Financial freedom begins with meeting wealthy women.

Chapter 49 Work and Girlfriend

The rich woman's words were very direct, stripping away all the connotations of Western cuisine's past image of superiority and elegance, as well as its cumbersome rules.

They sat down facing each other at a window seat.

Xu Qingman picked up the menu, glanced at it, and then said, "Special thick-cut steak, pan-fried salmon, spaghetti bolognese, cream of mushroom soup, and finally, tiramisu."

She handed the menu to the waiter, then looked at the tall young man across from her. "Do you drink?"

Su Jie smiled and said, "If Sister Man wants to drink, I can have a little with her."

Xu Qingman smiled and nodded. "Then let's have another bottle of white wine!"

While waiting for their food, the two started chatting.

Xu Qingman asked with a smile, "You mentioned last time that you wanted to start your own business and be your own boss. Have you found a good project yet?"

Su Jie shook his head. "Not yet, we're preparing to investigate."

Xu Qingman said, "I've found a good direction for you to start a business."

Su Jie asked curiously, "What is it?"

"I know a lot of friends and I also have quite a few clients."

Xu Qingman didn't keep them in suspense, "You can open a decent restaurant, and I'll introduce them to eat there."

Su Jie said, "That must cost a lot of money, right?"

"It won't cost much."

Xu Qingman smiled and said, "I had someone calculate it, and it should only cost about five million."

"As for the profit, after deducting workers' wages, rent, and utilities, we can earn at least 100,000 a month."

Although he had never run a business before, Su Jie still understood some of the tricks of the trade.

"Invest five million and earn one hundred thousand every month?"

"Sister Man, when do you think we'll be able to earn back our five million in investment?"

"hehe--"

Xu Qingman couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite smart, you know to factor in the initial investment."

Su Jie shook his head. "I know you want to help me, but there's really no need to do this."

The man was very clever, Xu Qingman said with a smile, revealing her true purpose.

"The current economic climate is not very good, and starting a business is not an easy thing."

"Although you are smart, you are still too naive for this society. You didn't study financial management in college, so you have no experience in managing a company."

"Under such circumstances, it's not easy to make a name for yourself in your first business venture."

"When I first took over the company, I was also overwhelmed and faced many setbacks."

"Later, through a bit of understanding and hard work, I gradually achieved the situation I have today."

"A tall building rises from the ground; a solid foundation is essential."

You are still young, and youth is your greatest asset.

"If you really want to start a business, a few more years won't make a difference."

"I don't expect you to make a lot of money from this restaurant."

"I just want you to take this opportunity to hone your skills. Whether you make money or not is not important."

"First, familiarize yourself with the startup process, cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, and accumulate experience in managing a company..."

"You need to learn these things slowly and gradually, and let them settle in your mind."

"Once you learn these things, you will have a clearer understanding of society."

"When the time is right, and there are opportunities to start a business, you'll be more likely to succeed!"

Understanding the rich woman's thought process, Su Jie couldn't help but secretly admire her.

He actually understood all of these things.

He is also very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

His only advantage is that he has a system that allows him to find shortcuts to success.

His shortcomings are also obvious: he has too little social experience and is not mature enough in his dealings with people and things.

These are things that the system cannot directly help him with.

He was willing to give Shen Ruoxuan a million-yuan start-up fund so that she could try her luck and see if she had any business talent.

But Xu Qingman is willing to give him five million!

Not only did they give him five million, but they also guaranteed him a minimum profit of 100,000 per month, so that he wouldn't be forced to give up and go bankrupt if he couldn't make money.

In other words.

He actually shares the same way of thinking as Xu Qingman; they are the same type of person.

No wonder they could appreciate each other with just a glance.

Seeing the man deep in thought and silent, Xu Qingman assumed he was unhappy. "Little brother, take your time learning. If you have any good business ideas, tell me, and we'll discuss it then."

"Sis, I know all of this."

Su Jie shook his head with a wry smile, "You were willing to invest five million to let me open a restaurant, but it didn't make any money..."

Xu Qingman laughed and said, "I thought you were angry!"

"I'm not that petty."

Su Jie shook his head. "I know in my heart who's good to me."

"It's not necessarily true that you can't make money."

Xu Qingman smiled gently and said, "The investment in that restaurant can actually be smaller, two million will suffice."

"The extra three million is to give you an extended platform, ensuring that you have enough room for development if you have the ability."

"I can guarantee you a profit of 100,000 every month. You can figure out a way to run the restaurant well, and maybe it will suddenly become a hit and you'll make a fortune."

"Earning 500,000 a month means you can recoup your investment in a year."

"Anything earned after that is pure profit!"

She opened the white wine the waiter brought and continued, "With successful experience, your chances of success in other things will greatly increase."

Her help wasn't enough; the man had to figure it out himself for it to be considered a success!

The extra three million was invested to enlighten men and give them goals to strive for!

"sister."

Su Jie stopped refusing. "You know I don't know anything. If I want to open this restaurant, you'll have to get someone to help me."

"I'll have my assistant help coordinate, and you'll just need to follow the procedures."

Xu Qingman nodded with a smile, "From site selection to decoration, to opening promotion, and finally, long-term operation!"

Su Jie smiled and nodded, "No problem."

Doing business is not difficult; what's difficult is having someone guide you into the industry.

He didn't know how to start a business either.

Let's do it for now, learn from the experience, and see how things go later.

Moreover, opening a high-end restaurant?

This perfectly overlaps with his "soul of flavor"!

After discussing starting a business, Xu Qingman turned her attention to the man's love life, "Little brother, I said I'd introduce you to a girlfriend last time. What kind of girl do you like?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Jie was as bold and direct as ever, "I like girls like you, Sister Man."

"You're not allowed to make fun of me."

Xu Qingman deliberately put on a stern face, "What kind of person do you actually like?"

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Su Jie deliberately said in a fit of pique, "It's nothing more than liking pretty girls, young girls, and girls with good figures!"

Sensing the complaint in the man's words, Xu Qingman pretended not to hear it. "My company has many beautiful single women, and my best friends are also very nice."

When asked to introduce women to him, Su Jie deliberately said, "I don't like women older than me; I like eighteen-year-olds."

Knowing that the man was being difficult, Xu Qingman wasn't angry. "I have a client whose daughter is just eighteen years old and has just started university. She's very beautiful. I'll arrange a time for you two to meet."

"Sister Man!"

Su Jie couldn't help but laugh, "Are you really going to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

"Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age."

Xu Qingman smiled and nodded, "You're twenty-three this year, it's about time you got married."

"I'm starting my own business and being my own boss, where do I find the time to date?"

Su Jie chuckled and shook his head. "Women will only slow down my earning speed!"

"Settling down first and then building a career are not mutually exclusive."

Xu Qingman had her reasons: "Having a girlfriend by your side to take care of you allows you to focus more on running the company."

"I don't like arranged marriages."

Su Jie shook his head again, his voice tinged with sadness, "If I can't marry the woman I love, I'm not planning to get married in this lifetime."
