"Is it yours?"
"Bro, are you kidding me?" Liu Bo's expression was one of pure shock.
Lin Feng put on a stern face and said seriously, "I'm not kidding. This store is really mine! As for how I got it, I'll tell you later. I called you over because I want to partner up and open this shop together. You provide the labor, I'll provide the capital. How about a 70/30 split?"
Lin Feng had to take care of the kids, and Zhang Yuxi had to attend her classes. After thinking it over, Liu Bo was the only person suitable to watch the store. Besides, Liu Bo and Lin Feng were the closest of friends. Back when Lin Feng didn't have money for food, it was Liu Bo who helped him out. Even though it was just a few packs of instant pickled vegetable noodles, Lin Feng remembered that kindness.
"A 70/30 split?" Liu Bo's heart pounded with excitement at the thought of getting a thirty percent share. "Bro, won't you be losing out on this deal?"
After all, having a store on this pedestrian street was a gold mine. You could make a fortune just by selling beef offal, let alone not having to pay any rent!
"We're such good friends," Lin Feng said with a smile. "What's there to lose?"
Besides, he had the system now. He wasn't worried about money. Opening a store was just something to do.
Hearing this, Liu Bo wanted to run up and give Lin Feng a few big kisses.
"Brother Feng, from now on, I'm with you!"
"That's fine, but what should we sell?" Lin Feng touched his nose, pondering the question.
The safest option was to just rent the shop out. With such a heavy flow of foot traffic on the pedestrian street, plenty of people were eager to open a business here. Renting it for forty to fifty thousand a month would be simple. But Lin Feng didn't want to be a landlord. Since the system had given him this shop, he wanted to try his hand at running something himself.
Liu Bo thought for a moment and suggested, "We could open a barbecue joint or a bubble tea shop. If not, selling clothes is always an option."
"Selling clothes?" Lin Feng glanced at the babies in the stroller and said decisively, "We'll sell baby clothes!"
"Great idea!" Liu Bo clapped his hands in agreement. "It's perfect! You're a new dad with four adorable babies! We won't even need to hire models for the baby clothes!"
"Alright. Let's get some lunch first. This is something we need to plan out properly."
And so, the two men, each pushing a stroller, found a Hunan cuisine restaurant on the pedestrian street and went inside.
Once they were seated, Lin Feng asked the waiter for a pot of warm water to prepare formula for the babies. After being out all morning, the little ones were famished. Before Lin Feng could even finish mixing the formula, they started gurgling and fussing impatiently. Even the fourth baby, who usually loved to sleep in, was now wide awake, his eyes fixed on the bottle.
"Bro, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything," Lin Feng replied without looking up, busy feeding the babies.
Holding the menu, Liu Bo ordered a dish of fish head with chopped chilies, stir-fried beef with chilies, and a plate of blanched choy sum.
Lin Feng was holding the fourth baby and giving him his bottle. As the baby drank, he smiled up at Lin Feng and reached out a tiny hand to touch his nose. Lin Feng's heart warmed, and he leaned down to plant a soft kiss on the fourth baby's face.
"Good boy, drink up your formula..."
The fourth baby seemed to understand and quickly finished his bottle. Lin Feng patted his back to help him burp, then placed him back in the stroller.
Lin Feng had brought toys for each of the babies on their outing. The fourth baby's toy was a cute giraffe that squeaked when squeezed. At nearly six months old, the quadruplets were getting stronger and were incredibly curious about the world around them. After finishing their milk, they all started playing with their respective toys, leaving Lin Feng free from worry.
Just then, a waiter approached with their food. Seeing the babies in the strollers, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what cute babies! And they're quadruplets! That's amazing!"
Lin Feng just smiled and didn't say anything.
After their meal, Lin Feng drove Liu Bo back to his university. They continued to discuss the plans for the store in the car. They finally agreed that Lin Feng would handle all the finances, while Liu Bo would be in charge of running errands, managing the shop, and overseeing the renovations.
"Bro, don't you worry!" Liu Bo promised, thumping his chest. "I'll definitely make our shop a huge success!"
「...」
After dropping off Liu Bo, Lin Feng returned to Rongtai Residence to start making dinner. Before long, Zhang Yuxi arrived home. Smelling the enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen, a happy smile spread across her face.
"Honey, I'm home!"
"Welcome back. Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."
Zhang Yuxi hummed in reply and then hurried to the bedroom to check on the babies.
During dinner, she asked, "Honey, where did you take the babies today?"
"I took them with me to see my dad off, then we went for a walk on the pedestrian street. I'm planning to open a shop there with Liu Bo."
"What are you going to sell?"
"Baby clothes, and maybe some other things."
Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Won't that be too tiring for you?"
"It won't be. I'm just putting up the money. I'm leaving the store management to Liu Bo. He just sits in his dorm playing games all day anyway. It'll be better for him to come out and haul some boxes. He can think of it as a workout," Lin Feng said with a chuckle as he ate his rice.
The store would sell brands that their babies had already used. As for selecting the specific merchandise, that was a task for Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi. From the smallest socks to the warmest winter clothes, the couple had to pick everything out themselves.
Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi didn't finish selecting the samples until midnight.
"Honey, you should go to sleep. I'll go change the babies' diapers."
"I'll come too!" Zhang Yuxi threw on her robe and hopped out of bed.
In the next room, the four babies were sleeping soundly. But the second baby had a habit of kicking off her blanket, leaving her little belly exposed and making her likely to catch a cold.
Zhang Yuxi carefully covered her up again and said worriedly, "The second baby always kicks her blanket off. What should we do?"
"It's okay. I'll get up later tonight to check on her."
"That's so much work for you, honey."
Returning to their bedroom, the couple lay back down. Zhang Yuxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Lin Feng scooted closer and whispered, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"I... I can't sleep."
"Well... maybe we could do some exercise? That might help you sleep better..." As he spoke, Lin Feng deftly began to unbutton her nightgown.
"Honey... stop it." Zhang Yuxi pulled her nightgown closed and forced herself to lie still.
With Lin Feng's current stamina, another "workout" session would last until two or three in the morning! She had experienced his prowess just last night. To be honest, Zhang Yuxi was a little scared...
