Chapter 154 She is rich and powerful
In the past few days, Sister Meng's injury has recovered well.
Shi Xi and Yan Ran made an appointment to go to the hospital to see Sister Meng in the morning.
First People's Hospital, private VIP ward.
After placing the bouquet of flowers and fruit basket they brought for Sister Meng on the balcony, the two men walked to Sister Meng's bedside.
She can now eat small amounts of liquid food, but she cannot get out of bed yet.
She leaned against the raised headboard and looked at Shi Xi, her eyes full of gratitude towards her.
If she and Sun Zhe had not risked their lives to rescue her, she would have gone down to play chess with the King of Hell.
"Xixi, I really don't know how to thank you."
Sister Meng struggled to pull Shi Xi's hand over, wanting to thank her sincerely.
Shi Xi smiled at her and said in a slightly apologetic tone:
"I'm also at fault for causing you so much pain."
"If I hadn't asked you to help me find out Xiao Linlin's true identity, none of this would have happened."
"Sister Meng, this pearl, gemstone, and gold necklace is my apology to you. You must accept it."
As she spoke, Shi Xi took out an exquisite necklace gift box from her inconspicuous handbag.
Inside lay an antique necklace quietly.
The quality and material are not valuable, but the value is about five million.
Shi Xi knew that all the expensive jewelry bought by Sister Meng was displayed at home and she was reluctant to wear it outside.
This one is just right. You can wear it when going out without worrying about it getting damaged or lost, and it’s also enough to show your status.
Looking at Sister Meng's eyes sparkling with light, Shi Xi knew that she was very satisfied.
"Since it's Xixi's gift, I'll accept it."
"By the way, a few of my business shareholders and wealthy people have come to me again these past few days to ask me to sell antiques on their behalf."
"The men we've found this time are all older. When you're free someday, pick out some antiques that are suitable for them. They're all well-off, so they might buy a lot."
Sister Meng also takes time to do business.
By helping others purchase antiques from Shi Xi, she can earn tens or even millions of dollars for each piece.
This makes much more money than running a beauty salon!
She wanted to change her career as soon as her injury healed, but when she thought that no matter whose antiques they were, it was impossible to sell them so continuously, she gave up this unrealistic dream.
"Okay, I'll definitely go back and prepare well and pick out some good things!"
Shi Xi was also very happy that someone could buy antiques.
The antiques Xiao Jingyan gave this time were all donated by the common people, and were not as valuable as those belonging to the royal family. Shi Xi felt that it would be just right to sell them to small wealthy people like Sister Meng.
After returning to the villa in Jiutang Mansion, she did not forget to prepare the batch of antiques that she was going to sell to the Ye family.
Antiques of two sizes are placed in different boxes.
In addition, she also specially selected two particularly luxurious antique Buddha statues to give to Yan's father and Ye's father.
Now that she owns the entire Zhongli Group, she has no idea how to manage and operate it.
We can only learn from these predecessors.
In the past two days, since the Shi family's affairs were confirmed and Zhongli Group was acquired by her, several general managers who lived nearby had found the address of her newly purchased villa through various channels and came to visit her.
All the shares of the group are in her hands alone, and the general manager of each business is just an employee she hired to help her manage the business.
Now that they have a new boss, they naturally have to curry favor with Shi Xi. After all, no one wants to be fired from such a lucrative job.
Shi Xi felt that he would need to hold a thorough meeting in a few days, inviting all the general managers of the five hotels and three bookstores under the Zhongli Group to gather together so that he could get to know them properly.
After packing up the antiques, Shi Xi's cell phone rang.
Lately, she has been selecting a new warehouse.
The supermarket was burned down, and she could no longer deliver goods to Yan's warehouse, so she had to buy another warehouse.
Near the hotel where Zhongli's home was very close to Jiutang Mansion, she had her eyes on a two-story warehouse with a total area of more than 2,000 square meters.
I heard that the boss used to be in the cold chain business, and there was a cold storage of about 500 square meters on the second floor.
Shi Xi’s favorite place is the cold storage.
This way, when we send some food to Xiao Jingyan that we are afraid of spoiling, we don’t have to rush.
Jintan District is a special tourist and holiday area, located in the suburbs, so the price of this warehouse is not expensive, only about 108 million.
Look, the other party called her to urge her to go over and handle the transfer.
After the other party knew that she was the only shareholder of Zhongli's hotel, thinking that there might be business dealings in the future, he helped her pay the 3% tax for multiple apartments.
Shi Xi was also very generous and gave the other party a hotel VIP card.
The hotel that Zhongli's family owns is a five-star resort hotel, and the VIP card cannot be obtained by simply paying money or spending.
The boss still felt that he had gotten a small bargain.
"Thank you, Miss Shi. I'll take it. If you need any refrigerated transportation business in the future, you can contact me."
The cold chain boss said enthusiastically.
Shi Xi smiled gently, "Children especially love our hotel's water park. Boss, remember to bring your children here often."
Shi Xi also said something polite to him.
After the boss left, Shi Xi took Yan Xing and Yan Yue to stroll around the warehouse.
She can say hello to all the bosses who are currently supplying her with goods, and future goods will be delivered here.
But she couldn't live in the warehouse every day, for fear that she would get up late in the morning and wouldn't be able to come in time to sign for the goods, nor would she be able to open the warehouse door for the delivery person.
After much thought, she decided to hire another doorman.
"Xing, Yue, do you have anyone you know who you can recommend?"
"I want someone who is honest, knowledgeable, and most importantly, can handle things!"
Shi Xi asked Yan Xing and Yan Yue who were beside her.
After listening to her needs, the two of them thought about it seriously.
Soon, their eyes lit up, they smiled at each other, and they had chosen their candidate.
"Miss, we had a colleague who used to be a special forces soldier. Now he's middle-aged and retired, with nothing to do at home. It's just right for him!"
Yan Yue introduced the person and found a photo of that person and showed it to Shi Xi first.
When Shi Xi heard that this person was already retired, he felt that he would be a grandfather. But after looking at the photo, he was definitely a man in his forties, and looked younger than Shi Guolin, Ye's father, Yan's father and the others.
"Uncle Hui is very responsible. He's over fifty years old and has experienced everything. He fits the description of someone who can handle things."
Yan Xing also recommended it.
After listening to some of their stories about Uncle Hui, Shi Xi made the decision to hire this person.
"Go contact him. The salary and benefits will definitely not be bad. Let him ask for it himself. As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy him."
Shi Xi is now very rich.
Although she didn't have much money in her account, after the Ye family's exhibition was over and she gave Sister Meng the things she wanted, she, Shi Xi, would be able to become a billionaire again.
The conditions she offered were very attractive. Uncle Hui could set his own price, and the working hours were very flexible, only requiring one morning from seven in the morning to eleven at noon.
The work is even easier, without any physical work.
With such good treatment and work, almost no one would refuse, and Uncle Hui is no exception. "Sorry, guys, I'm back in the countryside and my internet connection is down, so the update is late. I hope you won't blame me. I'll update all three chapters together today. Love you guys!"
