Ling Zhenfei laughed: "I don't care whether you rest or not, you have to finish the designs of these three restaurants as soon as possible, and then supervise the renovations at these three locations."
"Just these three, are you sure?" Zhou Tong was a bit skeptical.
Ling Zhenfei replied with a smile: "That's right, just these three. I'll take it slow for future projects, let's see how it goes first."
"Alright, boss, the design for the restaurant in Modu is already complete. I should be heading to the Capital City in the next couple of days. Do you know who I should contact once I arrive?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and gave Zhou Tong the phone numbers for Cao Qinglin and Cao Xueyi. He carefully explained their relationships — Cao Qinglin is just a collaborator, and Cao Xueyi will be a colleague in the future.
Zhou Tong is incredibly smart, almost imdiately understanding the situation as it was explained to him.
After everything was arranged, Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone and then made another call to Jiang Hui.
The call with Jiang Hui connected imdiately, and her delightful voice ca through: "Boss Ling, you finally rembered . I thought you'd forgotten all about ."
Ling Zhenfei said, "How could I forget you?"
Jiang Hui said, "Co on, don't think I don't know. It's only been a few days, and you've already hooked up with that rich girl. Don't think I'm unaware."
Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless, realizing that his business with Cao Xueyi had beco common gossip throughout the city.
"Don't overthink. What could happen between her and ? You know I rarely actively pursue anyone; it's all just a misunderstanding."
Jiang Hui said, "Forget it. I don't need an explanation from you anyway. It's your life, and I can't manage it. I'm just your secretary and now your employee. Just tell what needs to be done."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "When we initially signed the contract with Guo Jia, you were with during the discussions. Recently, I noticed there are many loopholes in the contract we signed."
Indeed, after today's contract signing with Cao Qinglin, Ling Zhenfei gained so insights and found several problematic clauses. This made him recall there might also be so hidden issues in the contract signed with Guo Jia.
Although the contract with Guo Jia doesn't have as many problematic clauses as that with Cao Qinglin, Ling Zhenfei doesn't feel secure with any potential risks, hence he called Jiang Hui.
"How serious are the hidden issues?" Jiang Hui asked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "People nowadays can be very cunning. We never know what the people we partner with might have up their sleeve, so we need to be vigilant in future dealings, avoiding leaving any hold in others' hands."
What Ling Zhenfei said was very earnest, indeed understanding the seriousness of the matter.
"What should we do then?" Jiang Hui asked, as she was not particularly experienced in this area herself.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Our restaurant is still in the design stage, and we haven't yet invested much, so it's the best ti for redial action."
"Tell what to do; I'll write it down."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a while and said, "I've recently signed a new contract full of traps initially, but after much effort, I've managed to and quite a bit. I'll send you the revised contract clauses, so you can compare them item by item to see any discrepancies."
Jiang Hui said, "Okay, I'll carefully review the contract we signed last ti. If I do find issues, what should we do?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If there are problems, docunt them all, then discuss them with Guo Jia. Draft supplentary clauses, and if Guo Jia disagrees, we'll terminate the cooperation. We can't leave any risks."
"Alright, send them over, and I'll handle it right away."
After discussing the contract andnts, the two hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei took photos of the entire contract and sent them to Jiang Hui.
After making these two phone calls, Ling Zhenfei finally felt at ease. At this mont, he realized how difficult it is nowadays to achieve anything, with traps everywhere, and you never know when you might fall into one.
Originally, Ling Zhenfei intended to visit Xu Yuyu's room, but just then there was a knock on the door. He hurriedly opened it, finding Cao Xueyi standing outside.
"Brother Ling, can I co in?"
Ling Zhenfei quickly let Cao Xueyi into the room and asked, "What's up? It's quite late."
Cao Xueyi said, "It's like this, Brother Ling. After our eting today, I contacted so of my classmates, and they're very interested in the restaurant, deciding to join us."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's great news. No need to inform , just make the arrangents yourself."
Cao Xueyi said, "Of course I know. I have plenty of questions regarding the restaurant that I wish to ask you."
"Ask away, whatever you're curious about."
Cao Xueyi said, "Firstly, when is the restaurant renovation scheduled? Is it confird?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "I've just called our Xi Shan Restaurant's designated designer today. He's currently working on a design for a restaurant in Modu, and once he finishes there, he'll head straight to the Capital City."
Cao Xueyi said, "That's great. During this gap, I want to take my classmates to visit the Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang. Could you help arrange that?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's simple. Just go directly, and I'll arrange soone for you. You're already part of the Xi Shan Restaurant managent team, so it's appropriate to visit Binyang."
Cao Xueyi smiled and said, "That would be wonderful. I've seen many introductions to Xi Shan Restaurant and Xishan Manor, and they seem amazing, almost magical. We all really want to go."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm heading to the Provincial City tomorrow morning, and you all should go to Binyang and pass through the Provincial City. How about we go together?"
Cao Xueyi slightly hesitated: "Is that really okay?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course it's fine."
"What ti tomorrow?" Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Tomorrow afternoon; I have a few things to handle in the morning."
Cao Xueyi said, "Alright, I'll arrange the plane tickets, and we'll go to the Provincial City in the afternoon together."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Okay, let's do it."
Truthfully, Ling Zhenfei was hinting at wanting to wrap up the conversation from that comnt, but Cao Xueyi seed not to notice at all. She asked, "Brother Ling, can I stay a little longer?"
Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "It's quite late, it's probably not appropriate for you to stay here."
Cao Xueyi said, "What's inappropriate? I just want to keep you company, anyway I can't sleep if I go back."
Ling Zhenfei thought to himself that Xu Yuyu was waiting for him in the room next door, probably growing impatient by now.
Ling Zhenfei said to Cao Xueyi, "Don't you need to contact your classmates and pack your luggage for tomorrow's trip to Binyang?"
