Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 84 Hidden Worries Behind Rapid Expansion

What have I forgotten?

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai was momentarily stunned, but quickly came to his senses.

I was so busy discussing work with Miss Zhou that I almost forgot it was Miss Shen's birthday tomorrow. Luckily, I had promised to give Miss Shen a special birthday celebration.

Tsk, sex really does lead to trouble. Ye Kai slapped his forehead, taking this as a profound lesson.

"How could I forget?"

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

"While I, Ye, may not be a man of absolute integrity, I am a man of my word, and what I say will never be taken lightly!"

"Miss Shen, please hold up the child!"

Ye Kai showed no sign of guilt and confidently assured Shen Jiayi.

The two chatted on the phone for a long time before finally ending the call.

"You're pretty good at charming girls."

"Why are you so direct with me? I need you to coax me too."

Miss Zhou shook Ye Kai's arms with both hands, pleading in a coquettish manner.

I can't stand it!

Who could have imagined that a cold and beautiful woman like Miss Zhou would do such a thing to her?

If the Queen of the Women's Kingdom had possessed these skills back then, how could she have failed to subdue a mere Tang Sanzang? Even if Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse all voted against it, Tang Sanzang wouldn't have left.

Ye Kai also has different solutions for different target users with different needs.

Although Miss Zhou prefers more direct and in-depth communication, this kind of intimate and affectionate interaction can also bring her a unique emotional value.

Ye Kai used both his hands and mouth to coax the sulking Miss Zhou for quite a while. Then he began to think about how to organize Shen Jiayi's birthday celebration tomorrow so that the little girl would never forget it and completely fall into his arms.

"It's just a birthday celebration, it's the same old thing over and over again, isn't it?"

After recovering, Miss Zhou enthusiastically offered Ye Kai her advice.

There are only a few ways to coax a little girl. Miss Zhou was once a little girl herself, and her family is even better off, so she has naturally seen and experienced everything that is available.

Arranging a birthday party at a hotel, preparing special birthday gifts, organizing a fireworks show outside, and perhaps adding some high-tech elements, is nothing more than that.

"By the way, this is her 18th birthday. We could actually hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her."

"Girls tend to value a sense of ritual."

Miss Zhou thought of this and then gave Ye Kai another suggestion.

"A sense of ritual."

"I can think about that, hmm..."

Ye Kai nodded, thinking to himself that this matter could be handled.

The term "coming-of-age ceremony" is not unfamiliar to him. Foreigners like to do this kind of thing, but it will take a few more years for it to become popular in China. At present, it is mostly popular among wealthy families in China and second-generation overseas families. If you don't have a few millionaires in your family, you are embarrassed to do this.

However, Miss Zhou's suggestion inspired Ye Kai, and he quickly connected it to another matter.

"Sister Zhou, do you have any business dealings in New York?"

"I'd like to print a 'GG' on the GG sign in Times Square. I'm wondering how much it costs there? If there's time, I hope you can help me with that, Sister Zhou."

Ye Kai hugged Zhou Xiaoli tighter and whispered a question while biting her earlobe.

"You can do that?"

Zhou Xiaoli was greatly shocked after hearing this.

……

Xinghua City, Yayuan Residential Area, Building 5, 8th floor, west-facing unit.

When Shen Mingsun got home, it was already past 11 p.m.

Before entering the room, Mayor Shen was still full of energy when he parted ways with the driver. But after entering, he slumped onto the sofa, looking like an old man who had lost all his bones.

The only difference is that Mayor Shen still has a thick head of hair and looks very imposing, a natural leader.

Tomorrow is Jiajia's birthday.

"Now that you've taken a full-time job, you can't even guarantee when you'll be home. I was hoping to discuss with you how to celebrate tomorrow."

Jiang Xin took a hot towel and wiped her husband's face, muttering a few complaints.

"There's nothing we can do."

"Those who are not in a position should not meddle in its affairs; those who are in a position should live up to their responsibilities."

"Is Jiajia already asleep?"

After wiping his face, Mayor Shen finally regained some energy. He drank a couple of sips of hot water, and his eyes became clear again. He gestured for his wife to sit closer, and then casually put his arm around Director Jiang's waist.

After so many years of marriage, Director Jiang's figure has remained unchanged, only a little fuller than when the two were dating, and she only has slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, which are barely noticeable unless you look closely.

While it's true that time never defeats beauty, it's those women with exceptional self-discipline and the time to take care of themselves who remain undefeated.

Although Director Jiang's work is quite busy, her working hours are relatively fixed. Now that she doesn't have to be at the forefront of everything, she naturally has plenty of time to take care of herself and her family.

"Jiajia shouldn't be asleep yet."

"She was chatting on QQ in her bedroom the whole time. I overheard her, and apparently some classmates are planning a birthday celebration for her tomorrow..."

Director Jiang pulled an ear pick from a drawer under the coffee table, and then, using the light from his phone's flashlight, cleaned Mayor Shen's ears.

"This student, is that Ye Kai?"

Mayor Shen kept his eyes closed, not daring to move an inch, for fear that Director Jiang would go deaf him, but he still managed to ask a question.

"I think it's him, it can only be him."

"If anyone else wanted to organize a birthday celebration for Jiajia, she wouldn't agree either."

"Old Shen, what do you think? If Jiajia really marries Ye Kai in the future, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss? With our daughter's qualities, she would have a chance even if she married into a wealthy family in Beijing."

Mentioning Ye Kai, Director Jiang couldn't help but start making connections again.

"Give me a break!"

"What are our family's circumstances? We're just a minor county-level official. What makes us think we can claim a marriage alliance with a wealthy family in Beijing?"

"If the families are not well-matched, will the daughter be bullied after marrying into such a family?"

"I think Ye Kai and Jiajia are a good match. They've known each other since they were little, and they don't have in-laws or so many troubles."

"Although Professor Xu is old, he is highly respected and an academic authority. You can't find anyone as good as him."

Mayor Shen scoffed and then began to list Ye Kai's merits.

"That's true."

"I know Ye Kai is a good young man, but as a mother, I always hope my daughter can marry better. I guess I'm just worried about losing him."

Director Jiang nodded and reflected on his actions.

"Um... that bubble tea shop that Ye Kai and Jiajia started, has it been expanding really fast lately?"

"I've heard this several times in various settings; I'm afraid it's just making people jealous."

"There shouldn't be any major problems for now, but if this continues to develop, there will eventually come a day when we can't handle it anymore."

Mayor Shen hesitated for a moment before reminding Director Jiang.

"Everything else is fine, the only thing that's easy to get stuck on is bank loans."

"After launching its flagship stores in the provincial capital and other prefecture-level cities last month, the milk tea shop has been developing rapidly. Xixi's mom plans to launch two more chain stores in various cities this month."

"If someone deliberately finds fault with the loan process at this time, it is easy to cause problems. The cash flow will be blocked, the expansion plan will be interrupted, and it may even affect the normal operation of the core stores that have been opened before."

Director Jiang was clearly aware of the intricacies involved, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but frown.

"Find some time to have a chat with Ye Kai."

Mayor Shen said to Director Jiang.
