Chapter 389: "Have dinner with me tomorrow?" (4)

Zhang Huaxiu looked at Wu Xiuyue, baffled, “Shu Yan’s company is doing fine. Why would she want to open up a shop again?”
Wu Xiuyue looked over at Shu Yan, “I thought you said it isn’t doing well?”
Shu Yan was speechless. She said it did okay; she didn’t say it wasn’t doing well. Could she not tell that she was being humble?
Zhang Huaxiu felt embarrassed and wanted to get up and see Shu Yan out after they’ve chatted a little more but Shu Yan stopped her from getting up.
After Shu Yan was gone, Zhang Huaxiu said helplessly. “Sister-in-law, do you feel that now that you are making money, you are very mighty. Like, the mightiest in City Nan?”
Zhang Huaxiu would have held back in the past. She had already married out and it was best for her to stay out of matters in her maiden family as much as possible. Perhaps because she had just given birth, her personality seemed to have changed a little.
“I wouldn’t say best in City Nan but I’m sure I am up there in the City Nan University area,” said Wu Xiuyue, displeased, seeing the look on Zhang Huaxiu.
Zhang Huaxiu laughed and said, “I didn’t want to get into it with you in the past but I’ll tell you now. My shop has 1/3 of your customer flow a day but I bring in 100,000 yuan of sales a day. Subtracting my costs and other expenses, my shop grosses 60,000 yuan. Shu Yan and I get 30,000 yuan each. More if we have promotional activities during holiday seasons.” Seeing the disbelief on Wu Xiuyue, Zhang Huaxiu carried on, “You looked down on Shu Yan’s company. Do you know the name of her company? Yanxue. Do you know what are some of the brands under Yanxue? Have you heard of Xianxue brand underwear? The most famous underwear brand in the country with close to 1,000 franchise shops. Have you heard of XianYan? The top-tier women’s clothing in the country. They sell out of counters, same tier as the famous foreign brands. All these belong to Shu Yan’s company. Her company’s net worth is in the billions. Even if Shu Yan only has common shares her net worth will be in the hundreds of millions range. And here you asked her to come back to open up a clothing shop?”
Nevermind about Wu Xiuyue, even Father and Mother Zhang were stunned.
“Oh my lord! I stopped a billionaire from leaving earlier and told her to not come again if she wouldn’t stay for dinner,” said Mother Zhang with her heart racing.
“Mom.” Zhang Huaxiu gave her a helpless look and turned back to talk to Wu Xiuyue. “Never mind about Shu Yan. We will never catch up to her level I this lifetime. Let’s look at Lin Hui. Her shop hadn’t even been opened for that long. Have you noticed something?”
“What?” Wu Xiuyue was still in shock that Shu Yan was a billionair.
“All the customers who visited your store at the beginning went to hers. Even if she only sells 10 or so items a day she makes about the same as you. As such, I had been meaning to ask. Why are you always so busy? You run around like a chicken with its head cut off day in and day out making what you are making. Yet you are so happy about it and brag about it in front of Shu Yan……”
Recalling Shu Yan’s net worth, Wu Xiuyue was annoyed instantly. She didn’t know that Shu Yan was faking it. She was so lowkey even though she was so wealthy. One way or another, Wu Xiuyue would not admit that she was at fault.
Shu Yan, how had arrived home, lamented. It was indeed difficult to be friends with someone whose values were too different. One way or another, they had drifted apart and barely kept in touch. It was what it was.
As she was thinking that, her phone rang. She knew for certain it was Feng Zeyu to call at this hour.
“Have dinner over at my place tomorrow?”
“What’s the event tomorrow?” Shu Yan teased him purposefully.
“Nothing special. Just wanted to invite you over for dinner. We don’t have to go over to my grandmother’s place. I cleaned up my place as well.”
Shu Yan chuckled. “Alright then.”
