Chapter 111 Tang Guoer: What? You're going to Donghai City? (Explosive Update, Four Chapters Complete!)

Qi Manman's voice was clearly eight decibels higher, so Mo Li immediately moved his phone away and turned on the speaker function.

“I told you the first moment I decided; it couldn’t have been any sooner.”

“You… forget it, wait for me a moment, I’ll come to the shop right away and tell you in detail.”

Qi Manman threw out a sentence, and without waiting for Mo Li to reply, she directly hung up the phone.

About ten minutes later, Qi Manman appeared at Mo Ji Snacks.

Because she had run all the way, her breathing was a bit short. As soon as she entered the shop, she poured herself a glass of purified water and downed it in one go.

Then she poured another glass of water and sat opposite Mo Li.

“Wait, let me catch my breath first…” Mo Li looked at Qi Manman, somewhat speechless.

What was the matter? Couldn't she have just said it over the phone?

Was there any need to rush over so frantically? Wasn't this just making trouble for herself?

A few minutes later, Qi Manman's breathing gradually stabilized, and only then did she say to Mo Li, “When are you planning to go to Donghai City?”

“Next month, I should go to Donghai City first to look around and scout out locations.”

Qi Manman looked at Mo Li with some suspicion.

“You wouldn’t suddenly change your mind again in a few days and decide not to go to Donghai City, would you?”

“No way, An Ran invited me to open a Harmony Garden with her in Donghai City, so I thought I might as well open Mo Ji Snacks in Donghai City too. I’ll definitely be mainly staying in Donghai City for a while.”

“That’s good then! I’ve thought it over, it’s better for me to develop in Donghai City!”

Qi Manman shook her small fist, looking determined.

Mo Li looked at Qi Manman, somewhat speechless; she didn't say that before!

“How can you criticize me for changing my mind so quickly when you do the same?”

“None of your business! It’s decided… I’ll go to Donghai City next month to look for a place.”

As she spoke, Qi Manman paused, secretly glanced at Mo Li, bit her lip, and asked casually, “Oh right, when you go to Donghai City, have you settled on a place to live?”

“I say, Miss Qi, I just had an idea, what do you think?”

“Then… then why don’t we continue to share a rental in Donghai City? Firstly, we can rent a better place for a more suitable price, and secondly, I… I don’t feel very secure living alone.”

After speaking, Qi Manman tightly clenched her fists under the table, looking at Mo Li somewhat nervously, awaiting his answer.

Hearing Qi Manman's words, Mo Li chuckled inwardly.

She actually wanted to continue sharing a rental?

Understood!

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.

Qi Manman still couldn't let go of the perk of unlimited free samples of Mo Ji Snacks's new products.

Mo Li thought about it for a moment and felt it wasn't impossible.

Donghai City is the provincial capital, and renting a place there isn't cheap. Rent for a typical apartment in an ordinary residential area is around three to four thousand, and for a nicer one, it probably goes up to seven or eight thousand.

Two people sharing a rental indeed makes it easier to rent a decent place at a reasonable price.

More importantly, the two of them got along well during their time sharing a rental in the urban-rural fringe of Binhai City, so there's nothing wrong with continuing to share a rental in a different place.

Even if he had to take a step back, sharing a rental with a beautiful woman he could talk to.

Just looking at her was pleasing to the eye, so why not?

Mo Li cleared his throat.

“Since you’ve invited me so sincerely, if I don’t agree, wouldn’t it seem like I’m not giving you face?”

When Qi Manman heard Mo Li's answer, she almost jumped up with joy.

She barely managed to suppress her excitement and said to Mo Li, feigning composure, “Then I thank Boss Mo for giving me this face…”

“I’ll leave the matter of finding a place entirely to you; please put some effort into it…”

“Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

Time quickly moved to September, and Zhou Zheng’s compensation finally arrived in the account smoothly.

On this day, Mo Li invited Tang Guoer to the shop.

After the three were seated, Mo Li went straight to the point with Tang Guoer, saying, “Today is mainly about distributing the money, and I also have something else to say. Let’s distribute the money first…”

Tang Guoer looked at Mo Li with some confusion.

“An Ran is also a shareholder; wouldn’t it be bad if we distributed the money without her?”

“She’s busy with other things and can’t make it. Don’t worry, it won’t affect anything…”

With that, Mo Li handed the ledger to Tang Guoer for her to review.

Tang Guoer, as before, symbolically flipped through a few pages and quickly closed the ledger.

“Just tell me directly… 97”

Mo Li took the ledger back and turned to the August summary page.

“Mo Ji Snacks’s August profit was 456,927.6 yuan. Half will be kept as development funds, leaving 228,463.8 yuan. Your share is 43,407.97, and I’ll keep the change in the public account.”

“In addition, Zhou Zheng’s compensation totaled 1.6 million yuan. This entire amount will be distributed, and I will pay the lawyer’s fees separately from the public account. As agreed, you will receive 300,400.”

“A total of 347,407.”

Tang Guoer looked at Mo Li with some excitement.

“That much? Choosing to invest in Mo Ji Snacks was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life!”

“Are you satisfied with just this? Let me emphasize again, Mo Ji Snacks is just getting started!”

“Mhm mhm mhm… I believe you!”

Tang Guoer nodded vigorously.

The investment returns Mo Li brought her were tangible, and in this regard, she trusted Mo Li unconditionally.

After being happy for a while, Tang Guoer suddenly remembered Mo Li’s earlier words.

“Oh right, didn’t you say you had something else to tell me?”

“Wasn’t I just watching you be happy, preparing to let you be happy a little longer?”

“Ah? Could it be that what you’re going to say is bad news? Forget it, just say it, whatever it is, we’ll face it together!”

Mo Li was almost amused by Tang Guoer’s reaction.

How big of an imagination did one need to come up with such an absurd association?

Couldn't it be that he was letting her be happy first, and then he would make her even happier later?

Mo Li cleared his throat and said to Tang Guoer, “Where did your mind go? It’s good news!”

Hearing that it was good news, Tang Guoer finally breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes at Mo Li in annoyance.

“Can you stop speaking in such a suspenseful way? You scared me to death.”

“I clearly hadn’t said anything yet, and you already started associating things. Is it my fault?”

“I… wasn’t I just worried about you? Forget it, let’s get to the point. What is it exactly?”

“Have you heard of Donghai City?”

Tang Guoer glared fiercely at Mo Li.

“I’ve heard of Amway!”

“I’m planning to open Mo Ji Snacks in Donghai City… 95”

Donghai City is the provincial capital of Dongzhou Province, and Tang Guoer, as a food blogger, went there frequently.

The previous exchange was just a little joke between them, just for fun to lighten the mood.

But Mo Li saying he wanted to open Mo Ji Snacks in Donghai City was no longer a joke.

Provincial capitals indeed offered many opportunities, but the competition was also extremely fierce.

More importantly, if they were to open a shop in Donghai City, what would happen to the shop in Binhai City?

Mo Li didn't have the ability to be in two places at once; could he manage it?

Tang Guoer thought for a moment, then finally asked Mo Li, “I have a question… Binhai City and Donghai City are seventy to eighty kilometers apart. Can you manage both by yourself?”

“Don’t misunderstand, we agreed beforehand that I wouldn’t participate in specific management and operations. I’m not expressing my opinion; I’m just a little worried if you’ll be too tired doing this…”
