing Capital International Airport.

Like an old father seeing his daughter off on a long journey, in a secluded corner, Hu Biao patiently gave Annie his instructions:

"Remember this time, your personal safety is the top priority. If all else fails, let the Japanese and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics off the hook this time."

After all, it's a mysterious entity, and it didn't require us to cause any trouble this time..."

Unfortunately, before Hu Biao could finish his long instructions, Annie shouted, "Oh! Boarding has started!" and ran off in a flash, carrying a suitcase and a vegetable basket that had been modified into a handbag.

The current situation is actually quite logical.

According to the mysterious entity, the items it temporarily provided would only last for seven days in the modern world.

Hu Biao and his men were shrewd enough to know that without the help of these temporary props, no matter how skilled they were, they couldn't cause much of a stir and would only get into huge trouble.

So after Annie returned, she booked a flight to the island nation for the morning.

Let's see what the Central Bureau is up to this time, and while the temporary items are still effective, let's teach them a lesson they won't forget.

To avoid her constantly thinking about using her to do something to Zhou Kun.

It's unlikely anything serious will actually happen, but it's like a toad jumping on your foot—it looks quite disgusting.

Thus, Hu Biao saw Annie off at the airport, and because he was so worried about his girlfriend's safety, he ended up giving her a lot of advice and instructions.

After watching Annie board the plane and even after the flight officially took off, Hu Biao still did not leave and continued to wait at the airport.

The reason for this was that he also needed to pick up someone else.

More accurately, it's my cheap aunt Mina who's coming soon.
Although it was a little later than the agreed time.

However, before the last mission began, Mina finally finished handing over the last bit of work; after the mission was completed, she immediately flew over.

Hu Biao was really looking forward to Mina's arrival.

After all, ever since Mina left, Hu Biao had been thinking about how to expand and develop Deyuelou and was making various related preparations.

Now that we've got the personnel and funding ready, all we're waiting for is Mina to arrive so we can dump the troubling financial problems on her and start the expansion plan...

Mina appeared again at the airport around 11:30.

The situation was the same as when Hu Biao accompanied Annie to the airport to pick up Mina for the first time.

That cheap sister-in-law, that scumbag, only took a few hours on the plane, but she attracted several legendary high-quality men. As she walked towards the exit, she was surrounded by several well-dressed men.

They used various methods to curry favor and showcase their charm.

That intense, clandestine competition almost escalated into a full-blown fight.

The difference is that after seeing Hu Biao, Mina immediately abandoned the group of sycophants around her, ran over, and threw herself into Hu Biao's arms.

Not to mention a pair of long legs clad in black stockings, which were tightly wrapped around Hu Biao's waist.

She even deliberately spoke in a loud, manipulative voice, "Brother-in-law! You secretly came to pick me up without my cousin knowing. Won't she be angry if she finds out?"

Good heavens! At least half the people in the terminal immediately turned to look at the source of the sound.

When the women looked at Hu Biao, their eyes were full of contempt for the scumbag; the men, besides being envious, also secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Of course, some people just took out their phones and started taking pictures.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that he might become a minor celebrity on certain platforms as a "scumbag".

For a moment, Hu Biao genuinely felt that it was better not to carry out the expansion plan of Deyuelou, and that he could just throw this lousy, cheap sister-in-law into the trash can.

Or perhaps we could pack it up and send it back...

*******
Of course! Whether it's jumping into Hu Biao's arms and saying those slutty things, or saying that the Deyuelou development plan is better off not going through.

These are either Mina's venting of resentment towards Hu Biao, the instigator of her recent pressure from her family to get married.

Or perhaps Hu Biao was just saying something in anger after being tricked. In the airport parking lot, Mina got into the back seat of Hu Biao's Mercedes-Benz G-Class; the car had barely started moving when Mina completely switched into "career elite mode."

She took out a delicate little notebook and a pen from her bag and placed them on her lap.

She spoke solemnly to Hu Biao, her tone completely devoid of any trace of her former scheming:

"Boss Hu! Tell me about the funds that Deyuelou can currently use, the talent pool it has, and its related development plans. I'll be well-informed and won't just drift along like this."

Although Hu Biao originally planned to discuss this work-related matter with Mina after the island nation issue was resolved and Annie returned.

However, seeing that my sister-in-law is so proactive, she doesn't dawdle.

While driving, he gave a rough introduction: "In terms of funds, Deyuelou and I have a total of about 15 million in our accounts."

If it's not enough, that's okay. Not counting the spoils from this battle, there are some that we'll keep as family heirlooms and can't sell. The other spoils should be worth around 50 million.

In terms of staff, Deyuelou currently has a total of 136 people across its main store and branches.

Each position is staffed with three times the number of people, so more than thirty store managers and kitchen supervisors can be mobilized at any time.

My plan is to open hot pot restaurants and braised food restaurants in those chain stores.

We aim to expand at a rate of at least five locations per month going forward; in addition to focusing on Beijing, we can also expand to first-tier cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Shanghai simultaneously.

Because if I use the hot pot base and spice packets that I personally mix and make, I can make hot pot and braised dishes.

As long as the ingredients are fresh and of high quality, the finished product will definitely not be as good as one I make entirely by hand, but I can guarantee at least 80% of the quality.

After hearing the above, Mina had a terrible headache.

Because Hu Biao was a complete novice in finance, he didn't even have the concept that money between company accounts and the boss's personal account couldn't be transferred at will.

It seems I'll need to work quite hard to improve Deyuelou's financial system.

However, she also knew that it would be useless to talk to Hu Biao about this now, so she asked another crucial question: "Have you calculated how much hot pot base and braising spice packets we would need if we had a lot of branches?"

"When the time comes, will you be able to manage making all of these?"

"I can manage. I can find someone to help me when the time comes. I just need to provide on-site guidance and be responsible for the most important things like the proportions and the cooking temperature."

Upon hearing this, Hu Biao spoke with great confidence.

Then, after thinking of something, he added, "My long-term plan is to have 500 branches within three years."

We want to have branches of Deyuelou in every prefecture-level city.

Whether or not we go public is still undecided; anyway, I'm not planning to fleece anyone. As for your compensation, don't worry, the initial annual salary is 1.5 million, and also…”

Before Hu Biao could finish explaining the treatment he and Annie had offered Mina,

Mina interrupted him directly: "Let's talk about empty promises later. How about giving us some tangible benefits now?"

"Don't be so rude! Just say it, be bold! We're all family now, your brother-in-law will definitely grant your wish," Hu Biao said, assuring everyone.

It can only be said that Hu Biao was extremely willing to spend money on this cheap sister-in-law.

Mina: "Brother-in-law! I want to sit in the passenger seat now."

Such a strange request came about because Annie had taken one of her eldest son's plush toys with her when she left home this morning.

When getting off the bus, they even placed the doll in the front passenger seat and fastened its seatbelt, essentially reserving a seat for it.

Her statement was: "Hu Biao's passenger seat can only accommodate one woman, her. If that's not possible, Hu Biao's sister and mother can sit there as well."

No other women are allowed to sit here, especially that brat Mina.

So Hu Biao, who had just been giving his assurances, immediately and decisively replied, "No."

"Heh! A man's words are just lies, I don't even want to sit here." Mina said to Hu Biao, her tone full of disdain.

But to be honest, there's a hint of sourness in it...
