The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO's Wife
Chapter 249: Lights in the Dusk
Chapter 249
"By September, Zhengzheng will be able to start kindergarten," said Xu Xiuhe.
"At kindergarten, she'll meet lots and lots of little friends."
"Hahahahaha"
Xu Xiuhe's hearty laughter echoed through the car.
"How's the company doing, and what about Xu Group?" Shen Yin asked.
"The company is still developing. As for Xu Group, under Xu Zhengyang's management, it's been on a downward slope. In about two years, it'll be just about done."
Xu Xiuhe had always felt that with Xu Zhengyang managing Xu Group, it wouldn't last long. In his hands, it was only a matter of time before the company would be acquired.
He was merely putting in extra effort to speed up the acquisition of Xu Group.
"Shall we go for dinner?" Shen Yin suggested.
"Qingfan Tower?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Sure, I want to go and see how business has been in the first few days since Qingfan Tower opened."
"You..." Xu Xiuhe smiled indulgently. Shen Yin was certainly not a woman who could sit idle. Even though she didn't need to do anything except look beautiful, she insisted on taking on various business ventures.
She ran a furniture business, opened a clothing studio, and now the restaurant was thriving.
He felt almost inadequate in comparison.
The family of three arrived at Chen Siming's Qingfan Tower. The restaurant was as bustling as ever, with people queuing outside for the next seating. Outside, the pond was full of lotus leaves, with fish swimming beneath.
The early summer evening breeze was cool. Even though customers were waiting, they didn't seem impatient. After all, the scenery was beautiful, and the air was fresher than in other places.
Looking at this scene, Shen Yin felt quite pleased and couldn't help but say, "The moonlight and lanterns create a dreamy atmosphere, as if we've traveled back a thousand years to the Song Dynasty."
"Shall we take a boat ride?" Xu Xiuhe asked.
"I just had another thought," Shen Yin said. "We could expand this artificial lake in the future, build more bridges over it, and plant willow trees along both shores. We could turn this area into a place where people can not only dine and relax but also enjoy recreational activities."
Xu Xiuhe looked around the area. When Chen Siming had asked him about the location earlier, he had suggested that since they were creating a private kitchen, they shouldn't choose a busy area like ordinary restaurants.
While high foot traffic is good, it doesn't allow for showcasing unique features. It's better to choose a less crowded place; if you have something special to offer, people will come. This way, you can not only establish a brand but also benefit from lower real estate prices compared to busy areas.
Chen Siming had indeed followed his advice. This place was not only remote but had few buildings, offering ample space. There was plenty of parking available everywhere.
If they wanted to expand the restaurant in the future, it would be convenient. The surrounding area was open, so they could simply buy the land and expand outward from the original Qingfan Tower.
"Have you considered buying this entire plot of land, expanding the artificial lake, building more buildings like this nearby, and even looking further ahead to turn this place into a cultural street? Make it a must-visit spot, create a famous scenic area," Xu Xiuhe suggested.
"Like the current old town?" Shen Yin asked.
"Not exactly, but you could describe it that way. It would serve to promote culture on one hand, and on the other, it has great business potential."
Xu Xiuhe had always had a keen eye for opportunities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make Heyuan Group rival well-established companies in just a few short years.
So Shen Yin had great faith in Xu Xiuhe's vision and abilities. After hearing this proposal, she was seriously considering what he had said.
"Let's discuss it with Chen Siming after a while," Shen Yin said. In reality, she was already thinking of various plans in her mind. She was a person of action, always ready to implement her ideas.
"I'm hungry, Daddy and Mommy," came a little voice.
"Then let's go up and eat."
Xu Xiuhe picked up the little one and headed towards the building.
"I actually just thought of another plan," Shen Yin said.
"What plan?"
"If we expand the artificial lake in the future, we could add more pleasure boats, and people could dine on the boats too."
Xu Xiuhe replied, "That's a good idea, but right now, our most pressing matter is to go eat."
Chen Siming, knowing Shen Yin had arrived, immediately arranged a private room for them. After all, who was Shen Yin? Without her, there would be no Qingfan Tower.
"Sister-in-law," Chen Siming greeted.
"How's business been these past few days?" Shen Yin asked.
"The turnover has been consistently high. Even though the location is remote, we don't have enough private rooms every day."
"Have you thought about expanding the restaurant?" Xu Xiuhe asked.
With Xu Xiuhe's question, Chen Siming was indeed tempted.
"Let's discuss it slowly with sister-in-law after a while."
"After a while, I should be calling you cousin-in-law," Shen Yin joked.
It wasn't really a joke, though. She had heard from Fang Yue that Chen Siming and Fang Ningning were getting along well. Everything seemed suitable, and given their age, if nothing unexpected happened, they would likely get married around National Day.
Shen Yin's words made Chen Siming a bit embarrassed, and he quickly changed the subject, asking Zhengzheng what she wanted to eat.
When Zhengzheng was younger, she would only say "meat," but now it was different.
"Lamb, fish, beef," she said.
"Alright, you'll have everything you want," Chen Siming said.
He instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes and then left the private room, not wanting to disturb the family of three during their meal.
"It's great. If they get married on National Day, there'll be one less single person among our friends," Xu Xiuhe remarked.
Hearing this, Shen Yin truly felt that Xu Xiuhe was a bit abnormal, always eager to help those around him find partners, matching up as many couples as he could. He had already successfully paired up quite a few.
"By the way, what about Shu Yi?" Shen Yin asked.
"She's off shooting a suspense drama. When I messaged her in the car earlier, she had just finished work. When she heard that Qi Ji had given birth to twins, she almost rushed back from the film set overnight."
"Zhi Yuan has also been busy with company matters lately."
"Don't meddle in their affairs. That's not something we should interfere with," Shen Yin emphasized once again.
After dinner, Shen Yin said she needed to use the restroom. Xu Xiuhe waited with Zhengzheng at the corner by the door.
As Shen Yin came out, she was stopped by a young man.
"Beautiful lady, can I add you on WeChat?" the man asked, holding out his phone. There were a few other people nearby.
"I'm sorry, I'm married," Shen Yin refused directly.
"Come on, you're so young. How could you possibly be married? That must be just an excuse, right?" The man seemed skeptical and continued to press.
"Mommy!" Xu Yunzheng ran straight towards Shen Yin.
Shen Yin bent down and hugged the little one. The child had indeed grown; it was now somewhat difficult to lift her.
"Mommy, Daddy says if you don't come over soon, he'll get angry."
