After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Boan nodded and asked Chen Pingping curiously, "What did you go to the bank for? Can you tell me?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Look at what you said. Is there anything I can't say to you? Of course it's convenient. In fact, I went to the bank for a happy event!"

Chen Pingping paused for a moment, looked at Xu Bo'an with admiration, and said, "Thanks to you, I plan to open another clothing store!"

Xu Boan smiled and said, "That's great. Where is the new store? Have you found it?"

Chen Pingping nodded and said, "I didn't have this idea at first. It just so happened that a store not far from me couldn't continue to operate, so I was preparing to sell it. I had already negotiated with him, but I didn't expect that the mobile bank transfer failed, saying that it had reached the upper limit.

I called the bank and found out that large transfers were restricted. I thought I would go to the bank to open a large payment service. Then I would apply for a loan to cover the subsequent renovation and purchase of goods.

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Then I have to congratulate you. You have opened a second store. It seems that your business is still very good. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. If you continue to develop like this, maybe you can create a clothing empire?"

Chen Pingping quickly waved his hands and said modestly after hearing what Xu Bo'an said, "Don't be ridiculous. They are just two small shops. The business is indeed pretty good, but not as outrageous as you say. You know I am just a grass-roots person with no resources, no background, and no money. How can I have anything to do with the clothing empire?"

When the two talked about this, Xu Bo'an suddenly had an idea. Since he was going to quit Dongjiang Erjian anyway, without the constraints of the company contract, he could actually start his own business.

Chen Pingping's business is a good opportunity for me to invest. I can invest in her. Anyway, I don't lack money now. Even if it fails, I won't suffer too much loss. There is no harm in investing more.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
However, Xu Bo'an is definitely not the kind of person who is stupid and rich and randomly looks for investors. He has his own reasons for planning to invest in a clothing store and let Chen Pingping manage it.

The first reason is that, although we know that Chen Pingping's clothing store is not big, she runs it very successfully and retains many new and old customers, which shows that she has a certain business acumen. Now she is going to open a second one, which proves that the turnover is also very good, otherwise, with her personality, she would not expand the store.

You have to know that the competitiveness of the clothing industry is extremely strong. What's more, her store does not have its own fixed marketing and promotion model like other big-name chain stores. The operation of this small store depends entirely on personal ability. Xu Boan can see that she is a person with certain potential and a malleable talent.

The second reason was that Xu Bo'an also had a little selfish motive, because he knew Chen Pingping better. She was just an ordinary grassroots person without any connections or background in her family. She relied on her own efforts, step by step, and accumulated little by little to achieve the small results she has today.

Investing in such people will make you less worried. If they become bigger and stronger in the future and develop some ambitions, it will be easier to control them.

Xu Bo'an knew the truth that "You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

Another point is that after spending so much time with Xu Bo'an, Chen Pingping has not done anything that crosses the line, and I think her character is also good. The more interests are tied to Chen Pingping, the more solid their relationship will be in the future.

After comprehensive consideration, Xu Bo'an, who had this idea, said to Chen Pingping: "How big is your gap now?"

Chen Pingping blushed slightly after hearing this. She thought Xu Bo'an was going to do something else. She was still thinking about how to answer him, and then she heard Xu Bo'an continue, "How about you open a clothing store and I'll pay for it?"

When Chen Pingping heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his face. What kind of vicious words were these!
I open the shop and you pay the money, this is just a naked maintenance relationship!

However, it seems that I have already prepared myself for this. In my eyes, Xu Boan is quite good in all aspects, and there seems to be only a thin layer of window paper between the two of them.

After all, this is already my second marriage. In the current circle of life, it is basically impossible to find a more reliable and outstanding backer than Xu Bo'an.

But I agreed to it for no reason. Wasn't it too abrupt? Should I be more reserved?
Chen Pingping was struggling fiercely in his heart when he heard Xu Bo'an continue, "This is what I'm thinking. If you want to borrow money from a bank, you have to pay interest after all. If you agree, I can lend you the money, or...how about I invest in you?"

When Chen Pingping heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

After all this trouble, I realized that my inner thoughts were too complicated! The other person's feelings were not about me at all!

Seeing that Chen Pingping was still silent, Xu Bo'an simply laid his cards on the table and said, "If you agree, you don't have to go to the bank today. I will transfer the money directly to your account, and you will be in charge of the follow-up matters, including the management of the store.
As for the business operations, you will be in charge of them. If you do well, you can open a fourth store, a fifth store, etc. You can continue to expand. I will also be responsible for all the subsequent investments. What do you think?"

Chen Pingping had originally thought of paying the rent on an annual basis, but after doing some calculations based on his own turnover, water and electricity bills, rent, etc., he decided that it would be more cost-effective to buy the house himself.

Wanda Plaza in Dongjiang City is not a wholly owned property of the nationally renowned tycoon Wanda Group, but a shopping mall in which the local urban investment company is the major shareholder. The stores inside can be rented or sold. Chen Pingping bought her first store in full.

However, the prices of shops in Wanda Plaza have increased very rapidly in recent years, and Chen Pingping's current funds make it difficult for him to buy a shop in full.

She was thinking of using the money she had saved over the past few years, plus the money she earned from Xu Boan, to pay a down payment first. As for the later decoration and payment for goods, she could wait for Xu Boan to pay her the large sum of hiring fees in a month or two, and then make the installment payments.

I had originally planned to come here early today to clean up Xu Bo'an's residence, and then go to Wanda Shopping Mall to pay the deposit.

Now, after hearing what Xu Boan said, Chen Pingping's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and the expression on his face was extremely excited. Almost in an instant, Xu Boan felt a fragrant breeze coming.

Then, Chen Pingping pecked him on the face like a little bird!
"Great, Boan, I'm willing to accept your investment!"

