By extracting their desires for blind dates, I became the richest man.

The next day.

Chen Qiu added the doctor girl on WeChat.

The other person's name was Kong Ying, she was 28 years old, a year older than him.

However, doctors usually pursue a combined master's and doctoral degree, and after a year of residency training, they are generally in their late twenties!

Even those who start working in their thirties are no exception.

Kong Ying's profile picture is a cute anime character.

Chen Qiu also recognized this anime character; it was a platelet from Cells at Work!

This is in line with her profession as a doctor.

As soon as I gave my name, the other person replied with an extremely apologetic emoji.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, something came up tomorrow. Could we reschedule the blind date for the day after tomorrow at noon?"

"Can."

Thank you for your understanding.

Chen Qiu had no objection to the change in timing.

The other person is a doctor, a PhD, and an older single man...

All these stereotypes combined made Chen Qiu still have some expectations for him.

However, judging from the current interactions, Kong Ying is quite polite.

Chen Qiu went downstairs for breakfast, and his mother asked with concern.

"How did your talk with that doctor go?"

"They seem to be quite busy; the time has been changed to noon the day after tomorrow."

"Sigh, doctors are really busy. I've seen doctors in TV dramas working night shifts, so they often can't take care of their families!"

Luo Jinglan frowned and murmured.

"This doesn't seem like a very good idea if my future daughter-in-law is a doctor!"

Upon hearing her words, Chen Zhide said.

"That's because you haven't changed your mindset!"

"When other families are looking for a wife, they prioritize those with stable jobs, just to ease the burden on their new family!"

"Given his current wealth, what burden does he still need to alleviate?"

"If a daughter-in-law is solely focused on work, she'll only be a burden to her son and their family!"

"If you ask me, the most suitable woman for a son is a virtuous and gentle wife and mother!"

"Just stay home and take care of the kids, keep things stable at home!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jinglan also figured it out.

That seems to make sense.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu was suddenly startled.

That won't work!

If you go on blind dates with these criteria in mind, then everyone will be paying you to join them.

How could they possibly make any more demands?

"Dad, you're wrong about that!"

"That's chauvinistic behavior that denies women's right to pursue and realize their personal value!"

Chen Qiugang had just finished a blind date with Yuan Yu, so he was very familiar with this routine.

The moment the hat appeared, the old father was left bewildered.

"If you ask me, you should look for someone ambitious and hardworking!"

"Do you really want a daughter-in-law who stays at home all day doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun?"

"Besides, just because I'm making money now doesn't mean I'll be making money in the future!"

"What if we go bankrupt someday? If my future wife has a career, we can still make a living!"

As soon as Chen Qiu finished speaking, Luo Jinglan spat out a few times.

"Bankruptcy? That's just nonsense!"

However, Luo Jinglan also quite agreed with Chen Qiu's words.

It would be better if the future daughter-in-law had a job.

"My son has a much longer-term vision!"

Luo Jinglan glanced at Chen Zhide and exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it turned out the way it was.

"Mom, don't worry about the woman having high standards. The real worry is that she might lack ambition. Let's find someone who meets those high standards!"

"Okay, I'll go ask right away."

I'm not afraid of going on many blind dates, I'm just afraid my son won't want to go on any!

Her son's impatient urging filled Luo Jinglan with excitement, and she went out to search for girls after finishing breakfast.

Chen Qiu wasn't idle either.

Xu Jia sent a message saying that he was handing over the shop today and asked if he had time to come over and show up.

Half an hour later.

Chen Qiu arrived at his family's asset management company.

Xu Jia had already given the original shop a simple cleaning and tidying up.

Xu Jiaxuan's shop was originally rented to a real estate agency.

An office, a meeting room, a lounge, plus a reception desk—the layout is quite suitable.

Xu Jia can put it into use directly without any renovation.

Upon entering the company, the signboard was already up, and Xu Jia, dressed in an OL suit, exuded a mature and sophisticated aura, making her look quite presentable.

Following behind Xu Jia was the manager of the management company that had previously entrusted the property to him.

Her surname is Li, and she is a woman around forty years old.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Manager Li stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Qiu, his eyes filled with amazement.

It's rare to see a tycoon who buys an entire street of shops like this.

And he's so young, I wonder which family's young master he is.

"Our previous management contract was settled on a quarterly basis."

"This is the revenue of your 48 stores after deducting management fees this quarter. Please confirm, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qiu glanced at it briefly.

The total is 3255877 yuan!

The numbers are complete, with both whole and fractional figures, and all income and management expenses are clearly listed.

The bulk of these profits naturally come from rent, with a small portion going towards dividends!

Some merchants who cannot afford to pay the full rent when leasing a property will convert a portion of their store's revenue into dividends and hand them over to the management company.

Of course, this kind of operation is relatively rare.

Chen Qiu glanced at Xu Jia, who nodded.

It was obviously confirmed in advance.

At this moment, Xu Jia spoke up.

"Mr. Chen, besides these, there are still three merchants whose rent has not been collected in full."

Chen Qiu looked at Manager Li, who seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"According to the contract, if you fail to pay the returns on time, not only will the management fees be waived, but you will also have to bear all the losses."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I've been urging these three companies for a month or two. Shall we go over and discuss it further later?"

"If they are unable to pay the remaining rent, our company will compensate them according to the contract."

Manager Li quickly replied.

Chen Qiu nodded reluctantly.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Qiu would definitely be too lazy to talk anymore and would just cause trouble for the management company, letting her handle it herself.

But since Xu Jia is a novice driver, this is a good opportunity for her to learn.

Shortly after, Manager Li made a phone call to each of the three merchants.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, I have already notified them. Two merchants are on their way, and another one is still in the store."

"Shall we go there now?"

"Um."

Then, the two followed Manager Li toward the first shop.

When Chen Qiu saw Manager Li's route, his expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"Could it be...?"

"This is the place."

Sure enough, Manager Li stood directly in front of a familiar coffee shop.

Ms. Wan's Coffee Lab.
