Chapter 279: Preparing for the opening of the restaurant, Damao returns
Soon, a month passed, and just when people in the courtyard were still gloating over their misfortune, news came out that Li Kangri was going to start a business. This was like another bomb dropped on the courtyard.
That night, at the Yi family, Li Fengjuan gossiped to Yi Zhonghai with a look of disbelief on her face, "Old Yi, have you heard? The Li family kid is going to start a business."
"Who told you that? What business?"
"It was Sha Zhu who blew the whistle, saying that he wanted to follow his master to do business. I thought what Sha Zhu could do was just open a restaurant. What else could he do? But I don't think it's possible. Isn't it prohibited for private individuals to do business now?" Li Fengjuan looked puzzled.
"Hey! This Li family kid is really smart. I heard a lot when I went out to take jobs these days. Now! Maybe private business is really allowed."
"really?"
"I guess it depends on the ability of the kid from the Li family. I've seen it a long time ago. He resigned just because he was dissatisfied with the salary. It's not like what is said in the hospital that he was forced to do so." Yi Zhonghai said with emotion.
"Hey, just do it. It has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we have Zhien now, and it won't hinder our retirement, right?" Li Fengjuan said happily.
"That's right. By the way, has Zhien written to you recently? Has he been promoted?" Yi Zhonghai changed the subject. There was nothing he could do as his son was not close to him and he always wrote Li Fengjuan's name on his letters.
"No, he said it will take a few years! Not so fast!" Li Fengjuan said dejectedly.
"What about the reinforcements from the Li family?"
"Hey! I said he has connections. Zhien said that he is now a platoon leader and will be promoted soon. His family's connections... I really can't envy them!" Li Fengjuan said bitterly.
"In this world, people like us really can't compare with others. Forget it, let's not talk about this terrible thing. You talk to Zhien and find a way to get him promoted and transferred back to civilian work as soon as possible. We are still waiting for him to repay us!" Yi Zhonghai said.
"He said so, and he also said he would work hard. He also told you not to go out to work. He sends me some living expenses every month and told you not to work so hard. Our son is very filial!" Li Fengjuan said happily. She couldn't stop being happy when she thought about seeing the return money.
At the same time, in the living room of the Li family, Sha Zhu, Yu Li, and Li Qinghe all surrounded Li Kangri, "Brother, is it done?"
Seeing Li Qinghe's anxious look, Li Kangri smiled and said, "Is there anything I can't do? I'm here. You guys can prepare tomorrow and we can open the store the day after tomorrow. You have to plan well. I'll invite some people to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow to build up our reputation."
"Master, are you really coming down?" Yu Li interrupted.
"Come down, do I have to say it a few more times, you guys should do a good job in the future, this is just the beginning, remember?"
"Hehe Master, I will listen to Master Aunt and Lily. I am just a cook. I don't know anything else." Sha Zhu said with a smile.
"I know, you are just like that," Li Kangri said speechlessly.
After that, he turned to Yu Li and said, "Lili, if you see any suitable places, tell me and I will buy them first and wait for future use. The more places the better. Your master is not short of money."
"Okay, Master. I will definitely pay attention to it when I have time." Yu Li said with a smile.
Now she is full of energy. She feels that the future belongs to people like her, especially with the support of her master, she will surely be able to achieve great things.
The next day, Li Kangri picked up the phone in the house and started calling people early in the morning.
"Brother Li, my Li's restaurant will open tomorrow, you must come and support us then!"
"Brother, I have waited so long for this day. Just wait, I will call a group of people to come and support you tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Li, I'll wait then. I still need to call someone. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
"Director Zhang, my restaurant is opening tomorrow. Can you..."
"Yes, I can. I haven't seen you for a while. It's a good opportunity. I have a party tomorrow, so I'll go to your place instead."
"Okay, thank you Brother Zhang..."
"You're welcome. I'm here to thank you. I'd love to have the skills of your sister and apprentice!"
……
In this way, the phone calls continued until noon, and Li Kangri finally invited everyone.
"Brother Kangri, you've been up all morning. The phone bill must be quite high, right? You finally stopped." Wang Yue said.
"Hey, everything is difficult at the beginning. This time is enough. Next we just sit and count the money. From now on, the restaurant is your business. I still have other things to do."
"Brother Kangri, do you think I will be the boss's wife from now on?" Wang Yue said with a smile.
"You are too petty. You will be the chairman of the Li's Restaurant in the future. This is just the first one."
"What is a chairman?" Wang Yue asked puzzledly.
"This chairman is..."
So, Li Kangri began to teach Wang Yue some scientific knowledge.
While the couple was chatting and flirting, at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Damao, dressed in a suit and tie and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, was looking at the gate and reminiscing!
"I'm back, I'm finally back. I missed you so much, but you haven't changed at all."
"Boss, is this where you grew up?" asked Secretary Huang.
"Well, how is it? Beautiful, right?" Xu Damao asked.
"Beautiful, antique, really beautiful." Secretary Huang flattered.
"Yes, there is no such ancient courtyard house in Hong Kong, Boss. It must have been a royal palace or a prince's palace, right?" Secretary Li asked.
"The Prince's Palace."
"Oh, this time we have really broadened our horizons following the boss. Boss, can you take us to the Forbidden City some other day?" Secretary Li said coquettishly.
"Look at the time, look at the time. You have to see my master first. When you see my master later, be polite to him, otherwise don't blame me for dealing with you." Xu Damao reminded.
"Boss, you have said this no less than ten times. Your master is an expert and the largest shareholder of our company. I can even recite it by heart." Secretary Li said unhappily.
"That's good to know. Now follow me in."
After saying that, Xu Damao was the first to step into the courtyard. Returning to the courtyard, he had a light and fluttering feeling. The feeling was indescribable. It was a feeling of returning home in glory, but also a sense of homesickness.
As soon as he entered the front door, Xu Damao met Yan Fugui, who was watering the flowers with his butt sticking out. Seeing that this old man was still guarding the gate as he had done in the past ten years, Xu Damao became playful as ever.
"Hey, Uncle, why are you still watering the flowers and guarding the gate? What time is it now? It's almost winter, aren't you afraid that the flowers will freeze to death?"
