Chapter 523 Praise and Killing
Liu Quan's gratitude towards Hua Yan transformed into motivation for his work.
"Uncle Quan, I want to start my own construction company. You should take the lead in this. Select experienced craftsmen and pay them more than they did when they worked for others."
In the future, we will not only have many projects to build ourselves, but also need to undertake projects from other companies once they are completed.
I'll have Uncle Miao cooperate with you first, and from now on you'll be responsible for it yourself.
In a while, Mr. Chai will need to build a shopping mall, which has very high quality requirements. He hopes that the team you have assembled can take over these projects.
Uncle Quan, I have many thoughts about this construction company…
Hua Yan briefly introduced Liu Quan to the real estate development company from her previous life, as well as the decoration company and property management company, and gave Liu Quan a brief introduction.
Because in a few years, the welfare housing provided by enterprises will be replaced by housing monetization, and the real estate market will experience rapid development at that time.
In her previous life, Hua Yan missed this wave, and she absolutely cannot miss it in this life.
"Jiu'er, can we really make it that big?"
"Yes, definitely. As long as you manage the construction company well, its future development may surpass all of our existing enterprises."
Hua Yan had an expression that said, "I believe you're right."
“Great! I will definitely set up this construction company according to your ideas, first to meet the needs of our own company.”
Liu Quan felt his whole body brimming with energy.
"Uncle Quan, please find someone to take over your work as soon as possible."
"Okay! What do you think of Su Ying and her husband?"
Liu Quan's first thought was Su Ying, because Su Ying had the most contact with him and was very reliable and methodical in her work.
"You can decide for yourself. As long as you are capable enough, I have no objection."
Hua Yan also thought highly of Su Ying, because she was a child raised by Secretary Su, and she was certainly capable. Moreover, she had heard that Su Ying was studying hard and preparing to take the college entrance examination this year.
"Okay! Then I'll talk to them."
Liu Quan had also observed Su Ying's work, seeing how she did her job well, how she balanced her relationships with family and colleagues, and how she supervised the work of her husband Gu Decai's brothers.
Su Ying did all of these things very well, without any selfish motives. Even so, she was always worried about not doing well enough and causing trouble for Hua Yan! She always did everything carefully and cautiously, just so as not to betray Hua Yan's trust in her.
Liu Quan saw all of this and kept it in mind, so when Hua Yan asked him to find someone to take over the work, the first person he thought of was Su Ying.
Liu Quan stood up with his notebook. Although he still had a lot to say to Hua Yan, he had been sitting for too long, and Zhang Tao outside had been peeking in several times.
"Uncle Quan, take your time with the work, don't rush. If you have any problems, just ask Uncle Miao, or you can ask me."
Rong Bo's fifth younger brother, Rong Hua, has also started a construction company, and its business has now expanded from country A to country J. I'll introduce you to him sometime.
Hua Yan knew Liu Quan's character; he was serious and responsible. She was worried that if she entrusted him with such an unfamiliar task, he would be clueless and anxious. Actually, she had already told him everything she could think of, but saying and doing are two different things, so she gave him a word of advice.
"Okay! I know. You're busy. Zhang Tao, Kong Wen, Liang Dong, and Hai Yitian are all waiting to talk to you. I'm going first, so they'll just have to wait and see."
Liu Quan left, feeling both pressured and motivated.
"Brother Tao, you go ahead, I've seen you come out to check several times already."
When Kong Wen came out of the door, he saw Zhang Tao and politely declined to speak to him.
"Okay! I only have a few words to say, and I'll be out after that."
Zhang Tao didn't stand on ceremony. The key point was that Hua Yan hadn't inquired about Jinlou's affairs since the last collaboration with the store.
The initial plan was to sell gold and silver jewelry on the first floor, daily necessities on the second floor, clothing on the third floor, home appliances on the fourth floor, and restaurants on the fifth floor.
He was only familiar with gold and silver ornaments; everything else was a complete mystery. Fortunately, the child prodigy Taiji was there and gave him a lot of advice; otherwise, he would have been completely clueless and wouldn't have known where to begin.
He felt he managed things fairly well, but without Hua Yan's approval, he was still unsure.
"Oh my! Uncle Tao, you look thinner!"
Hua Yan did feel that Zhang Tao had lost a lot of weight, but he looked much more energetic, clearly a shrewd businessman.
