"Alright, I understand the principle of not biting off more than I can chew!"
Zhao Feiyan continued to herself, "Instead, I want to see if I can handle this automobile industry!"
In fact, Zhao Feiyan's chain restaurant development plan was far from over.
According to Zhao Feiyan's own investment plan, she intended to expand her chain restaurants to all parts of the country.
However, in the actual investment process, Zhao Feiyan encountered considerable resistance.
The Eastern continent was vast and resource-rich, and the cuisines from different regions in the east, west, north, and south had vastly different flavors.
Currently, the chain restaurants Zhao Feiyan was operating were not specialty restaurants.
The taste of their dishes was also adjusted to suit the palate of residents in the Kyoto area.
This kind of flavor profile was naturally fine for development in the Kyoto area.
However, once they moved away from their local advantage and expanded elsewhere, they would face a Waterloo.
Even if the restaurant's service quality was good and the prices were affordable.
If the taste of the dishes could not satisfy the preferences of the local population, they would still not be able to develop.
Zhao Feiyan wanted to develop her chain restaurants nationwide.
As soon as she took the first step, she encountered a huge setback.
Although Zhao Feiyan was still trying her best to overcome difficulties and continue expanding her business empire.
Zhao Feiyan also knew very well that continued blind expansion was not the right path.
It was under these circumstances that Zhao Feiyan decided to come to Liu Kai Xuan to "seek guidance."
It was worth noting that Zhao Feiyan had started investing in business before Liu Kai Xuan.
But now, Liu Kai Xuan's assets far surpassed Zhao Feiyan's.
Moreover, Zhao Feiyan's company development had already encountered a clear bottleneck.
Yet, Liu Kai Xuan's company was still developing at a vigorous and rapid pace.
Even with Zhao Feiyan's proud personality, she had to admit that Liu Kai Xuan's business acumen was indeed more formidable than hers.
...
At a critical moment, Yi Zhonghai stabbed Qin Huairu in the back, and through this method, Yi Zhonghai successfully gained Liu Kai Xuan's trust.
Logically speaking, Qin Huairu's actions this time were certainly enough to warrant a prison sentence.
However, the police officer in charge of this case also noticed something distinctly unusual about Qin Huairu during the investigation.
Qin Huairu's mental state was clearly not normal.
Finally, after judicial appraisal, it was discovered that Qin Huairu did indeed suffer from schizophrenia.
Mentally ill patients lack full criminal responsibility.
It was for this reason that Qin Huairu temporarily escaped legal sanctions.
However, a mentally ill person like Qin Huairu, suspected of assaulting others, certainly could not be allowed to continue acting with impunity.
Although Qin Huairu escaped imprisonment, she was sent to a mental hospital for mandatory treatment.
At the same time, although this incident had passed, its impact was exceptionally profound.
Furthermore, the public opinion atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively.
One evening, as soon as Yi Zhonghai left the courtyard, a large group of people behind him started discussing.
"Alas... I never thought Kai Xuan would arrange a job for Yi Zhonghai!"
"Considering their past relationship, it was as bitter as fire and water!"
"Go on, Yi Zhonghai shamelessly went to be someone's dog!"
"It's just that the dog owner was in a good mood and threw him a bone, what's there to make a fuss about!"
"I also think there's nothing much to talk about regarding this matter!"
"The truly exciting thing is the matter of Bang Geng being killed!"
"I went to Bang Geng's death scene at the time, and the scene was truly unbearable to look at!"
"Enough, enough, Old Hu, you should stop talking about it!"
"You've already said this trivial matter thousands of times!"
"Bang Geng's death was entirely his own doing; this kid did too many bad deeds and never repented!"
"If heaven doesn't punish evil, heaven will!"
"Yes, including Bang Geng's grandmother, Zhang Cuihua, her death back then was also extremely tragic!"
"The Jia family committed all sorts of evil deeds and their tragic deaths were their just desserts; they are not worthy of any sympathy at all!"
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's stop talking about it!"
"Talking about this late at night is so eerie!"
In Yi Zhonghai's home, the sisters Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, staying at home and listening to the pervasive rumors outside, were filled with anxiety and unease.
Finally, Xiao Huaihua could not help but ask, "Sister, our brother was killed, and our mother has been arrested now!"
"What should we do at this time?"
"Should we..."
"No need!" Xiao Huaihua interrupted Xiao Dang before she could finish: "Alright Huaihua, we just need to take care of ourselves!"
"I also feel very sad about Bang Geng's matter, but he is already dead, and there is nothing we can do!"
"As for Qin Huairu, didn't our father (Yi Zhonghai) just say that she is not in jail now, but has gone to a mental hospital."
"Mentally ill patients are best treated by letting them recover well in a mental hospital!"
"Not to mention that we don't have the ability to bring her out of the mental hospital to support her!"
"Even if we really brought her out of the mental hospital, what would be the point?"
"Could it be that you have the ability to cure her madness?"
"Uh, this..." Xiao Huaihua was instantly speechless.
It should be known that Qin Huairu was now suffering from madness!
Madness was different from other illnesses; most other patients were in a state of lying in bed awaiting treatment.
But mad patients would absolutely not be so "obedient."
Not only would mad patients not lie in bed obediently to recover, but they would also go out and maliciously attack others.
If Xiao Huaihua went to bring Qin Huairu back from the mental hospital now, and Qin Huairu caused trouble again in the future, she would have to bear the responsibility.
After the sisters discussed, they finally decided to follow Yi Zhonghai's advice and no longer concern themselves with Qin Huairu's mess.
Let Qin Huairu fend for herself in the mental hospital.
...
Time passed quickly, and another month went by in the blink of an eye.
This day was a grand occasion for Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan's first automotive trading company, which she had invested in, finally began operations.
In fact, Kai Xuan Group also had an automotive trading company under its umbrella, the Xingchen Automobile Trading Company, which Liu Kai Xuan had personally founded.
This company had already developed to a certain scale.
Zhao Feiyan's Cai Yan Automobile Trading Company was able to develop so rapidly with the strong support of Xingchen Automobile Trading Company.
What made Zhao Feiyan somewhat puzzled was: Liu Kai Xuan was already involved in this industry himself, so why did he recommend her to get into it?
