Super Rich: It all started when I met a young woman in a sleeper car.

Yang Xiaotao was a little worried: "Then... won't he think we lied to him?"

"No," Chen Xun said confidently. "His focus right now is on getting the money within three days. As long as we agree to pay, he won't care that much about the contract details. Of course, we can't cheat him; we need to write everything down clearly to avoid future disputes."

The four of them practiced with the materials for a while, anticipating various questions and challenges that Zhou Wenbin might raise, and prepared their responses.

By the time everything was sorted out, it was already past 10 p.m.

"Alright," Chen Xun clapped his hands, "Go to bed early tonight and get plenty of rest. Tomorrow will be a tough battle."

Lin Xinyue nodded vigorously: "We must win!"

Li Qian tidied up the papers on the table without saying a word, but her eyes were very focused.

Yang Xiaotao hugged the calculator and notebook to her chest and whispered, "Big brother, we'll definitely make it happen, right?"

Chen Xun looked at her, then at Lin Xinyue and Li Qian.

"Of course," he said. "With the four of us together, there's no reason we can't reach an agreement."

He looked out the window.

The city's night view is bustling, and the neon signs of the MixC shopping mall are faintly visible in the distance.

That will be the first step in his business expansion.

The first step must be taken steadily.

The next afternoon, Chen Xun, along with three girls and a contract template that had been prepared overnight, arrived at the entrance of the "MixC World" store on time.

Zhou Wenbin was already waiting, and when he saw Chen Xun followed by three strikingly beautiful girls, he was stunned for a moment.

"Boss Chen, this..." He pointed to Lin Xinyue and the others.

"My team," Chen Xun introduced simply, "people I work with."

Zhou Wenbin nodded, asked no further questions, and took out his keys to open the door.

The shop was still empty, but the sun was shining brightly today, making it much more spacious.

"I've read the contract," Zhou Wenbin said, taking out a few sheets of paper from his briefcase. They were a printed copy of the electronic version Chen Xun had sent him yesterday. "The terms... are basically as you wrote. Three months' deposit and one month's rent in advance, transfer fee of 135,000. The first payment of 67,500 is due within three days of signing. The remainder will be paid in three installments."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xun and said, "Boss Chen, your payment method really has me completely under your control."

Chen Xun smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, let's be considerate of each other. You urgently need money, so I'll help you with the cash flow. I also need cash flow to run my shop; I can't let it all be drained at once. It's a win-win situation."

"Alright then." Zhou Wenbin sighed, took out a pen, and said, "Sign it."

Two contracts were signed by both parties.

Chen Xun took out his phone and immediately transferred 67,500 yuan to Zhou Wenbin's account.

Zhou Wenbin's phone rang. He glanced at it, and his expression visibly relaxed.

"Received it." He handed the keys to Chen Xun. "This place is yours now."

【Ding! 】

[The host has been detected to have invested in the newly added asset, "MixC World Pedestrian Street Shop".]

Investment amount: 135000 yuan (first installment of 67500 yuan has been paid).

[Rebate amount: 67500 yuan × 10 = 675000 yuan.]

[Critical hit rate calculation in progress... Project potential assessment in progress...]

Critical hit rate: 15%, critical hit failed.

The funds have been successfully transferred to the host's designated account.

Chen Xun's phone vibrated immediately afterward.

He took it out and glanced at it; the bank deposit notification read: 675,000.00 yuan.

He calmly put his phone back in his pocket.

"Let's go," he said to the three girls, "let's go check out our own shop."

Zhou Wenbin said goodbye and left first, probably in a hurry to fill the hole.

Once the door closed, only the four of them remained in the shop.

"Wow!" Lin Xinyue was the first to jump up, running around the empty store. "Big brother! Is this our territory from now on? It's so big!"

Li Qian walked to the window and looked at the endless stream of people walking outside: "The location is definitely top-notch."

Yang Xiaotao followed behind Chen Xun timidly and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are we really going to have two stores?"

"Okay." Chen Xun nodded and walked to the center of the shop. "Come on, everyone, let's get down to business."

Three people gathered around.

"The contract is signed, the money is paid, and the store is ours," Chen Xun said. "Next comes renovation, stocking up, hiring, and opening. Time is tight and the task is heavy."

He looked at the three people: "Now, let's divide the tasks."

"Li Qian," he said, looking first at the girl with purple hair, "you have good taste and a clear mind. You'll be in charge of the interior design and on-site supervision of the new store. The style should be similar to the old store, but with some upgrades, after all, this is a commercial area. Find a construction team, monitor the progress, and ensure the quality."

Li Qian nodded: "Okay."

"Lin Xinyue," Chen Xun looked at the red-haired girl, "you're meticulous with money, have a loud voice, and are great at bargaining. You'll be in charge of the overall budget and cost control for all the materials for the new store. Compare prices from three different vendors for tables, chairs, kitchenware, light boxes, and the first batch of ingredients, saving wherever possible, but the quality can't be compromised. Send me the accounts daily."

"Leave it to me!" Lin Xinyue patted her chest confidently. "I guarantee every penny will be spent wisely!"

"Yang Xiaotao," Chen Xun said, finally turning to the blonde girl, "you'll follow Li Qian and Lin Xinyue around, listening, observing, and learning as much as you can. Assist Li Qian in overseeing the renovations and assist Xinyue with purchasing records. Also, based on the experience of the old store, create a preliminary version of the new store's service procedures and employee training manual."

Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will definitely study hard!"

Chen Xun paused for a moment, then said, "I've already contacted the renovation team, and they'll be on site this afternoon. Li Qian, you'll coordinate with them. Xin Yue, this afternoon you'll go to the building materials market and the kitchenware market to find out the lowest prices. Xiao Tao, you'll follow Li Qian and start learning from taking measurements."

"And what about you, brother?" Lin Xinyue asked.

"I'll go and finish the rest of the paperwork," Chen Xun said, "the business license change, the food safety permit, and so on. I'll also check the surrounding area to see if there are any resources we can collaborate with."

With a clear division of labor, the four people immediately got to work.

Less than half an hour later, several workers from the renovation team arrived in their van.

The foreman in charge was a dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man surnamed Wang.

Li Qian held the simple floor plan that Chen Xun had given her and walked around the shop with Foreman Wang, talking as they went.

"This area needs to be demolished to create an open-plan kitchen window."

"This wall is all painted industrial gray, but we need to leave one section as a photo booth wall, made of a material that can hold sticky notes."

"Use warm white light in the main lighting area, and add an ambient light strip around the photo wall."

"Inspect all the water and electricity lines, and replace any that are old immediately."

Li Qian speaks slowly but clearly and logically, with explicit requirements.

Foreman Wang listened and took notes, occasionally asking a few questions about the details.

Yang Xiaotao followed beside her, holding a small notebook, writing down the key points Li Qian made and Wang the foreman's response.

On the other side, Lin Xinyue was already settling accounts with Chen Xun.

"Brother, I just asked Foreman Wang, and his basic quote for the hard furnishings is 45,000 yuan." Lin Xinyue tapped away on her phone calculator. "If we're going to get the tables and chairs custom-made like the ones from the old shop, a set will probably cost 20,000 yuan. New kitchenware is too expensive, so I'm thinking of looking at the secondhand market, but I estimate it'll cost at least 15,000 yuan."