Perhaps Zhang Tao has changed the most among these people. He used to be a composed soldier, then an introverted financial professional, and now a shrewd businessman.
Regardless of what kind of person he is, his heart remains unchanged; he is still the reliable person who will not disappoint those who trust him.
"Jiu'er, how long has it been since you last saw Uncle Tao?"
Zhang Tao's unspoken message was, "I've been like this for a long time, all because of the tasks you've given me. I'm just worried about not doing a good job."
"Hmm! It's been quite a while. Are you feeling alright?"
Hua Yan pretended to be ignorant, but how could she not know how much pressure she was putting on Zhang Tao!
"Hehe! No, I'm perfectly healthy. With all this going on, I can't afford to have any health problems."
Haha! Zhang Tao doesn't speak so bluntly anymore.
"That's for sure. Without Uncle Tao, no one else can really run Jinlou properly."
Hua Yan began to comfort the model worker who was juggling multiple jobs.
"Jiu'er, you're definitely trying to flatter me to death. I've used every trick in the book to get to this point. Maybe someone else wouldn't have had to go through as much trouble as I have."
"Uncle Tao, you're a veritable Versailles. Who else has your abilities?"
"Versailles?"
"It's a subtle way of showing off."
"Jiu'er, I'm just telling the truth, how is that showing off!"
Zhang Tao laughed and denied the claim about Hua Yan.
Hua Yan raised an eyebrow and didn't continue the topic.
"Jiu'er, the gold shop's business is steadily improving. The clothing and home appliances are all our own products and are very popular. We are a bit lacking in the daily necessities sector, and the variety is not as complete. The restaurants have a lot of customers, and in addition to Kyoto specialties, we also offer Liaoning, Shandong, and Cantonese cuisine."
Regarding daily necessities, I'd like to discuss with you how we can make our product range more comprehensive and attract more customers.
Zhang Tao took out his notebook and briefly explained the problem.
"Uncle Tao, I'll introduce you to someone in a bit. She works at the Supply Bureau, and her name is Wenlan. If you need anything, just tell her, and she'll help you."
The Flower Beauty Space is fully stocked with all kinds of supplies, but things are different now. With Wenlan as her strong support, she no longer has to go through the same troubles as in Shengjing.
"Great! That's wonderful! With the help of the comrades from the Supply Bureau, I don't have to worry anymore."
Jiu'er, I think we should arrange things like this next…
Zhang Tao explained his plan to Hua Yan.
"Uncle Tao, let's do it your way. If you have any questions, you can ask General Manager Miao."
Hua Yan doesn't have much time to manage these things now, so she's delegated them all to Miao Xianxing.
"Jiu'er, I'd like to say something unrelated to this topic."
"Hmm? Please speak freely, Uncle Tao."
“Jiu’er, since you went to university, you’ve been coming less and less often. I feel like you’ve almost forgotten about us.”
In the past, Zhang Tao would never have said this, because he was too reserved. Now he says it not because he has become more outgoing, but because he feels that if he doesn't say it now, he will have fewer and fewer opportunities to see Hua Yan in the future.
He used to work for Hua Yan to earn more money and improve his family's financial situation. Now, he's so determined to work for Hua Yan because he considers her family. Besides Hua Yan saving his father from the brink of death, Hua Yan has also become a pillar of support for them.
"Yes! I've come less often, but it's definitely not because I've forgotten you. I trust you all so much, especially you, Uncle Quan, and Uncle Wen. You give me absolutely no worries."
However, I accept this suggestion, and I will definitely come back to see you whenever I have time.
Hua Yan was telling the truth. The people she had chosen were indeed outstanding, and she felt at ease entrusting the affairs here to them.
"You trust us because you believe in us, but we know our own capabilities. Without your and General Manager Miao's leadership, we're always worried that things might go wrong."
Jiu'er, we've all benefited greatly from following you all this way. We always hope to improve ourselves, do more, and take on more responsibilities so that you won't be so tired and can have the joy that children your age should have.
Although we know you're a child prodigy, we still don't want you to shoulder too much responsibility too early.
Zhang Tao regards Hua Yan as a good teacher and helpful friend, as a savior, and even more so as a child he wants to protect.
"Okay! I know, I will definitely grow up happily and healthily as you all wish."
Hua Yan gave Zhang Tao a sincere hug.
Zhang Tao hugged Hua Yan tightly, secretly resolving that he would study hard and grow up quickly so that he could do his part for the person who changed his life and the lives of his family.
