Li Man's brows furrowed lightly. She was not eager to go abroad because she couldn't bear to leave her daughter behind. Besides, she still hadn't settled the accounts with Huang De Han. She couldn't just leave without any worries.
Gu Ya looked at Li Man and asked, "Li Man, what do you think? Xiao Hui wants to leave, what about you? Do you want to go with us?"
Li Man shook her head and replied, "You go ahead. I still have a lot of things to take care of. I'll join you after I divorce Huang De Han."
"That works too. Once I settle down, you can come and find me. I'll first go there to understand the local market situation," Gu Ya suggested.
After a moment's pause, Gu Ya glanced at everyone present and said, "I have a plan. Would you like to participate?"
"What plan?" Chen XiaoHui asked with interest.
Tan Xi Yuan immediately expressed his willingness, saying, "No matter what the plan is, count me in."
Gu Ya smiled and turned to Tan Xi Yuan, saying, "You don't even know what I'm going to do, yet you're already participating."
Curiously, Tan Xi Yuan asked, "Then what exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Ya no longer kept it a secret and said directly, "I want to invest in a Chinese restaurant. I've been thinking about it these past few days. Now that you all are going with me, it couldn't be better. However, the restaurant can't be registered under my name. I want it to be under your names."
"Why can't it be under your name?" Chen XiaoHui asked, puzzled.
"If Tang Kai knows that I'm opening a restaurant, he definitely won't give the money as willingly as he does now. And I won't be able to casually come up with an excuse to ask him for the money," Gu Ya explained.
"That makes sense."
"So how do you want to proceed?" Tan Xi Yuan asked, intrigued.
"Do you want to invest together?" Gu Ya replied with a counter-question.
"Yes!" Tan Xi Yuan readily agreed.
Timidly, Chen XiaoHui asked, "How much do we need to invest?"
She wasn't as wealthy as Gu Ya and Tan Xi Yuan. If they were investing millions, she didn't have the money to join them.
Gu Ya smiled and said, "You can invest as much as you want. We'll divide the shares based on our investments. You'll get as much as you put in, and I'll cover the rest."
"That sounds good. Count me in," Chen XiaoHui quickly said.
"You can go and investigate first, and then I'll see how much I can invest," Tan Xi Yuan suggested.
Gu Ya turned to Li Man and asked, "Li Man, what about you? Do you want to open a restaurant with us?"
Li Man nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Great!" Gu Ya exclaimed happily, her blood pumping with excitement. "We'll make money together and achieve financial independence. We won't rely on men, only on ourselves!"
"Yes! We'll rely on ourselves!"
Li Man and the others echoed, their enthusiasm soaring. Making money wasn't actually difficult, but you needed startup capital. Now that Gu Ya had the money and was willing to lend them a hand, how could they not be happy?
Several women began to discuss enthusiastically.
"Let XiaoHui manage the accounts. She's more meticulous," Gu Ya suggested.
"Okay, I'll handle the accounts. You can rest assured that I will make everything clear and transparent, easily understandable at a glance," Chen XiaoHui replied without hesitation, patting her chest to assure them.
"Let Li Man handle the procurement. Li Man is diligent," Tan Xi Yuan said.
Li Man quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't count me in just yet. I'll invest the money, but I may not be able to go over there so soon."
"Well, in that case, we'll have to hire a few more people. Xi Yuan, you're pregnant, so you can't handle so much," Gu Ya said.
