The woman in that house still had some connections. After seeing the money was brought over, under her guidance, all the procedures were simplified, and even without Zhan Lingfeng's mother arriving, the house transfer was completed.
In a few days, it probably wouldn't be so convenient to transfer anymore, right?
Zhan Lingfeng looked at the various documents that indicated the house was now in his possession, feeling extremely excited. In a few days, he would go and collect the property deed, and then it would truly belong to him.
After coming out, Zhan Lingfeng found Hu Yongming and asked him to help introduce someone for the renovations. Hu Yongming quickly found a person responsible for the renovations. After looking around the house and listening to Zhan Lingfeng's various renovation requirements, he stated that he would bring workers to start the renovations today.
Once the renovation person left, Hu Yongming looked at Zhan Lingfeng with a complex expression. He had watched Zhan Lingfeng work and never expected him to buy a house so quickly. Thinking about how much older he was than Zhan Lingfeng, he felt a deep bitterness in his heart and made a decision that he would later praise himself for.
"Xiu, I want to follow you and work from now on," Hu Yongming hesitated for a moment before seriously looking at Zhan Lingfeng and saying.
Zhan Lingfeng turned to Hu Yongming and asked, "Are you really sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure. You are a capable person and better than me. I drive every day but barely make any money; sometimes I can't even cover my fuel costs. You managed to create such a big scene in such a short time; I believe you will have even greater development. I've decided to work with you."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled. He appreciated Hu Yongming. This person knew when to advance and when to retreat; he wouldn't pry into matters that shouldn't be pried into. He was serious about his work and had discipline, which was exactly the kind of person he needed to help him handle some affairs.
"Alright, we are just getting started. I plan to set up a receiving point here where goods coming from the village will be stored. You can help me keep an eye on things. For now, I'll offer you a salary of one thousand yuan per month. What do you think?"
Zhan Lingfeng didn't offer a high salary; he wanted to test the other person's attitude toward money.
"I earn about that much running my car each month after deducting fuel costs and various expenses. I accept!"
"Okay, that's the base salary. In addition to this, there will be bonuses based on each task depending on the situation," Zhan Lingfeng added.
Hu Yongming nodded. He understood clearly that one thousand yuan was not something to worry about; those bonuses would be substantial. Indeed, his decision was correct.
"I noticed there's some land behind the house. Please ask if it can be purchased; if so, negotiate for me. We will need that space for incoming goods from the village."
"I'll go ask about it right away." Knowing this was Zhan Lingfeng's first task assigned to him, Hu Yongming responded earnestly.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now!"
Zhan Lingfeng headed towards Xue Xiu.
As he sat in the classroom, Zhan Lingfeng was carefully contemplating what to do next.
There couldn't be that many Soft-shelled Turtles, so it was naturally not sustainable. Therefore, the most important thing for Zhan Lingfeng right now was to come up with another profitable project.
"Hey, did Li Xiuli not come to school today?" asked a classmate named Lu Ming who sat next to him.
"She’s sick and took a leave."
"Oh."
After a while, Lu Ming said again, "Do you often take Li Xiuli out to eat?"
"What's up with that?"
"Well, I opened a snack shop in the countryside and am trying to get some business from Gu Yi."
After all this, Zhan Lingfeng found it interesting that Lu Ming was actually helping him pull in some business.
"Alright, how about this? Let's invite a few classmates tonight. I'll treat everyone and we can go eat at your place."
"What?" Lu Ming suddenly perked up and looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Lu Ming, saying, "Just stick to the hundred yuan budget. I don't know much about this; you handle it. Just don’t overspend."
Now Lu Ming was a bit excited. He didn't expect that a casual question would lead to a hundred-yuan deal. It was known that his shop didn’t earn much in a day, and with this business, he could hold his own at home.
"Alright, leave it to me! No problem at all. I’ll make sure to prepare the best dishes."
Lu Ming was still inquiring about whom to invite.
"You decide, I don't mind, and I don't know many people."
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng was thinking about opening a Restaurant. This gave Zhan Lingfeng a reminder: what kind of business could generate money like opening a Restaurant?
Indeed, this was a very good project—unobtrusive yet capable of generating substantial cash flow.
For others, opening a Restaurant might not necessarily be profitable, but for Zhan Lingfeng, his Restaurant would be entirely different from the ordinary. It would serve dishes nourished by Spiritual Energy, definitely not just a simple Restaurant.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was truly a viable project.
Zhan Lingfeng knew better than anyone about the situation on Earth. To an average person, it seemed that not many Cultivators came here, but for those in the know, members of the Cultivation Sect often passed through, looking for those with Spiritual Roots. Therefore, whatever one did here had to be approached with caution.
Naturally, Zhan Lingfeng could easily produce a large quantity of items, but that would attract too much attention. What he needed to do now was to focus on development. Opening a Restaurant was something he could manage; even if someone noticed, it wouldn't affect Earth's development, so no one would come to investigate.
The key issue was who would run it.
For a moment, Zhan Lingfeng couldn't think of a suitable candidate and was only planning this matter in his mind. Since he wanted to open a Restaurant, the first issue was the menu. He could grow vegetables and raise livestock in the village; those could be consumed in his own Restaurant. Additionally, he needed to consider rice cultivation. He hadn't paid much attention to this before, but now he needed to establish a Spiritual Field. Also, he needed wine; his Restaurant must have its own signature wine that had beautifying effects and other benefits. Of course, for men, enhancing certain aspects was even more important. Moreover, a Medicinal Hot Pot was essential.
In short, this establishment must be designed to attract customers as soon as they entered.