While talking, Chen Pingping still held Xu Boan's arm tightly, but in an instant, she felt a push and Xu Boan actually pushed her away.

Chen Pingping was stunned for a moment.

I don’t know what Xu Boan means by this!
Chen Pingping's family was not well off since she was a child. She often wore clothes that were given to her by relatives, neighbors, or older sisters. Some of the clothes were even patched. She was often ridiculed by other children when she went to school. For a little girl who loved beauty so much, this left a huge psychological trauma on her, and she became extremely unconfident for a time.

Since her family conditions were average, Chen Pingping decided to work hard and study hard so that she could buy herself new clothes when she grew up and never be laughed at again. As a result, she could have gone to a better school and become a formal teacher after graduation.

However, due to the lingering psychological shadow and her dream of fashion design, she gave up her iron rice bowl. Despite her family's strong opposition, she resolutely chose fashion design, even at the cost of almost causing a quarrel among her family members.

During college, her family was not well off and the money her parents gave her could not cover the high tuition fees. In addition to learning professional knowledge, she also had to work part-time and endure contempt from her classmates. That period was the pain of her life, but also the motivation for her to work hard.

Unexpectedly, after graduation, when she was about to look for a job, she realized that it was extremely difficult to find a job with a major in fashion design. She had no choice but to open a small shop on her own. After her business started to pick up, she moved to Wanda Plaza, a place with a large flow of customers.
Now she is going to develop a second store. For a grassroots person with no one to rely on, it is already very good. However, in the eyes of people with a little bit of financial resources, she is just a "poor clothes seller". She is very distressed. After so many years of hard work, she thinks that she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.

But now in the eyes of relatives and classmates, she has a new title, "a poor clothes buyer", and she still has no dignity and no status. Although she greets people with a smile in the store every day, she is often depressed when she returns to her room alone.

There is no way people are born different. Some are born in Rome, some are born to be cattle and horses. What can you do if you feel uncomfortable? What can you do if you can't get over it?
When the sun rises as usual the next day, keep moving forward with a smile on your face!

Over the years, she has already recognized the reality. The society has smoothed her edges and corners, and her dreams when she was young have long been buried deep in her heart. Now she tries to stay away from those who despise her, and just wants to keep working hard to run her shop and live an ordinary life every day.

Unexpectedly, today Xu Boan was willing to invest in himself. How could Chen Pingping not be excited when his heart had been suppressed for so long?
I opened a shop to sell clothes, so you can say I am a "broken clothes buyer"!
So what about five stores or ten stores?
In the eyes of most people, this is definitely a successful chain store owner.

The more Chen Pingping thought about it, the more excited he became. Xu Bo'an in front of him suddenly became more golden and shining!
Is my career going to take a qualitative leap from today? Is my career going to turn around soon?

Imagine that when we finally put out the little flame, and then reluctantly give it up, and carefully bury it in the deepest part of our hearts, and suddenly someone tells you that he can help you realize your dream, rekindling your hope, can you not be excited? Wouldn’t you be crazy about it?

Therefore, it is understandable that Chen Pingping's reaction was a bit extreme at the time.

The moment Xu Bo'an pushed his hand away, Chen Pingping realized that he was a little too excited and apologized quickly, "Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry! You know what? This has always been my dream, a dream that is out of reach.

I was really too happy, so much so that... Please forgive me, I will never do such absurd things again."

Xu Boan said seriously: "It's okay, it's just that I don't like to involve too many personal feelings when talking about serious matters. I hope you can understand!"

Chen Pingping curled her lips in her heart, "Old Xu, Old Xu, this is boring. We are all adults. How could you, an engineer, invest in a clothing store? And even if you want to invest in clothing, you should have a lot of choices!"
They say there is no such thing as a free lunch, but now such a big pie has come without any warning? Is there any reason for it?
I'm a woman with no background, and the only reason you can find from me to get me to invest is me!
I don't intend to let you be responsible, I just want to find a harbor and a support for myself!

Is it true that I, Chen Pingping, have no charm at all in your eyes?

Thinking of this, Chen Pingping suddenly felt a little flustered. The most insecure time for a woman is when she doubts herself.

Chen Pingping was just beginning to feel suspicious when Xu Bo'an continued, "Besides, I was holding the chopsticks just now. Your excited movement almost made me drop the bowl. My resistance was just a subconscious behavior."

After saying this, Xu Bo'an looked at Chen Pingping with amusement, took out a piece of tissue and slowly wiped his mouth.

When Chen Pingping heard Xu Bo'an's words, she instantly became happy again.

I said it, after all, I, Chen Pingping, was the beauty in class, college and school. Although I have lost the sweetness of my youth, I have gained a lot more mature charm.

The rate at which people turn their heads to look at you on the street is the best proof of this!

After listening to Xu Boan's explanation, Chen Pingping did not hesitate any longer and pounced on Xu Boan in an instant!

There is no words for a moment, only the spring breeze!

……

When I left home, it was already an hour later.

Chen Pingping, wearing pajamas, tied Xu Bo'an's tie like a qualified wife. She also squatted down like a servant to help Xu Bo'an put on his shoes with a shoe horn. Then she looked at Xu Bo'an tenderly and said, "Drive slowly! If you want to eat anything for lunch, just send me a message at any time."

Xu Boan smiled and said, "I won't be back for lunch, you should rest for a while!"

Xu Boan was going to meet Su Tai, so they must have lunch together.

Chen Pingping nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and waved it towards Xu Bo'an, and said with a smile: "Well, then, since my employer is not at home today, I can happily slack off again."

Xu Bo'an was just about to make a joke when he heard a joyful greeting from behind him.

"Mr. Xu, you are back from abroad!" (End of this chapter)
